Hi everyone and thanks for the lovely reviews.

Hope you like the chapter (:


"Wakey wakey guys!" Millie yelled as she pulled the curtains open.

Lizzy sat up and rubbed her eyes "Is it really seven?"

Millie looked surprised "Yeah, what's up with you?"

Lizzy yawned "I didn't sleep very well last night"

Charlotte sat up groggily "My heart bleeds for you"

Marlene got up "Oh I hate school sometimes"

Lizzy rolled her eyes "Oh do stop moaning you two!"

Charlotte got up quickly "Bagsi bathroom first!"

Millie swore as she ran in "That's not fair! You are always in there for bloody hours!"

Marlene rolled her eyes "Oh well, we could just pack our bags?"

Millie groaned "What do we have today?"

Lizzy sighed "You still haven't learnt your timetable?!"

Millie gave her the finger "Oh just shut up and tell me!"

Marlene spoke quickly "Its Charms first, Herbolgy and then Divination."

Charlotte came out of the bathroom fully dressed "Has anyone seen my shoes?"

Millie rolled her eyes "Lottie we don't even have Defence against the Dark Arts today!"

Charlotte tugged on her short skirt "What do you mean by that?"

Lizzy smirked "Well I assume she was commenting on the fact that you wouldn't stop drooling over Professor Fritten?"

Charlotte glared at her "Well he is very good looking!"

Marlene laughed "You lucky that we have Defence against the Dark Arts with the Slytherin's this year!"

Lizzy grinned "I don't even see what you see in him Lottie, I mean he's ginger!"

Millie looked up "What's wrong with gingers?!"

The other three looked at her "What?"

Millie went deep red and ran towards the bathroom "I mean half your families ginger"

Charlottes face lit up "Oh my!"

Marlene looked at Lizzy "What's up with them?"

Lizzy smirked "If I've got it right then the world is over"

Charlotte burst out laughing "This is so perfect!"

Marlene rolled her eyes "Well don't tell me then!"


"Well today class we will be starting on Cheering charms. No Mr Prewett, don't get too excited. Today we will be learning the theory so get out your parchment and quills..." Professor Flitwick said, to groans from the rest of the class.

Lizzy sighed "Well this sounds very interesting!"

Professor Flitwick smiled at them "Quiet Miss Potter please"

Millie smirked and muttered "We could always pass notes"

Lizzy smirked back and pulled out a spare bit of parchment;

Millie Bones loves Gideon Prewett

22051-4256-6711-1382-41110-5221-743-137-410-50%

Fuck off

Calm down it's only a joke!

Not a funny one

Sore topic?

Seriously shut up!

Sorry

Lizzy ripped up the parchment and started to write some notes on Cheering Charms.

Then something hit her on the head; she turned round and glared at Fabien "What?!"

He held up a broken quill and widened his eyes.

Lizzy smirked at him "Here" she threw him a brown quill

Fabien grinned at her and gave her a thumbs up.

She turned round; to face an annoyed looking Professor Flitwick "Perhaps you`d like to repeat what I just said Miss Potter?"

Lizzy went red "Sorry sir, he needed a quill"

Professor Flitwick raised his eyebrows "And Miss Bones?"

Lizzy bit her lip and looked at the desk "Sorry sir"

Professor Flitwick sighed "Well keep up; the Cheering Charm was invented by Felix Summerbee during the 1400s..."


"You should have been paying attention Lizzy! Cheering Charms are bound to be on the exam!" Charlotte lectured as they huddled under a small ledge to avoid the pouring rain.

Lizzy rolled her eyes "Thanks a bunch Lottie, sure you don't want to be a teacher when you leave school?"

Charlotte scowled at her "Just because I don't want to fail my exams..."

"Leave it will you" Millie snapped "Can we talk about something else instead of bickering!"

Lizzy raised her eyebrows "Sorry, I was only joking you know!"

Millie blushed "Will you shut up!"

Charlotte's eyes flashed "Why? What were you passing notes about?"

Millie glared at Lizzy "Nothing!"

Lizzy rolled her eyes but muttered "Forget it"

Marlene coughed "Have you both finished your star charts?"

