Mystery Girl • Sirius Black

Holy Badgers

It was later that night and the two Gryffindor gingers were sitting together in the empty dorm room.

"Okay so let me get this straight... you're friends with Sirius now?"

"Yes."

"Sirius Black? The Sirius Black?"

"Yes. That's the one."

"And you may or may not be going on a date with him?"

"Affirmative."

"But only because Hot Billy tried to ask you out first?"

"Hot Billy?"

"Just answer the question Ails!"

"Fine. Yes."

"You do realize this is more drama than you had your whole fourth year and it's only the second day of classes?" Said Lily raising an eyebrow.

"Yes. I am quite aware."

"Well... I have to go."

"Wait! What?! No! Where are you going!" Whined Ailee.

"Prefect duties!"

"You can't just leave me here alone in the midst of all my teenage angst Lilith!"

"Ta-ta!" Lily said with a little wave as she bounced out the door.

Meanwhile in the boys dorm.

"So you and Ailee are going to Hogsmead together?" Asked Remus.

"Yes."

"And you asked her."

"Yes."

"But you only asked because you were worried that she would go with Hot Billy instead?"

"Hot Billy?"

"I'm the one asking the questions here Padfoot!"

"Geez Moony.. yes. I suppose so."

"And She told you that she would like to go.."

"Affirmative."

"And that she was glad you were her 'friend'?"

"Yes..."

"And now you don't know if it's an actual date or if your just going as friends?"

"Yes."

"Well that's quite the predicament you've got going there paddy." Remus said shaking his head slowly.

"Yes."

"Well... I'll see you later then!"

"WHAT? No! WHY?"

"Prefect duties." He said as he made his way toward the door.

"Moooooonnnyyy!!!! You can't just leave me in the midst of my emotional turmoil!!"

"toodles!"

"Hmmph" Ailee grumbled as she sunk into the common room sofa later that evening. It was late and everyone had already gone to bed. Ailee tried to sleep, she really did, but she couldn't stop the racing thoughts in her head. She was so confused.

"Can't sleep?" Said a familiar tired voice from the sofa next to her.

"Eep! Phew! It's just you! I thought you were Ho- uh Billy.."

"Nope not Hot Billy, just boring ol Padfoot."

"Are you kidding me? You are the furthest thing from boring!"
