Tan

by Will Catch a Grenade 4 TL

Sophia Black is tan, a long lost sibling, and a popstar, yet nobody knows it's her. Unfortunately, in her adopted family, she is a slave along with one house elf. Once she gets her Hogwarts' letter and is relieved, yet terrified. Relieved because she can get away from her family, terrified because she might not fit it.

1. Prologue and Chapter 1

Tan: Prologue/ Chapter 1: New Friends, New Home

"Sorry, Sophie. I have to go," the man said to the young lady in front of him. "Go then, Remus," the lady giggled. "I'll see you later, hun." "Bye," Sophia was the lady's name. Her friends called her Sophie. The setting right now is in heaven. Everything will be revealed in time. The 29 year old walked over to her Watcher 9000. A little TV you get in heaven to watch over people you love. Sophie typed in "Remus." What she saw broke her heart into a million pieces. Her Remus having sex with his ex-wife. He was cheating on her. She turned her 9000 off and cried for a good 2 minutes. When she had made her mind, Sophie grabbed her wand. "Reaseum." When she thought she had erased everyone's memory of her, she collapsed onto the ground. What she didn't know was that she forgot Lily, her best friend.

A few hours later, Lily came rushing in. "Soph, where are you? Everyone's acting crazy. They say they never met a Sophia or Sophie." She saw the state of the 16 year old version, the real form of Sophia when she died, of her bff. "What happened?" the younger woman had told of her story and broke into a fresh batch of tears. The red head hugged and stroked her companion's waist-long, black hair. "It'll be okay. Please return everyone's memory. Then me and you can have a talk with Remus," Lily begged. She pulled back. Green eyes stared into gray. "Give back their memories, Sophia. Or do I have to hex you?" she joked. The two girls laughed at the joke of the old days. Oh, how they missed the old days. "Fine, you win, Lils. Wrieum," Lily said her thanks then left, in search of the one Remus Lupin.

(We are now having a very long flashback that takes up most of this story)

Sophie's POV, point of view

"FOR THE LAST TIME, NO!" Umf, was the young, 11 year old's, reply. Sophia Black, called Sophie by her only friend, Dirt the house elf. I walked down the train looking for an empty compartment. My hopes where fulfilled in the middle of the train. I knocked. "Can I come in? There aren't any other compartments open," I directed this to the boy in the back. "Sure," said a boy with short dirty blond hair. I slipped in. "Thanks," I sat down. "So, what's your name?" The one who I had talked to earlier asked. He had elbow length black hair, like me, and gray eyes, also like me. I had a feeling I knew this guy. "Sophia Black. Friends call me Sophie," boldly, I stared into eyes identical to mine. "Well, I'm Sirius Black and these are my friends, Remus Lupin," He pointed at the dirty blond one, "Peter Pettigrew," the normal blond, "and James Potter." The other black haired one in the group. "We call ourselves The Marauders," he explained. The ride went joyfully.

By the time we got to Hogwarts, I was jumping and smiling like an idiot. The boys had told me of all their adventures. They are going into their fourth year. Me, I'm a newbie.
