Chapter Seven

When Hermione and Lily returned from the library to the common room it was time to go to Hogsmeade and Hermione noticed Sirius, Harry, and James where in the common room waiting for them.

"Hey Hermione," said Sirius winking at her.

"Oh hey Sirius," said Hermione trying to act normal in front of him.

"So are you guys to do this so called 'dare'," said Remus laughing at them.

"Oh my gosh come on lets get the truth out! They like each other and they know it!" said James looking at both of them blushing.

"To them this isn't a dare! It is a date!" said James taking his eyes off Sirius who was still looking at Hermione.

"It is not a date!" said Hermione running into her room. Oh my gosh I hate it here thought Hermione. I cant do this. I am not going to Hogsmeade with those animals!

"Um...Hermione?" said Harry entering her room. "Are you okay?"

"No I am not okay!" said Hermione. "And I am not going to HOgsmeade either with those amateurs!"

"Well," said Harry. "They are waiting for you outside and you don't have to go if you don't want to!"

"I mean I want to go," said Hermione. "Just not with him at this moment," she said looking up at Harry. "Just tell them I am going just not with Sirius. Ok?"

"Ok," said Harry. Wow look at how dramatic her life is in 1980 thought Harry as he left her common room.

"Um...guys?" said Harry.

"Yeah?" said Sirius as soon as Harry made is way down stairs.

"She is gonna go to Hogsmeade but not with Sirius. She said when you all leave she will be on her way" said Harry.

"Ok," said Lily. "But I am waiting for her," she said. "Oh yeah by the way I am gonna go upstairs to talk to her. You can go with them Harry." she said.

"Ok," said Harry.

When Lily reached the top of the stairs she saw Hermione come out of her room.

"Hey Hermione I was just gonna come up there to talk to you!" said Lily.

"Ok lets talk downstairs," said Hermione.

"Um...Do you want to go with Sirius? I mean it is just a dare but you don't have to do it. I mean I know you both like each other so maybe only me and you will go," said Lily. "And we can all meet each other at 5:00 at the Three Broom Sticks,"

"Ok," said Hermione.

"Oh yeah before we start going, Sirius left something for you," said Lily laughing.

It was a white rose and a letter.

Dear Hermione,

I am sorry about what James did before. I didn't know that you would take it to heart. But as Harry informed me when he was in the Great Hall. I like you a lot Hermione and if you don't wanna go to Hogsmeade that's ok. Just tell me when you are okay and maybe we can talk at the Three Broom Sticks at 5:00.

Love From,

Sirius Black.

Hermione read the leader to Lily.

"Wow that was really romantic Hermione," said Lily almost crying. "I think you should go to Hogsmeade with him," she said.

"Nah, maybe I should just meet him at the Three Broom Sticks and maybe we can talk," said Hermione. "For now lets just go to Hogsmeade?"

"Ok whatever you say," said Lily happily.

Hermione and Lily went to Hogsmeade. The first store they went to was the Dresses and Tuxedos store to get there outfits for the dance.

"Hey Hermione," said Lily after a half an hour looking for the right dress because obviously Lily and James were going together but who was Hermione gonna go with?

"Yeah Lily?" said Hermione kinda uninterested while she was looking for the right outfit.

"I found the best dress," said Lily. She went into the dressing room. When Lily came out she had a blue strapless dress with diamonds.

"Wow you look wonderful," said Hermione, kinda jealous.

"Have you found your dress?" said Lily.

"Yeah but I aint showing you!" said Hermione evilly.

"Why?" said Lily. "I showed you!"

"Because I don't want you to see until Christmas dance," said Hermione.

"Fine lets go to Honey dukes!" said Lily. "Maybe you will see your prince charming," said Lily.

"Oh yeah who?" said Hermione.

"Sirius." she said as they entered Honeydukes.

"Who said my name?" he said as he saw Hermione and Lily.

"Oh hey," said Lily to James, Sirius, Remus, and Harry.

"Hey Hermione," said Sirius. "Can I talk to you for minute?"

"Yeah sure," she said nervously.

"Um...I am sorry about before. I can understand if you don't wanna go with me to like Three Broom Sticks or something for the rest of the trip I am fine with that." said Sirius sadly.

"I would love too!" said Hermione. What am I doing? thought Hermione.

"Ok, but after I go to Zonko's with Lily?" said Hermione. "Meet me at Honeydukes at 4:30. Ok?"

"Ok bye" said Sirius as he kissed her cheek.

"Ok, bye!" said Hermione.

Hermione entered Honeydukes and grabbed Lily by the hand,"Were leaving!" she said.

"Why?" said Lily while Hermione was pulling her out.

"Oh my gosh I have to meet Sirius at The Three Broomsticks at 4:30!" she screeched.

"Really?" said Lily.

"Yeah!" said Hermione excitedly.

"Ok for now lets go to Zonko's I wanna get something to trick James and Sirius for what happen last night when they filled by bed with bugs!" said Lily.

"Ok," said Hermione. "I am gonna plan it with you!"

"I would be delighted to have a partner!" said Lily laughing.

When they got out of Zonko's maps of Hogwarts with the wrong passages, a fishing pole and a explosive cookie(I think you've go the idea of what they are planning:)

"This is gonna be the best plan ever!" said Hermione. "Oh yea what time is it?"

"Um...4:27," said Lily.

"Oh shoot I gotta be at the Three Broom sticks in 3 minutes,"

Hermione and Lily ran to the Three Broom Sticks with bags in there hand.

"Oh you made it!" said Sirius with James only there.

"Um...where is Harry and Remus?" said Lily.

"Oh yeah they went back to Hogwarts to play wizards chess and plus they thought it would be better as a double date?" James said honestly.

"Oh yeah I have something to ask Hermione... in private James!" said Sirius.

"Ok,"

James and Lily went outside until Sirius gave them the thumbs up signal.

"Um...What were you gonna ask me?" said Hermione knowing he was gonna ask her to the Christmas dance or at least that is what she thought!...

"Willyougotothedancewithme?" said Sirius really quickly looking at the floor.

"Oh...um...OF COURSE!"said Hermione loudly enough for James and Lily to hear.

"I guess that was a yes!" said James quietly to Lily."oh yeah I was meaning to ask you something?" said James to Lily.

"Yeah?" said Lily really impatiently.

"Will you go to the dance with me?" said James.

"Oh I would love to!" said Lily.

As Hermione saw Lily enter in she told Sirius. "Um...I am gonna go back to Hogwarts," said Hermione. "See ya!"

"See ya, I am gonna stay here with James," he said to Hermione as she left.

"Wow that went great. Now lets go back to the common room and maybe I will give you a hint of what my dress looks like!" said Hermione to Lily.

"Ok." said Lily

(A/n wow I think that was a long chapter!)
