First Year- Marauder's Time
Phoenix sighed. She couldn't believe her guardian was sending her to a magical boarding school. Although she had heard great things about Hogwarts, Phoenix couldn't imagine being away from home for so long. At least, I got to bring Hecate, Phoenix thought with a smile. Hecate, Phoenix's black kitten, yawned in her pet carrier. Falcon, Phoenix's guardian, gave Phoenix a hug.
"You'll be fine." He told her. "Kally will be there."
"I know, but Shockra's not coming." Phoenix pouted.
"Shockra didn't want to go. You can't force her to do anything." Falcon smiled.
"You're forcing me. Can't I stay home and learn magic, Falcon? Please?" Phoenix whined.
"Come on, Phoenix!" Kally ran up and tugged at Phoenix's robe. "Let's go."
"Why do you want to go so badly?" Phoenix asked her.
"Because I already saw Lily and Sev," replied Kally.
"Lily and Severus are going to Hogwarts?" Phoenix's face broke into a huge grin.
Kally nodded.
"Bye, Falcon," Both girls called as they boarded the train.
Falcon chuckled.
Phoenix and Kally searched for an empty compartment. They couldn't find an empty one nor could they find Lily and Severus. Finally, they reached a compartment with only two boys.
"May we sit here?" Phoenix asked politely.
"Sure," said the boy with untidy black hair, hazel eyes, and glasses.
Phoenix glanced at the other boy. His long black hair was groomed and his dark eyes looked her over, as if judging her. Phoenix noticed that though Kally and she were already in their school robes the boys weren't. She wondered if that was why the boy was staring at her like that. Phoenix thought he was quite attractive, but Phoenix thought he had an air of egotistical superiority.
"My name is Potter, James Potter." The untidy black haired boy said, extending his hand to Phoenix. "And this is Sirius Black."
Sirius stuck his hand out a bit reluctantly to Phoenix.
"I'm Phoenix Denryoku."
Phoenix shook James's hand and then turned to Sirius. She smiled at Sirius just to spite him.
"And I'm Kally Treehaven." Kally smiled. "I don't shake hands."
James dropped his hand and Sirius sneered.
"Why? Afraid to get your hands dirty?" Sirius said, bitingly.
"No, she's just not a people person." Phoenix defended her friend passionately.
"I wonder where Lily and Sev are." Kally pondered aloud.
"Snivellius?" Sirius roared with laughter. "He was here earlier. Don't tell me you two want to be in Slytherin as well."
"What's wrong with Slytherin?" Kally asked.
"Everything!" James exclaimed.
"Why do you like Slytherin so much?" Sirius asked with an air of total dislike.
"My favorite colors are green and silver." Kally proudly said.
"I hope I'm in Gryffindor, scarlet and gold all the way!" Phoenix grinned.
James, Sirius, Kally and Phoenix finished the train ride in silence. Phoenix was reading a book and Kally was writing.
"We will be arriving at Hogwarts shortly." Phoenix said looking out her window.
"Err," began James. "Sirius and I have to change into our robes."
"Yeah, so, get lost." Sirius snapped.
Phoenix rolled her eyes. "See you, James."
"Yeah, Potter." Kally agreed, grabbing her bag.
As soon as the girls were out of the compartment, Phoenix turned to Kally.
"What do you think of them?" She asked.
"Potter is all right, but Black needs a reality check."
"Maybe we could give him one." Phoenix suggested.
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Kally asked, hopefully.
"Oh, yeah." Phoenix nodded.
