The next day i woke up to the wind wailing outside, i looked at my watch, it was only six thirty, i sighed and threw my head back on my pillow, but however much i tossed and turned i just could not get back to sleep. I sat up, ignoring the headrush i got, walked to my trunk and put my uniform on, i grabbed my bag and walked out of the common room.

I tiptoed through the castle and found myself outside, i wrapped my cloak further around me as the wind blew me around, maybe this wasn't such a great idea after all.

But i carried on anyway and got to the beech tree by the lake, i climbed on to the lowest branch and picked out a book from my bag, then hanging upside down i began to read. the sun was rising more now and it looked pretty upside down, i was admiring the view when voices caught me off guard, they was coming closer and i listened to what they were saying,

'you can't just push people over because they're ugly' it was sirius voice, i panicked being upside down and all, ment it was hard to think atall, so much blood was in my head, then another voice drifted over

'why not, I think that it's a great reason too' It was James, Great just who i wanted to see at seven o'clock in the morning, i held my book closer to my face

'No face it, prongs, you failed, so much failure, mountains of failure, there was so much failure that-'

'ok, sirius, i get it, i failed' the voices seemed to be next to me now

'What do we have here, a book worm upside down' Damn he spotted me, i looked over, or should i say under, i don't know my mind is empty because not only am i upside down but sirius black is standing in front of me and if it is possible. he looks so much better upside down.

'Why are you upside down?' james asked

'Err' i said in an unusual squeaky voice, what is wrong with me, i need to get over myself 'I'm secretly a bat?' i asked hopefully

'It all makes sense now!' James said in mock surprise, i rolled my eyes and gave him evils

'She's gone all shy because of our great looks' oh Merlin, is he reading my mind, because if he is, Merlin save him, for it may make him insane. He winked at me, i think i stopped breathing, and i defiantly fell from the tree, and landed with a thud on my bum. James and Sirius laughed

'Ow' i said wincing

'Are you alright' Sirius asked, holding in his laughter

'I don't know... I don't feel smart anymore' i said trying to think, my head was really light headed from being upside down for so long

'Awh, don't worry, you were never smart' He replied soothingly

'Wow, thanks, that is the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me' i said sarcastically

'And that is the longest sentence you have ever said to me without stuttering' Sirius replied smirking, i felt myself go bright red, i stood up, grabbed my bag from where it had fallen stuffed my book in it and wandered back to the castle, over the bridge and into the entrance hall, i recomposed myself before walking into the great hall and joining Jake and Lissa at our usual spot on the Ravenclaw table.

'What's wrong with you? you look like you've seen a -' she grinned 'Sirius'

'Eugh' i said before hitting my head on the table, a daily occurrence at the moment.

'Defence is next and you know what that means?' Jake said far to happily for my liking, i groaned louder, and looked up

'I didn't stammer once in front of him today, but i did fall out of a tree, can we swap places i'd rather sit by Pettigrew today, it'd save me humiliating myself more than i already have'

'No can do i'm afraid, Professor Hale wont let us change, and anyway' Lissa hesitated 'I'm growing rather, err, attached to our dear little pettigrew' she said sounding like she hated herself for saying it.

'You're all plotting against me and i hate you all' I grabbed a piece of toast, as the other two stood up and we all walked out of the hall, off to an hour of stuttering and knocking things continuously off my desk.

'Freya?' Jake said poking me in the rib

'Hm?' i said while eating my toast

'Try not to cover the classroom in ink again, and don't slip over in it again if you do, ok?' he said wisely, i showed him my middle finger kindly and gave him an innocent smile, i heard a scoff from down the hall, Sirius was in his usual place leaning against the wall opposite the door to the classroom,

'oh that was a classic, she was covered in ink for the rest of the day' He said coyly, i groaned

'Thanks, Jake, truly!' i lent on the wall and slid down it sitting on the floor, but i yelped and stood up again, i appear to have hurt my bum more than i knew, Sirius snorted again, i glared at him, why, oh why couldn't he have got the ugly gene? James swaggered around the corner looking bewildered, he ruffled his hair and i had the urge to kick him, but i kept my cool.

'Dude, pinch me i think i'm dreaming' he said to sirius, he looked high, i had once told him not to pick wild mushrooms, i don't think he listened to me...

'What's up James?' he asked

'Lily, she- she' but he just stood there with his mouth open

'For Merlins sake she what?' i asked

'She - she asked me to Slughorns party' i sat down quickly, ignoring the sharp pain from my bum, that - that traitor...

'But The giant squid was meant to be a professor before this happened and he was not at the staff table this morning' i said sadly

'You're bonkers' sirius said incredulously

'And proud' i said, he rolled his eyes, i sighed and looked around, Lily was walking along the hall looking sheepish. i stood up and rushed to her.

'How could you!' i whisper shouted

'How could i what?' she asked back

'Ask bloody potter to slughorn's party, you bloody hate him as much as moaning myrtle bloody moans' too true...

'He's not being to bad to me at the moment and now you'll have to ask black' she said mischievously, raising her eyebrows suggestively

'When i see a house elf with knickers on its head, i'll ask him, he doesn't even like me so what's the bloody point i need to get the hell over him' i turned around marched back to the classroom door

'What was that about, Griffin?' Sirius asked me with a grin

'House elves wearing pants on their heads, y-you know the usual' Ah there is my old friend, the stutter. So much for getting over him, Sirius smirked, i looked away and hurried in the door as Professor Hale allowed us in, i ran over to the back corner seat and sat down, sirius sat next to me in his allocated seat, i groaned inwardly, and moved anything i would knock over away from me. Sirius watched me. i smiled as everything was too far away to knock over. I looked at Lissa who was walking infront of us, she turned around and placed a note on the table. and hurried off to sit by Peter Pettigrew, bringing out an identical peice of parchment out.

