One night the Marauders catch the quite Gryffindor walking out of the common room, they then decided to follow her.

Maiden of Song

Chapter One: Lena Kotani


"Padfoot! Oi Padfoot wake up!" James Potter muttered as he nudged is friend awake for the third time during the current Transfiguration class. Sirius Black yawned quietly, so no one would hear him, and sat up looking over to James. "Why'd you wake me up," He whispered. "I was having a good dream." James chuckled quietly as Sirius elbowed him in the stomach. Transfiguration was a boring subject to the boys, hence why Sirius usually slept and James always stayed awake to wake him up.

"Now everyone please pick up your wands and-" Professor McGonagall had began but was interrupted when a girl, sitting behind James and Sirius, raised her hand. McGonagall looked at the clock sitting on her desk. "Oh Mrs. Kotani, I forgot the time. You may go."

The girl nodded and bundled up her books and placed them in her bag. She was an attractive young girl, but no one really knew what she was like, she never really talked. Sirius propped his head on his shoulder and viewed the girl, Lena Kotani. She had medium length, black hair, which matched her well-shaped, sapphire blue, eyes. Lena walked pasted Sirius and quietly exited the room.

"Ok, as I was saying…"

"Why, do you think, that girl always leaves class?" Sirius asked James, ignoring what the Professor was saying.

"I dunno, I think I heard she goes to the headmasters office." James replied, as he picked up his wand and began to attempt to turn the ink bottle, in front of him, into a feather. Catching on, Sirius picked up is own wand and tried to do the same.

Soon enough the class was over, and Sirius and James were making their way up to the Gryffindor common room, seeing as they had free time before dinner. "Fizzy pop." James said threw mid yawn, so the portrait of the fat lady would open up and let them into the common room. "Ohh Prongs!" A short, stubby, boy called out as the two entered. Peter Pettigrew ran up to James, referring him to a nickname they all used on him. "Yo, Wormtail." He yawned again as he walked past the boy and took a seat in the middle of the common room, Sirius followed.

"You two have a good class?" Another boy, sitting across them, asked peering out behind a book he was reading.

"Boring." Sirius groaned. "I must have slept two times."

"Three." James corrected. "How was your class Moony?" He asked after a moment, also referring to this boy by a nickname. The other boy, Remus Lupin, smiled placing down his book. "It was alright." He said. Remus brushed some light brown strands of hair out of his eyes and picked up his book again.

The boys talked for a while until it was dinner time, in which they all walked down to the great hall together. On they way down Sirius caught a glimpse of the girl Lena stepping out of an empty classroom. She was looking at something in her hand, but as soon as she saw the boys approaching she quickly stuffed her hands into her pockets and hurried off. "Wonder what she was doing in there." Remus said as he too watched Lena run off.

"Who knows? She is a weird girl." Sirius stretched.

"She isn't that weird, Sirius" Remus sighed.

"She doesn't talk to anyone!"

"Yes she does. She and I talk during charms." Remus said.

"Yeah whatever." Padfoot grunted, and began to seed up toward the great hall. "I am hungry!"

"You idiot! You can't let people see you like that!" Lena Kotani said to herself as she wandered down the school corridors. She ran her fingers through her hair. Sighing, she reached into her pocket, Making sure no one was around. She pulled out a little ring from her pocket, looked at it a few times around, and then placed it back into her pocket. She quickly made her way up to the common room, to place the ring safely with her stuff, then went back down to the great hall, for some food. She had missed the dinner but made it in time for desert. She received some awkward stares as she walked in the great hall, but ignored them, quickly getting to the Gryffindor table and sitting down.

She ate quietly not talking to anyone, but that was normal for her. She didn't have many friends, or any at that matter. She did talk to some girls every now and again, but it wasn't like she was best friends with them. Lena did feel lonely most of the time, but she was content. Staying quiet gave her time to focus on controlling her powers. "You may not have much time, Lena, therefore you need to keep yourself focused on the tasks at hand." Dumbeldore's words ran through her head. She sighed and took a few more bites of her pudding. By the time she finished eating it was time to go back to the common room for the night.

As she was walking out of the great hall two tall, seventh year, Slytherin's made it a purpose to knock Lena over. She gritted her teeth as she hit the ground. "Watch where you are walking girl!" The Slytherin grunted as he walked past her. "Same to you!" She growled only to herself. She picked herself up. She then began to walk again.

"Excuse me." Lena stopped walking as she felt someone tap her back. She turned around to see a familiar face. Remus Lupin stepped beside her. "Oh hello, Remus." Lena said quietly.

"You seemed to have drop this." He said holing up the ring. The female looked around then felt her pockets realizing she had dropped it.

"Thank you." She said taking it from his hands.

"You are welcome. Quite old looking that ring. Eh, anyways well see you around." Remus smiled then turned away from her and walked back to his group of friends.

Back in the common room Lena stayed up until the other Gryffindor went to bed. She yawned, tired, but knew she had to stay awake. She looked at her watch and took to her feet. "Well I better get going." She said to herself. She looked around making sure no one was around and stepped out of the common room.

"Come on get under the cloak!" Sirius whispered angrily to Wormtail. The blond boy got out of bed slipped on some shoes and ran under James' invisibility cloak. It was hard to get all of them under the cloak now that they had all grown, but they managed. The boys were about to walk down to the common room when they saw Lena Kotani.

"Gah! What is she doing up?" James groaned.

"Hold on a second… She is leaving…?" Peter said softly as he pointed to the girl who was now walking out of the common room.

"Come on! Lets follow her!" Sirius said beginning to walk after her. They caught up to her and walked out of the room.

They swiftly followed the girl all the way to the outside of Hogwarts. How she didn't get caught by any of the teachers walking around, it was beyond them. A few times there feet became visible but luckily she did not see. Once outside, Lena looked around. "Professor… are you there?" She called out to the darkness. The boys quickly ran over to a bush and took of the invisibility cloak, knowing they would not be seen.

"Right on time, I see." The voice of an old man came into earshot as Dumbledore walked out from the school. "I have enchanted the windows, so if anyone is to wake up and look out the windows they will not see us. Lena smiled at this comment. "Now do you have everything?"

"Yes." Lena reached into her pockets and took out the ring. Dumbledore smile gazing at the ring.

"Good, good. Now I assume you wore the right clothes?" The old Headmaster asked. Lena nodded and took of her Hogwarts robes to reveal a shirt with two long, vertical, cuts in the back. She stretched her hands and prepared to put the ring onto her finger. When she placed the ring on her finger her whole body lit up to the point here she was nothing but a mass of light. The boys watched with eyes open wide, as two giant, white feathered, wings sprouted on her back. Dumbledore smiled as soon the light around Lena subsided. The female looked amazed as she turned her head to see the wings.

"Now, shall we start our lessons."
