My foe's foe is my friend

Disclaimer: I own nothing you recognize, which is quite sad.

Note: Introduction sucks, but I had to start somewhere. I know first chapter isn't that interesting but I hope the following chaps will be satisfying.

Introduction

The day Sarah Harris started at Hogwarts she knew nobody. She was muggle-born. She had never been a shy girl, but she had also never been at such an unknown place. The letter explaining she was a witch had been a big surprise. At first she had been excited, but as she stood on the crowded platform she felt very lonely and helpless.

She had cried silently as the train carried her away to a place she didn't know, away from her family and her friends.

She had cried until a red-haired girl and a pail boy with light brown hair joined her in the empty compatment.

This miserable day turned out to be the best day in her life for it was the first time she had met her two best friends.

Lily Evans and Remus Lupin.

Chapter 1 – He's taboo

"Lils, please let me copy your potions essay!" said Sarah as she read through what she had written so far. "Mine is crap!"

"Oh come on, I'm sure it's OK. You've passed your OWL with an E." Lily said with an encouraging smile.

"This was because you and Remus gave me extra lessons till midnight everyday. I hate potions." She added and gave her essay a nasty look. "But if you won't let me copy yours I ask Remus, look he's over there." Sarah had just spotted Remus sitting in a nearby armchair talking to some friends.

"Oh no, don't call for him, Pot… "Lily groaned.

"Oi, Remus!" Sarah called.

"… Potter will come too!" finished Lily and sure enough four boys came walking towards them.

Remus Lupin and his friends, the well-known marauders. Sirius Black, James Potter and Peter Pettigrew.

Sarah had no problem with Remus' friends, the exception was Sirius. He was so arrogant and was snogging every girl as long as she stood still long enough. He had broken the heart of her friends already. Well James was nearly the same, he was arrogant too, but the only girl he liked and would ever like was Lily.

All her female friends fancied either Sirius or James, except Lily, she despised both.

"Why have brought him along?" the two girls shouted at Remus in unison. Lily glowered at James her green eyes narrowed, while Sarah glared at Sirius with a disgusted look upon her face.

"Evans, I love the way you glare, it's kind of hot." James said with a smirk. Sirius smirked too, but said nothing and just stared straight back at Sarah. His cold grey eyes piercing her soft brown ones.

Their little friend Peter (annoying git) giggled nervously.

Sarah looked away, not out of embarrassment, like any other girl would have done, but because Lily had suddenly cried out and started throwing her scales and books at James.

This is the main problem of being friends with Remus and Lily. She didn't mind the marauders that much, but whenever Lily and James came across each other (which happened all the time, because Lily and Sarah, like Remus and James/Sirius never went anywhere without the other) a battle started. Normally Lily was a little sweetheart, but she could be really bitchy. Sarah felt a bit sorry for James, he really seemed to like her and Lily wasn't fair towards him. Remus on the other hand was the fairest person alive and always sweet and friendly. Now he was trying to separate Lily and James and to calm them down. Sarah was trying, too, though half-heartily. There was no chance stopping Lily when she was in rage. Remus caught Sarah's gaze and rolled his eyes with a little smile. Cute. Had she just thought Remus was cute? Sarah frowned, but she had no time to consider the matter because a very heavy history-book missed her left ear by an inch.

Next day at breakfast James Potter spotted several bruises and a black eye. He was however quite cheerfully. Poor guy though. Lily can be really nasty. Sarah looked for a place far away from the marauders because she didn't want another Lily-outburst.

They settled themselves instead next to their very good friend Mary, a girl from their year. But sitting next to Mary turned out to be no fun at all. She was crying very hard. When they asked what happened she sobbed a single name, which answered all their questions.

"Black, what did you do to Mary?" Sarah was again fixing these grey eyes, which had turned so many girls crazy.

"Yeah, she is crying, you know. Stop, staring Potter!" added Lily furiously.

"I did nothing, ok? I kissed her, once. Only once, I swear. So don't bite my head off. She was happy about it so where is the problem?" Sirius replied lazily.

Sarah was mad. The way he spoke…

"She was not the only girl you kissed that day and I don't like it if you snog my friends!" she spit out. Git.

"Jealous, Harris?" Sirius grinned "If you want me to snog you instead…"

"Sirius shut up!" Remus pleaded, he had seen Sarah's hand twitch towards her wand.

"… I know a pretty comfortable secret passageway in the second floor excellent for a quick s…"

"No, Sarah, no!", but Sarah had already fired a hex at Sirius. He dares…

Sirius was faster than she would have thought. He leapt out of the way and reached for his own wand. Sarah blocked his jinx easily and threw another one at him.

"Mr. Black, Miss Harris what do you think your doing? Duelling during breakfast are you out of your minds?" Professor McGonagall came striding towards them; her mouth was very thin indeed.

"Professor she tried to hex me!" Sirius said at once.

"He provoked me!" Sarah cried out.

"It's true, it's not Sarah's fault!" Remus came to her defence. Gorgeous guy. Again. What was the matter with her? Remus was nothing more than a friend, a very good friend. Like a brother. With an adorable smile. Shut up, brain!

"Are you listening, Miss Harris? Both of you'll get detention. Tonight 7 o'clock, my office. And Miss Evans you're head girl why didn't you stop them? You as well, Potter, Lupin!"

They all mumbled excuses and left the Hall as quickly as possible.

Sirius cursed McGonagall and Sarah under his breath, just load enough for Sarah to hear and Lily tried to comfort her. But after a while she started auguring with James again and Sarah was left to her thoughts.

Just a good friend, best friend since my first day. But he looks quite good. I never noticed. He has not a hot body like James or Sirius, but he is somehow cute. No. He is taboo. A very cute taboo.

Would you be so kind and review, because I'll only write on if you do. Thank you!
