Whipped Cream Faces

The bell rang and they all ran inside for Transfiguration. Once again James, Sirius, and Melissa were not paying attention

Hi

Hey Lissy

Howdy

Are we allowed to be doing this, again?

Ah, who cares? I don't think its notes; I think we are actually doing something

Damn! Great, now we can't have our pleasant little conversation

There's always DADA

She's got a point, but still. I don't want to work!

That's what you're suppose to do in school though

Whatever

McGonagall is coming over here!

Quick, confiscate the evidence!

Sirius threw the paper at James who caught it with his Chaser skills; he crumpled the paper and threw it under the desk. McGonagall came over and looked sternly at the boys and softened her expression at Melissa. She smiled and gave them their object to Transfigure. McGonagall was the only other teacher who knew about her being from the future, of course Dumbledore asked Melissa before he told her. James casually bent down and retrieved the paper. He motioned it towards Melissa. She shrugged her shoulders and pointed to Sirius.

"Hey, Sirius!" James said in a whisper.

"What?" Sirius said, whispering too.

"Are we still conversing?" James asked.

"Sure," Sirius said, grabbing the paper. He read it over to know what to say and quickly scribbled something.

What are we suppose to do?

I don't know, I think we have to transfigure this rose into a bird

You sure?

Not quite, ask Remus

James took the paper, crumpled the paper once more, looked to see McGonagall in the back on the classroom, and then threw the paper at the back of Remus' head. He jumped up and turned to see James, Sirius, and Melissa waving. He looked mad until he saw Melissa then he mouthed 'What do you want?' James took a piece of paper and wrote in big letter…

Directions

Remus rolled his eyes, and demonstrated with his rose. He turned it into a lovely white dove and it flew towards Melissa. She started to blush, she didn't even know why. Immediately they took their wands out and turned their roses into birds to they could talk. All different assortments of birds were flying around the room. McGonagall was trying to calm all the birds so everyone took the advantage to talk as she was preoccupied.

"This lesson was not a good idea," Melissa said, chuckling at McGonagall. Sirius smirked.

"Yeah," he said. James looked over to Remus and motioned for him to come over. Remus slowly got up and walked over to them.

"Hey," he said quietly, looking around the room nervously.

"You're not going to get in trouble Moony," Sirius said.

"Yeah," James added. "You're one of her favorites."

He sighed and pulled a seat and sat on the edge of the table.

"I also think she has her hands full at the moment," Melissa said, pointing her thumb in the direction of McGonagall. Remus looked over at McGonagall and sighed again.

"Alright," he said, clasping his hands together and getting comfortable in the chair. Melissa looked over to Lily and Ariel and they waved at her with smiles on their faces. She waved back and looked towards Sirius.

"Are we not having a class today?" she asked, twirling a piece of hair on her finger.

"Guess not, I mean look at her, she is obviously unfit to teach us," Sirius said, smirking. Melissa chuckled and looked at McGonagall trying to suppress her shouts and grab the birds. She tried spells but they flew away before she could hit them with it. Remus was slouched in his chair, hands still clasped, watching McGonagall. Sirius was busy playing with his quill feathers, and Melissa and James were just sitting there talking.

"When is the bell going to ring?" Melissa asked.

"Soon, I hope," James said, fiddling with his fingers. "You know, class isn't that bad when she teaches it. I have to admit this is boring."

"Yeah," she said. Soon enough the bell rang and everyone practically ran out of the room, leaving McGonagall to tend to the bird problem. They were now walking in the halls to get to lunch.

"Finally that's over," Sirius said, smiling to a few girls that passed. Melissa chuckled.

"You are a ladies man, aren't you?" she asked.

"I guess you can say that," he said, smirking. When they reached the great hall it was loud and busy as usual. They walked to the Gryffindor table and sat down. Melissa looked at the lunch; she didn't really get a chance yesterday.

"Everything looks so good!" she said, bouncing up and down in her seat. They laughed at her, and took their food. It took her five minutes to decide what she wanted. She still had to get used to the whole food thing.

The rest of the day went by uneventful and boring. Melissa sat in the classes daydreaming about what she would be doing now if she was home. Hogwarts started before her school so back home it would still be summer vacation. What would happen when school came? What would her parents tell the school? When the end of the day came she went up to the common room to read. Sirius was off with some girl, James was out doing Head Boy duties with Lily , Peter was somewhere, and Remus was in the boy's dormitory. Melissa curled up on the couch and stared at the fire, it was dancing around in the grate. She looked down at the book on her lap. She closed it and laid down on the couch and watched the fire.

Remus came down the boy's dormitory stairs to read. He didn't know Melissa was down there. When he walked by the couch he saw her. She looked so peaceful, laying there. The fire was reflecting in her eyes making them look blue and orange. He sat down by her feet and smiled at her.

"Hey," he said quietly. Melissa looked up.

"Oh, hi," she said. "What are you doing?"

"Nothing, I came down to read," Remus said.

"Me too, I can't concentrate. You can stay down here if you want," she said. Remus slouched down and sighed. "What?"

