DEVYN'S P.O.V

.

.

I've only been sitting in this classroom for a total of twenty-six minutes, it's only the first day of lessons and I have already come to the conclusion of six things.

1- Professor Adams is extremely attractive.

2- Professor Adams knows he is extremely attractive.

3- Professor Adams has a very interesting way of teaching.

4- My boyfriend, Matt, does not like professor Adams because of reasons 1 and 2.

5- I left my quill in my dorm room.

6- I really need a haircut.

I don't really know why I decided to take muggle studies this year, considering I'm muggleborn. I would say it was because of Matt but then I would be lying. To be honest, Matt has grown pretty distant as of late and it's really annoying. It's not like I'm one of those overbearing girlfriends or anything but, correct me if I'm wrong, I'm almost positive that your boyfriend is supposed to pay at least a little attention to you. And he doesn't even really have an excuse. He's not a prefect, we don't have OWLS or NEWTS this year, and I'm pretty sure he hasn't gotten any life altering news lately.

As if reading my mind, Matt grabbed my left hand and smiled at me. I smiled back, happy to get the attention, even if it was only for a couple seconds. He turned away from me and went back to listening to professor Adams, which I realized I should also be doing.

"Alright class, that's it for today's lesson," I looked up at the clock he keep's hanging over his classroom door and realized that their was still fifteen minutes left of class. Nice of him to let us out early.

As we all started standing up and packing up our books I noticed Professor Adams furrowed his brow in confusion, "I said that was it for today's lesson, not today's class," he said, "Sit back down, I have a project to assign." Most of the class groaned at that but I was actually excited. If it was a group project Professor Adams seems like the kind of teacher to let you choose your own partners, and if that was the case than maybe me and Matt can work out whatever's going on with him and get back to normal.

"Now first things first, I'm going to assign you all partners," Or not. There goes my genius plan. Matt at least looked disappointed at this, as did most of the class. Professor Adams sighed, "Don't act like that guys, It's important to the project to have a partner that you don't know very well." The complaining stopped but most people still looked a little mad.

"Okay, Umm Matt," That was one of the main things I liked about Professor Adams; he always used our first names. I'll be the first to admit that it gets quite annoying being called 'Miss. Forest' all the time. "You go work with… uhh, Remus." Neither Remus nor Matt seemed to upset or overly thrilled about this paring. If I was Matt I would be ecstatic, Remus has to be one of the smartest people in our year, let alone our house. If this project had anything to do with using your brain, they would definitely pass. Matt picked up his already packed bag, smiled at me and moved over to sit next to Remus, taking Peter's seat. I've always thought Peter was a little creepy. Not in a perverted way but more of in a mysterious way. It always seems like he's up to something.

"Let's see, Peter, since you're already up go work with… Peyton," Peter seemed excited about that. Peyton's a really pretty girl but sort of a loner. The only person she really hangs out with is Tyra, one of our roommates. She's independent. I've always admired that about her. She looked really flattered by the way Peter acted but also slightly scared. I guess I wasn't the only one who got the weird vibe. Once he made it to the table Peyton made room for him at her otherwise empty table.

I was growing impatient while waiting for my partner to be chosen. There were only four of us left: Ryan Scott, Kyle Hastings, Sirius Black, and myself. I didn't really care who I was partnered up with, except maybe Ryan, he's always creeped me out a little. I would have liked to be partners with Lily Evans, we haven't ever really been friends but she's really smart so I would have made it work. But NOOOOOOOO… James Potter gets to work with her, bless his soul. The poor guys been in love with her for years and she doesn't even give him the time of day.

"Well…Ryan, how about you go work with Devyn," Crap. Just my luck. I sighed quietly but before I can get to upset Professor Adams changes his mind, "You know what, scratch that," Ryan stops walking halfway to my desk and turns to look at him, "You go with Kyle. Sirius come work with Devyn." I smiled. Much better. Me and Sirius got on pretty well for two people who knew absolutely nothing about each other. Sirius made his way over to my table and sat down. I smiled politely and he returned it. He had a very nice smile.

"Hi," I said with an awkward wave.

