Hey way to boost her confidence. You'll be fine, don't worry!" Lily said. "If you need any help wit homework or whatever come to me okay?"
"Thanks you're awesome! So um where's Meghan?" she asked
"Don't know you came back first." James replied. "Checkmate."
"Aw Quij you always win!" Sirius
"I wonder what that girl is doing." Lily.
"What ever it is, it's probably more interesting than my meeting with professor Binns." Rose said as she pretended to yawn. Suddenly Meghan walked in the door. She took off her coat and scarf and sat down.
"Hey guys sorry I'm late. Hey Rose how was Professor Binns?" Meghan said, her cheeks were rosy and she had some snow in her hair.
"Aw, alright all I need to do is boost my grade up otherwise it will be remedial History for me."
"Sorry, I wish I could help you but my grades are almost as bad as Sirius!" Meghan laughed.
"HEY!" Sirius said.
"Calm down!" Lily laughed.
"Anyway where were you?" James asked curiously.
"Oh, well," There was a slight pause.
"I was outside."
"Well that's a given." Remus said.
"I met with someone."
"Care to tell us who?" Rose asked
"Hold on, I'm getting there!" Meghan said. "I met with Kevin Jones."
"Care to explain why you were out with the Quidditch captain?" James asked.
"Well I figured I'd try out, since Emit McMahon was hit by a jinx or something I don't know, just, well, he's in St. Mungos that's all I know" Meghan said "Anyway, last summer my mom had me baby-sit instead of doing what I wanted so she got me a Nimbus as a thank you, and It's amazing so I'm practicing." When she finished there was a slight pause.
"Well I think it's great! Sirius and I need another person on the team ever since Emit." James said cheerfully, James was the seeker and Sirius was the Beater.
"Are you a good Chaser?" Remus asked
"A fair one, I guess." Meghan shrugged.
"Well tomorrow we'll help you practice." Sirius said, "I'll try to be keeper or what ever, James could be one too! You could have double the challenge and you'll definitely be ready.
"Wait, sorry I would, but I can't, Lily and I have a date at Madam Puddifoots, and we can't cancel our reservations." James looked at Lily; she shrugged and said that she was sorry too.
"That's okay." Sirius said, still cheerful, "I will make Meghan that BEST chaser you've ever seen." As he said this he put his arm around her shoulders, she smiled. "I promise."
The next day Sirius and Meghan headed out to the Quiddich field, and Lily and James went on their date. Rose and Remus staid in the common room.
"So what'd you want to do Rose?" Remus asked, "We could go watch Meghan and Sirius."
'Nah, too much energy, wanna go to the dueling club and try out our skills?" Rose laughed, "I know, it's stupid, but my grade in Defense Against the Dark Arts is almost as bad as my History grade."
"Okay, I'll help you." Remus said
"Thanks Moony!" Rose said
"Yeah sure!" Lupin answered, and they headed downstairs. When they reached the dueling room, they stepped inside and found it empty.
"Good, I get kind-of nervous with people watching me, especially hot guys." she laughed, so did Lupin.
"Sorry, only Me." He joked.
"Then I should be really nervous" She said.
"Okay let's get down to business, what do you want to practice?" He asked, a little happier than before.
"I don't know, can we just duel? Go kind-of easy on me though, I'm not that good, but don't purposely let me win, I hate that." Rose said
"Me too, so I won't" Remus said.
"Okay we don't have to bow or anything so. 1,2,3!" she said
"Expelliarmus." Lupin said, Rose was knocked backwards off her feet and her wand flew out of her hand. Lupin helped her up.
"Accio wand." He said her wand flew to him, he handed it to her. "Be ready for anything." Lupin reminded her.
"Okay, let's try again."
After a few hours of practice, and Rose knocking Lupin off of his feet several times, they decided to return to the common room and wait for the others. When they got there they found James and Lily sitting on the couch.
"Hi guys, how was your date." Rose asked after she sat down in a big chair by the fire.
"It was great, nothing went wrong this time, and we had a lot of fun." James replied, a little red in the cheeks.
"I totally agree." Lily said. She also was very red. "What'd you guys do while we were out?"
"We practiced dueling, my grades not that good in Defense Against the Dark Arts. I knocked Moony off his feet a couple of times though!" she smiled.
"Really good job!" Lily said. Then Meghan and Sirius walked into the common room both had rosy cheeks and were breathing heavy.
"How was it guys?" Remus asked.
"It was fun!" Meghan replied excitedly
"Yeah Meghan's really good, James. She got nearly all the balls past me, and I was really trying too!" Meghan smiled as Sirius said this.