"Nothing," he said, chuckling. "It's just everyone is out doing something except us."

"Yeah, you're right, but that's okay. We'll make the best out of it," Melissa said, smiling and sitting up.

"You hungry?" he asked.

"Kind of, why?" she asked. He took her hand.

"Come on," he said with a smile. Remus pulled her up and they walked out of the common room and started walking the halls.

"Where are we going?" she asked, with a big smile on her face.

"You'll see," Remus said. They reached a picture with a fruit bowl on it. Remus came by her. "Tickle the pear."

"What?" she asked, giggling.

"Tickle the pear," he said again. She reached her hand out and tickled the pear and a door appeared.

"Wow," Melissa said, staring at the door.

"Come on," Remus said, opening the door. They walked in and it was a kitchen, little house elves surrounded them.

"What can Tasha get you?" a little elf asked. Melissa looked at Remus and he nodded.

"Um, I don't know. What are you having?" she asked Remus.

"Dessert," he said with a big smile.

"Okay, we want all the desserts you have," Melissa said. The elves came back fast with cakes and candies. Melissa stared at the food. "What to have first…"

Remus laughed. "I like chocolate."

"Me too," Melissa said. "I think I'll have that."

They both reached for a chocolate frog and their hands touched. They both turned red and smiled.

"So, how do you like it here?" he asked.

"Oh it's wonderful. It's a really nice school," she said. "Everything is enjoyable and nice, except the Slytherins."

"Yeah you have a point there," Remus said, chuckling. "Are you really going to try and get Lily and James together? I think it's going to be impossible."

"Nothing's impossible Remus, I've come to find that out," she said, referring to her being sent back in time, and finding out she could do magic. "And yes, I am going to try, I am usually very good so most likely I will succeed."

"Oh really?" Remus asked, smiling.

"Really," she said, smiling back.

"Have fun, Lily hates him," Remus said.

"I'm sure deep down she likes him, you can't just hate someone who loves you," Melissa said, taking a bite of cake. "Who does Sirius like?"

"Everyone," Remus said. "I think he likes you."

"No he doesn't," Melissa said.

"Yeah I think he does," Remus said, looking away. Melissa could sense he was uncomfortable on the subject so she changed it.

"So, who are you going to ask to the Christmas Ball? I know it's early, but it's nice to know," she said.

"Um, I'm not quite sure," Remus said, turning a dark scarlet. He knew he couldn't ask her, but the girl he wanted to ask was asking him who he was going with. Melissa smiled. She put her finger in the whipped-cream on her cake, and leaned over the table and put it on Remus' nose.

"The look suits you," she said, laughing. He laughed too and took whipped-cream and put it on her nose.

"The look suits you too," he said, laughing. They were laughing so hard tears were coming out of their eyes. Melissa tried to reach her tongue to her nose and looked ridiculous. "I don't think you can do that." Remus said between laughs.

"Well I want to try," she said, smiling and laughing. They stayed there until they thought it was midnight. When they left they thanked the elves and took some sweets with them. They were walking the halls together in silence until Melissa started to laugh hysterically for no reason. Remus was looking at her and started to laugh at her.

"What's so funny?" he asked.

"Nothing," she said. "It's…it's just that whenever it's really quiet I laugh. Don't ask it's weird."

Remus was laughing at her. She dropped to the floor laughing. Remus walked over to her. He leaned out his hand and she took it. She stood up and stopped laughing. She was gazing into his eyes, she never noticed how deep they were, a deep amber. She wanted to kiss him, she really did, and she just didn't think it would be the right thing to do. They stood there staring at each other until she pulled his hand and they started to walk back to the common room.

They were walking in silence again and every so often there would be a faint giggle and Remus knew it was Melissa. When they got to the Fat Lady, he whispered the password and the door opened. Melissa looked at the clock and it was midnight. She walked to the girls dormitory stairs.

"Thanks Remus, that was a lot of fun," she said, smiling. He smiled.

"Well, maybe we can do it again," he said, with a hint of hope in his voice. She nodded her head.

"Yeah, I would like that," she said. There was a pause and she ran up to him giving him a hug that almost knocked him over, then she waved and ran up the dormitory stairs. Remus stood there looking at the door she just entered.

"She hugged me," he said quietly, walking over to the couch and collapsing on it. A door opened and James walked down from the boy's dormitory. His hair was tousled more than usual and he groggily stomped down the stairs.

"Moony what are you doing awake? It's twelve o'clock," James said, rubbing his eyes. When Remus didn't answer James walked over and shook his shoulder. "Moony? Hello?"

"What?" Remus asked suddenly, making James jump.

"What are you doing awake?" James asked.

"What areyou doing awake?" Remus asked, grinning. James looked bewildered but shook it away.

"Come on let's get to bed," James said, walking back up the stairs. Remus followed him slowly. When Remus walked in he found James in a heap on the bed snoring, he chuckled and got in his pajamas and laid in bed. He wasn't tired so he just decided to lay in bed and replay the afternoon with Melissa. Eventually he did fall asleep.
