Aloha. So, this should be a fun chapter. I'm thinking lots of fainting. Or at least two people. Maybe just one. Definitely at least one. Also, read/review/critique/etc.

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter or any of the characters, except all previously listed OC's.

Astronomy-

(Gryffindor & Slytherin)

'That might have been the second most terrifying experience of my entire life,' he thought, moving quickly through the halls with the other Gryffindors. They'd just been to Defense Against the Dark Arts, and their professor was scary. He was crazy strict; he'd deducted House points because some boy was five minutes late. No doubt about, Remus was going to keep his head down in that class.

Busy thinking, he didn't notice Sirius and James' backs until he crashed into them.

"What?" he said, confused. Then he noticed the two boys sprawled on the floor with him. "Oh, erm…sorry," he said, blushing. "It was an accident."

James got to his feet. "No problem, man," he said, smiling. Sirius got up, too, and held his hand out to help Remus up.

"I…uh…thanks," he finished lamely.

"Don't worry about it," Sirius shrugged.

They had arrived at the Astronomy Tower; all the students began the climb up to the top. When they finally reached the top of the tower, Remus' first view was of an older boy, probably a seventh or sixth-year sitting near the edge of the tower scribbling notes. The boy had light brown hair, and large glasses framed his dark brown eyes. He was rather scrawny, and Remus wondered what on earth he was doing on top of the Astronomy tower.

He looked up when he saw them, and his face lit up with excitement when he saw them.

"Hello!" he called, looking rather excited.

The students exchanged confused looks; after a bit, Sirius rolled his eyes and stepped forward. "Hey. Listen, mate, have you seen the Astronomy professor? We're supposed to have a lesson…"

Remus didn't think he'd ever seen anyone turn so red so quickly. However, he smiled his excitable smile at Sirius and held out his hand. "That would be me. Professor William Indor."

Sirius looked quite sheepish as he shook their professor's hand. "Sirius Black," he replied. "Sorry about that…you don't look that…old," he finished.

"That's perfectly alright," Professor Indor replied, looking far less embarrassed than Sirius did. "Now, about lessons. You will have a theoretical Astronomy class every day at this time, but it will only last for half an hour, so you will have the rest of the time to do whatever you'd like. On Wednesdays, at midnight, you will report to the Astronomy Tower to have a practical lesson. This will last for an hour. Any questions?"

Remus wanted to scream. Astronomy lessons. At midnight. Every Wednesday.

This was awful. He had let Dumbledore and his parents convince him that everything would be alright, that nobody would find anything out. What would people think if he started skipping only Astronomy lessons? Or if he…Remus shuddered, not wanting to even consider the possibility.

Everything was ruined. People were going to get hurt, and it was going to be his fault.

The last thing he remembered was Professor Indor kneeling over him, looking concerned.

And then, everything went black.

Defense Against the Dark Arts-

(Ravenclaw & Hufflepuff)

Jason hurried along the halls, trying to keep up with the other Hufflepuffs. It wasn't easy, because his legs were short, and could only carry him so far. Finally, they made it to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom. Panting slightly, he sat down next to Ethan, who smiled at him.

A strict-looking man with blond hair was frowning at them, and instructed them to silence themselves. "I am Professor Davies. I will be teaching you all that I can about defending yourselves. Pay attention," he stated, still frowning.

After explaining the basics of how class would work, what they were expected to bring, and so on and so forth, Professor Davies began to actually teach.

Jason was, of course, having trouble keeping up. The fact that he was surrounded by a bunch of intelligent Ravenclaws wasn't really helping, either. He nudged the boy to the right of him. "Ethan," he whispered.

"Yeah?" Ethan asked him.

"I can't write this fast. Can I copy down your notes later?" Jason asked helplessly, blushing a bit.

"Of course. No problem," Ethan said, still writing.

"Alright! Thanks, Ethan," he said, a bit too loudly.

Professor Davies stopped his lecture. "Is there something you would like to share with the class?" he asked quietly.

Jason blushed and shook his head.

"Well, Mr.…"

"Aberett. Jason Aberett," he said, feeling as if his face was on fire.

"Mr. Aberett. You should know that I expect nothing but the best of my students. That includes showing respect towards me at all times. Do you understand?" he finished, glowering down at Jason.

"Y-yes. I'm sorry, I didn't m-mean to…"

"Whether you meant to or not is none of my concern, Mr. Aberett!" he snapped.

"I-I'm sorry, I-I-"

"Professor," a sharp voice interjected. Jason saw that Ethan had stood up. "You're being a little tough on him. He apologized, and he won't do it again. Leave him alone," he finished, looking defiant.

Professor Davies' angry voice responded, but Jason couldn't tell what he was saying, because he was feeling dizzy, and Ethan was staring at him, and telling off a professor, and there were stars in front of his eyes.

And then, everything went black.

Jason blinked his eyes open. Looking around, he saw a stern-looking woman with curly blond hair and an apron standing next to his bed. Speaking of which, where was he and why was he in a bed?

"Wh-where am I?" Jason asked, voicing his thoughts.

"Mr. Jennings brought you down. Apparently, you fainted during class while the teacher was yelling at you. He wanted to stay, but I sent him back. He'll be coming back for you after class, though."

"I-I fainted? During class?" he asked, feeling a hot fire spreading across his cheeks once more.

"Don't be embarrassed, dear. At least you're not the only one. That boy over there fainted during Astronomy. Poor Professor Indor had no clue what to do about it. Good thing he was brought to me," she added, with a hint of pride.

"R-right. Thank you for taking care of me," he said, still blushing. "Um…who are you exactly?" he added meekly.

To his relief, she merely smiled. "Madam Pomfrey," she answered. I'm the school nurse."

She left, and he spent the rest of the time talking with the other boy, whose name was Remus Lupin. He claimed he hadn't been eaten any breakfast because he was so nervous, which was why he had fainted. Remus turned out to be quite nice, and was quite friendly towards Jason.

After a while, Remus glanced at his watch, seeing that it was almost eleven o'clock. He headed off to Transfiguration while Jason waited, wondering if Ethan was even coming.

His worries were unfounded, however; Ethan showed up a moment later to take him to Herbology. He seemed quite worried about him, and apologized profusely for not staying with him. Jason told him not to be so upset, but felt a rush of gratitude for the boy.

It was nice to feel cared about for once.

Guess what? You should review/critique/etc., that's what!

No...but really...you should.

Also.

Is it weird that I want to help like half the teachers find love? They're so sad and alone!

Really though, you should review.
