Now for the chapter you have all been waiting for...
A week had passed since their meeting with Rora. It was an eventful week to say the least; Dumbledore had fixed the 'room' problem, and now Lily was back in her dormitory with the girls. Mary, Marlene, Dorcas and Lily sat in the room preparing Lily for her Hogsmeade date with James. Lily was buzzing; she didn't know whether to be excited or nervous, but she was definitely both.
"Lily, you should wear the jeans I gave you last year!" Marlene squealed. Lily's entire wardrobe was lying in a pile on her bed. She had no clue what to wear. Dorcas dived into the pile and came out with a stripped red and blue dress that came down to her knees. The sleeves stopped just passed her shoulders. Lily had to admit, it was a dress she had only seen once before, and it wasn't on her.
"Petunia," Lily whispered.
Lily remembered Petunia, her mother and herself shopping over the summer. The three women passed a shop that had the dress. Lily had gawked at the dress, she desperately wanted it. She didn't tell her mother she wanted the dress, because Lily felt a need to pay for it herself. Petunia had found her one day going through all her savings to be able to pay for the dress. Lily hadn't had enough money to pay for it. The next day, Petunia came home with the dress. She thought Lily didn't see the dress, but she did, and Lily felt betrayed at the fact Petunia bought the dress.
"I'll wear that!"
James paced around the Gryffindor Common room. Sirius was laughing his arse off, while Remus was trying to comfort him. He twiddled his fingers as he hyperventilated. He never ever in his whole life expected to be in this position; to be within minutes of a date with Lily Evans. He had planned the whole thing out, to the very last detail. They would go to the Three Broomsticks, then to Flourish and Blots. After that, the two would take a stroll down Hogsmeade and she would hopefully allow him to take a peek into Zonko's. Boy, he hoped she'd let him.
"Prongs, you'll be fine, mate. I mean, Lily knows how much of an idiot you are, so there's no disappointment line!" Remus said encouragingly. James stopped his pacing to glare at Remus.
"Thanks for the vote of confidence. Have you seen Sirius at all?" No one had seen Sirius for the day, in fact. He had gotten up exceptionally early and left to Merlin-knows-where.
"Sorry, Prongs, I've got no clue." Remus shrugged. James nodded his head while he chewed at his bottom lip. He swiveled around and groaned. His best mate was nowhere to be seen in his time of need. But he had Remus. Great.
"Y'know, has anyone tell you that you can't function without Sirius?" Remus asked. James laughed.
"Yeah. You - all the time!" The two laughed but where soon stopped as a cough filled James' ear. He turned around and saw the stunning figure of Lily Evans.
"Lily," he breathed. Lily smiled and waved her hand.
"I know, I know. Better than Aphrodite herself, right?" she asked. James agape mouth did not move. He could only bob his head up and down. Lily's musical laugh escaped from her lips and she rushed next to James. She took hold of his arm and dragged him out of the Common Room. James glanced back at Remus who gave him two thumbs up.
Jess walked next to him and leaned into his ear.
"Five galleons says he screws it up," she whispered. Remus looked down at her.
"Twenty says Sirius screws it up."
Remus whistled down the empty halls of Hogwarts. No one was roaming the corridors, many too busy with homework or Hogsmeade. He was looking forward to peace and quiet in the library. No Sirius and no James to be noisy or distract him. He could finally finish reading To Kill A Mockingbird. Remus was stopped as he heard a noise from behind him. He turned around but was only welcomed by the silence the empty corridor brought. Remus felt uneasy. He closed his eyes, and in a flash, hands clasped around his mouth and eyes. A blindfold was placed in front of his eyes and duck tape over his mouth. He struggled, but the force acting against him was too much.
His inner-wolf sensed danger but there was nothing his human-form could do. Remus was pushed along the halls. What Remus could hear, his abductors were dragging him to outside Hogwarts. He felt his feet stumbling against the pavement and could hear young children giggling. How stupid could they be!? Couldn't they see him being kidnapped!? Where the hell was McGonagall? She would kick his kidnappers' arses if she caught sight of this!
Finally, Remus was pushed into a carriage. His abductors ripped off the blindfold and the duck tape. He opened his eyes and saw his annoying friend and the Headmaster.
"SIRIUS! PROFESSOR! WHAT THE HELL!" he screamed. Sirius grinned ear-to-ear.
"Calm down, mate," he laughed. Remus felt the tips of his ears redden.
"Calm down!? Calm down, you say? I thought I was being abducted by Death Eaters!" Remus sent killing looks to Sirius and turned his gaze to Dumbledore.
