It was the week before Professor Slughorn's uniform party and Lissa and i have been talking, we didn't want to follow the trend,

'So what we will go as then?' Lissa asked me

'I don't know?' i said slowly.

'How about something Halloween like, or elves?' she asked i thought for a minute

'It's a uniform ball isn't it?' i asked her slowly

'Yeah?' she replied slowly as well

'A uniffform ball' i said longing the 'f'

'yes Freya, a uniform ball' she said sounding slightly annoyed

'So we go as unicorns' i said crossing my arms in triumph

'I don't get it, where did you get unicorns from?'

'uniffffforms, uniccccorns' i said shaking her, hoping to get it into her head

'That' she paused thinking 'Is an awesome idea'

'I know' i said happily jumping at her, she caught me and we span around laughing.

'We are allowed dates again' she said

'Great' i said sarcastically

'Jake asked me again' she grinned

'He would have' i muttered

'What was that?' Lissa asked me

'I said i'm going to get my own back on Sirius and James'

'nice' she replied, as we began walking down from the dormitory's and bracing ourselves for the day ahead.

'When life hands you pineapples, you grab them and swear when the prickles scratch your hand' i said smiling as we walked into transfiguration

'too true' Lissa said as we took our seats, i pulled my wand and quill out of my bag and rested my chin on my hand, i closed my eyes.

Lissa nudged me and my chin slipped from my hand resulting in my chin colliding with the solid wood of the desk. I swore loudly, several people chuckled, i kept on rubbing my chin, it was getting more painful, i looked at Lissa and gave her evils.

'Ow' i said not being able to move my chin much

'Sorry, it's just Sirius was trying to get your attention' she said waving her hand in his direction

'I don't want to speak to him' i said, through a sigh.

'Right, well he's crawling over to you right now' i raised an eyebrow

'How do you do that, i want to do that, teach me to raise my eyebrow' Lissa said poking at my eyebrow.

'Sometimes i wonder why we are friends' i mumbled, she just grinned

'Because i'm the bestest and most awesome person in the world' she boasted

'Actually i think you'll find that's me' came a voice from behind me, i sighed and looked to the front of the class

'So Freya, want to do some more flying with me?' Sirius asked, i didn't reply

'Just go, Black' Lissa said facing the front too, if i could have seen his face i knew he was looking confused. He should know what he's done wrong

'But-' he began but Professor Mcgonagall walked into the room, we both sighed in relief as Sirius sighed in annoyance

'Take you're seats class' Professor Mcgonagall said loudly

'Take them where?' i asked Lissa, who promptly snorted loudly and rather grossly. This then causing us to have a giggle fit.

'Girls, i have already spoken to you about disrupting my lessons so unless you want to get more points taken away, i would be quite now' she said sternly, i held my breath but i was still shaking with silent laughter, as was Lissa.

'Today we will be learning about Transfiguring people into animals' Professor mcgonagall continued, i sat up straight and smiled evilly. This should be fun.

By the end of the lesson only eight of us could master the spell. Those eight being Lissa, James, Sirius, Remus, Jake, Lily a random slytherin girl and of course me, i was in a brilliant mood until i realised what was next. as the bell rang i groaned. i packed my bag and walked slowly out of the room, Lissa patted my back before walking off to her safe class, i walked down the stairs and the out to the greenhouses.

'Going to show those plant's whose boss again today, Griffin?' Sirius asked from behind me, i jumped and almost fell over, i ignored him, although i really wanted to yell at him 'No, i'm going to show you whose boss' i walked over to Sam and sat down.

'Hey Sam, hows things in hufflepuff' i asked

'just the usual, we are playing gryffindor at quiddich after Christmas, i'm not hopeful for a win though' She said sadly

'You did play well though' i said reassuringly, she just shrugged

'How's things with you and Black?' she asked as Professor Sprout entered the Greenhouse

'Pretty awful, but i'm planning a prank on him' i said

'What's that then?' she asked

'I'm not sure yet' i sighed

'Well...' she began 'Lets spend the lesson planning'

'you'll help? i asked happily

'Of course'

So we spent the rest of herbology planning out what to do, and to tell the truth it is the best plan ever, but i will need Lily's assistance. the bell rang and we hid the piece of parchment, i walked up the steps with Sam for lunch.

