It was almost midnight when Eva entered the dormitory and went to sleep. The following day was a  Sunday . I was sitting near the library with lily and having breakfast. Dani and Alice came and sat down with us. Dani sat across Lily and took a toast from her plate.

            " Where is Eva?" Lily asked Dani.

             "She is eating in the Great hall" Dani replied taking a bite of her toast.

              "Oh !" Lily said sadly.

              " So, what's today's plan?" Alice asked excitedly.

              "  Well I'm going to Hogsmeade today" dani said boringly.

                 "Mind if I tag along?" alice asked.

                 "No problem, I wouldn't mind the company" dani replied.

                  "What about you two?" Alice asked us.

                 " I need to study Astronomy"I answered.

                  "I'm studying potions with Severus" lily said.

                " Studying with boys is code word for something else" Dani said with a smirk on her face. Alice and I laughed at this.

                  "Dani it's nothing like that between me and Severus. We are best friends" she said.

                  "Alright, I'm just saying . One day he'll be your best friend the next day you won't even recognise him. That's how teenage boys are" dani said with a dark look on her face.

                      " Dani stop scaring lily. Besides she's a smart girl" I said looking at lily. Lily smiled at me. Dani sighed. 

                       "Ok, I'm done eating. Should we go?" Alice asked dani.

                        "Yeah, let's go!"dani said and got up from her chair.

                         They said goodbye and left. Lily turned to me and said "You can join me you know. Severus won't mind"she said calmly.

                         "No, it's ok you can go" I said ressuringly. She wanted to say something but she hesitated and left it.

                         " Ok then I guess I'll see you around.." she said that and got up from the window sill. I waved to her and she waved back.

                          I entered the library and went towards the Astronomy section. I wanted to do some extra research. I got the book I was looking for. I pulled a chair sat down and opened the book.

                          I was reading about constellations. It was almost an hour now. Suddenly I felt a tap on my shoulder. 

                         I turned and saw a tall boy with light brown eyes and dusty  hazel hair. 

                        " Hey can you help me. I'm looking for a book and the librarian isn't here yet" he asked .

                           "Sure I can help you . What's the name of the book?" I asked him.

                            "Book of Potions by Zygmunt Budge.." he said.

                             I walked towards the potions section. I searched for the book. No one usually looks for that book. Wonder why this boy needs it. I finally found the book. I removed it and turned to leave .

                          " Merlin's beard!" I yelled. He was standing next to me. 

                            "I'm sorry if I startled you.." he said  smiling sheepishly.

                            " Yeah.. Here's the book you were looking for" I said giving him the book. 

                            "  Thank you so much " he said happily and took the book.

                               " I'm Remus Lupin" he continued.

                                "I'm Alexandra White but you can call me Alexa" I replied.

                                " It was nice meeting you Alexa. Bye"he said that left.

                                   I went and sat on my chair and continued reading my book. After about one hour lily came inside the library and sat across me. 

                                  "Hi lily. Weren't you studying with Severus?" I questioned her.

                                  " Oh! we finished studying . So I thought I would come and see you" she smiled.

                                    "Well I'm done studying as well. Should we grab some lunch?" I asked her.She agreed, I took my books and we went towards the  Great Hall. 

                                      We took our lunch and went outside, since it wasn't raining . We sat under the beech tree near the lake. After eating lily was talking about her transfiguration class. I opened my book and muggle stationary known as pencil. It was useful for sketching. I loved to sketch. I painted sometimes as well. 

                                    First I started sketching a random figure. Then I started sketching lily since she was right in front me. I nodded my head occasionally while she was talking.

                        Soon she understood something was wrong and she grabbed the book from my lap . 

                      " Heyy!! I was sketching that .." I said. She looked at my sketch and her eyes widened. 

                       "Wow that's an amazing sketch... Who's the beautiful girl??" she questioned.

                     "It's you . But it's not completed yet.." I replied. She instantly gave the book back to me. I picked the book and started sketching again.

                      " Hey Alexa" lily said softly "Can I keep the sketch after you are done with it" she asked. 

                        "Yeah sure , I was going to give to you anyways" I replied and smiled at her..
