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:

He held out his arm. "Come on Tiger Lily."

She grabbed it. "So you'll be a semi-gentleman tonight?"

He grinned his famous Potter grin. "Of course. I do have to make fun of you some time." She rolled her eyes but felt much better about tonight. He led her into the Great Hall and her eyes widened. Even though she'd planned the decorations and music and helped with everything, she'd never thought it would work, never thought she'd live down the fact that her and James couldn't get along long enough to plan this.

But…

Everything was perfect.

She glanced over and found Kadasa and Sirius grinning and huddling close together. She sweat dropped. Okay… maybe not so perfect…

His Parents' Time

Chapter 32 – The Christmas Ball (For lack of a better title…) (Friday, December 16th)

The Great Hall had been enchanted to snow lightly though it disappeared by the time it would've reached student's shoulders. The candles everywhere were blue instead of gold. The house tables were nowhere to be seen, instead round tables sat everywhere, covered in ice blue cloth, a candle on each table. At the front of the room where the teacher's table would be was a stage, some band that James knew setting up on stage. In the middle of the room was a huge dance floor. Teachers were wandering about, talking or munching at a long table on the wall to the left of the stage.

Lily smiled as James led her over to a table in the corner. Sirius and Kadasa also made their way over, twin mischievous grins on their faces. Sam and Remus already sat at the table, waiting for them.

"This is awesome!" Sirius chirped as they all sat down.

"What is?" Lily asked.

"These menus! You can either order food at your table or go up to the big one and pick!"

Kadasa blinked then said, "hot chocolate" and tapped her glass with her wand. Suddenly she had a steaming mug of hot chocolate. She grinned and grabbed it. "Yummy yummy in my tummy."

Sam rolled her eyes. "Kadasa…" Kadasa just grinned at her.

"Sam!" Sirius suddenly chirped. "Are you-" He stopped dead.

They all stared at him in confusion, James raising an eyebrow. "Padfoot? Your turn to speak."

Sirius suddenly blinked. "What?"

"You were asking Sam something."

"Oh… I forgot." Kadasa snorted as Lily and Remus let out a short burst of laughter, James groaning and smacking his forehead, Sam rolling her eyes and smiling.

"I see you are all enjoying yourselves." They turned to find Professor Dumbledore standing there. He smiled. "Might I have a word with our Head Boy and Head Girl?"

James and Lily nodded and quickly stood, following him a few tables away where no one was. "I forgot to mention, the Heads have to have the opening dance," he said with a slight smile.

"Oh…" James frowned slightly. "When?"

"As soon as possible."

"So now?"

"In a few moments if not now." James nodded and Dumbledore sent them another smile before turning and walking back to the teacher's table.

Lily frowned as she stared at the dance floor. She wanted to dance. But she didn't want to be forced to dance. "Evans?" She turned to look at James who grinned and bowed. "Would you do the honors of accepting the first dance with myself to prove our love?"

She blinked then smiled before extravagantly saying, "oh dear James! Oh course I would! I love you so much! You're so cool!" The nearby table went silent and everyone stared. They rolled their eyes. "Merlin. No appreciates good sarcasm these days."

James grinned widely then clutched his chest. "Lady Lily!" he cried. "You were joking? How you've wounded my fragile heart! You know I have eyes only for you!"

She giggled. "Sir James! You should know I was joking! You are a prankster dear sir and I will not date a prankster!"

He winked at her. "Oh?"

She took an uneasy step back. "Yes…"

He wrapped an arm around her waist and swung her out onto the dance floor, Lily flushing as she realized they were standing in the middle of the floor, one hand holding hers, the other on her waist. She put her other hand on his shoulder as he grinned wickedly at her.

"Will you dance with a prankster?" he asked quietly.

She flushed but grinned back. "I think I am." The music started up and James smiled at her before moving into the familiar rhythm of dancing.

