CHAPTER 4: CONTRACT SIGNING WITH EVANS AND POTTER

"Now, Kristanna, after this night, you should have let Evans sign the contract McGonagall gave us," Sirius explained. "James is an easy thing, he's too depressed."

"But we have to be sure," Kristanna said sternly, pouring a drop of the purple potion on her hands. She rubbed it and smoothed the two pieces of parchment, with her hands. The original contract words were replaced with something more favorable. "Lily can detect magical properties of a potion. I think it might be useful to use the own invention of mine."

Sirius was awed at this girl's wit. He was kind of attracted to her when she swept her hair away from her face and as she took her own bottle of glowing gold liquid. "That's Felix Felicis," he snorted. The potion seemed to be insisting that it is the only one in the world that it became glowing silver.

"No. this is my own. It wipes away the remaining remnants of a certain potion, making it undetected and only appears like a coffee stain or pumpkin juice," explained Kristanna. Next, she reluctantly took another bottle of golden liquid and shook it slightly. "This is the Felix."

Sirius grabbed the bottle and opened the cork. "You look like you don't wanna give it to me," said Sirius.

Kristanna shook her head. "No, it's fine. Just two drops can do. We don't need twelve hours." (a/n: a general mistake of the book. What is the time span of a small bottle of Felix? According to Slughorn, twelve. According to Harry, twenty-four. So what?) She took a small dropper from her robe pocket. "Open your mouth, Sirius Black," she hissed, forcing Sirius to open his mouth.

"Shut it, Kristanna, you're acting like a mother," Sirius said angrily, pushing the dropper away from him.

"Hey! A drop of Felix is too precious to just drop!" forcibly, she opened Sirius' mouth and dunked the drop on it. Sirius gulped the potion nervously and felt warmth all over his body.

Kristanna took a drop of the potion, corked it tightly once again, and placed it inside her robes. She took a gulp.

"Spencer, Black, what are you doing there?" Professor MgGonagall asked them as they were holding each other. More like a PDA (Public Display of Affection) session in the eyes of their stern professor.

"Professor, we were just… we were just…" Kristanna started. She was getting nervous. "Was that really a Felix or did I brew the potion wrong?" she asked herself.

Sirius accidentally hopped off the carpet, feeling wobbles on it, caught Kristanna by the hand, and accidentally, her lips met his. Kristanna gasped because of the unexpected action. They suddenly stood up and edged away from each other.

"This is certainly a private thing, Minerva," a familiar voice chuckled through the corridor. McGonagall jumped to the side and stuttered, Professor… Professor Dumbledore!"

Dumbledore chuckled. Sirius and Kristanna looked at each other then turned hastily away. They were thinking that this chuckle was more of a giggle. McGonagall left after a while, leaving the old man and the peckers… I mean, colleagues, near the portrait of the Fat Lady. The Fat Lady and Violet edged nearer and listened to their conversation.

"Mrs. Black… err… I mean Miss Spencer," she said, surveying Kristanna's reproachful look, "and Mr. Black, I know what you're planning."

"Huh?" the two in unison shouted. They started to explain everything and give alibis but Dumbledore held out a finger to make them stop.

"I understand your plans to get them together. It is an essential part of adolescence, whatsoever," Dumbledore said, looking at a portrait of a renaissance woman flirting with a lord. "But, friendships cannot be the key to go in the love business, dear students."

"But…!" Sirius tried to interrupt.

"Mr. Black, if you really care, why don't you leave the job to the two of them? Forcing two people to feel the same way is like manipulating their minds. However, I'm also amused with your pair-up. I'll allow you to carry on with your little LJ club, but after the Valentine's Ball, there will be no more matchmaking projects, okay?" Dumbledore reminded them.

"It's alright, Professor," Kristanna said in a small voice.

"You're pretty amusing, Miss Spencer," Dumbledore remarked. "You really make use of your wit. I admit that you're one of the smartest students who ever came to Hogwarts," he added.

"I'm not as great as Lily, Sir," she said humbly.

"But people have different talents, unique to the other," Dumbledore said. He glanced at his golden pocket watch with planets as its face. "Must be off. Good luck, Mr. Black, Miss Spencer," Dumbledore bade, leaving them in front of the Fat Lady.

"Can you not tell the subjects about this?" Kristanna asked the Fat Lady and Violet. "Navidad," she told the painting.

The Fat Lady smiled. "Trust me," she said, swinging open.

