Sirius was quiet all through Defense Against the Dark Arts. In fact, he was quiet almost the whole day, which, I must say, slightly worried me. If Sirius is quiet, I don't think there's any good that can come from it.

"So, he hasn't said anything?" Zara asked me as we slipped our cloaks on.

We were about to sneak into Hogsmeade to go buy some decent clothes. I was a little freaked out about it, but Rebecca assured me girls did this all the time.

"Well, yeah. He said something occasionally, usually compliments, but less than usual. It was kind-of weird."

"You don't think he's losing interest, do you?" Zara asked Willow. "Maybe she turned him down too many times and now he doesn't care."

"Definitely not," Willow said, looking both ways before we exited the Ravenclaw Common Room. "I just think he's trying to find a way to convince Iris to go with him."

"You know, Sirius has been interested in her for a month now, and they're not even dating. We must be doing something right." Rebecca said simply.

"Exactly," Willow said, looking around carefully. By this time we were at a statue of a witch, and to my surprise, Willow opened the back of the witch and climbed in, gesturing for the rest of us to follow her.

It turns out it was a secret passageway that lead us to Honeydukes cellar.

After we had safely exited Honeydukes, they all lead me to a remote section of Hogsmeade beside Madame Puddifoots that was the current clothing store for fashionable females.

"Ah! Ms. Willow, Ms. Zara and Rebecca! It's lovely to see all of you! But, I don't think I know your friend?" The owner said when we walked in.

"Sis, this is Iris, the one I told you about?" Rebecca said.

"Wait- She's your sister?" I asked in disbelief.

"Of course," Rebecca said.

"How do you think she always has such cute clothes?" Her sister teased, spinning Rebecca around, showing off her silver short sleeved shirt with lace on the bottom and some casual black pants.

I blushed.

"We all ready have some clothes in a dressing room for you since Rebecca warned me ahead of time," Her sister said, pulling me towards a dressing room, "we're just going to try a few things first and see what we think so we can get a feel of your style."

"I don't think I have a style!" I barely managed to say as I was unceremoniously shoved into the dressing room.

"Well, mission accomplished," Rebecca said as we left the store three hours later.

Yes, THREE HOURS LATER.

"You think there's a way we could accidently run into Sirius tonight? She looks great," Zara said, staring at me in disbelief.

They had insisted I wear one of the outfits they picked out at the store, which happened to be a blue button down dress that stopped a couple of inches above my knees and elbow length sleeves.

"IRIS!" As soon as I had climbed out, Lily came around the corner.

"LILY!" I yelled back.

"You have to come, quick!" She said, grabbing my arm and pulling me away from Zara, Willow and Rebecca.

"Is everyone okay?" I asked.

"Oh, yeah everyone's fine. I just had to get you," She said simply.

"Wait- what do you-" Suddenly she was gone, and I heard my foot step on some parchment. "What is this?" I unrolled and read what was written.

Iris,

You said you might need convincing to go with me to Hogsmeade, so this is me trying to convince you.

Just follow the trail.

Sirius

I looked down, and to my surprise I found my favorite muggle candy in the whole world, Hershey Kisses, lining the floor, making a path that went around the corner. I couldn't help the smile that crossed my face as I bent down to pick one up, unwrapping it, and popping it into my mouth, almost moaning at the taste.

Okay, so maybe I loved chocolate.

But it's not like it was an addiction or something.

Alright, maybe it was.

To my delight, every time I passed a Hershey Kiss, it would follow me magically. I sincerely hoped that they would continue to do that so I could eat them later.

The trail continued on for quite some time higher and higher until I reached the Astronomy Tower. Cautiously, I opened the door, not knowing what to expect on the other side. To my surprise, there was Sirius, wearing a nice button down blue shirt and black slacks, on one knee, holding a rose in his hand.

I couldn't help the blush that crept onto my cheeks. I had never seen Sirius go to this much trouble for a girl.

I felt kind-of special.

"Iris Harper Turner, now that I have kissed the ground you walk on -"

I giggled.

"-will you please go to Hogsmeade with me next weekend?"

I sighed playfully, "Well, I guess since you went through all this trouble . . . I suppose I should give you a chance."

Sirius grinned, handing me the rose and softly kissing my hand.

What on earth have I gotten myself into?
