"No way, Black. That is not happening."

"Oh, c'mon. You have to admit it's a brilliant idea!"

"No it's not. It's completely stupid."

"Okay, it may be slightly stupid, but it just might work. You've got nothing to lose; you'll find out how he feels without having to come clean yourself."

Lily shook her head adamantly.

"Lily!" Sirius said, his eyes big and pleading. When she shook her head again, he continued, "So what are you going to do, then? Sit around for the next few months and hope that he'll ask you out again? Watch him go out with that Ravenclaw girl? Wouldn't you just love to watch him snog her at breakfast every morning, while she pressed her body up against him and -"

"All right, all right, I get it!" Lily's hands had gone cold and her stomach clenched uncomfortably. The mental picture alone was enough to make her miserable...She wavered for a moment. It was an incredibly stupid idea, and she was not the kind of girl to snog a random bloke she didn't have feelings for, but what else could she do?

She took a deep breath before saying, "Fine. I'll do it."

"Yes!" Sirius said loudly, drawing the attention of several Gryffindors throughout the common room.

"Shh," Lily hissed. "You seem awfully happy, Black. Are you sure you're not doing this for yourself?" She raised her eyebrow at him, her eyes narrowing.

"No offense Evans, but you're not really my type. Besides, you think I could betray James like that? Even if he didn't like you anymore, I would never go after you. Mates don't do that. It's against the code. I assure you, I'm doing this for James and his ultimate happiness, and for that reason alone."

"Alright, I believe you. But believe me, if you try anything, you'll be joining the ranks of the Hogwarts ghosts, and you'll have more gory injuries to show off to the new students every year than Nearly Headless Nick."

Sirius gulped and nodded. "I won't do anything more than I deem necessary for the act. Marauder's honor. Now c'mon. It's getting late. James and Remus have already been patrolling for half an hour, so we better get a move on."

"We're doing it tonight?"

"Might as well. There's no time like the present, after all. Unless, of course, you want to back out?"

Lily squared her shoulders, flipped her hair back, and stood up. "You coming, Black?" Sirius grinned.

"Follow me, Evans."

"No. Absolutely not. There is no way in bloody hell that I'm getting into a broom cupboard with you, Black," Lily said, staring at the door he was holding open and the small, dark space inside. "You failed to specify that little detail of the plan. Do you have any idea how cliché it is to snog in a broom cupboard?"

Sirius shrugged. "I figured it was the best way to make sure James would find us without making it too obvious or risking being found by someone besides James."

"No. There has to be some other way. I'd feel like a total tramp. Broom cupboards aren't exactly known for being the venue of innocent snogging. I don't want James to think I was up to anything more... inappropriate with you. And do you have any idea how scandalous it would be if the Head Girl was found in a broom cupboard after curfew? What if someone other than James did find us? I'm supposed to set a good example!"
