Hey! Thanks for the lovely comments on the last chapter!

I don't own Harry Potter, shame…

The next day I woke up and read my charms textbook, I just liked reading ahead on that subject. I know, I know, I sound like a total nerd but some of the spells are really interesting. The boys I'm pretty sure were still asleep, maybe. You know what, now that I think about it, I'll go check on them.

I went up to the first year boys' room and knocked.

"REMUS, JAMES, SIRIUS! ARE YOU AWAKE YET" I screamed at the door.

"Tonksie, stop screaming, we're trying to sleep!" One of them shouted back, probably Sirius as the usual nickname was back.

"Fine, I'm coming in." I burst through the door and saw them all still in bed, Remus and James snoring away, it being Sirius who at least looked a little bit awake.

"COME ON! It's nearly lunchtime and I don't want to look like a sad pathetic loner, so please. GET UP!" I screamed the last bit.

"I'll go with you Dora; I don't think James and Sirius are capable of getting up right now. Now, if you give me five minutes I'll meet you at the bottom of the stairs." Remus got up and stretched.

"Ok, meet you there."

Five minutes later he was there nicely dressed and clean. I went up to him and smiled and got a smell of him. He smelt like lemons, my favourite smell.

"Mmm." I sniffed in the smell; it was just so clean and refreshing.

"What was the Dora?" Dammit, he heard.

"Oh, nothing, just really hungry, thanks all, ha…ha…ha." I laughed nervously. Why am I such a nerd, jeez!

We reached the Great Hall and feasted on some mince pie with sweet corn, it was so good, I had three. Piggy.

The next day I woke up and decided that instead of my normal hair colour, purple, I would change it to a periwinkle blue with pink tips, it was also long with soft ringlets, and as soon as I looked in the mirror, I loved it.

"Looking good Tonks!" I said out loud.

"Yup, you look fabulous darling." The mirror replied.

I skipped down the stairs, confident, happy and content with everything at the moment. Once I reached the boys at the bottom of the stairs I asked.

"Hey boys, notice anything cool with my hair?"

"Yeah, it looks great…What's different about it?" Sirius replied with.

"Um, nothing. Boys." I muttered the last bit under my breath. They were so unobservant sometimes.

"I think it looks great Dora." Remus whispered to me. I blushed furiously; I seemed to do that a lot around him.

"Thanks!"

Today I realised that it was the first day of exams…oopsies, I didn't study, well unless you count loads of homework and reading then, I kind of studied. I know I'll pass at least Charms.

Everyone in the first year went to the great hall to take their Charms exam. We all sat there, everyone from every house, and waited for around five minutes until they started calling out names, I presume in alphabetic order as after a couple other randoms with last names starting with the letter A, Sirius went up looking a little bit nervous.

Soon the mystical person calling the names was calling out Remus, then Peter then James, and soon too soon, they called my name. I walked shakily towards the door and was already sweating.

"Alright Nymphadora, you just need to make an apple tap dance across the table, that's all." Professor Flitwick said once I walked through the door. "I know you'll be able to do it!" He whispered on a side note.

I said the incantation and successfully made my apple tap dance across the table; it also did a little hop at the end and even bowed to the professor. I was happy and believed that I did well.

The other exams I did well, but Charms was obviously my better subject. In potions with Professor Slughorn, I think I missed one ingredient, but the potion was the correct colour and scent. In DADA I was to tell Professor Merrythought how to cure a werewolf bite and to tell her where to find Bowtruckles.

The next couple of days we had our exam for transfiguration, astronomy, History of Magic and herbology. I did well in these, all the homework they gave us paid off. The boys all did well naturally, yet Remus was the one who did the best, I'm not too surprised as he actually studied… Oh well.

Today was the second last day and there was no school so the boys and I spent all that time outside chatting and hanging out. Lily came to sit with us for about ten minutes until she got so annoyed that she had to leave, and guess who it was, yes, Mr James Potter.

"James, was that necessary?" James had asked her to be his girlfriend in ten different languages and then climbed the tree we were leaning against and shouted it to from the top of the tree so that everyone in the courtyard could hear him.

"Yes it was, I want her to be my girlfriend so I asked her in the funniest way possible, just so she knows that is she was to be my girlfriend she would have fun, not be covered in slime if she went out with Snivellus."

"Whatever." I replied.

We spent more time just hanging around until we had to go to dinner.

"Oh, this is when we found out who won the house cup right?" Peter asked excitedly.

"Yes Peter, well done, here, take a dog treat." Sirius said lazily.

We reached the hall and it was filled with blue and bronze coloured banners and table clothes.

"I guess Ravenclaw won this year." I said.

"Noooo, Slytherin won." Said Sirius sarcastically.

"Sirius, I'm pretty sure it was Ravenclaw." Peter said.

Sirius just shook head and went to sit down next to James.

"Well, there goes another year and another semester. I hope you all enjoyed this year and come back happy and healthy next semester." Dumbledore started his speech with. "Now, time for the points for the houses. In last place we have Hufflepuff with 723 points. In third place we have Slytherin with 856 points. In second place we have Gryffindor with 902 points meaning that Ravenclaw has won with a total of 908 points! Congratulations to all the houses. Tuck in!"

The food appeared as soon as he said those last two words, and the food was so good! There was lamb chops, chicken, turkey, steak, Yorkshire pudding, chips, corn, peas and a gravy boat the size of a small ship. It was all scrumptious! The dessert was even better with treacle tart, pumpkin pie, marshmallows and sweets to fill your pockets with.

Today was the last day. The last day of adventure, food so good it makes your mouth water just thinking about it, pranks, fun, homework, classes and seeing friends every day. I t was a sad day today. We all had packed our trunks last night and they were sitting ready for Filch the care taker to put on the train. We hopped on the train when the time came and the boys and I went to go find a compartment. We spent most of the time reading, talking and playing exploding snap.

"So, Tonksie, what are doing during the holidays?" Sirius asked.

"Nothing, probably just being a pig and eating everything in the fridge."

"Oh, I totally forgot to mention, do you guys want to come to my place during the holidays, maybe for a week? I can ask mum and dad about it and send the details to you by owl." James said.

We all thought that sounded great and felt a bit happier with the fact that we would see each other at least once during the summer break.

The train rolled into the platform and we hopped off to go home. I saw my parents straight away and ran to them with my arms open. I had forgotten how much I had missed them.

"Can I quickly say bye to my friends?" I asked my mum.

"Sure honey, of course."

"Well boys, this is goodbye for a while." I said whilst I strolled up to them.

"I'm going to miss you so much Tonksie!" Sirius said in a really girly voice.

We all went into a group hug that lasted four minutes and only broke up because we were tapped on the shoulder by my mum who said we had to leave.

"Ok, I'll be right there!" I said to her. "See you guys! Love you guys!"

"Love you too Tonks!" They screamed back in unison.

.ever.

AND I LOVED IT! I hope you guys liked it too!

I also thought we should get to know each other a bit better, like what's your favourite book to read when you're sad?

Thanks!
