Lives and Loves of Ravenclaw Girls
Chapter 09 – Girl Talk
By: Samantha, Julie and Megan
-----------
Megan and Shannon were peacefully sleeping in Divination when Julie came in, slamming open the trap door and waking the two up. Megan looked up as she saw Julie explaining to Professor Trelawney what had happened. "I win, pay up." she said grinning as Julie sat down beside them. Shannon pulled out the money and slapped it into Megan's hand.
"So, you guys betting on me now?" Julie asked raising her eyebrows.
"Yes, and while you're at it, Shannon, you still owe me 6 sickles from that bet I won last week," Megan said holding her hand out.
"You did not win that, I did. Remember I said 3 days, you said 4 and I was right."
"Yeah and it was 3 days so I won."
"What are you talking about?" Julie asked.
"Shannon and I had a bet going how long it would take for Sam and Snape to get back together. And I won," Megan said holding out her hand again. Shannon begrudgingly gave Megan the money, "Goody, now I can get Jules a birthday gift tomorrow."
"Aww, thanks Megz. What cha gonna get me?"
"Well, it's a surprise. But I'll give you a clue. It starts with an 'L' and ends with 'Eather' Jacket," Julie burst out laughing.
"You can't possibly think I would wear it though?" Megan put on a mock hurt face.
"But you told me you liked mine."
"Yeah and I like it on you, not me."
"Fine, I guess the present will be a surprise then," Megan sighed dramatically, put her head back down on the table and promptly fell asleep.
--------
Julie poked Megan when the bell rang, "Megz, get up."
"Five more minutes, mummy," Megan said loudly making the class laugh. Julie nudged her again. "The tadpoles are going to get me! Don't let them escape!" The class laughed louder this time and woke Megan up. She looked around, blurry eyed and groaned. "I was talking in my sleep again, wasn't I?" Julie nodded and Megan groaned. "The show's over folks, I'm awake now. Go on to your next class. Nothing to see." the class laughed but did as Megan had told them.
"I'm going to be the talk of the school by dinner," she groaned again and hit her head on the table. "Just kill me now," Julie and Shannon laughed and hauled Megan away from the table and down to their next class. They made their way down the spiral staircase. They met up with Heidi and Sam in the Entrance Hall.
"Did you have fun in Divination?" Heidi asked. Megan groaned.
"Megz here had a vision about some tadpoles," Shannon said laughing.
"Ah, fell asleep again, huh?" Megan nodded and everyone laughed. "You should really stop doing that, you know?"
"Yeah, but sleep is so good," Megan said smiling.
"Oh, course it is," Tag said slipping his arms around Megan's waist. Megan leaned back into his embrace and just let him hold her.
"I'm so tired," she said turning around and resting her head on his chest she closed her eyes. "So, so, so tired."
"Oh, that's too bad." Shannon said rolling her eyes.
"Stop being so mopy just because you don't have a guy," Julie said.
"Yet," Megan added grinning stupidly. "I'm so tired." she moaned again. Julie hit her upside the head. "Ow, what was that for?"
"Stop complaining."
"Stop hitting," Megan said hitting her back.
"Stop fighting," Heidi said stepping between the two.
"Stop interrupting," Julie said smacking Heidi.
"Stop talking," Sam said holding her head.
"Stop it," Shannon said pointing an accusing finger.
"Stop saying stop," Tag said. All the girls burst out laughing but stopped when Professor Kettleburn cleared his throat.
"Do have something to share with the class girls?" he asked raising an eyebrow.
"No, sir," Megan said widening her eyes and shaking her head vigorously.
"All right, then if you return your attention to the head of the class we can begin," he said as he strode back to the front of the class to stand in front of everyone. Once he was back up there Megan whipped back around and asked,
"Drinks at one, at Three Broomsticks. Everyone has to be there," The girls all nodded in agreement and went back to listen to Professor Kettleburn's lecture about the care and handling of a fire crab.
The bell rung to signal the end of class as all five girls headed towards the castle.
"What do we have now?" Megan moaned.
"Um, Megan, how long have we been in school now? Maybe you should check your timetable girl," Shannon shot back.
"Oh, shove off, Shannon," as Megan started pulling her back off her back, "Stupid thing where the hell is it?"
"Don't panic Megz we have Muggle studies," Julie glared at Shannon.
The girls bickered and play fought all the way up to the castle about how tired and bored and frustrated they were.
Julie was the first to reach the classroom door and
flung it open only to walk into a very warm, very sturdy figure on
their way out.
