Disclaimer - I don't own any of the characters in this fic apart from Carla and Daphne! How could I? I'm not as smart as JK Rowling!

Hi everyone, this is my first fic so plz read and review. Tell me what you think! Enjoy ( I hope! )

Btw, I have changed this alot, according to the reviews that I got.

Chapter 1-New friends

Platform 9 and three quarters was full of students excited about their return to Hogwarts. Daphne Calmswood was no exception. Although she was excited and slightly scared, because she had just transferred from Brillbourne's Academy for Witches, in Brazil. She had transferred because her father and two brothers had died, strangely. No-one knew who had killed them, but she had moved with her mother, supposedly to keep them safe...

She was very pretty, with long, straight, very dark brown hair, green eyes that could hold you captivated, and a great figure, slender, but a little curvy in all the right places. Her eyes told a lot about her, in those eyes you could see suffering and a determination to fit in.

She looked down at her short denim skirt, her knee length black boots, her white tank top, and the numerous bangles on her brown arms. She was obviously rather different from the other students.

Her thoughts were interrupted when someone bumped into her from behind. She almost fell, but was caught before she reached the ground.

"Hello," said a voice, presumably the same boy (she could tell by the voice) who had tripped her up and then caught her.

She turned around, still in her 'attacker's' arms, then blushed. The boy whose arms were around her now, was almost ridiculously handsome. His eyes were a startling, swirling silver, and his hair was almost shoulder length, tousled and black. She immediately pulled away from him and dusted herself down. Then she looked up at him. He was staring at her.

"I'm Daphne," she said "I just transferred from Brazil."

"Oh, I'm Sirius," he replied "Do you wanna come and sit with me and my friends on the train? If you want to that is," he said looking embarrassed. Daphne couldn't help but think how sweet he was when he blushed.

"Sure," she said, trying to hide her own blushes "I'd love to."

Once she was inside the train, Sirius caught hold of her hand and pulled her along the carriages until they reached a compartment with three other boys in it. Two of them were almost as good looking as Sirius, one of them had chestnut coloured hair and astonishing amber eyes, the other had messy black hair and brown eyes. The other boy in the compartment let the others down a little. He was plump and his hair was so blonde that it seemed white. His eyes were a watery blue, there was something about those eyes that Daphne didn't like.

Sirius introduced her to the others, Remus was the boy with amber eyes, James was the boy with messy hair and Peter was the plump boy.

They all got on well and by the time they got to Hogwarts the Marauders (as Daphne had now realised was what they called themselves) had told her that she could hang out with them.

When Daphne reached the Great Hall she gasped. It was huge. The ceiling was a deep blue pinpricked with stars. She was awestruck.

Professor McGonagall was waiting for her, just inside the Great Hall.

"Come with me," she said "you need to be sorted and you might as well just be sorted with the first years although you are in sixth year."

Daphne followed her meekly. She wasn't very big but she was still taller than all the first years that she was instructed to follow into the Great Hall.

Many eyes followed her up the hall. Daphne was aware of how odd she must look, walking up to be sorted at her age. Her eyes sought out Sirius', as soon as he returned her smile she felt calm.

When Professor McGonagall reached her name, Daphne stepped up to the Hat and boldly put it onto her head. As soon as it touched her head the Hat yelled,

"Gryffindor!"

Daphne pulled it off her head, smiling broadly. She saw Sirius jumping up and down, cheering along with the rest of her new house. He caught her eye and put on a smirk that made her stomach flutter,

"What is wrong with me?" Daphne asked herself in confusion "I can't like him, I only just met him,"

When she got to the table she was greeted very enthusiastically by everyone. Dinner that night was amazing.

On her way out of the Great Hall with the Marauders, Daphne caught her foot on a table leg and fell over. But, yet again, Sirius caught her and pulled her back to standing position.

"You do have a problem with clumsiness don't you?" He asked smiling. Daphne and Sirius suddenly found themselves staring into each other's eyes, seemingly captivated simply by what they saw in those eyes.

After about a minute Sirius became aware of James' smirk at his behavior and let go of Daphne.

"You sure she can stand up now Sirius?" quipped James "I mean, she might need holding up for a bit longer..."

"Shut up," replied Sirius.

In her dormitory Daphne made two more friends, Lily Evans and Carla Redrook. Lily had amazing emerald eyes, and long, fiery red hair that was wavy. Her figure was curvy and she was almost exactly the same height as Daphne.

Carla was slightly smaller than Daphne, quieter and quite thin. Her hair was golden blonde and it curled into shiny, beautiful ringlets that framed her pretty face. Her eyes were violet, a lovely purple blue that stunned Daphne.

After about three minutes the girls were getting on as if they had known each other for years.

Meanwhile in the boy's dormitory, the Marauders were discussing the new arrival.

"Sirius fancies Daphne," stated James simply.

"Do not," said Sirius, although he knew that he was blushing.

"Ha! He does!" laughed Remus.

"So?" said Sirius, giving up the defense "You fancy Carla, Moony," now it was Remus' turn to blush.

"Yeah but we've already taken the piss out of Moony on that subject," said James, an evil glint appearing in his eye.

"Whatever,"

James and Remus exchanged glances, sniggered then went to sleep too.

Well, what did you think?