"Sirius, I know this is stupid, but we have to do our stuff now," Kristanna said, going to the part of the common room where Lily was sitting, pouring over a room-filling bunch of parchment.

Sirius went up to the boys' dormitories. "Bye then. Good luck," he said.

"Lily," Kristanna bade her friend.

Lily stood up straight, dropping the parchment she was holding. "Kris, it's a good thing you're here," she said. "Can you please get that book for me?" she asked, pointing at the book.

"Lils, why not use a Summoning Charm for this?" Kristanna asked her. She summoned the book and placed it on Lily's table.

"Kris, sorry, but I'm a bit haggard of things. This is a…"

"…a special Professor Slughorn project, am I right?" Kristanna confirmed. Lily nodded. She took the magicked parchment and passed it to Lily. "Lily, this is a dare for me. Can you please sign this?" she asked her best friend with her famous pleading eyes.

"What is this, Kris?" Lily asked her, waving the piece of parchment on Kristanna's face. "A dare to have 100 signatures from girls in Hogwarts," she read. "You mean I'm the first one who'll sign this puny parchment?" she said, eyeing the empty list.

"Please, Lily," she said, kneeling on front of her and suddenly, a brown, handsome eagle was flying all around Lily. Kristanna felt that she had to transform. The Felix says so.

"I'm getting a little nervous about this," Lily said, eyeing the eagle shrewdly. "Are you sure this is not a fishy thing, Kris?"

The eagle let out a cry that seemed to say 'no'. It circled her, making all the parchments and bookpages fly around the common room. Once again, the Felix tells her that she should do this thing that would certainly make Lily angry.

"Stop it!" Lily shrieked, attempting to salvage all that she could, placing them back to place.

"Just sign the ruddy parchment, Lils," came Kristanna's voice from nowhere.

Lily picked up the animal and it perched on her arm. "Well, if that's so," she said. She took her peacock feather quill and started to sign her name on the spot where Kristanna pointed. However, this haste took Lily in a complete suspicion that halfway on her surname 'Evans', she smoothed the paper and held it on light. She then inspected the smell of the parchment. She nodded and finished signing her name in.

"Thanks, Lils, I owe you!" Kristanna said excitedly, turning back to her human form. She kissed her best friend on both sides of her cheek. She took the parchment and sped up to the girls' dormitories. "Thank you, Felix Felicis," she thought, kissing the rolled parchment and tucking it inside her robes. She glanced momentarily at the piece of parchment that slowly crisscrossed until it showed the real contents, complete with the signature of Lily Evans.

She didn't know that Lily was trying to take a peek on her friend. "Are you sure she's not taking marijuana or anything potionally addicting?" she asked Molly who was sitting on the couch, reading a book and crossing out things with her frail, combed quill.

"Nope, Lily," she said, managing to stifle her laughter, knowing the plan.

"She's getting weirder and weirder everytime I see her," Lily sighed before continuing her research.

"Prongs, sign this piece of parchment, man," Sirius nudged his friend.

"Whatever," James replied. By the moonlight, Sirius saw that he was pale. Sirius gave him the quill with ready ink and let him sign the contract without looking at it. Then he covered his bed with the red drapes hanging from his four-poster bed.

"Prongs?" Sirius called out.

James didn't move away the drapes. "What, Padfoot?"

"Just wanna thank you. Don't forget to take care of yourself," he reminded.

"And what?"

Sirius went to his own bed and started to think of an answer. "And… and try to amuse yourself on some things, kay?"

"Oh, right," James said.

"Okay, Prongs. Your handsome color will be back tomorrow," Sirius thought before rushing down the common room to send the contract to McGonagall, along with Lily Evans' copy. "The Felix was really lucky, actually."

NCSP:

James sputtered the fifth cup of coffee all over Peter's face in surprise. He then glared at Dumbledore, who gave an eye-twinkling smile on him. Lily knocked the goblet of pineapple juice on the table and the juice started to spread on the white tablecloth. She stood up and looked at Dumbledore, then at the bemused James, and then at Dumbledore again. She sat down again and her mouth still dry with the incident. James' fan club looked at Lily in distraught and the group, composed of eight members, walked out of the Hall. Lily's woo-ers howled while crying.

a/n: before I forgot, supposed to be, this fic should have been started long before and this should end on Velntine's day. However… anyway, I hope to get some reviews from you…
