((After the exchange in his diary seen in this thread: http://s1.zetaboards.com/MayhemAndMagic/topic/1964480/1/))

Sirius checked in on his journal every now and then, but Esme's question deserved a personal answer. He lurked, waiting until he saw her sit on the couch and pull his not-so-carefully hidden journal out, presumeably to check for the latest replies (how were the Prewitts continually getting into the Tower without his noticing!?).

"Hey," he said, emerging from his hiding spot to drape himself gracefully over the couch beside Esme Meadowes. "The answer, by the way, is I think I'd like that. Since you're the asker, though, did you have anything in mind?" One arm was stretched out across the back of the couch, behind Esme but making no attempt to wrap around her shoulders, and Sirius was offering her a softer version of his usual charming grin.

Esme set down the book she had been reading, her eyes wide.

"Really? You're not joking? I mean, yes. I mean-" she paused and exhaled slowly, trying to calm her nerves. "I don't really have any specifics in mind. How about a butterbeer or something?"

"Butterbeer?" Sirius raised an eyebrow. "You want to wait until the first Hogsmeade weekend, or... did you want me to smuggle you out of the castle sooner than that?" He grinned mischievously. There was one secret tunnel that the Marauders allowed each other to take dates or friends through. It was one Filch knew about, but they had set up detection spells at either end so they could know when Filch was nearby.

"I'm flattered, actually, Esme," Sirius said. "Usually I'm the one asking a girl out. How does this weekend look for you? Saturday night?"

"Well I'm not just an average girl." she told him smugly. "And if you're asking if I would be willing to participate in some sort of rule-breaking adventure than I must certainly say that I am in."

"Saturday night... let's say nine? We can meet here." Sirius slid his arm forward now, wrapping it around Esme's shoulders loosely. "I'll take you to Hogsmeade, the Three Broomsticks. We'll grab some butterbeers and find someplace else to enjoy them." He raised an eyebrow at her. "Sound like a plan?"

"You're full of mystery Sirius Black. I must admit that I'm now anxious to see what you have planned." she mused, leaning a bit closer and resting her head on his shoulder. "Nine sounds great." She tried her hardest not to scream. He had his arm around her. And he had accepted. She was going to write her brother immediatly.

Sirius chuckled. "You're just going to have to wait," he said. "I'm a Marauder. I never give away secrets before the prank." He winked at Esme.

Esme nodded. "I do enjoy a good surprise." she told him, but her voice soon fell. "I hate to do this, but I really need to go to bed. Herbology quiz tomorrow, you know. I need to be well rested and it's getting late."

"Not a problem," Sirius said, getting to his feet and offering Esme a hand up. "You should be well rested for Saturday, too." He brushed his lips over the back of Esme's hand, still smiling at her. "Good night, Esme. Good luck on your quiz!"

Esme couldn't control the huge smile that spread across her face as she headed up the stairs to her dorm. "Good night Sirius."
