"YOU'RE BEING DAFT, JAMESY, COME ON," SIRIUS SAID WITH A HUFF AS JAMES ROLLS HIS EYES. James and Sirius were currently in the courtyard, talking about their . . . relationship problems. Sirius was helping James with Serena, while James tries to come up with ways for Remus to talk to Sirius. One of things James has noticed that Sirius does not how to apologize properly. He makes the person even more angry, or sad. So, James needs to help him.

"Daft?! Bloody hell Pads, you don't get it! She bloody hates me," James sighs, earning a loud scoff from Sirius. James turned to Sirius with a grunt. "What?" 

"Who does?" Peter comes up to his friends and sets his bag down, as he sits next James. 

"Serena, we're talking about Serena. Here's the thing about women, Jamesy: They say they're mad, but they're not! All you need to do is . . . actually, James, you've done enough damage, I'll help!" Sirius smirks at James, earning a chuckle from Peter. James rolls his eyes once again, a sigh leaving his mouth moments after.

"It's pretty ironic, Pads, you say you know women, when you have a bloody crush on-" James was hit by Sirius, as another playful chuckle falls out of Peter's mouth. "What! It's true," he laughs, as Sirius rolls his eyes.

"Shut your mouth Potter,"

"Ooh! Potter, are you that mad?" James winks playfully at his friend. Sirius sighs as he take out a cigarette, and lights it. 

"Like I was saying -- I'll help you get back your angel Serena back," Sirius informed, as James nodded happily. Peter turns his body to his friends. 

"Anyways . . . the winter ball, who are we taking?" Peter glances at Sirius, as James takes a drink of water. James puts down the water bottle with a sigh.

"Dunno yet, maybe . . . Mary?"

Peter rolls his eyes. "She's going with Dorcas,"

"Why don't we just go as a group?" Peter added, a snicker coming out of Sirius. James shakes his head. 

"No! 'Course not Pete, I'm going with someone this year," James says in an annoyed manner, as Sirius laughs loudly.

"Prongs you say that every year, but then end up third wheeling with Sirius or me!" Peter lets out a laugh, as James scoffs.

"Well! I'm sorry I don't just go with any person I see!" James defends himself, as Sirius hands him the cigarette he was smoking. 

"Whatever -- but if you listen to everything I say, Serena will go with you!" Sirius smiles, as James nods.

"God it hurts," Serena moans uncomfortably as Lily sighs and rubs her back, trying to calm the aggravated girl. "I hate my period." They were both in the Grand Hall getting ready to go to Potions, waiting for Marlene's arrival. 

Lily frowns at the girl. "Don't worry, love. It'll be over soon," 

Serena groans as she shifts in her chair. After studying with Remus, she realized not all the marauders are horrible and gits. Remus is nice, and he understands where she's coming from. "I hate my cramps, Lils,"

"Why don't you go to Madam Pomfrey? She'll get some charms to help," Lily offers, but Serena shakes her head with a sigh.

"I can get through this! Periods are -- uhm . . . Periods can't control me!"  

Lily let out a laugh. "They don't control you, Rena, they simply . . . well --"

"Hello ladies!" Marlene winked as she sat down next to Lily. "How are you?"

"Just peachy,"

"Amazing, what about you Marls?" Lily smiles at Marlene, a blush coming onto her face. After the party, Marlene and Lily have been exceptionally close lately. Marlene hadn't asked Lily to the Winter Ball, and Serena is making it her mission to make one of the girls ask.

"Good now that you're here," Marlene smirked at Lily, making Serena roll her eyes playfully. 

"Uhm -- now that you're here Marls, maybe we should get going to Potions?" Serena suggested, making Lily nod and take the girls' hands. 

"Okay, so what are the plans for the Winter Ball?" Marlene questions as they start making their way to Potions. Lily shrugs. 

Every year, Lily, Marlene, and Serena go to every ball together. It's become a tradition at this point, but Serena has a feeling that this year would be different. "Hm, should we actually get dates this year?"

Lily shook her head. "Uhm! No-"

"I agree with Rena, getting dates will do us all some us some good," Marlene nodded, as Lily sighed. 

"I guess, let's do it." 

--

Serena laid in the courtyard, in pain. She tried keeping her mind off the of the cramps, but it wasn't working. When she has periods in the summer, when she's back in the Muggle cities, she had the television to keep her mind occupied but at Hogwarts, there's nothing you could do. 

Lily and Marlene were studying and Serena didn't want to third wheel again. Serena loves those girls but Merlin, they are just too lovey dovey for her taste. She heard footsteps behind her, causing the girl to turn around and face them.

She rolled her eyes in annoyance as she realized it was Sirius Black. "What do want, Black?"

"I just wanted to spend time with my favorite little Ravenclaw," Sirius said in soft voice, sitting next to Serena. She had a confused and somewhat weirded out expression plastered on her face as he sat down. 

"Favorite Ravenclaw? What? You've talked me how many times, once? Maybe twice?" Serena tried her best not to let out a groan. 

"That doesn't mean you're not my favorite --"

"Serena?" The blonde Hufflepuff from the party walked up to the duo with a smile on his face.  Serena glanced at the boy with a frown before quickly realizing who he was, changing her expression completely.

"Yes, uhm -- I'm Serena,"

Sirius watched the boy in utter disgust. "And you are --?"

"Oh uhm, Daxon Fawley," The boy didn't even look at Sirius, fixing his gaze on just Serena. 

"Oh," Serena breathed out and smiled. When she kissed him at the party, she didn't realize how hot he is. "What would you like?"

"Well after we kissed at the party-"

Sirius let out a groan, and crossed his legs, watching the boy.

"I could not get you out of my head-"

Sirius let a sigh, earning a warning glare from Serena. 

"And I was wondering if you'd you go on a date to Hogsmeade with me on Friday?"

Sirus glared at Daxon, and let out a retching sound. Serena rolled her eyes. 

"Just uhm, ignore him -- of course! I'd love too, Daxon!"

Daxon smiled at Serena. "Great!"

"Lovely," Serena blushed, as Sirus rolled his eyes. Serena moved her gaze to Sirus with a soft sigh. "Why are you still here?"

"What! I can't hang out with my favorite Ravenclaw!"

"For the last bloody time, I can't be your favorite if you've talked to me twice!"

"Well, Serena, now I've talked to three times!"

"Still! --"

"I'll uhm . . . see you Friday?" Daxon spoke, as the duo turned their heads to him. Serena grinned.

"Yeah, yeah. Of course. I'll see you!"

Sirus sighed. "That was awfully awkward, dear Serena."

Serena rolled her eyes for the fiftieth time today, and sighed.
