The next morning, we all went to Diagon Alley to visit Fred and George's shop, where they sold pranks and potions.
The place was popular. Many Wizarding children were there. They had treats that made people's hair static with electricity and treats that made people walk on walls. There were treats that would make you so sick that you could skip classes.
Fred and George walked towards me, Hermione and Ginny. "Hello ladies", The twins said.
"Love potions, eh?" Fred asked. "Yeah, they really do work".
"Then again, the way we hear, Sis, you're doing just fine on your own", George said.
"Meaning?" Ginny asked.
"Are you not currently dating Dean Thomas?" George asked.
"It's none of your business", Ginny said before she walked away.
I looked at the love potions. I grabbed one of the bottles.
"Interested, huh?" Fred asked.
"Um..." I started.
I dropped the bottle when it reminded me of Jack. The bottle shattered on the ground and the potion spilled.
"Are you alright, Sunshine?" George asked.
I didn't answer. I looked at the twins. "Maybe...the love potions aren't for me. They bring back...memories", I said.
Fred and George wrapped their arms around mine. "Let's show you something you'll like", George said. I could tell they understood.
We walked up the stairs. Ron stopped us. "How much are these?" He asked, holding something in his hand.
"Five gallons", The twins said.
"How much for me?"
"Five gallons".
"But I'm your brother".
The twins shrugged their shoulders and said, "Ten gallons".
"How much are the Fainting Fancies?" I asked.
"Five gallons", Fred started.
"But for you..." George said.
"They're free", The twins said.
We walked towards the Fainting Fancies. "Have some of these", George said.
"And you'll be out before you can say, 'Quidditch'", Fred finished George's sentence.
"What about the Darkness powder?" I asked.
"Ah, the real money seller", George said.
We sat on the railing of the stairs and slid down. Fred got onto a latter. The latter rolled towards the darkness powder.
"Trying to make a grand escape?" Fred asked.
"Here's the stuff to do it", George said.
Fred tossed the darkness powder to me. I caught it. Well, it was the shape of a crystal, but I think it turns into powder when you smash it to the ground.
I put the idems in my bag. I pulled out one Fainting Fancies gummy and locked the rest of them and the Darkness powder into my backpack.
"Mind if I try these while one of you say, 'Quidditch'?" I asked.
"Sure", the twins said.
I popped a gummy into my mouth.
"Quid-"

1974
Harley Evans was now on her 3rd year. Lily and the Marauders were on their 4th.
The Marauders sat at the table in the Great Hall. Sirius looks over at Harley, who was reading her book. He looked away when Harley looks at him.
Harley and Sirius haven't spoken in two year.
"Sirius, are you listening?" James asked.
Sirius looks at James, Remus and Peter. "Of course, I'm listening", Sirius said. His friends looked over at Harley. Harley looked away from them. She went back to reading her book.
James looks at Sirius. "Talk to her, Sirius", he said.
"I can't. She hates me", Sirius said.
"She can't still be mad at you", Remus said. Sirius doesn't say anything.
"Do you think he likes her?" Peter asked James.
"Of course he likes her", James said.
Remus looked at Harley. "Evans!" He shouted.
"Shush, Remus", Sirius said.
James joined Remus. Sirius laid his head on the table in embarrassment. Harley walked towards the four boys.
"What is it?" Harley asked. She sounded annoyed.
"Wanna help us?" James asked, pointing at a piece of parchment. What was on the parchment, caught Harley's interest.
"Is that..Hogwarts?" Harley asked. "And...Dumbledore?"
"Yes, it is", James said.
"And secret entrances", Harley said. "Oh, don't forget the one behind the statue of Gregory Smarmy". The Marauders looked at Harley with either shocked or impressed expressions. "On the fifth floor".
"Look at you, Harley Evans. You might be able to join our crew", Sirius said.
"After you stop bullying Severus. Like it or not, he's my friend", Harley said. She grabbed her books. "That's all I can do to help. See you in the common room".
Harley walks away. Sirius ran after her. "Evans!" He called out. They were both out of the Great Hall when Harley stopped and looked at Sirius.
"I'm sorry that I sent Snivellous to the Shrieking Shack that night", Sirius said.
"Go on", Harley said.
"It was meant to be a joke, but I didn't realize that he could have died", Sirius said. "It was quite foolish".
"Yeah, it was, Sirius", Harley said.
"I didn't realize how you would feel if something happened to him", Sirius said. "And that was selfish".
"That too", Harley agreed. "You know I can't forgive you, Sirius".
"I know", Sirius said.
Harley walked towards him. "But it doesn't mean I hate you", She said. Harley kissed Sirius on the cheek. She gave him a small smile before she walked away.