"Hey," He laughed then added, "partner."

I was about to continue our conversation by saying a casual 'how are you' but Professor Adams seemed to have other plans.

"This will be all of your assigned seats for the rest of the year," once again there was a chorus of groans and complaints but I had no problem with my new partner and looking over at Sirius he didn't seem to have any problems with me either, "And the stuff I'm handing out now is your project." I picked up one of the two packets he set on our desk while Sirius took the other one. Since its muggle studies we used paper and pencil instead of the usual parchment and quill, which I really enjoyed considering it's been just over five years and I still haven't mastered the art of writing with a quill.

After looking through the packet a couple times to say I was confused would be an understatement. I looked over at Sirius and he just shrugged as if to say, 'I have no idea.'

"This project is just a way to get to know each other, a way to feel comfortable with being partners. I have designed a 50-sheet packet, the one your all holding now, with over two thousand questions about yourself. You will be asking each other theses questions and filling them out as you go along. Don't worry about me reading them, because I wont, I have a spell that lets me know if you filled it all out correctly and shared ALL of the answers with each other. It's due by the end of this month, you may start now, we have… seven more minutes." The project seemed easy enough, a little personal, but easy.

I looked over at Sirius, "Hi," I said then mentally slapped myself, remembering I had just said hi not even two minutes ago.

He smiled, "You already said that."

"I did, didn't I," I agreed.

"Yeah," he chuckled slightly, "so…" he seemed to be looking for something to talk about, "What do you think about Adams?"

I shrugged, "He's alright, I guess. Not as cool as I expected him to be."

Sirius nodded his head in agreement but quickly changed his face to one of shock, "Are you kidding!" he said in a high pitched, girly voice, that caught me completely off guard, then he giggled, "Just look at him! I mean he's so dreamy… Can you say yummm!"

I stared at him with wide eyes for a few moments before I started laughing loudly. He chuckled along with me and in that moment I decided that Sirius was all right. I had heard many rumors about him being rude and scary but I had never really witnessed any of that myself so I'm just going to forget about it. Plus, my dad always said not to judge others without reason, and to my brother and me, my dads word is like gospel. So I've decided, for now Sirius is my friend.

"That was a direct quote from Kimberly," he said, rolling his eyes playfully. I grinned, not finding that hard to believe at all. Kimberly was one of those air headed girls, she was kind of sluty but you really cant help but love her. She's in my dorm too.

"So," I said, "What should we do."

"I don't know," My partner replied, "what can we do?"

"We can sit here and stare at our shoes," I offered with a shrug.

Sirius looked thoughtful for a few seconds before agreeing, "Okay."

A couple minutes passed in silence and my fingers began to strum a beat on the desk. My leg started shaking. My feet taping. My nose itching. Finally I broke, "Okay this is really boring."

Sirius looked relieved, "OH, thank God. I was going to say something but I felt bad."

"Don't feel bad," I said.

"Okay," He replied easily.

"So…" I really wanted to do something but for the life of me could not think of anything.

"So…" He imitated.

"Watcha doing?" I asked, knowing full well that he was doing the exact same thing as me… nothing.

"Nothing," He smiled slightly at the question.

"Cool," I commented, "Me too."

"I figured."

"Yeah," I was hoping that he didn't get to bored talking to me, "So, lets do something."

Sirius looked at me expectantly for a couple seconds before he spoke, "Well?"

I looked at him confused, "Well what?"

"Well… what do you want to do?"

"Oh, I was hoping you could pick something out this time," I said.

He closed his eyes for a few seconds and scrunched his eyebrows together. I assumed this was his thinking face.

"I got nothing," he finally said.

"Oh, that's no good," I sighed.

"Yeah, that's what I thought," he replied then looked over at me, "are you sure you don't have any ideas?"

"Well," I thought for a moment then said, "We could work on our project."

"Good idea," he flipped to the first page of the packet, "Do you want to go first?"

"No, Its fine, you can," I waved my hand in a manner that showed I didn't care.

"You sure?" he asked smiling.

"Yup."

"Okay then," he cleared his throat and tried to look very professional, "What's your full name?"

