"Lily..." said Marlene. "I'm heading out." She was dressed in a simple white tunic and a beige cardigan.

Lily swished around. "On a date?"

Marlene sighed and sat down. "Ok, don't tell this to anyone, Lils, but..." She took a deep breath. "I'm going on a date with Sirius."

Lily wasn't the type to squeal all the time, but this time, she did.

"Where? When? What are you wearing? WHY HAVEN'T YOU COMBED YOUR HAIR-"

"Shush," Marlene groaned. "It's just a one-time thing and it doesn't mean anything."

"I SHIP IT-"

"Shut up."

"YOU'RE GONNA BE MARRIED-"

"No."

"YOU'LL HAVE TINY ADORABLE BABIES EEEEEEEEEEEEHHH-"

"I- NO SHUSH- DISGUSTING, LILY!" Marlene mimicked vomiting.

"But seriously, though," said Lily. "You really have to comb your hair for this."

"No, Lily, my hair is a mess and it's staying that way." 

"Fine, fine." Lily smiled. "Though, may I ask..."

"Yeah?"

"Do you- you know... like him?"

Tough question, Marlene thought. Depends. He was always an idiot, that would never change. But... there was something just about him- like a general aura- that was just exciting for her.

"Don't ever tell anyone... but..." Marlene took a deep breath. "I kinda do... like him."

Lily was silent for a whole 10 seconds. Marlene waited to see her reaction.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-" Lily squealed again.

"What's going o-" Alice had entered the dormitory, but was cut off immediately by Lily.

"SHE ADMITTED HER LOVE FOR BLACK-"

Alice squinted, confused. "What do you mean, her love?"

"I MEAN SHE'S GOING ON A DATE WITH SIRIUS BLACK-"

Alice smiled warmly. "I always knew," she said fondly.

"It's just ONE date, you guys," groaned Marlene. "It doesn't mean anything."

"Of course it does."
