Disclaimer: I do not own Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, James Potter, or Lily Evans.
I do own Kadasa Mori and Samantha Selene and any of the characters I make up along the way.
I also don't own the places mention in here (Ex: Hogwarts, Hogwarts Express, Platform 9 ¾'s, etc.) Unless they're of my own creations (Ex: Sam's American home)
I never want to own Wormtail so you may have him.
Oh and I don't own any of the teachers… unless of course I make them up.
Yup… I think that's about it. Now on with the story!
Last time:
"See ya later. I'm gonna go terrorize some pathetic first year."
"Sirius!" Kadasa snapped. He just gave her a grin and disappeared out of the door. She sighed then turned to Rosemary. "I think I'll get this one Rose. Let me go change."
"Ah!" She glanced over at Laverne who held up a black dress to Kat. "You would look good in this."
"You think so?"
Kadasa rolled her eyes and disappeared into the dressing room, changing into her muggle clothes before finding Rosemary to pay for the dress.
"You really do look gorgeous in the dress," Rosemary stated.
"Thanks Rose."
"Are you sure you're not with that boy?"
"Sirius? No."
"But he does like you." Kadasa gave her a dull look. "I can tell sweetheart. The way he looked at you when you came out. He does like you." Kadasa snorted. "Just watch for signs my dear." Rosemary winked. "Stop by soon."
"Kee-dokie Rosemary." She waved as she exited the building. Sirius like me? She scoffed, heading towards the Three Broomsticks. She must be out of her mind… She bit her lip. But she's never been wrong about anything… She shook her head. It's not possible. He's my brother's best friend. Not possible… And for some strange reason, that made her sad.

Sam let out a yawn as she stretched in potions. Professor Zou had given them directions for a simple potion because she hadn't felt like giving them anything to study, partnered them up in fours and went to work grading things but occasionally walked by to check their progress.
Ben, Kadasa, James and Sirius were partnered up talking about quidditch while working on their potions. Sam, Remus, Kat and Laverne sat behind them. A sudden squeal brought the class to a halt as Kadasa fell off her stool. Sirius burst out laughing and a moment later he fell off his stool as she tackled him.
Zou merely glanced up then went back to her grading. "Kadasa. Don't kill him. I'm already behind on paperwork."
Kadasa sat on his chest trying to reach his face but he held back her hands. "Aw. Poor Asa. Too short to do any damage."
She snarled and tried to bite him but he leapt away and ran around the classroom as she chased him. "Damn child! Get back here you idiotic moron!"
"They mean the same thing!"
"SHUT UP!"
There was a knock at the door just as Kadasa got her hands around Sirius's neck and shook. Everyone looked to find Dumbledore standing there with an eyebrow raised. "Am I… interrupting?"
"No! Come on in Headmaster!" Zou called. He stepped in and gave Kadasa and Sirius an amused look. The latter grinned mischievously and the former scowled.
"He was annoying me headmaster!" she wailed. "Can you please let one curse slip by unnoticed! Maybe one that'll burn his hair or something…"
"Not the hair!" Sirius wailed falsely.
"Yes the hair you jerk!"
James sighed from his spot and Ben and Lily looked at him. "I don't know them," he muttered. Lily snorted and Ben grinned widely. They began racing around the class room again until Kadasa tackled him trying to grab his neck again. He batted her away and picked her up, holding her wrists in one hand, arms around her thighs.
She began kicking. "Put me down!"
He laughed. "And let you kill me! No way!"
"Mr. Black!" He dropped Kadasa, looking for McGonagall then scowled at Lily as she smirked, having done the perfect McGonagall impression. He blinked then remembered who'd he'd just held hostage. Kadasa snarled at him and he let out a screech running from the class room.
"GET BACK HERE!" they heard her voice echo before turning to the teachers.
Dumbledore shook his head in amusement and turned to Zou. "Professor Zou. I wonder if you'd allow me to speak with Mr. Potter and Miss Evans."
"Of course. Potter. Evans. See ya." They waved lamely and followed after Dumbledore. They passed Sirius who was still yelling as he ran down the hall, Kadasa running after him and snarling death threats. Lily wished she had that kind of energy in the mornings.
When they were settled into seats in Dumbledore's office, he folded his hands in front of him. "The reason I've called you here, is that I wanted to make sure that the Christmas Ball will be going as smoothly as possible. I don't really want a repeat of last year." Lily flushed.
Last year she'd dumped a cup of punch on James' head because of something stupid he'd said (now she couldn't remember what it was) but everything had stopped. Then Kadasa grabbed a cup and tossed it at Sirius for no apparent reason. He yelped and tossed one at her but she'd ducked and it'd hit another girl. In five seconds it had escalated into an all out food war.
"It was fun I'll admit," Dumbledore chuckled. "But the house elves weren't very happy with the mess they had to clean up. So I just wanted to go over your plans with you. I'm very curious as to what my head girl and head boy thought up."
Lily smiled lightly and pulled a folder from her pack and held them out. Dumbledore's eyes scanned it then he smiled. "Some very good ideas Miss Evans. I can't wait to see this all finished." She smiled happily, blushing lightly. "Since you've both done such a wonderful job, you don't have to return to Potions class, since I highly doubt much will be done without your current amusement."
Lily sweat dropped. "Current? They're always amusement." Dumbledore chuckled and offered them lemon drops before shooing them from his office.

