I don't own anything, just the upcoming plot...
"Stupid cow, how dear she do this to me?" a tall boy grumbled as he walked down the corridor, "doesn't she know who I am?"
Sirius black, a very handsome seventh year had just been turned down and was now walking down to the famous great hall of Hogwarts.
"She should be grateful for me even asking her but noooo, she just had to turn me down didn't she?" Sirius screwed up his face and said with a voice that could rival a banshee, "You just like my pretty face Sirius; you don't have any real feelings for me, bloody hell, I asked her to go to the dance with me nicely what more does she need?"
"Who needs what?" A brown eyed boy beside his asked.
"That stup…wait when did you come?" said Sirius when he and the other boy joined the other students hurrying in to the great hall for a good lunch.
"Oh, I have been walking with you a long time old friend, you just didn't see me 'cos you were too busy grumbling about some girl"
"What?" Said Sirius, staring at the boy with a horrified expression, "James, this wasn't any girl this was Miranda Hopkins! The schools hottest girl!"
"Maria Harkins"
"Yea- what?"
"Her name is Maria not Miranda and it's Harkins not Hopkins"
"Yeah whatever" Sirius muttered and entered the great hall.
The four long tables were now filling up with students under the clear blue ceiling and James and Sirius made their way to the Gryffindor table where a sandy haired boy with light brown eyes and a chubby blond boy sat.
Smiling, Sirius sat down beside the blonde boy and began piling food on his plate.
"Hey Sirius, what is this I hear about you being turned down?" Remus, the sandy haired boy across the table asked with a teasing smile, "something about feelings huh?"
"Yeah, she didn't like my romantic side," said Sirius making James, Remus and the blonde boy whose name was Peter laugh out loudly.
"Since when did you have a romantic side black?" snorted James when he and the other boys finally regained their breaths.
"What?" said Sirius faking hurt, "I'm not allowed to have feelings and a weak spot for red roses?" sending the boys in to another fit of laugher.
"Well anyway, who are you going to the ball with now that Maria turned you down?" asked peter, wiping away any happy feelings existing.
"Well done, peter," muttered James who sat beside peter giving his best friend a worried look as his face went from red to white.
"I…I'm not…I don't know" Sirius finally managed to say staring angrily on his soup as if it was the tomato soups fault that he didn't have a date.
"You know, I have an idea," James said, leaning over the table and spoke again with a quiet voice "you know they say that that room of requirement can give you the thing you need most right?"
"Right" Sirius and the two other boys answered, now curios what James has come up with.
"Well, lets say that Sirius really, and now I mean really needs a date to the Yule ball, wouldn't room of requirement bee able to like, create one for him?"
A long silence followed James suggestion.
"Bloody hell" muttered Remus staring at James with big eyes.
"You can say that again" peter said breathlessly.
"Well are you up for it mate?" James asked smiling at Sirius who wore the same expression as Remus "I mean, I'm not sure it will work but it's worth a try right?"
Half an hour later Sirius walked thru the portrait guarding the Gryffindor common room only to find Remus and peter waiting for him in the best seats by the fire.
"It worked?" Peter asked, as Sirius sank into the armchair next to Remus's.
Sirius didn't answer. He was still pondering the details of James plan.
Half of him wanted to run to the room of requirement and see if there was a beautiful girl waiting for him, but the other half wanted to forget the whole idea.
'I can't do it, there will bee to many complications, what if I come to the ball with a girl no one will recognise, won't that be a little suspicious?' Sirius frowned and ignored his friend's worried glances.
'But I can't go to the ball alone! I mean, it's me we are talking about; I'm the biggest playboy in the whole school!'
"Oi! Padfoot, are you all right?" Remus asked peering at him over the potions book he was reading.
Sighting Sirius looked at Remus, "I didn't go to the room of requirement, I think I will wait a while and then maybe if I don't get a decent date, and only maybe then I will go there"
"Smart chose mate" Remus said smiling, "and now if you please, remove Lily and James from our dorm so we finally can change from our robes"
"Remo – Oh for merlins sake, don't tell me they are up there again?"
