Chapter 3

(Sirius' POV)

Christmas Ball

All students are cordially invited to the

Christmas Ball, to be held on December

the 23rd, beginning promptly at seven o'clock.

Further instructions will be given by the Head of

Houses

'Shit'. Remus looked put out when he saw the hundreds of posters concerning the upcoming ball littering the halls of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

'Aw, come on Remus, lighten up a little, someone will go with you, you're good looking enough- I'd give you a seven at least', Sirius joked.

James already had a dreamy look on his face. 'This is my perfect chance! Sweep her off her feet at the ball!'

'You can be her knight in shining armor, James, we just need some tin foil and you're all set'.

'Whatever, Pads, I expect you'll be asking Katy-dear?'

'Of course'.

James snorted.

'What?' Sirius pouted.

'She won't go with you if you're the last person on the earth, and I mean muggles included.

'Well, I'll just have to be smart about it then', Sirius grinned, a plan already coming to his mind.

'No offence, Sirius, but I think you being smart is kind of impossible,' Remus said in all seriousness

'Not 'kind of', Moody, just 'impossible,' James grinned.

'You just wait', Sirius smiled.

(Katy's POV)

About thirty girls had already asked her who she was going with to the ball. About fifty girls had already told her all about their dresses. About one hundred girls had already asked Sirius Black to the ball. And just one particular girl was wondering why she felt so jealous about this.

She didn't have to wonder for long though, a plate slid in next to hers at the breakfast table.

'Hey Katy'. Sirius Black's lopsided smile made an appearance.

'Hey Sirius', Katy said reluctantly, pushing her eggs around her plate. Now she was wondering about how a boy's arms could look so nice, long and tanned, but muscular too – SHUT UP, she told herself, and forced herself to look away from Sirius's arms- his really, really nice arms.

'So – have you heard about the ball coming up?' Sirius asked, looking slightly smug.

'No, Black, can't say I have', Katy replied, smiling pertly, then standing and walking from the table.

Sirius pushed his breakfast aside and followed Katy from the Great Hall.

(Sirius' POV)

Katy was heading for her next class – astronomy.

He caught up to her in a matter of steps and slung an arm around her waist. He felt her stiffen, but she didn't flinch.

'Well, maybe when you hear about this ball – we can talk about it', he whispered in her ear, and took his arm from around her.

Before he could walk away, Katy wrung her hand into the bottom of his schools shirt, grazing his navel softly with her knuckles. She pulled him toward her. Sirius could feel his heart beating where her hand lay.

'Yeah, maybe', she whispered back, and let go of him, walking a few paces.

Just before he punched the air triumphantly, she turned.

'Maybe you could set me up with one of your friends?' She asked and smiled wickedly in his direction before turning into her classroom.

Sirius smiled. He always liked a challenge.
