Okay, so I began writing the second chapter to this, but then got stuck. So then, I reread the first chapter, and realized I hated it, so I rewrote it. Not that many people actually read the first chapter. Anyways this is my rewritten chapter 1, I hope you LOVE it!

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter, but I do own my OCs, Jade and Nathan Spektor. That's pretty much all I own…I think.

Oh, and I do LOVE reviews very much. So, PLEASE review!

Rated T just to be safe

Jade's P.O.V.

"Jade Spektor," I heard someone yell. I recognized the voice of Lily Evans, my best friend. Even though Lily and I had almost nothing in common, somehow we became friends in the middle of our first year. When we first met we didn't like each other very much, but we managed to tolerate one another…most of the time. Eventually, after enough civil conversations we decided to become friends; later on best friends.

I tugged on the sleeve of my little brother to tell him to stop for a second before I turned to face Lily. I raised my arms ready to embrace her in a friendly hug. I noticed she hadn't changed much over the summer. Actually, the only visible way she changed was she was a little bit tanner; not much. I was kind of glad to know that not everything was changing.

After a good minute or two of us hugging, Nathan, my brother, said, "Jade, can we get going now? I don't want to miss the train." And with that, the three of us went looking for an open compartment. To my surprise, it didn't take us that long to find one; I guess I found it weird since I remembered how in my past years I always had trouble finding a free seat. I usually got stuck with the Marauders.

Not this year though, this year I got to sit with Lily and Nathan. Lily and I sat on one side of the compartment, Nathan sitting opposite of me. Nathan sat awkwardly, playing with his ear. Even though he'd never admit it I'm sure he was nervous; which honestly, I did find odd, Nathan was usually overly confident.

I leaned back, "Lils, can you actually believe we're already in our seventh year? I feel so weird thinking we won't be coming back next year."

Lily sighed, "I know. It seems just like yesterday you put a rat in each of my gloves for Herbology. Do you remember that? Remember how many detentions it got you?"

I couldn't help but laugh at the memory. "I can't believe you remember that, and they were mice not rats. And yes that got me eight detentions; twice a week for a month, which was nothing compared to the time Sirius and I got caught setting off Dungbombs in McGonagall's office. That got us three detentions a week for three months. Detention with McGonagall is hell."

"Jade, watch your language. Your brother is only eleven," she scolded after giving my arm a slap.

I laughed, so did Nathan. "Lily, it's not like he's never heard a curse word before; if you'd even consider hell to be a curse word."

"It really isn't," he added. I think he might have been trying to help me out, but really he was only getting himself dragged in.

Lily rolled those bright green eyes of hers, "Nathan, it is very much a curse word, and a curse is a curse. No matter how insignificant it may seem." She turned back to me, though I wish she hadn't. "And Jade, I don't care if he's heard curse words before; I don't want him hearing them from his older sister. It's bad enough you pull pranks on people, you don't need to curse too."

I laughed. Lily was funny when she was mad, though I'm sure she didn't find it as amusing. "Alright Lily, you're right. I shouldn't have sworn in front of Nathan." I gave Nathan's leg a light kick and went on, "I'm sorry, I soiled your innocence with my rancid language, Nathan. Can you ever forgive me?"

"Don't start with the sarcasm, Spektor." Uh oh, she called me by my last name. That's never a good sign. "I guess if you want to ruin your brother, by cursing in front of him it's your call, but I vote against it."

Did I mention Lily, and I didn't have much in common?

"Lils come on, is this how you want to start our final year at Hogwarts? Fighting? I won't curse in front of Nathan anymore if that makes you happy," I compromised.

"It's fine Jade. Let's just forget about it."

"Deal," I began, "Anyways, how many times do you think James will ask you out this year?"

"I don't know, hopefully zero. I'm getting tired of him annoying me. Why can't he just get it through that thick skull of his that I don't like him?"

I know that she said she doesn't like James, but I knew that somewhere deep down she must've liked him, even the tiniest bit.

"Are you sure you don't like him? I mean he's not exactly the same kid he was before," I argued, trying to get her to admit she might like him.

She crossed her arms, "I am most certainly positive that I do not like him. He's arrogant, and annoying, and perverted, and even though he might not be the same kid he was before, he is still extremely immature. How could you even think I that there's even a possibility of liking that git."