"Yes they are, ya know sometimes I think it was better when Lily hated James" Laughing at Remus comment on the couple Sirius made his way up to the seventh year boys dorm, still chucking he lifted his hand just to knock as the door opened.
In front of his stood now a blinking redhead with a surprised expression on her face.
"Oh, ehm…Sirius, I was just, ehm, yeah…" the girl blushed furiously and ran fast down the stairs as Sirius moved away from the doorframe.
"Padfoot mate! What are you doing up here?" James said lightly but it was obvious that he was nervous 'cos he kept shifting his weight from one foot to the other and running his hand thru his dark brown hair "You, ehm…you came to tell me if it worked?"
"No James I was not coming up here to tell you the fact that I wont try going to the room of requirement if it's not necessary. I came up here to tell you that neither Moony or wormtail want you and Lily to shag in our dorm"
"But I'm a man! I have my needs and – Wait…what you mean with I won't try going to the room of requirement if it's not necessary? Padfoot don't you understand, it is necessary!"
"Jamie, its still six days 'till the ball, and I know I can get a date until then."
"No you can't cos every 'good' girl is taken!" James half shouted half cried as he sized Sirius shoulders and shook him "You can't go to the ball single! You can't!"
"For merlins sake calm down prongs! Jeesh, you're getting more worked up about this then me, and seriously James, when that happens, its not good" said Sirius.
"Yeah, yeah I know, but promise me you won't go to the ball alone right? 'Cos if you do it will be the end of the maradour honour!" pleaded James "why don't you just go to the room of requirement and find out if you can create a girl or not? I mean then you can relax knowing you have an last minute option"
Sighting Sirius only nodded and gave James a pat on the back before he fell down on his four-poster bed.
'Last minute option? Yeah, that sounds like a good idea, 'cos James is right, I can't go to the ball alone and if I do…well then I'm never gonna hear the end of it…' Closing his eyes Sirius once again started to ponder the fact that he didn't have a date to the ball and when the other boys finally had gone to bed he had his decision made, tomorrow he was going to the room of requirement.
"Nooo! Don't let them get me! Please, I don't wanna dance tango with snivellus!" muttering hexes under his breath Sirius groggily opened his eyes to glare over at James who had woken him up every morning the past six years with nightmares or other perverted dreams.
James had a habit, that he very much denied, to talk in his sleep and reveal his most guarded secrets and feelings, some times Sirius or Remus were forced to cast a silencing spell on his bed to get a good nights sleep.
"He's been going on like that for fifteen minutes," said Remus who was standing in front of a mirror fixing his red and gold school tie, "It's really a miracle that you been able to sleep thru it all, even Peter woke up and left for dinner."
"Yeah, well peter always wake up early when he know its cheese to breakfast" answered Sirius and heaved himself from the bed.
"How did he know that?" Remus asked as he tied his shoes, "I mean I'm the one with a super nose."
"We went to the kitchen to put a potion in the Slytherins soup and then peter asked when they were gonna get us cheese for break fast again"
"It wasn't me Lily I swear! They made me dance, I didn't mean it!" James suddenly shouted making both Remus and Sirius jump.
"God, cant we make him mute? Please Remus, only for a week!" Sirius begged as he fixed him self up in front of the mirror Remus had occupied a moment ago.
"We did that last year remember?" Remus smiled and picked up his book bag.
"Yeah and do you remember how nice and quiet it was?"
"I do, but I really need to get going, prefect meeting in five minutes"
"What? You're leaving me to wake up this snoring wannabe troll?" Sirius asked annoyed, why did he always get the task to wake James up?
"Yes I am, so be a nice boy and get him ready for another day of fabulous learning, wonderful books and best of all, more chances to prank the Slytherins!" Laughed Remus as he closed the door leaving Sirius and a still sleeping James alone in the dorm.
SO what ya think? Maybe its worth a RR?
And whom do you want Hermione to end up with, Sirius, Remus, Lucius Malfoy or someone else? Please RR!
