That'll be explained later. All of these names are authentic Spanish, Scottish, Italian, Irish, and Greek names (Thekla is the only pure Greek though). There are some names in here that I added but I'm not saying their mine because they don't play huge roles and I'm too lazy to go through the whole story again and type more names to this already long list (like Professor Markis, Nikita, etc…)

Now…Enjoy. Please review!

"Who are you going with, James?" Sirius asked over breakfast on Thursday morning.
James shook his head and took a sip of pumpkin juice.

"Haven't asked anyone yet."

"You do realize the dance is tomorrow night, right?" Remus asked, giving James a worried look.

"What!?" He seemed to have forgotten, his eyes wide with surprise.

"It's Thursday, James," squeaked little Peter Pettigrew. Sirius rolled his eyes and sighed heavily.

"You forgot? How could you forget?"

"Well…with Evans and all…"

"Alright…Let's see…" Sirius looked towards the ceiling, thinking.

The four went through the list of girls they knew.

"Marissa Applewhite?" asked Sirius.

"She's going with that Davey boy from Hufflepuff," Remus interjected.

"Damn...what about Cassandra Templeton?" Sirius put out. Peter looked thoughtful and then nodded his head, smiling.

"That Ravenclaw girl?" James questioned.

"Yeah…"

"She's already going with someone," said a girls' voice from behind Remus.

"How do you know, Pippa?" Remus asked his younger sister, looking up at her, his head bent back at an odd angle that looked like it hurt. "I thought you weren't talking to her since she jinxed your hair purple."

"I heard her and her friends squealing about it in the bathroom," she responded lazily as she waved her hand dismissively and took a seat next to Sirius.

"What about Danica Mirien? She's not going with anyone," suggested Pippa.

"There's a reason for that," mumbled Sirius, snickering under his breath as he looked over at the Hufflepuff table. Danica was nice enough but she wasn't a pretty sight to look at. Her long brown hair was dull and stringy, her face had a few nasty blemishes, and her eyes were a dull grey color; not to mention she was a bit over weight.

"Sirius, don't be mean. You never know, Danica could be quite the looker when she gets older," she answered coarsely.

"Aw, come on Pip! The girls the size of the Quiddich field!" His response from the younger girl was a hit on the shoulder. Sirius winced and rubbed the offended appendage.

"Why do you always hit me so hard?"

"Because half the time you deserve it. The other half is just for fun," she said, smirking playfully.

James and Peter laughed, while Remus buried his face in his book and remained silent.

"How 'bout you, Pip? Wanna save a friend in need?" asked James, sounding a bit desperate.

"You wouldn't be in need if you hadn't lied to Lily in the first place... and besides, I'm already going with someone," she said in a matter-of-fact tone of voice, crossing her arms and looking smug.

Remus' head snapped up. "Who?"

"Never you mind." She answered a little too quickly for Remus' taste and he sent her a glare.

"I know who," Sirius piped up darkly.

"Who?" Remus' attention was now on Sirius, who looked even more smug than Pippa. Pippa gulped and glared at Sirius.

"Sirius, don't you-"

"I saw them snogging in an empty classroom last week."

"What?!" Remus turned to face his sister. Pippa turned a bright shade of red.

"And our sweet little Pippie had her shirt un-"

"Silencio," Pippa interrupted.

Sirius' mouth continued moving but no sound came out so he resorted to making a series of movements with his hands, none of which made any sense but gave the general impression of some sort of sexual act. Pippa thought it would have been better to go with the spoken version but did not release Sirius from her spell. He glanced at her in amusement. Remus was standing up now glaring at his sister from across the table.

"Who?" Remus asked again, his fists clenched at his sides and his eye was twitching.

Sirius took the syrup container and wrote out "Snape" on his pancake. Peter and James looked disgusted, James even going as far as to gag on his sausage. Remus looked shocked and Sirius looked quite pleased with himself.

"Snivellus?" James asked in disgust after he was finally able to swallow the piece of sausage, looking as though he may throw up.

"No," Remus said simply.

"Excuse me?" Pippa glared up at him.

"No, you're not going with him. I don't ever want to see you around him! He's into the dark arts! He's probably a death eater for all you know!"

"Shut UP Remus," Pippa was turning a darker shade of crimson. People were beginning to stare now, even her friends.

Remus lowered his voice "Pippa...I'll write to Mum."

"Oh, THAT'S mature," she replied, stabbing at her eggs angrily with her fork.

"I will!"

She made a rude hand gesture at her brother and stood up, smacking Sirius in the head with her book-bag as she turned to walk over to the Ravenclaw table.

"I take it he found out about Severus?" asked Aurora as Pippa approached. Pippa grunted and sat down next to her friend, looking entirely put out. Aurora looked back at Remus and shook her head, knowing he saw her.

James was still dateless by the time Friday rolled around. He and Sirius had asked many girls but no one would go with them. Most had dates and others said they just wanted to go with their friends. Sirius hadn't gotten up the nerve to ask Aurora to the dance, knowing full well no one had asked her yet. Remus was still furious about his sister and Severus. He had been slamming things around until three in the morning, when Sirius snapped at him to shut up and go to bed.

"I'll just fake sick," James said as he changed into his robes. Just as he was slipping it over his head, the dormitory door flew open and Pippa skipped in, a gleeful smile plastered on her pretty face.

"Good morning, boys," she chirped happily.

Peter squealed and hid behind his bed curtains. "Pippa, you're not supposed to be in here!" Remus, who had jumped into his bed at the last second because he wasn't even close to being dressed, exclaimed.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever, Remus," Pippa snapped, then turned to James, happy as can be.

"James, I found a date for you."

"Who?" he asked, hoping for a decent looking girl.

"Aurora," she said in a sing-song voice, smiling sweetly. Sirius dropped his glass of water, his eyes bulging and his jaw open as the glass shattered, making Peter squeak again.

"Sirius, you'll catch more flies than girls if you keep your mouth open like that," she remarked smartly. Sirius' jaw snapped shut with an audible click, but his eyes were still very large.

"That's Lily's best friend…Why-wh-why would she want to go with me?"

"Don't worry about it, James; just go with her, okay?" She left the room and Peter came out from behind the curtains, his own eyes large with fright.

"She's crazy!" He squeaked as Remus went to lock the door.
