When we left the Great Hall a ½ and hour later or so I paused at the door.

"Um," I paused, "Now what?" I looked to M&M, "We could find the library, go outside, or go up and tour the common room." She looked around, then back to me. She shrugged,

"What do you want to do?"

"See outside…then maybe we should find our common room to drop off some books." M&M nodded in agreement and we glanced at the other two girls.

"Are you coming with us?" I asked after a moment. They looked at each other and then nodded.

"Yep." Lee said cheerfully.

"Cool." M&M replied, I rolled my eyes but smiled.

We opened the doors outside it was really pretty out. I mean cool but not cold, blue sky's with small white clouds.

I breathed in deeply and grinned. The grass was still green but a few of the trees had golden red leaves on them already.

I walked out and started down towards the lake. I saw a solitary figure leaning against a beach tree by the lake. The profile was very familiar. YA!

"Sev!" I began to run down the lawn. HE turned seeing me he grinned. I flew down to the tree and skidded-actually I almost ran to far-in front of him. He laughed at me and I threw myself at him for a hug. It felt like forever since I'd seen him. I pulled back and smiled widely at him. I now knew for sure how much I'd missed him. "What's up with you?"

"I have a break." He said after a pause in which he stared at me, slowly being to smile again. Duh.

"Me too!" Double duh. Then I remembered M&M and the rest. They were still farish away–having not run down like a moron.

"Gryffindor's?" He asked looking at them too, with a slight frown.

"Some of them are ok, I really like one of the girls. I think we'll be friends." I grinned at him and he gave me a small smile. "And I suppose I'm ok too." I pointed out in a thoughtful tone. He rolled his eyes.

"Not the point." I grinned at him and went on.

"But the idiots from the train are also in my house. Which sucks." I sighed and his face lost all trace of pleasure. They were pretty close now, with PB at the front. Sev tensed, "Don't start anything Sev." I told him quietly and gently, but firmly. He looked at me, and then gave me a small nod. "Good boy." He rolled his eyes and I grinned widely again.

"Oh looked Sirius." I loath Potter, I really REALLY loath him! "It's Snivelly."

"Oh, so it is." We noticed, "Who could have guessed he actually got to stay." Black put in slyly. I personally am totally lost by that statement.

"I agree, who could have thought he was actually smart enough to make it into a house at all." They are officially stupid.

"What the hell kind of comment is that?" I asked in a somewhat confused voice.

"They're too stupid to know themselves." Sev said quietly to me. I grinned, the boys glared at him. SCORE!

"Do you have any homework yet?" I asked him, choosing to ignore them completely. HE shook his head. "I've only had a break and then double transfiguration."

"Cool. That means we might have potions and flying lessons together." He nodded and took out his schedule. I took out mine and was about to compare them when it was snatched from his hand.

I'd forgotten about the pricks.

"Give it back." I growled.

"It's not even yours." Black told me innocently.

"Give it to her." Sev told him in a stern angry voice. Potter rolled his eyes.

"Oh!" In a high pitched girly voice. "I'm soooooo scared."

I stepped forward and grabbed hold of it. "Let go." I said in a low voice. HE smirked at me.

"What if I say no?" So be it. I thought, and then I lashed out and kicked him in the shin-hard. Don't mess with me when I can kick you. He dropped the paper immediately. He started hopping up and down on the spot.

I turned away from him to compare the schedules. "Idiot." I muttered. I think he was glaring at me but as I was ignoring him now I couldn't tell.

"Cool. We have DADA and potions together. Along with another break…and flying lessons!" Sev peeked over my shoulder to look.

"Really?" He sounded excited.

"Really." I said grinning my ass off at him.

"Oh yah!"

"Shut-up Black."

"Oh that's harsh."

"No, kicking you in the nuts is harsh."

"Oh."

"Oh what?" I prompted him with a sly grin.

"Nothing."

"I can't believe you Sirius. Stick up for yourself!" Potter said angrily.

"Oh, and end up like you? With bruised shins? Or worse?"

