POTIONS CLASS WAS BUSTLING WITH advanced students. They were supposed to take their N.E.W.T.S at the end of their 6th year, and for them to do that they would have to take N.E.W.T level classes. Siobhán Parten had entered the classroom, still on James Potter's shoulder. He set her down as she just smiled at him.

"That was fun, but never do that again." she insisted, tapping her finger against his shoulder. He nodded and went towards an empty table.

"I expect you to sit with me." he gestured towards the empty table. She smirked at him as she sat down in the seat. "Good girl."

She scrunched her nose at the nickname. "Good girl?"

"Aren't you a girl?" he asked. "You are a good girl." he raised an eyebrow at her. She nodded quickly and just completely disregarded how strange she thought the nickname was.

"Right." she took out her advanced potions textbook. "Ignore my question."

"Of course, Ms. Parten." he sat down next to her. "Anything for you."

"Anything for me?" she teased. He nodded like a small child before gazing at the textbook in front of him. "Well, I have no task for you right now."

"Pleasant surprise, isn't it?" he sighed with relief, fiddling with the corners of his book. "I would say if you made me do anything so terrible then I would go and make sure you won't see me, the light of day, and the rest of the Marauder's ever again." he confided, turning up his nose.

"Rather rigorous response," she muttered, gaping at the entrance of the potions classroom.

Siobhán had forgotten all about her truthful promise to the Hufflepuff icon. Amos Diggory had entered the classroom with pep in his step. He peered around the classroom before his eyes finally settled on Siobhán Parten. The boy stepped towards the table but immediately stopped. He had realized she wasn't sitting alone — she was sitting with James Potter. Amos frowned and went to the table in front of the pair.

He locked eyes with Siobhán. The tension between the two was quite thick considering the fact she had completely forgotten about what she promised him a year ago. James noticed him staring at Siobhán, so he glared at him. He glared at him like there was no tomorrow.

"Why is Diggory staring at you?" James asked, still glaring at Amos. She just put her hand up and laughed.

"I believe I agreed with him a year ago on something." she reminisced. "I can't quite remember the details, but I'll inform you."

"Abandoned classroom," he whispered. "Am I right?"

"Correct." she made known. "Just don't attract so much attention on your way there."

"Deal."

————————————

Classes were over quicker than she had anticipated. In all honesty, she was tired of everyone and everything. It was barely the first day of class and she wanted to leave the school completely.

She was patiently waiting for James Potter to come find her in the abandoned classroom. Siobhán was quite nervous about expressing everything she went through. From arguing with Leonardo Nott to the agreement with Amos Diggory.

She sat on top of the table, flipping through old books. Her oversized sweater was covering her hands as she placed the book back on the table. When she wasn't looking the door opened to reveal James Potter, flushed and his hair messier than usual. She quickly glanced at the boy who had a few of the buttons on his shirt opened. His tie was nowhere to be found. Siobhán narrowed her eyes as she inspected him.
