Hey everyone. This is my first fanfiction on this account. I really hope you like it. Reviews would be greatly appreciated, as would constructive critism.

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter, the Marauders, Hogwarts or anything you recognize. I do however own Evera Levett and this plot. Some snippitts may be taken from the little information J.K. gives us about the Marauders and Lily ocassionally, to make the plot flow.

At first I didn't even realize I was staring. I was just waiting for the examiner to call my name and I'd started day-dreaming, but then I noticed that I was staring-no more like gazing longingly- at him.

It seemed hard to believe. I mean, he's good-looking and all, but I didn't fancy him did I?

"Lanyon, Glory; Levett, Evera; Lesley, Alexander; Lupin, Remus."

At 'Levett, Evera' I jumped, then flinched. I hated the use of my full first name. I picked up my bag and followed the other three people into the examaning room for the practical part of my Charms OWL.

Well, as you already know, my name is Evie Levett. Actually, it's Evera Haley Tannis Levett. I will not allow any one besides my mum call me that, and even then it's hard to do. It's just such a horrid name. Anyway, I'm pretty much just an ordinary girl. I like to read and write and mostly I'm a quiet person. I'm fairly thin with long light blonde hair in loose curls and deep green eyes that contrast nicely with my pale skin. I wouldn't say I'm pretty or anything. I'm just average. Average Evie.

"Madam Marchbanks is free, Miss Levett." Professor Flitwick squeaked.

"Hello, dear. Evera Levett is it? Yes, I know your mother. Now, I'd like you to make this tea cup dance across this desk for me.- Ah, wonderful dear! Now can you get this piece of parchment to sing?- Fantastic! -And do you think you could make this pineapple do some cartwheels for me?-Lovely, dear!"

This went on for about 10 minutes and when I walked out of the exam room I felt very pleased with myself. Just Defense Against the Dark Arts, Arithmancy and Transfiguration left now.

As I walked out onto the grounds I noticed someone walk past me, but I didn't look up to see who it was, I was headed for my favorite tree. I plopped myself down and opened my book, leaning against the broad trunk of the oak tree.

Soon I was joined by a friend of mine.

"Evie, will you quiz me in Arithmancy?" Lily Evans asked, frantically. I smiled, looking into her emerald green eyes.

"Of course, Lils, but you have to quiz me, too alright?"

Lily sighed in relief.

"Sure, Evie. Thank god you're my best friend. I'm just so worried about this exam tomorrow. I really want to take NEWT Arithmancy."

"Don't worry Lils, you'll do great." I assured her. "I'm worried, too. It's a fascinating subject, but it can be so frustrating at times."

Lily nodded in agreement and handed me her copy of 'Numerology and Grammatica'.

"Ok, Chapter one..."

When I was about to start the third chapter, we were interupted by some very loud laughter.

"Ugh. Potter and his little friends. Honestly, can't they be civil and not interupt the peace for once in their egotistical lives?" Lily complained.

"Maybe they aren't that bad Lils. I mean look at Remus. He's quiet and smart. With a friend like Remus, James and Sirius can't be that bad. We all need a laugh every now and then. Perhaps we should follow suit. A day without laughter is a day wasted after all. Haven't you ever heard that saying by E.E. Cunnings?" I told her.

"No, actually, I haven't heard that saying before. I could do with a laugh though-" I guessed she realized what I'd said, because she then exclaimed "Are you insane? Follow suit of the Marauders! Have you lost all your marbles, Evie? Should I take you to St.Mungo's to get your head checked out. Not all that bad." She scoffed. "Potter and Black are insufferable, arrongant toe rags, Evie, even though I do admit that Remus is my friend."

"Chill Lils. I'm just saying. What do you say we go inside and eat. Dinner's just started."

Lily and I gathered up our books and walked slowly to the castle, chatting about the Arithmancy exam we had tomorrow. When we reached the great doors to the castle entrance hall, I paused and glance back.

My heart fluttered a little in my chest as I saw him laughing. His hair ruffled by the slight breeze, and a wide smile on his face.

In a few days time I wouldn't have to see him at all. I'd have the whole summer to forget about him and by the time I came back he'd mean nothing.

I didn't fancy him. I mean I couldn't, could I?

No. No, definately not.

I, Evera Haley Tannis Levett, did NOT fancy Sirius Black.

I know it's short, but this is only the first chapter and this is all I wanted to put there. The next chapter will start in 6th year.

These are some things I'd like you to know:

1)each chapter will be short - medium in length, depending on how I want to express the characters or cliff-hang the ending.

2)I will try to update everyday, now that it's summer holidays.

3)I will post author's notes if for some reason the post is delayed.

A/N: I will not be home for the next two days as I will be dropping my brother off at the airport in town. I will bring a note book and a pen to write some more chapters and I will type and post then when I get back home and settled away.

Thank you!