"It's better than groveling."

"I wasn't groveling!"

"Was too."

"Was NOT!"

"Ok, just go away."

"Was too-wait. What?"

"You are an unneeded nuisance." They looked at me, so I changed tactics. "Stay." They sat down, Hehehe-they're funny.

Not that I'll EVER let them know that…oh whatever. I started-and Sev followed-up to the castle. I looked at the time and realized that if we wanted to drop books off we had to go now.

I sighed, he looked at me. He had his head tilted to the side only slightly. He looked so cute. I smiled at him and he lit up smiling back.

"Me and Mary were going to drop off some of our unneeded books." He nodded after a moment. "I'll see you in Potions next hour." He nodded slowly again and gave a small wave, moving off.

I waved back. Then I turned and went back down the slope again. I met M&M half-way.

"Want to go and get rid of some of out books before potions?"

"Sure. Is his name really Snivelly?" She asked hesitantly then.

"No!"

"Sorry-"

"No. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be so loud, I'm not mad at you anyway." I sighed but she gave an understanding nod. "Shall we invite Lee and Grace?"

"Sure." We turned to face them, I waved and shouted:

"We're going to get rid of some of our books before Potions. Want to come?" Grace and Lee started up, PB jumped up and ran up to us. They stopped-bouncing on the soles of their feet slightly. Lupin and, oh for goodness sake! The other boys followed closely behind Lee and Grace.

In fact Lupin was walking with Lee and Grace and …the other one was just trailing behind slowly.

We waited for a moment until they were right behind us. Then we started off into the castle again. I tried to walk slowly-for me at least-so we wouldn't leave Lee and Grace so far behind.

PB and Lupin…..hehehe that just sounds so funny!

PB and Lupin were right behind/next to us. I really hope they stop following us around everywhere soon…maybe by tomorrow.

Is that really to much to ask? Their following us-me-makes me feel like a mother duck or something.

I don't think it is-as Potter stepped on the back of my heel, I don't care what he says. The grin he gave BB (Bloody Black) meant that it had really been on purpose!

We ran into-BB literally! IT was HALLARIOUS!-luck after we reached the first stair case.

Luck was in the form of Sir Nicolas (…something or other) then. When I asked him for directions-as BB sat on the floor shivering and JJ the Jet Plane (Potter) sat next to him, laughing his arse off-he offered to bring us to the Gryffindor common room personally.

We thanked him and almost managed to leave PB behind-but Lupin haled them up and dragged them along, I swear the other boy is sleeping as he follows us. What a….talent.

Before Sir Nicolas left us at the Portrait Hole I asked him how to get to Potions. I wrote it down as he told me, thanked him, and entered the common room.

"P&B are morons." Ha! I wish that was the password.

"Bibblebabble." That's fun to say.

We went to out respective dormitories and dropped off the books for every class but Potions, since that would be our last class for the day.

Then we had stopped at the top of the stairs-from our dormitory-for a sec so Lee could tie up her shoe, when the stairs suddenly turned into a slide and there came two high pitched yells, that turned into groans soon after.

I heard a quiet voice tell them exasperatedly,

"I told you that boys couldn't go up the girls' stairs. Why didn't you listen?" It was Lupin; it was good to hear him less shy. The four of us had frozen listening, now we were trying to hold in our giggles. Something that was very hard to do.

"We want to see how it stopped us." Potter groaned. We heard PB untangling themselves. So we all immediately jumped on the slide-all together, me and M&M were kind of next to each other, with the other two behind us.

We landed in a heap-not too badly hurt-on top of PB's legs and backs. Since, sadly, they had moved their big heads out of the way in time. "Oh man." Groaned Black and we all laughed, M&M looked slightly apologetic but still laughed with the rest of us.

I saw Lupin mumble something that sounded kind of like 'serves you right.' But I couldn't be totally certain.

After a moment we got up, brushed each other off-onto PB the girls-and I took out my directions.

Next Potions and Sev!