We walked in and i looked around, Lily wasn't here yet, so Sam and i hung in the entrance hall, Sirius winked at me as he walked in, and still after all he has done, i go red. What the hell is wrong with me, i have a Sirius problem. Sam looked at me weirdly as i burst out laughing.

'What on earth?' she asked bemused

'Sirius... Problem' i said in between laughs, Sam smiled

'That was awful' she said chuckling

'I know seriously awful' and i was off again, Lily and Lissa walked down the stairs at that moment, they walked over to us

'Whats so funny?' Lissa asked

'I have a Sirius problem' i snorted out, Lissa snorted too and Lily shook her head tutting,

'i hear that sort of pun all the time in the Gryffindor common room, you should be ashamed' Lily said smiling

'Should be, but i'm not, anyway Lily' i began, i bit my lip waiting for the explosion 'I need you to ask James to the Ball' i said quickly

'What? no way! i'm not taking him again, he's so immature and what if he gets the wrong ide-' i put my hand over her mouth and whispered the plan into her ear, her eyes went wide and she smiled wickedly, she straightened her robes and walked straight to the gryffindor table

'What are you planning?' Lissa asked looking like a mini professor Mcgonagall i smiled and filled her in, by the end she was grinning too 'Brilliant'

'hey look at James' face' Sam said we turned to look and saw that he looked like he was in heaven, Lily had obviously just asked him. The three of us went over to Lily

'Hey Lily' i said happily

'Hey guys, haven't seen you in a while' she said smiling

'So we were wondering if you wanted to come get ready with us for the party?' Lissa asked

'I'd love to, thanks guys' Lily said smiling

'Which common room would be best to get ready in?' Lissa asked

'Well i'm not sure about Ravenclaw, our room mates get stressy with too much noise, which is pretty much all the time, with us in there' i said thoughtfully

'Oh just come to gryffindor, i'll let you in at four?' Lily said

'Yeah sure, well i'd best be off, got to find me a date' i said walking towards the Ravenclaw table,

'Hey, Lissa you saw that didn't you?' Sam asked Lissa

'Saw what?' i asked

'Yeah i saw' Lissa said

'Saw what?' i repeated

'Couldn't keep his eyes off her' Sam said smiling as we all sat down

'So Peter was telling the truth' Lissa said, i grabbed a goblet of pumpkin juice

'Who couldn't keep their eyes off who?' i asked getting annoyed, i took a long gulp

'Sirius couldn't take his eyes off of you' Sam said, and then i choked sending pumpkin juice everywhere, including out of my nose

'Lovely' Lissa said

'He was not!' i said wiping pumpkin juice from my face

'Oh he was' Sam said, i huffed grabbed a sandwich and wiped my face again

'My nose feels funny' i said as i sniffed

'right ask him tomorrow outside the Defence classroom' Lissa said

'Yeah you two are always first there' Sam said

'Yeah alright, but for now i'm going to potions, and so should you' i said standing up and walking off to the dungeons, the plan running through my head.

The next day i was nervous, i was walking along the corridor to Defence against the dark arts, i turned the corner and came face to face with Sirius, he smiled at me, he was about half a head taller than me, i must be quite tall, i mean i am about the same height as Sam and a bit taller than Lissa, interesting...

'Hey' Sirius said leaning against the wall, i lent against the opposite one

'Hi' i replied, fiddling with my tie that i hadn't bothered to do up,

'So, err' he continued, i bit my lip

'So, i was w-wondering' Damn it

'Yeah?' he asked

'If y-you would l-like' Double damn it, what the hell is wrong with me, Sirius raised his eyebrow 'To go to slughorn's ball with me' i said quickly

Sirius smiled slightly

'Yeah, sure i'd love to' He replied, i smiled

'Great' i said as the others began to arrive.

to say that was an awkward lesson would be an understatement. i wasn't the only one knocking things over, every time we bumped hands or anything we were both bright red and there would be a bang or two, i think professor Hale got a bit annoyed, i cleared my throat as the bell rang grabbed my stuff and ran from the class and straight to Lissa, i engulfed her in a hug

'A Sirius problem, huh?' she asked i nodded 'Did you ask him?' again i nodded 'And what did he say?'

