"So how did you think you did?" Sirius was asking as he lounged in the common room.
"What do you care what I got on my NEWTs?" Frank replied, sitting down easily across from the shaggy haired boy. "You didn't even like Herbology."
"I did," Sirius countered as the door opened behind him, "Alice!" He barked, hearing her jump.
"Leaping lizards Sirius," She panted, coming over to hit the boy on the head, "You nearly gave me a heart attack."
"If you weren't busy as a bee, I wouldn't have to find ways to surprise you." Sirius grinned. "I just wanted a chit-chat."
"We'll see who'll have the last laugh, Black." She snarled, glancing over to Frank Longbottom as he sat watching them. "How was the NEWT?"
"As good as gold." He replied as he stood, "Up for a bit of practice?"
"Always." She nodded.
"Don't wait up Sirius." Frank instructed, walking out the common room door with her. As they made their way to their spot, he took a hold of her little finger with his own.
"How was the exam really?" She asked, looking out a window as they passed.
"Bloody hard." He huffed, "But I think I passed."
"I am sure you passed with flying colours." She said softly as they approached the Quidditch pitch. "Do you think anyone will remember us Frank? Hogwarts has seen so many great witches and wizards."
"You want to be immortal?" He teased, and she groaned. "Oh how wrong we were to think that immortality meant never dying."
"I'm serious!"
"No, I'm Sirius." A voice came from behind them, and they separated quickly. "See," He wagged his finger at them. "I knew there was something fishy going on."
Frank brandished his wand faster than the shaggy boy could react. "Tell anyone about this, Sirius Black, and I swear there will be one less Marauder wandering these halls."
"Merlin," Sirius raised his hands up with a crooked smile. "All this over little Alice Wood."