Two warms strong hands reached out to steady her
and without pressed his lips to hers.
"Uhhhhh," Julie sighed.
"Excuse us," The other four girls said pushing their way into class.
Julie took Remus' hand and sat at the back of the class holding hands under the table.
Sam had found a seat next to James Potter.
And the other girls moved and sat at the table to the other side.
"Hi, James," Sam said as she sat down and smiled.
"Heyya, Sam, how's things?" he replied.
"Yea, good, good, hey I forgot my parchment set can I use some spare?" Sam asked.
"Sure, no problem, but you owe me big, Adams," he smirked.
"I owe you nothing, Potter," She laughed.
"Fine, but you will get yours," he said laughing.
"Is something funny Mr. Potter and Miss Adams?" Professor Roberts asked.
"No, no, nothing at all," they replied in unison making the rest of the class laugh in their direction.
Sam started to scribble a note on some parchment she'd borrowed, then handed it to James as to not get caught talking again.
She nudged James in the side and he took the letter slowly opening it to read what was so important.
James? Me, Heidi, Julie, Megan and Shannon are
going down to the Three Broomsticks at 1pm for drinks. Do ya want to
meet up Julie is inviting Remus and Heidi will bring Will of course I
haven't asked Severus and Megan is bring Tag should be interesting
huh?
You're welcome to bring Lily and Sirius and Kassie.
What ya say?
"And here I thought you just wanted to spend time with me I am hurt I don't know if I will heal from this," James looked up at her and smirked making Sam burst into a fit of giggles causing Julie to kick her from behind.
"OUCH," Sam screamed.
"MISS ADAMS! KINDLY REFRAIN FROM CAUSING DISTRACTIONS IN MY CLASSROOM, 20 POINTS FROM RAVENCLAW!"
"Sorry, sir," Sam looked at her table James grinning.
Megan hit the back of Sam's chair, "Stop losing points for us."
"Stop telling me what to do."
"Stop talking," Tag said, "Gah, you guys say stop too much."
"I know, but it's fun," Megan said giving him a kiss.
The rest of the time passed quite quickly with Remus and Julie snogging behind a book and Shannon hissing at them to stop it before she puked.
They were walking out of class and Shannon was complaining again. "Why can't you at least show me who this Rack person is?" she begged of Megan and Tag.
"Stop begging, Shannon. You look like a dog," Julie said.
"His name is Rick and he's right there," Megan said pointing randomly.
"Where?" Shannon asked whipping around to look, "I can't see him."
"That's because he's in Herbology right now," Tag said smiling.
"You're evil, you know that, E-V-I-L."
"Wow, Shannon can spell," Megan said grinning ear to ear.
"Yeah, and I have eyes too. You could be a nice friend and show me who I'll be going out with tomorrow."
"Yeah, I think I will."
"Really?"
"Yeah. Tomorrow."
"Oh, I hate you."
"Love ya too, babe," Megan said blowing her a kiss and sitting down at the table pulling some potatoes towards her.
Shannon sat down and sighed, "Everyone hates me."
"No, I think in fact that it is me that you hate," Megan said grinning and stuffing the potatoes into her mouth.
"Why are you always so hungry and yet never gain a pound?" Sam asked knitting her eyebrows together.
"I have high metabolism," Megan said once she had swallowed.
After dinner the girls went back to the common room and started to make arrangements for the next day.
--------
"Lucius!" came the voice of Professor Malfoy, "You will not disgrace the Malfoy name in this way, I forbid you."
"I don't care what you think, mother," Lucius shot back, "I am going to go into the dark lord's service and there's nothing you can do about it."
"Oh, yes there is," she said, pulling her wand out of her pocket, "Expelliarmus!" Lucius' wand flew into her outstretched hand.
"Give me my wand back, mother!" Lucius yelled, trying to grab it out of her hand.
"No, we are going back to Malfoy manor and your father will deal with this,"
"No, not father! Please, mother … not father," Lucius, pleaded.
"You need to take responsibility for your actions, Lucius," she said, "Petrificus Totalus," Lucius' legs and arms locked together as he fell to the ground. "Mobilicorpus," Professor Malfoy led her floating son's body towards the gate of Hogwarts. Once they were there Malfoy took her son's hand and apparated both of them to Malfoy Manor.
"Wow!" Samantha and James said in unison
-------
Samantha and
James ran into the library where Shannon, Julie and Megan were
studying with Remus and Lily.
"Guess what we just heard!"
