Thanks to the reviewers! Next day update! im so proud of myslef :D x

Why do Sortings take so long?

I'll have to look into that. Maybe Hannah will know but I suppose, knowing her she'll come out with a sarcastic/snide remark about my intelligence… I mean come on! I'm writing a book! Oh Hannah… you can do better than that!

Anyways…the sorting. So long. What a bummer. But there was some quality, and when I say quality... I mean quality, like so quality, time almost went in slo-mo, yeah... quality ogling time available so it wasn't that bad.

When it finally ended I ate. A lot.

"Stop being such a pig… you know the way you eat and act is linked to your intelligence." Hannah remarked. Typical Hannah. What a babe.

"Thanks," I replied dryly. "And I suppose that means my intelligence is scruffy and like to eat like everything."

"Not 'like everything'… everything."

"That doesn't make sense."

"Neither does your face." What has happened? Since when was I the voice of reason in this weird foursome? I shared a weird look with Beth, tuning out Roisin's obsessive moaning about her boyfriend who really just does not compare to my 'bagsie' as I have taken to call him.

"ANYWAY, I thought you said you were dying your hair. Liar!" Beth diminished, talking over Roy.

"Yeah, sorry about that, mum blew up at me when I even mentioned I wanted to get some proper underwear, you know like what Roy wears and anyway whenever Danny talks about his girlfriend and her roots mum does this weird sort of pouty disapproving face. Not like she can do anything, he may be her son but he's eighteen now so... you know bummer for her and all."

"Ooh don't even get me started on Danny. Mmm! Too good!"

"Shut up Beth, he's my brother and that is repulsive. Fact."

"Well he is fit and it's painful that he's three years older than me. Fact."

"You're both idiots. Fact."

"Go away Hannah your too mean these days…" I leant forwards as did the others. "Is it your time of the month?"

"NO! Merlin can't I just be angry? You're so annoying! FACT!" she shouted, getting up and moving away. We all shared a look and simultaneously looked over to where she went, further down the table to her boyfri- I mean Lorcan. (Boyfriend).

"Whats got her knickers in a twist?" I asked the others in a whisper.

"Dunno. Roy?... Care to venture a guess?" Beth asked.

"Maybe she doesn't like us anymore. We are kinda stupid." She ventured.

"Hey! No I'm not! ...What? I'm writing a book so its proof I'm clever!" I argued, pouting.

"…"

"Shut up." I resumed my scoffing, kinda mad at Hannah and her random outburst.

"Don't worry about it Eve, she can be quite a bitch sometimes."

"Never like this though." I muttered, frowning.

"Miss Gallagher! Come here please!"

"How am I already in trouble? I can't have detention! MUM WILL KILL ME! Like 'chop my head off and roast it then eat it in front of my dead, mangled body' kill!" My friends rolled their eyes at my dramatics. Meanies.

"Gallagher!" He called again. I slumped my shoulders and dragged my feet over to him.

"Yuh?" I asked moodily. "What've I done this time?" Longbottom smiled and didn't reply instead called over James Potter.

"Hey Neville. Oh er… mum wanted me to… y'know send her love or whatever." I choked on my spit a little bit, going into a half laughing half choking fit.

"Huhhh… sorry carry on, so your mum sent her love…?" I trailed off with a grin on my face at his moody expression.

"Hey! I saved you so you owe me!" He argued.

"And we'll get onto what I owe you another time." I flirted, winking. Nevs cleared his throat.

"Sorry to interrupt…" He apologized sarcastically. What a coolio.

8. Coolio = cool person.

"But I just wanted to say that because of your... excel in D.A.D.A. last year Gallagher, your going to the sixth years class, to fulfil your... full potential. I hope it won't be too bad-."

"You know you love me Nevs, you just can't say it because that would be inappropriate." I heard James snicker besides me.

"-And I hope you won't cause too much trouble for the new teacher, as not to cause stress and end up in another detention Gallagher!"

"Lies! I do not get into that many detentions!"

"You got one for each day you were here except three lucky days you were not punished with it and on several occasions you had detention pile ups… explain that." I was silent now, moody. I crossed my arms and glared.

"Cool. So... what's this to do with me?"

"You'll be helping her adjust; you will walk her to the lesson and make sure she stays out of trouble and you'll be partners."

