Right after Hogwarts feast

DAMN YOU BLACK!! YOU'LL DIE BY BE ME AND A COUPLE OF MANDRAKES!!

Now that I've gotten that out…

Hi! I'm Marlene McKinnon and I'm part of the "Sirius Black Is A Git Association", aka the SBAGA. (You know there is one.) It's mostly composed of me, myself and I. Yeah, so there's no such thing. Hell, I'm surprised that all the girls he's spurned haven't formed one yet. But of course, they still are in his fan club. Stupid gits.

Maybe I should explain why I hate him. Yeah, and why I'm writing in here.

So it all started back at Platform 9 ¾. I'd just kissed my mum goodbye, and was heading over to out usual compartment. "Our" being Lily Evans, Alice Prewett and I. We're best friends, starting since our first year. We're seventh years by the way.

Anywhoo, (marvelous word that is), I was walking along dragging by trunk when it became all light. I mean of course I got suspicious. So I span around, and my hand just happened to connect with Black's face. Yes, Sirius Black. The remaking of a Greek God, according to his fan club. Eh, he's not much, all he's got is looks.

"Is that the way you greet your old chum McKinnon?" he said in an annoyingly happy go lucky voice.

"Get away Black. I can handle my own trunk you know." I gave him my best icy glare, which, If I say so myself, are quite good.

It did nothing to his freaking annoying Marauder-self.

"Come on McKinnon" he grinned grabbing my arm as I tried to turn away. "Just helping out a damsel in distress. Besides. Don't all girls carry around all their makeup, and shoes and all that junk?"

"One, I am NOT a damsel in distress." I said tugging my hand out of his grasp. "Two, I'm not like most girls. And three, I am not in need of your help." At this I bewitched my trunk, and walked (with dignity) into my compartment, thinking Don't look back, don't look back.

Of course I looked back.

And of course he had the most sickeningly annoying grin on his face, as I slammed the compartment door shut.

Alice and Lily were already in there, Lily in her robes. Being head girl didn't make her fun sometimes, but you had to love her anyway. Alice was the one you broke the rules with. Lily greeted me, then rushed out to go to her Head meeting. She went off muttering something about who the Head Boy would be.

So, I vented out what had just happened to Alice, who listened with a bit of a smirk on her face. After awhile, she fell asleep, so I just started chewing licorice wands quite vehemently (ooh! Big Word Alert!!).

We got to Hogwarts, the sorting went on, Dumbledore said some weird start of the year feast having to do with potatoes, and (I swear that man's brilliant, but slightly off his rocker; He's my hero) and introduced the two heads, Lily Evans, and to much general astonishment (I didn't think much of it, I was WAY too hungry)… James Potter. Which seems slightly weird if you think of it…

Anyways I stuffed my face, much to the disgust of Lily. Alice didn't care, she was too busy drooling over Frank Longbottom. Hey, I was hungry. I think Remus found it amusing, he's a chum of mine, even though he is a marauder. James was drooling over Lily (big surprise), Peter watching in amazement as Sirius stuffed his face too. The one thing we have in common, the love of food, of which I must admit regretfully.

So when we got back to the common room, I started venting off to Lily, who told me too shut up and write my thought in this dumb book instead because, apparently she didn't want to hear it, and then headed off to the Head common room.

So hear I am, writing in this book. Because I have nothing better to do. And because everyone's asleep, and apparently doesn't want to listen. Ah well. This is actually sort of soothing. Not that I'd admit it to Lily. I'm tired, I suppose I'll go sleep and vent off in the morning about the mysteriously sexy Sirius Black.

WHAT DID I JUST SAY?!

Okay, it's obvious that I'm just seriously sleep deprived. Yeah, that's it. I'll just got off to bed now.
