The Marauder Girls (Book 1)

Chapter 69

-Eve's POV-

"Wow." Sirius laughs. "You have up quidditch for me. I must be pretty important." I laugh and slap his arm. "Mm no. I just don't want to play quidditch right now.." He looks at me, eyes wide. "Are you feeling alright?" He puts his hand to my forehead, testing for a fever. "Alright fine! I just wanted to spend time with you!" I admit. "Happy?"

He smirks at me "Very." He kisses my cheek and wraps his arm around my shoulder. I slap his arm playfully. "Cheeky one aren't you?" He smirks at me "Only for you, babe." I glare at him.

"So what do you wanna do?" I ask him, as we get closer to the castle. He looks at me and raises his eyebrows. "Well there's always one thing we could do..." He winks and I glare at him. "Mmmmh how about no." He laughs at me and pouts. "You could help me study for O.W.L.s. I've been out a lot lately and the exams are coming quick. " he smiles. "Yeah,love, I've noticed. And that'd be lovely." He's noticed? Does that mean he's been watching me? "Okay great! I need lots of help on History of Magic. I'm probably not gonna get any o.w.l.s." I sigh.

Sirius takes my hand and squeezes it, frowning. "Eve...you're really thick if you think that you will fail." I sigh. "Can we just go?" He nods and we walk back into the castle, smiling the whole way.

(A/N) I just love Evius. :)

Jade's POV

We land again after playing quidditch for half an hour. I go to put my borrowed broom back in the broom closet and hear a voice as I set it in the broom rack. "Hey Jade." I turn and see Wood. Our friendship was quote complicated, now that I thought about it. First, I was mutual with him. Then, I began to despise him. But now.... We're like regular friends. Not anything like what I had with the marauders, but something.

"Hey Wood. What's up?" he smiles. "I was just wondering if you wanted to head to Hogsmeade and get a butterbeer." I shake my head. "I have tons of studying to do. I was just about to go get Remus so he could help me." he shook his head, obviously persistent. "How about you study with me?" I smiled. "I'm sure Remus would like me to study with him. Besides, I promised I would anyways." I take a step forward to walk past him but he grabs my forearm.

"God, don't you get it, Jade?" he said irritably. I look at him, thoroughly confused. "What do you mean?" I said, ignoring the grasp he had on my arm. "Jade, I like you. A lot. How is it that you haven't seen that yet?! I've been hinting at it for weeks and you don't even notice!" my face is stunned with shock. Wood liking me? Impossible! No, it can't be! But could it?

I finally regain my speech and say "I've got to go." I try to say it without emotion but my voice betrays me. I rip my arm, rather harshly, from his grasp and practically march out of the broom closet and across the quidditch field. My mind feeling as though there's a force field around it, not allowing the thoughts to come through.
