Author's note

Hello there! I deleted the story « it was perfect » because I didn't have any insperation for it anymore. This is a totally different approach, but my dear Remus is the one I always choose when I imagine a Marauder fic. So sorry if you followed the other story, but I just didn't want to leave it there, indefinitely. Please send me reviews for this! I started it in my Chinese class, so there's some Chinese in between the paragraphs, I'm going to be careful ;) Hope you like this!

XXXXXXX

Pea's POV

After bidding my parents goodbye, I ran to Sirius. Even though he was in Gryffindor (reason why my parents despised him, and I looked up to him), and I was most likely going to Slytherin, which I hated having to do, he was the only one who genuinely cared for me. I found him laughing with three other boys, it seemed they were the ones Sirius told me about. James should probably be the bespectacled boy with the wild black hair, Peter the mousy-looking chubby boy, and Remus must be the last one. The scars on his face and neck caught my eye, and I stayed there for a few minutes just staring at them. He felt me looking and looked back at me, and I immediately blushed and turned away, facing my brother. I pulled on his sleeve and Sirius looked at me.

"What is it, Pea?" He uses my nickname in front of his friends! Cool!

I blushed harder and whispered,

"For the train ride, can I ride with you? I'm scared of the people Regulus is with…"

Sirius put his hand on my shoulder, under the gaze of the three other boys.

"Cassiopeia you are welcome to our compartment even if you become a Slytherin, now and always. You'll always be welcome to sit with us if you want to, right boys?"

He smiled in the direction of his friends, and they all nodded. Remus also added,

"Sure, Padfoot. Anyone you like, we like."

Sirius's smile grew wider.

"Thanks, Moony. Pea, this is Remus," he nodded to Scar Boy, "this is Peter," he pointed to Mouse Boy, "and this is James," he gestured to Glasses Boy, "Boys, this is Cassiopeia-"

I cut him off, "But don't call me Cassiopeia, call me Pea, please."

They all grinned and nodded. We made our way to the boy's compartment, and I took the seat between the window and Sirius. I leaned on my brother's shoulder and fell asleep.

Padfoot's POV

My sister always falls asleep as soon as she enters a train. I guess it's good for her. Anyways, I had matters to discuss with the boys…

"Boys, do we let Pea on to our secrets? She always keeps secrets. She is perfect at that, and at lying. She looks innocent, but don't let that fool you."

I winked at the boys, and waited for their answer. Moony spoke first.

"I find her really nice, but do we tell her… Everything? I mean, including my… Problem?"

Sirius: 1/ Secrets: 0

James piped up.

"If Padfoot trusts her, I trust her. I vote that we tell her everything."

Sirius: 2/ Secrets: 0

Peter opened his mouth and said,

"I agree with Prongs. If Padfoot says she can be trusted, and that she's good at lying, maybe she'll fool McGonnagall…"

Sirius: 3/ Secrets: 0

Moony gave verdict.

"If you guys think it's okay… I guess I'm okay too."

Sirius: 4/ Secrets: 0

I had bid my time well. Now for the bomb…

"She also is an Animagus."

Their three mouths opened in unison, it was hilarious!

James: WHAT?

Remus: Uh, wait, WHAT?

Peter: AZJOZFJJZZEKF!

I grinned.

"What does she change into?"

Remus always asks the good questions. I shook Pea awake and whispered in her ear,

"Pea, change into your Animagus form. Go on!"

She nodded and closed her eyes. Suddenly she started shrinking and in her place stood a snowy owl.

"Marauders, I proudly present to you Miss Wingy, a snowy owl Animagus. I guess she's officially part of the Marauders now, isn't she?"
