Chapter 13: Planning

Amelia Fason's POV:

I sat alone near the fireplace with my purple notebook, lying opened on my lap.

" What does Sirius like? " I muttered to myself. Suddenly, I felt like I didn't know Sirius at all.

We've only met sometimes and just said hi but never into introducing... I protested to the voice in my head.

" Hi, Amy! " someone shook my shoulders so hard that I felt my head spinning. I felt dizzy.

" Hi, Lily. Wh-what's up? " I asked, trying to shake the dizziness away. " Could you stand still a moment? "

" I am standing still, Amy. " Lily frowned. " Oh, I'm so sorry! "

" It's okay, " I assured her.

" So...Amy, I got James Potter for my Christmas Angel. " Lily told me, smiling broadly.

" I had- " before I could continue, Lily interrupted me.

" No! Don't say! You got, Sirius Black! Am I right?! " Lily said, breathlessly.

" Yes, you are right, " I told her, smiling.

" Seeeeeee, I told you! " Lily said in her know- it -all voice.

" Ha ha, very funny, Lil. " I rolled my eyes, slightly.

" Well... what are you doing, now? " Lily asked me, indicating the notebook which was now lying on the

ground.

" I'm planning, " I told her, simply.

" Planning? Planning what? " she asked me, totally confused.

" I'm planning what to get for Sirius for Christmas, " I answered.

" Sirius doesn't like anything except you, " Lily teased me.

" Lily! " I pretended to blush. " Stop that! "

" Okay, okay. " lily raised her hands in defeat.

" So...what does he like? " I dropped my voice into a whisper.

" Beats me, " my best friend shrugged.

" What?! " I exclaimed. " Now, I'm in trouble! "

" Why? " Lily asked, clueless.

" Oh, don't you know! If I don't get anything for him...then- " I stopped mid sentence.

" What? Then what?! " Lily echoed.

" Oh, I don't know! " I sighed. " Maybe he'll feel left out, I guess. "

" Amy, Amy, Amy, don't you know? " she paused, dramatically.

" Know what? " I demanded.

" You could sent him letters...I mean love letters or poems. " Lily suggested.

" LOVE LETTERS?! POEMS?! ARE YOU CRAZY?! " I shouted at her.

" Well, sure! " Lily argued. " You don't have a gift, right?! "

" Yeah...well, I-uh, well-you see, " I stuttered.

" That'll do, " Lily smirked at me.

" B-but..." I started to protest.

" If you don't, then I'll write. " Lily dared me.

" NO! Don't...um...I-I write it myself, " I lied to her.

There's no way I'm going to write a love letter to him! This is so turning into a nightmare!

Sirius Black:

What would Amelia like to have? he asked himself for the tenth time as he stared up at the ceiling.

He tired of guessing game. He sat up in bed and sighed.

Tomorrow is Hogsmeade Weekend and I still don't have a something to get for her! he thought frantically and

groped around in the dark for his beside lamp switch. he grabbed the long roll of nearly crushed parchment

from under a thick book. He scanned the list once again and suddenly a gift came into his mind. A perfect

gift, more perfect than anything else. A rose.

Yes! That would be perfect! he thought, smiling happily.

I'll get her the most perfect, scented rose for her in Hogsmeade tomorrow.

And closed his eyes and fell into a dreamless sleep.

I'm really sorry that this is short but I really have to go. School's about to start! See you all!
