Hi all, I'm not really new, but I urge you, please don't read my other stories. They are that bad, because I wrote them a year ago, when firstly, I didn't have a good command of English, and secondly, I was quite new to Fanfiction. But now, I have read hundreds of fanfiction and enjoy every single one. I decided to give it another try, and I have many stories saved in my computer. I'll upload them one by one, but do tell me, if you want, what I can improve. Lastly, Fanfiction rocks!

"Hey Sylvia, over here!" Lily shouted over the din of the King's Cross crowd. Sylvia looked back at her Dad, who looked disgusted, and waved hesitantly. He just snorted and started walking back to the car.
Wiping a tear that fell on her cheek, she kept her head down as she headed towards Lily. "Hey Syl," James Potter joined her, swinging his arm over her shoulder.
"Hi James, how was your summer?" Sylvia asked, a bright smile plastered on her face, her father placed right at the back of her mind "Where's Remus, and Sirius?"
"My summer was fun with Sirius over for most of the holidays. Remus is over there with Lily, and I suspect Sirius is in a nice cosy place, doing you-know-what, with his latest girlfriend-" James was cut-short by a girl throwing herself at him.
"James, I missed you!" she laughed as James hugged her back. He swung his other arm around her, and let go of Sylvia.
"And this, Syl, is my girlfriend, Holly Parkin." He introduced her, eyes beaming. Holly somewhat eyed Sylvia at the amount of clothes she was wearing. Sylvia shrugged it off. She had gotten used to people staring at the black tight full-handed and high necked shirt she wore inside her shirt.
Sylvia smiled, and gave her hand to shake. "Sylvia White, I am best friends with James."
Holly grinned at Sylvia. "Come on, lets go get the others," James grabbed both girls' hands and dragged them over.
"Sylvia! How are you?" Lily squealed as she hugged her. "Not a single letter from you," Sylvia grinned. She was back.
Just then, Sirius came along, his latest girlfriend literally hanging on his arm as he dragged her over.
"Hey people, this is my girlfriend, Jennifer Smither, a really charming girl I met over the summer. Jenny, meet Remus, James, his girlfriend Holly, Lily and last but not least Sylvia."
"Hi," she said sweetly, as they clambered up the train.
Once they found a compartment and had settled in, Remus cleared his throat. "Guys I have an announcement to make," he said.
"This is the first time, Remus had to make an announcement, hey Remus?" Sylvia laughed.
James explained to the two new girls, "Usually it is just me or Sirius who makes announcements," he sniggered.
"Yeah, what's the big news Remus? You're wasting my precious girlfriend time," Sirius groaned beside his girlfriend.
Sylvia who was sitting beside James, and opposite Sirus, laughed and rolled her eyes, "Whatever, Sirus, You are making poor Jenny embarrassed," she said in a singsong voice.
Jenny laughed politely. Remus cleared his throat and ran his hand over his hair nervously.
"Err, I sort of… you know… happened to… you know-" he stuttered, his face going red.
"Prongs," Sirius called out, "We don't know do we?" he asked, cocking his perfect black eyebrow. James laughed, and Sylvia kicked his leg. "Give Remus a chance, guys." She smiled good-humouredly.
James started, "Well-" but was cut short by Sylvia again. She nudged him sharply and clamped her hand over his mouth. "Leave that for later, James, let Remus talk." She was looking at Remus, and hence missed the look of hatred in Holly's beautiful pale face.
But it was not Remus who talked next. Lily stood up, and declared, "I and Remus are a couple,"
For a few seconds, everything froze. A long and singsong wolf-whistle that finally broke the silence was James'. The next second, everyone started laughing. Sirius, holding his stomach, and on the floor his arm around Sylvia's legs trying to compose himself.
James' head was on Holly's lap as he choked out his bright peals of laughter. Sylvia and Lily were laughing loudly, hugging each other lightly
"Finally" Sylvia gasped out. "We never thought you two would go together."
"Yeah, Silly here is completely correct," Sirius smiled, "for once," he added in a whisper.
Sirius was rewarded with a good-humored smack on his arm and he rubbed it saying, "That hurt, Silly!" in a slightly offended tone.
Sylvia replied by pushing out her tongue at him, and he rolled his eyes. Lily snorted and said, "And I thought Sylvia had grown up, unlike Sirius."
James laughed. Meanwhile the two new girls looked at each other, and throughout the gang's jokes, looked miserably lost. As the two guys they adored pushed and played with Sylvia, the one without a boyfriend, the jealousy inside them grew.
Suddenly, James stood up, and announced in a stoic voice, "I forgot a very important announcement. I am Head boy."
Sirius stood up. "And I am Head girl." He announced in a sickly sweet voice.
Remus snorted. "Big chance Professor Dumbledore would choose someone like Sirius for Head Girl, when all he has is a big…" Remus paused in horror of what he had just said, "Shit."
Sylvia roared out in laughter, "Sirius has a big shit!"
"Who Moony? Professor Dumbledore or Paddy boy over here?" James asked, his voice choked with laughter.
"James, don't say that!" Jenny purred beside Sirius, and they all stopped for a second. The absurdity of the situation sank in, and all the boys including Sylvia laughed like they never did, while Jenny blushed beet red, while Holly and Lily looked at her apologetically. Jenny blamed Sylvia for everything and the hatred inside her grew.
"Anyway, a girl from Ravenclaw, name's Helena Veina is Head Girl, and no, Professor is Dumbledore is clever enough to not choose dear Sirius over here." Sylvia voiced out.
Jenny, who was already embarrassed, snapped at Sylvia, "Couldn't you have said that earlier?" Sylvia's thoughts raced.
Everybody was shocked still by Jenny's outburst, Sylvia tried to tactfully avoid the confrontation. But she was getting angry. Just as she was going to retort nastily as Jenny had been, James placed his hand over her hand beneath the seat and squeezed it lightly. Sylvia breathed, letting the anger go, and taking the humour tactic out. Unfortunately, Holly saw the touching thing, and interpreted it wrongly.
So, acting unaware of Jenny's anger, Sylvia chuckled softly saying, "And spoil the fun? No way,"
Nobody had the nerve to laugh, and Sylvia felt herself shifting uncomfortably. She was getting more and more embarrassed by the minute, and anger came along in the sidelines. Saying sorry was terribly difficult for Sylvia and the whole gang, excluding the two girls, knew that.
Sylvia got up, got her uniform and said "Anyway, I am going to change into my uniform," with a false smile pasted on her face. But the fact that she was running her hand through the curls at the end of her hair gave her away to the gang.
Just as she was about to leave, Sirius called her. "Sylvia." It was more of a command than question. Sylvia stared hard at Sirius, telling him that she was doing it for his sake.
"Sorry," she said, and the next second she was out, but not before Sirius, James and Remus saw the hurt look which sprang up upon Sylvia's sweet face. But that did not douse the flame of hatred in Jenny's heart, although, outside, she smiled and continued if all was well.
Instead, as she curled her arm around Sirius, the flame rose higher as Sirius shook her off. Confused, she looked at him, but he held James' gaze and said, "I am going to look for her." And left the carriage.
Jenny had thought Sirius was standing up for her as he had reprimanded Sylvia, but she realized that was not it. Holly gave a soft cry, as James stood up and left after Sirius.
Lily pleaded with her eyes to not let her be alone with the other two girls to Remus and he obliged, as they sat there, deathly quiet.
