A few days later, the Gryffinfour were in potions. Aurora didn't want to talk about her fainting situation, and her friends respected her decision. While Aurora was trying to listen to Snape in attempt to not get in trouble with the professor, Harry, Hermione, and Ron began talking about an article that Draco threw at them earlier in Potions.

"Ah, reading magazines in class, are we?" Snape sneered, "I shall deduct ten points from Gryffindor for each of you. But, of course," Snape snatched the article from Harry's hands, "Potter has to keep up with his press cuttings."

The Slytherins roared with laughter, while the Gryffindors glared at them. 

"Harry Potter's secret heartache... dear, dear, Potter? What's ailing you now? A boy like no other, perhaps. I suppose I shall separate you four, yes you too, Lupin-Black, so you can keep your minds on potions rather than your love lives- if, that is, you have any."

At the end of class, Aurora collected her things and met her friends outside the room. 

"Who's he to tell us we don't have a love life?!" Ron complained, "I have a love life!"

"Of course, if you consider making out with your pillow romantic," Aurora replied.

The group continued walking to the Great Hall for dinner, when they heard Snape and Igor Karkaroff talking in hushed voices.

Hermione scolded Ron, Harry, and Aurora for trying to listen in on what they're saying. She dragged Ron and Aurora away to the Great Hall, however, considering she only had two hands Harry was left behind.

After Harry told the other three what their potions professor was saying to the Durmstrang Headmaster, an owl came in through the tower window and delivered it to them.

Harry and Aurora,

Sorry I haven't written to you two in awhile, I've been deep in hiding. I can't say much in case someone finds this, but meet me at the next Hogsmeade trip. The same place as last time.

Love,

Snuffles.

The girl folded the paper up, wondering what he needed.

I don't own Harry Potter. The series belongs to J.K. Rowling. I only own Aurora and anything you don't recognize from the books or movies.
