The next week or so continued as normal around Hogwarts with Lily ignoring the Marauders as much as possible. Lily and Sirius were making good progress with their project and Katie and James were being kind to each other, which Lily couldn't stand as she had told her what had happened but Katie unusually had taken their side as she thought trust was very important.

"Lily can I talk to you for a sec?" Sirius asked as they made their way out of the classroom and into the hall.

"Yeah sure what's up?" Lily answered kindly as she still liked Sirius.

"It's just about the transfiguration project could we move it to tonight instead of tomorrow because I have quidditch practice at that time?"

"Um... yeah I think that's ok, but I'll get back to you yeah?" Lily said.

"Yeah ok. Bye."

"Bye." She said as she walked back over to her friend.

"What was that about?" Katie asked looking over her shoulder at Sirius and blushing as he looked back.

"Oh just stuff for the project. Katie can I ask you something?"

"Yeah sure what's up?"

"What happened with you and Sirius?"

"What are talking about? Did he say something about me?" Katie answered in a rush.

"Ha no he didn't say anything but he may as well have. You're always looking at each other and smiling and getting all nervous when he talks to me around you. It's hilarious!" Lily said ending with a chuckle.

"Stop it's not funny!" Katie said with a sigh. "It's just, you know what I told you about what happened in the astronomy tower?"

"Yeah what about it?" Lily said leaning to hear more.

"Well it happened again."

"What do you mean 'it happened again' what happed exactly?"



"Well I went up to the astronomy tower and he was there, I was going to leave but he asked me to stay, so I did. I sat down beside him and we talked for hours! It was amazing I usually get all nervous and embarrassed around him but I was ok. It was amazing." Katie said staring ahead as she walked.

"So then what happened?" Lily asked enticed by the romance of it all.

"Then when we were leaving just before I left he pulled me back and kissed me! And not just a kiss, kiss it was full on proper kiss! It was..."

"Let me guess 'amazing'!" Lily said with a huge smile on her face.

"Ha yeah!" Katie said as she giggled along with Lily.

Sirius ran into the library knowing he might not come back out as he was half an hour late! Lily was going to kill him.

"Lily I am so sorry..." Sirius started but trailed off not seeing the red head anywhere in the library.

Suddenly someone burst into the library after him and ran over to him saying "I am so sorry Sirius I lost track of time and I forgot our meeting was today and I'm just really sorry!"

"Eh... It's ok I guess." Sirius said, utterly confused about what was going on.

"Good so do you want to get to work or what?"

"Eh yeah sorry." Sirius said brought out of his daze.

Sirius and Lily worked continuously for another hour before they decided to throw in the towel and leave it at what they had done.

It was when they were walking back to the common room when the subject turned to Katie.

"So um I was wondering... how's Katie doing working with James?" Sirius asked uncertainly.

"What you didn't ask her that in the astronomy tower?" Lily asked with a sly smile on her lips.

"Well I didn't want towait now! How did you know about that? I didn't tell anyone that!"

"Ha sorry Katie told me. She also told me you kissed her?" Lily asked a questioning look in her eyes.

"Eh yeah..." Sirius answered looking at the ground a soft blush starting to enter his cheeks.

"Don't worry I won't tell James. Are you going to ask her out?"

"I was thinking the next Hogsmead trip actually. What do you think?"

"I think it's perfect." Lily said, "I always thought you two would be good together you know."

"Thanks."

The next morning there was a notice on the notice board in the every common room saying that the next Hogsmead trip was to be in two weeks time for Easter.

"Looks like your opportunity is coming sooner than you thought eh?" Lily whispered to Sirius when she saw the notice.

"Yeah but at least if she says no it's not the Valentines trip/" Sirius said casually.

"True, true. So when are you going to ask her?"

"Actually I was wondering if you could give her this note for me? It just asks her to meet me at the astronomy tower tonight. That's when I'm going to ask her. Merlin if anyone heard me they'd think I was going to propose!" Sirius laughed nervously.

"Ha yeah. Don't worry and just remember to relax, no one likes a shaky voice asking them out!" Lily said comfortingly.

T hat night in the astronomy tower Sirius was waiting nervously when he heard footsteps on the stairs outside the door,

Suddenly in burst three laughing teenage boys!

"Prongs what are you doing here?" Sirius asked.

"I knew we'd find him here boys! We were looking all over for you bud!" James answered with a big, mighty grin on his face.

"Are you drunk Prongs?" Sirius asked worriedly.

"Ha I think so! Does drinking lots and lots of fire whiskey make you drunk?" James asked his words slurred form the drink.

Then another person joined the group in the small balcony of the astronomy tower.

"Sirius what's going on?" Katie asked from behind Peter's chubby form.

"Katie! Oh Merlin I'm sorry this is all going wrong!" Sirius said exasperatedly,

"Ha you're hot! Do I know you?" James asked, his words slurred.

"Urgh. I can't believe this!" Katie said throwing her arms up in the air and storming off down the stairs.

"Katie wait!" Sirius shouted after her as he ran down the stairs.
