Disclaimer : I own nothing but the plot.

I've decided to include quotes in each chapter. This one is by far one of my most favorite of all time. Don't remember where I got it though.

23/6 10:15 am Victoria Hotel Lobby

"Hey , I couldn't help noticing your scintillating presence . You are by far the most gorgeous creature I have ever laid my eyes on. How would you like to join me for dinner today? You and me, whaddaya say , huh?"

"Sod off , loser."

That was Sirius Black getting what was his sixth rejection in a single day and it was only around 10 in the morning.

"Sure. Your loss, babe."

The young Asian looked at him in disdain and gave him the finger.

You got to admit that Sirius Black was smooth. Even after being shamelessly rejected for the sixth time, he still kept an easy grin on his face.

"Sirius, would you quit it already. Just because you learned the new word "scintillating" today doesn't mean you have to use it in every pick-up line that exists in your dictionary. These people are muggles and perhaps not introduced to a sort of horrendous nightmare that is Sirius.", said Remus in a tired tone. You could tell that he was sick of repeating the same insult over and over again.

The trio, ie including James were in a Hotel where they had a reservation for a single night.

"It's the Asian blood , Im telling you man. More scintillating, feisty lot. ",came Sirius's swift reply. He was now checking out a young attractive woman who looked to be from the Middle East.

"I've never seen a more beautiful bevy of women in my life." , said James, his hazel eyes glinting at the sight of so many attractive women.

"See even Prongs agrees with me. Don't take out your scintillating, homosexual anger on us. Its not our fault you haven't been able to mate yet." , said Sirius.

Remus rolled his eyes and muttered, "Wrong context, Sirius."

Sirius was still making eyes at the same Middle Eastern woman he had eyed earlier.

She spotted him looking at her and nudged a hefty man who was standing next to her. The man turned around and caught Sirius as he was in between one of his dramatic winks. His face turned rather red and he began walking swiftly towards Sirius.

Remus spotted the danger immediately, even though Sirius himself hadn't. He stamped on Sirius's foot and Sirius let out a yell in agony.

"What the hell was that for?"

Too late. The man was already in front of him.

He was not big , he was huge, atleast 7 feet tall. His eyes were narrowed and he looked ready for a fight.

"Would you tell me what you mean by winking at my wife?" , said the man. He spoke in an extremely accented voice , fierce anger evident in his voice.

Sirius didn't reply. He was too busy being intimidated by the guy's size and bulging muscles. He quavered under the sight of the man.

"Well……you see…..Umm…"

"I'm sorry Sir. Has my brother been troubling you?"

"This man your brother.", asked the man looking at James, thinking his brother cant be any better than this man who dared wink at his wife.

"Yes, Sir. Unfortunately. He's ….well…..slightly touched in the head. He had an accident when he was fifteen. He jumped out in front of truck in order to save my life. The doctors tried very hard but there was some very serious brain damage.", replied James in a very disconsolate voice.

"You mean hes mad?"

"Shh….Sir. Please, don't use that word in front of him. The last time somebody called him mad, he broke out into an emotional trauma."

Sirius figured out what James was trying to do and he decided to play along. He fixed a goofy expression on his face and began winking at everyone in sight of both genders, passing suggestive glances at a couple of women.

"He doesn't look mad. He looks like hes just pretending." , said the man, suspiciously.

Sirius heard that and he turned around, regretting what he was about to do.

Its worth not spending the next couple of weeks in St.Mungos.

He pulled Remus towards him and winked at him suggestively. Then before Remus could stop him, Sirius kissed Remus. On the lips. He pulled away almost immediately. The look of extreme disgust on Sirius's face was instantly masked by a look of fondness, the sort of fondness a man has for his dog.

Remus just looked stunned. His entire body was frozen stiff.

James eyes widened at the sight but he immediately masked that with a patronizing look.

"Bad Sirius. How many times have I told you, you do not kiss James's friends? Bad Sirius."

The hefty man's eyes were widened in disgust. He was so revolted by the sight that he left immediately.

"Well…..that's that. So we'll check in shall we?", asked Sirius in an extremely chirpy tone.

"Yup…… I cant wait for a long long shower. That stupid guy smelled like he hadn't showered in months."

Remus was still frozen in position.

10:00 am Victoria Hotel

"Is it just me or is that guy over there checking me out ?"

It was 10 am and both Lily and Clark were at breakfast. Lily, having woken up at 3 had already completed 20 rounds around the track short of her personal best by 2 seconds. After that , she had spent 3 hours working out in the gym, all supervised by Clark. Dreadfully exhausted, she then had a shower and slept for a mere hour, before being dragged down to breakfast.

Now Clark, ever the slave- driver was discussing tactics with her over breakfast.

Clark shifted slightly in his seat so he could look at the guy better. The guy was seated alone at a table , two tables to their right. The guy was good looking having long black hair that fell to his eyes. On sighting Clark glancing at him, the man hastily looked away.

Clark smiled inwardly. Wuss.

He returned his attention to Lily , who was now finishing with her turkey sandwich.

"Aww……you scared him away.", said Lily , laughing.

Clark just smiled smugly.

"So whats next in line, coach?"

"Make it fast, Prongs. I'm worried about Sirius and what some of those men might do if they catch him making a move on their women.", said Remus , in a troubled tone. They were walking swiftly to the Hotels restaurant.

"There he is now.", said James, gesturing to a man sitting at a table at a far corner of the room, who was now waving madly at them. "He seems to be in one piece."

Remus let out a huge sigh in relief.

"Pretty huge place, huh?" , said James, looking round the room. "What do sa………woah!!", said James. He has just stumbled and tripped onto a woman, who was getting out of the restaurant. He ended up falling across the poor woman's tummy. His glasses were lying a short distance away.