"Well I don't know, I guess I just thought you might've developed a crush on your admirer. Sorry, if I was wrong."

Lily let out a sigh, as if she had been holding her breath, "It's alright. I–"

The compartment door creaked open, and James Potter and Sirius Black walked in. Those two truly did know how to time things well.

James wedged himself in between Lily and I, "Oh my Lily flower I've found you." He threw an arm around her.

Poor Lily, having to endure James Potter's constant attempts to get her to go out with him. It was cute, and all, but he did often take it too far.

Sirius Black strutted over to the seat closest to the window on the other side of the compartment. "Who's the kid?" He asked, nodding towards Nathan.

"The kid is–" I began, but was rudely interrupted by my little brother.

"I'm Nathan, her younger brother, and I am more than capable of introducing myself. Oh, and I'd appreciate it if you didn't call me kid." Sometimes I loved Nathan, he was so straight forward with people.

He leaned in a bit closer to Nathan which worried me, "Nathan, what kind of secrets could you tell me about your lovely sister?"

A mischievous grin spread across Nathan's face, "I could tell you every kind of secret about my sister, but I'm not sure she would like that. In other words, I'd be happy to tell you anything you'd like to know."

God, sometimes I hated Nathan. He would be the first person to spill all my secrets; he was one of the only people to actually know all of my secrets.

Before he could say anything else, Lily stood up, and stomped out. She was obviously furious. I slightly blamed myself; I should've been paying more attention to her and James' conversation. James was one of the only people who could actually get her angry enough to just get up, and leave a room. I think she left because she didn't want to do anything she would regret later.

I sighed, and shook my head at James, "When will you learn? If you really want Lily to like you annoying the hell out of her will not do that."

Nathan covered his ears, and put on a mock violated face, "Jade! You just tainted my innocent life with your foul words."

"You're such an idiot," I laughed while giving him a light shove.

I began to stand up to go look for Lily, but Sirius stopped me, "Jade, we didn't come just to bug you two. We did actually have a reason."

"And what would that be?" I asked, not interested.

"Well," Sirius began, "we were wondering if you had the stuff with you." I laughed at the way he said 'the stuff' he acted as if we were robbing a bank or something like that.

"Yes, it's under the seat. You're welcome to grab it for yourself. I'm going to go find Lily, make sure she's not too upset." Again, I began to go look for Lily, but quickly realized something. I couldn't just leave Nathan we those two blokes. They'd contaminate his mind, possibly give him diseases.

"Nathan, I'm not sure how I feel about leaving you with two seventeen year olds who act less mature than you," I said, turning the heels of my feet.

"Well thanks for the compliment," James muttered.

I ignored him and continued, "Do you think you'll be alright? I'll only be gone for a few minutes. Think you can deal with them?"

Nathan nodded, "I'm in charge right?"

"Well of course. I'm not going to leave either of them in charge; only a complete fool would do that."

"Just keep on insulting us as if we're not here," Sirius spat.

I ignored him too, "I'm leaving now. Be back in a few minutes; try not to kill my brother."

"I won't miss you," I heard Sirius tease as I walked out the door.

I think I might've heard James say, "Yes you will," but I'm not positive. I know he said something, but I couldn't make it out all the way since I was leaving.

I passed a few compartments; three to be exact, before I found Lily sitting with Alice Prewett, and Marlene McKinnon.

Lily looked like she had calmed down. "Lils, are you alright?" I asked, taking a step into the compartment.

She nodded, "I'm fine," she still sounded extremely angry, "James is just the most annoying git in the world. I'm sorry Jade, but if James is going to be there, I don't think I can sit with you in that compartment."

Looks like I'll be sitting with the Marauders again. I understood why she couldn't sit with me though. I thought about sitting with her, Marlene, and Alice, but decided against it. Marlene and I always seemed to get into some kind of fight; I guess we just never liked each other. Lily said it was weird because apparently, Marlene, and I had a lot in common.

I let a weak smile appear on my face, and gave a wave good-bye to Lily and Alice. I think it might be possible that I unintentionally scowled at Marlene.

