A/N: In this story I will be using music from all different times since I have no idea what they listened to back then.
"Oh my gosh I can't believe you said yes!"
"I thought we were going to drag this out a little longer?"
"It's a risk we're going to have to take." Willow interrupted Zara and Rebecca's protests. "Iris will just have to take things really slow, and make sure to keep him interested." She said simply.
"And how are we going to do that?" Zara said.
"Yeah, if we knew how to keep him interested, we would still be dating him." Rebecca mumbled.
They were all a little disgruntled by the fact that Sirius had broken up with him the week after he had asked me to Hogsmeade.
"Well, we'll just have to figure it out as we go along." Willow said. "Right now, we need to concentrate on finding her an outfit to wear to the Gryffindor Celebration Party."
"True," Zara said, looking into Willow's closet. "Which reminds me, we are so sneaking into Hogsmeade to find you some new clothes."
She pulled me out a pale pink strapless, tight-fighting blouse with a white mini-skirt. "Um . . . don't you think this is a little, er- revealing?" I said crossing my arms in front of me, covering myself up.
"Please," Rebecca pushed me towards the mirror in our dorm. "You look gorgeous."
"Gorgeous? More like a Sex Goddess." Rebecca said, spinning me around.
A pale pink blush lighted my cheeks.
"Great! Now we don't have to put on any blush!" Zara said happily.
"And stop covering yourself up, you look more ridiculous hiding than in that outfit." Willow snapped pushing my arms away from my body. "Now Rebecca, take her to the Gryffindor Common Room." She demanded.
Rebecca rolled her eyes at being ordered about, but grabbed my arm and led me outside the door and to the Gryffindor Common Room.
When we walked in, the party was in full swing. Everybody was either getting smashed, dancing, or making out in a corner. I had to say, it was definitely different from what the Ravenclaw parties were, which was pretty much gossiping in small circles with your friends while music played.
"Wow," I managed to say.
"Yeah, Gryffindors are quite the partiers." Rebecca said, "Now if you will excuse me, I have to go get drunk so I can find a hot guy to snog."
"Why do you have to be dunk to do that?" I asked her.
"So they'll be good-looking, duh." She said simply, before leaving me.
Luckily, it wasn't long before someone pushed through the crowd towards me. "Iris," I smiled smugly, liking the outfit much more when Sirius's eyes widened. Not to mention he became very distracted looking at a certain area of my body.
"Sirius," I snapped my fingers in front of his face. "My eyes are up here." I said grabbing his chin and tilting it upward.
He shook his head like a wet dog before grinning, "Sorry, I was distracted by how well that color compliments your skin tone."
I grinned, "Nice save."
He smiled back, "Why don't you go sit down and I'll get us some butterbeers?"
"All right," I glanced around and found Remus sitting on the couch downing some sort of drink at a rather quick rate. "Hey Remus," I said sitting next to him. "Are you all right?" I asked noticing the dark circles under his eyes.
"Ah! Iris!" He wrapped an arm around my shoulder. "You look absolutely ravishing! And I am absolutely -" He hiccupped. "Fine."
I couldn't help but laugh. "A drunk Remus Lupin, that is something I never expected to see."
"I am not drunk; I just need something to drown away the sorrows." Remus said, taking another swig.
"Sorrows? For what? I thought this was a celebration?"
Remus just mumbled something under his breath.
"Seriously, Remus, what's wrong? You can tell me."
He paused for a moment, before finishing his bottle in one giant gulp. "Well, there's this girl -"
I raised my eyebrows. I had never seen Remus talk to any girl really besides Lily.
"I always through she was pretty, but I never really thought about it you know?"
I nodded my head even though I was trying very hard to understand what he was saying through his slurs.
"And now someone else likes her, and I have no chance." He said simply.
"Awww Remus don't say that." I said patting his arm. "Just because someone else likes her doesn't mean she likes him."
"You don't know how the guy is; she would never choose me compared to him." Remus said, shaking his head.
"Remus," I said, squeezing his arm, "any girl would be crazy not to like you okay?" I told him. "You're a great person, and an even greater friend. I say go for it, you never know, she might surprise you."
