It was Tuesday and there were only four more days until the Halloween dance. Lily who was feeling a bit better after eating three tubs of ice cream that her and Serenity has snuck down to the kitchen in the dead of night to get, but she had insisted that she had gained ten pounds from it and forced the other three girls to go with her for a jog around the lake in the dead of night. The girls had reluctantly agreed after Lily pulled the guilt card.
The girls had just finished lunch and were wandering through the corridors when the heard some rather odd noises coming from one of the classrooms.
"I better go see," Lily said, "Being Prefect and all."
The other girls nodded.
Lily motioned for Serenity to open the door and the four were met with the rather disturbing sight of Sirius half naked on top of Rachel Densmore a 6th year Ravenclaw. Serenity looked like she wanted to strangle him but the other three pulled her from the room covered her mouth so she wouldn't and couldn't scream. They then dragged her back to the common room.
"Don't scream okay?" Lily told Serenity as she was the one covering her mouth. Serenity rolled her eyes being able to do nothing else. Lily removed her hand and Serenity immediately began ranting.
"That bastard. How could he? Merlin help him, I will rip out his throat!" She began pacing back and forth in front of the dancing fire. Her anger continued to build with every threat. She felt as if every inch of her was on fire it seemed that her veins were on fire as well as her heart.
"Serenity," Lily screamed
But Serenity didn't hear anything more because she passed out.

The next morning Serenity woke to find that the other three girls were around her, "What happened?" she asked wearily.
"Well, you're a pyrokenisis," Molly said from her left, "You were walking back and forth saying all the ways you would kill Sirius when all of a sudden your hands caught fire."
"Really, then why aren't I in the Hospital Wing?" She asked sitting up and yawning.
"We didn't think it was a big deal, I've read about it and I knew that it wouldn't harm you so we just brought you up here. It's only seven so don't worry you shouldn't miss any classes," Lily smiled at the frown on Serenity's face when she said that last part.
The rest of the day went on rather smoothly. Serenity had completely ignored Sirius all day and he couldn't understand why. All four girls had brought down there cd players which the had enchanted to play whatever song the wanted to hear, when rather suddenly there music got louder and the entire great hall could hear the sound of Macy Gray the muggle singer.
Hush the neighbors hear you moaning' and groanin'
I just can't help myself especially when we get bonin'
I can take you fears away, but he said it's so much better when you do it my way,
The four girls had forcibly started singing with it, and had clamped their hands over their mouths to stop, but the sound only got louder. They looked to the four boys who all smirked mischievously.
How can I be leaving?
Hey was so nice,
He something like my favorite movie,
I wanna see him again and again. (oh no no no)
The marauders had dragged the girls to the front of the hall, much to there protest.
I light my disco
He really groovy (oh no no no)
When we go oh oh no let him in,
He light my fire make me feel like nothing
Never lovin, were always fuckin,
I can take your fears away,
But I kinda miss them now that they've gone astray.
The girls looked terrified at what they were singing when James stood up, "Do you think we should have mercy upon them?"
Everyone in the great all either booed or clapped. The Slytherins doing the first one. James took of the enchantment. And the four girls ripped of their cd players so James wouldn't be able to change his mind. The rest of dinner went by rather quietly.
As the four girls were rounding a corner plotting their revenge on Sirius Serenity ran into something and fell backwards. Just as she was about to hit the ground a strong arm caught her. Lucius pulled a disgusted look then pushed her backwards, this time her friends caught her. She stood back up and glared.
"What the hell is wrong with you people? One minute you're all like 'Blood traitors' then your warning us and finally you catch me then shove me away again. What's your god damned problem?" She yelled angrily making wild motions with her hands. Sirius chose this moment to walk by and say.
"Wow, mood swings much?" his smirk faded as Serenity yelled back, "Go screw yourself Sirius. Oh wait that's what you have Rachel for." She glared and Rose grabbed her arm to make sure she wouldn't kill him. Sirius left rather quickly as you could imagine. Lily made and excuse about having to ask McGonagoll something and ran off. Soon after that Molly yelled, "Arthur," then chased after her boyfriend/
Serenity stomped down the corridor angrily muttering to herself leaving Rose standing in front of four Slytherins.
"She's having a bad day," Was her simple answer to the questioning looks the Slytherins gave her.
"Who's Rachel?" Bella asked as Rose turned to follow her friends.
"Sirius' slut" She answered angrily before stomping off as well.
"Ah," Lucius nodded

Serenity had walked in blind anger all the way back to Gryffindor tower to find a new bulletin on the board.
