The smile spread on her lips and she dramatically placed her hand over her heart. “Are you not sure that I didn’t just take pity on you and that’s why i’m here spending so much time with you?” she asked, just teasing him. Augustus was, of course, her friend. There was very little that she wouldn’t do for him. Helping him study potions just to spend time with him was hardly work. 

“Well, i’d rather praise you than insult you so you’re in luck.” Lily grinned, pushing some of her hair out of her face before focusing on the books in front of her. “We do actually have to study though. Can’t just….get distracted.” she pointed out. “So no distracting me, okay?”

Augustus laughed, the sound loud and clear in the dungeons that they were in, contrasting neatly with the quiet around them. “Pity?” he questioned, laughing still. “No. I won’t believe that. Not ever.”

His laughter began to die down into a chuckle and then just pure amusement as she continued on and he found himself drawn back into her. “Why, I would never distract you, Miss Evans. I am only here to take advantage of your brain and certainly not for any pleasurable time,” he told her, faux seriously, though his eyes were merry and he had to fight down a smirk.

A smile spread on Marlene’s face as she bounded into the Great Hall, looking around for Dorcas She hadn’t seen her all summer and though they had spoken frequently through owl, it wasn’t enough. The first thing she wanted to do was see her best friend in person as they had managed to miss each other on the train. It didn’t take long for the blonde to find her friend and she hurried over to her, throwing her arms around Dorcas from behind. “Guess who!”

Dorcas had been in the middle of telling a small group of first years about the time that she had gotten detention from a potions mishap in the Astronomy Tower when she had arms thrown around her body. Doe’s dark eyes widened and her grin was quick to rise to her lips. “Marls!” she exclaimed, turning her body on the bench to wrap her arms around her friend. Her heartbeat quickened as she took in the blonde hair and the smell of her friend. This was what felt like home. “I can’t believe I missed you on the train!”

Lily didn’t hesitate to reach for a pastry. Might as well, right? She hadn’t eaten breakfast and there was no saying how long they’d work together. And if he brought them, it would be rude to refuse. She took a quick bite of a scone, placing it on one of her many books before turning her attention back to him. 

“Are you now?” she asked with a growing smile once she had swallowed what was in her mouth. “Because I can’t say you’ve managed to convince me to do much of anything for you.” she teased. And yet, he had. Here she was working on potions with him. Had actually waited when he was late. So perhaps he had worked his magic on her as well.

“Maybe next time you should get some tea as well. Then i’ll really be impressed.” Lily teased, passing over a book to him. “I promise it won’t take us too long to get through this.”

Augustus gaped dramatically, pausing in his dragging out of his study materials to look faux aghast at Lily. “That’s an absolute lie, Lily Evans,” he told her, “I’ve convinced you to waste away your days here in the drab dungeons with drab me.” He was teasing, and his smirk was to show for it and finally, he pulled out his materials and placed them before them. 

“I’ll remember that,” he told her, smiling now and he did mentally take a note to bring tea next to him. It would be simple enough and to see her smile like she had before...well, he would have gotten even the freshest pastries from the streets of Paris for her if it got him that smile. 

“I have all the time in the world, though I will need lots of positive praise during this,” he told her cheekily.

Study sessions with Augustus had become more of a norm as of late as opposed to an exception. Not that Lily minded at all. She was a young woman who enjoyed helping and she certainly enjoyed her time spent with Augustus. There may have been those who found their friendship odd but, then again, there had been those who thought her friendship with Severus odd. 

It had reached the point where she put just a little bit more effort into getting ready on the days she knew she’d see him. And though she wasn’t exactly sure why she was doing that, it was what it was. He always made her smile, even if he was running dreadfully late.

She had spread herself out in the classroom, laying out books, parchment, and setting up her quill as she waited for him to arrive. Lily never worried that he forgot because he never did.

So a smile was waiting on her lips when he finally came in. “Well, then you absolutely made up for your lateness.” she replied. “The house elves must love you, huh?”

Any other woman and Augustus was sure they would have been packing up and ready to storm out, grumbling about how he was wasting their time (which, sometimes, he did do). But Lily Evans...well, she was different. Perhaps that was the reason that Augustus found himself never missing their little study sessions. 

He smiled at her, a genuine one that reached his eyes, moving into the classroom and placing the package of pastries in the area between Lily and where he would sit. 

He pushed his sleeves up, digging through his backpack to pull out his textbook, parchment, and quill. “Is it that obvious?” he asked, smiling at Lily. “I just happen to be...very persuasive.”

Augustus was running late-- dreadfully late. 

He was never usually someone that slept in so much, but the groggy woman in his bed had kept him up later than usual and so...he was late. He quickly pulled on fresh clothing, ignoring the soft rustling from his bed. He was just filling his bag with his potions books when there was a noise.

“Where are you going? S’early,” the woman in his bed mumbled, rubbing sleep from her eyes.

Augustus barely glanced back at her, so intent was his focus on finding the rest ingredient that he needed to bring. “I’ve got a meeting. You can-- ah,” he found the bezoar, placing it into his bag and standing up, slinging it over his shoulder. “Let yourself out.”

--

It was almost ten minutes later when he found his way into the empty dungeon classroom. “Sorry that I’m late, but I did bring some breakfast for us,” Augustus announced from the doorway, holding up the small package that he had persuaded the house elves to give him.
