It was exam week at Hogwarts, Diana was nervous as she would have to take her O.W.Ls and a N.E.W.T level exam for magical theory, she had already taken her Astronomy exam a pieace of cake, questions about moons, ice, orbits, light and distance of different stars.

But she couldn't help but to feel nervous about the other exams, specially transfiguration, Diana was not so good on that class, she prefered Astronomy, Arithmancy, and Magical Theory.

"Hey Diana, what did you think of the exam" Lily Evans said to her.

"Easy, but I'm nervous about Transfiguration and Potions can you help me?"Diana said

"I will don't worry, aren't you worried about taking a N.E.W.T" Lily asked

"not really, I love magical theory, you should take it next year"Diana said

"I think I will, after I get my grades, Severeus asked me to meet him after I get my grades to see if we can take classes together next year" Lily said.

"that's nice, see you then" Diana said

Andromeda decided to go to meet Ted after the exams on their secret spot

"I'm happy the exams are finally over, soon we'll get out of here" Ted said.

"But we won't be able to see each other once we're out of here, my family won't let me and you know that, I'm sad to leave this place, the only place in which I have found freedom, you, our friends even this spy job, but out in the real world it will be harder to pick it up, and they are bent on me marrying Nott" Andi said.

"Ands, you don't have to marry him if you don't want to" Ted said.

"I don't have a choice Ted, my mother, my sisters, they would never let me choose"

" but if you had a choice.." Ted said as he kneeled down

"would you choose me?" he finished saying pulling out a box with a ring.

"Oh Ted you know I'll choose you any day" she said taking the ring and hugging him.

"then do it, you already defied your family by spying on your sister, they'll find out sooner or later, so do it, marry me, we will make a new life together, even if they don't approve of it"

"Its a hard choice Ted, They'll disown me and will probably never talk to me again, none of my family will"

"I can think of one member of your family that won't mind"

"Sirius"

the fifth year students were getting their O.W.L grades, but the marauders were out for some prank time, they had perfected their pranks and even if Remus didn't participate as much, they had a good time, and figuring Snivellus's spells had been of great help they used them and had figured out the counter spells except for Sectumsempra, they had no idea what it did or its counter spell as Remus had been afraid the spell could be the product of the dark arts, but Sirius wanted to try it today on Snivellus himself, if that spell was any dark magic, it would be nice if the creator got a taste of his own medicine.

Turns out James had found the little git himself and was already performing Levicorpus on him, Peter was on the side laughing while Remus just watched in horror.

"There you go Snivellus, got to admit you have a talent for creating good prank spells, Levicorpus and Palalingua are fantastic don't you think?" James said as he hung the boy up in the air

"Stop it Potter, put him down" said Evans coming around.

"I'll do it if you accept to go on a date with me during the final trip to Hogsmeade" James said

"you're unbelivable Potter, let him go, but I still wouldn't go out with someone like you, I would go with the giant squid first" Evans said.

James let Snivellus go performing both counter spells, and Snivellus just ran away Evans followed him and Sirius followed them to see if he could still cast the spell on him, he thought he got the taste of his own medicine with what James did, he would have to wait till Sirius struck.

"Sev, are you ok, sorry for arriving late, that awful boy, he needs to get a life" Evans said

" Just leave me alone Lils" Severus said.

"you need a friend right now, what they were doing to you was awful, did you get hurt"

" I didn't need you to come to defend me, filthy mudblood" Severus said before covering his mouth

"What did you just call me?" Lily said with a mix of indignation and anger

"I..." Severus started to say

"I what Severus, I trusted you, I trusted that you would never go that far I made excuses for you, I thought our friedship could overpower the dark path you were taking, but you chose this stupid prejudice and darkness over me" she said

"Lily I didn't..."

"you didn't? you already chose, no matter how bad that Potter hurt you, it doesn't give you the right to lash it out on me like that, you made your choice Severus, we can't be friends anymore" Lily said

Evans ran away crying while Severus just stood there for a couple seconds in shock before heading away as well, Sirius couldn't bring himself to cast the spell, what just happened hurt Snivellus more than any curse could. It just seemed extra cruel to cast the mystery spell on him after that. Instead he decided to go with the gossip to his friends.

__________________________________________________________

"you will never believe what just happened" said Sirius with a slightly triumphant air.

"what? did snivelus explode as a side effect of the combination of the spells, because if he did we're in big trouble" Peter said.

"no, he was so angry about the whole thing he called Evans the m-word" Sirius said.

"that git, I will make sure he pays" James said.

"don't worry about that, I think that Evans calling him out and dumping him out in the middle of the hallway were enough torture for him for now" Sirius said

then someone touched Sirius's shoulder, he turned around to see Andromeda with Ted Tonks

"Sirius can we talk to you in private for a moment?" Andi said

"sure why not" Sirius said as he followed them

"first what was Lily Evans crying about?" Andi asked

"nothing that we did directly, it was kind of a long time coming we just made it explode" Sirius said

"oh, will I regret doing this, but I have no choice, Siri, Ted and I are getting married, and as you are the only family member that wouldn't burn me for it, I want you to take me to the altar as if you were my father" Andi said.

"you want me to go to your marriage hidden from my parents and get away with it?"Sirius asked

" yes, you're smart you can figure it out" Andi said

"Fine, but James can come with me" Sirius said.

" sure why not" Andi said
