Alicia and the Marauders: Love Potion Trouble

    Alicia walked into the Gryfendor common room, only to see three of her best friends up to something, the fourth watching. "Remus, what are they doing now?" she asked.

    "Sirius found a potion that will make people fall in love with him. Now, he, James, and Peter are going to try it."

    "James, you do remember you're going out with Lilly, right?" She asked.

    "I know, but it's not like I'll be using it. Only Peter and Sirius are, I'm just helping to make it." Alicia sighed, then turned to Peter.

    "Wormtail, why are you even interested?"

    "Well, unlike the others, girls don't exactly like me that much." He said, sheepishly. She groaned.

    "Well count me out of this one."

    Remus picked up a book and flipped to a page, "Here's the immunity spell."

    "Thanks Moony." Alicia said, walking upstairs to her dorm to put the spell on both her and Lilly. The girl had a right to know what the boys were up to, whether or not James was actually going to use the potion.

    After she had left the common room, Sirius groaned. Remus sighed, "You do know that I wasn't going to let Otulissa be pulled in by your little potion, right Padfoot?"

    "Really Remus, you just had to give her the immunity spell. This could have been my one chance." Sirius pouted.

    "I think you're going about this the wrong way mate, besides, the potion only lasts for about two days." James said, looking at the Potions book. 

    "Yeah, well, it's time for plan B." 

    "I'm afraid to ask what that it." Peter said.

    "Make Alicia jealous."

    "You do know that one: she has a boyfriend. Two: It's hard to make her snap. And three: She may not even like you back." Remus said, knowing this was a bad idea.

    "Still, it's worth a try."

    The next day, Alicia and Lilly walked into the common room to see half of the girls in their house crowded around Sirius. They walked next to the rest of the Marauders.

    "He actually went through with it?" Lilly asked, the boys nodded in response, still knowing that Sirius was way in over his head.

    "Well, I'm going to head down into the great hall for breakfast before I'm late for my first class." Alicia said, picking up her books. As she began walking out, she said hi to Sirius, earning a few glares from the girls. Alicia rolled her eyes. This would be over in time, hopefully before the next full moon.

    The day went by, and the more the girls crowded around Sirius, the moor she got annoyed. It was one thing for him to be flirting in the halls, but another then he was surrounded by them while she was trying to help him do his Care for Magical Creatures essay on Hippogroffs. Heck, she couldn't even concentrate on her own essay. Not with those glares she got from the girls when she said one sentence to the boy.

    Sirius noticed that she was getting more frustrated than jealous. And to tell the truth, even he was getting tired of all this attention. It was because of this that he failed a test in a class he was best at. He scribbled down a note: Meet me in the Room of Requirements with the others. He then handed it to her.

    About an hour later, Sirius came into the Room of Requirements out of breath.

    "Let me guess, they wouldn't stop chasing you?" Alicia asked, the boys chuckling.

    "Spot on." He said when color returned to his face, "Remus, mind telling me if there's a spell to neutralize the potion?"

    A little later, Alicia was helping Sirius complete his essay; this time without girls being over protective of him.

    "So you weren't jealous?"

    "Why would I be jealous?"

    "Well maybe because I'm just that good looking."

    "Padfoot, do you want to wake up tomorrow to see your hair up i flames from a miniature dragon?" 

    "No..."

    "Then I suggest you stop being a spoils prat and finish your homework." Alicia said, getting up since she was already done with hers.

    Sirius sighed, "Yes mom." When she was out of earshot, he said to himself, "Dang it."