Sirius smiled as he watched Kadasa and Lily try to teach the first years the Macarena. She was doing pretty good too, until she tripped Lily, tried to help the red-head up and tripped herself, knocking over three first years as she did so, then all of them burst into laughter and helped each other up, only to have another first year knock into a table and spill a glass of pumpkin juice on a girl who shrieked and leapt up, knocking into someone else who tripped and split their food all over Derek's shirt. Sirius grinned to himself. If she didn't plan that, I'll give her all of the chocolate in my hidden stash. Sure enough Kadasa was grinning wickedly and patting one of the first years on the back.

"So what were you going to ask me?"

He jumped slightly and turned, looking over to find Sam sitting down beside him. "Ello Sammy." She nodded once then repeated her question. "I was going to ask if you're coming to Jamesie's next week."

"Of course I am. Why wouldn't I?"

"Is there a full moon?"

"I don't believe so."

"Oh. Good."

"Hm… So why was it vital Kadasa didn't hear this?"

"Because it might've led to Remus and us," he murmured.

"Ah… and that's bad?"

"I just… don't want her to know unless she figures it out on her own."

"Why?"

"Because if she doesn't know, people can't ask her about it if they find out."

Sam watched him quietly then looked at the blond who was still grinning and making faces at Derek. "You really like her… don't you?"

Sirius looked at her sharply and scoffed. "Sam. She's my best friend… well besides James and Remus."

Sam laughed quietly. "I put a muffilato charm up before I came over. No one can hear you beside me."

He flushed slightly. "So?"

Sam shook her head. "Is it so hard to admit?"

"Yes." She looked at him in surprise at his quick admission. "She's been my best friend for years. I can't like her that way."

"Yes you can and you do."

"I know…"

"And now I know."

"And James and Remus. There's three people who insist it's all right when it's not."

"It is all right Sirius." He ignored her and she sighed, getting to her feet. "Just tell her."

He mumbled something along the lines of 'like hell I will'… or maybe it was 'the shell I fill'… nope. Definitely the former.

"Sirius… if you're not going to tell her, at least have a dance with her." Sam turned and walked away, swishing her wand as normal conversation returned to Sirius' ears. He watched the she-wolf walk away, shaking his head lightly, then looked back at Kadasa who resumed her teachings of the Macarena. After a moment, he smirked and stood.

Kadasa grinned. "Ready? Left arm, right arm, left arm, right arm, left arm, right arm, left arm-"

"Lemme guess, right arm?" She jumped and spun to find Sirius grinning at her. "Ello ol' chap!" she chirped and saluted. "Just teachin' the youngin's bout the Mac'rena."

He raised an eyebrow and looked at the others then grinned at Kadasa, holding out his arm. "Would you perhaps dance with me?"

Kadasa blinked in surprise then grinned and looked to Lily. "Major Tiger Lily, I hand over the youngin's to you. Teach them. Teach them well." Lily rolled her eyes as the blond grabbed Sirius' arm and bowed lightly. "My good sir."

The first years looked at her quickly. "Be gone all of you." They all cheered and raced away, Lily shaking her head and laughing. She went over to their table to find Sam and Remus already there. She blinked. "Where's Potter?"

They shrugged. "He said something about snacks, Slytherins, and don't let McGonagall see me," Remus offered.

Lily groaned and flopped into a seat. "I don't want to know."

"Oh? I thought you were Head Girl."

She turned and glared at James as he walked up and flopped into the seat next to her. "I thought you were Head Boy."

"I am."

"You're supposed to be setting an example."

"So are you."

"Well I'm not the one tricking other students."

"You're the one not helping other students."

Lily glared at him, then at the Slytherin table, remembering their most recent prank, before snorting. "I actually don't care at the moment."

James grinned brilliantly then glanced at Sam and Remus who were watching someone else. He leaned over, to whisper in her ear. "I had to defend your honor didn't I Tiger Lily?"

She blinked in surprise and looked at him then scowled and turned back around. "Shut up and drink your hot chocolate." He just grinned.

