Chapter 1
Coming Home
Sirius
I sat down on the damp grass, not particularly bothered by the wetness seeping through my trousers. My most recent girlfriend had left me and now all I had left to do was sit and wait for James to come back from wherever he had disappeared to. He was always disappearing when I needed him. He was my wingman with the women, and now I was stuck with wormtail.
"Will you stop that, Wormtail. Your ruining my cred with the ladies" Peter fidgeted in his seat on the grass, his beady eyes searching around the place for anyone to relieve him of his duties. He was always the one that Remus chose to keep me out of trouble. Twitchy little git. Just then as if to save us both James and Remus bounded over. They had grins plastered over their faces like court jesters and I knew instinctively that something good had happened. Well, of course it had if they were grinning like that.
"Well, out with it! I can tell your dying to tell me" I snapped, still angry at them for leaving me with Pettigrew.
"Well, you'll never believe it, we didn't at first…." Remus began to speak before he was quickly cut off by an immensely excitable James.
"There's a new girl!! In our year!" At the words "new girl" I immediately perked up. I smirked my legendary smirk.
"Really…"
James
From the first time I saw her, I knew that something was just… right, about her. Something in her eyes told me she had seen so much. Only 17 and already so much wisdom behind those gorgeous blue pools. But I wasn't interested in that. Not now anyway. In years to come I imagined I would remember those pools as the gateways to heaven but right now there was only one girls eyes I wanted to look into.
I instinctively looked down at the grass as that thought entered my head. Her eyes, Lily's eyes, they were the colour of this grass. But better.
"What do you think of her James? You seemed really excited a minute ago but now your all quiet." Remus' voice interrupted my thoughts. I looked up to see three sets of faces staring at me. All of them displaying a different emotion. Remus, concern; Peter, distaste; and Sirius, mischief.
I knew what he was planning and for some unknown reason distaste and dislike rose in me at the thought of the things he was planning to do to that beautiful new girl. I scowled at him.
"Nothing much. She's alright but she's no Lily" I said it flippantly enough to make them think I couldn't care less but Remus' concern remained firmly glued to his face.
"Hmmm… Anyway we all have to look after her while she's here. She says she was born in France and was supposed to go to Beauxbatons. But She's in Gryffindor now. She's one of us." he said it like none of us wanted to spend time with this beautiful new French girl. But I knew what he was thinking.
We had to protect her from Sirius' "charm".
Later That Day
"So do you know where to go for transfiguration miss Trelawney?" I asked her staring into her face.
"Yes I'll be fine, and call me Lizzy. Please." her cheeks bloomed bright red when I looked at her. But she wasn't shy, not in the least.
"Hey, Miss…I mean Lizzy," she nodded, smiling sweetly, " can I ask you a personal question?" She giggled as if I had said something hilarious.
"Yes of course, Harry you can ask me anything." she replied shaking her glorious brunette curls like it was a stupid question.
"Are you related to professor Trelawney?" I asked, then suddenly I thought back to her previous comment. Then it struck me like lightning. "Wait did you call me Harry? Who's Harry?" I quizzed her.
"Oh my god. I'm sorry, he's been like a brother to me since I lost my parents and well, you just look so alike." She sighed obviously reliving a painful memory.
"I'm sorry, I forget where I am sometimes. Thanks for showing me round James." with that final word, she turned away from me, leaving me standing there like a fool.
Lizzy
It was wrong. This was all wrong, not at all like I'd expected. I'd expected to be back in Calais in 1977, but here I was in Hogwarts once again.
So many things that weren't what they should be. So many people I felt like I knew from their own children.
It just wasn't how it should be. But there was one thing I was glad for. James and the marauders.
I'd never had the chance to meet James Potter in the future, but I was glad I had now. He was lovely and so were his friends, although I couldn't help but notice some evil stares coming from the direction of a certain red haired, green eyed beauty.
I was standing in the Gryffindor common room, the beautiful red and gold room I had called my home for years, reading. And as yet I had not realised the heated stares being shot my way.
"What were you doing with James?" she asked suddenly shocking me out of my own head.
"Excuse me, miss…?" I shook my head in disgust at her tone.
"Evans, Lily Evans. I'd like it if you answered my question miss Trelawney" she snapped.
"Oh… Lily, I'm sorry for offending you by being new and needing to be shown round, but if your jealous I'm sure I can get you a date." I knew it was an obnoxious thing to say. I knew it was wrong to speak to her like that, but she was asking for it. Lily shook out her red locks and stood up. A loud huffing sound issued from her lips before she sauntered off her head held high in pride.
Out of the corner of my eye I saw someone draw their wand at me. If They were going to hex me then I would be ready. I drew my own dragons scale wand from my robes pocket, spinning round to face the girl. I was shocked. In front of my very eyes stood an exact replica of Ginny Weasley. I gasped in shock and she just rolled her eyes and walked away.
"Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas any more." I whispered. This was not the home coming I had expected.
