Chapter 4- Girls night out...or not.

'Invite him in this time ok. Give him a butterbeer or firewhiskey or something.' Said Lily

It was Friday night and Brice was taking Gabby out on another date. Gabby was decked out in Black knee-high boots, a red mini dress and a black leather jacket. Her hair was up in curls and she wore a silver locket that Brice had given her with a matching charm bracelet. She borrowed the boots from Sasha and the jacket from Anna.

'You look gorgeous girl.' Said Sasha gushing.

'You sure do.' Nodded Anna.

Both their faces fell. 'I am also so jealous.' Said Sasha.

'Why?'

'We are very pathetic sitting here on a Friday night with no plans. Not one guy found us interesting enough to take us out on even a charitable date.' Said Anna.

'I don't agree that we're pathetic but we're not far from it.' Said Sasha.

'That's why I am giving up on men.'

'I hear you Anne, I really do.' Said Lily shaking her head.

Just then there was a knock on the door and Gabby went to answer the door. It was Brice. As she invited him in they offered in something to eat but he declined however he did accept a beer. Since he was half blood he knew what a beer was. Brice was 6'4" and Tanned. His smooth slightly waved dark hair gently fell on his smiling face showing out the light blue colour in his eyes.

'Hey girls, nice to see you again.'

'Same with you Brice.' They said.

After a few minutes they left. 'What do you say we go out to dinner?' asked Lily.

'I'm up for it.' Said Sasha.

'Me too.' Said Anne.

They got dressed with Lily wearing blue low rider jeans with a red tank top and a black suede jacket and boots.

Anna was wearing tanned Capri pants a white shirt, brown boots and a light brown suede jacket.

Sasha was wearing black low rider jeans with a white tank top and her leather jacket and white boots.

They went outside and walked to the near by Italian restaurant. After eating they didn't feel much like going to a nightclub so they went for a walk. The place was bright because of the streetlights and they walked to a swings set and sat down to talk.

'This is nice.' Remarked Anna.

'Yeah it isn't it. After all our past relationships we deserve to be single a little and live life.'

'I totally agree with you Lil but still it would hurt to have a date.' Said Sasha. Lily laughed, 'yeah I guess you're right. But I'd still like to kill Adam. He is so stupid and I thank the good lord everyday that I ended it when I did.'

They talked for a few more minutes until Lily notice a dog walking up to them. She didn't tell the two girls that the dog looked familiar because they might laugh but mainly because she suspected that there was an animagus in their mist. She wondered how much he had heard. As the big, black, shaggy dog came the other two girls gushed.

'Aw he is so cute. All he need is some grooming.' Said Anna.

The dog came in and sat in the middle of Lily and Sasha from where they sat on the swing. Sasha twisted and scratched behind his ear.

'Look he likes that. And he's clean I bet he belongs to some one.'

'Oh I bet he likes that.' Said Lily muttering under her breath when the dog twisted its neck for Sash to scratch further.

Lilt thought back to her time at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and how they all had some of the best times of their lives. They—James, Sirius, Peter and Lily— were animagus.

Lily had had special reason for her transformation but the boys had other—but important—reason for theirs as well.

'What did you say Lil?'

'Oh nothing just wondering what his name could be.'

Just then when Sasha and Anna were commenting on something she bent down and whispered 'Sirius I know it's you.'

Then dog looked up and practically grinned at her.

'Look Lil, I think he is smiling at you. He probably likes you.' Said Anne who was looking at him.

'Go and transform back we'll be right here and you better have a good excuse.' Whispered Lily to the dog.

'Lily what in the world are you telling that dog?'

'I was trying to get him to roll over but he doesn't seem to be trained as you might think.' She said smirking a little. The dog gave a playful bark then ran away. Making it clear to Lily that it was indeed Sirius. A few seconds later ...

'Hi there, Ladies what are you doing here all by yourself.'

The two girls turned around surprised.

'Sirius?'

'Well – '

Lily smirked, 'what are you doing here? Walking your dog?'

Just then James and Remus joined them.

'You guys are out late.' Commented Anna.

'Well we could say the same for you, you know.' Replied Remus.

'Yeah well we like night time strolls.' Said Sasha.

'Seriously,' said Remus, 'don't you girls have dates or something?'

'Why? Should we?' asked Anna.

'Well I was just saying...'

'Remus my good man leave them alone.' Said Sirius.

'No Sirius its ok. We don't mind. We're having a girls night out and we've decided that we have given up on men.' Said Lily.

'Really?'

'Yeah.'

'But I thought you we're engaged.' Said James raising an eyebrow.

'I tried to tell you but you didn't listen so I didn't bother. Adam and I were going to get married but I realized what ass he was.' Said Lily.

'Thank goodness.' Said Sasha, 'I know none of them could stand him and I saw him once afterwards and he was so smug about getting Lily back it wasn't even funny.'

'No need to go overboard Sash.' Said Anna. 'I mean he had some good credits like being awfully cute, charming and buying the friends of his girl stuff.'

'Hey ex girl.' Said Lily.

'Not to mention that his charm was getting way to annoying and I only saw him for five minutes. Okay for a day but that only reinforces my point.' Sasha conceded.

Sirius was thoughtful for a few more seconds and then said, 'hey why don't we all go for a little walk, past the botanical gardens.'

The girls looked at each other and nodded. They had nothing better to do so a walk wouldn't hurt.

As they walked down the street they unconsciously separated into couples. Walking at the front was Anna and Remus. In the middle were Sasha and Sirius. At the back was lily and James.

