"Jo?" Lily asked me. We were at Muggle Studies and I love the subject. Even though my family is pureblood, we don't care at all. That's how my dad met Lily's mom. You see Lily and I are step-sisters. We're okay with the whole thing, we're actually best friends, I love Lily's mom too, but I've got reasons why I hate to go home.
"Yeah, Lils?" I reply to her, not keeping my eyes off the parchment paper that I was scribbling on. I like to draw whenever the teacher is answering a question that has nothing to do with the subject."Nicholas Jennings is looking at you again." She simply states. I close my eyes as I start to scribble even more. Nicholas? What could I say; everybody knows that this boy has been in love with me for so long. I feel sad, I don't like him but he's been getting on my nerves.
His stares make me want to die, he's just so scary! I'm not trying to be mean or anything, but he stares at you like you're ice cream and it's a very hot day.
"Let him. I'm sort of used to it." I say, as I start to sketch a butterfly that's flying near the window. Life is tough. I don't even know what he sees in me. I'm not that pretty as Lily is. I'm just polite and athletic. That's it. I'm very smart, but not as smart as Lily.
"Class, can I have your attention? Next class we are going to start dressing up in muggle clothes for your next assignment." Professor Flitwick tells us. Then Peter Pettigrew raises up his hands. One of the marauders, he isn't so bad. Just annoying and very slow in many things.
"Professor, we already wear muggle clothes?" Peter said more of asked a bit confused. The Professor only chuckled at him.
"Not those types of clothes. The clothes that men and woman wore in the 1800!" He squealed excitedly. I groaned. Corsets? Eww. My Mother . . . I mean I used to wear corset's whenever there was a big party to celebrate. It was horrible, I couldn't even breathe!"Now, class is dismissed and I will see you in three days!" Professor Flitwick said happily. I tried not to laugh; he was always funny when he said something happily. When he was happy he would always say something, singing. And believe me, he can't sing for dragons dung. We all started to gather up our supplies, until Lily was stuck with Potter again. What is his problem?
"LILY PAD! OH CARROTT TOP! I can't believe I haven't talked to you this whole day, when it's almost supper time!" James said, as he started to make a baby face. It was not a pleasant sight. He looked more constipated.
"Now, now Prongs. You don't want to frighten her!" Black spoke. God I hate his guts. He's so full of himself. Lily scoffed at that remark."FOR YOUR INFORMATION, I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU BLOODY MARAUDERS THINK!" Lily screamed. They backed off. I didn't feel like talking at all, I was sort of preoccupied that Nicholas was still looking at me even class was over. It's not that Nicholas wasn't attractive it's just that he was a bit like Black, but quieter.
"Hey Hasting!" I looked over to where Lily and the Marauders conversation were. I had that look like someone just explained something to me and I didn't get it like a toddler."Huh?" I say as I turn to them"Drop dead" Black says to me. Did I tell you that he hates my guts too? It happened ever since I came in first year. But I don't want to talk about it. That was the worst day of my life.
"You first, Black!" I angrily say, turning redder and redder, each second I saw his tad mark creep up his face. He started to walk before me. He was about 4 inches taller than me, it was a bit intimidating.
"I would drop dead, but who would kill you?" He asked trying to sound like he was the smartest person in the world. I got angry.
"I believe your mother would." I say to him, going a bit on my tippy toes, getting taller and taller. This is the part where he gets very angry and I get a bit scared.
"Drop it, Hastings!" He says. Surprisingly he didn't scream." You started it." I say defending myself."No you did, ever since first year!" He said at me. As he started to walk away from me. I walked up to him and turn him to face me."What Hastings? You want a kiss?" He starts to laugh, so does the other Marauders except Remus.
"FOR YOUR INFORMATION BLACK! YOU'RE THE ONE WHO KISSED ME!" I scream at him. He smirked again, which got me even madder. I can still remember how Sirius Black stole my first kiss.
"Lily! It's our first year here!" I said to Lily, my new step-sister, only a few months after my dad and her mom wedded.
"Let's find a compartment!" Lily as an eleven year old said in a high pitched voice. Soon after four boys walk into our compartment. To my amusement they were the most handsome boys I've ever met, except for one.
"May we sit here?" The one with black shaggy hair asked. Lily and I looked at him with awe. Of course Lily and I were very stupid and conceited at that age. We both nodded. The other boy with black hair and glasses stared Lily down.
"I'm James Potter! This is Sirius Black, RemusLupin and Peter Pettigrew!" James said to Lily. Lily smiled; she thought this boy was the cutest out of all of them. Joanne looked over to the other boys where she saw a blonde chubby boy, and a sandy haired, skinny, but handsome boy. Then she met the eyes of the shaggy haired boy, the one named Sirius.
"My name is Joanne Hastings and this is Lily Evans, but she's my step-sister." I say to them. They smile, as everything goes silent.
"So Lily, do you wanna go out with me?" James asked. Lily looked a bit shocked, but then a bit happy, she was about to reply when James said something."If you do we could snog all day!" He said, as he came towards her with open arms.Lily was now repulsed as she pushed him away. James of course was too strong, so they were in the middle of the compartment pushing each other. I tried to get James off her, while Sirius was trying to get Lily off of James. And to top off that, it was the bumpy part of the whole train ride. We were mostly all standing in the middle fighting, while we kept on falling or jumping because the train would hit a bumpy railroad. In the process I got elbowed in the stomach, face and the butt. Who happened to touch my butt? Sirius Black. I took Sirius as I tackled him.
"H-h-how-w d-d-dare-e yo-o-u to-o-o-uch me l-i-i-ike that!" I say to him trying not to hit anybody else. It sounded pretty funny since my voice was shaking from the train. The train suddenly hit a fast and sudden stop where all of us fell down and Sirius was toppled over my inches from each others face.
"Get off me, Black!' I hoarsely say to him.
"Not until I get something!" He replied, I've became very impatient, to me this boy weighed a thousand pounds!
"What is it?!" I say to him, as I struggle to get him off me."This." He says. I look a bit confused. Before I could say something, my lips were detained by the lips of his wonderful . . . no I mean disgusting lips.
That is how Sirius Black stole my first and precious kiss!!!!!" Oh yea, I was the one who was on you and yadda yadda ya!" He says getting closer to me trying to repeat that dreadful incident!"Oh forget it!" I say pushing him as far away as possible, but no matter how much I attempted, his feet were always planted in the same place. Sadly, he still weighed a thousand pounds. I finally gave up as I stormed out of the classroom, Lily still following, to the Gryffindor Common Room. CRAP! I forgot, Black and his crew are in Gryffindor too! It's been six years and I still forget!
