I'm really sorry but somehow I've managed to delete part 34 and 30. But they weren't hugely important ?? Anyway I'll get writing.

Syd woke up, her chest weighted down by lily's head. The girl's had a makeover night the day before which had included a vast amount of alcohol. However, they dragged themselves out of bed and prepared themselves for hogsmede. Lily grabbed her autumn clothes which consisted of a denim skirt and a dark green jumper. Marlene was dead to the world, her pillow was hugged tightly to her face. Syd flopped onto the floor and crawled towards her trunk. Her hands and knees froze against the cold stone of the castle. "We need a bigger rug!" She complained, putting her slippers onto her hands. Syd's head was pounding from the sheer amount of alcohol she'd consumed the night before, bottles littered the ground. "How much did we drinnnkkk?" Marlene whinged as she rolled over in her bed. Sydra reached up and dragged the covers off the lazy girl whilst gathering her clothes for the day. "Enough to give me a hangover..." Lily said, letting herself into the bathroom.

Syd's outfit was very typical of her, she wore a pair of low waisted jeans and a tank top which she paired with a fluffy coat that Mia had insisted she have. The weather had changed drastically in the few weeks they'd been back at school and the autumnal clothes were brought out from everyone's trunk very quickly. The girl's wandered down to the library for a quick search for a book they required for their Charms class. Syd was moseying through the advanced charms section when she spotted it and quickly tossed it to lily. "We've got it!" She squealed before making a dash for it out the library to meet the not hungover boys at the Viaduct bridge.

Lily tapped her feet impatiently on the wooden boards as she waited for the boys to make their way down to them. Syd had agreed to become part of dumbledores group as did everyone else but Remus required extra convincing from the headmaster himself. "Finally!" Marlene squealed and jumped at Sirius who she'd grown close to this year. Brodie had an exam the week following so he'd decided to skip out on this weekend at hogsmede. James and Remus were chatting under a spell so no one could hear them. Remus looked furious as they walked and talked, ignoring both lily and Syd who were trying to talk to one of the two boys each. Instead the girls found joy in each others company.

About half way to Hogsmede the spell broke and James and Remus' angry voices rang out amongst the group, startling the girls. Sirius had heard the conversation at its roots so wasn't surprised to hear their voices once more. The boys looked at the others before recasting the spell. "What was that all about?" Syd asked her twin who shrugged whilst twirling Marls around. "I'm not at liberty to say sadly." He shook his perfect curls lightly. Syd frowned. "They didn't sound angry at eachother but angry at one specific target... I wonder who's pissed them off?" Syd said almost tripping on the cobbles of the path down to the village. Lily was gazing longingly at James, waiting for him to finish his conversation.

The boys talked to eachother, the only indication of how the conversation was their facial expressions and hand gestures. The girls glanced back at them from time to time, up until the point they opened the gate into the village and the spell broke again. "Enough. We'll talk later mate... Imma take the little lady to lunch." He said flirtatiously grabbing lily and whisking her in the direction of The Three Broomsticks. That left Marlene, Sirius, Syd and Remus to wander around the shops. "We need to go to Zonkos!" Sirius cried gleefully. The werewolfs brow was furrowed angrily. "Hey... Hey, you okay?" Syd asked. He nodded and wrapped his arm over her shoulders, "I'm fine, just need to talk to James again."

The girl had never seen him this concerned before and attempted everything she could think of in order to cheer him up. "Shall we go get you some new Bowie music?" She smiled so innocently, unable to fathom why the boy would be so pent up. She grabbed his hand and shouted to her twin "Later loser!" and dragged Remus into the warmth of the record shop. The boys face lit up slightly at the sight of all his favourite artists. "Y'know I was so convinced Bowie was gay but only found out last week that he's married... To a woman." Syd gossiped whilst flicking one of his records round in her hands. Remus smirked "sometimes there is a benefit to growing up with muggles I guess. Yeah he's been married for a while now Suns. He claims to be bisexual." He said picking a few out from the blocks and storing them under his arm to continue browsing. Syd smiled, she was watching him relax. "Should we pay then go for a ciggie?" She questioned the lanky boy. Remus wandered the shop and brought out his wallet to pay when Syd slammed her money onto the counter. "Thank you sir!" Her cheery voice rang out as she skipped out of the shop the records in a bag at her side. Remus was laughing like a little kid. "Thank you!!!" He grabbed her head shaking it slightly. "Thank you so much!!!"
