DISCLAIMER: Hoky-doky peoples. This isn't my story!!! It belongs to JK Rowling. But it is my plot!!! Ummmmmmmmmmmm……………………………. Sooooooooooooooo, yeah. R&R por favor, and however you say it in many other languages, please. Mucho luv-o to my reviewers.
Oh, and quick note, this chapter makes the story start getting really bad. But please read anyway.
Lily Evans threw open the door that led to the room she shared with Leah, her best friend.
"Oh my God, Leah! You turned down that Sirius boy (a/n: no pun intended, lol)? You're practically famous!"
Leah just stared at the celing.
"Hello! Leah Riccardi! I'm talking to you!"
When Leah didn't answer, Lily walked over to her bed, grabbed a pillow, and socked Leah hard in the stomach with it.
"OW! Lily, that hurt!" Leah grabbed a pillow from her bed and heaved it at Lily, narrowly missing. Lily landed another hit on Leah's head.
"This means war, Evans."
Lily stopped swinging. Fatal mistake.
"That was my head, Riccardi! Anyway, apparently, Sirius Black is determined to go out with you."
"And he is destined to fail like Potter and you." Leah swung again and missed. "the only one of those four I would dream of dating is Remus Lupin."
"Oh, really?"
"Lily, no!" But it was too late. Lily threw down her pillow and dashed out of the room, Leah hot on her tail (a/n: if she had one… GAH!! Now my sayings are against me!!).
"Lupin!" Lily shouted across the room, grabbing the boy's attention.
"Hello, ladies." He said, smiling warmly. "How can I help you?"
"I'll tell you in a second, hold on." Lily turned to Leah. " Silencio. There. Anyway," she turned back. " Leah asked me to apologize to Sirius about turning him down." She glanced at Leah. "She also told me…" Here she leaned forward and whispered into his ear. Leah, silenced by Lily, tried desperately to shut her up. Finally Lily straightened, grinning, and Remus looked politely puzzled.
"Sh-she likes me?" He said quietly, blushing. Lily nodded. "Leah, I don't know what to say."
Leah began talking really fast. Well, she moved her mouth a lot, at least. She was still under Lily's silencing charm.
"I mean, it must be hard to listen to your sister all the time."
Leah stopped moving her mouth. Lily removed the charm.
"What do you mean my sister? I don't have a sister…" Leah grinned evily. "Unless you count Lily…"
Before Lily could respond, however, Lupin (realizing the trouble Lily had started and choosing to play along) turned to her.
"Lily, I couldn't like you like that." he said. "But I bet James could. Oh, and Leah? Sirius is determined to get you to go out with him."
"I'll tell him what I told Lily. I would only go out with him if she goes out with Potter. And that's not happening."
" So you're going to tell him that, are you?" he asked smiling. (Lily, being left out of the conversation, stomped over to an arm chair by the fire and plopped down in it.)
"Yes. Unless you would like to tell him for me…" she added hopefully.
"Write a note and I'll give it to him."
"Ok, and thanks in advance." She ran up to her room, grabbed a quill and parchment, and ran back down the stairs slamming into, guess who, yup, Sirius at the bottom.
"Why hello, Leah. You're just the person I wanted to talk to."
"Then maybe I should've stayed upstairs." She remarked. A few people nearby stifled their laughter.
"Now Leah, that's not nice-"
"Have I ever been nice Black?"
"To Lupin, not me." He said. " How can you be nice to Lupin and not me?" He gave her a look that would've melted the hardest of gems, but apparently Leah was made of 2in thick reinforced steel.
"Remus happens to be a lot less conceited than you are, not to mention a whole lot nicer!"
"How've I ever been mean to you?" he asked.
"Not to me, but to others. You dump the girls you date in less than 2 days, if they're lucky." Here she turned away but he spun her back around.
"I do not!" he protested.
"You're right. It's shorter!" She began walking away with Sirius following.
"But, if you dated me, I wouldn't do that. I really do care about you."
"You, Sirius, are completely incapable of caring about anyone but yourself. I would only go out with you if Lily and Potter went out and that is not happening, so leave me alone!"
With that, Leah stormed out of the common room, leaving Sirius standing stunned behind her.