"Is that really a question?" I asked, slightly surprised that Professor Adams thought that we wouldn't even know each other's names.

"Yeah," he nodded, "See," he then flipped open my packet and pointed to the first question.

"And so it is," I said.

"Okay," he responded, looking at me expectantly.

"What?" I asked.

He raised an eyebrow, "You have to answer the question."

"You don't know my name?" I asked, "I'm hurt."

He laughed, "Don't be hurt, of course I know your name, it's Devyn Forest. I just remember Adams saying that we have to answer the questions verbally."

"Oh okay," I nodded, feeling slightly stupid, "Hi, I'm Devyn Renee Forest."

Sirius smiled as he wrote that down, "Renee?"

I nodded my head.

"That's a very pretty name," now I knew that all those rumors about him couldn't be true. He was sweet.

"Thank you," I smiled brightly.

"Your welcome," he said, "Your turn."

"Oh yeah, what's your name?" I asked. He grinned mischievously.

"Sirius Lee Black," I looked up at him grinning. He grinned back and suddenly I was laughing.

"Really!" I asked excitedly.

"No," he said, " I don't have a middle name."

"Oh," I was still smiling, "That would have been really cool."

He smiled, "I know, must people don't think that joke is very funny."

"I thought it was," I said, and then added, "You should legally make that your name."

"I was thinking about it actually," his face lit up, "Then when I introduce myself I could be like, 'the names Black… Sirius Lee Black' you know."

"Yeah, I'm kind of jealous," I laughed, wishing I had a cool name.

"That's understandable," he said, grinning all the while.

"So," I said looking back at my packet, "should I write Sirius Lee Black, or just Sirius Black?"

He thought for a couple moments, "Surprise me."

"Okay! Your going to be Sirius-lee surprised," I said with a smile.

"That was really corny," he laughed nonetheless.

"Yeah, I know," I said back. As I was writing down his name, Professor Adams dismissed us.

"Alright," He said standing up and gathering all his things, "Umm, how about we get started on this tonight, after dinner?"

"Sure," I said, following his lead, "Where should we meet?"

"Umm… How about the kitchens?" he asked.

"After dinner?"

"Yeah," He said.

"Well, wont we be full?" I wondered.

"Well we don't have to eat anything," He said.

"Okay then, the kitchens it is," I replied, spotting Matt beckoning me over.

"Sounds good," Sirius said as he joined his friends, James Potter, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew.

.

SIRIUS' P.O.V

"Sounds good," I replied before walking over to the guys, after noticing Matt call Devyn over to him.

"Hey guys," I said once I reached them, "I got to cancel on the whole Slytherin thing tonight, me and Devyn are working on our packet thing." Remus looked upset while James and Peter nodded.

"Me too," James smiled brightly, probably thinking about getting to work with Red all night. I honestly don't see what her problem is, James is a great guy and he pretty much worships the ground she walks on. I thought that was the kind of stuff girls liked.

Remus sighed, "I guess it's just me and you tonight Peter."

Peter coughed guiltily, "Actually me and Peyton are going to go ahead and get started too." Ha, poor moony.

"Ye-ah!" James smiled, patting Peter on the back, "Get in there, Wormtail!" I laughed loudly while Peter just smirked.

"What am I supposed to do then!" Remus looked like he was about to get mad and if there's one thing you should know it's that an angry werewolf is not fun. Not one bit.

"Why don't you start your project? Isn't that, like, your forte?" I suggested, knowing that Remus loved to get his work done early, but that just seemed to make him madder.

"Because Matt's a dick," He crossed his arms violently. Ohh, so that's why he was acting like a PMSing girl.

"Really?" I asked, finding it hard to believe. Devyn didn't seem like the kind of girl to put up with guys like that.

"Yeah, really," He confirmed, "All he talked about was how great he was, all the girls he thinks are 'worth bedding' and how tired of his girlfriend he is." I bawled my fist, suddenly angry. What the fuck was Matt's problem? Devyn's a really nice girl.

"He really said that about Devyn?" I asked, wanting to make sure he wasn't just over exaggerating. Maybe he heard wrong or something.

