A

cacia spotted a fellow redhead in her Transfiguration class and it was no surprise that she's being constantly bothered by mone other than James Potter.

She knows of their story, Their son defeated Voldemort as a baby so that's saying something about them and their story happens to be passed around.

Fifth-year just started and if my sources are right, Lily and James will get together by the end of 7th year...Poor James. Lad's gotta wait 2 more years.

Today they were turning rocks to bunnies and even though she can perform the spell well, She waited for everyone to get it first and did it last.

It's what she's used to doing to avoid getting praises in class and her name being known. Oh fuck, The list!

She listed excelling in classes. She wanted to show off because she knows she have much to prove and so when she moved on to D.A.D.A for her last subject, She volunteered to duel.

"Ms.River here volunteered. Anyone from Gryffindor wanna give it a go?" Professor Meryll asked the class and Acacia cursed Merlin's name when James Potter raised a hand.

It was unlike him to participate in anything productive in class and would rather sit back and watch the show unfold, Acacia could tell from the murmurs.

The two faced each other and Acacia was terrified on the inside but stoic on the outside. Sure she's fought in war and managed to last 10, 30 minutes until she got Avada Kedavra'd so hard.

But James Potter was a remarkable Auror in his time. "Bloody fucking hell." She mumbled and James heard it.

His smile not so sly when she obviously hated the idea of dueling with the hazel-eyed boy. "Tell you what? If I win you've no choice but tell us everything." Acacia raised a brow in curiousity.

And if I win..."You leave me alone." With nods in unison the deal is made. All that's left to do for Acacia to escape their questions, that she can't answer, is to win.

"Alright. Nothing too harmful. Just Grade 1 and 2 spells." Acacia bowed first and James followed. Separating to reach the end of the platform they turned to each other at the same time.

"Flipendo!" James fired first, Blue light hesding for the redhead and Acacia being flexible just dodged it. "Expelliarmus!" The girl fired back but the Gryffindor countered it with a shield but before it can backfire Acacia moved out of the way.

Her hesitance to cast shield charm is very much obvious to her opponent but no one else noticed for she moved gracefully, Moving around dodging spells like it's what she does best.

She certainly peeked the interest of everyone in the room, She looked so skilled for a fifth-year in their opinion.

By now they were just dancing with each other. Firing spells at one another and dodging them, Acacia did manage to get hit by his second attempt at the knockback jinx and he got hit twice by a Tickling Charm and a knockback jinx.

It went on for a while that their professor got bored because no one was winning when James caught her of guard with a disarming spell when Acacia was a little occupied, Recovering from being thrown back.

James held her wand and waved it around with a wide grin to show-off his win and Acacia can only curse herself.

"Brilliant! 10 points to both Gryffindor and Slytherin." Professor Meryll announced and Acacia returned to her spot where Adaline chats her away about how great she looked up there and Clarabell shook the girl while squeeling.

James too returned to his spot with the nasty smirk still on his face and sirius had his arm around the boy's shoulder. "You were great Prongs." Peter complimented and James made an 'oh stop it, you' hand gesture.

"What did you tell her?" Remus asked because he can clearly see them talking but couldn't hear because he's 2 weeks away from the next full moon.

"Nothing but with this," James held up her wand and Sirius congratulated him for holding onto it, "She's got no choice but to spill." Sirius finished and cheered the genius that his best friend is.

Dear Diary,

      It's only the second day and I feel like pulling all my hair out of my head. I managed to escape the Marauders, What a stupid name, during Lunch but in my attempt to check off one more thing on my list...I fucked up.

       James got my wand and I know because he waved it around and I watched him show it off to his three equally as idiotic friends and I found a piece of parchment on my robe pockets.

         Black Lake. After curfew.

        Was written and I love the two periods, Makes him look mysterious and all that but I already know the git that he is.

       So I'm going to get my bloody wand back but I still don't know what to tell them. Here I am locked up in the room of requirements to avoid social interactions because I already like Adaline but the girl doesn't know when to shut up.

      Thalia is another thing, She hates me. I'm pureblooded, a Slytherin and definitely gorgeous so what is her problem? I should ask her but I'm afraid of getting Avada Kedavra'd to the 40's this time.

       So wish me luck—

        To whoever is reading this diary, You fucker! How did you get ahold of this? Am I dead? Omg I'm dead aren't I?  

       Just don't spill my secrets in here. I would appreciate if you keep my story alive but my time travelling tale a secret.

   

— Acacia River
