It's Just You're Subconscious


Chapter Four: Discussing Match Making

Kat and Sienna made their way to Transfiguration, the whole way, pointing out boys, that they either found attractive or just plain annoying. Kat London was a girl from Slytherin, and most of the Slytherin's were very rude to people, and were mostly purebloods, although there were some that weren't.

When you heard the name, "Slytherin" you most likely would have thought of dark, mean, and cruel people, and purebloods. Although, like any race, religion or anything, they had their cliché's, and stereotypes, both you and I know, not all of them are like that, or I shall assume you know. Although Slytherin's like Severus Snape are mean, I am sure, in his subconscious, he wishes to be excepted by, all the other houses, however, this is how I see it, you however; may think he's an ignorant prat.

Kat London had no friends in Slytherin, the girls she shared a dorm with, were cruel, so Kat kept to herself, so to find Sienna who didn't flinch at her, well, it brought joy to Kat. Kat was from a long line of Purebloods, it was a small Wizarding family, the London's distant relatives of the Smith-London's, both may have been relatives, but they were completely different.

The Smith-London's were completely and utterly cruel, and needless to say, they think Lord Voldemort has his head screwed on right, to get rid of Muggles, Muggle-Borns, Half-Bloods, and anyone that isn't pureblood.

I know, and I suspect you know, that this is stupid, because if my memory serves me correct, Voldemort is Half-Blood, so it's quite preposterous, wouldn't they have to get rid of him too? Anyway, the London's are purebloods, but very nice, and are against Lord Voldemort, which is why Kat, doesn't get along with most of her relatives, it's an ongoing war between relatives.

Even so, she is plainly pretty, blonde hair, and green eyes, with small freckles across her face, which is weird, because most of the time it's redheads that have the freckles. Sienna and Kat walked into Transfiguration to see the classroom in an uproar.

Obviously McGonagall hadn't gotten there yet, the desks were pulled apart, so there was a huge walkway, and in the middle stood Sirius Black and James Potter, dueling with their school Quills, both had excitement written across their faces.

Kat and Sienna giggled, Ana and Lily, who had been previously watching them, with a mixture of amusement and annoyance, turned around, Ana seemed a little annoyed at seeing Kat, although Lily smiled.

"Who are you?" She asked, happily.

"Oh," Sienna said, remembering, Ana and Lily hadn't met her before, she realized why Ana seemed annoyed, she wasn't fond of Slytherin's, "This is Kat London," she began, "I met her in Divination, she's real nice." Sienna finished, casting a glance at Ana, who shrugged.

Lily stuck her hand out, "Lily Evans." Lily said, shaking it, Kat nodded smiling widely, at Lily, but it was often hard not to smile around Lily Evans, she had a bright demeanor, and could usually make the most unhappy person smile; but that was her gift, and Sienna was much thankful for it, at times.

Ana smiled weakly, "Anne Marie Travers," she said, shaking her hand, Sienna had told Kat previously that Ana had a bad image of Slytherin's and it could take time, Sienna walked over and sat down next to Ana, and Kat on the other side, of Ana, Lily was next to Sienna.

"Mr. Potter and Mr. Black, what on earth are you doing?" A harsh voice demanded, they all turned around to see Professor McGonagall glaring at the two boys, "Detention in my office tonight seven pm; and don't be late!" She scolded, "I would have expected better, you being Head Boy!" She then rounded on Lily, "And you Ms. Evans, you just sat there and watched it, I would have expected you to have handled it by now, you are Head Girl!" She glared.

Lily nodded and glared at James, who looked down and scratched the back of his head sheepishly, Sienna smirked she had never seen James so shy before. The desks were pulled back, in their right order, and everyone settled down, Professor McGonagall got up to her desk, her lips in a thin line, which usually happened when she was upset.

"We will be going over basic things you learned in first year, after that, all the people that are taking my extra glass on Animagi, I want you to meet me in this classroom at 9 P.M tonight." She stated calmly. Sienna wrote the time down on a piece of paper and stuck it in her robes, for safe keeping.

Just as McGonagall had said, they went over things they learned in the First Year, how to transfigure an object into something else, simple stuff like that, which almost everyone if not everyone were able to do.

