A/N: I'm starting classes tomorrow so I don't know how often I'll be updating. But I'll try my best to do it as often as I can. I'm typing up something on Quizilla, so I've got that and this. So sorry in advance if it takes a while for them to come out. On with the story.

Disclaimer: Not mine, unfortunately. They be J.K.'s -sigh- I've invited them to tea, we're having a gay ol' time

"I'm going to go find Lily," James said randomly. "I haven't asked her out in," he looks at his watchless wrist, "two hours. I'll meet you guys at Madame Puddifoot's." He ran back to the castle.

'Now if I were Remus and Snivelus, where would I go?' he thought to himself. 'Ah ha! The library.' He quickly made his way there.

When James entered the large silent room he swiftly made his way to where he thought Remus would be. 'There they are' when he spotted them.

He walked up to the table where his friend and his arch-nemesis were sitting and sat down. Remus and Snape both looked up at him, surprised that he wasn't hanging out with the others.

"Hey, Prongs," greeted Remus. "Why aren't you at Hogsmeade?"

James turned his whole body to his friend and replied, "You remember how you're the only one who can understand Sirius?" Remus nodded with a raised eyebrow. "Well, I was thinking that maybe you could accompany them so Angela can understand him," he said with a smile.

"You want me to go with Sirius on his date?"

James shook his head, "If I remember correctly, it's not an official date. He's just helping her with…something."

Remus just gave him a skeptical look. "I don't think so, Prongs. I was going to spend the day with Severus." He gestured to the forgotten boy who gave James a wicked grin.

'Maybe Sirius was right.' James returned his attention to Remus, "Why would you want to spend the day with this slimey git?"

"Because, James," said an irritated Remus, "He's my friend."

"He can't be your friend. He's a Slytherin!"

"Just because I'm a Slytherin doesn't mean that we can't be friends," interrupted Snape. James turned his head to the boy and gave him a death glare, but Snape didn't even flinch.

"I wasn't talking to you, you slimey git."

Snape stood up pulling out his wand and James did the same. Remus shot up and pulled Snape's arm down. "Guys, don't fight. Remember what happened last time that happened?" All three boys gave an involuntary shudder. "Let's discuss this like adults? Or at least sixth years?"

Snape sat down and James, not wanting to be out done, sat down too. Remus stayed standing until he was certain that they wouldn't attack each other. "Like I said, I was planning on spending the day with Severus. Sirius doesn't really need me."

James looked at Remus and gave him a look that clearly said 'Do-you-really-think-so?' "I can't even understand him. And he lives with me." He tries to scoot closer to Remus but can't because of the table. "Besides you get to spend the entire day with him."

"Yeah, I get to watch him and a girl snog the entire day. Just how I wanted to spend my Saturday."

"Oh come on Moony. He's your friend! He needs you," James tried to put extra emphasis on the word 'needs' to try and get a different point across, but it seemed that it didn't work.

Remus thought about it for a moment and came up with an idea. "I'll do it if I can bring Severus with me." James stared at him with a stunned expression. Remus, ignoring him, turned to Snape. "Want to go with me?"

"Although I hate spending any extra time with Black, I do like to see him suffer."

"No. No no no no!" interrupted James. 'This is not how it was supposed to go.'

Remus turned back to James, "Sorry. But I'm not in the mood to watch Sirius eat another girl's face off. I'll help if Severus can come."

'Shit' James gave his death glare to Remus, who also didn't flinch, and gave in. "Fine!"

Sirius and Peter were waiting for James when Angela showed up.

"Hi Sirius!" she exclaimed. She turned to Peter and held out her hand, "Hi, I'm Angela Combs."

Peter shook her hand, "I'm Pe-."

She interrupted him, "Oh, don't be silly. I know who you are. You're Peter Pettigrew. It's very nice to finally meet you." She turned to Sirius and grabbed his arm. "Ready to go?"

Sirius gave Peter a worried look and then looked at her, "Hu…ton tey."

She looked up at him, "What did you say?"

"I think he said 'No'," Peter tried to help. Sirius looked back up at Peter and pointed to his nose.

Angela looked at Peter, "What does that mean?"

"That's a charade gesture. It means I got it right."

She looked back at Sirius, "What are we waiting for?"

"Semaj. Eh dna Ylil era desoppus ot teem su ereh."

She let go of Sirius' arm and turned her whole body to look at him. "What did you say?"