"But professor, by the sound of it I'm always nearly in detention too- oh Merlin that's where I know you from! Remember like two years ago we were detention buddies for like months!"

"Oh! Your right! Oh that was so fun! And we used to- yeah, actually, probably shouldn't talk about it here." He nodded in conformation, sparing a glance to Nevs.

"Anyway I'm nearly always in detention too." He told Nevs smirking sexily… or maybe just smirking but it was sexy so…

"Yes maybe but you aren't that bad in lessons, only out of."

"Cool. See you tomorrow then Eggs." Said James, walking away.

"Wait how did you kn-?" but stopped as he wasn't in sight anymore. I ran to catch up with him; realising Nevs had slipped off at one point. I ran and ran until I got to just before the portrait where he was striding. I caught my breath and walked casually up to him.

"How did you know that was my nickname?" I asked suspiciously, looking up at him. He ran a hand through his hair, smirking… once again sexily; I should just call it sexiking yeah ok then:

9. Sexiking = sexily smirking.

"I'm a brilliant observer. Worked it out anyway: Eve I-don't-know-what-your-middle-name-is Gallagher. Egg is weird though so its eggs. Makes sense."

"My middle name is Galina. I swear my mum hates me." I told him grimacing.

"Nice." He commented with a snort.

"Hey! Dont be mean!" He snorted a laugh again.

"Sorry."

"It's not nearly as interesting as Sirius though is it?"

"Hey... how do you know my middle name?" I felt my face heat up astronomically and I looked at the floor in shame.

"Doesn't everybody?" I muttered, scratching the side of my face.

"Nope." He told me sexiking.

"Well… see you tomorrow then! Fairies!" I told the Fat Lady desperatly as I ran in the common room.

"Wait!" He called after me but I was already rushing up the stairs in embarrassment.

"Come on girlies! Breakfast time!" Hannah had mysteriously disappeared over night or something so it was just us three walking arm in arm.

"Gallagher?" A deep voice said from behind me once we were sitting and eating. I turned around and once he saw me he laughed. "What the hell are you eating?" He asked peering at my plate with a smile on his face.

"Bacon and maple syrup." I muttered. "Its good." He raised a sceptical eyebrow at me which I ignored.

"Well you've some syrup on your face."

"I know." I told him wiping at my mouth. I did know… I swear.

"Sure… anyway you done?" He asked, re-positioning the bag on his shoulder.

"Yup, let's go." I stood up smiling at him. He started to walk and before following I looked back at my friends who gave me thumbs up I grinned and wiggled my eyebrows before running to catch up with him. He was at the top of a staircase and I ran the rest of the distance, I kept on running a little to fast and effectively tripped over my own feet when I got to him. I screeched as I fell down and snapped my eyes shut but the impact from the bottom of the stairs never came. I opened them slowly to find James holding onto me and dangerously close to dropping me too. He yanked me back and I slammed into his chest which did nothing to slow my heartbeat.

"You really need to slow down you know. Are you ok?" He asked moving my head so I looked up at him. "You didn't fall on the way aswell did you?" He asked with a small grin. I shook my head mutely.

"I have fallen down the stairs once, that's what Longbottom was talking about when he said I had three days off. I fell and yeah." I told him, stepping back and picking my fallen bag up. I started walking again and he followed. "It was pretty scary actually, it was the main staircase and I tripped… well over my own feet embarrassingly. I'm pretty sure you heard about it actually most people did-."

"Oh Merlin was that you? What was it… you go a concussion and broke you arm or something?"

"Yup, my arm… left one unfortunately and I had to stay in the hospital wing for three days, the 'lucky' days. Mum was furious at me," I remembered smiling. "She said I wasn't 'allowed my pocket money because I was so clumsy I would end up buying a pack of condoms and would fall onto a man's dick and have a baby'. Her exact words, I'm not even making it up! She's granazy!"

10. Granazy = so crazy it's like a grenade blowing up in your face.

He laughed loudly and for quite a while until we got to the Charms corridor. Only now were the corridors starting to pack with students. "We are now DADA partners for life now did you know that?" He shook his head laughing. "Well we are! Also why did you get me early anyway?" I asked him.

"Dunno, quality time?" He ventured making me giggle. "It's been good. I've got a few questions for you though so we'll get onto those when we start the practical ok?" I nodded and saluted him before going into the classroom and sitting down, followed closely by James, who tried to steal my book from me as I updated it from today's events.
