"You are really good at zis." Hermione complimented as her partner expertly coaxed their Spider Silk plant to pump out a few extra balls of silk.

"Thank you. Everyone says I have a green thumb." Alice Macmillan blushed. The Hufflepuff felt a bit of her league with the genius foreign Gryffindor but it boosted her self-esteem that she was just a bit better than Hermione in Professor Sprout's class.

"Oui, zhat you do!" Hermione agreed with a half-smile, deliberately ignoring James who was blowing kisses and winking at her.

"If you don't mind me asking Hermione, what's going on with you and James? Or you and the Marauders in general?" Alice asked, looking at their interaction curiously. Hermione shrugged her shoulders and was glad Alice didn't pry any further.

James immediately came over once class was done and picked up her bag before she could protest.

"You should wear your hair out for me." James declared, twirling a rebellious curl that had escaped her sleek bun. Hermione said good bye to Alice and walked out bickering lightheartedly with James.

Suddenly Remus came out of nowhere, swept a shocked Hermione into his arms and took off running.

"You snooze you lose!"
