SATURDAY, OCTOBER 22nd 1977

The day that Lily has tricked me into going to Hogsmeade with the Gryffs has finally arrived and I am currently stood in the cold surrounded by four Slytherins and seven Gryffindors.

"I feel outnumbered" I hear Evan mumble to Mallory.

"That's because we are" She hisses back.

"Relax, you guys" Pandora giggles.

"Easy for you to say. You're always relaxed" Regulus retorts.

"You look well" James comments to Lily as we wait for Sirius who is running late.

"As do you" Lily replies.

"Oh, enough" I snap, causing the eleven people next to me to look at me in surprise "I cannot possibly watch this train wreck go on any longer"

"James, would you like to take Lily to the three broomsticks for a drink?" I add.

"I, uh..." James stutters.

"It's a simple question, Prongs. Yes or no?" I rush him.

"Yes" He decides "Yes, I would"

"Lily, would you like to go?" I ask the redhead.

"I'd love to" Lily nods.

"Excellent! How marvellous for you both" I say in a sarcastically cheery tone "Now we can stop dilly dallying and actually get to Hogsmeade today"

"Where the bloody hell is Sirius?!" I then shriek.

"Relax, cub" Remus tells me, messaging my shoulders.

"Relax?" Marlene scoffs "She just fixed a seven year problem in seven seconds. Let her continue"

"You're just hoping that I'll make Dorcas ask you out because you're too chicken to do it yourself" I retort.

Marlene is flabbergasted at the verbal attack while the others laugh in amusement and Dorcas doesn't even try to hide her smile.

"Go on then, McKinnon. Ask the girl out" I press.

"Cas?" Marlene smiles sheepishly.

"Yes" Dorcas nods and the older blonde smiles happily.

"Am I done playing matchmaker now? Or does Pete fancy Reg?" I huff in annoyance.

"You're all done for the day" Peter assures me.

"I'm here!" Sirius hollers, running to us.

"Oh, thank Merlin" I speak as we start walking to the village "Where have you been?"

"Where have you been?" Sirius retorts defensively.