Remus looked over at me, completely confused for a second, "Who said anything about Devyn?" he asked then suddenly made the connection, "Oh."

"Yeah," I waited for a response.

"Well, Yeah, he said that but… who knows, they could be, fighting or… something," He trailed off. I didn't think they were fighting because she didn't seem upset or anything while we were talking. Plus, even if they were fighting, he still shouldn't be talking about 'bedding' other girls. Who even says that? Bedding?

"Don't do anything stupid, Padfoot," James said, probably noticing how angry I had gotten.

"Yeah, I know," I said, knowing it wasn't my place to intervene, especially considering I barely knew either one of them.

.

DEVYN'S P.O.V

I was sitting next to Matt at the Gryffindor table, our friends around us, well they were more his friends then my friends.

"So." He said, "What did Sirius say that was so funny?"

"I don't even really remember," Even if I did remember, it would be hard to pinpoint which time exactly he was talking about, Sirius had said a lot of funny things.

"It seemed pretty funny for something you didn't remember," he commented but after the look I gave him he dropped the subject, "Whatever," he said, "Anyways, Kimberly, how's your day been?" like I said before, Kimberly's just one of those people you cant help but love. I wouldn't say she's one of my close friends, to be honest I don't have any close friends here besides Matt, but her and Matt are pretty tight so she with us all the time. There are also Matt's two best friends, Kyle Hastings, who's hilarious, and Justin Marks, who's a dick.

"Yeah Kim," Justin said with a wink, "Why don't you tell us all how your day went."

Kim turned extremely red but grinned. About two seconds later Kyle jumped up randomly and glared at Matt.

"OW! Man, what the fuck was that for?" He asked as he clutched his leg.

Matt looked apologetic, "Sorry," He said, "That was supposed to be Justin."

"Why did you want to kick Justin?" Its not like I was complaining or anything, like I said, I'm not a big fan of Justin, but I was curious.

Justin, Matt and Kimberly all shared a secrete look while Matt hastily replied, "No reason."

Kyle and me looked at each other, both of us completely confused, "umm okay, that's not suspicious at all."

I hate that. It always seems like Kim, Justin, and Matt are hiding something. It makes me feel bad for Kyle too. Him and Matt were friend's way before stupid Justin came along and now Kyle is always left out of everything. I think I'm going to say something to Matt later tonight, after me and Sirius work on our project.

"So," I looked at Kyle, trying to ignore Matt, "How's working with Ryan?"

He shuddered, "Ehh, he's weird."

I laughed, "I figured… is it mean that I'm glad he's your partner instead of mine?"

He smiled, "A little, but I don't blame you."

"Then I'm sorry," I said returning the smile.

"It's fine," He laughed with a wave of his hand.

"I guess luck was just on my side," I said.

He agreed, "Yeah, I guess so."

"Yeah!" Matt said loudly. Both Kyle and me jumped in surprise, "Great for you! You're sooo lucky. Your partner is Sirius Fucking Black." I rolled my eyes, assuming he was just playing around.

"Don't roll your eyes at me," He warned. I felt like a little kid being yelled at by my father.

"Dude, calm down," Kyle advised Matt.

"Dude," Matt imitated, "No."

"What's your problem, man?" Kyle asked loudly, gaining the attention of a few people.

"What's my problem? What's my problem?" Matt slammed his hand down on the table loudly, "MY PROBLEM is that my girlfriend has been talking about Sirius Black all fucking Dinner!"

"Don't be jealous Matt," Kyle smirked.

I directed a scoff at Matt, "Your joking, right?"

"No, I'm not."

I looked at him with wide eyes, "Oh my God, I haven't even said his name once this entire time, you're the one who keeps bringing him up." He rolled eyes over dramatically.

"Don't roll your eyes at me," I mimicked him from earlier making Kyle laugh.

"Whatever." I laughed humorlessly as he, Kim, and Justin stood up and left.

I looked over at Kyle, "That had to be a joke, right?"

"Nah, I think Matt's just turning into a girl," He said while stealing my bread.

I slapped his hand away, "Hey!"

