Don't Let Me Fall ~ A Marauders Era Fic ~ Marlene X OC

Chapter 16

A/N: I edited so many photos for this chapter because I can. So enjoy the endless array of polaroid's!

After the day that both Marlene and Sam bunked off class, and also admitted their love for one another, they had both received detention from a very disappointed McGonagall. "Of all times to not go to lessons, you chose the most important week! NEWTS are soon ladies, I expected more from you two..!" she lectured them. Neither of the girls could care, they were all too happy.

They had barely a month left in school, and even that was filled to the brim with events. Exams, Quidditch, Careers evaluations, and picking out new classes for the next year. "I thought sixth year was supposed to be fun!" Marlene would say on the daily. The two barely saw each other, especially since James was set on winning the Quidditch cup.

Sam was spending most of her days in the library with Lily and Alice. Lily, who had the best grades out of all of them, was the most stressed for the NEWTS. "I'm so behind! I cant remember anything for potions..". "Yes you do, I just tested you this morning, you knew more than I did." Samantha reminded her. "What about Ancient Runes?". "You got those all right too," Alice told her, doodling in her book. "Trust us Lils, your doing great." Samantha told her, putting a hand on her shoulder. "Oh! I need to get a transfiguration book, I'll be right back.." Lily told them, hurrying to the back of the library.

"Last day before Easter break and were studying! Marls is lucky she had a excuse to get out of it." Sam grumbled. "She had quidditch, and I don't think its much of a excuse, James is working them all very hard, he wants to win the cup." Alice mussed. Sam hummed, maybe studying wasnt so bad. "They have a match today, right?" Samantha asked. "Mhm, in three hours.. You think they are going to win?". "I hope so, there's only one more match, they need to win."

"Do you have your camera?" Alice asked. "Yes, why?" Sam asked. "Lets go mess with Lils.." Alice smiled. Sam grinned, grabbing her camera from her bag and sneaking with Alice to where a stressed Lily was searching for a book.

*click!*

Lily looked up, instantly knowing who it was, staring at the girls with a annoyed expression. "Well since your here come and help me look for the book!" Lily said. "Hold still Lils, I want to get another one!"

*click!*

"Perfect!".

"Aha, found it!" Lily said, "Oh give me those!" Lily reached for the photos in Sams hands. "Nope, mine now. These are going in the scrapbook!".

"Oh god, you still have that old thing?" Lily asked. "Well of course, it has six lovely years of memories." Sam said dramatically. Lily rolled her eyes, laughing a bit. Alice and Samantha followed Lily as she walked back to her table to study. "Lily when we get back we'll have days to study, why do it before break?" Samantha asked. "Hey your the one who said you were bored, I didn't force you into the library!" Lily giggled. She wasnt wrong, it was either sit in her dorm until Marlene was done with practice or annoy Lily while she study's, she chose the latter.

"Do you have a pen?" Samantha asked, rummaging around her bag. "No, I have a quill, will that do?" Lily said, raising her eyebrows. "Uh.. Don't know, nevermind, I found one!" she said, holding up a pen.

"Perfect, what do you think Alice?"

Alice looked at the polaroid's in Sams hand, taking one a writing her note, she smiled at the finished product giving Sam a thumbs up. "Let me see.." Lily said giggling, "I look terrible!". "How dare you say that Lily! You look beautiful!" Sam said dramatically. "You've been spending too much time with Sirius."
