Chapter 1: The Sorting

James POV

"Finally," Sirius sighed next to him as Professor McGonagall rerolled the parchment she had been reading off. "I'm starving!"

Dumbledore stood up and boomed. "Before we eat , we have two exchange students joining in their fifth year. I hope you will all give them a warm welcome."

James moaned and then ran his hand through his hair when he saw Lily Evans giving him a reproachful glare.

"Not much chance of that." Remus muttered on his other side looking over at the Slytherins and in particulaur the fifth years including Lucius Malfoy, Sirius' older brother

Regulus and Bellatrix Black who were the main ringleaders.

If those three decided they didn't like the newcomers, hardly anyone would give them a warm welcome.

"Shaw, Trisha," McGonagall called and the Great Hall's doors opened.

Everyone turned to look as a girl walked in and calmly went up to Mc Gonagall.

The girl had elbow-length black hair and sea blue eyes. She was pale and skinny and she was about 5"10.

The old hat balanced on her head for a minute before it finally announced "SLYTHERIN!". The table to their right exploded with cheers.

"Shame," Sirius sighed, "It was about time we found Moony a fiesty girl who could tame his furry little problem!"

"You can talk!" Remus retorted.

The girl reached the green and silver table and sat down next to ... "Snivellus," James exclaimned with disgust as the girl began talking to him. "How come he gets all the luck? And why the hell do they look like each other!"

"They make the perfect couple." Peter Pettigrew sniggered across the table from them. James roared with laughter as he and his friends began making snide comments about Snivellus and his new, only friend.

Sirius POV

"I'm surprised you havn't got a girlfriend by now, though." James remarked. "You just grab one, play with her for a few weeks and then dump her again. Why don't you get a proper one? All the girls are all over you but you just ignore them."

"Girls just don't interest me." Sirius replied casully. "At least not the one's here. They're all over their hair and make-up. I want one with a sense of adventure and with a little bounce in them."

"Don't you mean one with a little thrust?" James laughed.

Sirius was about to reply but Lily got there first, snapping "Don't be revolting!" and James' laughter died down at once.

"Shaw, Willow." McGonagall called.

Another girl stalked in and Sirius couldn't help but let out a low wolf whistle.

She was hot!

She had light brown hair that reached her back and she had ice-blue eyes like her sister. She was slim and about 5"7.

Sirius tried to catch her eye as she walked past but the girl kept her eyes fixed straight ahead.

She reached the stool and sat down on it staring around the room with wide eyes before the hat dropped down in front.

A second later the hat bellowed "GYRIFFINDOR" and Sirius joined in the loud cheers that erupted around their table.

The girl sat down next to Lily opposite him and the two girls began chatting.

Trisha POV

Trisha was sad to see that her and her sister weren't together but as food began to appear she turned to her neighbour.

He had lank black hair and a pinched face with a slightly crooked nose. He was eating his food silently not talking to anyone and Trisha felt a bit sorry for him.

"I'm Trisha Shaw," she introduced sticking out her head but the boy didn't take it. He looked up to reveal startling black eyes.

"Severus Snape," he replied before fliching back as though he expected her to laugh at his name. She did not.

"What is it like here?" she asked.

"Really good," Severus responded enthusiasticlly "especially Potions."

As they launched into a coversation Ttisha noticed a blonde boy and a black haired boy further down the table pointing and laughing at the two of them.

Trisha tried to ignore them but as the girl made a really loud malicous comment about her new friend she snapped and leaped to her feet to give them a piece of her mind but Severus pulled her back down.

"Don't," he muttured as she turned to snap at him. "They can make your life hell here. Bellatrix and Lucius are major ringleaders."

She looked back at the two of them to see Bellatrix smirking at her. Trisha glared at her and Bellatrix glared back.

Trisha looked away first and the little gang down the table began to laugh and she knew it was about her.

Willow POV

"Who's that?" Willow asked a handsome darkhaired boy opposite her, pointing behind him to a darkhaired girl and a blonde boy that her sister was giving evils.

"Bellatrix Black and Lucius Malfoy." The boy answered glancing over his shoulder.

Willow nodded and then sighed with relief as her sister sat back down without starting a fight.

"Lily Evans." A pretty girl introduced next to her. "That's Peter Pettigrew and James Potter," She motioned to a scrawny boy and a black haired boy who quickly ran his hand through his hair when he saw Lily point to him.

"Remus Lupin," She carried on pointing at a pale, tired looking brown haired boy, "and Sirius Black." Lily finished.

Willow scanned the handsome boy who she had spoken too earlier. She had no chance.

Lily and Remus got into a conversation with her and Willow was just about to ask what life was like here when Lily snapped, "Stop staring at Willow, Black!"

Willow blushed but Sirius just smirked before winking at her. "That's a nice colour," he grinned and Willow felt herself go even redder.

Before she could get even more embaressed Willow turned back to Lily. "So what are lessons like here?"

"They are really fun." Lily gasped.

"You would say that." a voice drawled behind her. Willow spun round swiftly. Lucius, Bellatrix and a few other followers stood behind them.

Immediatly the mood on the Gyriffindor table changed.

"What do you want?" Sirius asked coldly as he and James reached for their wands.

"We don't want anything to do with you." Bellatrix smirked. "We're here to talk to Willow."

"Why?" James questioned. "To get her to join your gay gang."

Lucius' eyes narrowed. "I'll get you for that, Potter-" he began but Professor McGonagall who seemed to be able to spot trouble a mile away was already beside them.

"Problems?" she asked calmly.

"No Professor." Bellatrix smiled "We were just giving Willow and her sister - "a warm welcome"."

As McGonagall left the gang headed back to the Slytherin table but not before Lucius had muttered to James and Sirius. "Duel. Next Friday night. Trophy room. You had better be there."

"Or what?" Willow perked up.

"You'll see!" Bellatrix smiled evilly before towing Lucius back to the Slytherin table.

Willow didn't feel like eating desert and followed the boys and Lily up to their common room.

Willow was happy to find she had a bed next to Lily and the two girls stayed up half the night discussing different topics about Hogwarts and spells.

Willow had loved DADA back at their own school and was delighted to hear that they taught COMC which they hadn't been allowed to take at Sky's Magic School for the Orphaned.

She was looking forward to her new life here.