Charlotte nodded "Of course, though apparently Leos are in serious danger for a few weeks"

Lizzy rolled her eyes "Oh no, that's me and Gideon dying anyone else?"

Charlotte looked shocked "Lizzy it isn't funny!"

Lizzy raised her eyebrows "Your right; it's so stupid that it's comical"

Millie smirked "Well as long as they aren't worrying about it they are pretty safe"

Marlene turned to her "How so?"

Millie crossed her arms "Well if you spend all your time worrying about something; the odds are it will happen"

Lizzy smirked "That and your aura will go a funny colour"

Charlotte scowled at her "Are you ever going to stop mocking Divination?"

Lizzy smiled "No, though Regulus would probably sign any petition you started"


"Miss Potter you need to be careful! Puffapods are very delicate" Professor Heatherwood sighed as she ran over the plant that Lizzy, Gideon, Fabien and Marlene were working on

"Sorry Professor" Lizzy said as she caught the Puffapod nimbly before it hit the floor.

Marlene glared at her "Do good reflexes run in the family?"

Fabien glanced at his brother "Obviously; we"

"Practically invented"

"Quidditch, it's been"

"A tradition for all Potters to"

"Be on the school team"

"For centuries" finished Lizzy with a bow.

Gideon grinned "Hey you can still do it!"

Lizzy smiled "Not very well; I'm out of practice"

Marlene sighed "I`d remind you how freaky it is but you already know"

Lizzy rolled her eyes "It's cool; James used to get so jealous when I could do it and he couldn't"

Marlene laughed "Oh I bet you were really kind about that?"

Lizzy shrugged "He was always smug about everything I couldn't do"

Fabien grinned "James was always smug full stop."

Gideon smiled "Could have been worse; he taught us how to fly"

Fabien started "That's a point bro` its keeper auditions tomorrow!"

Lizzy groaned "Are you trying out then?"

Fabien looked at her "Yeah!"

Gideon raised his eyebrows "You aren't? There's no keeper either."

Lizzy shrugged "I don't fancy James bossing me around to be honest..."

Fabien rolled his eyes "But you`d be great, our Mum was a keeper!"

Lizzy rolled her eyes "She was also champion of the gob stones club!"


"Why don't you ever do your homework!?" Charlotte said; glaring at the twins who were hurriedly filling in there star charts.

Gideon didn't look up "Because we have better things to do Lottie"

Millie snorted "Do you wanna copy mine?"

"Gideon she`ll notice" Edgar said before Gideon could talk.

Lizzy shook her head "Nah, I mean they should all be the same anyway"

Edgar shook his head "Wish I had someone to copy off in Arithmancy"

Lizzy looked at him "Amber Patil is alright, who is it you sit next to?"

Edgar glanced at the Ravenclaw table "Err I think she's called Hestia Jones. To be honest she scares me but I guess she's alright"

Fabien grimaced "Bad luck, Ravenclaws never let you copy"

"Slytherin's do" Lizzy said absent mindedly picking at her mashed potato.

Millie rolled her eyes "Only one does Lizzy and you know it"

Lizzy sighed "Yeah yeah; so is anyone else trying out for the team?"

"Are you Lizzy?" James said brightly as he sat down next to her.

Lizzy shook her head "No, the twins are though"

James grinned "Brilliant! Our old beaters were crap"

Sirius pouted "But I wanna be a beater"

James rolled his eyes "Well those two are better than you so tough luck"

Remus sighed as Sirius started to weep on his shoulder "Fantastic"

Lizzy rolled her eyes "Oh cut it out Sirius; the whole crying thing is getting old"

Sirius glared at her "The whole Romeo and Juliet thing is getting old!"

Lizzy crossed her arms "I'm sorry Sirius but I really don't know what your problem is?!"

Sirius stood up "Are you really that thick?! Ugh you just wait and see Lizzy, because this will all end in tears!"

He stormed off leaving a seething Lizzy to face James and Remus.


"So do you still not know what his problem is?" Regulus asked calmly as Lizzy finished her rant.

Lizzy shook her head "No I just don't understand him! He's like a spoilt child!"