Samantha said excitedly
"What?" Shannon asked, putting down
her book (How to be Evil; An Empress' Tale)
"We just
overhead Professor Malfoy having a go at her son, Lucius about
becoming a death-eater!"
"Are you being serious?" Shannon
asked in amazement, "Does that mean that Professor Malfoy isn't a
death-eater?"
"She said he was disgracing the Malfoy name by
becoming a death-eater, I'd say that she isn't one," Samantha
told them
"Why is this, such a surprise to all of you?" Lily
asked, "Sure, Professor Malfoy's a strict teacher, but she was
never evil. She's always been fair, she treats the Slytherins the
same way she treats us."
"But, still …" Julie mused, "We
just assumed she was a death-eater."
-------
Professor
Malfoy apparated herself and her son to the front lawn of Malfoy
Manor. She quickly took the leg locker curse off her son and set off
with him towards the entrance of the manor. A few servants were
outside tending to the huge garden.
"Lady Malfoy, Master
Lucius," a house servant said, bowing to her and Lucius.
"Where
is Lord Malfoy?" she asked sharply
"He is in the study,
milady," the servant said, Professor Malfoy nodded and made sure
that Lucius was ahead of her before following the servant through the
great oak doors. He led them down several corridors before reaching
an enormous enamel door.
"Here you are, milady," he said
knocking on the door,
"Enter," came a deep musical voice from
within the room. Professor Malfoy pushed the door open and ushered
Lucius inside before her. A powerful looking blonde man was sitting
behind the enormous rimu desk.
"Aetheria, my love," he said
getting out from behind his desk, "How goes all?"
"Very
good, Gabriel," she said, pecking him on the cheek, "Lucius has
something to tell you though," Aetheria Malfoy glared at her son
and then sat down on the corner of her husbands desk.
"Well,
Lucius?" Gabriel Malfoy said returning to his seat.
"I-I,
I've decided to …" he trailed off as his father started glaring
at him.
"Well, boy, spit it out," he demanded
"I-I've
decided to go into the dark lords service, father," Lucius gulped
and looked down and ground as his father death-glared at him.
"You
will do nothing of the sort, Lucius," Gabriel said firmly, "How
dare you even think of jeopardising your family name like
that!"
"Yes, Lucius, we will not allow you to get involved
with Lord Voldemort!" Aetheria chimed in, "You will forget about
this silliness,"
"But–" Lucius started
"No buts,
Lucius," his father said, "You will marry Narcissa Black in
January, at which time I expect to hear that this silly notion has
gone from your head."
Lucius lowered his head, "Yes,
father,"
"You are dismissed." Lucius nodded solemnly and
left the office.
"I do hope he forgets about this, Gabriel,"
Aetheria said taking her husbands hand.
"I will see to it that
he forgets, my love."
"Good," she smiled sweetly at him,
"How is Alexandria?"
"In a twitter because she's starting
Hogwarts next September," Gabriel grinned.
"Just a bit over
excited, don't you think? September is far away,"
"Yes,
she's also excited about getting her Christmas presents and having
her mother come home, she misses you,"
"I know, is she here
now?"
"I think so, she spends a lot of time with the
Lockhart's daughter, Sarah," Gabriel told her, "They usually
play in Alexandria's play room." Aetheria nodded and headed out
of the room in search of her daughter. Gabriel went back to work,
"Death-Eater indeed. Over my dead body," he said to the empty
room.
-------
"Alexandria?" Aetheria called from
the door of her daughter's bedroom.
"Mum!" ten-year-old
Alexandria Malfoy came bursting out of her playroom and threw herself
at her mother.
"I take it you're happy to see me?" Aetheria
grinned, "I don't have much time, I have a staff meeting this
afternoon."
"Can I come, please?" Alexandria pleaded.
"You
won't find it interesting, I have to supervise the students in
Hogsmeade."
"Pretty please, mama," she said, smiling sweetly
at her mother, "I promise I'll be good and
everything."
"Alright," she relented, "I'll bring you
back here on Sunday evening and we can have a nice family dinner and
I'll go back to Hogwarts in on Monday morning."
"YAY!"
Alexandria jumped around the room, "I'm going to Hogwarts!"
"Come
on then, we'll floo from the sitting room,"
-------
After dinner the girls went back to the common room and started to make arrangements for the next day.
"What should I wear?" asked Sam, digging through her trunk throwing her belongings on the floor as she went.
