A/N Sorry it took so long to update this! I hope you enjoy Chapter 2 :D

"I can't believe he asked me to go to The Three Broomsticks with him!" Louise squealed. She was sitting with Lily at the Gryffindor table over a mouth-watering meal of spaghetti bolognese.

"Yes," said Lily impatiently. "I know, you told me about 20 times!" Ever since that afternoon in the common room, Sirius was all Louise could talk about and it was driving her up the wall.

"Oh, Lily," Louise said through a mouthful of spaghetti.

"What?" Lily said, dreading the thought of having to pick out what Louise would wear on her date, or a task similar to that.

"What did James want? You never told me," Louise said casually. Lily, who had been drinking at the time, spluttered and fought hard not to spit her pumpkin juice all over her meal. When she had recovered, she turned a deep shade of red, clashing violently with her hair.

"Oh, nothing," she said, trying to act casually. "He was just asking about the Charms homework."

"Pah!" Louise scoffed. "Utter rubbish! I'm not going to fall for that! Who do think I am, Peter Pettigrew!?"

"Hey!" said a voice from just down the table. Louise turned and saw Peter sitting there hunched over his meal.

"Oh, sorry, Peter! I didn't know you were there," Louise said, blushing. She turned back to Lily. "Whoops!" she whispered. "But seriously, I know that's not what happened."

"I'll tell you back in the common room," Lily said quietly, pretending nothing had happened.

"Fine, but if you don't tell me, I'll hex you," Louise said.

"You and Sirius really are perfect for each other," Lily remarked. Louise beamed.

"I know."

There was a loud bang from the Entrance Hall and Sirius and James ran into the Great Hall laughing, closely followed by Remus, who was limping slightly.

"I'm going to kill you two one day!" Remus yelled at Sirius and James who were now nearly at the Gryffindor table, clutching their sides.

"What happened?" Lily asked James, glad of a distraction from the awkward conversation with Louise. James and Sirius sat down opposite the girls.

"We – got – Peeves – to –HAHAHAHAHA – to drop – water – balloons – on – Remus! HAHAHA!" he said, out of breath from laughing so much.

"But he – he – did – them – all – at – once! HAHAHA!" said Sirius. Both of them burst into a new round of laughter.

"And – and – Remus – slipped – and – fell – over! HAHAHA!" James said through his laughter.

"Oh no!" Lily said, worried. "Is he alright?"

"Ask – HAHA – him – yourself! HAHA!" Sirius said and indicated behind him. Remus was approaching them, red in the face and fuming.

"Remus, are you alright?!" Lily asked, standing up and going round the end of the table to him. Remus threw a scowl at James and Sirius.

"If looks could kill, you two would be dead," Louise said to James and Sirius who were now trying to stifle their laughter.

"Yes," Remus said through gritted teeth. "I'm alright." Lily scowled at James and Sirius and opened her arms to Remus for a hug. He willingly accepted and scowled over her shoulder at his so-called friends. James stopped laughing immediately and looked hurt. This made Sirius laugh even harder.

"HAHAHA! Jealous, James?" he said with a wicked grin. James elbowed him in the stomach before he could say anything else. He turned to his plate and started eating without another word. Sirius stopped laughing, but was still smiling wickedly.

"Stop it, Sirius," Louise said seriously. Sirius looked at her and she couldn't help but smile. She felt him nudge her with his foot and she gave him a quizzical look. He pointed under the table. She looked at Lily, but she was still comforting Remus and James was staring at his food so she reached under the table. She felt Sirius thrust a ball of paper into her hand. She took it and opened it out in her lap.

Meet me in the Owlery after tea – Sirius

She looked up and he raised his eyebrows. She nodded and smiled and he smiled back. Lily and Remus sat down and Lily noticed the knowing smile between Sirius and Louise.

"Are you two alright?" she asked with raised eyebrows. Sirius and Louise quickly looked away from each other and Louise blushed. She pushed her blonde hair behind her ear and started eating quickly. Lily and Remus looked at each other and started laughing. James looked even angrier and started pushing the spaghetti round his plate. Lily reached out and took his hand across the table.

"Meet me in the common room in a minute, James," she said and got up. She waved at everyone and walked out of the Hall. James looked shocked. He quickly finished his meal and ran out of the Hall. Louise, Sirius and Remus all laughed.

"Aww, he can be so adorable some times," Louise said. Sirius raised her eyebrows at her. She laughed. "Don't worry, there's no competition." Sirius beamed.

"Oh, please!" Remus remarked. "Get a room!" Sirius and Louise laughed.