After class, McGonagall rose, "Now, this is you're 7th and final year, here at Hogwarts. It will be sad to see some of you go, if you think 6th year was hard, this will be harder. You're going to be taking you're N.E.W.T's. These will determine what kind of jobs you will have, and if you get the job you're aiming for. As far as, an Auror, after you pass the N.E.W.T's test, there are three years of training, for others, you'll be thrown right into you're job. So work hard this year, because even though the other years counted, this counts a lot, you're excused." She said sitting back down, this for some reason made Sienna nervous. What if she didn't pass her tests?

The next class was Defense Against the Dark Arts, which Sienna enjoyed; it seemed to come easy to her, the walk was a little long, due to the Transfiguration Classroom was a ways away from it.

"Oh, I forgot my books in McGonagall's room, go ahead without me." Lily said, waving, and turning down the hall.

Ana sighed, "We need to discuss getting Lily and James together." She said making sure Lily was out of an earshot.

Kat looked at Sienna and Ana perplexed, "Lily and James like each other, yet, they won't admit it, so we're going to do a little Match Making." Ana clarified, smiling a bit.

"Oh!" Kat said realization dawning on her face, "Okay, do you have anything in mind?" She asked.

"Well," Sienna began, "Not really, our friends, Remus and Sirius are in on it too. We only decided to do this yesterday, and we haven't gotten a chance away from Lily to talk about it." Sienna replied.

"I say we lock them in a broom closet." A male voice said, they turned around to see Remus and Sirius behind them, Sirius was smirking, "Naked." He finished.

Ana rolled her eyes, "No you buffoon!" She said rolling her eyes, "You are seriously demented!" She huffed.

Sienna sniggered, "Sirius, Remus, this is Kat, Kat, this is Sirius and Remus." She said smiling, Remus nodded and smiled.

Sirius, Sirius had to be stupid, he walked over, put his one hand behind his back, took Kat's hand, bent down and placed a kiss on her hand, "Nice to meet you milady." He said smiling charmingly.

Ana huffed, and walked ahead, Sirius stood up, "Ana!" He said calling after her, "I was just being polite!" He said.

Remus rolled his eyes, "They fight constantly, and remind me again why Ana likes him?" He said stating the obvious.

"Because," Sienna said holding an index finger up, "She's just like him!" She said, bursting out into laughter, "Don't tell her I said that, I don't want to have to sleep with one eye open," she said, and then added thoughtfully, "Maybe it would be safe to keep them closed, she'd gouge them out otherwise."

Remus' eyes got wide, "Violent one isn't she?" He asked.

"Sort of, just be nice to her; occasionally give her chocolate, a good amount of Sirius, and a little bit of sarcasm throw in some emotions if preferred, stir and viola! You have an Anne Marie." Sienna said grinning.

Remus laughed along with her, they caught up to Sirius and Ana who were still fighting, "I thought we were going to discuss Match Making?" Kat asked amused.

"Nah, Sirius and Ana are probably going to fight till class." Sienna stated, smirking slightly.

"I heard that!" Ana screamed, turning around, "We do not fight all the time, and we won't fight till class." She said, turning around, smacking Sirius, just outside the classroom door.

Sienna went to open her mouth when Ana said, "Oh shut up." Ana said, knowing what Sienna was about to say, they walked into class, and took their seats, Ana, Kat, and Remus at one table, James, Sirius and Lily at another.

Lily had just walked in and took a seat. She looked at James with some distaste, James only looked ahead, which was weird; he was always so bold with her. She seemed a little bothered he didn't look at her, Kat smirked, "Their smitten." She said.

Ana grinned, "I know, it's just getting them to admit it." She said Sienna nodded in agreement, as Professor Zeller walked in, telling everyone to quiet down. She like McGonagall went over, the basics, they had been told, that this year, there would be a few new things along with some old stuff, to keep it fresh in the mind.

Sienna felt another wad of paper hit her head, she looked over to see Sirius grinning, she rolled her eyes and grabbed the paper.

Sienna-

Does Ana like me?

