Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters except the ones you don't recognise.

An: This is set in the 5th year of MWPP time. It will have L&J romance but I am fixing the others up as well. It's more a story about the character that I created, at the moment, but I might make it more L/J later on, I don't know. I think this is an original idea but if it is the same as anybody else's it is entirely coincidental.
Hidden identity
James and Remus strolled along the corridor on their way to DADA. They were meeting the other two there, as they had to talk to Professor McGonagall about a detention they had received.
"Did you see the look on her face! Priceless!" James laughed

"I know" Remus giggled " but won't Sirius and Peter be pissed off that we didn't tell them about it?" he questioned

" How could they after that?" he could barley speak from laughter

The both continued to laugh all the way to DADA, which they had with Slytherin.

When they got there they saw Sirius and Peter sitting separately with different people. They looked questionably at them and Sirius nodded towards Professor Vinthly the DADA teacher. A kind man who believed everyone should be friends and always tried to make Slytherin and Gryffindor friends.

"Hello boys, glad you made it. Mr. Black informed me that you might be late." The professor said cheerfully.

He looked around the classroom and his eyes stopped on two girls sitting at a desk in the front row.

Lily Evans and Gladys Merton. The two were very different yet they were the best of friends.

Lily Evans was an excellent student. She was friendly and popular, she was also very pretty. She had long curly fiery red hair and the most entrancing green eyes you had ever seen. She was tall, slim and had curves in all the right places. If you looked at her she could easily pass as eighteen or nineteen despite being only fifteen.

Gladys Merton on the other hand was unusually short and rather plump. She had short-cropped dirty blonde hair, her skin was blotted in spots huge horn-rimmed glasses hid her eyes. She was very quite and reserved, people in her own house's year only knew her because she was lily's friend. She was mostly ignored.

Gladys had transferred to Hogwarts the last term and the girls had become very close.

Lily had changed since meeting Gladys. She had stopped going out with boys and started to concentrate on her schoolwork. She was very protective of Gladys who seemed scared of everyone but lily.

" Miss Evans would you mind moving to that desk over there with Mr. Lupin" the professor asked

Lily stared at him as he was mad and Gladys looked petrified. Lily opened her mouth but nothing came out.

Several Slytherin's sniggered but soon shut up at the glares Sirius and James gave them.

"Come you two, it's not the end of the world it's only one lesson. Hurry up now Miss Evans, Mr. Lupin won't bite." He started to usher her to her new seat.

Lily muttered something and sat down glumly casting worried glances at her friend who was now sitting next to James.

James turned to Gladys once he got his books out and whispered a greeting trying to make her more at ease. This just made her look more scared and he decided it best to leave her alone.

"What's up with her?" Remus asked Lily

"Nothing" she snapped

Remus held his hands up defensively in front of him.

"Sorry I didn't mean it the way it sounded" he replied

"No I should be. I didn't mean to snap, it's just she is a really shy person and being around strangers scares her"

Remus nodded his head understandingly and returned listening to the professor who was cheerfully talking about how to defend your self against a Chimaera.

Gladys breathing sped up and her whole body trembled. It was the first time she had to sit next to anyone except Lily and she terrified.

James looked over and was seriously shocked at how his presence was effecting Gladys. He half expected her to keel over and die any minute.

Finally the bell rang and they all exited. James and Remus both watched lily run over to Gladys who was practically in tears and walk off presumably back to their dorm.

" Didn't no you smelt that bad prongsy old boy" Sirius laughed. But he quieted on James and Remus's somber expressions.

"What could possibly make her that scared of sitting next to anyone but lily?" Remus sighed as they walked off

"Something I doubt we'll ever guess" James replied
An. I know that wasn't the best beginning but carry on reading cos I promise it gets better. Peter doesn't really say much (or nothing in this chapter) but I don't like him so I cant be bothered to give him a big part, lets just pretend he's lost his voice.

Bye