"Sir, what the hell was that! You are supposed to be a mature adult, yet hear you are kidnapping defenseless werewolves! All I wanted was a quiet day! Just one day to spend by myself in the library! But no, YOU Sirius Orion Black have to ruin it! Whatever t is-," Remus' rant was stopped by a small cry of a child. Only then did Remus realize it was not just the three men in the carriage. A small girl no older than four was sitting on Sirius' lap. Her long hair went from pink to purple to a deep shade of blue.
"Don't tell me you lot kidnapped a child as well as me," Remus groaned. He recognized the girl on Sirius' lap She was his cousin, Nymphadora Tonks. The small girl looked into Remus' eyes and erupted into a fit of giggles. Her arms stretched out to him and she demanded to be with him.
"Remy! Remy!" she giggled. Remus sighed and took the child. He sat her on his lap and let the girl jump and play with his hair.
"Aw, look! Dora likes you!" Sirius gushed. Remus' face remained un-amused. His face was blank and he stared into Sirius' eyes like he was looking into his soul.
"Sirius, Professor, did you kidnap Dora?" he asked with no sign of emotion. A silence drifted before Dumbledore spoke.
"Well, we didn't kidnap her, per se. More like, borrowed her without the knowledge of her parents!" Dumbledore let an easy smile onto his lips. Remus face palmed. He groaned again. Dora took Remus' hand and played with his fingers.
"You. Idiots."
Sirius shrugged. "Say what you want, but we have come up with a fool proof plan to get Lily to fall deeper in love with Jimmy Boy!" He sent an eager smile to Dumbledore before continuing. "So, we all know how much Dora loves Jimmy! So, we send her out, wondering by herself. Jimmy'll find her and Evans will see how perfect James is and be all like; 'Oh, James, I love you, let's get married!' And then they will. And they will show their gratitude to me by naming their first born son Sirius Harry Potter!" Sirius cheered.
Remus looked at the pureblood with a look of complete disdain. He couldn't believe his best friend and Headmaster were devising such a silly, stupid plan.
"You do realize you'll probably stuff up their date. And the chances of them calling their kid Sirius is about 1 in a 1000." Remus tore his hand away from Dora and looked at Dumbledore.
"Sir, do I have to be here?" Dumbledore nodded solemnly. "Mr. Lupin, I'm afraid if you do not participate in this you will loose Gryffindor 20 points as well as receive a weeks worth of detention with Professor Pond, and we all know she comes up with the worst detentions."
Remus sighed before tiredly nodding his head. "What do I have to do?"
The three men and one small child wondered around Hogsmeade, making sure to remain undercover. Dora still had a tight hold on Remus' hand and refused to go with anyone else but the werewolf. Dora wanted to stop at every store to look at the displays. Sirius refused to stopped, the mission was the only thing on his mind. Though, the four only stopped when they passed an ice-cream bar and Dora's cry for ice-cream became unbearable. At that very moment, Dora was happily sitting on Remus' lap, licking her ice-cream with full content.
"Yes, this is such a fool proof plan!" Remus exclaimed as the bits of Dora's ice-cream fell in his faded jeans. Sirius pouted and huffed.
"In my head, things were going a lot smoothly," Giggles soon erupted in the air and Sirius and Remus turned to Dora. She had finished her ice-cream and now reaching out for Dumbledore's. Dumbledore pouted and shifted his ice-cream away from the child.
"No, no, no! I gave you my other ice-cream." Dumbledore chimed. Dora's eye watered and her lips began to quiver. Dora hung onto Dumbledore's robes and sobbed out her please. Dumbledore looked like he was going to give in, but Remus stood and picked up the four-year-old child.
"I'll buy her some more ice-cream," he sighed. Dora cheered and clung to his neck. The two waddled inside.
"Uncle Sirius is silly. He wants me to help Jimmy with Lily," she smiled. Remus shook his head. Jimmy, he thought, James'll kill Sirius for teaching Dora to call him Jimmy.
"So you're going to help Uncle Sirius?" Dora nodded her head vigorously. "Mhmm, and then Uncle Sirius will buy me ice-cream forever!" Dora giggled again. Remus bought the girl chocolate-chip ice-cream. She started licking it and her big eyes lit up and she smiled innocently.
"I love you, Remy!"
"I love you, too, Dora."
"You wanna marry me?" she asked. Remus gave her a sad smile. How he wished he could marry anyone, but with his condition, he would never to be able to. But he couldn't tell the small child that.
"Sure, Dora." Dora's face brightened and she threw her hands in the air.
"Yay!" She clung to his neck again. They sat down next to the two men.
"Now, for the plan!" Sirius smiled.
