Back In Time| S. Black

<16>

'Take a picture that will last long.'

It's already been four weeks since they had been back to Hogwarts. Their lives were almost back to normal or as normal as it could be for them. Their classes started and they started getting homeworks on regular basis. The marauders were back to their regular pranks as well.

However, Sirius was also back to ignoring her and snogging any girl he sees. She was back to her casual hook ups too, extra lessons with Dumbledore were going well as well.

He decided to teach her friendfyre even though it is considered as dark magic. He said that this can destroy the horcruxes because killing the basilisk is not an easy task and someone can die in the process as well. He and Moody have decided on teaching her together and she is able to cast the spell but according to them it needs more improvement. So she practices the spell whenever she gets time.

Now, she is sitting at the transfiguration classroom beside Lily and Sirius and James behind them. They were talking in hushed whispers but McGonagall had already seen them twice by now.

"Mr. Potter, Mr. Black. Would you like to share what you both are talking about? So we all could laugh together?" She asked in her usual stern voice.

"Oh minnie, we were discussing how amazing it would be to enchant this classroom one day to attach the tables and chairs upside down." James snickered, Sirius joining him too.

"Detention both of you." She said with a sigh "Mr. Black, please change seats with Ms. Evans."

"But why professor? I did nothing." Lily exclaimed.

"I know Ms. Evans, but this will stop them from talking and I can't send Mr. Potter with Ms. Lestrange otherwise they will start talking as well." She said with another sigh.

"Okay professor." She mumbled and moved to Sirius' seat and he came and sat beside Kelsie.

"Hello butterfly! Long time no see!" He whispered and opened his book again.

"If you would have stopped dropping your tongue deep down other's throat then you would have noticed me." She said in a cold voice.

His eyes widened but didn't said anything afterwards. The class ended soon and they made their way towards their Herbology class.

James was telling all of them about how he felt when Lily sat near him "It was like millions of butterflies were flying in my stomach, that feeling is something you all should experience once in a lifetime man." He exclaimed in joy.

She froze on her spot but managed to keep her facade as she continued walking again. Remus noticed the change of her behaviour but didn't said anything as she had expected from him.

Soon they reached Herbology class and here too, Sirius was her partner and Lily was James'. He was happy again and she was irritated again. Sirius tried talking to the girl during class but she kept her attention in the class and didn't gave him any chance to speak.

As soon as class ended, she made her way towards the girls and they walked towards the Great Hall together. She had to go to the quidditch practice as well because according to James (their captain) they should start training as soon as possible as they can't risk losing any match. Their next match is supposed to be against the Ravenclaws.

Even though her and Sirius doesn't talk much, they still have a different kind of bonding because of which they never lost a match. They both are beaters for the Gryffindor Quidditch team. Sirius has been playing ever since his third year and she joined during her fourth year. This year Marlene tried out too and she got selected for the position of seeker. James is one of the chaser of the team and he is one of the best that the team had since a long time. She can even play chaser but she choose to be a beater so that she could release all of her pent up anger on the bludgers.
