Chapter one: What the hell?!

I opened my eyes slowly. There was something wrong, I could feel it. An unnatural silence filled the air and a shiver went down my spine. It was still dark in my room and according to my alarm clock it was 4 am. What was it that made me shiver? A soft sound reached my ears and I held my breath. At that moment I knew it for sure, there was someone else in my room. Slowly, underneath my blanket, I pulled my hand up and moved it to my pillow. My fingertips met the wood of my wand and a few seconds later I stood next to my bed. I pointed my wand at the things on the floor. "

Petrificus Totalus!" I turned on the light and a few moments later, I was clutching my stomach while trying not to burst out laughing. On the ground, under the spell, were my friends Sirius Black and James Potter. I looked at both of them, while I wiped the tears from my eyes. I undid the spell and sat down on my bed.

"Jeez Rain, what's with the spell?" Sirius asked, rubbing his head.

"Yes Rain, what's wrong with you?" James said exasperated.

"What's wrong with me? What's wrong with you? You're standing in my room in the middle of the night. I'm not the one who is acting inappropriate," I said a little irritated, but grinned a bit. These were the kind of things that you could expect if you knew James and Sirius.

"She's right about that you know," a voice said and I turned around. In the doorway stood Remus Lupin.

"You see, someone agrees with me," I said and hugged Remus.

"Why don't I get a hug?" Sirius asked and I raised an eyebrow.

"Well let's see, you appear in my room in the middle of the night, then you blame me for protecting myself and you haven't apologized. Why wouldn't I give you a hug?" I said sarcastic.

James looked at Sirius and than ran to me. "I'm sorry Rain, I was very inappropriate," he said and than hugged me quickly.

I looked at Sirius, but knew that he wasn't going to apologize. He never admitted that he was wrong.

"Moony appears in the middle of the night and you hugged him."

I rolled my eyes. He was not going to give up, but neither was I. "He didn't scare me to death and he agreed with me." James chuckled and Sirius glared at his friend, who clearly wasn't going to choose his side.

"You suck."

"Thank you honey, I love you too." I looked at my friends and knew that there was no way that I could go back to bed. I sighed and pointed at the door. "Go downstairs and I'll make breakfast." R

emus and James walked through the door, but Sirius kept sitting on the floor. "Why are you still here," I said and started to get impatience.

"Why I'm still here? Well, you're going to change and I don't want to miss that," he said with a huge grin on his face.

For one moment I thought it was the best to hit him, but then got a better idea. "Sure you can stay in this room," I said and his mouth dropped open. I grabbed my clothes, winked at him and walked to the bathroom. "Just don't expect that I'm staying there too."

When I closed the door I let out a small laugh. Sirius was one of my best friends along with Remus, James and Lily, but sometimes annoying as hell. But this was also a reason to annoy him as much as I could. I heard Sirius going down the stairs and quickly changed. I had no idea what kind of weather it would be,
so I had grabbed a jeans and a simple green shirt. I looked in the mirror. My brown hair hang straight down my pale face and my blue eyes stared back at my reflection. I quickly brushed my hair, made a ponytail and ran downstairs. There was no way that I could leave Sirius and James alone. Before someone would know it, the living room could have exploded and my mother wouldn't be very pleased with that. When I came down I had the shock of my life. Sirius and James were sitting silently on the couch and stared into noting. Remus was reading a book, but that didn't surprise me at all. It was nothing like Sirius and James to be quite and calm.

"Guys," I started, while I looked at them. "I'm a bit scared right now."

James tilted his head a bit and looked at me with a confused look. Sirius didn't even react at all. He just stared at the table.

"Why are you so calm?" No one reacted on my question and I slowly walked to my friends. I softly touched James' arm, but he didn't react. I slapped him in his face and, before I knew it, both James and Sirius were on top of me.

"Bitchfight!" Sirius yelled and James made a weird sound, what appeared to be some sort of war yell. I couldn't stop laughing when the boys started to tickle me and tears started to form in my eyes.

"Alright, alright I'm sorry," I giggled. I stood up and looked at the three boys in my living room. "Sometimes I don't understand why I hang out with you," I murmured to myself.

"Well, what can I say," Sirius started. "Once you go Black, you'll never go back." I tried my best to keep a straight face, but when he showed me a big smile I fell down in hysterics.

"It's that we're friends, but you guys are unbelievable," Remus said while he looked at us.

"Actually I'm Rain and that are Sirius and James. Although I love unbelievable. Maybe I will name my daughter like that," I told him.

Now it was James who started to laugh. I high-fived Sirius and Remus shook his head. "Alright breakfast time," I whispered, suddenly I remembered that my mum and dad were still asleep. "Please keep your voices down. My parents." Sirius nodded and James winked at me.

I walked to the kitchen to see what we had. The only thing I could find was bread. Well, bread it would be. I looked in the refrigerator and I found out that we really didn't have much. We had cheese, strawberry and mint. I sighed and made a few sandwiches with cheese and a few with strawberry mint. I had no idea if it would be nice. We'll see if one of them would die. I brought the plate with sandwiches to the living room and dropped down on the couch next to Remus. I grabbed a sandwich with cheese and leaned back. Sirius grabbed the sandwich that was the closest to his hand, which was one with strawberry. I looked at him while he took a bite. He chewed and swallowed. "Not bad Rain, not bad at all."

I smiled and looked at Remus. "Breakfast is ready Rem." He looked up from his book and smiled at me. "Thanks Rain."

I smiled back and looked at the book. "What are you reading," I asked and James smirked.

"What?" I asked already offended by what he was going to say.

But instead of James Sirius replied. "You're not going to read, are you? Last time you read a book I couldn't sleep until I read it too. I'm not going to read it this time."

James laughed and even Remus cracked a grin. "You should be choosing my side," I said while I took the book out of his hands. "Silent charms," I mumbled. "That could be useful. Can I borrow it when you're done?"

Remus nodded, while James and Sirius both yelled "No!" in union. I closed my eyes and heard movement upstairs.

"What did I tell you about the parents," I said angrily to them and footsteps came down the stairs. I prayed that it was my mum. She had a weak for Remus and his intelligence. Unfortunately she didn't look to happy this time. "Rain, what is going on," she yawned.

"Euhm…," I started. "The guys came to…" I looked at them. "Why are you here actually?" Sirius stared at his feet and looked from the corner of his eyes to James. He started to tap his foot and nudged Remus in the ribs.

"Well," he started and looked at me. I simply raised my eyebrows and waited for an explanation.

"Rain has sent me an owl three days ago with a question about charms. I searched for the answer and when I finally got it, I immediately came to your house. Sirius and James really wanted to come too, because they hadn't seen Rain in a while and they just got a bit excited when they saw her, which explains the noise. I'm sorry Mrs. Kessay."

My mum smiled at him. "Just try to keep it down okay." She winked at me and got upstairs. James and Sirius looked at Remus in awe and I have to admit that I was a bit impressed as well. I had never send Remus an owl.

"Where did that came from?" James asked and Remus blushed. "Can you tell me the real reason now?" I asked while I sat down on the couch again.

"We've got something to show you," Sirius said and a grin spread out on his face. What in the world could it be?
