Summary: Lily and James are in their 7th year at Hogwarts. Can she resist his charms? Especially when her friends fall in love with his friends…
Disclaimer: I don't own anything except a handful of characters and the plot.
Note: I'm so sorry about the slow update. I got sick (flu) and am still coughing rather badly.
A Dangerous Deal
Sirius' POV
I glowered at my two 'comrades'. Playing a prank was fine. On me? Okay, I don't really mind. But with my STEAK!
That was my dinner. My lovely steak! I growled. The two idiots were still laughing their heads off. Luckily for me, I had managed to acquire a hat. Unfortunately, pinkish tendrils were sneaking out.
It wasn't because of the pink, you know. I don't hate the color. It kinda reminded me of Nymphadora. Tonks. She's my darling three-year-old niece. She is a Metamorphmagus. And she absolutely loves changing her hair to bright pink.
Still… I growled loudly. The two finally stopped laughing. Good, at least they knew that I was going to attack them.
"Prongs and Moony, my dear boys," I said, slowly. "Do you guys like children?"
They exchanged a glance filled with bewilderment, and a tinge of fear.
"Yeah."
"Yes."
I smiled. A feral smile. As in a smile with bared teeth. A wild kinda smile. A smile full of- Whatever. I smiled.
"Want 'em?" I growled again, louder and deeper.
Moony winced. Prongs looked down at his pants with horror on his face and shot me a glance that plainly said, 'You're kidding… right?"
I smiled yet again. Oh I was so happy… partly. Question answered, no. Revenge is so sweet.
End Sirius' POV
Prongs: Paddy, I am sorry for what I did and- OW!
Moony: Get off him Paddy! Or I'll- AHHHH!
Prongs: He's gone-OW! Mad! OW! Moony!
Moony didn't answer. He was using his head. As in his brain. He had grabbed a pillow and had begun to whack anything that he could see. This included Prongs, unfortunately.
The room was filled with whacking sounds and cries of pain as something hit someone's sensitive area or something.
Strange thing. What had started so dramatically ended quite suddenly with one girl and one word. Yup, only one of each.
Stella's POV
"I have to return the book to Rem now guys, see you later!"
I ran out of the dormitory. The book was just an excuse to talk to Rem. I wanted to scold him, both for pulling such a prank on Sirius (though I enjoyed it, I sensed Sirius didn't) and also for not answering my question on the train. I hate it when people do that. It's so rude.
"Rem?" I poked my head into the boys' dorm. I had been knocking for a whole minute and I was getting impatient. Plus I was curious to see what they were doing to make that scuffling sorta noise.
I gasped. The three boys, Rem, Sirius and James, were lying in a tangle on the beds. The sight brought a deep flush to my cheeks, I could feel them burning.
Well, at least they're not naked… Eww… Wonder what Rem would look like nak- NO! Do not think about that, Stella Wilson!
"Stella? Oh my god, stop it you guys!" Rem dealt a whack to both the boys' heads. Ouch.
"What? Oh Merlin!" At seeing me from his upside-down view, Sirius fell off the bed onto his bottom. James fell off onto Sirius and they rolled around punching each other.
"I… um… I… I'll come back tomorrow then…" I stammered, flushing a deeper red.
Remus came to the door. His forehead was covered with beads of sweat and his cheeks were tinged with pink. His robes (he hadn't changed) were all messed up.
"So er… sorry about the… er… Sirius was angry and well…" He continued to babble.
I wanted nothing more than to just go back. So I did what I had to do.
"Stop babbling Rem," I put my hand over Remus' mouth, cutting off his stream of words. I thrust the book into his hands, and walked away, my face blushing hotly again. AHHH!
James' POV, Next Morning, Breakfast
I sat down across Lily and grabbed a few pieces of toast. Moony was talking to Paddy. I caught him looking at Stella though…
Hmm… I like staring at Lily over meals… It helps with my appetite. She looked lovelier than usual today.
Her fiery red hair fell past her shoulders, the sunlight catching the ends and making them seem to glow gold. Her eyes were a deep green today, which meant that she was thinking of something.
"Lily why can't you accept me?" I blurted out.
"What?"
Oh heck it all. "Why can't you accept me?"
She looked around; no one was listening. She frowned. I hoped the response would help me in some way to win her heart.
"What are my faults?" I asked gently.
"Well, you are quite all right. But the only problem, a big problem, is that you are cocky, too confident and too self-absorbed."
I digested this piece of news. An idea struck me.
"I'll make a deal with you. If I change and behave myself for one week, you'll go out with me."
Her head jerked up. She pondered over my words, then apparently came to a decision. A smile crept over her lips and I nearly fainted in front of the beauty.
"Deal, but there's a slight change. If you lose, you will have to say sorry to Snape, and not hex him for a month."
"Deal." I replied immediately.
We shook hands.
Hours Later, On the Way to Dinner
Moony: What the heck?
Paddy: You what?
Peter: -silence-
Me: What's the matter?
Moony: You realize what you have done?
Me: Yup. I just made an easy deal with the girl of my dreams and I am going to win her heart. Easy peasy.
Moony: A dangerous deal, more like.
I snorted. What is so dangerous about it? I just have to be an angel for a week and I bag the girl. What's the difficulty?
Here's a little of the next chapter.
Moony sighed and shook his head.
"What's the matter Moony? Thinking of Stella?" I asked slyly.
He looked at me, startled. He was clearly unnerved.
"Prongs, you're my best friend, right?"
"Yeah." We had known each other since pre-Hogwarts.
"If I tell you a secret, promise you won't blab to anyone? Including Sirius, Peter, Lily, Adrienne or Stella?"
"Okay." I bet it had something to do with Stella.
"Prongs, I-"
Stop here. Can't let you get all the juicy stuff can I?
