Christine bolted towards the great hall, looking around every hallway she passed for any sign of her sister. She need to get to Ashley, and she needed to get to her fast, before her big mouth could spill anything. She finally came up to the front of the Great Hall, calming herself before opening the doors and peeking in. She searched the Ravenclaw table up and down about three times before her eyes finally rested on her sister. Taking in a deep breath, she walked through the doors and strode towards her sister, who, thankfully, was sitting by herself. It seems none of her friends were morning people. She slowly walked up to her sister and took a seat.

Ashley hardly looked up from her plate as she regarded her sister in an icy tone, "What do you want?"

Christine shut her eyes momentarily, doing her best to keep her calm, "I heard you had a little run in with Lucius this morning. Didn't want you to go blabbing false information to anyone."

Ashley smirked as she took a drink of pumpkin juice, "Oh yes, that. I wonder what Jordan would do to you if he heard what you and Severus had been up to last night."

'1..2..3..4..5..6..7..8..9..10..ok didn't help.

Christine could tell this wasn't going anywhere. She groaned inwardly as she figured out what exactly she had to do. She forced her face to form a derisive smile, "Honestly, do you think I would stoop so low as to actually sleep with Severus? Come on Ashley, I thought you knew me better than that. Do you honestly want to know what happened last night?" Ashley raised her eyebrow in silent conformation, "I was out with him all last night doing homework. Well, he was doing my homework. That's all that slime ball is worth. Honestly Ashley, do you think I would let him touch me?"

Ashley laughed, Christine had done her best to appeal to her sisters, well, not so nice side, and hopefully it had worked. She watched as her sister curved her lip into a mocking grin, "Seems you might be right, I know better than to listen to Lucius, especially when he's on one of his 'jealous rages' though why he would want you enough to be jealous of you is beyond me."

Christine just rolled her eyes and grabbed some muffins from her sister's plate and walked out of the hall straight towards the library. Classes would start in about an hour but she didn't feel like waiting in the History of Magic classroom, it always felt so gloomy there, and Professor Binns didn't help matters either. Every day he came into class looking more and more like the living dead, some of the boys had even taken up bets on when he would keel over. Shrugging to herself, she walked towards her most cherished spot in Hogwarts. It was almost completely hidden from view, near the restricted section, sat a couch, almost always covered with a thin layer of dust. Christine smiled as she muttered a cleaning charm and sank into the couch, pulling out the book she had been reading on the train.

She hadn't had the time to read any of her muggle books since she had gotten off the train. She began to read, immersed in the world of J.R.R. Tolkien, when she heard the bell ring, telling her that she needed to hurry her toushie off to class before she was late. She hastily grabbed her book and shoved it into her bag and ran out of the library, not caring that she had practically run over three first years in the process. It took her two minutes to work her way up to the class, when normally it would take five, but when she entered; she saw that it was nearly empty. Three Ravenclaw were there, parchment out and quills ready, but so far that was it.

'Well, maybe I'm not as late as I thought, most people are probably sleeping through this class, and it is first thing in the morning after all.

Christine walked towards the back corner desk, threw her pack on the desk and sat down. She watched as the rest of the class walked in, heads drooping slightly, looking less than happy to start the day, when Severus entered and walked over to her desk, his head down. He slammed his pack down on the desk and sat down next to her, obviously not in the best of moods.

Christine watched in slight amusement as he grumpily pulled out parchment and a quill, "Not in the best of moods today?"

Severus just shot her a look that would curdle milk, "I guess I'll take that as a yes then."

Sighing to herself, Christine started to listen to the lecture currently going on. About 15 minutes in, Christine had gotten most of what they were covering today and decided instead to pull out her book, as she was feeling less than sleepy at the moment.

Severus had giving up listening to the lecture and chanced a glance over to Christine. She was reading and from what he saw, was very interested in it. Bored out of his mind, Severus put down his quill and turned to Christine.

"What are you reading?"

Her eyes never left the page as she answered, "Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers."

"Oh, ok." Christine kept reading her book and Severus did his best not to fidget around. "So, is it any good?"

"No, it sucks, that's why I keep reading it."

"Well someone's in a bad mood this morning. Did mother nature rear her ugly head this morning?"

Christine rolled her eyes and bit back a response. She just wanted to get through her book; she was dying to know what was going to happen next.

Severus groaned he was trying to get a reaction out of her; this class was so boring, especially now that there was someone to actually talk to. But, alas, she was reading. Sighing to himself, he pulled out his own book, The Hobbit. It had been one of the books Christine had gotten him during their track to the muggle bookstore. He hadn't had the time to read it until now, so he pulled it out and opened to the first page.
In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry , bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort...

Christine could feel Severus stirring beside her, rummaging through his bags for something. She looked back at her book and continued reading; however, once she felt him begin to settle, she looked over at him. He had pulled out a book apparently, though she didn't know what. She took another quick glance over and found that it was The Hobbit, one of the books that she had gotten him at the bookstore. Her heart swelled at the thought that he had actually brought it around in his bag and she went back to her own book, a wide smile gracing her face.

Finally, the bell for the end of class sounded and Christine bolted up out of her seat, trying to get out of that god forsaken class as fast as she could.

'How that man can make one of the most interesting revolutions in history about as interesting as toothpaste, is beyond me.'

Christine raced her way up through the stairs, doing her best to get to Charms in five minutes, a difficult task when you're going against the sea of people coming out of class.

'Its times like these, I wish I had a time turner!'

