Deep Love - Sirius Black

STELLA HART

All of us enter potions and are greeted by Professor Slughorn who has an excited gleam roaming around him.

"Don't bother sitting down children, i have a seating plan." I coarse of annoyed noises filled the room. I look towards my friends with a sad look on my face. "And they will be boy girl."

He listed off many names
"Avery and Mckinnon"
"Mulciber and MacDonald"
"Potter and Evans"
Lily gives me a very sad look before slowly walking towards the face of James Potter who is sat with a very bright smile on his face.
"Snape and Pettigrew"
"Black and Rosier"
"Lupin and Hart" I smile appears on my face at the name of who i will be sat with. I quickly make my way towards him and sit down. I don't listen to the rest of the names being read out because i'm quietly talking to Remus, luckily we are sat at the back.

I can feel a cold stare from across the room and cast my eyes over to my the eyes of Sirius Black who is shooting daggers this way. He scoffs and turns back around to face the front. What is his problem?

"Today we are going to start off with a simple potion to ease you all back into it. So i would like you to work with your partner and conjure me aging potion. You know i need it." He laughs trying to lighten the mood but the room remains silent so he directs us to get started.

I turn to Remus who already has his book open to the aging potion. "I'm sorry you got stuck with me Remus, you know i'm no help when it comes to potions." I say dropping my head slightly, us both now standing.

"Don't be ridiculous Stella, i wouldn't want to be with anyone else." He tells me nudging his shoulder into mine slightly causing my lips to lift up into a small smile. "Now with me as your assistant potions master you will be a professional potions maker." He jokes making me laugh as i shake my head.

"What do you want me to do, oh so fine potions master." I go along with his joke making a fake bow in his direction.

He laughs, "You go get the ingredients, i will set everything else up." I nod and scan my eyes over all the ingredients and head off to the cupboard to collect them.

When i arrive at the cupboard i am next to a certain dark haired boy.

"You and Moony then?" He asks slightly brushing his hand over mine when reaching the same ingredient but i quickly retract mine.

I raise my eyebrow at him in a questioning way. "Remus i see yous two together." He replies, not looking me in the eye as he continues to talk.

"Remus is my friend." I reply gathering all the needed ingredients in my hands.

"But would you want more?" He pushes with his questions. I back away from the cupboard and teasingly shrug in his direction to get a rise out of him which is succeed at as his face falls. My smile rises as i return to our station with every ingredient.

Remus raises his eyebrow at me, "What did he say to you this time?" He asks with a knowing look on his face.

"He was saying he saw us together or something, i don't know. I just ignore the nonsense that comes out of his mouth." He hums at my response.

"He means well Stella, he might not act like he does sometimes but he does."

"When i see it i will believe it." I reply.