He smirked, "Hey, how are you?"

"That's not funny," I said but contradicted my words by smiling.

"Oh okay, so I'm just going to assume that you're smiling because it's your angry face?" He asked.

"Yes," I replied, "It is, actually."

"Well then," He began to eat MY bread, "I find that extremely fascinating."

"Many people do." I said.

"Please, do tell me more," I laughed slightly.

"This conversation is going nowhere."

Kyle looked up in interest, "I heard that's a lovely place."

I nodded my head in agreement, "Yes, but they say the weather is dreadful."

He shook his head in disappointment, "What a shame, I may have to rethink my vacation plans now."

"I think it would be best if you do," I said, trying to look solemn.

Kyle pretended to be sad for a few more seconds before smiling again, "Are we done now?"

I laughed, "Yes, I believe we are."

After that I started to eat my food, or what was left of it. A few seats down I noticed Sirius stand up and look in my direction. I smiled.

"Hey Kyle," he looked over at me, "Sorry to leave you alone but I'm going to go work on that project thing with Sirius."

He shrugged, "It's cool," then smirked, "But please remember to invite me to the wedding."

I laughed, "Don't worry, I will."

"But if I were you," he said, "I would leave Matt off the guest list."

"I couldn't agree more." And with that I walked over to Sirius.

"Hey, Sirius… Wait up!" I yelled causing him to turn around.

"Hey," he said when I finally caught up, "again."

"Sorry for having to follow you around but I may have forgotten to mention that I have no idea where the kitchens are…" He laughed and motioned for me to follow.

"So," We had been walking in complete silence for about ten minutes before Sirius decided to talk, "What's up?"

I sighed, "Nothing."

Sirius smiled a little, "That was a very unconvincing nothing."

"Matt's mad at me."

Sirius looked up curiously, "Why?" He asked.

I shrugged, "He's jealous."

"Of what?"

"You." That answer seemed to catch him off guard but he recovered quickly.

"Well, I can't say I blame him," he said jokingly, "I am pretty amazing."

"Modest too," I replied with a smile.

"Totally," he agreed, "I think I would be jealous too."

"It's only natural," I said.

He laughed for a few seconds then put on a serious face, "but really," he said, "What's he jealous of?"

"You," I repeated.

"Why?" he acted surprised.

"He thinks were going to get married," I said with a laugh.

"Who? You and him?" he asked confused.

"Me and you," I corrected.

"Oh," he smiled, "Well then, I guess the secretes out."

"I guess so," I played along.

"Who told him?" he investigated.

I raised an eyebrow, "Well… it could have been Kyle but I have my suspicions on Justin."

"That Justin… always up to no good," Sirius shook his head.

"That is true," I said.

"We never should have told him," He continued.

I nodded my head, "I told you it was a bad idea."

"And I just didn't listen, did I?" I shook my head.

"Nope, you never do," I crossed my arms and he laughed.

"Well, you cant marry someone who doesn't listen to you… can you?" He smiled.

"No, I guess you cant," I pretended to be sad.

"Well then I guess that's it then," he said.

"I guess so," I smiled.

"The wedding is off then," He assumed.

"I'm afraid it is," We stopped walking once we reached a painting of fruit.

"Matt will be thrilled," Sirius noted. I nodded.

We once again fell into a comfortable silence. I stared at the painting, then over to Sirius, then back at it again, waiting for an explanation.

The confusion set in, "Hey Sirius?" I questioned.

He looked over at me, "Yeah?"

"Is there a reason why were standing here?" I asked.

He nodded, "Yes."

I looked at him expectantly but that was all the response I got, "Well do you want to fill me in?"

He just grinned and then did the strangest thing. He tickled the pear. I was about to question his sanity but the words were lost once the portrait swung open and we were suddenly standing in front of the kitchen.

I looked to my left to see him smiling at me, "Cool isn't it?" he asked.

I nodded, "Very cool," I walked inside, "I don't want to know how you discovered the whole pear thing but still, very cool."

We sat down at one of the small tables in the kitchen and pulled out our packets.

"SO," he said, "We should start?"

I nodded, "Yeah."
