Chapter 41

"I'm really not looking forward to O.W.Ls, how many times do I need to say that before Hogwarts listens, and exams are cancelled forever and ever," Nora groaned, throwing her head into James' chest whilst he laughed, wrapping his arm around her tightly, pressing his lips to her forehead as he done so.

"Exams aren't that bad!" Lily scoffed from the sofa of the tree house, scribbling some more notes on the parchment that rested on her lap, turning to the couple who both glared at her, knowing full well that the only reason she didn't like exams was because she didn't need to study much to pass them. She was entirely organised with her notes, making sure that she had everything she could possibly need, so much to the fact that both Nora and James, and even Peter had stolen her notes and written them down for themselves. Nora really wanted to pass Potions with an outstanding, not for any reason other than the fact that she wanted to prove to professor Slughorn that she was capable of doing Potions well, seeing as he really didn't see it when he had invited both Lily and Adria to join the slug club and not her.

It wasn't like she actually wanted to join the slug club, she really had no intentions too, but she was stubborn, and when she set her mind to something, she wouldn't give up until it was complete. She was sure she would do alright in Herbology and Care of Magical Creatures, but she made sure to steal Remus' notes for defence against the dark arts seeing as she paid little to no attention in the class, she really couldn't care less about the dark arts, or how to defend herself against it, although in the day and age she was living in now, it seemed that knowing defence for the dark arts would be a great skill to have.

"Speak for yourself, Lily Evans," Milo grumbled as he leaned on Finn, his head on Finn's stomach as the blonde haired boy ran his fingers through Milo's hair, a puff of air leaving the boys lips as he gripped Finn's shirt. He had had quite enough of studying, seeing as for the past two hours it was all he had done nonstop, his brain was fried with the amount of information he had tried to wedge into each available space. He wondered how it was possible for Finn to be so calm about the whole ordeal, he had barely studied at all, only looked over his notes once or twice, and when asked, he said he had never really stressed about exams or tests before, and yet he got very good marks, never had he ever failed a test before, and yet here was his boyfriend, almost on the verge of a break down because he had forgotten that Steleus made someone sneeze uncontrollably for a short period of time, he really was stressing out.

"Exactly, Lils," Adria grumbled, her arms around Sirius who held her tightly, gripping her thigh as he pulled her closer to him, allowing her to rest her head on his shoulder and wrap her arms around him tightly. It was safe to say that everyone was completely drained from the study session at the completed tree house, no one really wanted to study much if they were honest, in fact if they didn't need to look at a text book again, or notes that Lily had written any more than they were sure that they would be the happiest people on earth.

"I just want O.W.Ls to be over with so that I can drink chocolate milk and sleep," Nora sighed, her arms around James as he chuckled, running his hands through her hair softly, "Peter has already given up, he and Thea are sleeping in the other room, I wish I was too, I'm so tired, I just want to sleep, I just want it to be summer already so that we can run away!" she exclaimed, lifting her head to stare at an amused James, his forehead resting on hers, gripping her waist in a best attempt to pull her closer.

"You need a break, love," James chuckled softly, his hand finding her cheek, allowing her to rest her head, capturing the warmth that he emitted, "come on, come sit," he guided her over to the available seat which happened to be the bean bag chair from the tree house. He sat down, pulling her down onto his lap, gripping her tightly as she leaned her head on his, running her hands through his hair as he leaned his head on her shoulder, pressing soft kisses to the exposed skin of her neck, brushing his lips over the spot that he knew drove her crazy, a smirk on his lips when she gripped his hair tighter, pulling away to see the glare in her eye.