Finally after almost falling to the floor twice, being pushed into the wall five times, and having her chest elbowed so much she swore they would swell another cup size, she grabbed her wand and pointed it at the sea of people, 'Sulum Congelo!' Suddenly a forest green flash of light shot out of her wand, freezing everyone in the hallway. Still grasping her wand, she picked her way through the mass of frozen people. Once at the end of the hall, she waved her wand, and everyone came back to life as she made her way into the classroom.

Christine sat herself down at a table near the back, thanking god that Severus had Care of Magical Creatures this period. She watched as people filled in, each ignoring her and moving on to their own tables. Christine kept her eye on the door, waiting for the Marauders to walk in, and, soon enough, once everyone else was seated, Sirius and James walked over to an empty table, while Peter sat by some poor ravenclaw girl, leaving Remus to take the only unoccupied seat in the classroom next to Christine. She faked annoyance as he put his bag down onto the table and brought out his book and parchment. Professor Flitwick calmed the class and told them to put away their wands, today would be a strict lecture. The students groaned as they put away their wands, as Christine let out a sigh of relief, it would be much easier to talk to Remus and the others if they were just taking notes.

She took out her quill and the other part of parchment she had given to Sirius and looked over at Lupin, scribbling on his paper. "Hey, Remus, motion for Siri to get out that piece of parchment I gave him earlier.

(Remus)"Sure Chris, one moment."

Remus looked towards Sirius and slightly held up a piece of parchment, gesturing him to get out a piece. Sirius looked back confused, lifting up his own piece of parchment. Remus shook his head and gestured towards Christine and then back toward the piece of parchment, trying to be as discrete as possible. Sirius continued to look bewildered. Remus finally tried to mouth the words to Sirius, and after two painstaking minutes, Sirius finally got the message and pulled out the parchment. Christine saw this and pulled out her own piece. She got her quill and began to write.

(Christine)"Hey, Sirius, glad you finally caught on."

(Sirius)"Hey, don't blame me if Remus isn't any good at sign language."

(Remus)"I hardly think that was necessary Padfoot, besides, it's not my fault things don't click with you as easy."

(James)"Hey ya'll, what's going on?"

(Christine)"Hey James, how is it going?"

(James)"Oh, everything is great as of now, though, I must say, Padfoot has extremely bad breath this morning, kind of getting green in the face over here."

(Sirius)"Oh great, what is it, 'Make Fun of Padfoot Day?' or something?"

(James)"Oh come on Padfoot, you know it's all in fun right?"

(Christine)"Besides Siri, you're just as bad as them."

(Sirius)"Oh sure Chris, when have I ever made fun of you?"

(Remus)"Do you actually want her to answer that?"

(Sirius)"Yes I do actually."

(James)"Oy, we could be here all day, and do you have enough parchment for that Christine?"

(Christine)"Well, Lets see, there was that time when we were three and you called me a freckle faced fat head, now that was original, then there was the time when we were seven and I had gotten a bad sun burn and you said I looked like a tomato that would burst any moment and then spent the rest of the day poking me to see if I would pop, oh then there was the time that my brothers gave me the magical haircut and you spent two straight hours laughing, then of course, you forgot about every time you say that all Slytherens are the scum of the earth, then there was the time when I got hit in the head with a bludger that you sent at me, then kept using me as a hat rack cause of my bump...need I go on?

(Sirius) "Ok Ok you win!"

(Remus)"So, Chris, how did you get the parchment to do this? Its ingenious!"

(Christine)"Pretty simple really, just a charm and a potion."

(James)"Brilliant, think you could show us sometime?"

(Christine)"I'm not to sure about that James, the potion is pretty complicated, and frankly, you three are just horrible."

(Sirius) "Says the future potions mistress."

Christine rolled her eyes and turned towards Professor Flitwick. Apparently he was lecturing on some of the most misused charms in the wizarding world. Christine decided to go back to writing notes, she could just as easily check out a book in the library to make up for missing the lecture.

(Remus)"So, Chris, anything else this parchment can do?"

(Christine)"Yep, it can erase itself, just take your wand and tap it twice in the middle of the parchment and it all goes away."

(Sirius) "Really!"

(Christine)"Yeah Siri, try if you like."

(James) "You really shouldn't have told him that, you know how easily amused he is!"

(Remus)"Well, that should keep him occupied for a moment, at least until James finally gets fed up that is."

(Christine)"Yep, aren't I just a genius?"

(Remus)"It's times like these, it's easy to understand how you got into Slytherin."

(Christine)"Why thank you kind sir. Anyway, while Padfoot and Prongs are otherwise occupied, I was wondering if you wanted to meet me in the Room of Requirement tomorrow night after dinner. I kind of want to talk to you about something."

(Remus)"Sure Chris, no problem."

(James)"Oy, finally, he's given up. What were you two saying? I couldn't catch a thing. Every time something would appear, dear old Padfoot found it necessary to erase it."

(Remus)"Nothing of real importance, just wondering when you would get frustrated enough to the point that your head would blow up."

(Christine)"Well hey you three, class is almost over and I want to take a few notes. Siri and James just tear the piece of parchment in two and take one for yourselves, that way if ya'll want, you can talk in separate classes, ill do the same with Remus."

Christine grabbed the piece of parchment and tore it in half as quietly as she could and handed part to Remus. She then grabbed out another piece of parchment and took notes on what was on the board, doing her best to look attentive.

The rest of the day passed by relatively well, though she was bogged down by an incredible amount of homework, Christine trudged back into her new dorm room, shutting herself in her bed until it was all done, even though Severus and Lucius kept trying to talk to her. She just shooed them away as best she could and returned to her work. By the time she had finished, it was one in the morning. Quickly, she put her school books away and changed her clothes and got into bed, wanting nothing more than a peaceful nights sleep. However, that was the last thing Christine was going to get.
