"I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night."
"Professor McGonagall let us know that you were sneaking around the castle the night Arthur was attacked." Remus gave her a stern look, while her father merely grinned knowingly.
Serena almost choked on her pudding and was pretty sure that if her father knew the reason for her nightly walk, he wouldn't be grinning like that. Unhappily, she looked back and forth between the two of them, while the others' gazes prickled on her skin.
"Er... I was looking for Harry," she tried to pull herself out of the affair with the same excuse she had already served up to her tutor.
"How did you know about Harry?" Ron interjected, furrowing his brow, "I thought you were looking for Ha... OUCH!"
Serena had kicked the redhead hard in the leg, but by now everyone present knew that something wasn't quite right with her story. Everyone promptly turned to her again with curious looks.
"I was just seeing someone," the Gryffindor finally said quickly and quietly, feeling the blood rush to her head at the same time. She hoped that she had spoken so indistinctly that the others hadn't understood, but Remus smirked slightly now and her father grinned even wider if possible. He obviously had no idea that it was Hall.
"Is that a problem now?" Serena finally asked, looking around embarrassed. She hoped that it wouldn't be pulled out of her nose who she had been seeing.
"I don't think so," Remus sighed and was immediately interrupted by his best friend, "But don't get caught again! Will you tell us who the lucky one is?"
Serena hadn't actually intended to, but Ginny had already answered for her, "Well, I think you and Maxon are really cute!"
"Who's Maxon?" Her father, Remus, Tonks and Mrs Weasley asked almost simultaneously, causing the Gryffindor to sigh in exasperation, "I was going to tell you about it, but then the correspondence was monitored and...." She searched for the right words for a moment, "So he's kind of been my boyfriend for three months."
"Why didn't you say anything?" her father asked reproachfully.
"I just said that," Serena replied, still feeling the heat swirling in her head. "Besides, I didn't want you to freak out like you did with Hall."
He seemed to gasp and his expression tensed at the mention of that name, "This is completely different."
"You know a Hall?" Tonks had leant over to her and was now looking at her curiously. "They're always home-schooled, aren't they?"
