ﾟ+..｡*ﾟ+After a night of peaceful sleep, Naina is woken up from her deep slumber by Zara blasting Kiwi on the loudest possible volume keeping the speaker next to her bedside table.
"Zara as much as I love Harry Styles please SHUT IT DOWN" the half asleep girl exclaimed throwing a pillow at Zara who was busy painting her nails while singing along to the song.
"C'mon Naina, get up, you're already late to breakfast" says Marlene cleaning up her sheets.
Naina bolts up from her bed shrieking and cursing Zara in hindi about not waking her up early (tripping in the process) who merely chuckled at the girl's clumsiness.
"Noons, I give you-" Zara states checking her watch
"15 minutes to go take a quick shower and wear your robes before I'll have to throw you over my shoulder and down the stairs" she continues while painting her left hand nails black.
After Naina is done freshening up in 14 minutes 57 seconds (Much to Naina's relief she wasn't thrown down the stairs) the three girl reach the Gryffindor common room meeting Lily, Alice and then headed to the great hall for breakfast.
Zara who rarely followed the school rules, had her cloak in her left hand, her hair were held up in a messy ponytail which despite being messy, still looked great. Her white shirt tucked into her skirt, two top buttons open, her tie hanging loosely to her shirt collar and her wand shoved inside her skirt pocket.

"Good Morning y'all" Zara says earning a chorus to 'Good mornings' from the other girls whilst taking her seat next to Lily, Naina took hers opposite to Zara while Marlene took her's next to the lily and Alice took her's on Marlene's left aka next to Frank Longbottom.
"Morning Ladies" greets Sirius sitting next to Zara, at Sirius' this gesture Naina wriggles her eyesbrows at Zara as she rolls her eyes.
James, Remus and Peter also wish them and James took his usual spot which was opposite to Lily (it annoyed Lily) and Remus took his next to Naina while Peter took his next to Sirius.
"What lessons do y'all have today?" asks Marlene.
"Umm, Transfiguration, Potions, Care of Magical Creatures and Herbology" Says Zara going through her timetable.
"Same" "Same" "Same" "Same" "Same" "Same" "Same" "I guess we'll all be together for the test of the day" Marlene says noticing that all of the had the same classes.

Transfiguration with the Hufflepuffs went good and now, the whole group was on it's was to the dungeons for the Potions class with Horace Slughorn. Zara called him Sluggy.
Zara entered the classroom followed by the others, her cloak was still in her left hand.
She took her seat next to Naina who already wanted to leave the classroom. To say that Noons was bad at Potions, was an understatement.
The Marauders were behind her and we're pointing at Severus Snape, a greasy haired Slytherin with an abnormally long nose and had greasy hair, did I mention greasy hair? Anyways, the four boys were pointing at him and breaking into fits of laughter.
"Hey Malik, you free tonight ? Wanna spend a night together? Can give you some fun.." Asked Marcus Pucey, a lizard-faced Slytherin who, Zara personally loathed.
she says "Well, Mr. Ugly Lizard face Pucey, I have some important shit to do than shooing away lizards" she gave him a disgusted look while making a 'shooing' action as if shooing away some insect.
Zara was extraordinary, her family wanted her to be perfect. As a result she was quite good at wandless magic. She levitated Pucey's and his partner's ink pots and with a simple snap of her finger, all the ink inside the pot was poured over him, making everybody present in the room double over with laughter.
James, Sirius, Naina and Marlene were literally on the floor. Lily who hated the boy ever since he started making snarky comments about the Zara was beaming at her.
Slughorn cleared his throat and began to speak. " Good Morning students, as many of us know this is your O.W.L.s year, You all will have to get either Exceeds Expectations or Outstanding in your assessments this year, so you all will be paired up as a group of two and will be working on different potions. I will be pairing you up and you can discuss with your partners and select your potions!" He explained.
He then began to pair people up.
"Chang and Pennyvine, Clearwater and Smith, Jordan and Casper, Styles and Tomlinson, Lupin and Talwar-" and Zara zoned out after Naina got up and took her place next to Remus offering him a beaming smile while he was red in the face.
"Potter and Evans, oh that leaves Miss Malik and er Black" he says
"Hello Malika" Black says taking his seat next to Zara, sending her a flirtatious smirk and a wink.
Zara merely rolled her eyes, and took out her book.
"What potion are you lot making ?" Asked a beaming James who looked as if Christmas came a few months before whilst Lily beside him looked like she would like to be anywhere but there.
"Amortentia" says Sirius while Zara suggests "Veritaserum"
"Why in the name of Merlin's Broomstick do you want to make Amortentia !?" Asked Zara, curious about why a Love Potion.
"Why, are you scared you'll smell me in the Love Potion, Malik ?" he says, a taunting grin plastered on his face.
"Why, are you scared that I might drop some truth potion in your morning Pumpkin juice and make you spill your darkest secrets, Black ?" She retorted a biger smirk making its way to her soft cherry lips.
"As if" he grumbles crossing his arms at his chest and pouting.
"What potion are you and Mister Black making, Miss Malik ?" Asks Sluggy
"Verita-" Zara is cut off by Sirius liteally shouting the Potions name at Slughorn's face.
"AMORTENTIA"
"Okay, mister Black, just don't shout it at my face" he mutters scribbling something on a piece of parchment
Zara gives Sirius a look and opens her book and starts making notes.