"He said," everyone looked to see James, Remus, and Snape coming towards them, "'James. He and Lily are supposed to meet us here.'" Remus looked at James. "But apparently he didn't see her." Remus whispered to James, "What are you planning?"

James ignored him and walked over to Peter. "Well, I...uh…couldn't find her. So I went to look for Moony. And I found him. See?"

Peter gave James a questioning look, "Yeah, we see James. But why is Sniv-."

James interrupts by 'remembering' that he needs some new pranks. "Come on, Pete. You can help me pick some out." Without another word he pulled Peter towards Zonko's Joke Shop.

"What are we doing?" asked Peter.

"We're giving them space," James answered as he continued to pull the boy to the joke shop.

"But why? And why did you bring Moony and Snivelus? I thought it was a date."

James stopped suddenly and looked at Peter. "It wasn't supposed to end up like that. I went to find Remus so he could 'help' them on their date. Angela was supposed to get fed up and leave. And then Pads and Moony were supposed to be alone and having fun! But when I went to find Remus he wouldn't agree to help with the 'date' without Snivelus."

"So what does that mean?"

"That means," James said with a devious smile, "That we have to get Snivelly away from the other three."

--

"Well. That was very sudden," says Angela. "So I guess it's just going to be us, huh?" She gave Sirius was lovely smile.

Before Sirius could say anything about her not understanding him, Remus beat him to it. "How are you supposed to know what he's saying?"

She looked at the boy questioning her, "Oh. Why don't you join us? You can too, Severus."

Snape gave her a smile, "I would love too. How about you Remus?" He turned to the boy.

Remus looked at Sirius, who gave him a pleading look. "I'd be glad to help the cute couple," he said through clenched teeth. He turned away before Sirius gave him a questioning look. "Where did you need to go today, Angela?"

She gave him a smile, "I need to buy my brother a birthday gift. He was a seventh year when you guys were in fifth year. He thought you guys were hilarious. I wanted to get him the perfect gift this year." She turned to Sirius, "I was hoping that you could help me."

"Neht yhw did uoy tnaw ot teem ereh?" Angela looked at Remus.

"He said: 'Then why did you want to meet here?'"

"Because, I just finished lunch with my boyfriend. He went somewhere with his friends."

"Uoy evah a dneirfyob?"

"'You have a boyfriend?'"

"Of course I do. Did you think this was an actual date? Silly." She takes his hand and pulls him forward.

Snape and Remus exchange glances as they follow the pair.

--

"What are you planning on doing?" asked Peter.

"We're going to do the most obvious thing in the world, Worm."

"Oh," he paused. "And what would that be?"

James looked at Peter with a disbelieving look. "We're going to get Snivelly to chase us."

"Oh. Does he have to chase both of us?"

"Yes. Yes he does."

--

The other four found their way to a muggle joke shop. "Siht skool ekil a doog ecalp ot trats," says Sirius. When no translation came, both Sirius and Angela looked back to Remus. He and Snape were engrossed in a conversation and hadn't heard what was said.

Sirius clears his throat to get Remus' attention. But instead he got Snape's. Snape looked at Sirius and then pointed to him. Remus looked up, "What did you say Siri?"

Sirius repeated his self, "He said: 'This looks like a good place to start'," Remus translated. He smiled and turned back to Snape.

'Grr…,' thought Sirius, 'Why did he have to show up? Why am I doing this? Why won't he pay attention to me?'

They entered the joke shop and split into two groups. Snape and Remus in one and Angela and Sirius in another.

After a half hour of looking Angela finally found the perfect gift for her brother. "And I promised you lunch. Where did you want to go?"

"Eht Eerht Skcitsmoorb," Sirius answered. "Yeht evah doog doof."

Remus translated, "He wants to go to The Three Broomsticks. He says they have good food." Sirius pointed to Remus and, reluctantly, to Snape.

Angela gave them both a smile and said she buy their lunch too. The four students were on their way there when James and Peter ambushed them.

The two boys stood in front of Snape and threw different hexes at him. When they were done his pants were down past his knees, his hair was a bright yellow color and spiked, and he had 'Gryffindor's #1"written on his forehead. There was more but Remus couldn't see it all. As soon as they were done shouting, James and Peter ran away. Snape pulled up his pants and chased them.

The three remaining teenagers watched them run away. "Aren't you guys going to do anything to stop them?" asked Angela. Sirius just shook his head and Remus said no. They continued their way to The Three Broomsticks.

