The next day, the marauders have gone their separate ways. Young Sirius Black stayed beneath the beech tree that the Marauders always stayed under. He looked at around to see if there were any changes in the school.

"Woah! Hogwarts hasn't changed at all!" he said surprised.

He wasn't the only one looking around the school, though. Professor McGonagall just passed by a window and saw Sirius's horrifyingly familiar face. But then, she just thought she did.

Just then, he spotted Hermione and Draco walking together and holding hands. However, they didn't seem to notice him, so they just walked on, unaware that they are being watched.

Draco takes his chance to beg for Hermione's forgiveness about last night through his dramatic words. "Hermione, I'm so sorry about last night... about what happened..." he said over dramitically.

"It's okay, I just hope it didn't have to end so soon." said Hermione keeping up with Draco's drama.

"Ya, me too..."

Hermione rested her head on Draco's shoulder and asked, "So what happened to Pansy when you dumped her on your first date?"

Draco grinned, remember the enjoyable event he witnessed before. "She was devastated! Shrieked in front of everyone in the common room."

"Oh well..."

The two continued walking until they reached the beech tree where Sirius was sitting under.

"Shoot!" said Draco.

Hermione took her head off Draco's shoulder at once.

Sirius was amused by the pair. So he decided to annoy them. "Well, well, well, what a sweet, melancholic love story... But wait! Is that filthy Slytherin you're with?"

Draco was insulted. How dare he, an unknown schoolboy insult THE Draco Malfoy! "You watch who you're calling filthy! You haven't even looked at yourself! So watch it!"

"Or what? Going to tell everyone that I was snooping on you? And then when they ask you you were with, what would you tell them? That you were with a Gryffindor?" he asked, but then added, "or better yet, a MUDBLOOD?"

Sirius grinned. He knew that Malfoy wouldn't be able to think of a good enough comeback for what he had just said.

"It's not like that... really..." Hermione tried to say.

"Then what was it?"

"Bye!" Draco said, leading Hermione back to the castle.
