Holly awoke later that evening, entwined in a tangle of bed sheets and Professor Lupin.

She smiled, remembering the events of earlier that day. Lupin was still asleep, snoring slightly. She decided to go back to her dormitory without waking him.

It must've been well past midnight, because the halls were empty as Holly made her way back to the Slytherin dorms.

"Divination," she whispered the password to the portrait standing guard over the portrait hole.

(A/n: I have NO idea what the actual portrait is guarding the Slytherin rooms, or even if it IS a portrait. And I really don't feel like combing through 5 books just to find it. Geez, I have better things to do than that, like watch Evangelion XDDDDD)

"Yes, dear," the portrait replied sleepily, swinging forward to admit her. Holly made her way through the hole in the wall and into the common room. She was happy to find it deserted. She crept quietly up the spiral staircase to her room and fell into bed, still fully clothed.

Holly awoke later that morning to find Anna Macnair standing over her.

"Where were you yesterday, huh?" Anna asked, the grin on her face manically huge.

Holly sighed and rolled out of bed. Anna was probably just fishing for gossip.

"C'mon, you can tell me!" Anna cried, her grin turning into a pout.

Holly shook her head vigorously, "It's time for class."

"You're no fun," Anna said, still pouting, as they picked up their book bags and made their way down to the dungeons for Potions.

"Have you got a date for Hogsmeade next weekend? Or are you just going to tag along with Theodore and me?" Anna asked, trying to break the awkward silence as they walked through the Great Hall and down a long corridor.

Holly hadn't thought of Hogsmeade before Anna mentioned it. She couldn't very well go with Professor Lupin, she didn't want to raise eyebrows, or more likely be called a teacher's pet. Even if she quite literally was the teacher's pet.

"Holly! Hey, HOLLY!" A voice shouted from behind her. Holly turned around to see who had called, and saw Oliver Wood rushing down the dark corridor towards her.

"Hi Oliver!" She said brightly. He may be cute, but he's no Lupin, that's for sure, she thought to herself. "Holly, are you going to Hogsmeade this weekend? Because, I thought if you weren't going with anyone." he trailed off, noticing that Anna was still there.

Anna took this as her cue to leave; she turned and skipped down the length of the corridor, disappearing into the darkness.

"If you're not going with anyone, do you want to go with me?" Oliver finished, grinning.

"I'd love to go with you," She replied. Liar, liar, pants on fire, she thought to herself. But just wait till Lupin hears about my little plan. She was smirking on the inside.
