second year,
the dare

As the last lesson came to an end, she made her way to her common room, to gather her pyjamas for her first sleepover in Gryffindor tower. She sat in front of the mirror styling her hair into a double dutch braid. This way she wouldn't wake up with her hair in a frizzy knot, she spotted Regulus in the common room, she smiled.

She left her common room heading towards Gryffindor tower, as she walked up the stairs to Gryffindor tower, she wondered how Marlene was going to sneak her in. Her arms were hooked in Alice and Lily's arms, as Marlene and Mary jumped around so the Fat Lady was too distracted to notice her.

"I can't believe that worked," Alice said, hurrying her up to their bedroom,

"Aren't we going to sit in your common room?" Aimee questioned

"Yes, just after our prefect has gone to bed," Lily explained

"Oh alright," a smirk grew on Marlene's face.

"Why? Are you hoping to see Sirius?" she teased, causing her to blush.

"Oh my gosh, you are," Mary gasped

"No, I'm not,"

"Aww, our Aimee loves Sirius!" Alice said loudly.

"Will you keep it down Wonderland," she said

"Why" Marlene stood on her bed "SCARED HE'LL HEAR!"

"Marlene!"

"Relax we're only joking," Mary said,

She relaxed as the girls braided each others hair, Mary having the shortest hair braided Alice's hair, while she braided, Lily's hair, then she would braid Marlene's hair, while Marlene tightened Aimee's braids. The girls changed into their pyjamas, she wore a pair of shorts with an oversized t-shirt.

Meanwhile, in the boy's dormitory, Remus had left again he did this every month, but this time the boys were too suspicious James had picked up a book on Werewolves to look for signs that Remus may in fact be a werewolf. One of the signs was being irritable leading up to a full moon, and Remus was always a moody person a few nights before a full moon.

Then he would disappear the night of the full moon coming up with excuses like his mother was ill, or his father called him out of school to see his mother in the hospital, or he was ill himself. Sirius didn't like that James was trying to find out what Remus was hiding. He was their friend he'd tell them if he was a werewolf when he was ready.

"Can we do something else?" Sirius asked,

"Like what?" James asked, reading through the book.

"Dares?" Peter said,

"Yes, Potter I dare you to swing off the bed frame," he said,

"That's easy," he stood on his bed, grabbing his bed frame, swinging the frame broke causing James to fall, Sirius and Peter howled with laughter before checking he was alright, he adjusted his glasses.

"Alright Black, laugh it off," James said, looking at his now broken bedframe. "I dare you to ask Burke out," 

"What like you ask Evans out ALL the time," he mocked

"I think you won't do it, you're too chicken," James taunted him folding his arms over his chest.

"Oh, I'll do it, and I do one better, she'll say yes,"

"Now, how do you know that?" James questioned

"Because at least Aimee is my friend, Evans won't even talk to you, while you still pick on Snivellus-

"Me!" James exclaimed, "I seem to recall, four boys being involved in the pranks against him,"

"Alright, alright, I'll ask her out tomorrow," he said, shaking James hand, sealing their dare.

After nearly three hours of girl talk, between the Gryffindors and the Slytherin, Marlene left to check if the common room was clear of prefects, just a few students sat in the room. She smirked when, she saw Sirius, James and Peter, come from the boy's dormitory, she hurried to drag the girls downstairs.

She insisted that Aimee follow behind them all, as they reached the common room Marlene rushed over to the sofa, pulling her down with her. James nudged Peter when he saw the Slytherin girl sitting in their common room, he warned Peter to not say anything to Sirius.

"Sirius, if Burke was in here right now," he spoke, smiling at Peter "What would you do?"

"I'd walk right up to her and be like you, me, date night," Sirius said, James nodded his head

"Hi Burke," James shouted

"Har har, nice try-

"Hi Potter," Aimee shouted back, Sirius' eyes widened, he had hoped that James would've forgotten their dare by the morning.

"Go on then, ask her out," James said, he straightened his posture

"Alright, I will," Sirius said, he walked up to the sofa.

"Ladies," Sirius said, "may I speak with Aimee for a moment," he smiled at them, the girls quickly stood up, moving to the otherside of the common room, Sirius sat next to her, he leaned over to her

"What are you-

"Shh, I'm doing a dare with James, just say yes," he whispered, he moved away from her looking for her approval, she nodded her head.

"Do you want to go out with me on a date?" Sirius asked, she gasped

"Oh yes Sirius, yes, I'd love to go out with you," she shouted loudly as threw her arms around him,

"Did I do good?" she whispered in his ear.

"I little overboard but yes," he said, chuckling to himself, to sell it he wrapped his arms around her hugging her tightly, when he glanced over at James he stood with his mouth wide open, he hurried over to Lily.

"Lily flower will you go out with me?"

"Not in your dreams Potter,"

Aimee laughed as Lily rejected James' attempt of asking her out, she questioned the kind of dares they had going between them. The thought of Potter losing a dare was too good to say no to. After all, it wasn't like they had to kiss of anything, she just hoped it didn't go too far.
