The morning came quickly. I slept a little late despite someone attempting to wake me. It was nice of them but I was not a morning person. I changed quickly, remembering my school scheduled. I proceeded to the Potions classroom. I managed to find it which only a few hiccups along the way.

I was only a little late, other students were still walking in as well. I looked for an open seat until a hand caught my eye. It was Remus. I made my way over and took a seat. My father who was the new potions professor was introducing himself and taking roll call. He didn't call my name because he could clearly see I was there. I mean, Remus and I were in the front row. Potions was one of my favorite classes. Not because my father has always made it like some sort of a game but I generally enjoyed making potions. Now was I good at it? Oh no... I was not. But I loved it none-the-less.

Professor Blanchard went over what we would be learning this coming semester and assigned a review that would be due next class before dismissing class a little early. This morning felt like I was just going through the motions of going to class. I didn't have anything in particular on my mind but I couldn't help but be distracted.

"Aurora?"

My attention snapped forward, to realize there was a biscuit in front of my face. "I noticed you missed Breakfast so I brought this for you." Remus held. "It's never good to skip meals you know." He commented as I took the biscuit from him. "I just enjoy sleeping a little more than waking," I commented back with a laugh. "Don't we all Sweetheart," Sirius replied as him and James walked up. "Perhaps you're not getting enough restful sleep." Remus seems curious about my sleeping habits. "Do you toss and turn at night?" he inquired. I thought for a moment. "I do wake up quite frequently at night. I probably do toss and turn at night." I responded to his question. Before he could even say anything, Sirius leaned in close me, gently placed his hand on my upper arms, and whispered into my ear "I could fix that problem, Sweetheart."

I shook him off gently, and nervously laughed. "enough about my sleeping habits alright." I attempted to change the subject. Almost to save me, Katelyn appeared out of nowhere and grabbed onto Sirius. The air almost had an unwelcome feeling suddenly for me "Excuse me, I have things to be getting too." I stated before basically darting off into the directed of where my next class should be. The school day was pretty bland, I didn't really meet anyone notable per-say. I do have some interesting professors, however. One of them was part-goblin which was a sight to see. There weren't really any interesting characters at Ilvermorny. I had skipped lunch, not because I was doing anything important or anything. I just happened to get lost in the dungeons, it took my lunch and nearly my entire free period to figure how to get to my next class. I will not make this mistake again.

It was my last class of the day. It came and went swimmingly. By the time it was dinner I was starving. Barely eaten all day which wasn't like me at all. I arrived with Remus, he had 'coincidentally' ran into me on his way to the great hall. I shouldn't be too suspicious about it but It didn't add up. When we went over locations of classes, his last class of the day was on the fifth floor while mine was on the first floor. Unless he was lying about where his class was he had to have run all the way down. Just didn't seem right.

I decided not to think too much into it. They may have gotten out early?

We took a seat in the hall, soon James and his follower joined us but Sirius wasn't anywhere to be found. "Isn't Sirius going to be eating with us?" I commented. It was weird to not see him with the group that I've seem to become attached too. "He's probably off with Katelyn." James laughed as he started to eat. That was a fair enough excuse I guess. I couldn't say much, I had skipped breakfast and accidentally skipped lunch as well. At this point, I was shoveling food into my mouth.

Everything was just so Delicious tasting. Just in time for Desert, Sirius and Katelyn came strolling into the great hall and took a seat. "Hope we didn't keep you waiting," Sirius said while Katelyn giggled. I rolled my eyes, as I ate my piece of pie. "You missed all the exciting details about Aurora here" James commented about a conversation that never took place. Sirius looked from me to James. "I guess My Sweetheart will just have to give me a recap later" He smirked as I nearly choked on my pie. I washed it down with milk. "Oh no you missed it, You snooze you Lose" I replied. He frowned and turn his attention to Katelyn who had started pouting for some reason. Probably because no one was talking to her.

There was something really annoying about Katelyn but I didn't want to judge her too quickly, maybe she had some redeeming features? I wouldn't know. She wouldn't give me the time of day but then again I wasn't trying very hard.

The six of us made our way to the common room. I started working on homework. I wanted to have it all done for tomorrow so I could take a stroll around the castle tomorrow, get a sense of these surroundings. Before I knew it, It was very late. "Sleep well Aurora," Remus said as he left for bed.

I hadn't even realized everyone had gone to bed. Well, everyone but Sirius, Katelyn, and I. They were having a private conversation which I had no interest in listening too. It wasn't long until Katelyn left as well and it was just Sirius and me.

He took a seat next to me at the table and pulled out a bottle of Fire whiskey. "Drink a little." He suggested. "I don't drink, sorry." I lied while writing still. "It's a celebration drink. You only got lost a few times on your first day here," he stated before he took a drink. I looked at him, and the look on my face must have given me away. "Ahh, so I was right. You are new to Hogwarts. And I was just guessing." he chuckled as he took another swig and handed it to me. "Welcome to Hogwarts from wherever you were before. This place is great," he commented.

I sighed and took the drink from him. I drank some. Fire whiskey was one of my more liked drinks. The burning sensation down the throat always caused goose bumps for me. "Please do not discuss this information with anyone else. I feel quite embarrassed about it." I commented before taking another drink and handed it back to him. "If it helps, If we keep drinking I'll probably forget it by morning." he took a swig.

"I guess we'll just have to keep drinking then." I laughed. He just smiled and passed the drink to me. "What do you guys do around here for fun?" I asked before taking another drink. He gestured to the drink in my hand before speaking. "There's Hogsmeade on the weekends if we wish to go," he mentioned as I handed him the drink. "Small village nearby?" He nodded in response. "Fun place to be honest."

before I realized it. The bottle was empty, and it had been a good 30 minutes just talking with Sirius so freely but it was probably the whiskey just coming up with stuff to talk about. "It's pretty late" I was heavily intoxicated at this point. I started to gather up my things. "I should do the sleep." I added before pointing at him "You need the sleep too." Sirius quickly stood up. "I don't need the sleep." He declared to the world. He quickly lost his balance, I am not sure how but I managed to catch him before he fell. "I need the sleep" He muttered. He was heavy, I could barely keep him up to help him walk to boy's dormitory staircase.

After some serious balance issues on both our parts, we had nearly arrived at the staircase that is, until Sirius fell onto me, pinning me against the wall. At this point, the world was spinning and all I could see was his face real close to mine. His face brushed gently against mine and he grew closer. "Aurora" he whispered into my ear. His breath cooled my hot neck. I was at a loss for words due to being drunk or just overwhelmingly nervous under all this intoxication.

He took in a deep breath and forced himself off me and stumbled his way to the stairs without a word. I just stood there for a moment and in my drunken state, grabbed my things and headed to bed.
