Early June 1978

"FREEDOM!!" Kelsey almost knocked Astrid to the ground as she jumped to hug her friend in joy. Their friends who were sitting on the grass outside chuckled at her enthusiasm.

"I take that it went well?" asked Lily. As expected, she had been the first to complete their last NEWT paper - Potions.

"About as well. Good thing I can make do with an E in the subject for the muggle PR department," said Kelsey. She took a seat next to Sirius and Remus who were deep in conversation.

"I'm telling you Moony, something was off. The proctor kept looking at me funny," said Sirius sounding confused.

Kelsey smirked to herself as she enjoyed the remnants of her last prank on the boy. She had cast a charm around him that gave off a funky smell to other girls. It was payback for the bucket of water that greeted her on the first day of NEWTS. Admittedly, she had been the one who told Sirius to make sure she woke up. But powering through NEWTS with a cold hadn't been her plan.

Between the proctor and Lily yelling at him about his hygiene (Sirius was lost at that), he had no idea why girls kept running away from him today.

"Kelsey, do you have something to say?" Remus caught on to her stifled laugh.

"You didn't!" Sirius yelled, stopping conversation around them.

"I mean.." Kelsey left the thought unfinished. Remus too grinned, amused. It was one of her better jokes.

"Now they'll think I don't shower!"

"It didn't affect your exam now, did it!" Kelsey replied. "Unlike some people." She was talking about herself.

Sirius was about to reply something snarky when he stopped. "You know.." he trailed off, as their friends busied talking among themselves. He covertly glanced at the water body a few feet away. It was the perfect day to spend their time outside after finishing their exams. Kelsey rested her chin on her fist and stared at him. "It's not November anymore. And apparently, I could use a fresh bath."

Sirius had Kelsey in her arms before she saw it coming.

"Sorry Jones." Just like last time, he held her close to him while she struggled in his arms bridal style. "But bad girls get punished," he leaned in to whisper huskily before jumping into the lake with her.

They both fell in with a splash. Their friends around them didn't even blink an eye.

"Sirius Black, you-" Kelsey started splashing water on him while yelling expletives as they emerged. Sirius grabbed her by the waist to try and stop her to which tried to grab his shirt to duck him underwater.
