(A/N: Ok this is a bridge chapter....basically it's a fluff chapter written to bridge together major events.)

Chapter 36: Finals

Faith shut her eyes tightly before opening them again to look at her Charms final. 'Name the incantation to make operate by themselves. Ex: a book turning the pages by itself' Faith's thought reading the question. It was the last question on their last review and she was beat. She never wanted to look at another final until June. Faith's mind began to wonder as she stared at the question more. 'I wonder if the Weasleys will be coming over tomorrow....They come over practically every day so I don't see why not.' Faith thought. She could hardly wait till all her finals were over and she could go home for Christmas. Faith let out a huge sigh realizing she had forgotten about the question. She ran a hand through her hair and returned to the question.

James Potter finished writing out the answer to the second to last question and took off his glasses. He cleaned them with the edge of his shirt and then put them back on. James's eyes fluttered around the room and landed on Faith. She was just setting down her green and blue quill and stretched backwards in her seat. Frank Longbottom, who was sitting behind her, gave her a weird look as she bent over backwards in her chair. Faith just smiled awkwardly and gave a little wave with the twitter of her fingers. Frank just shook his head and returned to his charms final. James looked around the room again and his eyes came to rest on Sarah. She was bent over her parchment and was writing slowly. She had the biggest handwriting out of the girls and already had three pages of parchment on her desk. James's gaze then fell on Lily. She was so beautiful. She was already done with her final and James knew that her handwriting would be perfectly straight. James watched as Lily flicked her hair back behind her shoulder and then pulled her hair back into a low ponytail. Lily turned around and saw James looking at her. James realized he had been staring and then returned to his final. 'Stupid' James thought.

'Ew...was James Potter looking at me?' Lily thought as she snapped her head back around. 'No...of course not...that just makes me sound cocky and full of myself...just like him' Lily looked in front of her and noticed Haven Maran. She was the prettiest girl in the whole school (well actually I consider Lily, Faith and Sarah the prettiest but you know what I mean.). Haven had long honey brown hair and it was always in a new hair style every day. She also had violet eyes and a sweet voice. 'Of course....he was only looking at Haven....or maybe Alice...someone. Not me though. Not me...' Lily thought. 'Why do I care so much?...I don't....I don't care at all...I mean he was only in my direction that is completely harmless.' Lily thought convincing her self.

Remus placed his quill on his parchment and leaned back. He sighed and then looked across the room at Sarah. She was just finishing up and Remus smiled at thinking about her. 'Shes so beautiful...and so calm...I love her. Her face is like a poem soft and beautiful.' (Remus always struck me as a poetry man). Remus remembered the poem she had read off to him. She had said she had wrote it herself. Remus smiled wider and thought of her. He knew they would be together forever. They had to be. He would be sad and lonely for the rest of his life if he was with out. Remus didn't want to think about it instead he thought of her.

Serverus set his quill down and frowned. He hated Charms. It was his worst class. He probably would have failed it in his first year too if it hadn't been for Faith. Serverus gave a small smirk and remembering all the times she had helped him with Charms. It wasn't even her best class. 'Charms is that mudbloods best class. Always doing everything just perfect' Serverus thought scowling. Serverus couldn't stand Lily. 'Why does she have to be friends with Faith?' Serverus thought closing his eyes. Serverus began to think about Faith and the things Lucius had been yelling at him...how her mother was a mudblood. 'That can't be true' Serverus thought. As Serverus thought about her more he realized she had changed. Ever so slightly. She still had her same charm and brilliant smile and laughter but he could remember a short time where he didn't see that certain sparkle in her eyes for a long time . 'What had happened?' Serverus thought. (No Faith hasn't got over her mother's death that quickly, shes just trying to play it off like its all ok. Like Serverus said she was sad and quiet for a while.)

Sarah began to think of her next poem as she nervously tapped her foot. 'Pale moonlight cascades over a field of endless brown hair. Tired poetic eyes stare into deep blue ones.' Sarah thought. She smiled to herself and thought of other things she could write about Remus. 'He's so wonderful...the only person here who really appreciates poetry. Lily and Faith both find it boring. They keep finding writing errors and pointing them out every time I pull out a poetry book. Plus Faith isn't really a feelings person' Sarah thought twirling her hair around her finger. She bit her bottom lip and turned around. She met Remus's gaze and blushed. (Dear me, does that girl blush a lot or what?)

Sirius ran a hand through his hair and yawned. He was so tired. He stretched and yawned as he did so. Sirius got a girl with blonde hair looking at him across the room. Sirius winked and the girl blushed a light pink. 'Girls here are to blushy.' Sirius thought. Sirius's eyes wandered over to Faith. She was leaning back in her chair and her feet were propped up on her desk. 'I don't think I've ever seen Faith blush....well there was that one time in our second year....but I think that was more an I'm pissed and I'm going to kiss someones ass face rather than a I'm embarrassed face.' Sirius thought and smirked slightly.

"Quills down." The voice of Professor Flitwick said shaking Sirius of his thoughts.

Lily got up gracefully out of her chair and chuckled as Faith stumbled out of hers.

"Lets go get some food before my stomach eats itself." Faith said.

"Is that even possible?" Sarah asked as they walked to the great hall.

"I'm sure it is. And Faith...I doubt your stomach would eat itself you feed it every 10 seconds." Lily teased.

"Besides it would eat away your muscles first." Sarah said. She didn't even know if it was true but it sounded right to her.

"Well thanks for getting all bloody detailed...." Faith said sticking out her tongue.

"Lose your appitate?" Lily asked teasingly.

"Not a chance." Faith said smirking. Sarah cracked a huge grin and they entered the great hall.

Later that night Faith was walking into the common room. The back of a huge couch was facing her. Faith grinned devilishly. Running Faith jumped onto the couch and landed on Sirius.

"Ow..." Sirius said as Faith landed in his lap. Faith laughed nervously.

"Hehhehe Hi." Faith said. (I do the same thing, jump on the couch....landed on someone once.)

"Hi." Sirius said as Faith got off of him.

(A/N: Ok I suck at poetry. I am exactly like Faith not a feelings person so tell me how I did with Sarah's poetry. Also I know who everyone's fav character is....but which character do you relate the most to and which one acts the most like you (Hey some people might act like Sirius but they relate to Sarah...its possible.)
