Potions, Ebony had to say, was one of the most difficult classes. Everything in the class had to be exact, or else the results could be a catastrophe. Ebony sat down next to a Ravenclaw near the front of the room. Idly, she doodled on a piece of spare parchment, waiting for the class, and teacher to come in.
Remus, Sirius, James, and Peter walked into the room, almost silently. It was amazing not to hear the talking, since usually that is all they ever did. James and Sirius took the desks behind ebony, and Remus and Peter took the one infront of her. As the rest of the few students left took theit seats, the Potions Master came into the room.
"Today class, we'll be learning about the Polyjuice Potion. In fact, we'll be making it through out the month. Now, can anyone besides Severus tell me what the Polyjuice Potion is?"
And so, the class commenced, but Ebony was barely paying attention. She knew what the Polyjuice Potion was and its main ingredients. The whole class, she thought, was just a bit of filler until they could get started on making the actual potion. Plus, the class was just filler until she could talk to Remus again.
Through the whole Potions class, Remus was given smiling grins from his friends who surely, wern't acting like his friends right now. Peter decided to talk his friend into talking to Ebony while he, James, and Sirius were still in earshot. Remus ignored them, but thought Ebony would be upset because he had not even said hello. If they did not give it up soon, he had on idea what he would do.
Peter continued to bother him, urging him to say something to Ebony through the whole potions class and as he left, trying to get away from them. It was hard to ignore you friends, especially your only friends. He sometimes looked behind him to find them there, but never held a gaze with a face.
Later on, Remus walked into the Library, he had lost James, Sirius, and Peter in the hallway. They normally wanted to spend their break out under their usual tree anyway. He looked for Ebony through the many bookshelves.