Kadasa hummed to herself as she walked back from the library during her free block. She turned the corner only to almost fall over. "Ack!" she cried as Sirius slammed into her. "Sirius! What are y-" He grabbed her arm and tugged her into the empty classroom, a hand over her mouth. A moment later a girl she recognized as Pana, whom everyone referred to as Panda Pana because of her… large size, waddled down the hallway, looking around.
"Siri-poo!" she called. "Where are youuuuuuuuuu?"
After she disappeared down the next hallway, Sirius released Kadasa sighing in relief. "Lemme guess," Kadasa said, "Christmas ball?"
"Xactly."
She pulled away. "Now if I was really mean, I woulda told her you were here."
He raised a finger. "Ah. But that's why I covered your mouth."
She smirked. "So you were smart for once."
"Thanks but did you have to add the for once?"
"Yes." He pouted and she giggled hooking her arm around his. "Shall we go torment dear brother?"
He grinned. "You read my mind. Prongsie will be especially happy to see us."

"Prongsie!"
James rolled his eyes hearing Sirius and Kadasa's voices getting louder as they came closer. "Either of you get a date yet?" he asked as they entered, hoping they'd turn back around and leave him alone.
"I don't want a date," Kadasa complained, hanging over the arms of the recliner that 'somehow' (coughstolenfromGryffindortowercough) made its way to the head boy's dorm room. Sirius flopped onto his bed.
"Well you need one. It's required," James replied, half listening, half reading his magazine on quidditch.
"Hey!" Sirius held up a finger. "I've got an idea!"
"Uh oh," Kadasa said. "That's not good."
"Huh? Why?"
"Cause your ideas usually lead to disasters," James commented nonchalantly.
Sirius scowled as Kadasa nodded her agreement. "Well if you don't want to hear it, I won't tell you!"
"Okay," James replied in the same nonchalant tone.
"Fine by me," Kadasa added.
"Guys!" Sirius whined. "Listen-listen!"
"We have been."
"Well listen some more Prongsie!"
"Don't call me Prongsie!"
Ignoring him completely, Sirius grinned brilliantly. "See, I don't want to take Panda Pama to the ball, nor any other annoyances, and Asa doesn't want to take ANYONE so I'll take her."
There was a silence between all three of them until James grinned.
"Sounds good. I'll allow you to take her-"
"Allow!" Kadasa shrieked.
"-considering you are one of my best mates-"
"Don't I get any say in this?" Kadasa asked.
"-and the fact that I know you won't be… too mean to her." James finished with a nod.
"It's settled," Sirius chirped, wrapping an arm around Kadasa's shoulders. "We'll go together!"
Kadasa sighed deeply. "I have no life if my brother decides who goes to the Christmas ball with me."
"Then I guess us lifeless people can go together!" Sirius grinned and she rolled her eyes.
"Whatever. As long as you don't make me dance all night."
He grinned brilliantly. "Great! That means I've accomplished two of the things on my agenda. One, get Prongsie to stop annoying me about getting a date for the ball, and two, have someone to annoy for the ball without having to be hexed by them." Kadasa stuck her tongue out before skipping out of the room to go downstairs. Sirius grinned then turned back to James who was grinning. "What?"
James shook his head nonchalantly. "What!" He shook his head again. "Prongsie!"

