Lily sat in History of Magic with the rest of the Ravenclaws, her
head occasionally slipping off her hand towards the desk. Professor Binns
did not seem to notice the amount of heads that were sleeping on the long
desks. Even Liam, who continued to trail Lily from class to class, was
struggling to stay awake.
"Professor." Lily said suddenly. This was to be the second time a student had interrupted Binns in the middle of a lesson.
"What is it, Miss-"
"Potter, sir."
"Yes, what do you want Miss Pater?"
"Potter. Anyway, why are we learning about goblin revolutions? Shouldn't we be learning about the Great War, seeing as most of our parents were involved in it, and seeing as there will probably be another one very soon?" Suddenly everyone in the class seemed to be rising from their stupor, interested in what Binns would say next.
"No Miss Peter, we will not be learning about the Great War because there will not BE another war."
"Why not?" Caroline asked.
"Because Fining, I do not want another war." The only sounds for the rest of the lesson, besides Binn's monotonous drone, were the sounds of heads falling to their desks and they occasional snore from Liam.

The next lesson was Potions with Fred and George. They stumbled into the room five minutes late and seemed surprised that the students were all there.
"Alright!" George said, clapping his hands together. "Does anyone know what will happen if I mix undiluted bobotuber pus and Gryffin blood together?"
"The potion will explode." Lily said.
"Really?" Fred asked, looking into the cauldron.
"Yes Fred, er, professor."
"No, no, Fred's fine. George, c'mere, pour that griffin blood in here. I want to see what happens." The class sat on the edge of their seats, waiting for the explosion. They weren't disappointed. A massive cloud mushroomed out of the cauldron, and when the smoke cleared Fred and George's red hair was scorched black.
"Alright." Fred said. "Back to the real lesson."

The last class of the day, thankfully, was double Transfiguration with the Gryffindors. Lily, Caroline and Daniel slid into a seat next to Anna.
"I think there's something going on with Daniel and Caroline." Lily said, pointing at the two who were whispering and giggling.
"Yeah. Do you know who I wish I had something going on with?"
"Freeman?"
"No, Cedric Chang."
"What?"
"He's really handsome. It's funny. He doesn't look Chinese like his mother, but he doesn't look like his dad at all. He looks like Cedric Diggory."
"That dead kid?" Lily asked, copying out notes.
"Yeah, him." Anna replied.
Lily rolled her eyes and shook her head. Hermione clapped her hands together. "Anna, Lily, shut up. Daniel, hurry up and ask Caroline out because I don't want to look at this every class."
Daniel turned bright red and slumped down in his seat, mumbling something undecipherable.
"Did you know when you type Cedric Chang's name on the computer it says you should change it to Quadric." Lily said.
"Type it on the what?" Anna said.

"I think I'm going to buy a boat."
"What? Harry, you can't just go out and buy a boat. Or do you mean a canoe?" Harry, Ron, Draco and Alicia were sitting in Harry's front room.
"No Alicia, I mean a real boat. And why not? I mean, can you see it, Harry Potter, out there on his boat, alone in the sea."
"I think you need a better Beater on the Wasp's front." Alicia said, looking at Draco. "That or he got hit one to many times playing for Gryffindor."
"I'm serious, don't you think a boat would be great Ron?"
"You have never steered a boat in you life. Do you even know what a boat is?"
"Yes, I know what a boat is Ron. And I want one."
"Maybe I should get a boat," Draco said thoughtfully. "What do you think Alicia? You could come visit me on board the Obsession-"
"The Obsession?" Alicia interuppted.
"Sure. Or something equally cliched. But anyway, don't you think that sounds great?"
"No. In truth I don't. What is it with boats? You three probably couldn't even handle a kayak."
"Excuse me!" Ron said indignantly. "But I once had a yacht-"
"It was four feet long and it capsized the first time you tried to take it out."
"That doesn't matter. I had a boat."
"You spend days at a time with these guys?" Alicia asked Draco.
"Sure. Usually Seamus is here though. Just think," he said, sliding his arm over her back and squeezing her shoulder. "You can hang out here too. You're always welcome."
"Want another rum Draco?" Harry called from the kitchen.
"Sure."
Alicia looked up as Harry came back in the room. "There isn't much left so I just poured some coke in the bottle. Drink it all." Alicia grinned and shuddered. The bottle was three quarters full.
"Professor." Lily said suddenly. This was to be the second time a student had interrupted Binns in the middle of a lesson.

"Potter, sir."
