The rest of the school day went smoothly, the Marauders saving their pranks for later in the year…….like tomorrow.

Hermione, Ginny, Lily and the boys were crowded round the fire in the Gryffindor common room, surprisingly, Lily was actually calling James, James.

"You know you never did tell me what Dumbledore meant when he said pink doesn't really suit the Slytherins," Hermione choked out having laughed so hard as the Marauders told her and Ginny of some of their pranks.

Sirius chuckled and then replied, "well, we managed to get to the Great Hall early during the start of term feast, using Jamsies Head Boy status" (here Lily snorted) "and put a giant bucket of pink goop over the Slytherin table, Moony here then invisblised it and then while Dumbledore was saying his speech we uninvisblised it and flipped over the bucket, therefore covering the Slytherins in pink."

Hermione and Ginny raised their eyebrows and then laughed, Hermione then coughed out, "you do realised 'invisblised' and 'uninvisblised' aren't even words right?"

Sirius turned a pink colour that rivalled the fuchsia that the Slytherins had sported at the beginning of the year, "so?" he muttered, not liking being made fun of.

"It's ok, Sirius dear," Hermione giggled, patting his shoulder, failing to hold in her laughter at his obvious embarrassment.

Sirius poked his tongue out at her and then smiled, "aw, I knew you loved me!"

"Of course Sirius, I can't resist you, take me now," she replied in a flat causing everyone to giggle or chuckle.

Sirius leapt on Hermione causing her to squeal and crash to the floor, taking him with her, he landed on top of her.

"Get off me Black, this is the second time today you've been on top of me, now get off!" Hermione insisted, trying to push him off of her and failing.

"You told me to," he said, a mischievous grin creeping over his face, "so I think I will."

Hermione scowled, "I don't think so, I've only just met you, now move," she said slowly and calmly, ignoring the laughter above them.

"Nah, I quite like it here."

"Lily, James, get him off of me!" Hermione whined when she realised he simply wasn't going to move.

"Nope, this quite entertaining, don't you think James?" Lily smirked, giggles erupting from her.

"Yep, what about you, Remus?" James replied.

"I have to agree, and you Ginny?" Remus grinned.

"Sorry Mione, I just love watching you squirm," Ginny said happily.

"You will all burn in hell and I disown you Ginerva Franks now-" Hermione was cut off as Sirius kissed her, her eyes widened in shock and she froze, gasps and "oooooooohs!" were heard.

Sirius pulled away, "you know, I think that's the first time I've kissed a girl and she never kissed back."

"I'm glad I could be the first," Hermione said, trying to regain her composure (which is kinda hard with a guy lying on top of you and you've just been kissed, not to mention hot guy), "now, move."

Sirius complied, still confused as to why she didn't kiss back, he thought she liked him, heck every girl liked him, he sighed as he watched the girls leave for their dormitories.

"I knew you liked her!" James cheered as the girls disappeared, "you owe me five galleons Moony!"

Moony muttered something under his breath while Sirius watched wide eyed, "you two made a bet?!" he asked incredulously, as he saw Remus had over five shiny coins to James.

"Well, you kept ogling at her in Potions, then in Transfiguration, then at lunch, it was the same at breakfast now you come to think of it and at dinner too and you simply wouldn't stop staring at her tonight," James said thoughtfully, grin still in place.

Remus saw Sirius wasn't exactly happy and guessed it was because he thought Hermione didn't like him, "I'm sure she was just shocked that you just kissed her in front of well everyone and you know there's the fact that she barely knows you, but I'm sure it'll work out, Padfoot mate."

"Your right, I'll just leave her time to mull it over, she obviously knows that I like her now," Sirius said, burying his face in his hands, while Remus thought Score, I'm always right!

"You know, Moony, I think you like a certain Miss Franks, the younger one," James said hurriedly as Sirius glared at the werewolf.

"What, I've only just met her and well, she's a year younger than me, well what do you know anyway Prongs?" Remus snapped, cursing himself for being so obvious.

"You have the same symptoms as Mr Padfoot here," James said in an all knowing voice.

"You mean the same as you, staring after the said girl with hearts in your eyes?" Sirius said, barely repressing a grin.

"Well, you're doing exactly the same thing with Hermione!" James argued.

"And Moony over here is doing the same with Ginny," Sirius smiled, "I say it's time for Operation Matchmaker, Prongs ol' pal."

"I agree," James replied, ignoring Remus' protests, "we'll do that after your Matchmaking, right Moony?"

Remus smirked, "certainly, Mr Prongs, certainly."

Sirius glared at them, the trio unaware a very similar conversation was going on in the girls dorms…….

In the Girls Dorms

"I can't believe Sirius just kissed you like that!" Ginny squealed as soon as the door had shut, "and I also can't believe you didn't kiss back, I'm very ashamed in you!"

"Oh shut up, Gin," Hermione snapped back, sitting down on the bed, "I was so surprised, one second I was shouting at you guys, the next he was kissing me, I was just so…shocked."

Lily patted her back, "don't worry, those Marauders never give up, James has been asking me out for years, never give up," she laughed, sitting next to Hermione.

"Yeah, but Hermione likes him back," Ginny said, an evil grin upon her face.

"Well, you like Remus!" Hermione retorted, satisfied as Ginny went a bright red colour.

"Don't be ridiculous," Ginny mumbled, her face the same colour as her hair, "Lily likes James!"

Lily just laughed, "I have avoided the, 'Potter charm', as he likes to call it for years, and I still can," she said smoothly, though neither girl missed the pink patches that appeared on her usually pale skin.

"Hah, I'm right!" Ginny said triumphantly, doing a victory dance.

Lily then did a mirror of Ginny's evil grin, "then I say it's time for Operation Matchmaker, what do you say Hermione?"

Hermione mocked being thoughtful for a while, "I do agree with you Miss Evans."

"Good, we'll start Ginny's Matchmaker….right after yours," Lily smiled, watching Hermione's jaw drop.

"You can't do that," she protested (a lot of protesting and evil grins today huh?).

"You wanna bet?" Ginny said, her eyes narrowing maliciously, the evilness never leaving her face.

"I thought only Slytherins were meant to be evil," Hermione muttered, rummaging through her trunk to find her pyjamas.

"Well, we can be, but not often," Lily laughed, "we'll begin tomorrow."

"Aw man," Hermione groaned, flopping into bed, but smiled as she relived the memory of Sirius' lips on her, they really were quite soft….

AN: I'm sorry it's so short, I ran out of ideas, next chappie up soon!!