Regulus smiled humourlessly "Tell me about it; what I don't get is...Well I thought he`d be thrilled"

Lizzy dropped her book "What? Why?"

Regulus went pink "Well he was disappointed when I was sorted into Slytherin, and well I thought he might see you as well as a good influence"

Lizzy laughed "I never thought about it like that"

Regulus grimaced "Unfortunately that works both ways; James will see me as a bad influence I bet"

Lizzy smiled "I can handle James; maybe you should try a bit more with Sirius..."

Regulus scowled at her "Are you blaming me for...!"

Lizzy backtracked quickly "No of course not! I just thought maybe you could be the bigger man and make the first move?"

Regulus didn't answer though the way he was throwing back the pages of his book did suggest that he wasn't too pleased.

Lizzy touched his arm "Regulus, the main problem that James has with you is that Sirius doesn't like...us; please try, for me?"

Regulus sighed "Fine I will try; but you do think he is the one to blame?"

Lizzy nodded automatically "Of course he is; thank you"


"Divination is a very interesting subject" Regulus insisted; tickling Lizzy as they walked down to dinner together.

Lizzy prodded him back "You come off it! Who's dying in your class?"

Regulus went pink "Me"

Lizzy rolled her eyes "See its utter rubbish"

Regulus smiled "Actually if James has anything to do with it..."

Lizzy laughed "Don't worry; I've got him trained well"

Regulus smiled then frowned "Andromeda!"

Andromeda Black has just come out of an empty classroom; her hair distinctly ruffled.

She spun around and spoke a lot louder than nesscerry "Regulus! What are you doing here?"

Regulus glanced at the classroom "I could ask you the same question, what's the Head Girl doing sneaking around at Dinner?"

Andromeda flushed "Making sure that mouthy younger students aren't hanging around"

Lizzy; who was rather afraid of the older girl started pulling Regulus along.

Andromeda noticed her "Hang on, are you two going out?"

Regulus stuck his chin out "Yes we are!"

Andromeda looked gobsmacked "That's...fantastic!"

Lizzy watched her cautiously "Thanks..."

Andromeda shook her head "Well I...Of you go down to dinner."

Lizzy didn't need telling twice and sped down the corridor.

Regulus cornered her on the stairs "What was that?"

Lizzy glanced at him defiantly "What was what?"

He burst out laughing "Are you scared of Andromeda?"

Lizzy glared at him "Of course not!"

He looked gleeful "Yes you are, this is classic!"

Lizzy blushed "Yeah well she hates me, is good at duelling and..."

Regulus`s smile faded "She doesn't hate you; what gave you that idea?"

Lizzy was scarlet now "Oh shut up!"

Regulus put his arm round her waist; still grinning.


"Ha see, we have no homework whereas you two have massive essays to write and boring books to read!" Fabien said delightedly to Edgar and Lizzy.

Lizzy rolled her eyes and turned the page "It isn't actually that boring"

Edgar nodded "Besides Divination sounds like torture!"

Millie shrugged "Maybe to closet Ravenclaws; but us with less intellectual brains find it quite challenging"

Edgar looked at his sister "Sis if you find Divination challenging..."

Gideon coughed "Oh sod off, how was Hestia?"

Edgar shrugged "Fine, wanted help with her Herbolgy homework...What?"

Fabien burst out laughing "Nothing mate; how was Lover boy?"

Lizzy smiled "He was fine; had to put up with a bit of a rant though..."

Charlotte nodded "Yeah, come on you lot; what's up with Sirius cause I don't get it?"

Gideon shrugged "Beats me; though maybe we could leave the subject next time?"

Lizzy snorted "Yeah because you are such a pacifist cous; anyway he acts like a spoilt child!"

Marlene sighed "Just try being nice Lizzy; anyway...What are you doing?"

Millie went bright red "I wasn't doing anything"

Charlotte giggled "Of course you weren't!"

Gideon looked confused "What were you doing anyway?"

Millie glared at Marlene "I wasn't doing anything!"

Lizzy looked at Marlene who whispered in her ear "She has been staring at Gideon all day"

Lizzy smiled and winked at Millie "The world is over"

Edgar looked at Fabien who shrugged "No idea; must be a girl thing?"
