A/N: Oh my gosh, I love you all, my wonderful readers and reviewers! I had so many good reviews that I can die happily! I'm floating in heaven right now.

I forgot one person before, while adding my thanks here: Angelisa Snape. Sorry that I didn't add you for chapter 7's thanks, it's just that I finished it before I saw your review. So, I want to apologize.

And another apology for Jo. Jo had been reading/reviewing and helping me with this story since the beginning. And I'm sorry; I was just so stressed last time. I had two major tests. All right, enough about me. I would like to say thanks for your review. I will try and develop the other characters in my story. At first I started off with both James and Lily's thoughts, but I just, I don't know, forgot to after awhile. I will go back to doing that. I will also give some of Sirius', Remus', and Arabella's thoughts (forget about Peter!) As for not updating everyday, I don't know. A lot of my readers want me to write a lot, so I will just do the best I can, all right? Thanks.

You know what? I have a way of not missing anybody. To all my reviewers (This is safe, since I won't miss anybody): Thank you for reviewing!!

By the way, I noticed a lot of mistakes in chapter 7 after I had uploaded it. I'm SO sorry. I had forgot to spell-check it. I was in a hurry. So, I'm apologizing for my mistakes okay?

And also, a reviewer (Jewlz) asked whether I'm going to have any Marauders' pranks in my story I would like to tell all the rest too. I will try and have pranks in my story; just not right now okay? I've thought about this and I'm going to put in pranks in later chapters, but not this one. Okay?? On with the story now!

Chapter 8

Over on the other side of the room, Bella was playing with her hair. She was so bored. She hated this class. She would've dropped it if it weren't required. She looked at her best friend taking notes. Bella yawned, eyeing the parchments in front of her friend, expecting to see tons of notes, when all she saw were doodles. A flower here, a rabbit there--it wasn't notes! Bella quickly took out a piece of parchment, write something on it, and passed it to Lily.

Bella - Lily, why are you doodling instead of taking your usual notes??

Lily - You know we shouldn't be passing notes in class, Bella!

Bella - Don't change the subject! You've never not take notes in this class before.

Lily - Don't be silly. Of course I have!

Bella - When, then?

Lily - Well…er…that…that…one time…er…

Bella - …?

Lily - Okay, okay. You're right. I've just been…thinking, okay?

Bella - 'Bout what?

Lily - About…things.

Bella - C'mon, Lily, you can tell me. I'm your best friend!

Lily - Fine, but not now. I'll tell you later in the Head's dorm, okay? I've got to pay attention now!

Bella - Yeah, right. When are we ever going to need to know this in life? (a/n: she and Sirius are so perfect for each other!)

Lily - Whatever.

And with that, Bella put away that parchment.

Later at night, in the dorms, Bella sat down on her bed and look up at Lily expectedly. Sighing, Lily sat on her bed and looked at her friend.

"So…? What were you thinking about in History of Magic that made our perfect Lilikins not pay attention?" Bella asked.

"Well…"

"Well what??"

"I was sort of thinking about…"

"About what??"

"About…"

"LILY GET ON WITH IT!! YOU'RE DRVING ME INSANE!!"

"All right, all right…I was thinking about…iwussortathinkinboutjames…"

"You were WHAT?"

"I was thinking about James, okay?!" Lily raised her voice slightly, a bit annoyed.

"Oh my gosh, you like James?? Oh my gosh, Lily this is so cool! I can tell he likes you too! Oh my gosh, you guys will make such a cute couple!!"

"Bella, c'mon. I'm not even sure I like him. I've just been thinking about him for a bit and already you're making us a couple? Like I've said, I'm not sure. I just like him a bit more-than-friend. Besides, he doesn't even like me."

"He does!! He's always staring at you--"

"He does not."

"Does too! Anyway, didn't you see the look on his face when Professor Vacarra made you his partner for that project? He looked like he just got free tickets to the Quidditch World Cup and a ton of chocolate frogs!"

"You are SO over-exaggerating!"

"Am not!"

"Whatever, Bella. Whatever."

"You're so in denial." And they went to sleep.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The next few days passed by quickly. James and Lily finished their potion and were finished with preparing for the presentation. Soon the week was over, and on Friday, it was presentation time. James and Lily were due to go right after Sirius and Arabella.

"For this project, Bella and I had decide to do the Burping Potion," Sirius said.

"The history of the Burping Potion is not very interesting. It started when a witch decide to create a potion that will help "burp" her infant. And so she got to work, and voila!, the Burping Potion was created!" said Bella. (a/n: you don't know how hard it was for me to made that up. I raked my brain, and finally came up with that). "And now, Sirius will test the potion."

So Sirius scooped out some brown liquid from their cauldron and placed it in a cup. He held his breath and drained it. As soon as the last drop touched his tongue, Sirius dropped the cup and let out a huge belch. The guys in the room laughed and the girls went "eww." Professor Vacarra magically cleaned up the shattered cup, smiled, and said, "Well, thank you Mr. Black and Ms. Figg for that certainly entertaining presentation. And now Mr. Potter and Ms. Evans."
