A Sirius Matter- Questions
"So James. Always got to play the hero?" Sirius asked that night.
"Very funny Padfoot." James said. "Where are you going?" He asked.
"Out." Sirius said, checking his hair in the mirror.
"I knew that, I mean why?" James asked.
"I can't go out anywhere?" Sirius asked.
"Madison." James said knowingly.
Sirius smiled at the thought of Madison's face. "Yeah."
"Padfoot? Padfoot?" James said trying to get his attention. Sirius had this goofy smile on his face.
"Sorry. She's just-" Sirius couldn't finish.
James patted his friend on the back. "Just don't get tongue tied again." James laughed.
Sirius jumped on his bed and stared up at the ceiling. "She's just perfect. She's funny, smart, she loves me for me. Not for the school heart throb. What did I ever do to deserve her?" Sirius asked.
"I don't know." James said, saddening a little. He wished for Lily to love him like that.
"Well- I must be off. Going to Hogsmead for dinner." Sirius smiled and walked out of the room, feeling as nervous as ever.
"PADFOOT!" James yelled. Sirius turned around. "Good luck." He said.
BACK IN LILY'S DORM:
"Why are you all dressed up?" Lily asked Madison, who was emerging from the bathroom. She had a white knee length skirt, ruffled at the bottom, a pink spaghetti strap and a jean jacket. Her shoes were satrapy sandals which were pink also.
"Going out." She said simply standing in front of the mirror.
"I knew that I mean why?" Madison only smiled in response. "Sirius."
"Yeah."
"Mad? Madison?" Lily said, trying to snap Madison back to life.
"Sorry, it's just that-" Madison sat down in the chair. "He's so special. When I'm around him, I feel so different yet the same. And anytime he walks into a room, I think I'm going to die. I don't know what I did to deserve him."
"Yeah. Just don't jump to conclusions. Remember what happened last time?" She said.
Madison laughed. "Well, I must be off." Madison took one last look in the mirror, and tears formed.
"What's a matter?" Lily asked.
"I know that it's only 5th year and all, well almost out 6th. But, Sirius is just so perfect. I mean, he's the one, I know it. I don't think it's too early. I mean, we can be engaged for a year. And it will take a year or so to plan the whole thing. That was when we get out of school and get married, so when he and James are Arours.. I'm blabbing. But what I'm saying is that I think this is it..." Madison said.
"Do you mean?" Lily asked.
"I think." Madison smiled. "He's taking me to Hogsmead." She explained. "Now I am late, bye." She said standing up and walking out the door.
"Good luck!" Lily yelled.
Madison walked down the stairs and saw Sirius and immediately smiled. He was wearing a tux. Madison reached the bottom of the stairs and Sirius embraced her in a hug.
"Hey." She said.
"Ready?" Sirius asked. Madison took his arm and they were off.
Lily and James sat in the common room that night. Ally and Remus were off snogging in some broom closet.
"Is Sirius going to propose?" Lily asked.
James smiled. "I hope he doesn't get tongue tied." James said.
Lily jumped up and down. "YES!"
Lily sat down next to James and tucked her feet under her. "Don't tell me you are tired already." James said.
"I had a long day." Lily said.
"You can't go now. I'll be all alone!" James complained. Lily laughed.
"Okay, okay fine. I'll stay. But I'm lying down." Lily said. James opened his arms as an invitation for Lily to cuddle with him. Lily agreed and James put his arm around her.
"Lily?" James asked.
"Yeah?" She said.
"Will you… Will you go out with me?" James asked.
"Yes." She said.
"Yes?" James asked, making sure he believed what he had heard.
"I've been waiting for you to ask." Lily said, and kissed him on the lips.
Sirius had his hand in his pocket, nervous as ever. He felt sick.
"Sirius? Are you okay? You look pale." She said worried.
Sirius swallowed. "Uh can I ask you something?" Sirius said.
Madison smiled. "Anything." She said.
