Chapter 15: Finals and a Party

"Finals are going to kill us." Faith grumbled at the teacher's table.

"What are you talking about?" Sarah asked in her accent which was still as thick as ever.

"I thought it was bad when I was taking them but…having to give them…that's the real challenge." Faith explained.

"Again…What are you talking about? It's very clear exactly what you have to test them on." Sarah asked with a confused look.

"Maybe for you it is. Are we forgetting the Dark Arts Curse? I don't think there has ever been a teacher for that class for two years in a row. It's impossible to know what they actually have learned over those past years…and in all truth…I've only taught them one thing…it was that other guy who taught them in the beginning. Now he's dead. Basta-" Faith started but was interrupted by Remus who grunted and gave her a look.

"Faith! Why don't you do anything ahead of time?!" Sarah scolded.

"What did you teach them?" Remus asked.

"That Patronus charm. Harry already knew it." Faith said shrugging.

"I could help you with it later." Remus said as he nibbled on a bit of toast.

"Ok." Faith said with a bright smile as she bit into a crumpet (Yumm….crumpets)

"We have only one more visit to Hogsmede before Christmas and I have so much to buy!" Hermione exclaimed as she hurriedly shoved oatmeal into her mouth.

"Wait…theres Harry…and me…who else do you know?" Ron asked.

"Well. I thought I get Mrs. Weasley a gift since she's always giving us stuff. I need to make more hats and socks for the house elves. Think of how many there are! Theres also the entire Order to think about." Hermione said pointing at Ron with her spoon.

"The Order?! We're not even in the Order. Why should we get them anything when they tell us nothing?!" Ron asked bewildered.

"Because. They are fighting against Voldemort and they deserve something. Hmm…I wonder if Professor Lupin is in the Order." Hermione said thoughtfully as she shoveled more oatmeal into her mouth.

"Of course he is. You already know that!" Ron said as if Hermione was completely stupid.

"Not Him! MRS. Lupin, of course!" Hermione said rolling her eyes. As she said this, Sarah and Remus both rose from the table and exited the Great Hall with hands tightly clasped together, giving each other loving stares.

"I would assume so…How come Remus never told us he had a wife? I mean you think that would come up somewhere. But never even mentioned her." Ron commented.

"He thought she was dead." Harry replied.

"How do you know?" Hermione asked. Harry explained about over-hearing Faith and Remus when he had told her that Sirius was dead and Remus had found out Sarah wasn't.

"So…were Faith and Sirius…you know?" Ron asked.

"I think they were…I don't know exactly though." Harry said.

"Well she does have that ring." Hermione put in.

"Yeah…but that could be any old ring." Ron said.

"I don't know…she seems pretty attached to it." Hermione said.

"Whatever." Ron grumbled.

"Sarah!" Faith hollered as she walked into Sarah's classroom after her last class left.

"Did you know that Dumbeldore has us planning a Christmas Dance?" Faith asked crossing her arms over her chest.

"Yes actually I did." Sarah said putting several books into a bag.

"Well, did you also know that today is December 14? That gives us 11 days to plan this thing." Faith said.

"Correction. That gives you 11 days. I am going away with Remus after the finals tomorrow…so therefore I won't be here…not until Christmas at least…so realistically…I only have one day to plan with you." Sarah said with a smirk.

"Are you serious?" Faith asked in a low voice.

"So Serious." Sarah said walking out of the room. Faith just shook her head, silently fuming and wishing she didn't have to plan this dance.

"McGonagall! Would you like to do me a huge favor?" Faith asked McGonagall as she passed her in the hall. Faith gave her best smile.

"If your asking me to help you with the dance…No." McGonagall said with a knowing smile. Faith narrowed her eyes and spun on her heel. Determined to find someone that would help her get out of this.

"Serverus-" Faith said with a smile as she burst into the Potions classroom.

"No." Serverus said flatly.

"How do you know what I'm going to ask?" Faith asked.

"You forget that I've known you since we were 11. You wanted to ask me to help you with the dance did you not?" He asked with a slight smile. Faith opened and closed her mouth.

"Well what am I supposed to do?" Faith asked.

"Plan the dance I suppose." Serverus said with a chuckle as Faith shot him a dirty look.

"Oh…I'll get you…be sure of that." Faith said pointing her finger at Serverus and backing up out of the room. Serverus just chuckled.

(A/N: I plan on putting out two chapters for Christmas Eve. Maybe three if you're lucky. If I do though…I expect a nice long review…or three reviews for each chapter…whatever. I'm evil like that. Hmmm…Faith/Serverus…seems a few of you would like to see a small romance with them….hmmmm. Tell me what you think of the pictures.)
