Suddenly, the door to the Mansion opened and two trunks were thrown out. The door slammed closed again and Serena felt her eyes watering up again.

“How am I supposed to get to the train station?” She heard herself thinking aloud.

You missed breakfast, Padfoot and lunch.” Serena heard Remus mutter then walk over to the bed. “Oh.”

“Ever think I wasn’t hungry, Mooney?” Sirius groaned, stretching, and Serena stirred awkwardly sitting up. Sirius’ attention quickly turned to her. “What’s wrong?”

“Uhh…” Was all she could manage.

"Afternoon Serena.” Remus said after a moment. James, as if reading her mind, handed her her tights and boots. Serena blushed brightly.

“Oh Jesus.” Serena thought she was going to hyperventilate.

“Hello there Lilly!” James smiled at her. Lilly rolled her eyes.

“James.”

“Hey Alice!” James continued. Alice smiled at him, waiting for them to give her something she could report to all her friends. “Hey Mooney, did you see that over there?”

“I did.” Remus sighed. “But as a prefect, I’m going to pretend I didn’t.”

“What a pal.” James smiled. He looked over at his friend, only to see Sirius staring at the doors to the Great Hall.

“You told everyone I was a slut.”  Serena's purple eyes looked deeply at Alice.

“I didn…” The petite brunette stuttered but Serena contined.

“You wouldn’t let Frank talk to me.”

“But that’s beca…”

“And you stare at me when I brush my teeth, it’s creepy.”
