When I woke up the next morning I felt refreshed and back to 100 percent. I stood up and changed clothes, as I prepare to leave I noticed Remus up and paler.

"Do you need help to the hospital wing Remus."

He looked at me and nodded.

I took his arm and we began walking to the hospital wing as I began thinking to myself. Today is Slughorn's party, I guess I should dress, nicely? Hmmm, and should I take my violin? I guess so...

Finally we arrived at the hospital wing and I saw Madam Pomfrey,

"Back again are you? So soon? Oh."

She stopped talking when she saw Remus and gestured to a nearby bed to place him in.

After doing so I left the hospital wing and headed to the Great Hall.

Today I was the first student there abs I noticed Slughorn talking to Minnie.

"Surely you can cancel this party! Or at least postpone it after the events of yesterday!"

"These events are good for the youth Minerva! It gets everyone together!"

"Yeah Minnie! I can't wait to go to it tonight!"

Both the teachers looked at me and then Minnie glared at Slughorn before stomping off.

Professor Slughorn sent me a reassuring smile before heading off to the teachers table.

I ate alone before Evelyn appeared and sat next to me. I could tell she was upset at me, but she was acting all close to me instead.

"I'm Soo glad your here so I can see you. It would be awfuulll if you werennnn't here."

I shot her a glare but she simply smilied at me. After breakfast I went to my first class of the day, transfiguration in which we turned a beetle into a button. It was tough but in the end I got it. Minnie was really pleased with me and awarded 20 points to Gryffindor.

Time went on and after a solid lunch and history of magic class I went to potions. We began brewing our first potion in class today and it was rather easy. Slughorn was impressed as me and Lily worked so well together.

Finally the time arrived for the party.

I dressed with the nicest clothes I had, a dress shirt and nice pants as well as dress shoes.

When I went downstairs I saw Lily waiting for me, she was wearing a pretty dress that matches her hair.

After exchanging laughs at the clothes we were wearing we headed off to the party.

When we arrived we met Slughorn.

"Ah! Jame! Lily! How nice to see you two! You both look marvelous! Come in! Come in! There are so many people to meet!"

Lily and I followed Slughorn and he was correct, there were quite a few people here. Students, mostly 6th and 7th years and an abundance of adults.

Me and Lily stayed near the back of the party as we weren't in the "drinking mood" as Slughorn took out bottles upon bottles of mead and drank and drank.

After dessert was served Slughorn motioned everyone to me.

"And this everyone, is the Musical Magician himself! An amazing student here at Hogwarts with all the potential in the world. Here! He will showcase his talent!"

And with that the spotlight was entirely on me. I took out my violin and began to play the Hogwarts' Hymn.

After the tune concluded many guests looked impressed and lots of chatter erupted after an applause.

Lily was beaming at me and then went to talk to a young wizard who was known for being incredibly witty.

Then a man with very pale skin and black hair approached me.

"Hello Jame! My name is Tom, I'm here because I wish to become the Defense against the Dark Arts Teacher, and Slughorn arranged a meeting for me and Dumbledore.

I must say you are incredibly talented, keep up the great work,

And perhaps the two of us could accomplish something special together. "

I nodded slowly at him, I felt a creepy feeling from him, he was incredibly powerful, I could tell... But he didn't seem right... He reminded me of the Slytherins who cursed me...

At that moment another person came over to talk to me.

He was a 6th year, very dark skin and in RavenClaw.

"My name is Kingsley Shacklebolt,

And I must say you are incredible talented. I myself plan to become an auror but should yourself every need anything from me, please let me know. You've impressed me."

I nodded at him as he then went on to talk to the head of the auror office.

After some time Slughorn looked tired and informed everyone that we were here to late, and that It was time for bed.

As me and Lily walked back I noticed she was all giggly and walking funny.

I frowned and knew that she must have gotten her hands on some of Slughorn's mead.

I took her hand in which she "aww'd"

And we headed back to the Gryffindor Commonroom. Once we arrived I sat Lily down on a chair as she was passed out, and had no way of getting her to her room.

I wasn't going to let Lily stay here alone, so I sat on the couch and looked out the window.

The moon was full.

I soon heard a howl from the grounds and my blood froze.

I knew we were safe here, but what if I fell asleep and Lily wondered the grounds?

I then had an ingenious idea.

I placed my violin next to Lily so it was fairly touching her and used the spell.

"Forte Maxima."

I whispered it and then went on the couch. Now if she woke up I should wake up, and be able to react, and keep her safe.

I closed my eyes.
