"THIS MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE."
"That's because it's in Ancient Runes, Sher." Amber so kindly pointed out to the girl lay haphazardly over the Ravenclaw Common Room sofa with a book in her hand whilst her half-closed eyes scanned the page lazily with her eyebrows furrowed together. "You picked up my textbook instead of yours."
"And you took Ancient Runes for NEWTS?" Oliver looked over at his twin, face contorted into disgust as he looked at her. Amber gaped at him, shaking her head with a scoff at her brother who raised his hands up in surrender and looked back down at his own book on Defence Against The Dark Arts. Oliver had claimed the armchair whilst Louis and Amber stayed sat cross-legged on the floor.
It was a Friday evening and already the group had six essays to do between them for the Monday morning. The prospect of having free periods in sixth-year had excited them all but the work load had shocked them, Sherry remembered being sat in McGonagalls lesson and snapping her head up at the mention of homework on the second day back at school. She had been up for a while the previous night so in no way was she prepared for Transfiguration on a Tuesday morning.
At the very least, McGonagall had been nice and placed Potter in the very back corner of the right side of the classroom and put Sherry in the front corner of the left side of the classroom so that the two of them were the furthest away from one another they could be. She had also put Sherry very kindly beside Evan Rosier with whom she had shared a night of bliss with previously.
He simply cleared his throat and settled himself down beside her with the tiniest smirk but said absolutely nothing about the night before. They simply talked like any other desk partners would talk and laughed at each others spell failure. It was odd because Sherry felt nothing for him in their current climate, a desk partner was all she saw him as compared to last night where she had definitely felt something else for him.
And with him.
An embarrassing blush had almost took place on her cheeks but she quelled it, telling herself that the old Sherry wouldn't have flushed over something as trivial as sex. She had hooked up with Marlene McKinnon for gods sake and now sat with the girl at lunch, cracking up over things that weren't even that funny with no feelings or tension whatsoever.
Maybe all she needed was a one night stand, something to make her feel good but not to bring her into any commitments. Except it ended up being more of a two night stand. Monday night and then Thursday night when Sherry had been walking again, this time angry over the amount of work she had been given by Slughorn in Double Potions which she had been dreading all week. Their first singular period of Potions was on the Monday where she had been seated beside Dorcas Meadowes.
Dorcas was a friend of Marlene and Lily's who Sherry hadn't talked to that often but now got a larger chance to. They got along supremely well and even managed to complete the lessons task on time. Although impressed by their time management, Slughorn still decided to give out lots of cruel homework to the class. Sherry stayed up doing it, needed a refresher, made her way out of her dorm to sneak into the kitchens she had been told about.
