**A/N: This story is adopted from the ever amazing sandersonsisters, who graciously allowed me to adopt the first six amazing chapters of her story! *Round of applause* Basically, I will be reposting all of her chapters with some editing, then adding my own at Chapter Seven. Even though this is her work so far, I hope you like it and continue to read! And now, the moment you've all been waiting for:**

Chapter One

You know, when girls talk about the Marauders and which of the famous four they have a crush on (and everyone girl likes at least one, no matter what they say) Remus Lupin's name comes up surprisingly little. I mean, I know it's usually James or Sirius that gets the girls attention, and even Peter has a little fan base of Hufflepuffs, but not Remus.

It was explained to me that a lot of girls didlike Remus, but very few considered pursuing it. Why do you ask? Easy, because in the six years we've been at Hogwarts, Remus has only dated one girl— even though many have asked him. Girls claim it's just a complete waste of time.

It's really too bad I'm not like most girls. At first, I didn't give Remus a second thought, I was to hung up on the famous Sirius Black.

Then, one day in my forth year, I tripped in the hallway, my books skid across the floor, and I landed on all four. Hard. Everyone laughed. I looked up and saw a group of Slytherins, Hufflepuffs, and two Ravenclaws. All laughing. Then I saw the Marauders. James, Sirius, and Peter were howling. But not Remus. He just bent down and helped me retrieve my books, then handed them to me with a small smile.

That was the day I said goodbye to Sirius, and hello to Remus.

Too bad that was the last time he ever noticed me.

Our house, Gryffindor, is split into two groups. Those groups are the Marauders, and then everyone that hangs around Lily Evans. Then there's me. I don't talk to anyone. Truthfully, I don't think anyone knew my name. I was just…there.

And now its seventh year. And, as always, I'm sitting in compartment by myself on the train. I was always by myself. I inhaled as the train started moving, pulling out of the station. This was it. The last time leaving the station.

I jumped as the compartment door slid open. I looked up into the hazel eyes of James Potter. "Do you mind if we sit here?" He questioned. "Everywhere else is full."

"Go ahead." I said, sounding completely calm. Inside, I was grinning like mad, but I leaned my head against the cold compartment window as an attempt to feign indifference.

"Found one!" James yelled behind him, pulling his trunk fully inside.

A minute later, Sirius came barging in, his grey eyes quickly scanning my over. Then he grabbed his trunk and stored in overhead. Peter was next, looking at me and blushing. Then Remus walked in. My eyes drank in his sandy brown hair, his lightly scarred face, and his fit body. Then I turned my head away quickly. I didn't want him to think I was watching him or something…

James and Sirius sat across from each other by the door and Peter sat across from me. Remus ended up sitting between me and James. Oh, be still my heart….

We all sat in awkward silence for awhile. I was desperately trying to think of something to say. I came up with nothing.

Finally, Sirius broke the silence. "Prongs, aren't you Head Boy?"

James looked confused. "Yeah…?"

"Shouldn't you be at the meeting?"

Silence ensued. Then, "Oh hell!" And James went flying into the hall.

The remaining Marauders chuckled, then Sirius turned his gaze on me. "So, what's your name?"

Inwardly, I cringed. "Alexa, Alex."

"What house are you in, Alex?" Sirius continued his questioning.

"The same as you."

Silence again. All three of the Marauders exchanged a look. "What year?" Remus asked finally.

I sighed and he winced.

"Ours huh?"

I nodded.

"Sorry," he muttered.

I shrugged. "Why haven't we seen you before?" Peter asked.

Remus rolled his eyes. "Way to go Pete."

Peter blushed and looked down at his lap. I answered him anyway. "Nobody notices me. Most of the girls don't even know my name and share a room with them."

Awkward silence. Then… "Well, we'll be your friends!" Sirius said, bouncing up and down like a four year old.

I raised my eyebrows.

"I'm serious!" he said, then winced. "Bad joke."

I rolled my eyes, then noticed Remus doing the same thing. Sirius frowned at both of us. "Oh, come on! We're good friends!" he whined.

"I bet you are," I said, rolling my eyes again. I really need to work on that…. "But you are—" I broke off.

"Are what?" Sirius questioned.

I shook my head, then glanced quickly at Remus. Sirius caught the look. He smirked at me knowingly and I instantly felt sick to my stomach. "Moony, tell Alex we'd be good friends."

"I'm not going to force her to talk to us Padfoot." Remus countered, then turned to me. "Though we would be good friends and you're more than welcome to hang out with us whenever you wish."

I swallowed hard, then nodded. Sirius had the knowing grin on his face again and I scowled at him. The grin just got bigger.

Remus smiled at me. "Good then." He glanced down at his watch. "We'd better change." He grabbed his robes and headed out the door, Peter following him.

