disclaimer: I don't own anything except for Samantha and the plot. The rest belongs to the fantabulous JKR!a/n: Hey everyone! I finally got around to starting a new story! This is going to be a longer one, and I just wanted to thank my beta, Thee-thee (she doesn't have an account here, and that's just her nickname). So, anyway, here goes nothing!
Chapter 1: Hair Whipping and My Sirius Slap
"Go out with me, Evans?" I heard a voice ask. I turned to look at Lily. She looked like she was going to explode. I could have sworn that smoke came out of her ears.
"Just keep walking, Lils. Just ignore him," I said soothingly.
"So, should I take your silence as a yes?" James asked from behind us. Lily whirled on him, causing her fiery waves of hair to hit me across the face. I'll have to thank her for that later.
"Listen, Potter, I don't want to go out with you," she hissed. "The only reason you're not hexed right now is because we are on a crowded platform in front of witnesses! Come on Sam!" I won't deny that I sniggered. Hey, it was damn funny! But then Lily turned her death glare on me, so I shut up and followed her onto the train.
"Well, I'm going to find Alice," I said to Lily once we were on the train. "See you later, Head Girl." And with that I turned around, walked a few steps, and promptly tripped over the carpet. Just before I hit the ground, however, two strong arms caught me.
"Real smooth, Marvil. You've been on the train five seconds and you've already had a klutz-attack," said a deep voice.
I stood up and positioned myself face-to-face with Lily. Then I quickly turned around and giggled when Lily got a face-full of my curly brunette hair. Ha ha, revenge is sweet. While Lily sputtered, I looked at the guy who had saved me from my own feet.
He was way taller than me, but pretty much every boy is because I'm such a petite girl. His dark hair was cut short, and he had grey eyes. I rolled my own robin's-egg-blue eyes. Sirius Black.
"So, Samantha," he said while winking flirtatiously, "do I get a reward for saving your cute little butt?"
I practically gagged. "Sure, Black," I said. I then cheerfully hit him across the face. As he gasped, I giggled and collected my things. "Bye bye, Sirius. Lily, I expect you to be in mine and Alice's compartment before this trip is over," I said warningly, then I set off in my search of my other best friend, Alice Gregory. As it turned out, she was in the middle of the train.
As I put my trunk and my owl, Kiya, on the luggage rack, Alice asked, "So what's this I hear about you slapping Sirius after he saved your elbows from being skinned?" she asked playfully.
"Damn, woman!" I said loudly. "How do you already know about that? It happened about five minutes ago!"
Alice giggled and said, "Tut tut, Sam. Don't you know me at all?" I just sighed. That girl was scary when it came to gossip. I suppose I shouldn't have been surprised. I have been her friend since our first year.
As soon as I had filled her in on the details of My Sirius Slap, as we had named it, we started chatting about our summers. Then I got to have some fun torturing Alice. I had gossip she didn't! Mwa-ha-ha-ha!
"So Alice," I said, "who do you think the head girl is?" I sniggered as she pondered the question.
"Well, I suppose the two most likely girls are Lily and Emma Rogers," she said slowly. I just stared quizzically. She then clarified. "You know, that girl who's dating Amos Diggory."
"Oooohhhhhhh," I said slowly. Then, right before I was about to make Alice beg me to tell her, Lily walked in. She looked positively deranged.
Alice squealed as she spotted the badge on Lily's shirt. "Oh, Lily, so you're the head girl!" As an afterthought, she added, "Actually that makes sense. I was wondering why you weren't sitting with us."
While Alice kept blabbering, I asked Lily a nice, simple question. I said, "What the hell is wrong with you?"
"James freaking Potter is head boy!" she screeched. We all sat there in shock except for Lily, who was muttering to herself. Something that sounded suspiciously like "beat him over his big fat head with his broom…"
After a few seconds in silence, I said, just out of the blue, "Belinda thinks Filch is a stud-muffin!"
At first Lily and Alice just stared. Right when I thought their eyes were going to pop out, Alice asked, "Who the hell is Belinda?" At this we all lost it and burst into laughter. After we were quite done, I pointed out that we should start changing into our robes. We all got undressed and then rummaged through our trunks for our school uniforms. To this day I don't know why we never, in all of our years going to Hogwarts, got out our robes first. We just don't. Alice found hers first while Lily and I were still in bikini underwear and our lacy bras.
When Alice was halfway into her robes, the Marauders burst into our carriage. James, Sirius, Remus and Peter just stared at us, their eyes glazed over and their mouths hanging open. It seemed they were quite oblivious to our shrieks of "Get out, you effing perverts!" and "Damn it, you idiots, get the hell away from us!". Alice had managed to slip into her robes, the lucky devil. Eventually, me and Lily decided that it was necessary to jinx the hell out of the boys, then shove them violently out of carriage, which we did with great gusto.
After we had slammed the door of our carriage and locked it, Lily and I came to our senses and summoned our robes with a quick charm.
"Can you believe them?" Lily asked vehemently. "They soo did that on purpose!"
"So Alice," I said slyly, deciding to ignore Lily, "I noticed Remus had his eyes glued to you."
"And I noticed Sirius only staring at you!" she shot back, blushing violently. "Besides, you know I'm dating Frank Longbottom right now."
It was my turn to blush. "Sirius was not staring at me!" I insisted. I glanced at the window. Sirius did not like me like that. Besides, why would he be staring at me? Lily is much more striking with her green eyes and red hair. Plus she is way curvier than me. After thinking along these lines for a few seconds, I finally noticed what was outside the window. So I said, "Uh Lily, you and I had better finish changing. We're here."
a/n: Sooooo, what did you guys think? Also I'm sorry it's a bit short, but it was mainly introducing characters, and LOTS of fluff. So please leave a review. It's really quite easy. You just scroll down a bit more, and there's a box. You tell me what you thought, and it's done!
