Chapter 15-
Professor Denstrom stood by his classroom the final day before break. He had some gifts for select students. He taught his lesson, giving a fair look to Lars, and James often. Lars felt he had gifts for them.
After class, which everyone enjoyed learning about the defensive strategies against most spells, except the unforgiveable spells, Denstrom pulled out the list of students.
Lars and James had been awarded Denstrom's special student award, Montague and Severus had been awarded Denstrom's strongest student award, and Lily was awarded Denstroms biggest award, the shining star award.
He let everyone out. Slughorn had planned for everyone to meet with him shortly after. Professor Dumbledore was going to be there, Lars had seen little of him lately.
Lars saw Montague talking to Slughorn shortly before the party. Lars was hidden from Slughorn's view in the dungeons.
"I suggest you give some notice to Severus," Montague seemed to have been begging Slughorn. "Let him in the parties!" Montague was very upset.
Slughorn said no, as Lars suddenly appeared into view, thankfully Slughorn had went into his office, leaving Lars to look as though he came from the other direction.
"Montague," Lars said calmly. "Nice weather, eh?" Lars tried to sound as calm as possible.
"Lars," Montague laughed back. "Nobody cares with the holidays!" Montague then walked into the room, leaving Lars to wait outside for Lily. Anna showed up without Lily.
"Where is Lily?" Lars asked nervously to Anna. "I thought she was coming?" Lars saw Anna smile.
"I thought you would be happy to see me!" Anna laughed, Lars lightened up, Lily wasn't hurt, though Lars was excited to see Anna.
Anna and Lars didn't get to talk much more, as Regulus passed by, knocking into Anna. Anna nearly fell.
"Hey!" Lars yelled to Regulus. "Why did you do that?" Regulus ignored Lars, and walked inside. Slughorn walked to the door, after Regulus walked inside.
"Everyone alright?" Slughorn asked Lars. Lars just looked away. Anna was trying to calm Lars down.
"Regulus!" Lars yelled to Slughorn. "He is a jerk!" Regulus heard that and came to the door, Montague not in sight.
"You think you have support!" Regulus yelled to Lars. Scaring Slughorn.
"I'm sure we could talk this out!" Slughorn tried to assure the students.
"Not until you let Severus in!" Montague came walking up the door. Lily came running down, to see the situation.
"Lily," Slughorn smiled. "Come on in!" Lily didn't make it further then one step, because Regulus raised his wand in Lily's direction.
Slughorn went to lock his office, expecting a fight, as Lars raised his wand.
"Want to go at it!" Lars yelled to Regulus, who had Montague supporting him. Lily also raised her wand, threatening everyone.
"Last warning," Lily yelled, as some nearby students took attention. "I'm not here to fight, anyone who is, get in trouble!" Lily walked away, grabbing Anna with her. Lars followed suit, which left Montague and Regulus laughing. Lars caught at the corner of his eye, Slughorn threw both of them in his room. Lars wished he knew what Slughorn did to them.
