Her Shyness
Halloween had always been Sirius' favourite holiday. He loved the food, the fun and the mischief. Most of all though, he loved the dressing up. This year, their last year in Hogwarts, he was looking forward to it more than ever.
James was dressed up as a regal prince, his hair coiffed perfectly and holding a golden crown. Peter was dressed as a vampire, his teeth charmed to elongate whenever he smiled. Remus, after four years of nagging, whining and even attempted blackmail on James and Sirius' parts, was going as a werewolf.
Sirius himself was dressed as an angel. When Remus and James finally stopped laughing, Remus cast a handy little charm that suspended a halo above his head, though for some reason, it kept slipping to the side.
"Are we ready to go, my fine gentlemen?" James asked, giving himself one final look over in the mirror. Sirius rolled his eyes at his friends narcissism, and nodded, pushing James first out the door.
They wandered down the stairs, loitoring in the Common Room while they waited for the girls to make their appearance. How James had convinced McKinnon it would be a good idea to all go together, Sirius had no idea, but he wished his friend the best of luck.
Lily was the last down the stairs and Sirius felt the air leave his lungs.
She looked sensational.
"You unspeakably lucky bastard," James murmured quietly in his ear, to which Sirius could only nod dumbly in agreement.
Then she smiled uncertainly and the spell was broken. He knew that while she might be dressed as the sexiest she-devil he'd ever seen, she was still his sweet, shy Lily.
It was just one of the many things he loved about her.
