Disclaimer: Nup of course I don't own the HP characters- do you seriously
think I'm that smart? But you gotta admit my plot is pretty good eh?! *Rubs
chin thoughtfully*
A/N: Ah couldn't be bothered with all the author note crap, just let you get on with the story for once, shall I? PS. I HAVE CHANGED THE LAST CHAPTER! READ IT AGAIN (if you can be bothered). I CHANGED THE SONG!
FLAMING HEAD AND CROW FACE
Melinda's jaw dropped. Was she hearing this right? Did Sirius just call out her name? The crowds roared liked crazy. Whatever reason they were for she did not know or cared for that matter. She lifted her head and caught his gaze. Looking at Sirius' crystal blue eyes made her face turn into a deep shade of crimson. He gave her a signal to beckon her over.
"Well go on!" Lily pushed her towards the stage.
Melinda buried her head in her hands. This is so embarrassing. Damn you Sirius! As she made her way towards the stage, everyone stared at her hard. It seemed like everyone was inspecting her, trying to figure out why the hottest guy in school liked her so much. Some girls were chucking a tantrum and giving her the look of the deepest loathing. Others were cheering like this was all an entertainment show.
Oh my Gosh, what the heck am I doing! Millions of thoughts ran through her head, the whole thing felt like a dream. She walked up from the table self- consciously, truly and utterly mortified.
Why did I even walk up in the first place, she wondered. Was it because Lily had nudged her? She wanted to sit down but it was a little late now. She kept her eyes to the ground, one thing she couldn't believe was why in the world Sirius had sung to her. True, it was really sweet of him but it was so...unlike him!
*****
Sirius felt his heart beating madly. The girl in his dreams is walking up to me. Yes walking up to me! This would not have mattered to him few months ago, when he was the biggest player. He had never really worried or bothered much about girls- they usually make the first move anyway. But Melinda was different, she was unique and she was a challenge.
He took Melinda's hand and pulled her into an embrace. (I didn't know how to write this part so just pretend that they bowed and walked off stage okay?)
Yes a hug, not a kiss. Again something that he would not usually do. But Sirius didn't care; he'd swap this hug for 100 kisses any day.
"Will you be my girlfriend?" he whispered into her ear.
"Who is supposed to be your girlfriend?" she shot back in a friendly way.
"Haven't dated anyone for two weeks. Two weeks! You can break the record by being mine."
Melinda smiled and did not reply. She gave him a swift kiss on the lips and walked off, grinning from ear to ear.
***** ~~Girl's Dorm~~
"Spill!" Lily bugged her for the thousandth time. The day's nearly over and Mel still won't give the details.
"I thought girls are supposed to gossip." Rachel prompted.
"Did you kiss him?" Tamari asked eagerly.
"Sorry to disappoint you guys, but Sirius and I..." Melinda began. Lily, Rachel and Tamari were hanging onto every word she was saying.
Rachel made a gesture to continue.
"Sirius and I did nothing!" Melinda laughed in a silly way.
"Wow, that was so funny!" they all rolled their eyes.
"Did you see McGonagall's face, she was about to burst out shouting detention!" Lily exploded in laughter. Seeing the teachers' reactions was definitely a highlight. Of course, her best friend getting lucky was pretty cool too.
"Oh yeah and Grouch (potions teacher) had the most tormenting look on his face!" Tamari giggled.
While Tamari and Rachel were arguing over which teacher looked the funniest, Lily couldn't help but to think about Potter again. Nosy git, why did he read my diary? He is so annoying! But why do I get this weird feeling when I'm around him then?
***** ~~Boy's Dorm~~
"I love you baby and if it's quite all right, I need you baby to warm the lonely nights-" Sirius sang optimistically, practically bouncing up and down his bed.
"Um- Sirius? Do me a favour and shut up." James stuffed the pillows over his ears.
"You're just jealous! I love you baby, trust in me when I say, Oh pretty baby, don't bring me down I pray-"
"Someone give him a punch so we can all have peace." Remus muttered groggily.
Just then Peter walked in with a stack of food in his chubby arms. He gave Sirius a foolish grin and chorused, "Sirius and Melinda sitting on a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G." He stopped because he didn't know what came next.
"Good one Pete!" Sirius beamed. "Sirius and Melinda sitting on a tree, K-I- S-S-SI-N-G!"
And so it went on for the whole night.

James and Lily had been excused from classes, as they had to set up the Halloween decoration. The hall went through a drastic change- it now looked like haunted house. It was a good thing that both of them were so smart- Lily top in Charms and James top in Transfiguration. They were both still ignoring each other, pretty much doing their own thing and only talked when they had to.
"Look, can we please stop giving each other the silent treatment?" James couldn't stand the silence anymore
"I wonder why I am." She replied sarcastically.
"You still on about your diary?!"
"Well, I didn't hear you apologizing, did I?"
"Me? Apologizing? For what?"
"For reading MY diary!"
"I didn't read anything!"
"I saw you with my very own eyes!"
"Fine. Whatever! Your problem not mine!" James yelled.
After that the two ignored each other even more. Well, try to kill each other, more likely. First James 'accidentally' set her hair on fire. He then commented coolly on how it already looks like fire.
Lily took revenge. She was not going to let Potter get away with anything. She 'accidentally' turned James' face into a crow.
"Ooh sorry." She said, not sounding sorry at all.
"I was aiming for something else. Oh no! How are you going to be able to snog a girl with that beak of yours?" Lily was trying very hard not to laugh.
James eventually had his face turned back. Otherwise he would've squawked all day- just to piss Lily off. Their fight did not end so quickly, there were plenty to come.
"Furnunculus!"
"Mobilicorpus!" (Can't think of any good hexes, sorry.)
They shouted at the same time. The spell bounced off in different directions. It smashed a glass bottle and knocked several chairs down.
"What's going on?" Professor McGonagall's demanded.
They turned around guiltily to face the angry Transfiguration teacher.
"It was Potter!"
"It was Evans!"
They pointed at each other in defense.
"I am very ashamed of you two. I would have thought the Head Students would have better discipline than that. Detention both of you on Saturday, understood?"
"Yes, Professor McGonagall." They mumbled meekly.
*****
"What's wrong Lily?" Rachel asked.
"I have a detention with stupid Potter!" Lily moaned.
"He's such an idiot, I totally agree with you!"
"You do?"
"Yeah."
"How come?"
"Um- oh never mind, we've got loads of homework to do." Rachel shifted uncomfortably.
"Well, okay." Lily secretly wondered what the reason was.
Yeah the end! Hope you like it. Review PLEASE! * Begs for mercy. * Argh I have exams coming up. Does anyone know how to do italics? REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW!
