It had been about a month later and I had gotten really close to the girl that I met on the train and all of her friends. The girl's name turned out to be Lily Evans and in my brother's mind, she was a goddess so I felt bad for the girl. The boy's name turned out to be Severus Snape. I shared a dorm with Lily and all of my other friends which meant they were all in Gryffindor but Severus was in Slytherin. Lily and I were the only ones that would talk to him out of the girls in the dorms, though. It kind of made me feel for him.

I had already started having boyfriend troubles. Three guys had asked me out at this school and I couldn't go to James with this problem. He would just go and kick their arses so that I wouldn't be able to date them anyways. The only other guy I thought I could go to with this was Sirius Black, my brother's right hand man. I know that sounds weird but I've had a pretty cool relationship with him.

I waited to ask him until around midnight when everybody, including my brother, was asleep. Then it was just me and him. I was sitting at a desk behind the couch "studying" and he was sitting on the big red couch in the Common Room "reading". I got up and started walking over to sit next to him.

"Hey Sirius? Can I ask you something?" I asked quietly so I wouldn't wake anyone.

"Sure," he said with a strange look on his face.

"Well there are a couple of guys who asked me out and I need your advice to tell me what to do. I'm not good with guys," I told him truthfully. He responded better than I thought he would.

"I have some questions for you first," he said to me and I was unsure but I eventually said fine.

"Do you know any of these guys personally?" he asked me.

"No, not particularly," I replied.

"Do know if these guys are the 'player' type and you would just be another notch on their bed posts?"

"No."

"Do you know anything except their names and houses?"

"No," I said shamefully.

"Then I would say no to all of them, however many there might be," he told me shutting his book and setting it aside.

"Thanks," I told him. I was going to take Sirius's advice to heart and decline them all tomorrow at breakfast.

"Just out of curiosity," Sirius said while we were both just sitting on the couch, staring at the fire. "Why did you come to me with this? Why didn't you go to James?" he asked.

"Well, you know that James would react in a brotherly way and would just go and beat the guys up instead of helping me. I felt closest to you out of anybody else," I told him truthfully while I stared into his mesmerizing gray eyes and he stared back. Then he started leaning closer to me. An alarm went off in my head and I jumped up immediately and just stared at him.

"I'm sorry," was the last thing I muttered to him before I ran up the stairs to the girl's dorms. I really wanted to kiss him back but I don't know if it's a good idea or not to do that with James's best friend. I'll figure it out eventually. Maybe I'll kiss him tomorrow or maybe things will just be awkward. I'm so confused right now, though.