Back at the compartment, I found the rest of the Marauders had filtered in. "Merlin, you've multiplied," I laughed, standing in the doorway. I sandwiched myself in between Sirius, and Nathan, seeing that my previous seat was occupied by Peter Pettigrew, someone I've never been too fond of.

I rested my elbow on Nathan's shoulder, and asked, "Did they give you any trouble? Any at all? I will beat them up for you Nathan, remember that."

He laughed, "Jade, you are one of the least threatening people I know. I think I could beat you in a fight, so I'm no exactly sure how much damage you'll do to any of them. And no, they didn't give me any trouble. I actually don't see what's so bad about them."

James, Peter, and Sirius, all laughed; Remus was reading a book, so I don't think he was really paying attention to what we were saying.

"Yeah Jade, we're not that bad. It hurts to know that you think so little of us," Sirius pouted. I hated it when he pouted; it always made me giggle, and I do mean always. And when I giggled I always blushed, probably because I have the most obnoxious giggle in the world. I don't even know why his pout made me giggle, it just dd.

So guess what I did, I giggled, and blushed for no apparent reason other than Sirius pouting. Which everyone found normal other than Nathan. "What's wrong with you?" He asked, obviously curious.

For another odd reason that made me laugh even harder, don't ask me why; I wouldn't have an answer for you. Once I stopped laughing, I drew a breath to answer, "I have absolutely no clue."

"I know," James shot. I raised an eyebrow; I was interested in what he had to say. "You love Sirius, but that's okay because Sirius loves you back. So now you two kiss and live happily ever after." He had a smile that showed he was proud of himself.

"Do not!" Sirius and I practically shouted in unison. I think James only got more amusement from this since he was obviously holding in his laughter. Peter, on the other hand, was having a fit of laughter. I shot a glare at him, hoping it would make him stop; it didn't.

James swallowed his glee and continued, "Yes you do. It's apparent to everybody, but you two. For Merlin's sake have you not noticed how much you two flirt?"

"We do not flirt," Sirius retorted.

"Yes you do. I think you two might flirt more than I hit on my Lily flower."

"That's not even possible," I added, "You hit on Lily as if it's your job."

"It is, but that's beside the point. The point here is you two are in love, and should just tell each other already because it will be better for both of you if you do."

"Yes because admitting your love for Evans totally worked for you, right?" Sirius asked harshly. If he was angry he didn't show it in his face. He looked almost happy, but he voice was ice cold.

James shrugged it off, knowing Sirius only said it out of anger, "Lily will come around eventually. You two will regret not saying it."

I sighed, "Can we just change to subject. This is getting quite annoying."

"Agreed," Sirius added.

"In a minute," James said quickly, "just riddle me this. If you two 'aren't' in love then how come Padfoot carried you all the way to the Hospital Wing when you broke your ankle? Or how come he only seems to be able to remember your birthday? Or how come in our fifth year when Sirius replaced all the green and silver in the Slytherin common room with red and gold, you took the blame for it?"

God, James was really getting on my nerves. He couldn't just understand Sirius, and I were just friends. "I can explain two of the three. The first one is simple; he was the one who broke my ankle. He probably felt like he had to carry me. And the last one, that was a brilliant prank that I was happy to take the blame for. I'm still not sure how he even got into the Slytherin common room. Sirius you can take the second one."

Sirius hesitated, "Her birthday isn't the only one I remember. I know yours is March Twenty-Seventh. I'm not stupid." Then he turned his head towards me, "And I did not break your ankle. You fell out of that tree."

I rolled my eyes, "That is so not true. You push–"

Before I could carry on, Remus slammed his book closed, and said, "Please, let's not start arguing again. You all were giving me a headache."

After that the rest of the train ride was pretty much what'd you'd expect it to be. Remus feel asleep, Peter agreed with anything James or Sirius said, James and Sirius grabbed the duffle bag I brought, and Nathan and I discussed his sorting; decided he would be in Gryffindor like me.

About the bag, at the end of our sixth year James and Sirius came up with a brilliant prank. Unfortunately, they didn't know how to get all of the supplies, so I told them that I could get the supplies that they couldn't. That's what was in the bag.

Finally, the train came to a stop, and we were at Hogwarts.

Okay, so I hate the ending, but I couldn't think of another way to end it…

I still LOVE REVIEWS, so REMEMBER TO REVIEW

Have a good day!