'That he'd love to' i mumbled into her jumper. 'Lissa, i began to stutter again' i said she continued to hold me

'It'll be alright Freya, it'll be alright' she said dramatically

'why must everything be so confusing?' i asked pulling away as we walked towards the great hall

'I'm not sure, but at least the plan is underway'

'i suppose' i said.

It was the day of the Party and everyone who was going was excited and those who weren't were excited to be going home for Christmas holidays the next day or those who were staying were excited for Christmas itself. Lissa and i were on our way to Gryffindor tower, we waited by the fat lady, who was giving us a suspicious look

'Hello Mrs lady' i said smiling

'Hello, you two are not Gryffindors' she said

'Sure we are' i said winking at Lissa

'Password?' she asked

'Forgot it' i said happily 'However i can act out how brave i am'

She rolled her eyes

'Lissa, pretend to be a dragon' i said she smiled and flapped imaginary wings, i drew a fake sword, and we began to act out me killing the dragon, then i stabbed Lissa who dramatically died, there was clapping from behind us, Sirius and James were standing there, i went bright red, and looked back at the fat lady

'Thanks for letting us know we were being watched' i said while i helped Lissa up from the floor, the fat lady shrugged before opening as Lily came out, she saw mine and Lissa's embarrassed faces and saw James and Sirius laughing

'What did you do now?' she asked pulling us through the portrait hole, i had never been in the gryffindor common room, i looked around in awe, it was decorated in gold and red, and there was no sign of a book anywhere, it looked brilliant and cosy.

'Just proving we could be brave' Lissa said defensively, Lily pulled us up a staircase and into a dorm that looked just like ours, minus the blue and bronze and more of the red and gold.

we dropped off our clothes and then walked down the stairs, and quietly went up the stairs to the sixth year boys dormitory's, we listened outside the door, there was no noise so we crept in and walked around, one of the beds was made and books st on the bedside table, clothes were folded on the chair. obviously his dress clothes for tonight.

'Remus' i said as we walked to the next which was made in rather a hurry, as iff the person was in a hurry

'Franks' i said i looked at the one that was scattered in food crumbs and wrappers

'Peters' i said walking to the others which were a mess, there were magazines and newspapers covering the floor, as well as dirty clothes and what looked like an scrap bit of parchment,

'James's and Sirius's' i said as we picked up all the clothes we could find and put a hovering charm on them, then i began to rummage around, getting every last item, we opened the window and floated the clothes down to the lake, it had been snowing for about a week now, and the lake was freezing, i high fived Lily and Lissa as we began to stick all the other clothes minus the ones for Remus down for twenty or so hours.

We were about to leave when we heard voices outside the door, we looked at each other and we all bolted under the beds, i was under Remus's, Lily and Lissa were under Frank's. The door opened and Remus, James and Sirius walked in, they took their coats and hats and scarfs on, which i hovered and threw out of the window, that we had left open, i cast a sticking charm on it, so no one could close it,

'Wormtail's left the window open again' Sirius said going to the window an trying to close it, he shrugged and started getting undressed, as did james, Soon enough they were just in their underware and the other two had their hands covering their eyes, i hovered the newly taken off clothes out of the window, when Sirius and James had turned around.

Remus however had seen and bent down, coming face to face with me, i put my finger to my lips and pointed to his clothes and then to the bathroom, he shrugged, hid a smile and picked up his clothes and wondering off to get changed, meanwhile James and Sirius were looking everywhere for their clothes, i was desperately trying not to laugh, Sirius went to the window, and looked out, then he swore loudly.