Halloween party for 6th and 7th years only in the Dungeons
8:00 tonight
She
thought. 'Hmm might be fun, obviously the girls will want to go so
they'll drag me there any ways. Well it starts at eight and its seven
now better start getting ready.'
Serenity headed up to the dorms and started shifting threw her closet for something to wear. Not 5 minutes later the three other girls ran into the room and ran to there closets.
"What no hello?" Serenity said sarcastically as she pulled out a pair of tight jeans and a plain black shirt that was low cut and showed her stomach.
Lily turned and said, "I haven't seen you wear those clothes since before you started dating Sirius."
"Lily don't make me hurt you," Serenity growled
"Fine."
"I always say if you got it, flaunt it," Serenity said
An hour later all the girls were fighting for a spot in front of the one full length mirror in the room. They were either putting on final touches to there outfits or doing there makeup.
"Molly," Lily complained, "Got do your make up in the bathroom. You don't need a full length mirror to just see your face."
"Fine," Molly packed up her cosmetic bag and walked into the bathroom and Serenity followed her. Molly walked out 10 minutes later, but Serenity didn't come out.
"What's taking her so long?" Rose complained.
Molly replied, "She won't come out until her makeup is perfect she said."
Everyone groaned, "And you know how long that will take."
Serenity surprised them all by coming out 5 minutes later, a record for her.
"Tada," she said throwing up her arms, "What do you think?"
"Great," everyone agreed, "Now let's go."
Lily had decided on a light green spaghetti strap shirt and a dark green jacket. She was also wearing simple green earrings and an emerald necklace as well has her black jeans.
Rose had decided on a black mini skirt with Mary Jane's. She also had on a white blouse and a red ribbon holding back her hair.
Molly decided on a red sleeveless shirt with black jeans and an opal necklace.
"Nice heels Mol," Serenity said
"Thanks, hey wait they're the same as the ones your wearing except yours are black and mine are red."
"Very good," Serenity chuckled
"Are we all wearing the same shoes?" Lily asked looking down at her silver ones
"You guys are, I'm not," Rose said
"Ooops," they all laughed
The girls walked into the dungeon and the party was already going. A few people were already drunk but then again the girls had been fashionably late and it was now 8:45.
Upon entering the dungeon Lily was immediately whisked away by James, Molly by Arthur, and Rose by Remus. Leaving Serenity to stand there, eventually she decided to get a drink of firewhisky. Serenity sat there in a chair against the wall feeling sorry for herself. She had gone through at least a bottle because right in front of her were Sirius and Rachel dancing. If you could call it that, it looked more like sex on a dance floor. They were still standing up right or should I say Sirius was and Rachel had her legs wrapped around Sirius waist and they were blued together at the lips and Sirius's hands were roaming.
"Get a room," Serenity yelled.
Sirius didn't look but Rachel unglued her self from Sirius and looked directly at Serenity. She pretended to cry and the made a big show of relocking her lips with Sirius'.
The next morning Serenity woke to a pounding headache amd someone's arm draped over her. She rolled over to the person and buried her face in his chest thinking happily, 'This is perfect,' but then her face fell when she noticed that the bed hangings were green as well as the comforter on the bed.
"Shit," she muttered then thought, 'Which Slytherin is it this time, I'm such a slut.'
She opened her eyes more and to say she was very surprised to see that Lucius Malfoy was lying next to her was an understatement.
'Great, just fucking perfect. Why is it always me?' she thought groaning
"Your awake," Lucius said,
"Not so loud, my head's killing me," Serenity groaned and buried her head into his chest again, "We didn't...do anything did we?" she asked hesitantly. Her voice was slightly muffled and he had to strain his ears to hear it.
"No, your friends left before you did with their boyfriends, you left and I saw how wasted you were and I thought I'd follow you to make sure that you got back okay and you fell into the trick step and passed out," he laughed slightly remembering what had happened.
"Damn trick step," she mumbled.
"Don't blame it on the stairs," he said.
"What time is it?" she asked turning her face up to look at him properly.
"4 in the morning," he replied.
"I better go," she said before instantly falling back asleep.
The next time she woke, her head ache was a little better. She sat up and thought, 'No, it's worse.' She had a hoped that waking up next to Lucius was some whacked out dream, but the gods apparently were against her and he was still right next to her. She slowly turned away and snuggled back into him when she realized how cold it was. 'God what am I doing? Brain are you in there? Are you working against me?' she thought.
Lucius chuckled.
