j.potter's POV

"Should we wake them up?"

"Shhh no their cute."

"Godric give me strength. Boys they haven't been allowed to sleep because of a possible concussion and this morning I came in and gave her permission, so not wake up miss Diggory and mr potter." I heard madam Pomfrey crucify Sirius and Remus. Take that snuffles because I always look cute.

"What time should we wake them up?" Remus asked and I just didn't want to move. Diana was asleep on top of me. My eyes were welded shut but I could feel her weight on me like the most soothing blanket ever and she smelt like cinnamon and pumpkin as ever.

"Whenever they wake up is when their ready now let them rest, I've excused them from classes." She beckoned. I heard two sets of footsteps move onto the distance but I felt my glasses pulled off my face along with giggling hushed in the background.

I slowly faded back to sleep but woke up feeling extremely uncomfortable. Not physically but something felt off as if someone was watching me. I opened my eyes to see Peter, tightly clenching his jaw tightly.

My eyes scanned further down to see him holding a small bouquet of flowers. He dropped along with a card and then we walked away rubbing his eyes. So Sirius was wrong and this isn't a small crush.

I looked to the clock on the wall in front us. "Hmm." I heard Diana emit the noise. "go back to sleep." I said and she rolled off of me. "Don't tell me what to do, I'm waking up now." She said whinily and sat up.

"I should not have done that this fast." Diana said gripping her head in her hands. I moved my hand to her back to give her support and she turned to look at me. "Last night actually happened?" She asked and smiled.

"Yes it did." I said and gave her a small smile in return.

"Ok um goodbye then." She said and kissed my cheek before getting off the cot and walked out of the infirmary, still barefoot. I watched as she walked away and took her things into my arms and made my voyage back to out dorm.

As I stepped out of the double doors I heard Diana talking to someone. "Thank you so much, Pete. The flowers are gorgeous." She said and I saw Peter almost backing her into the wall handing her a bouquet of blood red chrysanthemums.

"I just wanted to talk to you about something for a second?" He asked her and she nodded, she had to slightly lean down to talk to him as they were the same height. "I um I like you and I was wondering if I could buy you a butter beer sometime?" He asked her.

She had this look on her face, it was a look I was most familiar with. Diana mimicked a deer caught in head lights as she looked at Peter. So very confused and in danger- of doing or saying the wrong thing.

"Please don't be in love with someone else." He started moving his hands through his hair before rapidly apologizing. "What? Oh I'm simply not looking for a relationship right now." She replied. And tried to calm him down.

"Prongs! You missed it!"

Sirius came running to me and starting talking to me. "Last night a first year got hexed with the tickling charm. It was bad they didn't stop laughing till this morning and what's worse is they had mud- well you know, written on their forehead." He spoke rapidly and as I glimpsed again to my left I saw Peter standing their alone with flowers.

"Any suspects?" I asked him and crossed my arms. "Well no but some sadistic bastard is calling them the heckler." He said and looked at me. "Merlin, Prongs you look exhausted let me help you with your things to your dorm." Sirius said and took some of the items in my arms away from me.

As we walked it was in silence which for Sirius Orion Black is a terrifing thing. Out of the corner of my eye it appeared as he was trying to say something but it wasn't coming out. "What did you?" I asked and Sirius bit his bottom lip. "Nothing." He said and scratched the back of his neck.

When we reached the door of my dorm I turned to him. "Sirius." And he copied, "James." And I narrowed my eyes, "If you have something to tell me, you have a
Five minute window after I open this door before I fall back asleep." I said and he nodded.

I opened my door and walked inside and as I heard sirius close the door behind me he said, "I kissed Remus." And then I turned around. "When? 'Cause it's October and people owe me money." I asked him and he crossed his arms.

"Who? And why bet on my love life? It's incredibly rude and whorish if you ask me, are you outing yourself as a whore, James? Because-" and I stopped him. "Wormtail said before the end of seventh year, Ranger said near or during Christmas and I said before the holidays. I'm not disclosing the amount of which I will be receiving but yes. I am a whore." I said straight faced and Sirius looked at me.

He put his hand over his mouth as made eye contact, desperately trying not to laugh, "A dirty, dirty whore who needs to be punished. That's how much of a slut I am, Sirius. These are the things that money makes me do." I announced proudly and then both of us lost our minds laughing.

"But legitimately, tell me what happened with Mooney?" I asked him when he sat next to me on the bed after his attack of laughter. "Well we were studying and flirting like always then I realized how close to his face I got and I just stared at him. Like for a while and he didn't pull away for I put my hand on his face and just ya'know gave him a smooch." Sirius said and then looked at me.

"You gave Remus Lupin a smooch?" I asked and he nodded. "He kissed me back if it helps, I just don't know how to proceed like do I ask him to hogsmeade?" Sirius said. I nodded and then put my hand on his shoulder.

"He didn't kiss you back, Sirius. He smooched you back."

"Shut up." He said and shoved me.
