As January rolled in, so did their homework load. As the OWLs were coming up, their teachers cannot keep stressing that "OWLs are so important for your future" and "You're doomed if you fail all of them", which made the students worry even harder.

"Darling, come on, get your eyes off the book for a while, let's go take a walk," Regulus said, gently pulling his girlfriend away from his book.

Just then, a beautiful black-haired girl with brown eyes walked gracefully into the room.

Regulus couldn't help but stare at her mesmerizing beauty and asked, "Hi beauty, what's your name?"

"My name's Cassandra Nott, I just recently transferred here from Beauxbatons," The girl's smooth and elegant voice replied.

"It's a pleasure to meet you," Regulus said as he brought up her hand to gently kiss it.

Cassandra giggled as Avalon looked up and her frown deepened, just a little bit.

When Avalon stood up to leave, Regulus paid no attention to her, laughing and chatting with Cassandra.

I mean, look at Cassandra, pureblood and beauty, if I was not straight, I would totally fall in love with her too, she's everything I am not, Avalon thought as she quietly sneaked out of the Common Room and walked into the direction of the library.

There, she continued to study her butt off, especially in Potions, which are OWLs are combined with her final exams, so she has to study harder in Potions.

Suddenly, an arrogant voice startled her as she jumped up, "Hello, my dear Raynott,"

"Potter! What the fuck are you doing in the library on such a sunny morning?" Avalon sarcastically said as she continued to read and take notes.

"Just like you, I'm coming here to study," James said but noticed Avalon narrow her eyes at him, "okay, I'm here to hide from Sirius, I dyed his hair pink and he is currently screaming like a banshee in our dorm,"

Avalon laughed light-heartedly as she imagined Sirius with pink hair, "I do have to admit, you got him good, Potter,"

"Thanks, darling," James flirted as they continued to talk about random things happening in their lives.

Hey, maybe James Potter isn't that bad after all, Avalon thought as she bid James goodbye when he needed to go to class.

"I was looking for you everywhere, darling," Regulus said as he sat down next to Avalon in the library.

"Sure you were, Regulus," Avalon said nonchalantly as she continued to study.

"What's wrong, darling?" Regulus asked after a pause.

"Why don't you figure it out yourself?" Avalon fired back as she packed up her things hastily in her bag and ran out of the library, on the verge of tears.

Regulus was genuinely confused as he thought back to what he had done to harm her.

Before the graceful voice interrupted him again, "Regulus, do you maybe want to study with me?" Cassandra asked.
