Chapter 14- Tiffany and . . . SIRIUS!

About a month later, which would bring you to around the 10 of October, you could find a group of six in the library studying. Three boys and three girls. And two of these girls appeared to have come attached with male arms around them. Wonder who they are?

James and Lily were researching their potions project along with their friends. And of course, these two had to get the hardest potion to do their report on. They had to research the Love Knowledge Potion. A potion that let its brewer have all the knowledge in love that the world possessed. Sort of stupid if you were to ask these two students. After all, who would want to know everything about love instead of feeling it and experiencing it for themselves?

Remus and Aria had the Forgetfulness potion as their topic . . . the name explains it all. And Sirius and Aria had the Stone Potion. This potion would turn whoever drank it into a statue for one month to five years, depending on how strong you made the potion.

"Does anyone else think that this thing is stupid?" Lily asked frustrated by her lack of research. All she got in return was five stares that read, 'No, we think that this is needed for our intelligence.' Lily looked at them and shrugged her shoulders as if to say 'so, it was just a question' and got back to reading the book that was in front of her.

James smiled to himself as he began reading again. It seemed as if that was all that he could do lately. Smile. And it had everything to do with the girl sitting by his side irritated because she couldn't find anything on their subject.

James moved his arm from around Lily's shoulder, and lowered it in between the space that was made from the back of the chair to her lower back and wrapped his arm around her, slowly rubbing her side.

Lily jumped at the feel of a hand touching her skin - a cold hand at that. She heard at chuckle coming from the right of her, and turned her head that way. Only to meet a pair of sparkling blue eyes watching her. She stuck her tongue out at him and returned her attention back to the aggravating book that continued to give detailed information about every potion you could think of . . . except the Love Knowledge potion. She leaned her head against James's shoulder and yawned. This was so boring.

"Kayla," you could hear Sirius whine from across the table. "Why can't we do this somewhere else? I don't like the library. It has BOOKS! It's creepy. All of these people here to LEARN! Can you imagine that?" he finished with a touch of wonder in his voice.

Lily shook her head and looked around her and sighed.

Here were the people that she had come to love during her years at Hogwarts, and for a few before, all doing the same thing, but different at the same time. 'One of these days, we're going to look back at our time here at Hogwarts and miss these days so much. We're going to crave for the simplicity of Hogwarts every day of our life after we graduate from here.' She mused as she watched Kayla argue with Sirius about why it was easier to do their research in the Library.

"They argue over the stupidest things don't they?" a voice whispered over her ear, sending shivers down her body.

Lily looked up into James's eyes once again and smiled. "Yea. But they wouldn't be Kayla and Sirius if they didn't fight at least fifty times a day." She whispered back. James smiled at her and kissed her forehead then returned to his book, making Lily sigh again, but this time with an air of contentment. 'I'm going to miss these days.' Was all she thought as, once more, she turned her attention to the book that was laid out in front of her.

Kayla sighed in resignation. She was going to have to do something about this problem. "I can't go on like this anymore!" she cried out as she launched herself onto her bed. "I hate him so much. He gets on my nerves every time he opens that big mouth of his, but I do-" she got cut off by the sound of Tiffany coming through the door, talking to herself. She was mumbling on about something, but what? Kayla strained her hearing to pick up the words.

"God damn you Sirius Black! How could you say something like that? You had no right what so ever! God! If I never see your revolting, slimy, disoriented face again it'll be too soon!" she muttered viciously enough to have Kayla's eyebrows lifting in speculation.

"Well, well, well, what did ol' Siri poo do to Tiffany?" Kayla whispered to herself. After all, they are hardly ever around each other. 'Or are they? Hmm . . . something to think about.' Kayla thought.

"Stupid, stupid, stupid, Sirius." Was all that you could hear out of Tiffany for the rest of the night.

And Kayla decided to play detective on this matter. Just her, and just for fun . . . or maybe just so that she could bug Sirius. No one knows the answer to that, not even she does.

A/N: I know, this chapter was a little weird. I was sort of going from one perspective to the next, then a different P.o.V. all together. Sorry. But I was trying to make it seem more . . . mysterious? I don't know . . . something like that.

Well, I hope that you could understand this, and that you enjoyed. Please Review with your comments.

Thank you for reading,
