All her wants and needs had become unimportant and the civics she learned in muggle school came into play.
A normal good is something you want and can come and go.Inferior good is a good that you need and can't live without.
Common good is the good for all instead of for just one.
The problem was she didn't have her normal or inferior goods.
All their was left for her was the common good and her responsibility to do it.

She almost missed being a muggle. The simplicity of it. Not knowing what will come next and have endless possibilities.
None of this could have happened.


"I think she meant it this time Padfoot" James stated miserably his hazel eyes glinting with unshed tears as he slumped into a chair.

Sirius looked up from his potions work with concern looming in his stormy grey eyes imploring him to go on.

"Lily punched me and said things ...I think...I am gonna stop trying" James whispered finally his face in his hands.

Sirius clenched his jaw took a moment to reply...well shout more like.
"WHAT?!"

James's head shot up his eyebrows furrowed.
"Sirius-"

"YOU HAVE BEEN CHASING THIS GIRL 6 YEARS!"

"I have been turned down all 6 years-"

"YOU HAVE BEGGED, YOU HAVE PLEADED, YOU HAVE TRIED EVERY IMAGINABLE WAY TO MAKE HER LIKE YOU!"

"It hasn't worked"

"YOU HAVE DRIVEN ME AND MOONY CRAZY WITH THIS ...LOVE THING YOU HAVE FOR HER AND YOU ARE GONNA GIVE UP CAUSE SHE THREW A FEW PUNCHES AND CALLED YOU A FEW NAMES!?"

"It's not that simple"

"THEN MAKE IT THAT SIMPLE!"

"I don't think I can-"

"ARE YOU A MARUADER OR NOT?"

That seemed to wake up the emotion in James as his face turned up in anger.
"Now Sirius don't even go their!"

"A MARUADER WOULDN'T GIVE UP! A MARAUDER WOULD GO ON! WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH WE FIGHT BACK WITH THE DEFIANCE IN OUR EYES AND FIRE IN OUR HEARTS DAMN IT!"

James looked shocked by the deepness in his friend's words.

"NOW GET YOUR ASS UP THERE, APPOLOGIZE GET YOUR GIRL DAMN IT!" Sirius roared sitting himself down.
"And when your done tell me how it went" Sirius finished quietly.

James beamed with renowned pride clapped Sirius on the back.
"Thanks mate"

"I NEVER WANT TO HEAR YOU SAY THAT AGAIN HEAR ME PRONGS?!" Sirius yelled to an unconcerned James.
"I give up, pah I'll give you I give up" He scoffed to himself in frustration.

Remus walked out from a book case with an amused smile on his face.

"Don't say a thing" Sirius said bitterly through gritted teeth despite the fact that there was an amused smirk on his face.

"Oh you old softy" Remus mocked.

"Shut it"

"I didn't know you were such a romantic Paddy" Remus continued ignoring Sirius.

"Remus I swear you are so-"

"Cleverly smart? I know" Remus smirked throwing a potions book at Sirius.

He glanced at the cover curiously.
"HEY THIS WAS THE BOOK I WAS LOOKING FOR!"

"YOU HAD YOUR HEAD TO FAR UP YOUR ASS TO LOOK PROPERLY!" Remus shouted back.

"Why that little-" Sirius started but stopped as he saw Elizabeth Browning enter the library.

"OH LIZZY!" he shrieked grabbing his books and following her quick pace.

"Oh what do you want Black?" She spat coldly not looking at him.

"I was just wondering if maybe you would like to acom-"

"No Black" she interrupted as she continued walking.

"Fine" he pouted then he saw a skinny, skanky Sarah Silverman across the way.

"OY Sarah!" he shouted leaving the girl for another.


Becks the suddenly woke with an icy start.
"WHAT THE HELL?!"

Harry stood their smirking slightly at her look of anger but looked irritated all the same.
"You wouldn't wake up so I dumped water on you"

"What is it with this school and dumping water on people?" she muttered angrily getting up briskly.

Then she was thrown back and onto Potter, she looked down and remembered.
Their ridiculous punishment. She threw him a filthy look and moved as far away from him as possible.
This was his entire fault.

