"Well then let's make a bet. The first person to fall in love loses."
Jade Lovell is trying to enjoy her last year at Hogwarts with her best friends but the 'Marauders' kept getting in her way.
Especially Sirius Black.
When Jade agrees to play Si...
Mary and Lily squeal as they "fix" my hair on the couch in the common room.
"Oh my god. Please leave me aloneee." I whine scooting away from them.
"But how could we possibly?"
"Baby's first date!"
"They really do grow up so fast."
The girls tease me while I discreetly try to cover my flushed face.
I fell asleep early last night and only told the girls about my date this morning. They freaked out and haven't stopped teasing me since. Mary had tried to convince me about a thousand times to wear a dress but I really didn't want to make this a big deal so I went a little more casual.

We finished getting ready kind of early so Lily suggested we hang out in the common room for a little.
"It's really not that big a deal. It's just Declan Owens." I tuck away a few loose pieces of my braided hair, trying to reason with them.
"It is a big deal! It's your first date at Hogsmeade. It's a rite of passage!" Lily excitedly gestures while she's talking.
Mary nods her head, "Plus Declan is hot."
I laugh and shake my head. "Yeah yeah, well if this doesn't go well then I'll send him your way MacDonald."
They laugh and I glance over at Marlene.
She's leaning against the wall by the Fat Lady's portrait, wringing her hands and looking around anxiously.
I lean in more towards Mary and Lily, "What's wrong with Mar?" I question quietly.
Mary glances over at her, "Merlin, look at her." She laughs towards Lily. "She's all nervous because her and Dorcas agreed that they would go to Hogsmeade together."
I gasp, "Wait, like a date?!"
"No." Marlene clearly hears us talking, "It's not a date," She says still nervous, "It's just two friends... going to Hogsmeade together."
Mary exaggeratedly hums in agreement. "Right. Right. Two friends...in love with each other... who want to snog the other...just hanging out at Hogsmeade."
Marlene's face turns crimson. "You know what MacDonald? You wanna go?" She walks over to us dramatically raising her fists.
Mary stands up from the couch preparing herself. Lily and I laugh as she begs for us to hold her back, her voice laced with sarcasm. Just as Marlene is about to throw a fake punch we hear footsteps eagerly hurrying down the stairs.
Marlene runs her fingers through her hair while quickly moving away from us. We all turn away trying to look like we're not about to eavesdrop on the conversation that follows.
