Chapter 33-
Finals were about a week away. Montague Kane had helped Regulus recover, if even to be half as healthy. Montague continued to take notes down from that book Avery had given to them.
"I think we should think of a spell to defend fire spells, something about water," Severus laughed, as the last week of April had arrived. Regulus was finally out of the hospital wing, and with a few adjustments, they had planned on a few spells, a fire spell, a defending spell. They would need time and experience, but Montague knew he could succeed in it.
The Gryffindor common room had tons of work being done. James had went over the notes he had took, along with studying for the finals. Lars had the final Slug Club meeting earlier around that same time. Lily had continued to avoid the talk of anagimi, and even ignored Anna who chose to sit down and listen to them talk.
Classes had started to open up. Slughorn seemed to favor his favorite students for the club. McGonagall had noticed a sudden upgrade in James work. Flitwick was ecstatic, despite Montauge missing many classes, he had aced the practice. Denstrom had told his class the last day of April he would be leaving come the following year. But wanted to see straight A's from everyone.
After class, signaling the end of the April classes, Lars felt distant from most people, except Remus who often stayed back to talk about what James had been doing.
"Do you trust James?" Lars asked Remus, who stayed outside Denstroms office, about two weeks before the final. "I never knew his talent for Transfiguration," Lars saw Remus smile
"Neither did I," Remus laughed. "We better move, before Montague finds his way in, he's wanted to confront you since Regulus got burned,"
Lars quickly ran off, not to run away, but to find Montague Kane. Remus realized that, but couldn't get to Lars in enough time. Lars had almost circled the school, no sign of Montague.
Lars ran into the common room. There were chants by James and Sirius, it seemed to have been anchored by Peter.
"This crew, I will spew," James laughed. "Will destroy you!" Sirius was dancing in the room, just watching Remus staring into the sky, as if nothing happened. Lars had no idea what he walked into, but before he knew it, he was thrown to the floor, and then woke up in the hospital wing bed a night after.
