FIFTH YEAR ╚═══*.·:·.☽✧ ✦ ✧☾.·:·.*═══╝
"AMARA DANIELLE POTTER, WILL YOU DO ME THE HONOURS AND GO ON A DATE WITH ME, SIRIUS ORION BLACK?"
"Do I have much of a choice?" Amara rolls her eyes playfully, ignoring the snickers coming from Lily and Marlene, who are standing rather smugly behind her.
"Nope." Sirius shakes his head, a grin on his face. "Fair is fair. We had a deal. You lost wizards' chess, and you had a choice. You could either listen to everything James says for a week, or you could go on a date with me. I have to say, you chose well."
Amara huffs and rolls her eyes again, but she doesn't hide the clear smile that shines through her features. "Very well, then. I suppose I will meet you at the Three Broomsticks tomorrow, at six pm sharp. Don't be late, I'm not going to wait around for you."
"I wouldn't dream of it, darling." Sirius winks with a satisfied smile. His chest is thrust out, and he's standing tall. He's proud, even if he won't admit it to himself. "See you tomorrow, my love." He calls out jokingly as she begins to walk away.

"I simply cannot believe that it has taken the two of you so long to go on a date," Marlene tells Amara later that night as the two get themselves ready for bed. "It's been five years. I would've thought you would've figured it out years ago."
"What on earth could you possibly mean? You do understand it's not a proper date, right? It's only because of that stupid dare." Amara shrugs, leaning closer to the vanity as she wipes away her mascara.
"Oh sure, sure." Marlene ties her hair back into a long braid that fell down her back. Amara had always been jealous of that hair, as she could never really get hers to grow past her chest. "And Merlin was a terrible wizard."
"Don't be silly, Marlene." Amara laughs nervously, packing up her facewash into her bag. "There's absolutely nothing going on between Sirius and me. I swear."
"Oh please," Marlene scoffs, shaking her head. "The two of you have been in love since first year. It somehow seems that the only people who don't see it are you and Sirius. Just do us all a favour and shag him already."
"Marlene!" Amara shrieks, her cheeks read in horror as she pokes her head out of the bathroom door. "We are not in love! And there will certainly be none of this shagging business that you speak of. Surely you agree with me, Lils?"
