A/N: Alrighty I am a terrible updater and I suck but here is this chapter and hopefully it is good… I am trying to get through this awkward time in the story where they aren't necessarily friends and whatnot but I don't know how that's going. P.S. Sorry it's so short!

Disclaimer: Still don't own very much of anything at this point in my life.. I'll keep you posted though.

It felt like this Friday would never end! Not only did I feel isolated from everyone but in Potions my partner Jessie a quiet Revenclaw blew up our potion. It had turned my hair a ghastly green color and I had been furious. It didn't help though that the Marauders were right in the vicinity and had laughed their butts off. Professor Slughorn had promised that it would wear off soon but I didn't feel very comforted about it. I

"Are you alright?" Remus Lupin asked as we were walking out of Potions, his friends had made an immediate beeline out of the door while he slowly put his stuff away. I looked at him incredulously, my hair was green and he was asking me if I was alright?

"Do you see my hair?" I asked motioning to the offensive being.

"Well other than the hair… you just seem off today" he said thoughtfully looking at my with his amber eyes filling with worry, I suddenly felt very bad. I didn't mean to be such a pain but it was all just so frustrating, I just wished it was first year all over again. Maybe if I had known the things I knew now I could change some things, like Sev being admitted into the junior Death Eater club or Lily leaving me behind.

"Well thanks for caring but I am fine… really" I said flashing him a small smile as if to seal the deal. He didn't look too convinced but I think he didn't want to be rude and try to pry, but he did continue to walk with me.

"Do you want to maybe study with me after dinner? I mean I know you're really good at Divination and I could really use some help… and maybe I could help you with Arithmancy?" he had an eager look plastered and his face and I thought about his offer. He did seem to be awful at Divination and I definitely had a handle on it, I was god awful at Arithmancy so I suppose it wouldn't be too bad of a situation.

"Alright Lupin, but you have to promise me something…" I said in mock seriousness looking at him expectantly.

"Alright?" he said cautiously not sensing my joking.

"You have to promise me that you won't fall in love with me" I said with a stoic face, before laughing and walking away from him and towards the great hall to dinner. By the time I made it to the hall my hair had gone back to normal, thank goodness.

"Hey Theo" Lily said as I sat next to her and Marlene McKinnon, as well as a few other Sixth years that seemed to always like the attention that hanging out with Lily Evans gave them.

"Oh hello… everyone" I said eyeing the ladies with suspicion as they all giggled while watching the doors. I peered over my shoulder to see none other than the Marauders entering the hall and rolled my eyes. How could every girl be in love with them?

"Hello King" Sirius said plopping into the seat next to me while Remus looked unamused. The girls who had been sitting with us minus Marlene all looked on with awe.

"Hello Black… what brings you to me?" I said in fake awe, I did admit that Sirius was rather handsome but I was not some love-stricken teenage girl.

"Nothing in particular just being conversational" he said with a satisfied smirk stretched across his huge head. I rolled my eyes as the others eyed him in admiration, I really couldn't understand the appeal unless you liked that suave bad-boy thing….

"Well alright…" I said skeptically as the four boys began to pile their plates with food. Remus seemed to be very uncomfortable but I couldn't fathom why. The Marauders actually seemed to take the day off of torturing me and stayed mostly to themselves, to which I was eternally grateful.

"Alright you lot I have a study date to get to… Remus?" I said looking at him expectantly while the other three boys and Lily seemed to watch curiously. I couldn't understand why though because we were just studying.

"A date you say?" Sirius said smiling widely and looking at the pair of us, I immediately understood why he had that look.

"No!" Remus and I both exclaimed shaking our heads. I was mortified to the point or blushing and pulled Remus out of the hall with the Potter and Black chanting "Moony's got a date" over and over again.