"Moony is a good teacher too, I beat him at dueling!" Rose said.
"Well, James is good at kissing." Lily said. They all laughed and James kissed Lily. They all cheered. "I take that back. James is AMAZING!"
It was nearly 6:00pm, the six headed down to the great hall to eat dinner. When they got there they sat down and began eating. When they were half way through their meals Dumbledore got up for an announcement.
"I would like to take this opportunity to introduce the 5 lovely ladies of Beauxbatons! Nicole Peets!" A pretty girl with long brown hair, dark brown eyes, and was about 5 foot 6. "Julie Mohoney!" A girl of about 5 foot 7 with pretty dark brown hair and also had brown eyes made her way over to Nicole. "Emma Engulf!" A girl of about 5 foot 5 with short light brown hair with blonde highlights and grey eyes stood over next to Nicole and Julie. "Emily Awarder!" The girl had blonde, curly hair and bluish/grey eyes and was about 5 foot 6 stood next to Emma. "And Kathleen Perch!" The last girl who was a blonde and had bluish/ green eyes stood next to Julie.
"I hope that we can welcome each girl in a homely matter and make them feel as welcome as possible, now before we can leave the great hall, we must sort the lovely ladies into houses where they will stay for the remainder of the year. First Kathleen Perch."
She walked up and sat down on the stool that The Marauders and Corsairs had sat on five years previous to this one. The sorting hat was place upon her head and almost at once it shouted "SLYTHERIN." She trotted over to where Malfoy sat and plopped down gracefully.
"Okay, sitting next to Malfoy brings her down to a 7." Sirius whispered.
"Are you rating them?" Rose asked.
"Er…yes."
"Okay then…ok what would you rate me? Be honest! You know I can handle anything," Rose said.
"10…"he mumbled.
"How 'bout Meghan?" She asked as Emma and Emily were sorted into Ravenclaw. One had a volcano on her shirt, and another had a clown on her shirt.
"10 ½, I well just cuz she's amazing at Quidditch and…Well…anyway" he said. "You're hot, and all but I promised Moony…oops."
"What? Okay I'll talk to Moony since you 'promised him' Lily?" Rose said.
"9 ¾. She's James' girl. I don't want to interfere."
"Yeah, well, I am going out with Michael… you didn't interfere with me."
"You are?"
"Yeah, well, we just started before break. I'll probably dump him when he gets back."
"Why?"
"Ah, well, there are better guys that are much hotter. Besides he's too short. And there's a guy…"
"Who?"
"Um…what would you rate that new girl Nicole?"
"Answer me."
"Yes, well… I like…Remus. I think. Sorta like I just want him as my best friend. But I just can't be with one guy for too long."
"Well that's good 'cause he likes you."
"Really?"
"Yeah, you know, Kat Geisler asked him to duel her but he said no, he doesn't duel everybody you know." She slapped him playfully.
"I feel so special! But I just told you; I can't be with one guy for more than like 3 days. I'm a whore! You know that! I made out with 3 guys in like an hour!"
"So what? Lily made out with 5 guys in a day before James. Besides, maybe it's going to be different with Moony!" he winked at her jokingly. Again she slapped him.
"What has this arm ever done to you?" he laughed as he rubbed his arm.
"Hm…think about our truth or dare game last year when James dared you to…"
"OH! Right. Well, that was a dare"
After everyone was sorted, Nicki and Julie went to Gryffindor, Kathleen and Emma went to Slytherin and Emily went to Ravenclaw. After the feast Sirius went over and greeted the Beauxbaton guests along with Rose.
It was three days until the ball.
"James, that was the most awkward moment in my life!" Sirius said almost breathless as he walked through the common room door. "Okay so there was this girl who was wearing a sweater, she came up to me and said that she wanted to go to the ball with me, also she said I was hot, Can't totally disagree with that, but then she took off the sweater and there was a shirt that had my picture on it, also it said "I love you Sirius Black!" on it and lastly it had hearts around it. Then she started walking towards me, and said she was my biggest fan. She leaned into kiss me, I think; it was more like… I don't know. But it was weird and I just escaped her! I had to run!"
"Dude, One question, there are all these hot girls coming up to you and asking you to the dance, why don't you say yes?" James asked, "I would!"
Lily looked up from her book, and glared at James. He quickly added to his sentence.
"That is of course, if I didn't already have the hottest girl there is." he said and walked over and kissed Lily. She nodded and went back to her reading. Suddenly Meghan rushed in the doorway to the common room, she was breathing heavy like Sirius.
"GUESS WHAT!" she exclaimed
"What?" Lily, James, Lupin, Sirius, and Rose asked at the same time.
