Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter.
I don't even know if anyone is still reading this, but here's another chapter any way.
Chapter 7
They were walking down the main street in Hogsmede, just she and he. It was a sunny day and there were many people about, enjoying their time in the wizarding village.
' Oh let's go for a butterbeer, ' Lena suggested.
Her male companion, whose face was hazy and whose body was also quite blurry, took hold of her hand and led her towards The Three Broomsticks.
As Madam Rosemerta set down two glasses of her finest butterbeer, she smiled at the pair of them,
' Congratulations,' she said before walking off.
The man said something, but his voice was muffled out and she could not make sense of it. She did not need to however as he gestured at her left hand.
She looked down and smiled serenely at the dazzling ring on her finger.
' Selena! ' Molly snapped for what must have been the 5th time.
Lena opened her eyes and looked around blearily, ' Huh? '
' Get sorted then, you're going to miss breakfast at this rate and be late for the first lesson. '
Lena sat up to see that Molly, Alice, Claire Brown (A/N - who is the aunt of Lavender Brown) and Tiffany Vane (mother of Romilda Vane) were all pretty much dressed.
Tiffany and Claire, who were both very girly and chatty ad rather boy obssessed were busy styling their hair.
' You know,' Lena said as she hurridley got dressed, ' I had an odd dream. '
' Oh yeah? ' Alice prompted.
' Yeah. I was walking down the street in Hogsmede with a guy, only I couln't see his face. And we were engaged. '
' That's a bit random, ' Alice remarked, as Lena began to search for her favourite shoes.
' I wonder what it means, ' Lena sighed as she pulled the Christian Louboutin heels out from under her bed.
' Not all dreams mean something, ' Molly answered.
Lena shook her head, ' But it must mean something. Maybe I'll ask Professor Vablatsky later. '
' Come one! ' Molly said impatiently as Lena applied her eyeliner.
Lena sighed, ' Just go down for breakfast and I'll catch up with you down there. '
' Are you sure? ' Alice asked.
' Yes, just go. I'll call in at the boys room on my way down and walk with them, because I don't think they'll be ready yet either. '
Alice and Molly left and after Lena had finished applying her make-up and putting on her jewellrey, she strolled down the stone staircase.
Of course, girls was allowed up the boys staircase so Selena jogged up the stairs and knocked on the door of the dormitory that was 7th up.
She was met by the calls of, ' Come in! '
Doing as she was told, she entered the room to see that Remus was ready, as expected, and was sat on top of his four poster bed, checking that the books in his bag were the right ones according to the day's timetable. Peter was tying his red and gold Gryffindor tie up, James was putting his shoes on and Sirius was searching around in his trunk for his over robe.
' Why are you never ready on time? ' she asked the four of them exasperatedly.
Sirius scoffed, ' I bet you only just finished getting ready. '
' Of course, but that's not the point, ' Lena replied with a grin.
Minutes later, after everyone was ready and they had passed the time by talking about the annoyingness of the girls who always surrounded the marauders, the five of them set off for the great hall.
As they walked, James brought up the subject of quidditch.
' So, we'll be having the first quidditch practise soon,' he commented.
' Does the team need picking again? ' Sirius asked James.
The team captain shook his head, ' No. No one from last year's team has left, so we can carry on with the same team. '
' Which is just as well because it's a damn strong team,' Lena grinned.
The Gryffindor quidditch team consisted of James, Selena, and Jimmy Spinnet as chasers, Bertram Aubrey and Andy Bell as beaters, Sirius as seeker, and Vince McLaggen as keeper.
Bell and Spinnet were both brilliant players, and luckily were easy to get along with during practises. Aubrey was a bit of an idiot, similar to Peter's standards, and was terrified of James and Sirius so would do exactly as he was told. Mclaggen was an arrogant idiot and annoyed the rest of the team with his ways of always thinking he was right, but he was a good player and helped the team.
' We're totally going to smash the Slytherins again this year, ' Siirus smirked.
' I wouldn't bet on it, ' sneered a voice from behind.
The Marauders - and Selena - turned around to see Reguus Black, along with his gang of fellow Slytherins, Evan, Rosier, Mulciber and Avery.
' Ah, hello, filthy traitors,' Regulus sneered again.
Sirius smirked, ' Hello mummy's boy. Had a good summer? ' he asked mockingly.
' Not when you two left me with a heartbroken old woman to repair,'
Lena scoffed,' Heartbroken old woman? Tell me you don't mean our beloved mother? '
' What you two did what appalling - there was no need to just storm out like that. '
' Leave it alone,' Sirius said, ' You don't know what went on, and quite frankly it's no business of yours. '
' What went on was that you two disappointed the family name by mixing with horrid people lke your mates here - a rumoured werewolf, a perfect pureblooded gryffindor and a fat little half blood. '
' Because your friends are so much better aren't they? ' Selena snapped, ' your little bunch of death eater.'
Regulus moved forward and tried to grab at his older sister - Regulus being a fifth year, but towering over his sibling in height.
He didn't get the chance to actually grab her because she darted behind Remus, who was the closest to her, whilst Sirius raised his wand to his brother.
Regulus guffawed, ' You couldn't hex your own flesh and blood. '
' But I could hex you, ' James grinned manically as he pulled his wand from his over robes.
Before any one else had the chance to do anything, James had jabbed his wand in the direction of his friend's brother and caused an ugly red rash to appear on the younger students face.
Regulus touched a hand up to his cheek in horror as he felt himself heat up, and he felt the stratchy bumps on his skin.
' Quick! To Madam Pomfrey! ' Avery said in his low, barely intelligable voice, as the small gang of Slytherins hurried away.
' All in a morning's work, ' James grinned.