She flicked back her short wavy honey blonde hair and glared contently at him. He just had to kiss her and make the awkward tension that already existed multiply by a thousand. Potter had to fight with Malfoy and get them in punishment, her crime was severally less than his and could have been explained and gotten over. In short, he just had to be an ass.

Yesterday was the weirdest day of her life and the most confusing. They both decided silently that they would sleep in the boy's dorms. It made it much harder for her but to protest she would have to talk to him and that was something she was completely unwilling to do.

Talking lead to questions and questions lead to trouble. They would appear to get along until McGonagall saw that they were and deemed it necessary to release them from this never ending hell. Neither liked the situation and she knew that he only kissed her out of impulse or some sort of weird reflex. It had to be some kind of mistake, perhaps a potion gone wrong?

"How does she expect us to stay like this? Isn't this against the rules?" Becks spat angrily at the general room as she attempted to tie her shoe with only her left hand.

Lucky for her she broke her right arm in 3rd year and learned how to do things with just her left hand.
Potter however never had this past experience. He was fumbling with the use of only one hand unlike him (she thought to herself proudly) she wasn't a prick.

Using her left hand she helped him tie his shoes and he didn't return the favor so she grabbed his wand and magically tied them.
"You're such a prick" she sighed giving him a look of pure hatred.

"You're not a garden of flowers yourself" he shot back snottily.

She rolled her eyes and laughed in her head at what a stupid come back that was. And slowly imagined a panda named Jimbrino beating him with a thick piece of bamboo. Even just in her head it was hilarious. Grabbing her bag and swinging it over her left shoulder she grimaced from the weight of the bag and what she was looking at. His bed.

It had been uncomfortable sleeping in the same bed with him, even if he enlarged it. Their were few situations were she thought it could have gotten more awkward, yesterday however was the clear cut example. I mean she didn't even want to think what he might have been thinking about because he hated her and she didn't want to think what could be his motive for...that...diversion of sorts.

They both walked out of his dorm moodily and headed down to breakfast. Many stared and whispers began at the sight of Harry Potter and Rebecca Browning holding hands. Were they dating? Was there a misfired spell at work?
Or some more additive Potter fans thought she slipped him a love potion. Becks scouffed at that, she would sooner throw herself off a clif.

Becks grunted in irritation at the unwanted attention she was getting. Was McGonagall trying to get her killed? Of course there was a reason she was doing this to Becks but she could only see the down points. Her paranoid side took over as she went over the endless consequences but they all became paused the moment Potter tried to sit by the two Weasley's.
"I can't sit their"

"Deal with it" he said unconcernedly.

"Potter seriously I can't sit their!"

Unlike the first time he actually heard that her tone was completely serious.
It unnerved him a bit. "Well were do you suggest we sit?"

"How about by Neville?"

"Fine" He grunted moodily as they sat next to a surprised Neville.

Becks looked over the schedule for today and groaned. 1st and 2nd period: Transfiguration, 3rd and 4th Period: Potions, 5th period: D.A.D.A. She reminded McGonagall that she wasn't supposed to go to Snape's class but she said that they would simply give her homework through Snape. This day would be long a tiring.

Then Hermione rushed over and had a look of bewilderment on her face.
Her eyebrows were raised so high Becks thought they might pop off her face.
"What-are-you-doing?" she asked slowly as if she was trying to see if maybe this was Becks' doing.

Potter raised their hands and gave her a look as if daring her to say something.
"Were on punishment"

Hermione frowned but could hide the disappointment from her eyes.
"I told you not to get into it with Malfoy"

He grumbled something inaudible.

"God you're such a grumpy little man" Becks scoffed in annoyance.

Suddenly and unexpectedly Hermione burst into laughter and Becks smiled brightly and as she covered her face with her hands.
"Sorry it's just you need to not be so moody Potter"

He wasn't listening to her but looking at her in a way she found odd.

"What?"

"You just smiled"

Within an instant it slid of her face and she remembered she wasn't supposed to.
"And?"

"It just...reminded me of someone"

She inwardly cringed remembering what her mother used to say to her.
"You've got your uncles smile"