"I just got asked out by someone, and I said yes!"
"Well who is it then?" Lily asked excitedly.
"Let's play 20 questions to figure it out." Meghan suggested.
"Okay is it a guy?" Remus asked.
"No, it's a girl." Meghan said.
"Right on Meghan!" James said.
"Um, ever heard of sarcasm?" Meghan asked.
"Oh good, cuz for a sec I thought you were…well go on."
"Is he in our grade?" Lily asked.
"No."
"Is he hot?" Rose said
"GORGEAOUS!" Meghan exclaimed
"Good cuz that's what really matters." Rose said.
"Next question." Meghan said excitedly.
"What grade is he in?" Remus asked.
"Um, 20 questions mean yes or no!"
"Rem, are you having a bad day?" Lily asked sympathetically.
"Sorry. How 'bout… is he in Ravenclaw?"
"No."
"Hufflepuff?"
"Yes."
"Is it Mark Cohan?" Rose asked.
"No."
"Taye Diggs?"
"Not unless he's cheating on me." Rose said. "I've got a date with him in like half an hour!"
"Congrats!" James said.
"Um, back to me!" Meghan said.
"We give up." Lily said.
"ADAM PASCAL!" Meghan exclaimed.
"YOU'RE SO RIGHT HE IS SO HOT!" Rose exclaimed hugging Meghan. She ran upstairs to get ready for her date.
"Hey Padfoot, Moony, you okay?" Lily asked. They both looked up at her.
"Yeah I'm just tired."
"Me too."
The next day Meghan Lily and Rose went to Hogsmead to buy their dress robes. The guys stayed back in Hogwarts.
"OK, Moony, what is up with you? Ever since Rose mentioned Taye you've been like mister denial here," James said.
"Mister denial? James, that is the stupidest thing I've ever heard!" Sirius snorted. "OK, Remus, we both know that you like her so you don't have to hide it anymore." Remus looked up.
"What?"
"Admit you like her!"
"Ok I do. But she's going out with Taye!"
"Not anymore! She dumped him yesterday after their date," Sirius said. "
"Really?" James said along with Remus.
"Yeah, she tells me everything. She's asking Kevin out now."
"Kevin Jones? The captain of the Quidditch team?" James said.
"Yup!" Sirius said.
"Sirius, that doesn't exactly make me feel better…" Remus sighed.
"Well you know Rose, she's a whore! She's made out with 3 guys in one hour."
"WOAH WHAT?" James said.
"I already told you she tells me everything. So does Meghan."
"What about Lily?" James said suspiciously.
"Nope that's up to you sonny. Anyway, my point is she'll probably dump him after she…er…gets what she wants."
Meghan, Rose, and Sirius were walking down the hall a few days later heading outside to help Meghan practice Quiddich. James and Lily…take a guess, and Remus was studying. Rose would watch while Sirius would play Keeper. While they were walking a young girl turned the corner.
"Oh no! It's that creepy girl." Sirius whispered and dove behind Meghan. "She scares me."
"Hi Sirius." The girl said. "Remember me? Victoria." She batted her eyes.
"Yeah, um, hi." He said, walking back in front of Meghan, trying to catch her eye for help.
"So are you ready to answer my question?" Victoria said still staring at Sirius batting her eyes, not noticing Rose or Meghan. Rose could care less.
"Um, question?"
"Yeah will you go to the ball with me?"
"Uh, you see…well…no."
"No why not." Her voice picked up a little but she stayed calm. "Why, did someone else ask you out?"
"Yeah."
"Did you say yes?"
"Well um…"
"Yes." Meghan interrupted.
"Oh?" she said, "Who's the lucky girl?"
"Well, um…"
"Me." Meghan said quickly and she put her arm around Sirius and rested her head on his shoulder. "Yeah, he asked me out this morning and I said yes." She leaned up and kissed him on the cheek.
"Oh, really. Then how come I heard you screaming up and down the halls yesterday, Adam Pascal asked me out!" Victoria questioned.
Meghan didn't say anything for a moment then said,
"I broke up with him for someone better." Rose looked at her, clearly not paying any attention and said "What?"
"Now excuse me." Meghan walked away with Sirius's hand in hers and Rose on the other side following. As soon as they turned the corner and were out of ear and eyesight Meghan let go of his hand and began to laugh.
"Wow Sirius you have the weirdest people liking you!" Rose laughed with her.
"Thanks Meghan, I owe you one!" Sirius said patting her on the back.
When they got to the fields they found Adam practicing with his friend Collin. When they saw Meghan they both landed and began walking towards them. Meghan ran towards Adam and gave him a big hug. Sirius and Rose were way behind. Sirius looked down.
