      ALTHOUGH PETUNIA COULD NOT GO to wizarding classes (due to the fact she had no powers of that sorts), that didn't stop her from working on her own schoolwork — despite no longer having her teacher.

Her eyes were scanning her science book briefly, and just after, she would scribble down a few notes with her pen. Graphs, diagrams, and words she could not understand, were decorated on each of her page. And as Petunia tried to learn, something had stopped her.

A loud thump in the hallway.

She didn't think much of it at first. Believing that the old building was just making noises. But as the sound of footsteps started to occur, right into the direction of her room — Petunia sat herself straighter, staring at the door.

And to her surprise, James Potter barged in.

"Hey, Tuna," He greeted casually, feeling as her lingering eyes followed him all the way to her bed.

He fell back onto it.

Petunia looked at him, back to the door, and at him once again. And as she opened her mouth, getting ready to question him — he stopped her.

"Wingardium Leviosa," He casted, flicking his wand. And Petunia watched in amazement as her Science Book started to float in the air, straight towards the boy. "This spell," He smiled gently, dropping the book onto his lap, "Levitates things. And I asked Sirius too—" He glanced down at her book briefly, stopping his words at the sight.

He looked disgusted.

He pointed at the photo.

And as Petunia put her own eyes on the photo, she couldn't but laugh — moving to sit next to him.

Their arms briefly touched.

Petunia was surprised that affected her.

So did James.

"That," She ignored the feeling, "my dear James," she started, surprised to see an amused smirk on his face, "Is what's in here," she gently patted his stomach.

His smirk formed into a frown.

"Well, that," He matched her tone, "my dear Tuna," He continued, "Is bloody disgusting and I never want to see that again." He spoke breathlessly, mockingly patting her leg.

She sucked in an air of breath at that.

And then it got quiet between the two.

      Not an awkward silence, however, not one where you feel the need to talk. A comfortable silence. One where they felt content with just being in each others presence.

They both enjoyed it.

Petunia tiredly laid her head against James's shoulder, letting out a tired yawn. And almost expectantly, James followed suit — laying his head against her own.

Just like on the roof.

"Are you tired?"

She nodded.

And again, almost expectantly, Petunia's resting head was lifted up — leading her to watch his next movements in confusion.

James scooted from the end of the bed to the front, shifting himself into comfortability before opening his arms out wide — making her shyly smile.

But, nonetheless, she followed his previous movements — moving from one end to the other side of the bed, shifting into comfortability as she laid her head in between his shoulder blade and chest.

His arm wrapped itself around her waist — slightly pulling her closer.

And her eyes fluttered closed.

...

Lily Evans was sitting in her potions class, crushing up her ingredients quickly — being rather distracted as she wasn't even
watching what she was doing.

Instead, here eyes were grazing at the Ravenclaw table, a small form of jealousy flushing her cheeks as Pandora helped a boy with his potion.

Though, their hands never touched once, Lily would somehow remember it that way — making her become more upset with her memories.

She didn't get to look long.

Because once Professor Slughorn had made his rounds, correcting Lily on her chopping — the ginger finally removed her jealous eyes, not focusing on the bubbling potion before her.

It was Pandora's turn to stare.

The sour look on Lily's face, along with concentration, made the blonde laugh gently — shaking her head in response.

It wasn't the first time Lily was bad at hiding her jealousy — and though it definitely wouldn't be the last, Pandora couldn't help but smile each time it happened, liking the effect she had on the Evan's girl.

And as she finished helping the other boy, she decided to make a visit to the Gryffindor table — straight to a distracted Lily.

"Here," Her silky voice swayed into Lily's ears, making the girl perk up quickly, "I can help you — I'd say i'm good at potions... And chopping." She smiled sweetly, eyeing the mess Lily made.

And despite Lily trying to speak in response, she found she'd lost her voice — only letting out a small, nervous squeak in response.

Though, once Pandora's soft hand collided with Lily's, helping her chop each ingredient — Lily couldn't help but feel her heart thump against her chest rapidly.

Her face beat redder.

And Pandora kept calm the entire time. Her face stayed pale, no indication of a blush. But she was just good at hiding it, unlike Lily herself. Because, just as her hand had formed around Lily's, the blonde immediately had a rise of goosebumps line all the way up her arm.
