Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter. JKR does.

AN: Just so all you readers know, I'm not one to rush romances so it is going to go slowly—very slowly. Also, can anyone guess how old I am? Hint: I'm younger than thirty (lol)

Ihateharryandhermioneshippers: Thanks! Do you want a character?

ShelbyBlack: Sure! To be honest, one of my best friends is named Shelby and I almost named Bridget Shelby instead of Bridget (if that made any sense :D).

can'tburnme: Okay, tell me what you want them to be named and if you want them to be male/female! I don't plan on revealing the cloak guy (like my wording?) for a while but it's good you have an idea who he is!

And, does anyone want to be my beta? I'd send you an email with a chapter as an attachment to read over for mistakes. You'd be able to read my chapters sooner!

PLEASE go to hpff (they won't let me type the URL; if you don't know it, tell me and I'll email it to you) and see my banner! Tell me what you think!

Lily awoke the next morning in the Head Girl Dormitory, stretched, and yawned. She really liked the layout of her dorm, with her own bathroom and space. She did miss her friend's company, though. Her dorm was connected to James's by a door that had locks on both sides. At least he couldn't sneak into her dormitory while she was changing or taking a shower.

There was a knock on the adjoining door connecting the two Head Dormitories. Lily sighed; she didn't want to have to deal with James this early.

"What do you want, Potter?" she called. Lily didn't know if he could hear her or not, but in all honesty she didn't care.

"I want to make a peace treaty," James's voice floated through the door. "If we're going to be good Head students, we have to work civilly with each other."

Lily didn't like James's arrogant ways at all but she thought it was slightly thoughtful of him to want peace between them for the better of the school. "Alright!" she yelled. "I'll try to work civilly with you!"

"Okay then," he replied.

Lily walked into her bathroom. She flicked her wand and the shower started. Quickly undressing, she welcomed the warm water and relaxed for the first time in the past few days.

Bridget groaned and rolled over as Meghen started to shake her, saying that they would be late for class. Bridget sat up, rubbed her eyes, and glared at Meghen. When she saw Meghen's dazed smile, she arched an eyebrow.

"What's up with you this morning?" Bridget asked lazily.

Meghen had decided the night before not to tell her friends of the near incident last night; it would only worry them and she wasn't sure what exactly happened. Instead she responded, "Remus Lupin…" still wearing the dazed smile.

"You should ask him out, girl! He's so in to you! First Hogsmeade weekend!" Bridget was more awake, now that they were on the topic of Meghen's love life.

"Alright, I will," Meghen grinned mischievously. "If you go with Sirius Black."

"No way!" Bridget exclaimed, punching Meghen lightly in a joking manner. "The only way I would do that is if Lily went with James!"

"If I can get them together, will you go with Sirius?" Meghen asked, grinning again.

"If you can get them together, I'll be the one to ask Sirius!" Bridget replied, shaking Meghen's hand to seal the deal. "Actually, I want them together too, so I'll even help you!"

Lily stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around her small frame. She opened the bathroom door and walked over to her wardrobe, looking for her Hogwarts uniform.

As she was rummaging through her clothes, she heard a click from the door connecting her room to James's. She spun around to find James in the doorway with wide eyes but he quickly turned, shut and locked the door and yelled, "Damn, Lily, I'm sorry!"

Lily was rather annoyed that he hadn't knocked but was at least grateful that he hadn't stayed and stared. "I'm guessing you've seen more of women than that?" she asked sarcastically.

"Do you really want me to answer that?" he shouted back.

"Preferably not," she agreed.

"Moony, why am I waking you up? I'm supposed to be the lazy one!" Sirius exclaimed. "Fine, have it your way… Rivenesco!" he whispered indolently and cold water shot out of Sirius's wand, spraying Remus in the face.

Remus's head shot up and he started to shiver. "Damn you, Padfoot!"

Sirius smirked and started to whistle innocently. "What? It was Wormtail!" he defended.

"It gets old, Padfoot," Remus groaned.

"Apparently, Wormtail doesn't think that!" Sirius said.

"I meant with the lame excuses!" Remus grunted.

"Hey! They are not lame!" Sirius claimed.

"Yes they are!"

"No they aren't!"

"Are too!"

"Are not!"

"Are t—"

"Guys, can you shut up? I was trying to sleep," Peter moaned.

Remus shrugged. "Are too!"

Meghen, Bridget, and Lily were bored out of their minds the next day during History of Magic. They heard multiple snores from the other side of the room.

"Mr. Black," Professor Binns droned. "What war ended in 1412?"

Remus poked Sirius awake. "Quidditch," Sirius mumbled sleepily.

"It was the Great War," Professor Binns said, still droning. "At that time Merlin was born…"

Bridget took out a sheet of parchment. She quickly scribbled a message for Meghen and Lily and tapped the paper with the opposite end of her quill. The ink seeped into the paper and disappeared.

(AN: Bold will be Bridget, Italicized will be Lily, Underlined will be Meghen, Regular will be their thoughts not on paper; they're passing notes magically).

I didn't know History of Magic could be this boring. Now you know.

How many more minutes, Bee?

Fifty.

You know, we have a Hogsmeade Weekend soon!

Bridget immediately knew what Meghen's plan was and decided to help a little.

Yeah! We'll have so much fun together.

What are you talking about, Lils? Megs and I both have dates.

You can still hang with us and all if you to… I guess.

Lily didn't want to bother them on their dates, obviously, but they had always spent Hogsmeade weekends together since third year!

No, that's okay. Who are you going with?

Remus Lupin.

Bridget didn't know whom to write, because in all honesty she didn't want to go with Sirius like Meghen wanted to go with Remus. But if she wrote down Sirius, than Lily would make sure she actually went with Sirius, since she wanted them together as much as Bridget wanted Lily and James together. What had she gotten herself into?

Sirius Black.

Bridget was pretty sure she had just written her own death sentence, and worse yet, she would have to ask him. But what else could she have done?

Hah! I told you so Megs!

I guess I do owe you a few galleons.

You guys were betting on whether Black and I would end up together or not?

Um, Yeah

Gosh, Bee, it's not like we aren't betting on her and James!

WHAT? Um, well…

Megs and Bee, I am so going to kill you.

You were betting on me! I'm just returning the favor.

The problem with the bet was we both thought the two of you would end up together.

MEGS!

Which bet?

Both, actually.

Hey, class is finally over!

All three girls crumpled up the used parchment and threw it away on their way out of the classroom.

At lunch, Meghen found Remus and casually asked him if he would like to take a walk. He agreed and they both departed from the Great Hall.

"I was wondering," they both started at the same time. "Go ahead," Meghen smiled.

"What are you doing on the first Hogsmeade Weekend?" Remus asked trying to say it offhandedly.

"Hanging around, I suppose," she replied, knowing what was about to be asked.

"Do you want to go with me?" Remus inquired.

"Like a date?" Meghen questioned.

"Yeah, unless you don't want to," Remus said quickly.

"No, I'd love to," Meghen flirted

Late into the evening next day, Bridget approached Sirius. "Sirius, we need to talk," she fidgeted.

AN: I'll leave that for the next chapter!
