The Moon of Summer Love
Chapter ten
The bell had finally ringed and I smiled as I got up. Something about this project seemed as though it was going to be interesting. And it was a lot easier to talk, well write, than it is to talk. Well it was for me anyway, unlike my friends of course, I was the shy one of the group.
I looked to see Summer had already left, she did leave in a hurry sometimes. Just as the mystery of Summer. Wait, here I was going with the mystery thing again, why was I so interested? It all seemed so confusing. I tried to sort out the things that were going in my head, which seemed rather impossible, as I walked down the corridor to my next class, which was Defense against the Dark Arts. I happened to have Sirius and James in that class. It's not that I don't like my friends, they're the best friends I've ever had, but they did seem to be a bit nosy most of the time.
I was too caught up in my waterfall of thoughts, once again, and seemed to almost run into the door that led to my next class. I shook my head and asked my self, what was the matter with me? I have never been this preoccupied and curious about anything. Well of course I had been curious, but this was different. And I couldn't find an answer, and if there was one I wasn't sure if I wanted to know.
I opened the door of the classroom and took a seat beside James, who was beside Sirius. James seemed a little pale for some reason, and Sirius seemed to be trying not to snicker about something. I sighed; it was probably another Lily situation. I swear, James is in love with that girl. But then again, I could be wrong, I know nothing of love.
I was pulled back from my thoughts once more as Professor Krickleback stepped down from his office, "Good evening dear children." He greeted, I didn't say good evening back like the rest of my class, I was trying to concentrate on what he was going to assign up, trying to anyway. "Today we will be dueling." He announced, I saw James perk up and Sirius was practically jumping up and down with excitement. I rolled my eyes at them as I turned my attention back to the professor.
He put us in groups of three that way while two people dueled, one could be a referee. Referee was a muggle saying for somebody who makes sure the two are dueling fair and announces who wins fairly. I had to explain that to Sirius. Of course me, James, and Sirius were in a group, and I was referee on the first round.
Sirius and James walked up to each other and bowed. They walked a distance away and stopped, turning around, and pointing there wands out at each other. James was the first to send a spell towards Sirius, "Expelliarmus!" he yelled and Sirius' wand was blown out of his hand.
Sirius jumped for his wand and caught it, pointing it back at James and yelling, "Stupify!" and James was knocked across the room, he got back up with a smirk on his face. I knew what that meant, it meant he was going to be showing off. I rolled my eyes and watched as the chaos was about to take place.
Sirius saw a smirk on his face and raised an eyebrow at James, which meant he was fine with putting on a show. Professor Krickleback loved it when James and Sirius showed off, it was annoying sometimes actually, But very amusing actually.
James pointed his wand at Sirius and shouted, "Densauge" And Sirius's teeth began to grow rapidly. A crows started forming around the two and everybody, including the professor, began laughing and cheering.
Sirius laughed too and muttered the counter-curse so he could speak, he pointed his wand at James and yelled, "Tarantallegra" And James started to dance uncontrollably. Sirius laughed, and I started laughing too, because whenever Sirius did that charm to James, well he started dancing along with it.
Finally after many spells Professor Krinkleback stepped forward, his face red from laughing, "Alright boys, lets call it a tie, and pack up your things." He said just as the bell rang. I gathered my stuff, still laughing a little, and headed out the door with James and Sirius. "That was fun Prongs, you actually didn't hold back." Sirius said with a smirk.
James laughed, "Hold back, you think I wasn't holding back, Moony could you tell I was holding back?" James asked me.
I shrugged, "I dunno Prongs, but that was one hel.l of a show." I said with a laugh, "You guys haven't done that in a while."
"Well if you remember Remus ol' pal, old Krinkleback hasn't let us duel since the….erm….Longbottom incident." Sirius said with an innocent shrug.
"Oh don't look innocent Padfoot, you almost blasted him out the window." James said trying not to smile.
Sirius' stomach growled, "Well, looks like it's time for lunch." He said running ahead of us.
"Coming?" James asked me, and I shook my head.
"No, I think I'm gonna go catch up on my homework, you know I'm a little beside, because of..er..you know." I said pushing my bag on my shoulders.
James laughed, "Yeah I know Moony, your 'fury little problem' "He laughed, "I'll see you later."
I rolled my eyes at him, "see ya." Was all I said and I turned on my heal and headed towards the library.
