Hello all! Maybe I should have mentioned previously that I do not own Hogwarts and it's characters? Hmm? Well, I don't, so please don't sue :D This chapter is introducing a new character who Sirius is after, since he seems to be the only one without a girlfriend. She hasn't been mentioned before, so don't go searching through my last chapters and screaming at me that she's completely out of thin air :D I hope you like it alright though, it's an alright chapter I suppose. xxxNoemiexxx Review when you're done!

Notes in Muggle Studies

S- Hey Nikki.

N- It's Nicole.

S- Nicole then. How are you?

N- I'm fine.

S- Want to know how I'm doing?

N- Not particularly.

S- I'm fine too, in love, but fine.

N- Is this where I am supposed to ask you who you're in love with?

S- I'm glad you asked me my little sugar muffin, because the answer to that question…is you.

N- Oh Joy.

S- I'm glad you feel that way about it, how about dinner tonight?

N- How about no?

S- If you refuse then I'll just kidnap you. We can do this the hard way, or the easy way.

N- Or I could put my hand up and tell Professor Clarkson that you are harassing me and then you get a week's detention.

S- That too.

N- Kindly leave me alone.

S- God she's hot.

J- And so not into you mate.

S- Is that…Is that Lily I hear? Telling the world that her boyfriend is actually a complete idiot?

R- I don't hear anything.

S- Way to take his side!

R- Calm yourself Sirius, I couldn't care a less what you two are discussing, let alone take sides.

J- …I liked it better when you simply took my side.

L- Sirius, how did you hear me saying that? I could have sworn I said it quietly!

J- Lily!

L- I'm only teasing, James.

S- Even your girlfriend agrees with me Prongs.

J- Honestly Lily, we've been going out for a week now! Show me some love and take my side for once.

L- Fine James, I'll show you my love.

S- I can't believe she's kissing him in the middle of class.

R- I can't believe Professor Clarkson isn't noticing this.

J- Well…That was officially the best ten second snog of my life. Thank you very much Lily.

L- You're welcome James.

S- I wish Nicole would kiss me in the middle of class.

R- Never going to happen, Padfoot.

S- And why the hell not?

J- Because she hates you.

S- But why?

R- It is so typical of you to forget when you've hexed a girl's hair bright pink.

S- Shit! That was her??

J- Yep, on the train last year.

S- Oh fuck.

L- I'm sure she's over it by now.

J- I mean, how long did it take for you to forgive me after I set your Potions essay on fire?

L- That was YOU?!

J- …No?

S- Anyway! What can I do to get her to like me?

R- Something sappy, like flowers.

S- Not my style, she'd see right through it.

R- Well…Is there anything 'deep' you would do for a girl?

S- Let her be on top?

R- Sirius!!

S- What?! To me that's deep and it shows that I care!

R- I give up with you.

J- Lily, I'm sorry!

L- I'd worked on that essay for a week! A WEEK!

J- It was a spell gone wrong!

L- Why doesn't that surprise me?

S- That's the second time in class they've kissed.

R- Keeping count are we? You sick child.

S- You know you love it Remy.

N- Lily? What's that thing muggles use to dry their clothes? Like the washing machine but for drying?

S- Hey there-

N- No.

L- It's called a dryer.

N- Figures. I'd completely forgotten, thanks Lily.

L- Is there a particular reason why you are staring at me, Sirius?

S- You're friends with her and you never thought to tell me??

L- How does my friendship with Nicole have anything to do with you?

S- You can tell her all these nice things about me! And then she will say yes when I next ask her out!

L- I am not getting involved in one of your demented schemes, Sirius Black.

S- Come one! Please?

L- No.

J- Go on Lily. Do it for me. He's my best friend and he's in love with her. Do it for your beloved boyfriend whose madly in love with you.

L- No.

J- Lily!

S- Please!

J- Go on, just this once!

S- Please, please, please, please, please!

L- God, alright! It won't work though.

S- Be convincing.

L- Hey Nicole.

N- Hi Lily, what's up?

L- Nothing much, Muggle Studies just really bores me.

N- Same here, I don't see the point in it.

L- So I was talking to Sirius earlier. Has he already asked you out today?

N- Yep. I swear, if he asks me out one more time this week I will hex him with every curse I know which is barely legal.

L- Sounds like what James used to do.

N- It worked for him though, or are you just kissing him in the heat of an argument?

L- No, unfortunately I was forced to give in.

J- I read that.

L- Good for you.

N- So what's it like to be dating one of the Hexers, as we like to call them in Ravenclaw.

L- To be honest its one of the best things to have ever happened to me.

N- I wish I could find someone to feel that way about.

L- You never know, single today, taken tomorrow.

N- 'Laughs'. I hope you're right, I'm tired of waiting for Mr. Right to come along and say those damn three bloody words.

L- I know how you feel. Oh God, Clarkson is eyeing us up again. Don't look at him!

N- You'd think the somewhat older professor would realize that his students aren't interested, wouldn't you?

L- Well he is pretty good-looking for seventy eight years old.

N- 'Laughs'.

S- Is she in love with me yet?

L- No, but I think I might know a way to change that.

R- A memory charm?

L- Do what James did.

J- Huh?

R- You really do have a way with words don't you James?

J- Wha?

R- Exactly.

L- Stop talking to her, the whole ignoring thing where you don't constantly ask her out or flirt with her.

S- Oh, you mean the James plan.

L- If that's what he's calling it, then yes.

J- It was a clever plan you have to admit.

S- I can do that, I can control myself. I'm not some sort of sex-crazed animal who has to flirt with anything in a skirt. Course I'm not…

R- You keep telling yourself that mate.

L- If you really like Nicole then this is the only way you have even the smallest chance with her. And this better not be all for the sake of a one-night-stand.

S- It's not, I assure you.

L- Good- Oh God, Clarkson's seen the note!

J- Fuck! Rip it up!

R- Why do we always seem to get caught passing notes in class?

J- I don't know my clever little Remus.

S- Shit! I just stabbed myself with my quill!

J- He's taking his time hobbling over here.

R- His cane was stolen last week.

S- We really should give that back.

"Well, well, well. Look what we have here…"

R/R Please! Thanks very much for reading :D 'Laughs' just means that they are laughing, they don't actually write the word 'laughs'. :D Review please xxxNoemiexxx