Sienna raised an eyebrow, she looked over at him, and he had pleading puppy-dog eyes, she rolled her eyes, "What's that?" Ana asked, looking over, from her notes.

"Er… nothing…" Sienna said, pulling the note away from Ana's reach, she'd answer it on her own, without actually answering the question, she pulled some paper out of her notebook, and quickly wrote down a note, and she balled it up and threw it at Sirius who caught it perfectly.

He opened it up and frowned.

Sirius-

She doesn't like you half as well as she should like; and she likes you half as well as you as you deserve.

Sienna smirked remembered reading something like that in, "The Lord of The Rings: The Fellowship of The Ring." It seemed like the perfect answer, he looked up and glared at her for a moment, he then took some paper from his notebook, and started to write down another note he balled it up, and threw it at her, she caught it for once.

Sienna-

What. The. Hell. Just answer the question, please.

Sienna smirked at the message, she quickly jotted down another note, and threw it to him he caught it, giving her a weary look, as he opened it.

Sirius-

Now that would be no fun at all for me, just to give you a straight answer now would it? Find out for yourself, look, in October we know 7th years have a Halloween ball, why don't you ask her to it?

Sirius stared at the note for a few moments, he looked up at Sienna who was staring at him, and she shrugged and gave him a reassuring smile, before starting to take her notes, "What was that all about?" Ana asked, looking at Sienna.

"Nothing, just Sirius and I bullshitting." Sienna replied, writing her notes down quickly avoiding Ana's gaze.

"Right, you love Defense Against the Dark Arts; you don't bullshit with him or anyone; in this class Sienna." Ana said looking at her, "What was Sirius saying?"

"Um, he wanted uh… he wanted my notes." Sienna lied.

Ana looked at her for a moment with a raised eyebrow, "Right, you do know you're a terrible liar right?"

Sienna only shrugged and continued taking notes, and it went until supper, where Kat was complaining about her butt "Damn… it hurts." She muttered, rubbing it.

Lily smirked, "Maybe bring a pillow with you next time to sit on." She answered.

Sienna shrugged, "I know, mine always hurts too, those chairs are hard!" She whined, taking a seat, at the Gryffindor table for supper.

Ana nodded as dinner appeared, they all dug in, Sienna looked over to see Remus, looking at a book while eating.

She rolled her eyes, "Remus, you're reading and eating? You're a bookworm." She said grinning, taking a bite of her corn on the cob.

Remus huffed, "I am not!"

"Are too." Sienna said, swallowing her mouth full of corn, and potatoes.

"I am not!" Remus argued.

"You so are Remus, although," She said, a thought popping into her head, "I bet I could kick you're butt at checkers, chess is too confusing, we should play checkers after supper." Sienna commented.

"Checkers is simple, I'm not sure it'd be fair that I play against you, it's a sure bet I'd win." He said.

Sienna smirked, "Wanna put you're money, where you're mouth is?" She asked grinning she and Remus were competitive with each other, constantly trying to out do the other, and making bets.

"Five Sickles." Remus said, his smirk, growing wider, and wider, although Sienna couldn't help but think, he looked good with a smirk.

Sienna and Remus shook hands, "We have an accord." She said, turning back to her food, she looked to the right of her and saw Ana smirking, she knew that smirk, it was stupid all knowing smirk, the smirk where Ana thought or had things figured out, "Shut up, Annie." She said.

Ana frowned, "Don't ever call me that again, it sounds so…ew." Ana said frowning at Sienna who smiled.

"I know that's why I called you it." She said, finishing up, everyone filed to their house's common rooms, as Lily turned to them, "James and I have a Head Boy and Girl meeting followed by a patrol of the halls, so by the time I get back, you will all be in bed." She said, smiling.

"Oh, okay. Well, see you later then Lily." Sienna and Ana said, Remus, Sirius, Peter and the girls walked to their dorms, saying goodbye to Kat, who made her way to Slytherin, they found the Fat Lady and told her the password, and walked into the room.

"Match Making," Ana said, "It's the perfect time, Lily and James aren't here." She said, rubbing her hands together in excitement.

"I still say, we lock them in the broom closet, naked." Sirius said, throwing himself down on the couch.

