CHAPTER 17

The month of January consisted of learning new things, new spells, new potions, new dances, new defenses. It was rather exhausting, but exciting none the less.

During the last week of January, Audrey and Marlene were walking back from the dance studio one evening and found Amelia Dole, Sirius' girlfriend from Ravenclaw, crying in an alcove with her friend.

"Amelia, are you alright?" Marlene asked.

"Sirius broke up with her." Answered Amelia's friend.

"Why?" Audrey asked, alarmed. Sure, she felt terrible for Amelia, but a single Sirius Black wasn't something she wanted.

"I d-d-on't know." Amelia cried, looking up at them. "He j-j-just said that there was someone else."

Audrey and Marlene gave the girl consoling pats on the back.

"Don't worry, every girl in our year in Gryffindor knows he's a git." Audrey reassured.

"Yeah." replied Marlene. "We've got your back."

"Thanks…" Amelia said quietly, giving them a watery smile.

The two Gryffindors set off down the hallway, and not even a few minutes later they spotted a familiar head in the distance. Sirius was snogging another girl.

"YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!" Audrey yelled, pointing down the hallway.

"WHAT AN ASS!" Marlene said, her mouth open in shock, she flourished her wand, but Audrey gave her a look.

"We'll deal with it later; let's go back to the common room and plan." Audrey said, tugging her arm.

The ever so short month of February wasn't as great, it was bitterly cold, and the school was covered in fluffy pink hearts and decorations. The number of snogging teenagers in the area was positively disgusting.

"Oh, Merlin." Audrey said, looking up from her book with a revolted facial expression.

"What?" Severus asked, looking up from his book.

Audrey said nothing but pointed to over his shoulder, where Marcus Flint and Evan Rosier were blowing kisses at her.

Severus made a disgusted face that only Audrey could see.

"Do you want to leave?" He asked.

"Yes, please." Audrey said quickly, not shooting another glance at the two third

years. The two quickly packed up their books, and left the library, briskly walking down the corridor.

They of course, passed Sirius Black on the way, with whoever was his new fling at the moment. Audrey decided she didn't want to keep track, Marlene however did for laughs. Lily also made a tally.

Valentine's Day fell on a Saturday that year and the castle was fluttering with romance and grumpy little wizards dressed in diapers delivering valentines.

Fortunately, for the upperclassmen there was a scheduled Hogsmeade visit. But not everyone had left the school, it was rather chilly and there was over a foot of snow on the grounds. Marlene, Lily, Audrey, and Sarah decided to go out and have a snowball fight, they were joined by Remus, James, and Peter.

Marlene paused for a moment.

"What is it?" Audrey asked.

"I don't know if I want them to join our fight." Marlene said thoughtfully, packing some snow in her hand and making a snowball.

"So? We can always do girls against boys. We'll outnumber them by one." Audrey suggested, grinning.

"Wrong." Marlene said flatly. Audrey gave her a confused look as she pointed over Audrey's shoulder. Sirius Black was strutting through the snow.

"Are we having a snowball fight?" Sirius asked excitedly.

"Gents against ladies." Remus grinned.

"Excellent, this'll be easy." Sirius said, rubbing his hands together. Audrey snorted but he didn't hear.

The wonderful thing about the snow was the lack of visibility…I could use my powers. And no one would realize it.

Ha, yeah… "No one."
I am no one!

It was rather comical, really. The eight of us, the boys on one side, and the girls on the other, made our way towards each other. Marlene and James drew a line in the snow, a battle line. We all stared at each other, putting on our best fierce faces. Of course, I had been stuck across from Sirius, it was as if fate kept pushing me towards him like a magnet. I was the magnet that didn't want to attach, I'm sure if you don't understand now you will later on. Oh how badly I wanted to lose control of my eyes! I wanted to scare him out of his wits!

I don't fancy that much, because wherever she'd be, I'd be. We were magnets of the same polarity. Without question. She was just rebellious, I was made for her and she was made for me. She just didn't want to admit it.

Marlene was across from Remus, who was making an odd face, she was trying not to laugh.

Lily was looking at James, calculating what she was going to do to take him down. James however looked as though he was in heaven, Sirius noticed in his peripheral vision and made a mental note to harass him about that later.

"Alright…" James said. "On three…one…two…"

"THREE!" Everyone yelled, turning and running to the opposite sides, snow began to fly.

They had agreed not to use their wands, but they had never specified wandless magic. Audrey giggled, knowing what to do as she waved her hands outward, creating several snow balls, and then with a flick of her hand, she sent them flying.

She laughed out loud as she saw Sirius and Remus dive in opposite directions, hiding behind a makeshift wall of snow they had made. Marlene was army crawling quickly towards their wall, the unsuspecting boys shouted as she destroyed it with a quick kick and went running back to their side.

Sirius yelled out. "Oi that's not fair!"

"Alls fair in love and war!" Lily replied, an evil smirk forming on her features.

Of course, a few seconds after Lily had yelled that James came running onto the girls side and tackled her to the ground. In retaliation, Marlene had run to the boys side and was chasing Remus, both pelting each other with snowballs.

Sarah army crawled over to Audrey. "This is madness, they can't man handle us like this!"

"You're right." Audrey nodded. "We're not going to let them."

Sarah flashed her a grin as the two huddled together for a plan. They only had to focus on Peter and Sirius, at least half of the two wouldn't be as hard.

Lily had wiggled out of James' grip and was running away from him, Marlene and Remus had stopped chasing each other as Remus had hidden behind a tree and was pelting snowballs at her.

Sirius and Peter were huddled together, just like the two remaining girls.

"What do we do?" Peter squeaked.

"I dunno…" Sirius said thoughtfully. "We'll improvise."

Peter looked nervous, but nodded.

Sarah and Audrey charged the two boys, Peter cowered as Sarah pelted him with snowballs but Sirius quickly dove out of Audrey's way, she didn't slip though. She detected his movements quickly, an evil grin forming on her features. He was sitting up on the ground, quickly backing away. Sirius swept out one leg in an attempt to trip her but she jumped over it quickly. He laughed.

"Nice to see the little musician isn't as prim and proper as everyone thought she was." Sirius grinned.

"Oh I still am, I've just got more wit then most "prim and proper" girls have." Audrey replied, doing air quotations.

"Ahh." Sirius said, still on the ground. He acted quick, bolted up and tackled her to the ground. He was a few centimeters from her face, a mischievous smirk tracing along his features.

Audrey's eyes went white for a moment, she registered this quickly and turned her head away.

"What was that?" Sirius asked, cocking his head trying to look at her eyes. She turned back to him, her irises now present once more.

"What was what?" She asked, lightly shoving him off.

"OI! Come on! They're serving lunch and I'm starving!" James called, as the others murmured in agreement and set off towards the castle. Audrey got up and followed, followed by a perplexed Sirius.