Sitting in the common room, Remus looked up vaguely as Kadasa shrieked something unintelligible. Sirius had charmed her hair blue and she was trying to strangle him, James laughing at them.
"POTTER!" They all turned to see Lily and Sam come rushing in. Lily's eyes were practically burning fire and everyone jumped out of her way as she stormed over. Sam was practically pleading with her about something but she didn't listen and stomped in front of him.
"Evans?" James asked, standing up. "What's the matt-"
"JERK!" SLAP! She pulled her hand away then rushed from the room as quickly as she had come in.
James put a hand on his flaming left cheek then turned to Sam. "What'd I do this time?"
She looked sheepish. "I'm sorry. I tired to get her to calm down but… there've been a few guys coming up and asking her to the ball. When she refused politely, saying she had to go with you, they laughed and said that you told them to ask her just because she couldn't go with anyone else."
James scowled. "Who?"
Sam shrugged. "I don't know them personally but they're Slytherin 5th, 6th, and 7th years. Bout four or five of them." James nodded then headed for the door.
"James! Don't get detention!" Kadasa called after him. He sent her a scowl and disappeared. Kadasa sighed then turned to Sirius. "If you tell anyone to ask me out, I will kill you."
He laughed and held up his hands. "Why would I do that? I need to go with you so I can annoy you."
"You're going together!" Sam and Remus echoed.
"Oh yeah-" Kadasa started.
"-we didn't tell you," Sirius finished.
"You two are going together?" Sam asked then groaned.
"The party's going to be a disaster," Remus laughed. They scowled at them both.
Kadasa suddenly grinned. "Who's the most unlikely Gryffindors to get together?"
Sam and Remus frowned then shrugged.
Sirius grinned. "How about… hmm… Ben doesn't have a girlfriend… not that I know of."
She pointed to Sirius. "You ask Ben. I'll ask around and see who we can partner him up with."
"Asa," Sam whined at the same time Remus said, "Padfoot…"
"Yes?" they chimed innocently then nodded to each other and darted to different sides of the room. Sam and Remus rolled their eyes before whispering curses at Sirius and Kadasa, like changing their skin color until they noticed and accused each other of doing it. Yes it was evil, but it was funny!

James sighed as he walked down the hall. Lily was in the corridor on his right according to the map. He quickly tapped it clean and rushed after her. As he turned the corner, he saw red flashing.
"Evans…" James called. "Evans! Stop!" She sent a glare in his direction, stomping down the hall. He ran over, jumping in front of her and grabbing her shoulders. "Evans. Why would I do that?" When she refused to look at him he scowled. "Evans! Why?"
"Because you're a jerk Potter!" she shouted, glaring at him.
He rolled his eyes. "Besides the obvious Evans."
She scowled. "Because you think it's funny that I have to go to a ball with you."
He sighed heavily. "Evans… I wouldn't do that to anyone. I'd get my date angry at me… and they're Slytherins! If I did get some amusement out of it I'd send Gryffindors to do it!"
"Like that makes me feel so much better!" she snapped.
"Evans… Please believe me…"
She looked up at him then sighed heavily and turned away. "Fine… just… don't get into trouble."
He grinned. "Aw. Worried?"
"Never. I just don't want to have to explain to the school you weren't defending my honor but kicking Slytherin's butts for the fun of it."
"Well they shouldn't expect anything less huh?"
She smiled slightly. "Guess not."
He tossed an arm around her shoulders. "Come on. I'll treat you to a hot chocolate."
"You can't treat if you're not paying for it."
"I'll treat you anyway." She sent him a look but was smiling. It's getting easier to get her back to normal after a fight, he thought vaguely before falling into his usual routine of annoying her.

"Hey Asa." Kadasa turned to see Sirius walking over, hands in his pockets.
She smiled. "Hey Sirius. James and Lily make up yet?"
"Think so. They came back without James being cursed, hexed, or beaten to a bloody pulp."
She snorted. "They made up." He chuckled and nodded. They both leaned against the wall, looking up at the stars, a slight wind playing with their hair and cloaks.
"Listen…" he turned to her. "I think I hurt your feelings earlier."
She looked surprised. "Huh? How?"
"When I said we could go together," he sighed. "I didn't even give you a chance to decline if you had someone else in mind. Sorry. If you don't wanna go-"
"No! No I'll go with you!" She grinned. "At least I won't have to act all proper around you."
He grinned. "I hope you'll allow the same courtesy of me?"
"Of course Sirius."
"Good." They watched the stars for awhile before he turned back to her. "Okay. Right now I'm going to be a proper gentleman." She frowned in confusion, and he grabbed her hand and bowed. "Kadasa, would you like to go to the Christmas ball with me?"
She giggled then raised her chin and stood straight. "Yes good sir, I think I would."
He grinned and kissed the back of her hand. "Good!" He wrapped an arm around her shoulders. "So it makes you feel better to know that you're going with a good looking young lad eh?"
"I thought I was going with you," she said innocently and he scowled at her then grinned.
"Now, you're going to have to help me prank some people."
She cried out in happiness. "Now there's the Sirius I know!"
"And love?"
"And is friends with."
He scowled playfully and snapped his fingers. "Almost had you."
"You'll never catch me."
"And why not?"
"Because no one can," she replied slyly then winked. "G'night Sirius."
"Night Asa." She turned and walked back down the tower to the Head Girl's dorm and he sighed but looked back at the stars. A shooting star shot across the sky and he smiled. I will catch her someday.
