"Mistletoe Evans how dare you walk into breakfast and not give me a hug?"

I looked up from my book, "What"

"I said, how dare you walk into breakfast and not give me a hug?"

I groaned internally, this kid, Terrance, is a manwhore. To the max.
Like, to the max.
Or he tries to be, he's dated so many girls, but he hasn't slept with them, he says he has, but the girls deny anything like that with a laugh.
He's annoying, I literally can't stand him.

He wrapped his arms around my body, squeezing me to him. Uncomfortable.

I've been in the hospital wing for a few days, my vocal cords were practically shot. I had three choir competitions in the past week, and it was the same songs too. I had four solos where I had to go to a high D in two of them, in one of them I went to a high C, and in two of the songs I was the person singing the descant.
I practically demolished my voice. Professor Flitwick flipped out when he had told me our choir had gotten an excellent rating and all I did was make some weird croaking noise.
Like he freaked out, his hands shook and his eyebrows shot up. It was a slightly funny sight. Probably would've been funnier if I didn't think I was going to keel over and die.

Lily raised her eyebrows at me from the end of the table as I squirmed, trying to escape his grasp, and failing miserably.

"My favorite Evans, you're back! It's been like a week since I've seen you."
The voice of Sirius Black made my heart race, I mean, his name does that to me too but now it made me happier because Terrance immediately let me go.

"Hello Sirius!" I said, looking up and smiling at him.
Terrance looked awkward, standing there, knowing Sirius was staring him down.
Sirius and Terrance hated each other, nobody would tell me why though, which was frustrating.
"How was your stay in the hospital wing?" He asked, sitting down across from me and smiling.

"No different from any other time I've been in there, except this time Poppy," Lily sent me a glare, making me correct myself "well Madam Pomfrey whatever, threw something at me whenever I tried to make a noise."

He laughed under his breath, "Nobody come to freak you out in the night like last time?"

Last time I was in the hospital wing, I had stumbled while on the stairs and tumbled down the entire Gryffindor tower, and then some. I just rolled down stairs until I was on the main floor. And I had just come back from the library so five books that must've weighed twenty pounds each fell down with me. It wasn't fun.
And someone had decided it would be fun to fuck with the broken little muggle born while she was unconscious in the hospital, they decided to throw little exploding rocks at me in the middle of the night.

I shook my head, "Not that I know of, no."

"Good, I'm glad we don't have to plan another revenge," he said, "Although I would like an excuse to get those Slytherins in trouble."

"Don't we all." I had barely gotten those words out of my mouth before Peter and Remus sat down, Remus was next to me, looking pale.

"You alright Remus?" I asked, knowing about his little problem.

"It's almost the thing so I'm trying my best." he said quietly to me.

I patted his back, "I wish I could help you, do you want me to make the potion?"

He shook his head, "I don't want to inconvenience you-"

I cut him off "Remus it's no inconvenience, I have no life anyway. Plus, you're my friend and I want to make this as easy as possible for you."

He nodded, "If you can, thank you. If you can't, thank you for trying."

"You are the human definition of caring, you know?" Sirius said, "I don't think I've ever met anyone as sweet as you. You're like chocolate."

I wrinkled my nose, "Chocolate makes me sick."

"Oh yeah, I'll have to keep that in mind." He said, biting his bottom lip.

"Where's Prongs?" Peter asked, looking around.

Sirius shrugged, looking over at Lily "Talking to someone."

Lily looked annoyed, Snape, who I've never liked, looked even more annoyed, and James looked desperate.

"Snape makes me uncomfortable," I say, "He's so obvious about his feelings for my sister, but then he goes and treats every other muggle born like we're the dirt on his shoes."

I paused for a second before adding, "Or the grease on his hair."

Peter snorted, Remus chuckling, Sirius smirking and letting out a chuckle, muttering a quiet "True."

"Seriously," I paused laughing at myself, Sirius raising his eyebrows at smirking, before going on "No pun intended, he's a creepy bloke."

"His is, if I may say so myself. I don't understand how he can't be so fake like that. He's perfect to Lily, but he's shit to everyone else." James said, plopping down, looking exasperated.

"I can't wait until he messes up with her so I can fight him." I said, "I mean I won't fight him, I'd either end up cussing him out and making him think that I'm possessed, or I'll end up crying and shaking like an old dog."

James nudged Sirius at the word 'dog'.
"I think we'd fight him for you, to be honest." He said, swatting James' arm away.

"If he says anything to Evans I'll destroy him. Then maybe she'll go out with me." James said, sighing.

James twin sister, Sinclair, plopped down right next to me, wrapping her arms tightly around me.

"I missed you, lovely." she said, pushing my hair off my shoulder.

"I missed you too, doof." I said, playing with her soft black hair.

She smiled at me, burying her face into my shoulder and whispering, "Look how hot Remus is looking, like dayum."

I laughed, whispering back to her "I'm glad you think so, I hadn't noticed."

She wrinkled her nose at me, I wrinkled my nose back.

"If I didn't know that you were Prongs' twin I would've thought you were Mistletoes." Peter said, popping a piece of bread into his mouth.

"I wish I was her sister, maybe I would've inherited the gene of being flawless." Sinclair said, "Because hot damn, isn't she lovely."

"Yes she is, I do agree." The words that came out of Sirius' mouth made my heart race, "I can't even amount to that much perfection."

I felt my face burn, my hair falling in front of my face.

"Stop flirting Black, back off." Terrance snapped.
I forgot he was still sitting next to me.

"I wasn't flirting, I was stating a fact, Sylost." Sirius snapped back, pursing his lips.

I was focusing on getting my hair out of my face but it just kept falling.
Sirius reached across the table and tucked it behind my ear and I was okay with it, so I let it be, but I knew how red my face would be.