"What the hell? Don't you ever sleep?" she asked when she heard.
"Yes but you woke me up when you moved," he said and pulled her closer when she shivered.
"Oh sorry," she replied grateful for the warmth he provided even if she wasn't glad it was him providing it.
"Hey, did you want to go to this dance with me?" he asked after about 10 minutes of silence.
'What dance? Oh god I can't remember anything. My brain feels like it's going to explode,' she thought, "Sure," she replied, 'Serenity when you get out of here I am going to kill you,' she thought.
"Great," Lucius said, "Well it's time to get up for breakfast."
"Shit," Serenity muttered, "The girls are going to kill me and then ask questions."
"Sorry I didn't hear that," Lucius said
Serenity who was trying to sit up but having no luck just groaned.
Finally she made it up to Gryffindor Tower. Thankfully the girls had already gone down to breakfast. She opened her trunk and found a note.
Serenity
Where were you last night and this morning for that matter?
LMR
Serenity went and had a shower which helped her head ache a bit and then she stumbled down to breakfast.
"Where were you?" everyone cried jumping up from their seats.
"Fighting a major hangover," she muttered
"With who?" the girls asked knowing her to well.
She shook her head not wanting to say she was with Lucius Malfoy but the girls just took it as a 'not now' shake of her head. They settled back down to finish their breakfast.
Lessons that day were terribly boring they didn't learn anything they didn't already know, but that was only the lesson what happened during those classes was anything but. The first class was Double Potions with the Slytherins.
"Why do we always have class with those idiots," Molly said
"It's a plot," Rose said
"I agree," Lily said
They all turned to Serenity because she always had a lot to rant about the Slytherins, but today all she could think of was how great it felt to be in Lucius' arms.
Everyone found their seats but Serenity just stared at her seat.
"Oh no," Lily said and she stood up, "Here Serenity you can sit next to James."
"Thanks," Serenity said and went and sat down in Lily's spot. Lily went and sat down next to Sirius.
"So what's going on?" James asked
"I thought you would have known by now?" she grumbled
"No I don't. Please inform me why your sitting here instead of Lily and Lily's gone to sit with my best friend and your boyfriend."
"Ex," she shot.
"Okay I see. What did he do this time?"
"He slept with Rachel, you know the Ravenclaw?"
James nodded and then said, "Serenity I don't think he has. He can't keep it a secret if he has and I haven't heard about it."
"Well maybe not all the way but he almost has," she grumbled
"How do you know?"
"You're telling me you didn't see them at the party?"
"No," James said sheepishly, "I was with Lily."
"Oh that explains everything," Serenity mumbled, "What'd you do?"
"None of your business."
"Must be big then."
Meanwhile Sirius was deep in conversation with Lily.
"What is wrong with her?" Sirius asked
Lily not knowing whether to tell him or be the good friend and ignore him. Finally she decided that no harm could come in her talking to him.
"Like you don't know."
"What did I do?" Sirius asked
Lily sighed and turned and face him, "Sirius you're honestly asking that question?'
He nodded.
"Well then you're stupider than I thought."
"Lily I didn't do anything."
Lily snorted, "Grow up Sirius and stop with that childish act. We all know what you and Rachel are doing."
"Oh that's what this is about is it? Lily you're telling me that Serenity doesn't sleep around behind my back?"
"No she doesn't Sirius, she really liked you and you broke her heart. Sure she has slept around when she was dating before, but never when she was dating you. She thought that you might actually be the one," Lily finished
"I know Serenity and she would still be sleeping around…"
"Maybe you do know her, but I know her better and she isn't."
Professor Slughorn decided at this moment to walk into the room and start class.
"We'll finish this later," Lily mumbled.

Nothing went smoothly for Serenity the rest of the day. She realized that every seat in every class was beside Sirius so her friends took turns switching her. Molly was wearing to much perfume and Sirius kept turning to look at her. Also her head ache was getting worse if that's even possible.
Right in the middle of Transfiguration which was the last class of the day thankfully she jumped from her seat and yelled, "No, I did not sleep with anybody last night, Molly your wearing to much perfume, and all of your talking is not helping the MAJOR headache I have from my hangover so will you please shut you mouths."
She saw everyone staring at her and she sat back down in her chair beside Remus-Rose had switched with her. Everyone in the room looked shocked including McGonagall.
"Thank you for that little outburst Miss. Lucifer. That will be ten points from Gryffindor," Professor McGonagall said before continuing to demonstrate how to turn a couch cushion into a chair.
