Pandora

"You know Lily ended up in the hospital wing because of the date you set her up on." Said Remus walking into their dorm.

"No! Really?" Exclaimed Sirius.

"Yep."

"Why?"

"That brilliant friend of yours pushed her into the lake and stole her purse."

"He pushed her into the lake!"

"And stole her purse." Remus added.

"Yeah well I knew he'd steal something, that's just what he does but pushing her into the lake!"

"You knew he'd steal something!"

"Well yeah."

"You have such lovely friends."

"I quite like him personally."

"He's a thief!"

"Whatever I'm going to go and find James, he's got another date. Bye!" Said Sirius jumping off his bed and rushing out the door leaving Remus all alone.

…………………….

"Hey James old buddy old pal, how are you today?" Asked Sirius bouncing heartily into their transfiguration class.

"I miss Lily." Whined James.

"Right."

"I want her back."

"Get over it!!"

"I can't!"

"Well you're going to have to because I got you another date."

"Oh no! Not after that hyperactive prep you set me up with last time. I won't do it!"

"Yes you will. We made a deal, 20 dates. Remember."

"Fine."

"Her name is Pandora but she likes to be called Box, God only knows why. Your date's at 5:00."

"But there's nothing going on today, what should I do with her?" Asked James.

"That's your problem; I don't plan the dates I just pick the girls."

"Oh! What a great help you are."

"Why thank you."

"Mr. Potter and Mr. Black would you care to share your conversation with the rest of the class?" Asked Professor McGonagall turning away from her blackboard to face them.

"No Miss." They replied.

"Then I suggest that you shut-up and listen to what I'm saying." She said turning back to write on the board.

"She'll meet you at the same place as Hanna." Sirius whispered to James.

"Mr. Black please!" Said McGonagall raising her voice warningly though not turning to face them.

For the whole of that lesson, although he should have been focusing on conjuring spells, he spent his time planning his date with Pandora.

At 5 o'clock James stood outside the great hall entrance clutching a wicker basket filled with a picnic lunch with a red tartan picnic blanket resting on top giving James, what he thought was, a very gay look.

He stood there on his own until he saw a tall, blonde 6th year walking down the stairs towards him. Her shiny, golden blonde hair was twisted up into a neat 60's beehive with a large pink lily flower tucked behind her right ear with its stem entwined in her hair. Her warm green eyes lit up when she saw James and a broad grin spread across her face. She was wearing a tight white buttoned shirt underneath a tight black woman's waist coat with two large black buttons. With it she was wearing a black A-line skirt which fell to about an inch above her knees. She was also wearing a pair of platformed shoes with white swirls along the heel. She was very pretty although she did look as though she had escaped from a black and white film into the world of color.

"Hey James." She said walking up to him and kissing him on the cheek taking him by surprise.

"Oh, hey Pandora." Replied James feeling himself blush slightly.

"Call me Box, Pandora sounds so posh."

"Well ok then Box, I erm packed us a lunch so erm where do you want to go?" Said James rather lamely.

"That sounds nice; do you want to go to the trees by the lake?"

"Yeah sure." Said James smiling and then walking hand in hand with Pandora across the Hogwarts grounds.

They arrived under a large oak tee looking out onto the lake and laid out the blanket and began to unpack the food.

"You know this is really thoughtful of you. When I go on dates my date hardly ever takes me to get something to eat. Can't imagine why." She said before picking up a rather large cheese roll and shoving as much of it as she could into her mouth. "I mean the dates were nice and everything but a meal out would have been a nicer treat. Or just to the bakers or something so I don't starve to death, you know." She carried on her mouth wide open so James could see the half chewed up roll rolling around unpleasantly inside her motor mouth. At this point James put down his roll feeling thoroughly put off his food by what he had just seen.

James brought out some salad and put it between them. James picked up a slice of cucumber and started eating it whereas Pandora picked up a long piece of celery and started nibbling away at it not unlike a rabbit, it really accentuated her buck-teeth. And she couldn't stay quiet for long, she had to start talking and by doing so she was exhibiting the tiny pieces of celery being broken down inside her mouth. At this point James quickly swallowed the rest of his cucumber and told Box that she could have the rest of the salad.

James then took out a packet of biscuits for them to share. She immediately dug into them taking two at a time and yet again not bothering to hide what they look like in her mouth. It was basic mush. Horrible, sickly mush. This caused James to drop the biscuit he was about to eat immediately and he swallowed hard trying, and failing, not to look at Pandora's mouth.

"Erm do you know what?" Said James getting up. "I've just remembered I have quidditch practice to go to."

This was half true at least. He did have quidditch practice to go to but not for another 2 hours. He had just remembered…………………………that he could use them as an excuse to leave. But he had never forgotten he had them.

"Oh, well can I come and watch you?" Asked Pandora.

"No. no, it's ok, you just sit here and eat." Insisted James.

"Ok then. Do you want to go out again sometime?"

"Err……….well no offence but you're not really my type."

"Oh…….ok then."

"See you around Pandora."

"It's Box."

"Yeah……..I think I'll stick with Pandora." Said James walking off happy to escape.

He strolled around the grounds for a while since he had some extra time on his hands and when he saw fit he began to walk towards the quidditch pitch.

"So how did your date go?" Asked Sirius as James entered the changing room.

"She eats with her mouth open, and talks whilst she eats and basically displays to the public whatever's in her mouth." Said James pulling on his quidditch robes. "I took her on a picnic. How do you think it went?"

"Not good then."

" She eats like a pig. Only a pig has more table manners."

"Can't have been that bad."

"I barely ate anything because everything she shoved in her black hole of a mouth I was put off immediately because I'd seen it all mushed up and as a consequence of that I haven't had lunch and you have no idea how hungry I am."

"Ok then. Just don't eat anywhere near her from now on. You're going to need your energy from our match on Friday against Slytherin."

"We're gonna thrash 'em."

"HELL YEAH!"