"Aren't Sirius and Kadasa so cute together?" Sam asked. They all turned to the dance floor, watching the pair spin in circles, Kadasa laughing and swatting Sirius in the head when he dipped her.

"They're adorable!" Lily chirped.

"I guess they make a good pair." Remus grunted when Sam elbowed him. "Okay. They're cute."

James looked at them when they turned to him at his silence. "Uh… Kadasa's my sister and Sirius is my best mate. I'm not allowed to say anything."

The song ended and they all glanced at the dance floor to see Kadasa and Sirius returning. When they got there, they were wearing identical mischievous grins. Lily and Sam sighed. "What did you do?" Sam said. They turned towards the dance floor as a song started and a newer couple swept by.

"Ben and Kat?" Lily asked, jaw dropping. Kadasa and Sirius nodded.

"Seems Ben's got a thing for Kat," Sirius started, motioning to the pair dancing across the floor.

"And Kat for Ben," Kadasa finished. She noticed someone coming and grinned wickedly before leaning close to the table as though whispering but saying it in a normal tone. "Next I think we should pair Sarah Lyon together!"

Sarah flushed angrily. "Kadasa! If you weren't such a good quidditch player, I'd kill you!"

"Aw," Kadasa pretended to pout. "Sarah. Don't you love me?"

"No. Get away from me."

"But you're the one who came over here!" Sirius chirped, putting his arms on Kadasa's head making the girl scowl and duck her head.

"Good point… why was that…" Sarah frowned and tapped her chin then shrugged. "Whatever. Catch ya lat- oh yeah! Anne told me to tell you that Lyon said Kat told him Laverne said Raven asked Isabella who was told by Jasmine that Emily forgot her hair pin in your dorms. She wants it back."

Kadasa and Sirius blinked in confusion, Lily shaking her head, worrying for future Gryffindors. "Oh… kay…" Kadasa answered.

"Good. See ya."

"Bye." Sarah walked away and Kadasa looked to Sirius. "Are you as confused as I am?" He just nodded.

I never really realized it before. Kadasa smiled watching Sam and Remus who were quietly dancing, Sam resting her head on his shoulder. Aw. They're so cute together! An inner chibified Kadasa squealed like a fan girl, a grin coming to her face. Someone sat down next to her and she jumped, looking over to find Sirius grinning at her. He handed her a cup of hot chocolate. "Thanks."

He nodded and looked at the dance floor. "Shall we try and get them together?" Sirius asked.

She blinked. "But… they already are."

"So we'll just have to try harder!"

She grinned brilliantly and raised her fist into the air. "Yes! We will succeed again!"

"Excuse me. Yes I know you're all enjoying yourselves but it is nearing midnight and unfortunately my duties as a Headmaster include making sure you all get to bed sometime tonight so will you please calmly exit the Great Hall and have wonderful dreams tonight!"

"Maybe after Christmas break?"

"Sounds good."

Next Chapter Preview: Chapter 33 - Blackmail Plans

Remus sighed to himself, looking out the window during class and watching snowflakes drift lazily. It was a week till Christmas and classes were long and boring. Tomorrow, all six of them would be going to James' home for most of vacation. They'd come back on the 28th because both of James' parents were going to Ireland on vacation.

Remus yawned, looking around the classroom. Professor Kuma had given up on trying to get them to focus, (not that he'd actually tried) instead making them read in their textbooks. Remus scoffed mentally. Like anyone was reading it.

He glanced over at Sirius who made sure his bangs were hiding his eyes and he was asleep. James was sprawled over the desk snoring lightly.

Kadasa had propped the book in her lap and was looking down at it but Remus was sure she was asleep. Lily looked on the verge of going out and Sam was watching the snow fall.

BBBBBBBBBBBRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGG!

The class jumped, some falling out of their seats as the bell rang including James and Sirius. Kuma looked around, having been asleep apparently.

"Class dismissed," he called faintly. "Have a good holiday."
