'Definitely Alexis. She's quick enough. She is the main opponent here.' Sirius said.

'I could easily take her down.' James said.

'No you couldn't.'

'You are the one to talk.' James said.
'I have taken her down. Literally.' Sirius said.

'What about Kat?' James asked. 'She's the one to look out for, right?'

'Yeah, had a nice time with her too. Did I say with? I meant on top of' Sirius said, stretching his arms.

'Can you please live up to your name and for once start taking the game seriously?' James asked him.

'I am taking it seriously.'
'Honestly, if you don't start playing like a pro, then Dave will have a better chance at the team.'

'I know you won't take Dave over me.'
'You know me too well, that's the problem.' James sighed.

'Where's Remus?' Sirius asked looking at the empty seat.

At the other side- Lily, Dorcas and Mary were having an intense discussion about something.

Sirius at once noticed Marlene was missing too.

'Must have gone back to the dorm.' James yawned.
'Without us? With McKinnon?' Sirius asked.

Sirius got up and started to dissapear in the hustle bustle of the crowd.

James decided to the same.

'You coming?' He asked Peter.

'A little later.' Peter said making it clear he wasn't going to sacrifice bacon over this.

'So?' She asked a second later.
'Do you remember?'

'I am thinking. Something just isn't adding up.' Remus said.

'Well we need to go back to our respective dorms. Can't let the others know we are gone.'

'Wouldn't the others worry? Did you tell the guys you were sneaking out?' Marlene asked.

'And I was supposed to be the worrisome one. Just stay silent.'
But a few minutes later when he reached his destination, he couldn't find what he had hoped for.

'What did you want to show me?'
'Wait a moment. Why isn't it showing..'

'Showing what?'
'Darkness.'
