"He's been sighted! He's been sighted!" Holly said one morning, choking on her breakfast as she read the Daily Prophet.
"Who?" James said stupidly.
Claire smacked the back of his head. "Sirius Black, you idiot."
"Where?" Eliza interjected to stop Claire and James from fighting.
"Not far from here..." Holly said, peering over the paper, "Hey! He was sighted in Dufftown!"
"Dufftown? That's not far from here," Eliza said with a frown as she looked over her roommate's shoulder to read the article herself.

"I wonder why he's coming here," Ruby wondered as she sat next to Holly.
Eliza gave a dark look. She knew why he was coming to Hogwarts, with her parents being Aurors. Her parents had told her all about Black and his obsession with Harry.
She looked at Percy, who carefully avoided her eye as he sat back down from reading the article. If her insides weren't getting cold from Black coming near and near to Hogwarts, she'd confront Percy right here and right now.
But, she had to try.
"Perce?" Eliza cooed softly, using his nickname.
As much as he avoided Eliza, keeping the talk to a minimum, he couldn't help but blush at the way she called his name. But that blush only lasted for a few seconds as he turned to her, all redness going away.
"What?" He answered, pushing his glasses up. He was closing his books.
Eliza looked at him guiltily. "Wh-What happened?" She asked.
Percy shrugged, stuffing his books in his bag. "Nothing, I just remembered this assignment of Arithmancy. I have to go." He said and walked away.
"But we don't have an assignment..." She trailed off sadly as she saw him going off.
And this had been their relationship for a few days. Percy constantly kept avoiding her eye, shortening their conversations, speaking in monosyllbles.
Today seemed extra bad, however.
Eliza missed him. She missed talking to him, she missed teasing him, she missed kissing him. She missed everything about him. She couldn't even talk about it because Percy kept the line to a perfect. He was just enough with her for people to still think they were together.
As Snape whizzed past the Gryffindor table, her heart sunk even more. She knew why today felt extra bad. Today, Snape was going to initiate their detention.
