Chapter 1

Abigail Potter woke up to the shrilly squeals of delight that echoed in her dormitory. She groaned for the umpteenth time. Her roommates, Holly Periwinkle, Dreas Stiffon, Fratora Filloips and  Kalea Yero were all huddled together looming over a picture of four young boys, who one of them, Abby suspected, was her very own brother, James Potter. Abby knew her brother and his other trio of friends were very popular the moment she entered Hogwarts, but that did not mean that she over-joyed with that fact. Everywhere she went people always told her how her brother was so charming, so witty, so gorgeous that it almost made her sick that she was his ickle baby sister. It also did not help that he reminded her that very particular fact everyday of her life at Hogwarts. The teachers particularly took part in this labor as they always told her how her brother was so ingenious in:

a) Transfiguration

b) Potions

c) Charms

d) Defense of the Dark Arts

At this, Abby would always roll her eyes discretely, then say with fake happiness how proud that she was his sister.

Not.

Even her roommates did not let her forget it. They practically kissed the floor upon he walked on. Almost everybody looked up to the Marauders, even some Slytherins who would not admit it. Everyone thought that they were perfect in every way, and even Dumbledore could not hide the fact that he was very proud of them, with some exceptions of their usual pranks. She had to give credits to Tora though. She had requested that she become less… hyperactive when they were around, and surely enough, it made a grand improvement. Though still, they were true Gryffindors in every aspect.

That was why everyone in the Great Hall almost fainted that year she entered when they learned that the famous James Potter's younger sister by two years was to become a Slytherin.

Abby haughtily got off her comfortable mass of pillows and turned to change into her school uniform in the bathroom, slamming it shut behind her.

*

Abby grudgingly ate her breakfast while behind her; a large crowd had formed around four Gryffindors. She did not even have to guess who they were from the "Ooohs" and "Ahhs". Her arrogant and oversized headed brother was probably showing off some tricks he learned to the rest of the students. That was another reason why she hated her brother; he always loved being the center of attention and would do anything to get it, particularly in front of a certain redheaded girl named Lily Evans. Even though she was a Gryffindor, Abby held some respect for the prefect; Lily was the only other person in the whole school that agreed that her brother was a self-centered git. The two hated each other, almost as much as James had hated Snape, and he always loved pulling pranks in front of her because she always disapproved of them and got mad.

Abby groaned when she heard footsteps behind her and when the sudden commotion died down. She turned to face her dear loving brother, and glared at him with all her might. James, of course, wasn't even fazed by this since he was already used to his sister's bitterness towards him, and also used it to his advantage. Behind him, Sirius Black, the most handsome and yearned for boy in the school grinned at her. Peter Pettigrew was also behind James, as always, and tried to look dignified as well, but failed miserably. Remus Lupin just smiled at her in a polite sort of way. Remus was the only person whom Abby could stand from her bother's choice of friends. Remus had dignity, maturity and self-restraint compared to the other three, and he was not as hot-headed as well, but that did not mean he didn't participate in her brother's pranks, which was he only had a small part of her respect.

"How is my ickle baby Abbykins doing today? It's such a beautiful day, don't you just feel care-free and happy?" asked James with a wide grin upon using her most hated nickname.

"Yes. I'm almost glowing with joy," she stated, rolling her eyes and returning to her meal. "Shouldn't you go back to your friends? You wouldn't want to keep them waiting, since they are just jumping at the chance to become your slaves," she said with bitterness hinted within each and every word. She had since long ago lost her appetite, and only pushed her plate of eggs, bacon, fried sausages and baked potatoes away.

"Oh, don't be so jealous Abby, I'm giving you my un-divided attention here, you should be honored!" exclaimed James, his grin widening even more. Abby growled under her breath, and uttered some very unkind words as she marched out of the Great Hall.

"You know James, maybe you should cut down on taunting your sister, with all this, she might one day crack," stated Remus with concern. James gave him a knowing glance.

"She already cracked a long time ago."

*

Abby stomped into the Slytherin common room and dropped herself into one of the emerald green chairs. She hated her brother whenever he did that, making her seem as if she were below him. Abby looked around the room, checking if anyone was with her then. All the Slytherins were already downstairs eating breakfast, so she did not need to worry. She closed her eyes and concentrated deeply, then transported herself into her own mind spaced room.

Abby had stumbled upon this discovery when, one day, James had pulled one his horrible pranks on her. Oh yes, just because she was family did not mean she didn't get her share of pranks. She was so overwhelmed with fury and concentrated so hard on trying to get away from all the embarrassment and torture, that she had, unknowingly, created her own Mind Room. It was where she went when she needed to concentrate, and she could change it to whatever she wanted, almost like the Room of Requirement of which she over-heard from James, except that this was a place where nobody could enter. Right now, the room looked like a library, the walls covered in shelves and shelves of books. In the middle was placed four comfy looking sofas and chairs all around an antique-looking table with different patterns. Abby sighed in contentment. The room was illuminated by a very large window, and sunlight pouring in, even though the room was inside her own head. Abby sat down in one of the light yellow colored chairs, and just enjoyed the peace and quietness.

*

Tora searched everywhere for her friend in the common room. Today was a Saturday, and she was going to see if Abby wanted to go walking around the school aimlessly or wander into the Forbidden Forest to see if they could find a different breed of animals in there. Tora searched the Great Hall, and her eyes laid on the quartet of young Gryffindors to whom she respected very much, and walked in their direction. The four suddenly burst out laughing clutching their stomachs to and gasping for breath, and Tora wondered what possibly could have made them laugh this much. The laughter died down when they suddenly noticed her walked towards them, and James gave her a big grin.