"Moony, are you trying to steal my girl?" Sirius said as he slid in beside me.
Remus mumbled something under his breath. "I need some more firewhiskey." He said, standing up and leaving us.
"What was that about?" Sirius asked me, handing me a bottle of butterbeer.
"I'm not completely sure, something about him liking a girl, he was slurring a lot." I said.
"Moony? Liking a girl? He hasn't said anything like that to me . . ." Sirius said, watching his friend carefully as he popped open another bottle.
I shrugged, "maybe he's intimidated by you."
"Why would he be intimidated by me?" Sirius asked.
"Because you don't have to work to pick up girls," I said simply.
"Well, I had to work to get you to come on a date with me." He said.
I shrugged, "a little work never hurt anyone." I said.
Sirius sent me a small smile, before standing up. "Hopefully, I won't have to work anymore after I show you my awesome dance skills." He said, reaching for my hand with a bow.
I rolled my eyes at his obvious attempt at charming me, but placed my hand in his anyway and let him pull me off the couch. The version of "Sway" by Michael Bublé began to play on the radio, and with a fast motion that made my head spin, Sirius pulled me tight against his chest and began to mambo.
"You know how to mambo?" I said with wide eyes.
"Pureblood children learn how to dance everything." Sirius replied spinning me around. "One of the only things it turns out I can be thankful for learning in my childhood."
His grey eyes became darker and he looked away from me staring at something in the distance for a moment. "That's kind of a touchy subject for you isn't it?" I said.
"Yeah, definitely too deep for a first date," he said simply.
"Who says this is a first date?" I said with raised eyebrows.
"Me," Sirius said.
I laughed, "Sirius, if you want a date, you're going to have to do a lot better than this." I told him.
His eyes widened in shock. "Are you serious?"
"No, that's your name remember?" I said with a smirk.
He rolled his eyes, "that joke got old by the end of first year."
"You walked into it, but yes, you are going to have to do better than this." I said.
He smirked, "I love a challenge."
"Sirius, I am completely exhausted, it's two in the morning, and I really need to go." I said as "Hot Patootie – Bless My Soul" from the Rocky Horror Picture Show ended.
"One more dance?" Sirius whispered huskily in my ear, deliberately pressing his lips against the side of my face.
He was definitely good at that, but I put my hands on his chest and pushed him away slightly. "No, I really have to go."
"Well, will you at least let me walk you to your common room this time?"
I shook my head, "you're not a Prefect, you can get in trouble, and I on the other hand can say I'm doing patrols."
"I've got a way around that." Sirius said with a smirk, "wait right here." Sirius said, leaving my side to run over to James.
I spun around looking to see who all was still awake and saw Remus, passed out on the couch an empty bottle in his hand. I smiled slightly and walked over to him, picking up his jacket from the floor and tucking it on top of him, brushing the hair out of his face slowly. You know, I had never really noticed how cute he was before. Most people would be turned off by the scars that marred his face, but I just thought they made him more endearing. His good looks were less subtle than Sirius's, but they were definitely there.
"You ready to go?" said a voice from behind me.
I turned around quickly, a slight blush on my cheeks, which I quickly hid by asking, "What's that?" pointing to the silvery cloak in his arm.
He just grinned, "You'll see." He said, grabbing my hand and pulling me outside the portrait hole.
"Sirius, what are you doing?" I said as he threw the cloak over us. "Oh my goodness, this is an Invisibility Cloak!" I said in shock.
He covered my mouth with his hand. "Shhh! You don't want to get us caught do you?" He whispered in my ear.
I shook my head and he took his hand off my mouth.
We made it to the Ravenclaw Common Room without any real close calls except for one with Filch. "Well, I guess this is goodnight." I said, turning to face Sirius under the cloak.
He pouted, "Do I not get a kiss goodnight?"
I sighed, "I guess."
He grinned widely and leaned closer, closing his eyes.
I quickly kissed his cheek. "Goodnight Sirius," I said pushing the cloak off of me and answering the riddle to get in the Common Room.
