A few weeks passed and students were getting used to the new uniforms - although Lily still laughed at Hannah about it, which resulted in her getting curses thrown at her all the time. It had been an eventful few weeks. First it had been the new uniforms, then it had been Quidditch and the school had finally seen hat Carolyn and Snape were a couple, and the Marauders new prank was coming into action. It wasn't until after the match with Ravenclaw that the big shock came to Gryffindor - Hannah quit the Quidditch team.

Flashback

"What time do you call this?" James asked as Hannah walked onto the pitch for practice.

"Hello!" Hannah snapped, "Had to go See Java."

"Yeah, whatever. Let go practice."

They played four vs three for the first twenty minutes but when it came to shooting practice and Hannah missed a shot. Drake was laughing at her saying she was losing her touch — which made her lose her cool with him.

"Losing my touch am I?" She screamed, "I missed one! unlike the five penalties you've missed this practice!"

"You shouldn't be on this team!" Drake retorted, "You got on by screwing the captain, and nothings changed because you're staying on the team because you're screwing the captain."

The Gryffindor team surrounded them and butted into the argument.

"That was uncalled for Drake." Oliver said, "Hannah's on the team cause she's got more talent than any of us - you've seen us without her, we fall apart!"

"I agree with Drake." Romeo responded, "He's got a point, she shouldn't be on this team."

The whole team started arguing.

"SHUT UP!" Hannah yelled, "I can't take this anymore. " She turned to James, "I quit!"

And she stormed off the Quidditch pitch, leaving the team divided.

End flashback

"How long is it to the Valentine Ball?" Lily asked

"Two weeks." Sirius answered, "Why?"

"Because I need something to look forward to." Lily answered

"Just think." Sirius said, "This is our last year and we'll never come back. I've never thought about it till now really."

Lily laughed and rolled her eyes. She planted a kiss on his cheek and went back to studying her Arithmacy book.

"Why do you have to study?" Sirius whined, pouting slightly. "It's really,really sunny outside and you're inside studying. Come outside."

"No!" Lily responded, "We have N.E.W.T.S in a few months and I'm the only person revising."

"That's not true!" Sirius said defensively, "I've been revising. Sort of."

Lily scoffed

"Yeah right." She smiled, "You've been too busy pranking."

Sirius put on his puppy dog face and Lily groaned.

"If you stop doing that, I'll come out." Lily said, "You annoy me when you do that."

Sirius grinned

"Come on then."

Lily followed Sirius to the ground but stopped.

"Sirius you lied to me." Lily said, glaring at him "You said there was sunshine but it's raining."

"Well it was sunny when I came up." He replied, "Anyway come on."

"No!" Lily said, "And anyway I don't look good wet."

Sirius laughed

"You look good no matter what, Lil, you should know that."

"Ha!" Lily laughed sarcastically, "I do not look good no matter what!"

With that Sirius picked her up and ran outside with her, Lily kicking and screaming all the way.

"Sirius Black if you don't put me down I swear I'll use that book on you."

"Don't care." He answered and kept on running until he got to the lake.

"SIRIUS!" Lily screeched, "DON'T YOU DARE THROW ME IN THERE!"

"Why not?" Sirius asked sweetly, "You look good wet, am just proving it."

"By throwing me in the la-" She was cut off by the fact he threw her in the lake.

Once she surfaced, Sirius look quite scared at the look on her face and thought it was best to run but he was too slow in his reaction because Lily caught him.

"You are so gonna regret that!" She screamed, "You just wait till I get my wand!"

"You know I love you right?" Sirius said, quite scared, "And that I did it to prove you look beautiful no matter what?"

"I DON'T CARE!" Lily retorted, "I'm soaking wet and it's raining!"

She stormed off inside, leaving Sirius to trail behind her. When he got back to the Common room she was sitting by the fire.

"Lily?"

"Yes Sirius?"

"I'm sorry."

He heard Lily giggle

"I know." She said, "Now come here."

Sirius did as he was told and sat in a seat next to her.

"You're an idiot you know." She smiled at him

"So you forgive me?"

"Course I do."

"Were you really going to use the book on me?"

"Maybe."

Sirius put on his face and Lily laughed

"I just hope that teaches you never to throw me in the lake again."

"I won't." Sirius promised, "I promise."

And he kissed her to show he meant it.
