𝕴 grinned mischievously, setting foot into the potions classroom for my lesson early in the morning, feeling in rather a good mood despite it being nine o'clock in the morning. Today I would be talking to Slughorn after the lesson to find out more about Tom Riddle and I would be lying if I said I wasn't the slightest bit excited. I slipped into my seat, taking my textbooks, parchment and quill out of my bag, placing them down on the desk. I quirked an eyebrow when a familiar scent filled up my lungs, turning to the person inquisitively,

"Bonjour"

"Yes- For sure" He mumbled, a snort escaping my lips at his response, though I could see something hazy and lost in his hazel orbs behind his glasses, his eyebrows furrowed, "Mallie, can I- can I talk to you after this lesson?"

"Yeah, of course. I have to talk to Slughorn and then I'm yours" I nodded, smiling gently when he grinned sheepishly, rubbing the back of his neck.

"Thanks, love" He muttered appreciatively, my lips tugging upwards when someone slipped into their seat on the other side of me. It was Slughorn's idea to stop James and Sirius from talking, having me sit inbetween them, though I don't think he expected us to become friends- or more than friends in Sirius and I's case.

"Hi" He greeted when I turned to look at him, James occupying himself making a paper aeroplane out of parchment, everyone seems to be doing their own thing, and not being able to see us as we were in a dark corner at the back,

"Hi" I hummed, scanning over his face as he smiled gently, reaching and capturing my lips quickly, the kiss over too quickly for our liking, his hand reaching for mine, holding it, and brushing his lips over my knuckles and lion ring, my heart fluttering in my chest.

"Excited for Valentines day?" James questioned, leaning over my shoulder to the both of us, causing Sirius to let go of my hand, looking to his best friend with an incredulous look, "You're coming to our Valentine day party, right Mallie?"

"Sounds lovely" I spoke flatly, wrinkling my nose up at the thought, glancing to the long haired boy who smirked at me, "Except I don't do Valentines day"

"What do you mean you don't do Valentines day?" The both gasped dramatically, Peter and Remus turning around from their seats in front of us, mirroring their expressions.

"Do I need to repeat it?" I muttered, their heads shaking in disbelief, as if I had just insulted them greatly.

"You've never done a Marauders Valentines day though, that must be it" Peter claimed proudly, all of then nodding their heads in agreement, my eyebrows raising,

"Yes, I believe that's the point"

"How dare you" James cried out, pursing his lips together and I blinked at them slowly,

"Everyone loves the Marauders Valentine day party. We put little hearts hanging down from the ceiling, everyone wears red, pink and white, we play muggle music relating to hearts and love, we drink to our hearts content....." Remus trailed off with a smile, my teeth gliding against my lip when he blushed faintly,