"What's up?" Rose asked
"Nothing." He said looking up.
"Nothing my butt! Oh my god, you didn't think that Meghan actually was going with you? Did you? I know she's a good actress, believe me, and before we went to Hogwarts her and me did a lot of plays. Like Jacqueline Hyde, I was Ivanna and she was…oh sorry off subject. Anyway, she puts her all into what she does, so no offense but don't take that kiss seriously; it was just her proving that she was going out with you. Sorry."
"No, I don't…I didn't…She isn't…never mind."
"You like her don't you!" Rose said.
"…Well… yeah okay I like Meghan but please don't tell her." He looked over at Meghan, she was flirting with Adam, and he couldn't hear what she was saying because they were too far away. "Besides look how happy she is with him."
"Awwww, you're so romantic, this is just like a movie!" Rose smiled. "Come on let's catch up with Meghan, oh and your secret's safe with me." She pretended to lock up her lips and through away the key.
"Like that's gonna stop you from talking." Sirius laughed as they walked to catch up with Meghan.
"Hey guys!" Meghan said standing close to Adam. "Wanna practice? Adam is staying but Collin is going back so you don't have to be keeper anymore, Sirius. Want to help me be Chaser. Please."
"Okay."
"Let's go."
After practice, Meghan hugged Adam goodbye and followed Sirius and Rose back up to the tower.
"Can you believe the ball is tomorrow?" Meghan asked excitedly.
"Yeah!" Rose said. "I'm so excited! I'm going with Ryan!"
"What, you were going with Kevin yesterday!"
"And Taye the day before!"
"And then…."
"OK I'm going with Ryan. When someone hotter asks me out, of course I'm gonna say yes and break up with the last guy."
Sirius and Meghan looked at each other and rolled their eyes.
"What's the longest relationship you've had?" Sirius asked.
"A month. Tommy."
"Good Job," Meghan congratulated her, "Mine was…um…3 months I think."
"3 months!" Sirius exclaimed. "Who with?"
"Um…I don't remember."
"How don't you remember a person whoyou went out with for 3 months?" Sirius asked.
"I've been out with so many guys it's a wonder how I remember who I'm going out with now." Meghan laughed; they walked through the common Room door and headed up to change.
"Rose are you alright? You seem funny, I guess." Meghan asked as she picked out her clothes and went into the bathroom to change.
"Yeah I guess, I don't know, this year seems a bit funny you know, like something's gonna happen." Rose said.
"Yeah, I felt that too." Meghan said.
"Really? Me too!" Lily said.
When they were done changing they went down stairs, and saw Julie and Nicki sitting on the couch drinking co-co.
"Hello friends!" Meghan said and sat down next to Julie, Rose sat next to Nicki. "My name's Meghan and this is Rose, and this is Lily."
"Hi, I'm Nicki and this is Julie."
"Hello." Julie said.
"Why did you get chosen to come to Hogwarts?" Rose asked
"Well, I don't know really, we just got called up and they said that we were to go to Hogwarts." Julie replied
"Okay, well, have you got the tour yet?" Meghan asked.
"Yes, um…what was his name… oh yes Filch gave us the tour." Nicki said.
"Yeah, he was scary." Julie said.
"I bet, sorry you had to be with him on the tour of Hogwarts." Rose said. Suddenly Sirius, Remus and James walked down the stairs from the boys dorms.
"Julie, Nicki this is Sirius, Padfoot is his nickname, Remus or Moony is his nickname, James, or Prongs is his nickname."
"James is hot." Nicki whispered to Rose.
"Yeah, oh and he's taken." Rose said back to Nicki. "But Sirius and Remus aren't"
"They're hot too!" Julie said quietly.
"Hello ladies." Sirius said practically sitting on Meghan. "How are you this fine day?" he winked at Nicki. "May I interest either of you, in going to the ball with moony, or I"
"Why yes that would be delightful." Julie said imitating him.
"Very well then who shall go with him? Any takers?"
"Me." Julie said. Remus walked over to Julie and sat down next to her. Sirius got off of Meghan and planted next to Nicki.
"You guys are so stupid." Rose said shaking her head. "You can't just say 'Will you go to the ball with me?' You have to make it a scene"
"I think it's cute. But are we're going only as friends' or as Boyfriend and girlfriend? " Nicki said.
"What ever you want." Sirius said
"Well, can we just go as friends, no offense, it's just I haven't known you all that long."
'That's perfectly fine with me." Sirius said.
"I'm hungry let's eat." Lily said standing up and walking to the door, everyone else followed.
