A Sirius Matter- New Term, New Love (chapter 9)

Sirius Black, Lily Evans, Remus Lupin, Ally McLennan, James Potter and Madison Smith all woke up early to board the train to Hogwarts once again. They would be starting their last term of their 5th year.

"Sure is sad to be leaving." Lily said.

"Well at least you have a bloody family to go home to. One who loves you at that." Sirius complained.

"Padfoot," James said, "You can always stay at my house."

Sirius faked a tear, "You really mean it?"

James shoved his shoulder.

"Snape." James mother said. "What a greasy-" Mrs. Potter finally realized what she said. "Now, none of you get expelled." She said.

"I'll try!" Madison replied and gave her a hug. Mrs. Potter gave her a smile, and then looked at Sirius and Madison blushed.

"Nope, not this year." James said, also hugging his mom.

"It'll be hard, but I won't." Remus said, giving her a kiss on the cheek, and then a hug. (aw.)

"Don't worry, I'll keep them in check." Lily heard a snort. "Or I can at least try." She also gave her a hug, while Mrs. Potter whispered, "Take good care of James you hear?"

"If I get expelled, I'll be stuck with my family. What fun is that?" Sirius asked, giving Mrs. Potter a hug and a kiss on the cheek. She whispered to him, "Make sure James stays sane, you understand? That Lily Evans is perfect for him, hate to see him loose her."

"Don't worry, I've got it all under control." He gave her a wink, and they all left.

"Food!" Sirius yelled as the trolly came by. He dashed out of the compartment.

"I better make sure he gets me some Frogs." Madison smiled and walked out, following Sirius.

James was fast asleep next to Lily. Lily gave a little yawn.

Remus and Ally smiled, proud of their handywork. That morning at brakefast, they both slipped something into their juice, a sleeping potion.

Lily's eyes began to close, and next thing you know, she was asleep, in James arms.

Sirius and Madison walked in, with no food. They saw Lily and James and laughed. Sirius sat down, and Madison curled up next to him, and soon they were all asleep.

"Food!" Sirius yelled sitting down at the Great Hall. Remus rolled his eyes and sat down across from Sirius. Soon, there was no room left for Lily.

Madison gave a silent laugh, and started to eat. "I'm going to sit down there." Lily pointed next to some of her other friends.

"NO you won't!" James protested.

"Just share a chair with me. I don't have a big arse." Ally said.

"Sure about that?" Madison asked, and recived a kick from under the table.

"I rather sit on James lap than with you." Lily joked.

"Why not?" Sirius smiled.

Lily sat down in James lap and started to eat.

"What are you doing?" Sirius asked James.

"Taking a cold shower." James replied.

"I have summoned you all here for a cause." Sirius said to the Griffendor house, well everyone except Lily and James. "Our Lily Evans and James Potter." Sirius heard a few whistles. "are perfect, everyone knows it." People nooded their heads in response. "And you all will be a part of MATCHMAKING!" he yelled. Everyone cheered."Alright, Alright, settle down. Now, the leaders of this project are..."

"MADISON SMITH!" All the guys whistled and cheered. "Back off, she's mine" Everyone laughed.

"REMUS LUPIN!" Everyone cheered.

"ALLY MCLENNAN!" Everyoen cheered as well.

"Now! The name of the game is, 'Operation Jellyfish." Everyone stared at Sirius blankly.

"Just cheer." Madison said. Everyone cheered.

"Where is Lily and James anyways?" Remus asked.

Outside by the lake, Lily and James sat where they once sat before.

"I can't believe it." Lily said. "The whole Christmas, Madison was stuck in a rut." She laughed.

"I know. Poor Sirius. He had s hissy fit when he left dinner." James said amused.

"But it all worked out." Lily said. "Thank heavens. That would be so funny, if our friends were trying to put us together." James laughed at the thought.

Back in the common room, Madison took out a white board and began to write.

"Now, Jason." She said to a third year. "I want you to start the fire over here." Madison made an "X" where she wanted him.

"But they wouldn't. We would never fall for it." James said.

Lily laughed. "If they did, you would know who planned it all."

"Sirius." They said at the same time.

"Hey Lils?" James asked.

"Yes?" Lily blushed at the thought of James calling her 'Lils'.

"Did you ever get an owl from your parents at all?" He asked.

"No, in fact, I haven't heard from them. Oh well, nothing new." Lily shrugged it off.

"This is going to take a while. This cannot be rushed! Everyone remember what they are going to do?" Everyone nooded.

"Great. NOW GO AWAY!" Sirius yelled. Everyone laughed and went upsatairs.

"I hope this works." Ally said.

"Me too." Remus replied. "Me too."

Lily Evans sat in a fluffy chair in the common room, reading. As on cue, Jason lit a match and dropped it by Lily. Lily smelt something. She turned around and sae a fire behind her. It soon spread around her. James came downm the stairs, and dashed over to Lily.

A few minutes later Lily was standing beside James, who put the fire out ans saved her. Lily gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek.

Over in the corner, Madison, Sirius, Ally and Remus stood.

Sirius examened the box from Zonko's and read the lable. Perfect for starting small fires to scare everyone. You may walk through the flames, and not get hurt. Real effects take place, such as smoke, heat and color. Lasts up to 10 minutes. 30 matches in a box.
