Micky woke up at last, she must have fallen asleep at some point, she couldn't remember though, that whole evening was a blur of emotion, and none of it good. She silently, got washed and dressed before having a proper look round the dorm. The entire place was empty; looking at her watch she saw it was nearly 12 o'clock. No wonder it was empty, it was almost lunchtime.

She thought about what had gone on last night, the dream; the attack; the fact that she was getting accused. Even if Sirius Black was related to her (which she was sure he wasn't) she wouldn't try to kill anyone, and she would definitely never mistake Ron for Harry. One had ginger hair for heaven's sake.

Micky knew there was no point just moping; she'd done plenty of that last night. So she made her way down to the common room, where she found Kassi, Fred and George sitting next to the fire. Kassi saw her out the corner of her eye.

"Oh good you're up, I was about to come and see if you were still alive"

Micky merely nodded in recognition that she'd her Kassi speak and sat down next to Fred.

"You are looking rather pale Micky, are you alright?" Fred asked.

"Totally fine Fred I assure you, no doubt Kassi told you about our conversation last night." Micky replied whilst giving a glare in Kassi's direction.

"Only the outline, that you were upset and last night's accusations weren't helping."

"Fine, anyway should we go down for lunch I'm starving." Micky said. She wanted to get off the subject, and she was also telling the truth, she was hungry.

Fred, George and Kassi all smiled and shook their heads lightly as they joined Micky in making their way to the Great Hall.

The topic of conversation quickly switched on to more pleasant topics on the way down to the Great Hall and lunch was borderline good. The only thing that had a chance of spoiling it was the fact that Flint was staring in Micky's direction for the whole time she was in the Hall.

Eventually Fred and George reluctantly stood up and declared that they had homework that needed to be done, Micky and Kassi gave a cynical look their way, the twins doing homework was a miracle in itself, but them doing it voluntarily was more or less impossible.

They left the hall and Kassi let out an annoyed sigh,

"Great, he said we'd be able have some time together after lunch."

Micky had a feeling that Kassi had meant to think this, but as usual thoughts became words and Micky heard every single one. So she decided to investigate.

"Who said?"

"What?" She turned round in shock, "Oh God don't tell me I said that out loud."

" Yep, so who were you talking about then?"

"No one nosey, I was… I was just…"

"Listen Kassi if you're going to stumble over the lie then just tell me the truth. If you've finally asked Fred out that's great and…"

"How the hell do you know I like Fred!"

"Calm down Kassi, I doubt you want the whole school to know, anyway you just look at him, a lot, that's all."

"Do I? Either way it doesn't matter, he asked me anyhow."

So the feeling was mutual, Micky had been contemplating on trying to get them two together for some time but she had thought that it was one sided and that Fred in fact liked Angelina, another girl in their year.

"I'm happy for both of you, but you can't be expecting too much to happen at the moment, we've got exams soon remember."

"I know, this year sucks big time. We should and get you a boyfriend you know."

Micky hadn't been expecting that to come up and choked on the drink she was having. After coughing for several minutes, she turned back to Kassi.

"And why should you be getting me a boyfriend?"

"Well, I've got Fred now, I think George is going to ask out Angelina…"

Typical, Micky had known them for five years and she still got them mixed up sometimes.

"… and you're going to be on your own." Kassi finished.

"I don't need anyone, I'm fine in my current circumstances alright."

"What you've found someone yourself?"

"Ye… No I haven't. Since when has any male been interested in me?" She secretly hoped Remus had left the staff table, she and Kassi were sitting rather close to it and she didn't want him hearing this. She didn't dare look round to check in case Kassi caught her looking.

"You must have someone you like, I don't know, one of the older years."

"Kassi, I suggest that you give up before you start, I'm interested in no one and I'm quite happy the way I am."

"Or what about that secret admirer of yours, you remember, the one who sent you the necklace at Christmas. You could find out who that is."

"And if it turns out someone sent it as a joke?"

"Micky why do you always have to put everything down all the time. It's not as though you're ugly, at least your mirror doesn't crack when you look at it, unlike Flint's."

They both laughed at this, the daft thing was it was true, the last time they saw Flint look into a mirror it had smashed into millions of pieces, and the Gryffindor 5th years had never let him forget it.

"Listen Kassi," Micky said at last after their giggle. " I appreciate the concern and the offer but I'm fine, seriously, and I'm pleased for all of you."

At this they decided to leave, Fred and George were right about one thing, the homework was there waiting and it wasn't going to do itself. This year especially it seemed never-ending.

On their way back to the common room, Kassi stopped suddenly.

"Damn it!"

"What?"

"I was going to go see Prof. Lupin about that vampires essay, I don't understand any of it. I don't want to go there on my own."

"Why not? He's probably the nicest teacher we have here."

"Have you been in his office, it creeps me out, he's too many dead things in jars for my liking."

"Fine, coward, I'll go and ask him then, I'm confused about a part of it anyway."

With that Micky turned tail and went down towards the 5th floor and Lupin's classroom. At least this would give her some excuse to spend some time with him, as they seemed to barely see each other, except for lessons. She'd just have to remember to ask about the homework at some point or Kassi would get suspicious upon her return.

Sorry about the long wait for this chapter, I've been buried under homework, revision and exams these past few months. Being a college student isn't easy. I'll try to get chapters up a bit quicker from now on, as the next exams aren't until May.

Review please, constructive criticism welcome. Thank you for your patience.
