A/N: CONGRATS TO MY FRIEND VICKI FOR WINNING HER PAGEANT AND BECOMING "MISS EASTER."

Chapter 20: Good Boys

"Next week is Valentine's Day," Sirius whispered in Hermione's ear.

"And your point is…" Hermione stared up at him.

"Well I was just wondering what you would like to do."

"First I would like you to sit down so I don't have to crane my neck to look up at you." Sirius took a seat next to her and pulled her into his arms. "And second, I don't care what we do just as long as I am with you."

"That sounds like a plan. Leave all the details to me. I have the perfect idea forming in my head."

The mischievous smile on his face worried Hermione but she smiled at him anyways. He was so cute looking like a little boy who just pulled his first prank. She kissed him and knew that right then, at that very moment, she loved him more than anyone.

"A knut for your thoughts," he murmured against her lips.

She slowly shook her head. "Save your knut till Valentine's Day. I'll tell you what I'm thinking then."

"But I want to know now," he whined while rubbing her back.

"Nope, not until Valentine's Day. It's going to be your present."

Instantly Sirius' face lit up. "My present?"

"Yes, your present. If you're a good boy until then that is."

"Oh I promise I will be," Sirius said, kissing her and hugging her tight against him.

"Promise you'll be what?" James asked curiously, walking into the room.

"A good boy," Sirius said smiling at his best friend, "to get my present."

"Present?" James asked interestingly. "Do I get one too if I'm a good boy?"

"Maybe," Lily said as she entered, kissing James on the cheek.

Both boys grinned at the prospect of receiving presents. Boys will be boys, both girls thought.

But Sirius' grin disappeared when a thought entered his head. "Just 'how good' are we talking here?"

"Yeah," James pined in, "just how good do you expect us to be?"

Both girls looked at each other in thought. In silent agreement, they nodded their heads.

"Not totally good, but better than you are now," Lily said.

"We are willing to be a little lenient with you," Hermione smiled. "You both are allowed three pranks and three detentions."

"THREE!" both boys shouted in disbelief.

"But Hermione," Sirius pleaded, "it's a whole week before Valentine's Day."

"Yeah, that's seven whole days," James added.

"Aren't we the little mathematician," Lily said, pinching his cheek lovingly.

"Three pranks and three detentions," Hermione said decisively. "That is our final decision."

"They better be good presents," Sirius pouted, crossing his arms and sticking out his lower lip like a two year old.

"You look so cute when you pout," Hermione joked, lightly kissing him. Sirius instantly cheered up and pulled Hermione onto his lap.

"And you look so cute everyday," Sirius said as he nuzzled her neck.

"Thank you but that isn't going to get you any extra pranks or detentions. Lily and I have some things to do so we must say goodbye. Remember you two, three pranks and three detentions."

Sirius and James watched the girls leave. Then they just sat there in thought. After a little bit, Sirius turned towards James.

"You know Prongs, I was thinking…"

"Me too Padfoot."

"If we only have three pranks and three detentions…"

"Then we better make them where no one will forget," James said mischievously, rubbing his hands together in anticipation.

"My thoughts exactly," Sirius added and grabbed a piece of parchment and quill. Together the boys put their heads together and shot off ideas.
