"Wake up!"

Ugh! Go away. I grabbed my pillow and pulled it up over my head and tried to ignore the rather large nuisance in my life.

"Nope." The nuisance said popping the 'p' on his refusal. "Get up!"

I pulled the pillow tighter over my head whilst restraining a groan.

"Fine. I'll help you get up." Oh no.

I heard the nuisance come closer to the foot of my bed. I felt my blanket being ripped away from my sleepy form. I grabbed one of my spare pillows and threw it at him. I heard it collide with something, I hope it hit his head.

Laughing. The fool was laughing. I sat up abruptly and stared at the thing that disturbed me from my slumber. James Potter. He just stood there at the foot of my bed grinning like there was no tomorrow.

"Finally, she awakens. Come on, get up we have things to do today." With that he left my room. I sighed as I stumbled my way across my room to the bathroom.

James Potter has been my brother for fourteen years, though we are both seventeen and just about to start our last year of Hogwarts. James is my adopted brother. Well more precisely I am his adopted sister.

When my biological parents got married they moved into the house next to my parents, well James' parent. They soon became good friends and when James and I turned up they would shove us together for company all the time. When I was three however, my parents had left me at the Potters whilst they went out for the day. They had been caught in an accident or something like that and were unfortunately killed. The Potters decided to adopt me because I had no other living family to go to.

I haven't really pressed for information from my 'new' parents about my 'old' parents and how they died because I see it upsets my mum when I ask her. I don't want to upset her and I'm happy with my mum being my mum because I never really got a chance to know my biological parents so I feel that I haven't really lost anything. Plus I gained a brother and a best friend that I love as well as my parents. Not that I'd ever tell him that.

"Oh Vicky. Hurry up before I drag you downstairs." James sang from the kitchen. Urgh, I hate it when he calls me that, which he bloody well knows. I hate my name in general - Victoria - but I hate it even more when it's shortened to Vicky. Most people just call me Tori which I can live with, I guess.

I pulled on some summer clothes I grabbed at random from my wardrobe and had a quick check in the mirror before I left the room. I'm average height, with boring brown hair which tended to decide what it wanted to do not what I wanted it to do. I wasn't skinny, but I'm not saying I'm fat either I'm just curvey. The only thing which I found interesting about my own appearance were my eyes. They had the ability to turn from various shades of blue to various shades of green. I don't understand why they're bright blue one day then bright green the next but it happens and I find it interesting albeit a little strange.

I heard more laughter coming up from downstairs and sighed again before going down. Better now than wait for him to harass me again.

When I walked in to the kitchen I saw three men sat to the table. Two with raven hair sticking up at random angles and glasses, one older one younger, the other had dark hair falling softly into his grey eyes as he joined in on the conversation - my dad, James and Sirius Black. They were all laughing hysterically at some joke the elder of the three had said. They were rolling about in their seats from the laughter and James even had tears streaming down his face. I looked over to the cooker and saw my mum cooking pancakes for everyone. She looked up when she felt me looking and smiled.

"Finally Tori, I thought you weren't going to wake up." I looked over to see Sirius looking at me.

I checked the time. 7:30am.

"It's only half past seven! I didn't realise it was this early! James why did you wake me up?" I glared at my brother before turning back to Sirius as he spoke.

"Well we've already been up for hours and were starting to get bored of waiting for you to wake up. So Prongs took matters into his own hands." He gave me a slightly apologetic grin before turning to his pancakes that my mum had just placed in front of him. "Thanks Mrs Potter."

"Don't mention it Sirius." Her smile wavered however once she turned to my brother. "James Potter I distinctly remember telling you not to go and wake your sister up! You told me that she was already awake when you checked one her!"

Sirius let out a bark of laughter "Ha mate you look like a deer caught in headlights." I couldn't help but smirk at the pun, James just sent us soft glares.

"Well she was awake, you know, after I woke her." He quickly started shovelling his own pancakes in to his mouth in hopes of avoiding more talking. Mum just frowned and went back over to the cooker to finish up the last of the mix.

