We walked into the hospital wing to find both boys being discharged.

Severus stormed past us all.

'Severus wait up!' I said running after him.

I grabbed him on the shoulder.

He turned. His nose was quite crooked and bent front Sirius.

'Look what your boyfriend did.' He said.

'He isn't my boyfriend.'

'He seems to think so.'

'Thank you for the flowers.' I said

'No trouble.'

And he left..

I walked back into the hospital wing. Sirius was chatting up the young nurse.

I coughed loudly. He didn't listen.

'You know Remus, I am so horny.' I said loudly, and Sirius head turned so quickly he yelped in pain.

Remus sniggered.

'I think she tricked ya there, mate.' Remus said.

I was giggling into my hand.

'Ouch.' He said loudly, glaring at me.

'Does it throb?'

He nodded, with a sad face on.

I kissed his neck.

'Wow, I feel wonderful now!' He said lifting his neck up, cracking it back and walking in front of us.

'He got me there then, didn't he?' I asked Remus, and he nodded.

'You are going with him.. aren't you?' Remus said.

'I don't think I want to.' I said stubbornly.

'Why not?'

'Why?'

'Isn't it obvious? He was chatting up the nurse to get you jealous.'

'Well it didn't..'

'It did.'

'Oh Alright it did. Big Deal.'

'Sirius!' Remus shouted and Sirius turned.

'Yeah?'

'Hope would like to say something.'

I sighed and walked up to Sirius.

'Here is my response to the ball.' I said before wrapping my arms around his neck and kissing him on the lips.

'Oh, too late sorry.' He said, I could tell he wasn't happy about it.

'Oh that's ok then.' I said.

'Yeah, I was asked by Jennifer.'

'Cool, she is very pretty. Have a nice life.' I said walking past him, towards my dorm.

'Wait up!' Remus said, catching up to me.

'Waiting.' I said.

'He does want you to go with him.'

'It sure looks like it!' I burst out. All the first years looked at me.

'Oh, do you think I am not worthy of him either do you?!' I said to them and ran up the stairs.

I overheard a little first year tell Remus, that if he wanted to ask a girl to the ball, he should be polite, not ask in front of the common room. Then Remus was trying to tell everyone he wasn't asking me. I had a chuckle.

I opened the door to find Lily and my owl at the desk.

'Well.' She said.

'Mm?' I said.

'I am going with James.' She said.

'Very good very good!' I said falling onto my bed, and taking a bite of my doona.

'I need a dress, will you come to Hogsmeade with me, no, you're going with Sirius this weekend..' She said sighing.

'Nah, it's cancelled, I need a dress anyway.'

'Oooh, Did he ask you?'

'No, I am doing the asking..'

'But.. Sirius isn't the kind for that.'

'Who says I was asking him?!' I said biting off her head.

'Sorry.. I just thought things were going well.'

'If you call being asked then when I accept he tells me it is too late going well' I said.

'Ask Remus..'

'He wouldn't go, besides he now has a date.'

'Who will you go with?'

'Severus maybe?'

'You are being serious right?'

'I do not want to hear even the slightest relevance to the name ending with Black.' I said.

'I heard Severus has a date.' Lily said glumly.

'Ooh Really? Who?'

'Kiara, that Blonde Slytherin.'

'She's .. nice.'

I said straining my eyes, saying nice.

'I agree.' Lily giggled.

'Well I will be the lonesome one.. There may just be a last resort.. But what I will do is wait by the door alone, like I expect him.'

'Sounds great.'
