Chapter 2, A date?
~*~*~*~
The rest of the day went by pretty fast. After dinner I went back up to the common room to find Lily sitting at a table doing her homework.
"Hey, why weren't you at dinner?" I asked, taking a seat across from her.
"Oh, well I went earlier. Plus I'm still pissed off at James. I don't even want to look at him."
As if on cue the Marauders walked through the portrait hole. It's funny how fate works, isn't it? James glanced at Lily, and I watched them settle themselves in armchairs on the other side of the room. I snuck a quick glance at Sirius, who was talking to Remus and laughing. His smile was to die for.
"It's obvious you like him." Lily said looking at me.
"What? So...?"
"But he's so arrogant. Why can't you like Remus or someone like that?" she asked, looking over at them. Remus was now reading a book. I rolled my eyes.
"Remus is good looking and all, but he's just not my type." I said.
"Whatever. You're just gonna get hurt in the end."
"Lily, I can take care of myself." I told her. A long silence followed.
"What about James?" I asked her, breaking the silence.
"He's a self-centered, bullying..."
"Lily, I've heard all this before. Can't you give him a chance? He's crazy about you."
"No. Maybe when his big head deflates a little, maybe then I'd think about it."
A couple of hours later we were the only ones left in the common room, along with the Marauders. I was reading a magazine, Remus and Lily were reading a book, Peter fell asleep in his chair, and Sirius and James were having a heated discussion.
"Alright I'm going to bed." Lily said getting up and gathering her books from the table. As Lily headed to the girl's dormitories James jumped up and ran over to her.
"What do you want Potter?" Lily asked, annoyed.
"That was harsh." James replied, looking a little hurt.
"You deserved it."
"Okay, anyways I'm sorry about today."
"That's good to know," she said impatiently. "Look, I've got to go to bed. I'm tired." she said turning to head up to the girl's dormitories.
"Goodnight Lily." James said, but if she didn't hear him or was just ignoring him, he didn't know. He went in the opposite direction, and went up to the boy's dormitories. I felt bad for him. I thought Lily was too harsh on him. I looked up from my magazine, and looked over to where Sirius was sitting. He was looking at me, and when I looked at him he looked away. I smiled inwardly, and decided that if I didn't say something we would never get any where. But before I could do anything, he got up and came over.
"Is this seat taken?" he asked, motioning to the seat next to me.
"No." I answered putting down my magazine.
"So..." he started.
"So." I repeated.
"How are you doing?" he asked. Real smooth.
"Fine. Do you even know my name?" I asked trying not to sound rude.
"Of course, it's Jesse Farrell."
"So what's up? Is there something you wanted?"
"Umm... not really. Well, it's a Hogsmeade weekend this Saturday and I was wondering if you wanted to get a drink with me or something?"
"Sure. As a date?"
"Yeah," he answered casually, "as a date." Then he smiled at me and headed up to the boy's dormitories.
I couldn't believe it. I was going on a date with Sirius Black! I could almost sing. I wanted to scream as I walked up to the girl's dormitories. I smiled to myself as I got in bed, and within minutes I fell asleep.

Finally chapter 2 is done! Sorry if it sucks and seems a bit draggy. It seems I am suffering from a temporary brain block. I already have an idea of what might happen (there may be a surprise), but if anyone has any ideas or suggestions to make this more interesting please tell me.
Thanks to all my reviewers!
Lupin-luver-72: Thank you so much for reviewing! And, please if you have any suggestions for my story please tell me. Anyways your story is great! Long live the Marauders!
PadFootCc: Thanks for reviewing, and sorry if it took me a while to update. As I already said I am suffering from a temporary brain block.
Muted Faith63: Thanks for the compliment, and I know what you mean. But I'm glad you like it.
