N/A: Yay!!! chapter 3. I'm so happy!!!

Chapter 3

I sat down at the breakfast table, first day of classes. I wonder what my schedule will be like. This year everyone wouldn't be in the same classes because of the NEWTs. Stupid tests. Elle and I had tried to get around the same classes, but because of our scores on the OWLs we had to choose a few different classes, Alice had barely anything with me because our strong points were basically opposite. I did fairly well on everything, but only in Potions, DADA, Charms and Transfiguration I got O's, Alice got O's in everything else, except we both didn't do as well in History of Magic, face it, it's impossible to stay focused when a ghost is teaching the class. The entire class could fly out the windows and Professor Binns would just keep droning on and on about Warlocks.

I'm still not positive on the career I want to take, but I'm leaning towards being an Auror. So for so good, I hope my luck holds out, as long as I get good grades on the NEWTs I should be fine.

"Ms. Evans," Professor McGonagall handed me my schedule. I opened it quickly and looked down the list. Elle looked over my shoulder.

"We have five classes together. Nice one!" She said happily. She turned and looked at Alice's. "Aw, only two classes, darn."

I glanced at Alice's list, "Wow, we have four together, I'm surprised!" I said, astonished.

"Notice two are ones we have to take, the other two are Potions and Charms, which I was barely able to get up to." Alice looked closely at our schedules.

"Yeah, and I want to be a Healer, so I don't have as many with you, Alice." Elle complained.

"Well, Healers and Ministry people are kind of far away, Auror, on the other hand, needs just about everything." Alice said. Frank Longbottom saw her and sat down next to her.

"Hi Frank!" I said, Elle pretended to throw up in her breakfast when he put his arm around Alice's shoulders and kissed her lightly on the cheek.

"Hey," Frank said, looking at his and Alice's classes. "Six together."

Elle was thrown into a giggle attack, unnoticed by the happy couple, and I stood up and pulled her out of the Great Hall where she doubled over in laughter.

"What is wrong with you?" I shook my head.

"You- gasp- didn't- gasp- see- gasp- their- gasp- faces!" Elle managed to get out between gasps.

"What?" I asked.

Elle couldn't speak, she was laughing to hard, but finally when she did manage to calm herself down it was time to go to our fist class, which we had together, and with Alice.

"Why do we have to take History of Magic again, it's so boring and I don't even pick up a single word that comes out of that guy's mouth." Elle complained.

"Do you think I want to take this class?" I asked, looking for seats.

"Of course not!" Elle said. "No one wants to."

"Don't let Binns hear you say that." Alice warned.

"Are you kidding, you could yell it in his face and he would just keep droning on and on." I said.

"True," Alice admitted.

"Come on, class is starting soon," Frank pulled Alice into the seat next to his and got out his notes paper, you know the one where you pass notes in class, yeah, that one.

I sat down next to Elle, who was next to Alice, and got out my 'notes' paper.

"Don't turn around," Elle whispered in my ear.

"You have got to be kidding me," I whispered, "Again?"

"Sorry, you can't help it." Elle smiled.

"And you find it amusing, fantastic." I said sarcastically.

"Sorry, but I am not in your place, so I don't know how you feel." Elle shrugged.

"No," I said, picking up on what she was saying, "you rather enjoy having them sit behind me, so they can sit behind you, too."

She blushed ever so slightly, "No way, I-"

Just them Professor Binns entered the class through the chalk board, the most exciting part of the class, here comes the droning.

And to make thing even better, I could feel Potter's eye's on the back of my head, and heard constant whispering between him and Black, just fantastic. I rolled my eyes and tried to focus on Binns, but that was rather impossible, and I ended up doodling on my paper. I will have to catch up by reading it while doing my homework, though it would probably be less boring.

Elle's head thudded against her desk then shot back up, her eye's wide, not realizing she had fallen asleep. Then quickly went back to staring at the wall with her chin in her hands.

Finally, when almost half the class was asleep, the class ended, and I stood up to go when, who else, but Potter called my name.

"Lily." He tapped me on my shoulder.

I almost yelled, "What Potter!" But I didn't, I just turned around and silently raised my eyebrows in an unasked question.

"Head duties tonight, Nine?" He said, surprising me, to say the least.

"Yeah, sure, I guess." I said, stunned.

"Okay, see ya then." He ran up and started talking to Sirius as he walked down the hall to his next class.

"Did he just talk to you without-" Elle started.

"Third time in a row," I said, "That's a little intimidating, and I don't really know why."

"Well, no time to dwell on it now, let's get to our next class." Elle said, braking me from my thoughts.

"Right, class," I said, still dazed, "Off we go."