'So, embarrassed your self already?' i read, i rolled my eyes and moved the note as sirius tried to grab it, i picked up my quill and jotted back

'No but give it ten minutes maximum'

'i wouldn't give you five'

'thanks for the confidence you have in me and everything'

'Oh you're welcome'

'and i thought you loved me'

'oh i do, you're the only one for me and always will be'

'glad to hear it, although i don't swing that way, sorry to disappoint' at this sirius snorted and burst out laughing, i slapped his arm, i kind of wish i hadn't for two reasons number one, my hand maybe broken and number two, i'm having to control my drooling over his muscly arms. i couldn't hold my quill for the rest of the lesson so i lay my head in my arms on the desk, and was continuously poked by sirius,

'When you've quite finished i have a date with sleep, that i simply must attend, thank you, go away'

'Well i'm sure i'll be in you're dreams anyway' I can't argue with that, he probably will, i lent back down on the desk, closed my eyes and then the bell rang, i groaned before standing up

'What day is it?' i asked sirius as i packed my bag

'A bloody miracle of one, you didn't drop anything for once'

'Galloping Gargoyles your right! yay!' i said grinning, but i turned serious after a second 'No really what day is it?'

'thursday'

'Brilliant, no more lessons until astronomy at midnight, fair well' and then i ran off before i could embarrass myself, I joined Lissa and Jake in the common room who were sitting on the sofas infront of the fireplace, i stood infront of them looking at the statue behind them of Rowena ravenclaw, then i looked back at my friends,

'i gather you here today, to-'

'you'd better not be marrying us, because i spend enough time with him, without all that commitment crap' Lissa said smiling

'Yeah' Jake said nodding

'Don't be silly you have to get some sort of certificate to do that, or something' i want to look into that i could go around marrying people together, just for fun. i'd start with Snape and filch.

'Maybe' Lissa said 'Anyways, we are gathered here today?'

'Yes, I have gathered you here today, or found you here, same difference-'

'not really'

'shut up, Jake'

'ok'

'-here today, to tell you of a most wonderful miracle that has taken place, it is the best news and will stay with me for ever more'

'you're pregnant!' lissa gasped

'Sirius is the father' jake said laughing

'Shut up, no, i am not pregnant and sadly sirius shall never father my children, because he does not like me, however i did not knock anything over or embarrass myself, only possibly broken my hand!' i said excitedly

'Wow, our little Freya's growing up' Lissa said soothingly, i stuck my tongue out and walked out of the common room, My too do list was now beginning, number one, find a date for Slughorn's party, and number two, get over Sirius Black.

The rest of the day passed by slowly, i had gone down to the quiddich pitch, had i mentioned that i was the Ravenclaw Quidditch captain, well i am, and i'm also a seeker, James is on the Gryffindor team, he's a chaser, not to bad, we just don't get on anymore. we used to be inseparable. but that was a long time ago,

We grew up a few houses away from each other, having both had older parents than usual, they would often meet up for tea or dinner, we were about four when we had first met, We would always play in either of our gardens, as the years went by, there wouldn't be a day that went by that we wouldn't meet up and do something, we would always love to fly around on our toy broomsticks and pretend to be in real games of quidditch, it was the year before we were to go to hogwarts, there was a fire at our house one night, the minestry suspected arson, my mum and dad had been well known auror's, before they got old and had me, that night my mum died in the fire, dad had put it out, but sinse that day i began to refuse to see James, and then one day we met in diagon alley getting our school supply's we both said some hurtful things, and well, things just haven't been the same since, James still doesn't know about my mum, nobody does, but i get to leave the school every January the 22nd to go to her grave with dad.

Well that is the depressing story out of the way, i try and stay positive because that's what mum would have wanted, dad says i'm alot like her when she was my age, it makes me happy to think i'm like her.

i walked from the quidditch pitch holding my broomstick and taking my gloves off, i got into the entrance hall and decided i wanted to have quidditch trials on saturday, i comfirmed a time to use the pitch with madam hooch, then i ran up to the common room, answered the riddle, letting in a first year who was stuck, and grabbing a peice of parchment, i wrote in massive letters that got smaller and smaller as i couldnt fit them all in otherwise,

'Ravenclaw Quidditch Tryouts, If you're in second year and above and want to try out for the team come to the pitch on saturday at eleven am, i warn you, it will be no easy sailing, pirate, and i won't be kind to you, if you're awful, i won't hesitate to tell you, you have been warned, see you at eleven then people, everyone but seekers wanted, laters'

I pinned it to the notice board, and was pleased to see a few people gathered around it, Jake came walking towards me shaking his head,

'What?' i asked him innocently

'That writing, why did you start so big?'

'To grab peoples attention of course'

'Oh right, why didn't i guess!' he said sarcastically

'Because you're stupid'

'Thanks, Freya'

'You're welcome'

Soon it was half eleven and we began to walk to The astronomy tower, where we were given star charts, Astronomy was my favorite lesson, i could sit and stargaze all night, i wrote in all of the chart before just watching the stars shine through my telescope, i sighed happily before we were allowed to go to bed, i didn't want to but it was one in the morning, i mumbled a goodnight to Lily and raced passed Sirius and James, and back to my dormitory for the night.
