Disclaimer: Not mine…. But maybe one day….

A/n: Wow. It's been awhile. ^__^ School's been demanding. Between that and creative writing club and tutoring the little kiddies, I don't have too much time. Most of that is spent sewing me and woodelf193's dresses for the LotR premiere. But *dramatic pose* I have finished hers, and it's not a rush to do mine (I was trying to get hers done by Halloween), therefore, I will have more time to write. Good? Good.

Shoutouts:

Sirius-sexy-lady: Well, that stinks. But, the point is, you have fun writing them, right? ^__~

Zeldagrl436: ^__^ I'm glad.

Twilight singer: Cool new sn. I'm glad you liked the last chapter. I hope you'll like this one too, but at this current moment, I have no idea what it's going to be about yet. Should be interesting… Nope. I haven't seen Once Upon A Time in Mexico. I wanted to, but it's rated R. I've seen some pictures from it though. ^__^

Woodelf193: Ok, ok. So, you're still on OW. How was I to know? ^__^ True though, I never really got over Orli. He's hot. *nods* Anyway… yeah… Squish! Hehehehe.

Killer Angel: Thanks! I hope you like this one!

Devil'sBestFriend: Really? That's cool!

Dassa Mudruffin: Hehehehe. I always love getting people hooked…

Mystic blue silver rose: Me too. This is my favorite pairing ^__^!

Terriah: Maybe in a couple of chapters. I've got it all planned, don't fret….

cAnDyNhEaRtS: Yes, I believe we all do. Except for my friend Woodelf193 (she likes Remus better, what's wrong with her? *shakes head*) Ok, I'll try to make him more stuck up. *cackles and stops abruptly* He must be perfect, *nods* yes……

Topaz: Thanks! Yes, I will get to the reason in the sequel, but first I must finish this one! Hehehe. I'm glad you like my style. That's cool. ^__^

HeatherM: Thanks for all the reviews. ^__^

Arella Halo: I'm glad you like. I hope this was soon enough for you! (it wasn't for me… but hey, I've been busy…)

AnniBug: I know exactly what you mean. There should be WAYYYYY more. *nods*

Chapter Seven

Sirius is walking down to the Great Hall, tired after a long night in the Shrieking Shack. I don't know what's going on with me. When I'm around her, I feel .like I can let the guise down. I trust her. I do like her, and I like being around her. But, does she like me the same way? Why wouldn't she? Any other girl would be begging to go out with me, right?  He puts on his handsomely devilish grin and winks at a few fourth years who were trying to catch his eye. They giggle and he walks quicker down to his seat between James and Remus and sits down.

James shakes his head at the still giggling girls. "Women… anyway, Hey. Dumbledore says that he has an announcement to make. Figure it's anything interesting?"

Sirius smirks. "Maybe he's finally cracked."

Remus is reading the Daily Prophet. "Don't be so stupid, Sirius. Or is that too hard for you?"

"Just because you have top marks in everything, Moony, doesn't mean you're smarter than me. I don't see you with a girl."

This amuses Remus. "Don't see you with one either."

"Well, atleast I-"

"Ol' Bumblebee is standing up now."

Dumbledore has that twinkle never absent in his eyes. "May I have your attention? Ah, good. This year, the teachers and I have decided to have a ball on New Year's Eve night. But- there is something extra- over in America, they have a dance called the Sadie Hawkins dance, in which the ladies invite the men." His eyes are on full twinkle mode now. "Sound like fun?" He sits down.

Sirius nods. "Yep, he's finally cracked."

James sighs. "Great…" He looks down at where Lily and Ginny are sitting.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Lily, you better ask James before someone else does…" Ginny taunts, smirking. Sirius are James are trying to listen in, but there is too much commotion going on.

Lily smiles. "I'll ask James the second you ask Sirius."

"Sure you can wait that long? Because that's not happening." She looks at Sirius who is sitting a little way down the table. Their eyes lock for a second, but Ginny looks away quickly.

"Yeah, I'll ask Sirius right after I ask Snape and he says 'yes'." They both laugh. "We have the same problem, Lily."

"What's that?"

"No courage what so ever."

"I agree." They both nod.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

What do I do now? Sirius wonders. She's looking over at that bloody git Snape. What in the- wait- they're laughing. Good. Maybe I just need to turn the charm on with Gin. Worth a try, right? He grins, proud of his new plan, and stands up to go talk to her. Three girls run up to him.

"Will you go with me, please?"

"No! He's going with me!"

"They're both nuts, Sirius. Go with me!"

Sirius smiles, a little awkwardly, but quickly recovers. "Ladies… calm down. You'll have to let me decide. Not that I wouldn't be happy to go with all three of you, but I could hardly say that that would work." Quickly, he says, "I'll get back to you." He looks over at Ginny, who saw the whole thing and is rolling her eyes.

That just blew my chance… if I had one in the first place… He sighs.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

A couple of days later, Sirius is walking down the hall, lost in his thoughts when he runs into someone. He looks down, hoping it's Ginny, because it seems like she's been avoiding him since the announcement. Unfortunately, it's not her; it's one of Lily's friends. Sirius searches through his memory bank for a name.

"Alice, right?" She nods, and then smiles.

"Have a date yet? Because you can always go with-"

Not wanting to be asked again, he interrupts, with a lie. "Sure, I have one."

Liar… Alice smirks. "Who then? I haven't heard yet."

He puts on his devilish grin, getting caught up in his lie. "Oh… you know who."

She asked him already? That's unlike Ginny… She looks surprised. "She asked you already? I thought she wasn't going to."

"Guess she couldn't resist…" He says, leaning on the wall.

Alice smiles, having believed him. "Good then." She runs off.

Sirius now looks worried. "Who asked me, I wonder?"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Ginny looks horrified. "He said what?"

***************************************************************************

This chapter was brought to you by a BIG bottle of Sprite Remix and Relient K's "Sadie Hawkins Dance".There. Now, I swear on the precious that the next one won't take me so long. I'm sooooooooooo sorry it has. Just remember three things over the break.

Review. I love you all (not like that!!! *offended*) so review! Sirius is miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine. All mine. *nods* It's true. *dodges sharp and pointy objects being thrown at her* Hey Elfie! Could use that frying pan! M-I-N-E mine. Though he belongs to JK Rowling, she abused the poor guy.

So, *pulls out metal detector looking thing* I'm off on the search for Sirius, (he ran away) so, hasta luego!

*somewhere in a dark forest*

Sirius looks around and rests against a tree. "She'll never find me in here…"

Oh yes I will.