"So what are you three up to today?" Dad asked.

"Nothing much" James shrugged. "Probably just wander around for a bit or find Remus or Peter or something."

What? He said we had things to do today when he woke me up. Argh. Okay just breath, eat breakfast and ignore him. I looked up from my own breakfast to see Sirius looking at me with a lop-sided grin on his face as if he knew what I was thinking.

Sirius Black, where do I start. We, James and myself, met him on the train ride to Hogwarts in our very first year. He was in our compartment with Lily and Severus Snape. The train ride was a little tense because all the boys were a little hostile towards each other. Lily and I had had a pleasant conversation and we soon realised that we would both be good friends, in fact best friends. It wasn't until the sorting however that James and Sirius became friends but since then they have been inseparable. They were like brothers.

Soon after they had become friends, I became friends with Sirius also and not long after that we befriended Remus and then later Peter. We all get along really well and stick together a lot in school and out. The only problem is that my best friend Lily, has until recently refused to stay in a room longer than ten minutes - that's not class time - with my brother. This meant I was always torn on where I should be and who I was going to spend my Hogsmeade weekends with.

It's not as if the boys don't clue me in on there pranks or secrets when I was with Lily but it's nice to be with them when they do something stupid, it always cheers me up laughing at them. Though I do get reprimanded by her if she figures out that I had a hand in one of the boys 'little stunts' as she likes to call them but that makes it all the more fun. I do worry though how she will react if she ever finds out that not only are the boys (minus Remus) are Animagi but I am also. That I helped the boys research and work out how to become Animagi. Maybe she can take some solace in the fact that I don't go on a monthly stroll with a werewolf whilst in my Animagus form. James and Sirius absolutely refused point blank to let me join them but that's okay because I, unlike them, am able to roam about that castle whenever I want in my Animagus form. I am a cat, a fluffy grey and white cat with green eyes and I'm very cute if I do say so myself. I'm getting a little off track here.

Anyway, Sirius' family aren't the nicest people in the world. Well actually that's a bit of an understatement. Sirius loathes his family. They are cruel and believe in everything that Voldemort is doing. They treat Sirius like dirt because he was sorted in to Gryffindor and doesn't believe in what they believe in. He finally left his 'home' at the beginning of the summer holidays and has been crashing in James' room ever since. My parents love him so they're more than happy for him to be here. Actually they've been asking him to stay here instead of going back to his family for a few years now but he said that he didn't want to depend on them. It wasn't until his uncle had died and left everything to Sirius that he finally accepted my parents wishes to live with us for our last year of school.

"Tori, do you have any plans for today?" I looked over to my dad as I thought about what I could do now I knew that James didn't really have anything he needed to do today after all.

"Um well I've been thinking of going to see Lily, so I'll probably give her a surprise visit."

"Oh yeah, we'll come too." James said pointing at himself and Sirius.

"No"

"Yes."

"No"

"Yes"

"No"

"Why?"

"Because you stress Lily out. Plus you'll probably terrify her sister, and she has enough of a problem dealing with me."

"But I'll be on my best behaviour. Promise"

"No"

"Aww come on Tori, I'll keep him under control." I shot Sirius a quick glare for his very unhelpful and unwelcome input.

"Go on, let them go sweetheart. Sirius said he'll keep our little love sick Jimmy under control." Dad said while trying not to laugh.

"Urgh, fine but one toe out of line and I will actually co-operate next time Lily insists on you staying away from her. Got it?" I said raising my eyebrows at him. He nodded quickly as if he thought I was going to change my mind before he answered. Right, well good luck Lily, here we come.

So that's the first chapter in my Sirius/OC story. Sorry if it doesn't seem like much but I'm just trying to set the scene before I get on with the story.

I would appreciate it if you gave me feed back because it's always nice to hear from people :)

Thanks x

Btw I do not own Harry Potter etc etc.
