A/N: Ok…so I hope you liked it. I never really know what to say in these things so if you're still reading it I'd suggest that you'd stop.

"Prongs! Get up you lazy git!" Sirius shouted in James' ear.

"What? Can't a guy get some sleep?" James replied still half asleep.

"Hogsmeade!" Remus said brightly coming out of the bathroom.

"Hogsmeade!" James yelled jumping out of bed, "I get next shower!" and he raced toward the bathroom.

"Good to have him back," Remus said.

"Moony you are such a loony," Sirius said laughing.

"Oh come on, Padfoot, you know you love him. You were the one almost carried to classes because you were so obsessed with making sure he was ok," Remus said teasing Sirius lightly.

"Well, ok, I'm glad he's fine now, but if you tell him I was worried I'll skin you alive," Sirius threatened.

"You secret is safe with me," Remus reassured him.

"What secret?" James asked coming out of the bathroom.

"Who he likes," Remus lied before Sirius could reply.

"How come you never told me, Padfoot?" James asked smirking.

"Probably because you've been layin' in bed, unconscious for a week," Sirius muttered darkly.

"Are you taking her to Hogsmeade?" James asked ignoring Sirius' comment.

"No, he isn't taking anyone," Remus said absently.

"You aren't taking anyone?" James said confused.

"Holly doesn't have a date either, so we're just going to hang out," Sirius said trying to sound kind of offhand.

"Holly doesn't have a date either?" James said now really confused.

"Yes, well, I think it's more like no one dared to come near her," Remus said sniggering.

"I don't understand. Holly's like the prettiest and most popular girl in the whole school, surely she would have a date. And you Sirius, I mean there were tons of girls wanting to ask you," James said completely lost.

"I guess I just turned them all down," Sirius said looking out a window.

"Prongs, do I have to draw a picture for you?" Remus said, "Sirius turned down every girl that asked him so he'd be sure to not have a date. Then he beat up or threatened the guys who wanted to ask Holly to go, so then she wouldn't have a date."

"Why would he beat up people who were going to ask Holly," James said. "OH! I get it! Sirius was going to pull the old 'lets go as friends' thing on Holly, so he wouldn't have to ask her to go with him."

"I was starting to think that bump on your head damaged your brain," Remus said laughing.

"That's completely rubbish," Sirius said as they walked out the dorm.

"Yeah sure, whatever, Padfoot," James said Remus and him exchanging looks.

When they arrived in Hogsmeade, the boys took off for Zonko's, while the girls headed to the post office. They planned to meet outside of the Three Broomsticks at noon.

"So Moony, Prongs, and Wormtail," Sirius asked casually, "Where are you planning on taking your dates?"

"Miera and I planned to go to Madame Puddifoots."

"Clohe and I are going to Honeydukes."

"Wherever Carrice wants to go," Peter said.

"Why do you want to know, Padsie?" James asked.

"Just curious," Sirius said as he bounded into Zonko's.

"I'll buy you a drink," Sirius offered Holly as the other couples headed on their way.

"Alright," Holly said and they headed into the Three Broomsticks.

"Why, if it isn't Sirius Black! Where's James?" Madame Rosemerta asked, then eyeing Holly she said, "Ah, I see you brought one of your girlfriends along. And what's your name m'dear?"

Holly said they were just friends at the exact moment Sirius said Holly. Madame Rosemerta laughed, and gave Sirius a wink. Sirius could feel his face turn pink, and tried to hide it from Holly.

"Do you bring lots of girls in here?" Holly asked offhandedly.

"NO-I mean, well, a few, usually James and I come in and talk to Madame Rosemerta," Sirius said quickly, "So, do you think we could win the quidditch cup this year?" he said trying to change the subject.

"Yeah, we've got a good team," Holly said, "So what are we going to do the rest of the time?"

"Well, I was thinking we could pay our friends a little visit," Sirius said evilly.

"You really are too much, Sirius. I mean, it is their first date, we could break them up or something," Holly said laughing.

"Oh, come on. Have a little fun, besides if things get out of hand, I can straighten them out. I always do," Sirius pleaded.

"Okay, okay, so where are we going first?" Holly said.

"Holly get down, they're coming out!" Sirius whispered loudly.

"Shh, I'm going, jeez. Do you have the rice ready?" Holly said, crouching down by Sirius in the bushes.

James and Miera had just finished eating at Madame Puddifoot's, and walking out they were bombarded. Sirius and Holly were throwing rice at them, like muggles did at weddings. Only their rice had a small trick to them.

"What the-?" James said trying to shield him and Miera from the rice.

"James, it's all over your hair," Miera said laughing.

"Me?" James said shaking the rice from his hair, "Look at you! Just shake it out so we can get a move on."

"I can't I'll mess up my hair!" Miera said.

"Oh come here, I'll do it," James said.

He carefully pulled out the rice, muttering to himself about girls and their hair. He finally got it down to the last piece, but he couldn't get it out. It just kept getting smaller and smaller. He finally got it out and turned to tell Miera, but when he turned his head his lips met hers. It seemed like ages before they pulled apart.

"Go Prongs, Go Miera!" Sirius jumped out of the bushes doing some sort of strange looking victory dance.

"Padfoot, did you set this up?" James asked accusingly.

"Of course, well, I guess Holly helped, but I-" he fell into uncontrollable laughter.

"Oh, come on Sirius, we have to get Remus and Clohe. And stop doing that dance. You look like an idiot," Holly said pulling Sirius' arm.

Sirius pretended to look hurt, while James and Miera laughed. He practically skipped after Holly, waving goodbye to James and Miera.