The girls had retreated back up into their dormitory room. Instead of talking, Megan threw on her headphones and began blaring her music. At the beginning of the year she had discovered a charm to protect the discman from going haywire because of the magic. Julie sat on her bed, looking over an old photo album. Shannon sat on her bed, clicking her tongue in boredom as she brushed her hair, as Heidi was pouring over a piece of parchment, quill in hand.
"Well, what look are you going for exactly?" asked Heidi, as she gnawed on the tip of her sugar quill.
"Look?" asked Sam as she shuffled around the clothes on the floor.
"Yeah. Look, you know? Take Megan for an example. She wears leather jackets, combat boots, and mainly baggy clothes," said Julie, not looking up.
"Talking about me again?" asked Megan, taking off her headphones and grinning.
"Oh yeah Megz, your the most entertaining thing at Hogwarts," laughed Shannon, rolling her eyes.
"Yes, yes i am, aren't I? Haha, you all love me, with the exception of Shannon," grinned Megan.
"If you would just poi--" started Shannon before a pillow hit her straight in the face. "Who did that?" Shannon asked, looking around the room. Julie and Megan were doubled over in laughter; Heidi was trying not to laugh, while Sam was oblivious to the whole ordeal.
"Haha! Nicely done Megz," laughed Julie, holding out one hand while she wiped away tears from the corner of her eyes.
Megan slapped her hand, "Thanks! It just comes naturally these days."
"So what am i going to wear?" asked Sam, holding up her white sweater.
"If you want to wear that, wear a light coloured top, maybe a soft red with a white logo or pattern, to compliment your newly-black hair," said Julie flipping a page in her photo album. Sam picked up the suggested outfit and looked into the full length mirror.
"What are you looking at, by the way?" asked Megan, jumping on to her bed.
"Us, back in the old days. This is second year, I think."
Megan looked down at the pictures and laughed out loud.
"What's up?" asked Heidi, looking at them.
"It's us!" laughed Megan again.
"Naw, really? I thought it was other people," laughed Julie, rolling her eyes.
"No, no, no. It's just," trailed off Megan.
"We look so innocent?" finished Julie.
"Exactly! Hey wait, get OUT of my head!" grinned Megan, hitting Julie with a pillow.
"Gladly! After a trip in there i can never look at Tag the same way again!" laughed Julie, throwing the pillow back at her.
"You two are insane," sighed Shannon.
Megan cocked an eyebrow, "And you think you're normal?"
"Naw, Shan's not normal! She was sorted in with us, remember?" laughed Heidi.
"I think the hat was on crack when we were sorted," said Megan absently.
"Can a hat smoke? Let alone crack?" asked Julie, puzzled.
"Hey man! If that hat can sing and talk, it could probably smoke," grinned Megan.
"Hey, stop incriminating the hat!" said Shannon.
"Hey Shan, did the hat steal your stash?" asked Heidi.
"Hey, or did you steal its?" asked Julie.
"Hey, why are we saying 'hey' at the beginning of every sentence?" asked Megan.
"It's the new stop," replied Shannon simply.
"Hair up or down?" asked Sam, before anyone could reply to Shannon.
"Down," said Julie.
"I don't know. I mean if--" started Sam.
"If you don't shut up about how you look i will personally shove a pillow down your throat," said Megan, rolling her eyes.
"Ouch, harsh Megz," said Heidi as Sam glared.
"Harsh, but true," Megan retorted as she glared back.
"Why are you getting so worked up over this weekend?" asked Shannon.
"Well, it will be my first official date with Severus. I want to look amazing!" replied Sam, smiling to herself.
"Yes, I mean, because there's SO much of a difference between your dates here and stepping through a gate," Megan said abruptly.
"Wait a minute, this will be my first official dater with Remus," said Julie grinning.
"And this is my first 'official' date with Will," remembered Heidi.
"Forget official. This will be my first date with Rick, ever!" laughed Shannon.
"And this will be my... uh. Well this will be a great date with Tag. Even though we have gone before," put in Megan.
"Exactly! Now aren't you all going to freak out too?"
"No," said the girls collectively before laughing again.
"Honestly, Sammykins, chill out," said Julie grinning.
Sam shot Julie a glare, "Don't use that name!"
"I don't know Sam, it has a ring to it," said Shannon, clapping Sam on the back.
"Sammykins and Sevvikins, sitting in a tree," cooed Megan.
Sam reached down to her scattered belongings and chucked the first thing she could grab. Her defense against the dark arts book hurtled towards Megan's head, but struck Julie in the chest instead.
