I had been walking around the grounds for an hour and a half. Lessons began in half an hour, so i began to walk slowly back up to the school. The weather was getting colder, and a layer of fog was covering the grass and steel coloured lake. It really did look wonderful.

It was a Thursday which of course meant i had the afternoon off until astronomy at midnight, i made my way up to the defence against the dark arts room, i pushed past a group of Hufflepuff's and went to the door, Sirius was yet again leaning in his usual place, on the wall.

'Hey' i said leaning on the opposite wall to him

'Hi' he said in a bored voice, i frowned but looked away, didn't sound much like he wanted to talk to me. Lissa ran at me and jumped, i screamed as she landed on top of me, on the floor. Sirius chuckled.

'It's not funny, she weighs a ton' i said pushing her off me

'I do not!' she said standing up and helping me up too, i rolled my eyes

'Are too, you way more than a hippogriff' i said as i Lent against the wall again

'You weigh more than the giant squid' she replied, i gasped dramatically while she smirked

'Well, you weigh more than a whole herd of centaurs' i retorted giving her a smug look, and crossing my arms 'Anyway, why did you run at me and knock me over?' i asked, she grinned and looked at Sirius and back to me

'What?' i asked, as she looked at us both again, sirius raised an eyebrow

'You'll never guess what peter told me' she said throwing Sirius a meaningful look, he shifted slightly and began to listen in

'What, and since when does peter talk to you?' i asked her bemused

'Well he does since i bribed him with bacon' she said, i just nodded

'so what did he say?' i asked her curiously

'Only that a certain someone came back last night and told them all that he has a massive-' she was saying before Sirius barged in between us

'Hey ladies, lovely morning?' he said

'He has a massive what?' i asked loudly, a few people snickered 'Oh grow up' i shouted to them all, even though i was laughing myself.

'A massive-'

'So what are you two doing for your frees today?'

'Quiddich, and Lissa, a massive?'

'A-'

'oh cool i might come and-' Sirius said quickly

'Sirius!' Lissa and i shouted at him, Lissa looked smug, i frowned.

'Seriously, can you not stay quite for five minutes?' i asked him, he shrugged, and then smiled

'oh dear' Lissa said happily

'You're smiling because i said seriously, aren't you?' i asked, he nodded, and then winked at me, i swooned, i'm surprised the giant squid didn't see, i also went about three different shades of red, i looked away from him just as the door opened and Professor Hale let us in.

I almost ran to my seat, and sat down quickly before a third of the class had even come through the door, i picked some things from my bag and put them on the table. Sirius sat next to me, he glanced at me. I think i was still red, very red so i looked out of the closest window and doodled on a piece of parchment. Sirius nudged me after about half an hour, i jumped and my inkwell fell off the table, but being the best seeker in the school, i mean i'm not going to lie am i...

Well anyway, i caught it quickly and placed it back on the table, i don't know what has happened but i seem to have gone back to nutty Freya around Sirius Black, i wonder if i'm going to stutter again, i hope not.

'Yes?' i asked him, Yay i didn't stutter, although that was only one word. i looked up at the ceiling, there was a big iron chandelier, how have i never noticed this?

'That, Connor, Keiran, Bob, Tom guy is trying to get your attention' he replied i looked down from the ceiling and looked at Sirius, i swear he gets better looking each time i see him.

'That guy, who you were talking about before, when we were locked in the cupboard' he said

'I still blame you' i muttered

'How many times, i forgot you cant open them from the inside without a key or a wand' he murmured frustratedly, hitting his head onto the desk.

I looked around the class and saw Kenneth staring at me with a cold expression. Oh yeah, i hadn't spoken to him since i never showed up. Awkward Roman. He threw a piece of paper at my head and i caught it, i opened it and read,

Freya, thanks for standing me up and all, and also for telling me afterwards why you stood me up. Surly it wouldn't have been hard to come up to me and apologize for keeping me waiting for two hours. i thought you were cool Freya Griffin, but i was wrong. Forget the Hogsmead trip, i don't want to talk to you again, An acquaintance, Kenneth

I stared at the paper for a moment and then looked back at Kenneth, he was facing the front, i sighed and looked at Sirius who was looking at me from the desk, i frowned at him and hit his arm hard

'ow, what the hell?' he said rubbing his arm where i had hit him 'it still tingles'

'Good, you ruined everything between me and Kenneth because of that bloody cupboard incidence' i said to him in a whisper, he smiled slightly and then tried to hide it

