A/N: I am so sorry for the delay in this chapter. I will update the next one's more regularly.

This class is just another piece of shit ~ S
Sirius passed the noted to James.

I know, let's get out of here. ~J
James passed back.

How many times have I told you to not write a full stop at the end - it rips the sexiness from the note ~ S

That's what you are fixating at? Let's get out of here - come up with a quick excuse. ~J

Goddamnit stop that ~S
Atleast pass the chits behind me ~R

Atleast moony is paying attention ~P

No names, try to maintain the secrecy, Pete. ~J

Atleast moony has the courtesy to not write a damn full stop ~S

No names!!! ~J

Fuck secrecy James Potter ~S
Oh you stupid son of a bitch ~J

Don't curse, guys ~ P
Shut the fuck up, wormy ~ J and S

James took his wand and swirled it at Sirius with an unnoticeable flick.

Within a second sirius's arms were covered in boils and blood.

'Ugh, no. Fine, I am in.' Remus sighed.

'Thats mah remmy' said James facing an angry Sirius.

'He's dying' James shouted.
'Out of the way. Sir, we have a dying patient.' James blasted open the door without a look at binns.

Within another few seconds, James, Sirius and Peter were out.

Remus was packing his things when he noticed the class staring at him. Binns had never stopped teaching, not an eye blink to the escaping students.

'Yeah, I will just leave.' Remus said.

The class stared at him, some of them dozing. A few thinking of doing the same.

'Yeah.. just leaving.' Remus said taking long strides to the door.

He expected binns to call out or something but the ghost continued teaching like nothing ever happened.

He slammed the door behind him for effect.

'It's a fucking Thursday morning and we are sitting in three broomsticks in an invisibility cloak, drinking stolen butterbeer while bunking class. Guys, this madness has to stop.' Remus said.

'You stole butterbeer when there was firewhiskey hanging around?' Sirius asked.

'Of course, I don't want to be drunk, we have potions in an hour.' Remus said.

'You need to relax, remmy. It's just been three weeks of school and you are already ruining the mood. October's coming in a week. Have some fun. Have some whiskey.' James said.

'Hey, look at that. That man is wearing a hoodie.' Sirius said.

'So?' Remus asked taking a swig of his bottle.
'Clearly he is hiding something, dressed up in all black.'

'Don't be stupid, padfoot. That guy is clearly bald.' James said.

'Yeah, the hoodie covers up his baldness but no - I am telling you that's not what's happening here. He's clearly waiting for someone.'

'So? It could be a date.' James said.

'Its more serious. Look at his eyes. His eyes says he is in the mood to do some shit.'

'There it is.' Sirius said after two seconds when another man dressed in black entered wearing a hoodie.

'They are agents.' said Peter saying something for the first time, instead of drinking.

'What? James asked.
'Agents. This is a private conversation.' Peter said.

'Yeah, it's private.' Remus said. 'So let them mind their own business and let's freaking get out of here before McGonagall hears anything.' Remus said.

'I can't believe you followed those guys after I left with Peter. That's shitty dangerous.' Remus said.

'I can't believe they were a married gay couple.' Sirius said.

'Yeah, we retreated the moment we found they were not agents. It's all Peter's fault.' James pointed at Peter.

'Don't blame the fault at me. It was just a suggestion.'

'Wow, and now we are getting partners.' Sirius grumbled. 'Why does Slughorn have to do this?'

'Shut up and pray that I will be partners with Evans.' James said.

Peter got partnered with Snape which Sirius and James found hilarious.
Sirius was guffawing until he got partnered with Avery.

'Is he insane?' Sirius asked Remus.
Remus smirked. 'You deserve it.'

Remus zoned out until he heard Slughorn call out his name.

"Lupin and Meadowes." Slughorn called out.

Remus was so startled that he didn't notice James being partnered with Mary.

As he looked over to their seat, he saw Dorcas was already sitting there.

For a second their eyes met. Before Remus could form a connection she had already looked down.

Remus went over and sat down next to her, slughorn's pairs barely grazing his ear.

'Hi, Dorcas.' He said.
'Hi.' she replied not looking up from her book.

Sirius gave him the thumbs up while James was busy finding the right angle to stare at lily who was partnered with Mulciber.

Remus took out his quill and started taking notes, sneaking glances at Dorcas now and then.

'James will you swap places with me?' Remus asked.

'No, I won't.'
'I will.' Sirius said.

Remus ignored him.
'James, come on. Things have been tense between me and Meadowes. Swap seats for a while.'

'Only in one condition. You need to help me select the perfect gift for Evans.' James said.

'Deal.' Remus shook hands with him.

'Goddamnit, why do I have to sit next to Avery? Why?' Sirius cursed.

Remus and James smirked at him.
'Some things are meant to be, padfoot.'
