"Ms. Evans and Mr. Black will be partners and Mr. Potter and Ms. Rose will be partners," Mcgonagall says. The twins share a look. They can do this in their sleep.

Lily gives Sirius a look like, 'you better not mess this up'.

Mcgonagall had to step into the DADA class while the DADA teacher took care of something. They're working on patronus'. Everyone got to work except Sirius and the twins. But Lily was working so Mcgonagall let it slide, hoping he would give her feedback or something.

"Potter, Rose. Why don't you demonstrate for the class?" Mcgonagall says. Everyone stares at them. They glance at each other and shrug. James murmurs the spell and a stag bursts out of his wand. It prances around the room and the other students gape at it.

"Beat that," James mutters to his sister.

"Okay. I will," Sophia returns before wordlessly flicking her wand. A white erethial dog runs around the room, playing with the students. James almost chokes and looks at Sirius. Said boy turns red and looks down at his fingers.

"Impressive. Ten points to Gryffindor. But at least try and look like you're paying attention," Mcgonagall tells them. The two nod sheepishly.

"I can do this," Lily says to herself.

"You need a stronger memory," Sirius says, the color of his face back to normal.

"Well, you do it then," Lily says. The others look over in interest.

Sirius turns pink again. "Do I have to?" he asks. Mcgonagall nods. He sighs and does the spell, lowering his eyes when a shaggy black dog bounds around the room in a similar manner as Sophia's.

"Oh my god," Lily mutters. "Do you know what that means?"

"Yes," Sirius mutters. Lily grins. Sirius glances over at Sophia whose face has turned a lovely shade of red. Lily focuses but is distracted by Remus doing the spell. A wolf speeds through the room and Remus slams his head onto his desk while his friends snicker.

Lily turns her attention to a happy memory and performs the spell. A wisp comes out of her wand and she huffs in frustration.

"You okay, Lils?" Sophia asks.

"No. This is stupid. I can't get it," Lily says.

"You got this. It's a really hard spell. It's impressive that you can get even a wisp," Sophia says kindly. Lily smiles at her friend.

"You're right. Thank you Soph," Lily says. Sophia flashes a smile and goes back to her own work.

Lily concentrates on her happiest memory. Meeting all of her friends on the train. Then, James flashes through her mind and a doe bursts out of her wand. Lily's jaw drops along with everyone else's. She picks up her bag.

"Ms. Evans? What are you doing?" Mcgonagall asks, repressing a smirk. Filch owes her ten gallons.

"I'm leaving," Lily says simply before walking out of the room. Sophia busts out laughing and runs after her.

"Oh my god! You're in love with my brother!" Sophia howls. Lily scowls at her.

"That's not how that works. And even if it was that would mea you;re in love with Black," Lily counters.

"Hey. Low blow," Sophia says.

"My life is over," Lily moans. Sophia grins and pokes her side playfully.

"I think that your life is just beginning," Sophia sing songs.

"I'm going to strangle you!" Lily says, chasing Sophia while she runs, laughing.