Sirius stood and sat next to me, throwing his arm around my shoulder. "So how long have you liked Remus?"

I looked away. "I don't know what you're talking about."

Sirius let out a bark-like laugh. "Oh, don't try to hide it love. When it comes to this, I'm always right."

I swallowed hard. "Sirius—"

"I won't say a thing." He grinned. "And trust me, Remus won't notice. He's a little oblivious to this type of thing." He looked out the window and stood. "Better change." And he was gone.

*What You Wish For*

They came back a few minutes later, luckily I had changed quickly. James was with them and he had the same smirk on his face that Sirius had. I glared. He laughed.

"Why do I feel like I'm being kept out of something?" Remus asked, shaking his head slightly and pulling his trunk down as the train came to a stop.

"Because you always are mate," Sirius said, playfully punching him in the shoulder. "Alex is going to ride in the carraige with us!"

I raised my eyebrows. "I am?"

"Of course you are!" James answered for his best friend, throwing his arm around my shoulder. "Might as well start with the best friends thing now."

Remus rolled his eyes. "James, I went over this with Sirius already. You can't force her to do anything. It's up to her."

"But she wants to sit with us!" James protested to his friend. "Right?" He said turning to me and giving me a puppy face.

I couldn't help but laugh, though a little softly. "Fine."

"Yay!" Sirius beamed at me and James smirked muttering something about it working every time.

They pulled me out of the train and into the carriage, somehow managing to get Remus and me next to each other. My entire left side was pressed against him and he cleared his throat and put his arm around the back of the seat to give us more room. Though all it did was insure that my left side was now pressed even closer against his chest. Sigh. I mean…uh…not sigh or something…

"So this summer—" Sirius started, telling some story about something that happened when he was at James house. James intervened every few moments to add in more details, and Peter was hanging on ever word. I laughed when I felt I was supposed to, but truthfully I was too focused on the body pressed against mine to listen. Remus didn't seem to be paying enough attention either because after the first story James and Sirius just exchanged a smirk and started talking softly to each other and Peter tried to listen in.

Finally, we made it to the castle and we all got out of the carriage. I thought this was the end of my time with the Marauders, seeing as whenever the boys were in the great hall to eat it was like a race to see who could have the privilege of sitting beside them. I never had.

But much to my surprise, Sirius pulled me to the bench and pushed me down in between him and Remus. A hush fell over the Gryffindors as they stared at this spectacle. I blushed and looked down at my plate as the whispering started.

"Don't we know her—"

"Who is she—"

"Which one is she dating—"

"Remus or Sirius?"

"Just ignore them," Remus told me softly as he noticed my fingers twisting together. "They thrive on gossip…especially about these two." He motioned to James and Sirius who just laughed.

"Well, why wouldn't they?" Sirius asked, shrugging his shoulders. "We are great."

Remus shook his head. "Only in your mind."

Sirius pouted and then the sorting ceremony began. Once again, I didn't pay much attention. Dumbledore gave his speech and then, finally, we got food.

"So, any siblings, Alex?" James asked as he stuffed food into his mouth. It was kind of revolting actually…

I nodded. "Younger sister. She's in Ravenclaw actually." I said, motioning to the blonde at the end of the table.

They all turned to look and Sirius started choking on his food. "Ex-girlfriend Sirius?" Remus asked wryly, handing him a glass of water.

Sirius drank the water gratefully, then turned to me. "Uh…"

I laughed softly once again. "I know you dated her for like two weeks. Trust me, I heard all about it."

James and Remus laughed and Sirius sent me an amused smirk. "So you're the big sister that she always talked about."

I shrugged. "I'm the only one she has, so I guess so."

Lily appeared behind James, glaring down at him. "Potter, we need to go."

He smiled brightly. "Ah, Lily! Of course we shall go, my dear. But first, have you met Alex?"

Lily looked at me and frowned slightly. "Uh…"

I rolled my eyes. "We've shared a room for the last six years."

Lily blushed brightly. "Oh! I'm sorry—"

"It's fine." I cut her off, looking back down at my plate.

I heard James and Lily walk away and looked up to see the three boys staring at me. "What?"

"You weren't kidding, were you?" Sirius said in amazement.

I shrugged. "No."

"Well." He said, sighing deeply. "I guess that means you're my new project!"

I looked at him a moment, then looked at Remus. "What is he talking about?"

Remus looked about as weary as I felt. "I'm not sure. What do you mean Padfoot?"

Sirius sighed. "Don't you see Moony? Our project this semester is to get everyone to notice our little Alex here! It'll be fun!"

I stared at him in amazement. "Yeah, fun. That's the word I'd use."
