Katie's POV:

The train ride back to school was uneventful. I had Lyall in a compartment at the front of the train. Hagrid would collect him when we went got to school.

I spent the entire ride looking out of the window and thinking about the holiday and how things had changed between Remus and I. I knew I was only kidding myself that he returned my feelings, but I could have sworn I saw him smile when I kissed him. I felt guilty for taking this tiny pleasure for myself, but I couldn't help it. It was getting harder and harder to deny how much I loved Remus. I knew everything about him! I was pretty sure I knew more about him than anyone else. Like the way he fiddled with his pen when he was finished early in an exam, or like how he chewed the right of his lip ever so slightly when he smiled, or how he blushed a little when he won Gryffindor points, or how he sighed with silent relief when he had handed in an essay, or how he used to be scared of knives but made himself get over it when we used them in potions class. Remus was my best friend but he was so much more than that.

I must have been lost in my thoughts for hours because when Remus put his hand on my shoulder, causing me to jump out of my skin and him to apologize profusely, it was already time to change into our robes.

During the prefeast speech Dumbledore mentioned that the faculty had decided we would learn more effectively if we were placed in a permenant seating plan. The whole hall groaned, but no one louder than us. There was no way that any of the teachers would choose to seat us together! Just our luck!

"Ok, class. Settle down!" McGonagall called as she walked into our transfiguration lesson. "Time to set the seating plan. Let me see. Skeeter sit at the front next to Potter, Rosier next to Wilkes, Macdonald next to Avery, Miss Snape next to Fortescue, Mulciber next to Miss Black, Mulciber next to Lupin, Lestrange next to Black, Jorkins next to Lockhart, Diggory next to Murphy, Snape next to Stevens, Jones next to Crouch, Swott next to Cresswell, Gundgeon next to Bagman, Mr Bones next to Lovegood, Meadows next to Purkiss, and Trelawney next to Vance."

I beamed as I went to sit next to Florie.

"Hey Katie!" he greeted

"Hi!" I replied.

Florean and I had become friendly aquaintances during the tests last year. He was a great guy whose parents ran the ice-cream shop in Diagon Alley.

James was scowling as that brat Rita Skeeter tried to throw herself onto him flirtily, I smirked. Remus looked extremely unimpressed at being placed next to not only one of the dumbest Slytherin's alive but one of my brother's recently acquired cronies. Sirius was also frowning and I felt a bit sorry for him. everyone knew that Rodolphus Lestrange was currently dating that Bitch Bellatrix. It must be hard for him to have to sit next to someone like that.

In Potions I was ready to strangle Slughorn when he decided to sit me next to none other than Bitch Bella herself! Cow!

Charms saw me slouching next to Lockhart who kept adjusting his hair and throwing me smirks. Git!

Professor Sprout thought it would be nice to sit me next to my prat of a brother in Herbology for the rest of the year.

For DADA class I was sat next to Mary MacDonald. She wasn't horrid, just slightly slow and irritating at times.

Astronomy had me sat besides Evan Rosier, stupid Slytherin and Sev's sheep.

In History of Magic I got put next to Ludo Bagman. He was painfully arrogant and kept trying to get me to give him my notes.

Ancient Runes became my new favourite subject as I actually got to sit next to Remus!

Arithmancy saw me next to this girl…. Dorcas Meadows. Dorcas?! Seriously? Who names their kid Dorcas? It's cruel! Sorry, but it had to be said.

Finally, Care for Magical Creatures had me paired up with some oddbodd with his head in the clouds. I think he said his name was Xenophelius Lovegood.

Great! What a fabulous rest-of-the-year this would be!

Sirius' POV

I was bored out of my mind! It was 2 am and everybody else was happily sleeping, except me. why me? I didn't even know why I couldn't sleep, I just couldn't. I decided that there was no point in lying here doing nothing, so I donned my dressing gown and stumbled downstairs.

I nearly had a heart attack when I saw Katie sat cross-legged on the floor staring into the fire.

"Katie? How the hell? You were in bed just now!" I spluttered.

She didn't even turn around. Just sat there staring into the fire.

"I made a magic copy of myself." She told my simply.

"Why?" I asked confused as to why someone would even bother.

"In case someone woke up." She sighed and turned to face me.

"Why cant you sleep?" I questioned with a concerned tone. Katie had always been like a sister to me. we had known each other the longest and had been through the same. We had a sort of… silent understanding.

"I… I'm just…. Restless." Katie mumbled. I sat down beside her and she put her head on my shoulder. "What about you?"

"Just couldn't… don't know why." I answered truthfully. "This is about Remus isn't it?"

She frowned at me. I knew she liked him, she knew I knew, and I knew she knew I knew, but she didn't really like to talk about it.

"He likes you too Katie, I'm serious." I assured her.

"I know your Sirius!" she smirked. "And don't play with my feelings, Padfoot. I know he doesn't like me. why should he?"

"Why not?"

"Why?"

"Why not?"

She growled at me.

"Sorry, but he really does like you. Honestly Fox, I've been trying to convince him that you like him, but he wont believe me either." I mumbled.

"Sirius, stop. I don't want to talk about it." She grumbled.

I sighed. Girls were so bloody complicated.

"You know, I saw Gilderoy Lockhart checking you out!" I teased.

"Sirius Orion Black!" she screeched. "Gilderoy Lockhart is an arrogant toerag and he most deffinately was NOT checking me out!"

"Whatever!" I snickered. "Girls think they see things, but guys know the looks that guys give girls." She scowled at me. "You should have seen Remus, he was practicaly ready to tear Ol' Gildie's head off." Katie punched my arm hard and my hand flew to the spot.

"Ow Bitch!" I yelped.

"You deserved it and you know it!" she hissed.

"Ok, ok sorry!" I muttered. "Jeez woman!"

"Sorry, I…um.. shouldn't have hit you." Katie murmured.

"That's ok. So…. What?"

"So… we should go back to bed." Katie sighed, getting up and helping me to my feet.

We trailed up the stair case and slung ourselves lazily into bed.

"Katie?" I whispered.

"Yeah?" she slurred.

"You know that spell, making a copy of yourself, that's OWL level!" I grinned proudly. "Good job Sis."

"Thanks Pads."
