A/N: So here's the third chapter. It's a short one because I didn't want to split the next one up. It gives the introduction to Sirius and Lily but there still is no actual moments between them. Sorry! Next chapter I promise.

Disclaimer: I am not the almighty J.K., therefore none of the characters belong to me and, alas, neither does the plot. Although, that one goes to the fabulous producers of the movie this story is based off of.

Chapter 3: The Plan

It had been a week since the date and James was already growing impatient. He had told her that he would wait for her and he meant it. He was prepared to wait for as long as it took but he decided that it wouldn't hurt if the day happened to be sooner rather than later. It was Saturday night and James was sitting alone in his dorm room when Sirius walked in.

"Hey Padfoot" James said, a little surprised that Sirius wasn't on a date tonight.

"Hey Prongs. What's up?" Sirius asked to spark a conversation.

"Nothing, just hanging out. Why aren't you on a date tonight?"

"Ah, I could ask you the same question".

"I am happily waiting for my girl which is more than you could say".

"Well my little lovestruck friend, the night is still young. I may still find a date for the evening".

Suddenly an idea popped into James' mind. Could this work?

Sirius noticed. "What are you thinking?"

"What if I told you that I have a suggestion for who your date should be tonight?"

"Alright you officially have my attention".

"Lily".

"Lily what?"

"No. Lily. As in she should be your date".

"You're kidding right?"

"Not at all actually".

"Why? What's your plan?"

"What if you took Lily out tonight and acted like a complete jerk? Then she would realize that I'm really not that ad in comparison to other guys and she will go out with me again".

"That could work. Just one problem though".

"What?"

"SHE HATES ME!"

"Actually she told me that she never really hated you while we were on our date last weekend. She only hated you because you were friends with me and now that she doesn't hate me there's no reason for her to hate you".

"Okay so I just go up to her and be like 'Hey. So I figured you didn't hate me anymore, wanna go out?' That's ridiculous. She would never go for that".

"Alright maybe not exactly like that but I'm sure you can think of something. Just pretend like she's any other girl that you are asking out".

"You're serious? You really want me to go through with this?"

"Yes. Just do this for me please? I'll owe you big time".

"Dude trust me, you don't owe me anything".

A/N: Did you like it? I know it's short and that's why I'm going to upload the next chapter as fast as possible. Please, please, please review! How will I know if you love it or hate it if you don't tell me?
