"Ugh, we've got Double Potions and Arithmacy today," Jackie grumbled as they walked along the corridor to class.
"So?" Amy chirped, obviously the blonde of the group.
"With Slytherin."
"Oh."
"Hey, Lily, can I borrow those shoes tonight? I'm going on a date with the bloke from Ravenclaw after Divination," Amy asked brightly. "They match that red dress I'm borrowing from Jackie."
"That's MY dress that she never gave back. But you can wear them, as long as you don't decide to go for a walk through mud puddles again like last time," she said exasperatedly. Amy blushed and mumbled an apology. Hermione looked down at her own shoes and was wondering if the Potions teacher was anything near as bad as Snape was. Just as she was looking up, she ran right into someone and knocked them both over.
"Sorry, Rayne! I didn't see you there. Just don't punch me this time, ok?"
She looked up and saw that Sirius was looking down at her, holding out his hand to help her up.
"Thanks. Sorry about that, Sirius."
"No problem. Wait...why are you being so nice? What did you do? If you even did anything to my homework again..."
"W-what? I didn't do a-anything!" Hermione almost yelled, and blushed a deep shade of red. Sirius looked at her like she was an alien.
"Why are you being so jumpy around me?"
"Why are you playing Ask-20-Questions with me?!" she retorted.
"That's better. You've been acting odd lately. I almost had the impression that you were starting to fancy me..."
"In your dreams, Black!" 'Actually, MY dreams. Oh Merlin, did I say that out loud?!'
"I don't think you meant to say that out loud."
"I-I no, I d-didn't..."
He leaned in to her and put his arm around her shoulders, so that she was inches from his face. As he spoke, she could smell the scent of his cologne and feel his breath on her face. "Well, if you ever change your mind, you know where to find me," he said huskily, winking at her. She felt like she wanted to shrink in his arms so that he couldn't see her turn a deeper shade of red. Just as she thought he was going to kiss her, he laughed and took his arm off her shoulder.
She started to say something, but someone slipped their arms around Sirius's waist and pulled him away from Hermione. When Sirius turned around, she got a good look at the person. It was a blonde girl, dressed in Hufflepuff robes, and wearing a skin-tight tank top and extremely short skirt underneath. She looked at Hermione with disgust, looking her up and down with a 'Stay-away-from-my-man' look in her eyes.
"See you around, Rayne," Sirius said, walking away with the blonde close to his side. 'I should've known, a boy like him probably goes for the blondes,' She got up quickly and ran to class, barely making it on time. She saw her 3 friends waiting for her by the door.
"Where the hell have YOU been? Snogging Michael again? You've been late for that almost every day this week!" Lily said.
"Yeah, right. I saw her talking to Sirius again!" Jackie said, and all three squealed.
"Oh my God, did he say anything about me?!" Amy was practically bouncing up and down with excitement, her blonde locks bouncing with her.
"No, we were just talking about school work," she lied. She hated lying to these guys so much, especially since she was letting her guard down so much for them. They seemed really nice, not like the girls from the future Hogwarts.
"Yeah, whatever. Look at that git, probably planning a prank for poor old Severus again," Lily said with fake disgust, glaring at James Potter talking with his friends, leaning over a piece of parchment. She saw James look up at Lily and wink, a smirk on his face. "Oh, the NERVE of that boy!"
Jackie, Amy, and Hermione all looked at each other with the same looks on their faces.
"CLASS, TAKE A SEAT!" a voice bellowed from the front of the classroom, and Hermione saw a short man with short, gray hair and a beard that could almost rival that of Dumbledore's. "Open your books to page eh..." he stammered a bit while thumbing through the pages, "One hundred seventy-three. Today, we're covering the proper way to identify a werewolf...,"
Just as he announced this, Hermione looked over to the younger version of Remus Lupin sitting next to Peter. He immediately paled and looked around at his friends nervously, who were also exchanging nervous looks. Hermione almost felt sorry for the poor guy.
Sirius looked up at Hermione, catching her eye as she watched Lupin. 'What is up with you?' he mouthed, and Hermione just looked down at her book and pretended she was reading. She heard Lily scoff and saw that James was waving to her and smirking suggestively at her.
Hermione laughed, for what seemed like the first time that day. 'Maybe things just might get better...' AN: Sorry I took so long. And sorry the chapter was short. And sorry it sucked. Ha, I wrote this in about 10 minutes I had after my softball game and before my soccer game. I'll stop whining. Please R/R, it really helps to know that some people like the friggin' story.
