Waking up earlier than I have to, is never a good thing. I'm practically falling asleep.. and I still haven't figured out how I'm going to actually carry out the plan to prank Sirius. I know that it's got to be something extremely embarrassing, maybe a charm that doesn't wear out for a week, or a potion that turns makes him bald..
I woke up an hour later, to the sound of James and Sirius trampling first years who had stopped to talk in front of the stairs to the common room. I must have fallen asleep before I could make any final plans.
"Hey, Jules, are you coming down to breakfast with us?" James offered me his hand, and pulled me up to my feet.
"Yeah I suppose." I grumbled, and let James drag me by my hand out of the room, and down the hall.
"So did you finish all your homework?" Sirius was trailing alongside James, but as he said this, he cut in between James and I, and as my hand dropped back down to my side, he scooped it back up. I was too tired to argue or wonder why he did that, so I just went along with it.
"No, the essay for Slughorn was impossible." I lied, it was actually the easiest out of the bunch. Sirius, of course, agreed that it was difficult, but James knew that potions came extremely easy to me, and he looked suspicious. I wonder if he knows I wasn't doing homework before I fell asleep. "So um. What's the schedule today after classes are finished?"
"Quidditch practice, and no homework. It's friday, so we have all weekend to do it. Plus, hogsmeade is tomorrow. Did you finally give in to Davis and agree to go on a date with him?" James wiggled his eyebrows.
"Nope. Did you finally ask out Lilly to go on a date with you?" I wiggled my eyebrows back at him.
"Nope. How about you Sirius, who's your date that you asked out? Have we met her?" Sirius looked startled.
"Oh uh.. it's just Abby Parker, from Hufflepuff…" Sirius looked ahead, taking a sudden interest in a painting we were about to pass.
"You mean Abby.. As in your ex girlfriend.. As in the girl who died my hair orange for three days?" I glared at Sirius. Didn't he remember how mean she was? She died my hair orange in my sleep just for hanging out with Sirius like I normally do, while she was dating him.
"Well. Yes. But you can't blame me, I mean she's hot. Like, on fire." James chuckled, and shook his head.
"Mhm. Well, then I guess this is a good time to tell you I had actually said yes to Davis.. I just didn't want you to get mad, but now you can't blame me. I mean, he's hot. Like, on fire." Sirius's jaw dropped.
"You actually said yes to that dork? Davis is the biggest loser in the school! Why didn't you ask me to go with you instead? He would have stopped bugging you, and you wouldn't have been forced to say yes to make him stop asking." Sirius was pissed off.
"One problem with that, you had already made plans with your beloved Abby. Also, you seem to be the only one who thinks he's a loser. I wasn't kidding when I said he's hot.. With him being a beater, he has a lot of muscles.." I trailed off, trying to annoy Sirius as much as I could.
"Hey, don't use that card. I'm a beater too, and I'm stronger than he will be any day. So that's not an excuse. But I'm sorry about Abby. If I knew you needed an escape from Davis, I wouldn't have asked her." James started whistling next to him, wanting to stay out of it.
"Sorry to burst your bubble, Black, but I didn't want an excuse. I said yes willingly, not out of pity or annoyance." I huffed, getting agitated. Why did he care so much anyways? I didn't expect him to continue this conversation for this long. "Why don't you like Davis anyways? It's not like he gave you a reason to hate him."
"He's just a prat." And with that, Sirius quickened his pace, making james and I have to jog to follow.
"Oh grow up. We're equal. You're going on a date with someone I hate, and I'm going on a date with someone you hate. Except I actually have a reason to hate her, and you don't." Sirius slowed down, and entered the Great Hall.
We sat down at our usual spots, with Lilly and Marlene. Davis and Jonas were a few seats away, discussing quidditch plays for our match next week against Ravenclaw. Whenever Davis looked over, Sirius stared daggers through him. Davis was completely confused. I would be too. He's probably asking what's Sirius's deal today.. He doesn't know I told him about our date this weekend. In fact, he doesn't even know we have a date this weekend.
Once breakfast was over, Sirius got up and walked to herbology, which we shared with hufflepuffs, alongside Abby. James ran off to our common room, saying he forgot his books. This was most likely my only chance today to talk to Davis alone, except he was with Jonas.
"Hey Jonas, James was wondering, if you had a minute, if you could explain one of the plays to him. He's up in the common room if you have time before class." Jonas and Davis stopped talking, looked over at me, shrugged, and parted ways.
"Oh uh Davis?" He turned around and waited for me to catch up. "So.. I was wondering.. if you're still free this weekend.. would you maybe want to go to hogsmeade with me? You know.. as a date?"
He looked at me curiously, probably remembering all the times I had turned him down. After a while, he responded. "Yeah, okay." I smiled, and he held my hand and smiled back. Maybe getting back at Sirius wasn't going to be too difficult. And after all, this isn't all that bad. Plus, this is only step one of my revenge against Black. Step two, is the real plan of attack. And it may, or may not, have been inspired by Abby.
