"Did Bella actually returned?"

September 2nd, 1975

"5 points from Gryffindor, for each one of you" Slughorn said as he was shaking his hand in front of his mouth trying to breath some fresh air and see what was happening.

It was another usual first day on Hogwarts. Their lessons for the day ended with Potions. Sirius and Electra had decided not to break the tradition. After all, this was going to be the last time they could ruin their potion in the beginning of school year. None of them would take potions ever again. Their interests were turned elsewhere. Electra wanted to be professional quidditch player and at the same time a wand maker and work next to Ollivander while Sirius was thinking of starting a band and being an Auror. Of course as Minnie had noted various times the aurors should know about potions but he was insisting that he would think about it later on.

The smell of something burning and all this smoke was coming from Sirius's and Electra's cauldron. "And now get out go clean yourselves up" Slughorn said rolling his eyes at the two kids. He knew that he had to do something about them but no matter how many times he had separated them they would always find a way to ruin the potions. And he knew that it would be better having one potion ruined than two.

Sirius took Electra's hand and held her outside the classroom where they both started laughing frantically.

"I told you not to put this in!" He said while they were laughing. They looked in the hallway noticing that some people had begun entering the other classes and started walking towards the bathrooms.

"I don't believe that we're going through the same thing every year!" The girl replied as they were starting walking down the corridor. Sirius rested his arm around El's shoulders having everyone glancing at them. Every girl was dying for a wink from Sirius even if he was covered with smoke all over and everyone was desperate for a smile from Electra, not because of her beauty but because of fear after what they have heard about the girls in the train casting and being the mind of every prank operation the Marauders did.

"Well, this is our last year... You know it. We had to do something HUGE!" Sirius said and started thinking what they could have done instead of just ruining the potion. "You know what El... Maybe that wasn't good enough. I think the next time we have to set the whole room on fire."

Electra shook her head in agreement after thinking a little bit about it. "Yes... That was nothing. But well after that Lily will never forgive me."

"And she's going to be even more mad with Prongs... Yes let's just try setting something else on fire." Sirius said "for example" he shook his wand and the robe of a boy from Slytherin walking in front of them caught fire. Sirius stood there surprised as Electra looked around wondering if anyone had seen it. "Wow... I never thought that this would actually work!" Sirius said surprised and smiled at himself earning a judging look from Electra. "Okay sorry!" He lifted his hands in the air in a surrender move.

She rolled her eyes at him "Aquamenti" she whispered and the robe of the Slytherin got wet but the fire went out. "And I thought that you wanted to be an Auror... How are you going to protect the wizarding world like this?" She said sarcastically at his friend.

"I mean... He's a Slytherin. The only Slytherins I like happens to be Andromeda, Regulus and your brothers. The rest of them are terrible. And using Snivellous as an example-" he started but he cut off by something that shocked him.

"What's go-" Electra spoke but Sirius closed her mouth with his palm and pointed towards to four people talking. "Is she?" El asked whispering not wanting to be heard. Sirius shook his head. In front of them there was Bellatrix. She was addressing to Lucius and their brothers. Both Regulus and Orpheus seemed to be captivated by what she was saying because they were really calm and their eyes were shining. "Let's go listen what they're saying" the girl said and started moving on her tiptoes but Sirius grabbed her from the wrist pulling her back.
