[h3]Sirius[/h3]

[Indent][Indent][Indent]As they stood so close; he could feel her breath tingle against his skin. He just rose a slight eyebrow at hearing her words about losing his sense of humor and her teasing him about this before. Sirius' jaw clenched slightly; he wasn't sure why it bothered him all of a sudden. Maybe it was the new girl's presence and that she was probably the only girl in the school, that didn't blush and get all fluttery at his gaze. Or maybe, it was his feelings for Astrid that had messed him up. Doing his best to ignore Veronica and Remus passing him, he felt his emotions and thoughts scatter all over the place. "Just forget it." he muttered, with a slight frown as he shook his head.

As he walked off, towards Peter he rolled his eyes at her comment about being a killjoy "Whatever!" he called back to her. His hand curled up into a fist slightly. He tried to ignore looking over towards Trevor and Astrid who were in near qauters as they seemed to be headed the same direction he was-the stairs to the towers.

Peter could tell how irritated Sirius looked for some reason; he never known his best friend to be annoyed about the people Astrid was with. Until now...why the sudden change? "You okay?" he asked him, with clear concern in his voice.

"I am fine." Sirius muttered in return. The two Marauders were making their way up to the Gryffindor tower. Unlike Sirius, Peter gave a wave to Trevor and Astrid on their parting in different directions. But both kept a vigil eye on the time. It was that time of the month; Remus's transformation and they were going to be keeping an eye on their friend once again. Sirius pursed his lips in thought; wondering how their friend was feeling right now. He knew that he was always a bit anxious about it, but once again they would get to sneak out of the castle...the fond memories he shared with Remus, James and Peter brought a slight smile to his face.
As they made their way up to the tower; Peter was the first one to see Remus talking with the new girl. He and Sirius kept slightly behind not wanting to disturb the two. Girls were mostly interested in the other lads of the group, so this was probably the first time that Peter or Sirius witnessed a girl that was interested in being around Remus *besides Lily, Astrid that is*, with a bright beaming smile and cute blush. The two started to chat among themselves, leaving Remus and Veronica to carry on with their conversation.

Trevor smiled softly as Astrid joined him and he wrapped his arm around her. His hand resting on her hip softly as he kissed the side of her head softly. "Are you okay, beautiful?" he asked, with a warm and tender smile. His eyes looking at her with slight concern as he felt her uneasiness. She felt a little more tensed up then usual.

[h3] Veronica [/h3]

[Indent][Indent][Indent]As they made their way up the stairs; she listened to his words about the stairs and she gave him a soft nod. "I suppose so." she said with a gentle smile. "How long did it take you, to get the hang of it?" she asked, with a curious expression on her face. But a gentle and soft smile. When they reached the top; she saw him reach his hand out to her. Holding onto his hand softly for help...she did a little hop, landing beside him just as the staircase seemed to be move on it's own once again. "Thanks, for that." Veronica told him with a gentle smile as she let go of his hand softly. She couldn't help but notice him hiding his hands...whether it was shame for him having scarred hands, or something else. She didn't want to pry, so she just smiled at him gently listening to him him talk as he pointed out the different locations.

As they stood close to each other throughout their conversation; Veronica couldn't help but notice how pale he looked. With a slight grey tint to his complexion. A slight worried look crossed her face; as it seemed like he was ill...but his actions and body temperature told her, he was healthy not ill. Doing her best to mask, her worry with a soft smile and soft eyes as she saw the warm smile on his face a few times. [i]He had a cute smile for sure.[/i]

Hearing him ask about her schedule; she nodded. "Yeah, I have it with me." she said softly, as she reached into her robes and pulled out a piece of paper that had her class schedule on it. Her classes consisted off; Care for Magical Creatures, Potions, Study of Ancient Runes, History of Magic, Defense against the dark arts, Divination and Arithmacy. Her double lessons through out the week being Care for Magical Creatures and Study of Ancient Runes. She let him look over her schedule and she smiled over at him gently. He was rather sweet to her, and made her feel less anxious as he helped her out already. Another person besides Lily, she would gladly turn to for help and advice.

"Any tips, for my first day of lessons tomorrow?" she asked him, wondering if there was anything that might help her out. A part of her also wondered if they shared any classes together.