'Good' he said after a pause

'Good?' i said questioningly, the bell rang and i began to pack my stuff away

'Yeah good' he said packing his stuff away too

'Why is it good?' i asked 'You think it's good that you ruined the friendship between me and someone else?' i asked frustratedly

'Yeah i do, know why, because Kenneth isn't who you think he is, he may act all charming to you, but i know what he's truly like' Sirius said to me as we made our way out of class

'And how's that?' i asked him back dodging around people going to classes

'He's a Parkinson, a pureblood slytherin, all the pureblood slytherin family's meet in gatherings, he is sly, and a bloody moron' he continued

'sure you're not on about his brother?' i asked

'Jeremy Parkinson is a bloody angel at these balls and dinners compared to him' Sirius explained

'How do i know you're telling the truth?' i asked

'I wouldn't lie about it, why would i?' he asked, i thought about it for a moment

'Thanks for telling me and everything' i said as we reached the entrance hall 'I'm going out to play some quiddich'

'I may join you' he replied

'You don't play quiddich, you're scared of flying' i stated offhandedly, Sirius looked at me incredulously

'How did you know that? have you been stalking me?' he asked jokily, yes i have, i mean, of course not..

'No, you wish, but the day of the match, you were on the broom, you were gripping the handle like there was no tomorrow, and i could practically feel the wave of relief that went over you as you got back on the ground' i said

'You're quite observant really' he stated, only when it comes to you

'not really, i spend most of my time in my alternate universe where i live upside down in the sky and where my mu-' i cut myself off, and looked to the ground 'its all colourful and a nice place to escape to' i finished, Sirius was looking at me oddly, as if trying to figure me out, i swallowed hard and walked towards the quiddich pitch, Sirius on my heel

'You know, i don't know a lot about you' Sirius said 'You're a bit of a puzzle, and i'm missing a few pieces'

'yes and i have those pieces hidden in my ultinate universe, never to be found by anyone, there are things about me that not even Lissa knows about' i said

'How come James knows so much about you?' Sirius asked

'We grew up about two houses away from eachother' i explained

'Really? then did you move or something?' He asked, i shook my head

'nope'

'Oh, did he?' he asked as i opened the storage room, i walked in and called back

'nope'

'so-' he started

'we live practically next to each other, yes' i finished

'then why aren't you two close still?' he asked

'I'd rather not talk about it' i replied, i came back out carrying two brooms, Sirius' eyes widened

'Why do you have two?' he asked nervously

'I am going to teach you to ride with confidence, don't worry we'll only stay at about twenty feet, the most you'll do if you fall is either sprain something or a minor break, nothing madam Pomfrey can't fix' i said throwing a broom at him, he breathed in shakily, and then mounted the broom. then we took off.

Sirius isn't too bad on a broom, we got to about fifty feet in the end. We touched down at Lunch time and i walked into the great hall with Sirius,

'Right, i'll be off to the Ravenclaw table, see you' i said turning to walk towards Lissa and Jake who were talking animatedly, but Sirius grabbed my hand, i swear to Merlin i am never washing my hand again... i wonder if that is why Snape hasn't washed his hair in years, because Lily touched it once... interesting.

'Wait, Freya. Why don't you sit with us?' he said smiling, i was shocked and obviously looked it too, i bet i looked like a startled duck that was sucked by Sirius when i told him to, now i feel sorry for the ducks. actually i don't.

'Do you think it's ok to?' i asked

'oh yeah, no one would notice' Sirius said smiling and dragging me over to the Gryffindor table.

'I adjusted my shirt collar uncomfortably

'Hey' i said awkwardly when we reached the part of the table where the marauders where sitting.

'Hi' Remus said looking up from a book he was reading, i got a squeak off of Peter who appeared to be having a twitching fit and a grunt of acknowledgement off of James, Sirius sat down and motioned for me to sit down next to him, so i did.