"Hey Tora, has my sister been torturing you with complaints about me yet?" he asked.

"No, and that's why I'm worried. Have any of you seen Abby?" she asked.

"We saw her this morning, but Prongs here made her go mad a while ago, and she just kind've stormed off in annoyance," said Sirius in a lazy kind of tone. Tora nodded then turned her back on them and walked away. She now knew where Abby had gone.

*

Tora entered the Slytherin common room and looked around. No one was in sight. She whipped out her wand and said in a clear and powerful voice, "Redeemus mintriarcus!". Moments later, a peaceful Abby appeared, her eyes still closed and she was hovering above the floor. She was fully aware of where she was when she had fallen on the floor with a loud "Thump!". Abby groaned as Tora helped her up.

"What did you do that for?" asked Abby, her foul mood returning.

"I was getting lonesome and wanted to know if you wanted to hang out with me!" she said with a big smile.

Abby sighed and nodded her head slowly, but surely. Both of the Slytherin girls came out of their common room and bumped right into Severus Snape.

"Hello Severus," greeted Abby airily. Unlike her brother, Abby did not mind the hooked-nose greasy-haired Slytherin. In fact, it was mostly because James hated him that she found him acceptable. Snape, likewise, respected Abby and her dislike for James. He nodded at her and walked into the common room.

When he was out of sight, Tora shivered. "That man has to be one of the scariest people I know."

"At least he picks his enemies fine." And with that, the two girls once again headed in the direction of the Forbidden Forest.

*

"So, what would you three like to do today?" asked James to his three best friends. The four were sprawled out in front of the tree that was unofficially made theirs. Sirius laid back his arms behind his head, watching as the clouds went by, and smirked whenever a girl would look at him and blush. He had gotten used to this kind of attention long ago, and frankly, he was enjoying it more than ever.

"Depends, we have already pulled the usual daily prank on Snivellus. There isn't much to do than that," he said, casting a glance to his other friends.

"Isn't there a Hogsmeade trip coming up?" asked Remus, his nose still buried in his book.

"Oh yes, I almost forgot about that. So Padfoot, which lucky girl are you going to ask out this time?" asked James, grinning from ear to ear.

"I don't really know, perhaps that Ravenclaw girl that's in our Herbology class. Now what was her name…?"

"You mean Arianna Korvetta? Sorry mate, but rumor has it that she's already with one of the Ravenclaw beaters, Thomas Finn. "

"Oh shucks, then maybe I should go ask Lily then…" said Sirius, with a mischievous twinkle in his eye.

James look horrified. "Are you mad Padfoot?? Have you gone insane?! Here, let me check if you've run a fever." James was about to put his hand on Sirius' forehead when two dark figures emerged from the Forbidden Forest. Remus gave a small gasp, and James tried to get a closer look at whom it was. His eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when he realized that one of them was Abby. James jumped up front the position he was in and ran like a stag towards her. She did not look well. Her robes were torn in different places, some visible bleeding could be seen on the side of her head. A large gash could be seen on the side of her stomach, and she was limping. Tora could not be described in a better condition. Like Abby, her robes were torn, almost completely on her left side. There was a deep cut on her right cheek, and her arm was slung over Abby's shoulders. Her leg was almost lifeless as it was being dragged.

"What on Earth have you two been doing??!" James asked, as he helped Tora by slinging her other arm over his shoulders.

"Mind your own business, James! We don't need your help!" Abby clutched her stomach even tighter, and that was when he noticed that Abby had something underneath her robes.

"Abby, what do you have underneath there?" he asked as he pointed towards her stomach. Abby glanced at the direction is which his finger was pointing at, then glared at him with even more determination.

"It's nothing now just go away!"

"Abby! You're practically handicapped! Tora isn't in any better condition, now tell me!"

"NO!"

"ABBY!"

"WHAT are you two yelling about??" asked Professor McGonagall as she ran towards them. She gasped in surprise and yelled for Remus.

"Lupin, I want you to help Tora to the Hospital Wing, Madame Pomfrey should be able to do something about her leg." Remus nodded and then proceeded in slinging Tora's arm over his shoulders.

"Now, Potter, what have you got underneath your robes, and what in the name of Merlin have you been doing in the Forbidden Forest! The name itself is self-explanatory!" yelled Professor McGonagall.

"I haven't been doing anything, I swear!" exclaimed James.

"She means ME you insufferable git!" said Abby rolling her blue-gray eyes.

"Yes I did, now proceed into giving me your explanation," she said very sternly. Abby opened her mouth and closed it, unsure of what to say. Suddenly, the inside of her robes shook, and out came a baby dragon shooting out of her belly. Many by-standers opened their mouths wide in shock, thinking that Abby had given birth to a dragon. Professor McGonagall gave a short scream before getting into action.

"Stupefy!" The dragon suddenly stopped flying, and when it looked like it was going to hit the ground, Professor McGonagall then did the "Wingardium Leviosa!" charm. The baby dragon floated over into her arms. She narrowed her eyes until they became slits.

"Abigail Potter, follow me," she seethed, then gave a sharp turn and headed in the direction of the school. Abby shook with fury, and turned to her brother.

"I hate you!" Then also marched up behind the professor. James stared open-mouthed at his sister's retreating form. Of course he knew that Abby held some sort of grudge towards him.

But she had never, once in her lifetime, actually told him out loud that she hated him.

A/N: Soooo, what did you think? My first Harry Potter fic! I know there isn't much romance in this one, but soon my friends, soon… I'm going to make up for not putting in enough of Sirius also ^^. Until next time!
