Oblivious

Alice/Frank

Alice sighed and stared at Sirius doing his utmost to impress an oblivious Remus Lupin, only for Remus to pat his arm, as a boy would pet an over-excited dog.

What was wrong with men?

She pulled her small mirror from her pocket, running a hand through her hair, and checking her eyes, hoping no make-up had smudged. She was trying something new with her hair and make-up, taking extra care, and hoping Frank, the handsome seventh year (and her best friend) would notice her in more than a 'lets study, and yes I mean study, rather than get my hand up your skirt in the back of the library' kind of way.

Did he ever consider that maybe she wanted him to put his hand up there? Why was he such a gentleman?

She sighed. The most she had gotten was their knees touching when Frank had insisted on reading her a fascinating article from his book, his eyes wide with delight at the spell or the information, and she could only mirror the smile and wish that she was the one that fascinated him so.

"Alice," he said, the bag hitting the table with a thud, making her jump. "Do you fancy studying with me after classes? I have a horrible potions assignment and I need your help!"

Alice turned her kohl lined eyes on him and fixed him with her best, most alluring smile. "And what do I get out of it?" she asked, trying to sound flirtatious like she had heard Lily Evans do in the past.

"You'd be helping your best friend pass potions and not fail, so he can become an Auror next year," Frank whined, unaffected by anything Alice was offering.

She sighed. "Sure. I'll see you up there."

"Thanks, Alice. You're the best," he announced, ruffling her hair, grabbing his bag and disappearing.

It was only a minute before the seat next to her was occupied.

"Men?! Am I right?" Sirius asked.

She nodded, glumly. "If it makes you feel any better, your muscles look great. and Remus should really notice."

Sirius nodded slowly. "Your hair looks pretty and so do your eyes."

"Why don't they notice?" Alice muttered.

Sirius merely shrugged. "For some unknown reason, they are oblivious to our beautiful looks! I'd have to walk around the dorm-room naked to get his attention... actually, I haven't tried that."

"I can't really walk around the library naked," Alice grumbled.

"No, but you can be found by Frank in the library in a very compromising position, one intended to make him jealous?" Sirius offered.

"And when I'm studying with Remus, I'll mention how sexy you are, and hasn't he noticed how good you smell?"

"Alice, I think this is the start of something beautiful. I think we're going to make a great team."

"If it works."

"It'll work," Sirius offered, confidently. "Have faith in the plan." He glanced up the table. "Quick, Remus is looking. Pass me your mirror! How's my hair?"