Ana walked over, and pushed his feet down, and sat next to him, "Black, how would you like it, if someone locked in a broom closet naked?" She asked.

"I'd probably be happy." He said, with a raised eyebrow, laying his feet on her lap, wiggling his eyebrows, his arm was resting on the back of the couch, his head lay on the armrest of the couch.

Ana scowled, "Do you only think about sex, Sir-Black?" She asked, it was her own weird rule, that since she 'supposedly' hated him, she could only call him by his last name, not his first.

"Sir Black? Wow, now I'm a Sir to you, well, Ms. Ana, I don't always think about Sex, I think about Snogging, pranks, snogging, candy, snogging, you, sex, sex, frolicking through a field of daises and of course snogging." He said.

Sienna lost it, "Frolicking through a field of daisies? Are you insane?" She said laughing a little at the absurdness of it all, "At least you're confident in yourself." She said.

Ana was just staring at him, "Loser." She said smirking, at him, she took his shoes off, and was going to tickle his feet, she looked down, "Black, it's called, laundry, clean you're socks." She said curling her nose and throwing his feet off.

He scowled and threw a pillow at her, "Are we going to discuss match making or not?" He asked.

"Sure," Remus said, "I say we set them up on blind dates." He said.

Sienna smiled knowing what he was thinking, "Yeah, like tell Lily there's this guy we know, and we've set them up, when in reality it's James!" She said happily.

Ana turned around and smiled, "Yeah! Sirius and Remus can tell James, they've set him up with some chick!" She said happily.

Sirius pouted, "I liked the broom closet idea!" He whined, sitting up, and pouting at Ana, who made a decision not too look at him, or she'd give in.

Sienna rolled her eyes, "Get you're mind out of the gutter, we're not doing the broom closet idea, do you know how embarrassing that would be, not to mention, how the hell we would get them out of their clothes; and to the broom closet un-noticed." She said. "Not to mention, getting Lily and James to strip." She finished.

Remus laughed, "Besides Padfoot," he began, "Lily would kill you, that is, if she got to you before James, James, I'm not sure what he would do, but, I can't say it would be good." He commented.

Ana smirked at Sirius's scowl, "Aw, why so serious Sirius?" She asked, grinning at the name pun, she had fun with his name puns.

He growled, "Stop with the name pun thing!" He said grabbing a pillow and throwing it at her, he missed and hit Sienna.

She scowled, "Hey!" She said, picking it up and throwing it at him, hitting Ana in the back of the head, Ana turned around and threw it, hitting Remus, who threw it and it Sirius; they all looked at each other for a moment before grabbing pillows, and throwing them at Sirius.

"Hey, what did I do to deserve this?" He asked, as they all laughed hitting him with pillows, Sirius grabbed Sienna and threw her to floor, getting on top of her, and she at this point was laughing hysterically.

"Sirius…n-n-no!" She said, knowing what he was about to do, he reached down and started tickling her sides, she tried kicking him away but it was no use, "S-s-s-stop!" She laughed, "A-A-A-Ana!" She yelled for help, Remus was grinning.

"Now, now, Padfoot." He said, Sirius stopped, but instead of Remus helping her, he started tickling her bare feet, she started to laugh harder, if that was even possible, "R-R-REMUS!" She laughed.

Ana was getting a charge out of it, as Sirius grabbed her; that was until, McGonagall came in, in some sort of Nightcap, "To bed with all of you, you're making a great deal of racket!" She said, walking out, her lips in another thin line.

They all stopped, and took deep breaths from their laughing, and they all said goodnight, "That checkers game tomorrow, Remus." Sienna said winking he laughed and nodded, Ana and Sienna walked into their dorm and changed into their pajama's.

"That was fun." Sienna said truthfully.

"Yeah it was!" Ana said, sincerely meaning it, most of the time her and Sirius were fighting but they seemed to be having fun, the whole time Remus attacked Sienna, Sirius got a hold of Ana, "Goodnight Sienna." Ana said, turning out the lights.

"Night Ana." She said, closing her drapes around her bed, but; it wasn't going to be a good restful night for Sienna.