When they got there Angela looked at the clock. "Oh! It's almost 2. I need to meet one of my friends back at school."

Sirius looked at her, "Tahw tuoba hcnul?"

Before Remus could open his mouth Angela handed Sirius more than enough money to pay for lunch. She got on her tip toes and kissed him on the cheek. She then turned to Remus and did the same. "Bye guys! Have fun." She waved bye to them and left.

Remus looked at Sirius who just shrugged. They got a table towards the back and sat down.

As soon as they sat down, their waiter showed up. "Hi. My name is Josh. What can I get you guys to start off with?"

Remus gave Sirius a quick look and ordered two butterbeers. "Those will be right up." He gave Remus a quick smile, who blushed in return.

"Yhw did uoy gnirb Sulevins?" Sirius asked abruptly.

Remus gave a shrug, "Like I told James earlier. I didn't want to watch you and some girl snog the afternoon away. So I invited Severus along."

"I t'ndluow od taht," he retorted. "Sulp, ti t'nsaw neve a etad."

"How was I supposed to know it wasn't a date? That's what is sounded like."

By now Josh had come up with their butterbeers, "What can I get the cute couple to eat?"

'Could he be any more obvious?' thought Sirius.

"We're not together," said Remus.

At this, Josh raised his eyebrows, "I'm sorry. I just thought that you to were on a date. I thought I heard one of say the word."

"We thought he," Remus pointed to Sirius, "was on a date but the girl just needed help buying a gift."

Josh turned to Sirius, "That was thoughtful of you." He turned back to Remus, "Why did you have to go with him?"

"Sirius has some…throat issues. We figured it would be a lot easier if I want with them instead of him straining his voice." Remus felt Sirius kick him under the table, and he shot him a glare.

"You're a nice guy, huh?" He turned back to Josh.

"That's what my friend's tell me. But I don't see it."

"Oh, come on! You spent your Saturday following your friend and a girl around. And I bet you didn't ask for anything in return."

When Josh said this Sirius gave a rude chuckle. Josh and Remus turned to look at him.

Josh looked back at Remus, who was still glaring at Sirius. "Did you ask for something?"

When Remus turned back to Josh he had a sheepish smile on. "I didn't ask for anything. But I said I wanted to bring someone along."

When Josh heard this he backed up a little, Remus finally noticed that they had been moving closer to one another. "You brought your boyfriend," it was a statement, not a question.

"No!" Remus said a little too loudly. He turned to Sirius, "Severus is just a friend." Sirius looked down at the table with a blush. "I'm actually single."

Josh lit up when he heard this. "That's great!" When Remus looked up at him he continued, "I wanted to ask you out."

"You don't even know my name," said Remus with a little smile.

"Then why don't you tell me your name," Josh asked him, matching his smile.

"I could tell you my name is Remus Lupin. But then that wouldn't be fair."

"How is that not fair?" Josh asked him.

"Because. I don't know you're last name."

"I see the predicament. How about I tell you my name then." Josh stuck out his hand, "My name is Josh DeLance. What's your name?"

Remus shook his hand, "My name is Remus Lupin."

"Well, Remus Lupin. Would you like to go on a date with me?"

Remus smiled at this and was about to answer when he felt another kick from under the table.

He shot a look at Sirius, "Stop that!" he hissed. Sirius pointed to his stomach. "Fine." Remus looked at Josh and gave him an apologetic look.

Josh just smiled and let go of his hand and grabbed the pencil and pad he had placed on the table, "What can I get you guys?"

Remus turned to Sirius who pointed to something on the menu. "We'll get two of these," he said as he pointed to a chicken dinner. "Great that'll be right back." Josh left them to go place the order.

"I t'nod ekil taht yug," Sirius huffed out.

Remus, who was watching Josh, turned to Sirius. "Why not? He was very nice."

"Eh demussa uoy erew yag. Taht saw edur."

"Well, I don't think that. And when he gets back I'm going to say yes to the date."

Sirius looked at Remus with stunned look. "Tub…tub…uoy t'nod wonk mih! S'eh a regnarts!"

"So you want me to get to know him better?"

"Sey."

"Like I can do on a date?"

"On."

Remus rolled his eyes, "What's the real reason why you don't want me to date him?"

Sirius mumbled under his breath. Remus leaned in closer, "Sorry. Didn't catch that."

Sirius looked Remus in the eye and blurted out, "I kniht I ekil uoy."