'Prong's come here' he said angrily

'mate, i would but i can't find my clothes' James said

'Yeah, same, because they are all floating in the bloody lake' Sirius said

'You what?' James said running to the window

'you still got your cloak?' Sirius asked James, i looked at Lily and Lissa who both shrugged

'No, for the love of Merlin's right droopy-' i covered my ears as did Lily, but Lissa looked horrified, and then began to shake with silent giggles, the boys started to pace

'Moony!' James suddenly shouted, but this time all three of us were shaking with silent laughter

'what?' Remus asked walking into the room

'we need to borrow some clothes' Sirius said

'Help yourself' Remus said before walking out of the room, the two boys came over to his trunk and tried to get the clothes

'I can't believe it, theyr'e stuck!' James said

'Come on lets just go get our clothes' Sirius said

'its snowing'

'and?' Sirius said

'we'll be cold' James said pouting

'What are you a man or a stag?' they both began to laugh, honestly, I don't get it. Their humour stinks.

they both walked out of the room, we all sighed and tiptoed down the stairs as they closed the portrait hole, all the gryffindors staring in astonishment.

we ran up to the girls dorm and got dressed, Lissa and i were in white all in ones with fake hoof's and a horn on a hairband, lily was in a white cloak

'What are you dressed as?' i asked her

'A doctor' she said

'What is a doctor?' i asked curiously

'A muggle healer basically' said Lissa, she was a half blood,

'Oh, i want to be a healer, does that mean i'd be like a muggle doctor?' i asked

'Yeah' they said together

'Oh cool' i said as we looked out of the window, Sirius and James had collected all their clothes and were walking inside, Snape and his friend Evan were both standing in horror watching them as they trekked back into the school, i laughed

'So what's the time?' i asked

'Five Thirty' Lily said checking her watch

'Right we have half an hour'

we sat down and began to paint our nails, Lily had something called 'Nail varnish' i had mine done in a pearl colour, while Lissa went pink and Lily went blue.

once it was all dry it was time to go, we walked down the stairs and saw that Sirius and James were waiting, both looking rather cold.

'Found you're clothes then?' i asked Sirius as i walked up to him

'Yeah, they were- hang on a minute' i smiled and bolted to the door, he chased me down to Slughorn's party, i knocked at the door of his office which opened and i was allowed in,

Music filled my ears as i crossed the threshold, Sirius stuck his tongue out at me and walked in next to me, he was in a pirate costume, James and lily came in next, James was in an army costume, after a few minutes Lissa and Jake came in, Jake was in a zoo keepers uniform,

'Ah, so glad you could all make it, Lily, such a great idea for it to be themed' Slughorn said as he flounced over to us

'Regulus is in the slug club?' Sirius said sounding rather astonished, i looked at him, he shivered.

Professor Slughorn looked at me and Lissa

'My my girls, what do we have here'

'We're unicorns' i said in a matter of fact way

'And what type of a job is that in the muggle world?'

'Job sir?' i asked, Lissa held in a laugh

'For the uniform ball'

'Uniform ball? i thought it was a unicorn ball' Lissa burst into hysterics and i dragged Sirius off the fireplace, i mean, i can be nice sometimes..

we sat at the sofa in front of it.

'i will get you back for putting our clothes in the lake' Sirius said

'I was getting you back for the Cheese sauce' i said folding my arms

'which was James's idea' Sirius said

'Well that was Sam's idea' i said we both just laughed and sank into the sofa. after a few minutes, Sirius seemed to have warmed up, because he stood up and offered him arm

'A dance?' he asked i looked around to see a few couples dancing around in the middle of the room,

'Sure' i said taking his arm as he lead me to the dance floor, we danced around for a while to the song, it then came to an end when a slower song came on, Sirius pulled me closer and put his hands on my hips, my heart stopped at i put mine around his neck, we began to dance slowly, i rested my head on his shoulder and watched the other couples,

Lissa and Jake were close and James and Lily even were dancing, we danced for a couple more songs, before wondering back to the sofa. i looked back to the dance floor to see Lissa and Jake locked in a kiss, i resisted the urge to yell 'awwhh' and looked away and sat by Sirius, we were then joined by James and Lily, one thing is for sure, This was the best party i had ever been to.