James let out a groan. He was helped up by Remus, who was smirking at him.

"I'm terribly sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going.", said James, putting a hand through his hair . He was on the floor, searching for his glasses.

"That's pretty obvious.", replied a woman.

James squinted at her. Although he wasn't wearing glasses , he could make out her wild red hair pulled back in a pony tail. He was raring for a better look.

"You looking for these?", the same voice asked him. She held in her hand , James's glasses.

"Yeah, thanks.". He put them on and glanced at the woman. He felt a breath caught in his throat. The woman had clear ivory skin and flaming red hair. James always liked a woman with dimples. But this woman had the deepest dimple imaginable. But what James liked the most in her was her eyes, a sparkling green, which were now eying him in amusement. She was wearing a white tee shirt having "Learn the rules...Then break em." etched on it and a cream three-fourths. With that figure, she was obviously an athlete.

Smooth, James. Smart way to meet a woman. "Hi! My names James. Sorry for bumping into you like that. Would you like to have a drink?"

Lily was beginning to feel uneasy. Both the men were staring at her. One was more polite that the other and was just giving her a curious glance, but the other, the one who pushed her over was downright rude. He was gaping at her, his mouth slightly open.

Why is he staring at me like that? Do I have something in my teeth? I knew I shouldn't have had corn for breakfast. Damn Clark for always being right!!

The brown haired man broke the silence with a small laugh saying , "James really sorry for bumping into you like that. He isn't that clumsy , well most of the time anyway."

The other man, Lily now realized was called James threw an irritated glance at his friend. He looked at her with a charming smile. "I'm really about that. I really wasn't watching where I was going. I can assure you I don't usually bump into women in restaurants like that." , he said with a small laugh.

I'm not quite so sure about that.

"If you say so."

"So I would like to make it up to you. How about we treat you to dinner tonight ?", James asked, still with that charming smile. Lily didn't like that smile. For some reason they were making her knees feel weak.

"No, its all right. I accept your apologies but I'm quite busy tonight", she was trying to get away. Lily was looking around for Clark. He had needed to go to the loo .

"My names James Potter and this is my friend . Remus Lupin. If we cant take you out to dinner. May we at least know your name?"

Lily tried not to let his surprise show when she heard the name 'James Potter'. She was suddenly interested.

James Potter!! I should have realized. I must have seen like a million photos of him at work but……umm……he looks even better in person. Umm……… Kay was right. He is delicious……… But what is he doing here?? Isnt he playing for England sometime soon at the Quidditch playoffs. He probably thinks I'm muggle. Hmm………I could have some fun with this.. Plus scoop for the Daily Prophet.

"I'm Lily Evans."

"Nice name , Lily. So Lily, what are you doinghere ?" , James asked in his best Sean Connery voice. He tried pulling back his shirt sleeve inconspicuously so she would notice his well- toned muscles.

Ahh………a little more………just a bit more………Damn it, why do I always get tee shirts that are way too tight for me!!!………………………Ahh………Success!!

James looked up with his 24 carat smile to find that she wasn't even looking at him. She was looking somewhere behind James, obviously looking for someone.

"Oh, I'm an participant at the Olympics. Representing England for track events."

"Olympics, huh? We're here for the opening ceremony."

Lily wondered, I wonder how he manages to show all those 32 teeth of his even when hes not speaking. God!! Those eyes, those deliciously hazel eyes. LILY!!! HES EXPECTING YOU TO ANSWER!!!!

"Well, I guess you'll be seeing me then anyway. I gather your English?", asked Lily pulling stray hairs behind her ears.

"Nothing but.", replied Remus. He was rather bored from being excluded from the conversation for so long.

"Well, anyway. I got to be going. I promised my coach I'll do atleast 20 rounds around the stadium before noon."

She gave them a devastating smile. James's knees suddenly felt weak.

"Umm…..when can I ….I mean we, see you again??"

She laughed, a melodious laughter that reminded James of Christmas bells.

"You are persistent , aren't you?". She grinned broadly at him and with that she turned her heel and left, her long hair swaying behind her.

"Oh Wow. Oh Wow. Oh Wow. Oh Wow.", muttered James, still staring at the door through which the red-head had left.

"Oh Wow.", Remus agreed, nodding.

James turned at him sharply. "Oh no you don't, this ones mine."

Remus smirked. "We'll see about that, Prongs."

James just gave him a piercing glare.

"Prongs, Muhooney!!! Over here.", shouted Sirius , ignoring the stares of many irritated people around him.

"Saw you talking to the spitfire. I tried talking to her earlier but her giant ogre of a boyfriend stopped me.

"Talking to her or making a move on her?", asked Remus in a badgering tone. James silenced him with a glance.

"You sure it was her boyfriend ? And not her coach?" , asked James. He put a hand through his hair, frustratedly. "Shes an athlete at the Olympics" , he added at Sirius's quizzical glance.

"Well, hes a pretty boy anyway. You know, that rugged ,handsome type chicks dig. He even had a days growth of beard.",replied Sirius, gorging in his scones. Then he suddenly looked deep in thought and asked, "Guys, do you think I should grow a beard?"

Both James and Remus ignored him.

"So what did you find out about her?"

Remus replied, "Lily Evans, English, Olympics athlete. Devastatingly gorgeous, witty and smart. Does not incline to persuasion."

"Did she have the red-head temper?"

"Well, she didn't seem particularly mad that we bumped in her. But enough about this , you're not going to have a chance with her."

"Oh yeah? Why the hell not?

This time James replied, "Because I'm not going to let you."

"Oh yeah? We'll see about that.", replied Sirius, with an annoying grin.

So what do you think? Good? Bad? Let me know. Btw…. I don't need anyones help in recognizing that I can never make it as an author.
