James Potter was sitting by the window in his dorm. Recently he had found himself thinking about Lily Evan more and more and he didn't know why. It was no big secret between the marauders that James loved Lily; it was only her that was oblivious to it. James just wished that Lily would feel the same way.
Meanwhile Lily Evans was sitting in the common room helping to organise the upcoming ball.
"Hey Lil." It was Natalie, one of Lily's best friends "Where's James? Thought he was helping you with the ball that the head girl asked you to help with?"
"He is! But I don't know where he is." Lily replied
"Well while we are on the subject of the ball, who are you asking?" Natalie asked.
"I don't know, haven't thought about that yet." Lily answered without looking up.
"Who are you asking?"
"Well DUH! Who do you think I'm asking? Sirius of course, he is my boyfriend." Natalie looked shocked at Lily wondering why she needed to ask who she was taking.
At that precise moment James walked in and sat down between Lily and a girl who he had never seen in his life. "Hi. I'm James. What's your name?"
"Hi. My names Hannah, Hannah Black." The girl replied.
"You aren't any relation to Sirius Black are you?" James asked politely
"Yeah unfortunately, you know him do you?" Hannah asked.
"Know him! Of course I know him, He's my best mate." James said.
Next thing Sirius burst in through the common room entrance laughing.
"Hey James mate. Hey who's the good looking gal?" Sirius asked in between stifled laughter.
"Ermmmm..." James was about to tell him until
"SIRIUS BLACK! IS THAT ANYWAY TO GREET YOUR FAVE COUSIN?" Hannah shouted, in a voice that sounded so much like his mother's that Sirius almost fainted.
"OH MY GOD! Hannah is that you, what are you doing at Hogwarts?" Sirius asked surprised.
"Either you have a VERY bad memory or you are a bit slow on the uptake. I got kicked out of me last school didn't I and I told you that I was coming to Hogwarts. REMEMBER." Hannah shook her head.
"Oh yeah now I remember. And I said you could become a marauder."
"WHAT! Sirius mate you said she could be a marauder, without asking us." James asked sort of angry and amazed. "What makes her so special anyway."
"Erm mate, she has been in more trouble than ALL of the Marauders put together, that's what makes her so special." Sirius answered
Remus looked up from his essay and said.
"Hey you just wait till you meet my twin sis Rachel. She will make Hannah look harmless."
"You have a TWIN SISTER! How come you never told us?" James and Sirius said in unison looking outraged.
"Yeah I do. I'm sure I told you guys but maybe I didn't." Remus gave them an apologetic look.
"Let me get this straight, you have a twin sister and in all of the about 6-7 years we have known you, you never told us and we've never met her." James shouted back angrily.
"Um, yeah. Guys, this is Rachel." Remus said and revealed a slim girl with quite short blonde hair about 5 feet tall, with stunning oval shaped blue eyes.
