Chapter 5
By Majhica Santose
It was the middle of October…and the Marauders and the girls were getting ready for their first class of the day…Potions.
"Oh yay…" said Maj sarcastically. James asked,
"Why so glum about it? You're an amazing potion maker!" Maj answered,
"Yea, but I hate it! And Slughorn's a little creepy…I guess I miss Professor Montoya. That was my Potions teacher in Brazil."
"You miss Brazil? Do you want to go home?" Sirius said a touch of hurt in his voice. Maj figured it a sympathy act, and answered,
"Yea I miss it, but I like it here in the U.K. It's a lot cooler here, and you have more alcohol! What about you Pence? Do you want to go home?" Pence answered,
"No way. I really like it here." Maj thought she saw Pence glance at Remus. Sirius asked the two girls,
"What do you miss most?"
"I miss nothing in particular…" Pence shrugged. But Maj said,
" The parties!" Sirius remembered something she said earlier that year. 'This is like the parties we sneak to Rio for!' Sirius following a hunch said,
"What will you miss most when you leave though?" Pence said,
"Honestly? You guys…I've never had friends this close before. I tend to…um…scare people off…" Maj looked at the floor as Sirius asked her,
"Maj, what about you?"
"What? Oh! Slughorn!" She said chuckling. James, Remus, Peter, and Pence all started laughing, but Sirius and Maj just looked at each other. That's when Sirius knew Maj remembered what happened in the Astronomy Tower after their 'tour'.
"You know I'll miss you guys."
When the six got in the classroom, they took their usual seats. Maj, James, and Sirius at one table; Pence, Remus, Peter next to them.
"Hey Maj!" said Sirius about half way through the lesson, as he reached for James's knife; his lips met hers briefly. When he pulled away he saw that no one seemed to notice. When he turned to Maj, she was looking at the floor again, her cheeks as red as the Gryffindor tie around her neck. The pair turned back to their potions, Maj careful not to meet Sirius eyes.
Remus and Pence had started talking. Remus said,
"So…I'm not hurting you too bad am I?" Pence was shocked until she realized he was talking about during the full moon.
"Oh…no, I'm fine. I'm used to the cuts…" Pence said quietly, "So, er…Sirius told me you haven't had a girlfriend your entire time at Hogwarts…why?" Remus looked at her and blinked, before blushing and said,
"I'm waiting for a person that I can share my secret with…that I can trust you know?"
"Er, why don't you date Sirius then? Hehe…he…" She turned her head away and winced.
"Well, I…er...think I have, um…someone, um…better?" said Remus as he placed his hand on hers.