Julie lay down on her bed gasping for breath. "Sam you idiot! Who throws a book?!" scolded Megan.
"I'm so sorry Jules!" said Sam, walking over to her.
"S'all good, Sammykins," wheezed Julie, out of breath.
"Are you ok?" asked Megan, looking down at her friend.
"She'll be fine, let her re-coup," said Shannon simply.
"What were we talking about?" asked Megan.
"Dunno," said Heidi, looking back over her parchment.
"What is that Heidi?" asked Shannon, looking over.
"Letter to Will?" asked Megan.
"Maybe about Hogsmeade tomorrow," grinned Shannon.
"Or inviting him up to the astronomy tower."
"A little late night romp?"
"So you can escape us loons."
"And not come back till morning, if at all."
"Are you two done yet?" asked Heidi looking up.
"No, we could keep going really," smiled Megan.
"Well don't. I'm just taking notes from the Charms club."
"Well... that's not nearly as entertaining," said Shannon, slightly put out.
"That note to Will sounds like a good idea though."
"Urg, don't do it," said Shannon glumly.
"What? Why?" asked Heidi.
"It's just..." started Shannon before pausing to think of how to put it.
"What's wrong Shan?" asked Megan.
"We seem to be spending alot less time with each other. All of us. I may become a hypocrite tomorrow, but it's just that ... I'm glad we have these kinds of talks. Just us. No boyfriends, no outsiders, just us. You know the original five.
"We just seem to be loosing that. Now we have boyfriends, and clubs and sports. We are rarely just us anymore. I mean, back before these guys came it was us, not us plus Will, and Remus, and Snape, and Tag. I kind of miss those days, when boys had cooties, and we weren't concerned with them. I just miss it."
Silence met Shannon's little speech, nobody dared to move. Finally Heidi got up and pulled Shannon into a hug.
"It always has been us, and always will be us. We can't prevent change, you know that. But we are all still here right? We are best friends Shannon, and no one will change that. Sam broke up with Snape over that fact."
The other three girls got up and joined into the hug. "It is us hunny, at the end of the day. We are best friends, no mater how many times we fight. We're always here for each other, and we always will be," said Sam soothingly.
"Guys we're being really sentimental right now ... it's kind of scary," laughed Megan.
The girls broke up and started to laugh along with Megan.
"And people think we can't be serious! Ha!" laughed Julie.
"See, that's more proof! We are NEVER that whole 'feelings' type of people, but we really do open up 'round each other!" grinned Heidi.
"Hey, you're okay!" said Megan, noticing Julie for the first time.
"Yes, yes i am. But you OWE me, Docura! I took a Defense-book-bullet for you," said Julie, in mock-seriousness.
"Dang! Alright Walsh, but watch your back, i intend to put you into danger, just to get you out and call it even!"
"I look forward to that!" laughed Julie.
"How does this outfit look?" asked Sam, holding up a mini-halter top and short skirt.
"Four letters Sam. Starts with an S and ends with a T."
"Sweet? Thanks you guys! I don't know though, it's a bit revealing."
"Oh dear Merlin," gaped Julie. "You never learned to spell did you?"
"What?" asked Sam, "Sweet starts with an S and ends in a T, it has four letters."
"Sweet doesn't have four letters!" said Shannon in exasperation.
Sam counted on her fingers before turning red. "Then what word did you mea – HEY! That's not nice!"
"Clued in finally?" asked Julie.
"Yeah, whatever. So are we still on for drinks tomorrow?" asked Sam, looking in the mirror.
"You are the queen of vanity, you know that right? But, yeah, i'm still in for drinks," said Julie simply.
"So are we," said Megan, indicating the others.
"Ok good. Oh and I hope you guys wont be mad, but i sort of invited the Marauders too."
"What why?" asked Heidi.
"Good idea. They are better company for Remus ..." said Julie, trailing off.
"That makes, how many now?" asked Megan.
"The five of us, Tag, Snape, Will, Rick, Remus, Sirius, James, Peter, Kassie and Lily no doubt, that's it right?" listed off Shannon.
"Fifteen?! Wow, that's alot considering it started out as us five!" gaped Julie.
"We are just so popular we tripled in size!" grinned Heidi.
"Tomorrow is going to be so great!" sighed Sam, sitting on her bed.
-------
"IT'S SNOWING!" followed by a rush of icy cold wind woke four girls up the next morning.
"HEIDI! CLOSE THE WINDOW!" shrieked Sam.
