He frowned and cocked his head, as if trying to figure something out. ‘You were! You looking straight at him and - ’ he snorted ‘ - drooling! I saw you!’

‘I was not!’ I shrieked, causing people to stare. I shoved him off the seat, sending him sprawling across the floor. ‘Now GO AWAY!’ Now we had the full attention of everyone around us. Including Arthur Weasley and Molly The-Girlfriend. Not to mention many of my classmates.

Anthony Macmillan was a fourth year Ravenclaw and somehow, despite being in different houses and different years, we had developed a friendship. A girl in my dormitory, Linda Jumperable, said that she heard he liked me. I told Linda to go get her head checked.

Despite being late, and the Great Hall being loud, the chatter almost completely died as I stepped into the Great Hall. I not-so-subtly craned my neck to see if Amos was sitting where he was supposed to sit, at the Hufflepuff table. Only he wasn’t there.

I should have realized something was wrong at about this point.

‘I’m done!’ Lily pronounced proudly the next morning during breakfast. She slapped down her small list of names in front of James who was sitting with the rest of the Marauders.

Sirius quickly leaned over James and grabbed the list before James could even look at it.

‘What am I doing on this list?’ he asked, frowning. They all looked up at her, eyebrows raised.
