"Ten minutes?" Auria exclaimed, Sirius' lips an inch from hers.
"Yup" he said with a grin.
"Great" Auria replied smiling. "Then I have to go." When she saw the disappointed look on Sirius' face she added, "We can do this later, tonight."
"Ok, bye" Sirius said slowly, pressing himself against the wall to let her pass him.
"Where do are you going?" Sirius asked curiously once they were outside the secret passage.
"To the library" Auria called over her shoulder as she ran down the hall.
A moment later Auria reached the library. She ran inside and stopped. It suddenly occurred to her that she had absolutely no idea where or what to look for.
"Milky glass balls" she thought sarcastically to herself. "Because I'm sure that there will be a book titled Milky Glass Balls."
"Can I help you?" Madame Pince snapped at her. "Or are you just going to stand in the middle of the library staring at the shelves?"
"Um...actually, you can't help me" Auria said with a smile, an idea forming in her head.
She turned and left the library before Madame Pince could utter an insult. Looking at her watch Auria realized that it was too late to carry out her plan, so she head off down the stairs to potions class.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Oh yeah, did you find what you were looking for in the library?" Sirius asked at dinner that night.
"No, but its ok, I've figured out another way to get the information" she said popping a piece of baked potato into her mouth.
"What is it that you're trying to find exactly?" he asked, looking slightly hurt that she was keeping a secret.
Auria quickly glanced at the Marauders. Remus and Peter were too busy eating to be paying attention, while James was having a glaring contest with Snape across the Great Hall. Auria stood up and leaned across the large table and whispered in Sirius' ear.
"It's something I found in the Bengers house, but I'll tell you about it later."
"You mean after you change your shirt?" Sirius asked with a laugh.
Auria looked down to find her nice white school shirt lying across a bowl of chocolate pudding.
"Yup" she sighed, closing her eyes and shaking her head but smiling in amusement.
She sat back down and wrapped her cloak around her chest to hide the stain.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That night in the common room, cleaned and changed, Auria told Sirius all about the bright room at the Bengers.
"What do you think they are?" he asked.
"I don't know" Auria replied. "That's what I was trying to find out. But it's very difficult when all you know about them is that they are glass balls with names below them."
"That's true" Sirius said leaning his head on her shoulder.
"Well, there's nothing we can do about it now. We'd better start studying."
"Yes you'd better" said a voice from behind them.
Auria and Sirius twisted their heads around to find a very despondent looking Lupin gazing back at them.
"Especially since McGonagall just told me that she made a mistake with the chapters we have to know" he said.
All of the sixth years in the common room fell silent and stared at him in nervous anticipation. It's not chapters 1-13, its chapters 1-23."
A loud groan filled the room.
"Lizards, clocks, candles, desks and spiders to learn" Auria said flipping through her book.
"Guess you guys will have to stop having so much "alone time"" Lily said sounding victorious.
Sirius and Auria looked at each other and grinned.
"Nah" they said in unison and then kissed right in front of the disgusted looking Lily.
"Yup" he said with a grin.
"Great" Auria replied smiling. "Then I have to go." When she saw the disappointed look on Sirius' face she added, "We can do this later, tonight."