"Come on guys! Get up! It's the first snowfall of the year!" grinned Heidi.
"Urg, what time IS it?" grumbled Julie.
"'Bout 8:30," replied Shannon, glancing at her clock.
"Exactly! Now get up, it's snowing, plus we have Hogsmeade trip today. You have to get ready."
Sam let out a yelp, pelted out of bed and dashed into the bathroom, franticly starting to get ready. The three others begrudgingly got out of their warm comfy beds and proceeded to get ready for their dates.
Sam was the first ready and out the door, only fifteen minutes later. She had said something at a very high speed about meeting Severus at 9:00 for their date.
Heidi was the next ready, as she was going to meet Will at quarter after. She waved goodbye to the others, promising to see them at 1 in the three broomsticks.
"What time are Tag and Rick coming?" Julie asked Megan.
"Were going to meet Tag in the common room around 10, then meet Rick in the great hall 'round quarter after," replied Megan as she combed her dark brown hair up into a loose ponytail.
"Good, so you're not in a rush either. Do you think we should calm Shannon down?" asked Julie, referring to her friend that was currently rushing around like there was no tomorrow.
"Naw, not yet. She's very entertaining this way," grinned Megan.
"Why IS she so frantic? You still have about an hour," asked Julie.
"Well, i sort of told her we were leaving in a few minutes. What I didn't say was that by few i meant 60."
"You really are evil," laughed Julie.
"But deliciously so," grinned Megan. "So when are you meeting Lupin?"
"Quarter to 10-ish," replied Julie, pulling a few stands of her dark brown hair down in front of her face as bangs.
"When was our last Hogsmeade trip?" asked Megan.
"Uhh, first week of November, I think."
"Oh yeah! We pushed Sam into that pile of leaves. Remember how mad she was, 'cuz we messed up her newest hair style?" laughed Megan.
"Oh god, I thought she would NEVER talk to us again!" laughed Julie.
"What are you two laughing at? Do I look okay?" asked Shannon, running up to them.
"Calm down Shan! You usually NEVER freak out this much!" scolded Julie.
"I know, I know! But were about to go and i'm only slightly ready!"
"Actually you have a good 45 minutes," said Julie, before being hit in the arm by Megan.
"What! Megz, i'm going to kill you!" growled Shannon.
"But that takes away from the time you could use to get ready!" smiled Megan.
"Oh shut up!" growled Shannon, picking up her hair brush.
-------
Heidi walked down the staircase that led into the entrance hall. She spotted Will leaning against the wall near the doors. She descended the last few steps and walked up to him, as he met her half way.
Will enveloped her into a long, sweet kiss.
"Ready to go love?" he asked her huskily. He took her hand in his and led her out the doors.
--------
Sam sped down the corridor towards the great hall so fast that she didn't even notice the many first she knocked over on her way.
At five minutes to nine she came to a halt outside the big old doors that keep the great hall beyond.
"Nice to see you made it without to much fuss," Severus said smiling bringing her hand up to kiss it.
Sam pushed a couple of strands of hair oof her face and flushed.
"Sorry about that," She replied before she leant up to kiss him softly.
"Shall we head off then? Where would you like to go today, madam?" he flashed a smile at her.
"Well, Heidi, Julie and the rest of the girls are all meeting in the Three Broomsticks at 1pm for drinks. They asked us to attend as it is like a group date thing. I realise this is our first official date outside of school Bu–"
She was cut off as Severus placed his lips upon hers.
"MMMMmmmmm. I like it when you kiss me, Sev," She grinned back.
"Anything for you my sweet they are your friends and I shall be the perfect gentleman," He took her hand in his again.
"One thing Sev. Not just the girls will be there," she stared at the ground.
"Oh, really, and who else may be gracing us with there presence today?" he glared at her.
"Well considering Julie is Dating Remus, we all thought it might be nice if some of Remus' mates came along too. You know James and Sirius and their girlfriends," she said this all very fast and still staring at the ground.
"Oh, no, tell me you didn't invite the Dunderheads, Black and Potter. Tell me, please, Sam, you didn't did you?"
"I'm sorry, Sev, but we are all friends, please, and they gave me their word to be perfect gentleman if you were to be one too. I know you can please?"
Sam looked up into his eyes and he saw her emotion in them.
"Ok, but if they try anything, I can hex the living crap out of them right?" he asked
"Right," She said kissing him on the cheek. "Love you, Sev," Sam said slipping her hand into his again.
"I love you too, Sam," He said as they started to walk towards the gates.