'So what have you been doing since we met all those years ago at Lily's?' asked Remus.

'Well,' replied Anna, 'I went to school with Gabby and Sasha in Canada then when we finished school Lily, Gabby and I went to work with Winter and Cindy for a while but we all got jobs at the ministry and after a couple of months we signed on as aurors in training. We've been there ever since but not as field agents but I went into forensic analysis and she went into Auror counselling.'

'So Sasha what made you give up on men.'

'Well I mean there are really nice guys around I guess but my last boyfriend was a first class jerk, I don't ever want to go through that again.'

The finality in her tone made Sirius want to ask her what she had meant by that but he could see she was getting testy.

'I knew it was Sirius from the minute he came close.' Said Lily trying to make conversation.

'Yeah well the guys thought it was you and you know Sirius, he wanted to go and make sure. So he transformed and went to see. I would have gone but, um I don't think the girls would react to kindly to seeing a stag in the park.'

She laughed. 'Yeah I guess you're right.'

With that the ice began to thaw and he was starting to behave like his old self. Cracking jokes and laughing with the others. They walked for a little while longer and then went into a bar where they occupied a booth and told stories of the last couple of years. It was around 11:00 pm when the bar door swung open and in walked in Adam and a guy that only Sasha recognized. The two guys didn't notice them and that was they way Sasha and Lily wanted it. As James and Sirius were at the ends of the table it was kind of easy for the two girls to hide behind them—their legs that is.

'What's wrong with you girls?' asked Sirius dumfounded.

James answered for Lily, 'the guy on the right is Adam, Lily's ex, but I don't know the other guy.'

'I do.' Said Sasha.

'You do?' asked all of them puzzled.

'Yeah, that's err Josh, he is or rather was my boyfriend.'

'Him?' asked Sirius jerking his thumb in the guys' direction.

'Yeah but what the hell is he doing here?'

'Oh Sash they are turning.' Said Lily.

Both girls who were clutching the backs of James and Sirius now ducked under the table and just in time too.

Adam and Josh sauntered up to the booth. Adam raised his eyebrow and said, 'hello Anna, Potter and friends.'

James gritted his teeth. His smug attitude was wearing on his nerves.

But it was Anna who spoke, 'what do you want Adam? For your information they have names, this is Remus Lupin and Sirius Black.' she said getting straight to the point.

He gave a twisted smile, 'this is Josh he is looking for someone. You may know her. She moved here a couple of months ago. Oh that's right you went to school with her.' He said sarcastically.

'What about her?' Sirius asked hotly.

'You know her huh? Well if you see her tell her I am looking for her will you.' Said Josh who finally decided to speak.

'Why should I? You don't look so important or someone that she would want to be seen with.' Said Sirius.

'Look Black I don't want your input. You don't know her, I do so back off. Anna just give her the message ok?'

Sirius made to get up but felt pressure on his leg where Sasha was clutching.

And Adam added, 'Tell Lily we need to work out some details too.'

After that they collected their order from the bar and left. When Sasha and Lily was sure they were gone they came up and sat back down.

'What is with those guys?' said Remus.

'It's a long story but Josh and I didn't part on good terms.' Said Sasha sighing.

'As you all know I was engaged to that... that... oh I don't know what he is but after I threw the ring at him and walked out I didn't expect to see him again but he keeps showing up when I least expect it.' Said Lily shaking her head.

'Guys I hate to tell you this but you both have bad taste in men.' Said Anna.

'You know you're rubbing it in right?' asked Sasha.

'I know but I couldn't help myself.'

'Now you see why we've decided that men are the enemy.'

Sirius, Remus and James started laughing heartily.

Both girls frowned and folded their arms obviously miffed that the boys were taking this so lightly.

'Its nothing to laugh about.' Said Anna. 'I mean I love to give them a hard time but its true guys have proven time and again that they oblivious to girls and their feelings.'

'Not all guys are like that though.'

'I know that, but that's not the point.' Said Anna.

'The point is,' said Remus ' that you girls haven't met the right guys yet.'

All three sighed in frustration. ' We know that but there aren't any and we don't want them.'

'Give it rest Moony they have their minds set.' Said Sirius.

With that the subject was dropped and 'Oh my god, look at the time.' Exclaimed Lily. It was 1:30am.

'Lily calm down its not that late.'

'Sirius I am calm and I know its not that late but I promised Petunia I'd meet with her in the morning. We were going to discuss arrangements for my parents' memorial service.'

'Memorial service? What are you talking about Lily?' asked James.

'Oh that's right you guys don't know my parents died almost two years ago in a car crash. I was in it too, but I survived and well Petunia didn't take to well to me being the sole survivor but she has shown some forgiveness.' She said sadly.

'Gosh Lil we are so sorry.' Said Remus. They boys had spent sometime with Lily's parents long ago, with her father mostly.

They all had gone to a cricket game.

She smiled, 'well you're welcome to come to the memorial service?'

'Sure.'

After saying their goodbyes, the boys continued sitting there in deep thought.

'I recognize those looks what are you two thinking about?' asked Remus.

'What makes you think we were thinking of anything?'

'Just a feeling.' But meanwhile each of them was thinking. Including Remus. Every one of them was thinking the same thing only each having a different perspective on things.

'Well I am not.' Said Sirius.

'Me too.' Said James

'I wasn't thinking.' Said Remus.

'We never said you were.' Said Sirius.

'Oh.'

'But you are?' asked James

'No I'm not.'

'Ok then.'