'Hey Freya' came the voice of Lily, i turned and saw i was sitting next to her,

'Lily, how's it hanging?' i asked her

'Well, alright, now your the one who hangs about, so i've heard that professor Slughorn is holding a Christmas Ball, its a fancy dress one, like the muggles have, i suggested the theme, it's 'uniforms' like muggle jobs'

'Really, that's awesome, maybe this time i will not get locked in a broom cupboard' i said giving Sirius a glare and looking back towards Lily, i smiled slightly

'I didn't mean to get us locked in there' Sirius said resting his hand on his head and pouting

'You look like a little girl that didn't get her lolly-pop' i said ruffling his hair slightly, he put on a surprised face

'Number one, i don't look like a little GIRL, i look like a little BOY, second, where is my lolly-pop? and third, mess up my hair again and it'll be the last thing you ever do' he said smiling and messing mine up, i laughed and then looked back at Lily

'Deffinatly little girl' i stage whispered to her, she spat out some pumpkin juice she had been drinking, i snorted

'Sirius, now?' James said across the table, i looked at lily who shrugged

'Yeah, defiantly, it's all set up?' Sirius asked back

'Yeah it is' James said, i looked at the two, who looked at Remus, he looked above his book for a second, bit his lip and looked back at his book, only his eyes were not following the line of text as they had been previously. i shrugged and looked back at Lily

'Boys' we said at the same time and laughed

'Now!' James cried, as Lily's eyes widened, and then i was covered in warm sticky smelly melted cheese. i sat there in shock, everyone in the hall was looking at us, i looked at Lily, my eyes started to burn as i tried not to cry, she grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the hall.

'I taught the ungrateful tool to ride a broomstick better, and how does he repay me, he covers me in what smells like years old cheese' i sobbed

'come on, into the prefect bathroom' Lily said dragging us up the stairs, ignoring the weird looks we received off of students. i am allowed to use the prefect bathroom because i'm a quiddich captain, it's a rather luxurious place to be, the best bath ever, it's like a swimming pool.

'we walked into the bathroom, and filled the bath with water. once it was full i jumped in, fully clothed, only problem was, as soon as the cheese hit the water it began to absorb the water and grow in size, i screamed under the water, i swam to the edge and jumped out, i was no longer covered in cheese, but now there was a growing cheese blob in front of us, that got bigger from the water, Lily and i looked at each-other and screamed, we ran to the door only to find it was locked. The marauders had planned this out perfectly.

The blob was growing bigger by the second and gaining on us, i ran to the window and opened it, I really should stop going around with out my wand. There was a window ledge that ran around the building about a persons width, only it was quite high. i stepped on to it and steadied myself, lily stepped onto it after me, we edged our way along the ledge, the wind whipping our hair and making it slightly unsteady.

We got to a window, i looked through it and saw it was an unused classroom, i was about to open the window, when the door opened and peeves the poltergeist came bouncing in knocking over desks, Lily and i quickly shuffled past the window, we heard a faint yell of

'PEEVES' from Filch, i chuckled, good old peeves.

we got to the next window and it was another empty classroom, i tried to open it but found it was locked i swore loudly and went to carry on along the ledge but Lily held my arm, she went into her pocket and pulled out her wand, i stared at her incredulously. The window opened and we stepped inside. i closed the window and rounded on Lily

'You had your wand the whole time?' i asked her, she looked down at it and realisation seemed to dawn on her

'Yeah, oops?' she said shyly

'You know, for someone so clever you're not good in an emergency situation, you should work on that' i said with a sigh, she just chuckled in a small voice

'Sorry, i completely forgot' she said

'Yeah, we just endangered our lives, but actually that was rather fun, i wouldn't mind doing it again, it was rather exillirating' i said opening the door, we walked towards the prefects bathroom and looked around the corner into the corridor, the four marauders were standing there.

'i told you, i haven't heard anything since they screamed' Sirius said in a panicked voice

'Lily wasn't part of the plan, why didn't you stop her' James said

'I didn't want to be part of this James, why the hell did you even think about it, i don't know why i even go along with it' Remus said pacing, Peter just stood at the back of them twitching slightly, Remus looked tired and ill, he often does, poor boy.

Lily and i walked round the corner and past them, i stopped behind them and whispered into Sirius' ear

'I hope you enjoy cleaning up the mess, babe, there is a lot of it' he shuddered and turned around but i was halfway down the corridor, i caught up with Lily and we grinned

'Just one thing Freya' Lily said after a moment

'Yeah?' i said looking at her

'Have a shower, you smell awful' I laughed and nodded

'Defiantly' i said happily 'right i'll see you later, bye'

'bye, Freya'

I walked up the spiral staircase to Ravenclaw tower and answered the riddle letting in three first years who were sitting at the top of the stairs, i walked into my dorm and Lissa looked up from her book,

'Eugh, Freya what is that smell?' she asked holding her hand over her nose

'I got dipped in cheese sauce' i said walking to have a shower.