"Sorry about that," James said to Miera, grinning stupidly.

"It's ok, I kind of liked it," she replied, blushing.

"Let's make them eat those," Sirius said pointing to a large sign that read,

'New! Mix-n-Match Candies!

Makes whoever eats them fall in love

With the person next to them!'

"I don't know, something wacky could happen," Holly said uncertainly.

"They already like each other, it can't do much harm," Sirius pointed out.

"Ok, fine, but if this backfires, it's all you," Holly said shrugging.

"Moony!" Sirius called moving toward Remus and Clohe, "You guys have got to try this new sweet! They're great!"

"What are they," Remus asked interestedly.

"Umm…" Sirius pretend to look at a sign, "Coco Sherbet Ball. Here have one," he said smiling.

Remus and Clohe each took one and popped in their mouth. It was about 30 seconds later, when things took a turn for the worse. Remus turned to Agatha Emmet, a sixth year Hugglepuff, and asked her out. Agatha had always been quite taken with Remus and she immediately accepted.

"What's Moony think he's doing?" Sirius asked Holly, as Remus took Agatha into his arms.

"I think we got worse problems with Clohe," Holly answered.

Sirius looked toward Clohe, he eyes almost literally popped out of their sockets. She was making out with Snape. Okay, so things had gotten a little out of hand, he could fix it.

"Erm-How long were these supposed to last?" Sirius asked Holly as he saw many students stopping to stare.

"How am I supposed to know, genius?" Holly snapped back.

"Clohe what are you doing?" Remus seemed to have snapped out of it.

"Me? Look at you," Clohe exclaimed.

They both turned to look whose arms they were in. Clohe and Snape immediately let go, Remus, however, couldn't manage to wiggle out of Agatha's arms. Remus looked slightly angry, okay, I admit a little more than slightly.

"Believe it or not, there is a logical explanation for all this," Sirius said grinning feebly.

"I assume you started this," Remus said gritting his teeth.

"I think Holly should get some credit too," Sirius said smiling at Holly, she just gave him a death stare, "Ok, maybe it was all me, but that is not what you should be worried about. You should be worrying about how you all are going to clear this up," Sirius said trying to get out of trouble.

"What in bloody hell did you do?" Remus said dangerously.

"Okay, Okay, calm down, mate. I gave you both a sweet that was supposed to make you fall in love with each other, and as you might be able to tell it backfired a small amount," Sirius said innocently.

"It backfired a small amount," Remus said still stuggling to get away from Agatha, "Aren't you precious. I'll kill you, and I'll make it look like a bloody accident, when I get away from Agatha."

"Now would be a good time to head back to Hogwarts," Sirius gulped and ran out of the store.

"Sorry," Holly apologized and ran after him.

"I can't believe Remus didn't kill you on the spot," Holly said angrilily.

"Oh come on, Shorty, you have to admit it was the funniest thing ever," Sirius said grinning boyishly.

"Shorty?" Holly asked trying to hold back a laugh, "You so full of yourself."

"What, you don't like your name?" Sirius teased her, "And you did think that whole incident back there was funny, just admit it."

Holly finally busted out laughing, "The looks on their faces were priceless! I thought Remus was going to kill you or Agatha."

"Yeah, I'm the all time master with funniness," Sirius boasted.

"Whatever!" Holly said pushing him, "I bet you 5 galloens I beat you at chess," she said as they walked into the common room.

After Sirius lost five games in a row and owed Holly 25 galloens, they decided to quit. Sirius didn't know what the point was for him to play chess. The only person he could beat was Peter and that wasn't saying much. He just wasn't good at the game.

"I had lots of fun today Sirius," Holly said as she put away her chess set.

"Yeah, me too," Sirius said.

"Maybe we could do it again," Holly said smiling.

"I-erm, yeah, sure," Sirius studdarded.

"What would you classify 'us' as Sirius?" Holly asked with a strange look in her eyes.

"Umm-er-umm," 'say something you idiot,' "Good friends?" Sirius said mentally kicking himself.

"I really like you Sirius," Holly said moving closer.

"Er-," Sirius stated but before he could say anything Holly's lips were on his, that was until the door burst open.

"Sorry," James said and he turned around.

Sirius finally pushed Holly away, "We'll never be more than friends."

Sirius rushed out of the common room. James looked from Holly, who had tears streaming down her face, to the door Sirius just went through. He tried to comfort Holly, knowing that Sirius wouldn't want to talk, but she ran up into her dormitory. 'Life's too complicated,' he thought to himself and left to play some solitary quidditch.

He nicked a snitch from the quidditch cabinet, and let it loose. After almost a half an hour of flying he saw someone flying around below him. They didn't see him, so he moved closer to see who it was. Lily Evans.

"Nice night for flying, isn't it Evans?" James said startling Lily so much she would have fallen from his broom if he hadn't caught her.

"I didn't know anyone was here," Lily said blushing.

"I won't bother you," James reassured here.

"Oh, no I can leave," Lily replied breathlessly.

"Nah, I have to find Sirius at some point. Did you here about Holly and him?" James asked.

"Yeah, sad," Lily said.

"So, why are you out here?" James asked curiously.

"Oh, I really like flying, I just don't understand quidditch, and I'm bad at what I know about," she said laughing.

"Well, it you don't have anything else to do I could explain it to you, then we could play some," James said offhandedly.

"Umm, ok, sure," Lily said.

James started to explain the game to Lily, showing her moves, then he eventually started to play against her. Unfortunately, they were watched by a very angry Amos Diggory.
