NOW ON WITH THE STORY!

Okay, you may see the title and think "Okay, What happened to 'To Kill a Mockingbird'?" Well this is not about that story at all. My name is Sky and I am Songbird. Or, at least, that's what my friends call me. But, of course, no story would be complete if there wasn't a bit of romance thrown into the mix. My best friend in the whole wide world fell in and out of love with me, and I never saw it coming. Who might my best friend be? Could it be the shy, but smart, bookworm? Or was it the loyal follower who only knew how to stroke already over inflated egos? Nah, I was the object of obsession for the Hogwarts player. The most wanted man in all of the years at Hogwarts. And I was stuck at the short end of the stick. I didn't know that I being fawned over by the most womanizing man at Hogwarts. I didn't know I was playing the Hogwarts player. Or at least, I didn't know at first. So I will tell you my story so you can see what torment I put this guy through.

PART 1

Okay, where to begin? I think I should start when my friends and I met.

I was 11 and I was going through the barrier to platform 9 and 3/4 for the first time with my big brother. He went through first and was waiting for me on the other side.

"BIG BROTHER!" I called to him as he started to walk away with our owl, Moon, under one arm and pushing the cart with both of our trunks on it with the other. He was so strong and I loved him for it. He was going into his 3rd year while I was only going into my first.

"BROTHER WAIT UP!" I yelled.

I was so busy trying to keep up, that I didn't notice the small, mousy boy that came right in front of me. And me, being extremely clumsy, tripped and fell right on top of him.

"I am soooo sorry. I wasn't watching where I was going." I said helping him up.

He had almost mouse like features and seemed to be really jumpy when I spoke to him.

"It's really fine. No harm done." He said in a barely audible voice.

"SKY! KEEP UP!" my big brother yelled, storming back to me. He must have already but Moon and our trunks on the train.

"I'm sorry. I accidentally ran into Who are you?" I asked him.

"Peter. Peter Pettigrew." He said quickly.

"I'm sorry for my sister's clumsiness, Peter. She has a bad habit of running into people." My big brother said. He took me by the upper arm and led me away.

"I REALLY AM SORRY PETER!" I yelled back to him.

When Brother and I were in a compartment by ourselves, he turned on me.

"I could have lost you, Sky! Why did you dawdle?" he asked me exasperatedly.

"I wasn't trying to! There were so many people and you walk faster than I do!" I said in my own defense, all of it being true.

He sighed and then sat down. I sat across from him in silence. I didn't like to make my big brother mad, and I felt bad.

"Can we sit here?" a male voice said from the door.

I looked up to see Peter and three other boys standing in the doorway. Two of them had black hair. But one had steely gray eyes and his hair was longer and the other had hazel eyes and his hair seemed to be stubbornly untidy. The last boy had caramel colored eyes and light brown hair that was sort of long but sort of not. I looked to my big brother and he nodded.

"Sure why not?" I said.

They all smiled and sat down. The one with steely eyes was staring at me, so I turned away to look out the window.

"Sky, I think your name is, these people are James Potter, Remus Lupin, and Sirius Black." Peter said.

I looked over to just see him pointing each out. Sirius was still staring at me so I blushed the lightest shade of pink. Unfortunately, my big brother noticed.

"Do you have a staring problem, Sirius?" he asked politely, but still enough to say 'stop staring at my little sister'.

"And I didn't catch your name when Sky ran into me." Peter said, just as polite. He obviously didn't catch the underlying tone in my big brother's voice.

"Cloud. I'm Cloud Strife." He said simply.

"Cloud Strife? THE Cloud Strife? Like the one who is the best Chaser on the Gryffindor team?" James asked stunned.

Sirius was still looking at me, but with a stunned look rather than a one of interest or mild awe.

"And you're his..?" Remus asked me.

He was also polite but his voice was softer than James, who had a rather dominant "PAY ATTENTION TO ME!" kind of voice.

"I'm his sister." I said softly.

"So you must have the same skills." James said.

"Well, I think I do better as Seeker." I said.

"You have the right build for Seeker." James said.

"What is that supposed to mean Potter?" Cloud asked protectively.

"Nothing. I'm just stating that she has a light build and could fly fast." James said, his voice ever so slightly shaking.

"Well well well, look what we have here." A drawling voice said from the doorway.

We all looked to see a boy with sleek blonde hair, a girl with just as bright blond but rather pretty, a boy with a stocky build and a sort of flat face, and a last boy with greasy black hair.

"Malfoy." Cloud said venomously.

"Ah Cloud nice to see you again." The girl with blond hair said.

"Not so good to see you though, Narcissa." Cloud spat.

I never saw him this cold before. It was a bit shocking.

"And who is this beauty?" The blond boy, Malfoy, asked.

He came up to me, took my hand, and kissed it. I pulled my hand away quickly with a forced smile to be polite.

"Back off Malfoy. She's not for touching." Could said, pushing Malfoy away forcefully.

"We shall meet again, beautiful." Malfoy whispered before walking away with his followers behind him.

The compartment door closed quietly and then an unknown voice swore from the corner near the door. We all looked to see Sirius livid.

"You know that prat?" Cloud asked.

"Know him? I know all of them! Unfortunately." Sirius said loudly.

His voice had a sort of quality that could just draw you in, even if he was mad. I looked at him a little bit shocked but mostly in interest. He was still fuming in the corner when the train lurched to a start. It caught me off guard and I almost fell. But I caught myself.

For the remainder of the train ride we all talked and Cloud just watched with a careful eye. James and I played several games of Exploding Snap and I beat him every time. Remus and I were able to just finish a game of Wizard's Chess before we had to change. He beat me, but I was really never good at chess. The six of us went to change in the restrooms. All of the boys went into their bathroom and I went into mine. But upon entering, I collided with yet another person.

"I'm so sorry." We both said at the same time.

I got up and helped the other girl up. She was wearing blank robes, so she was also a first year. I helped her up and saw that she had red hair like me but brighter red. She had really cool looking green eyes.

"I'm Sky. I love your eyes by the way." I said as she brushed off.

"I'm Lily Evans. And yours are cool too." She said.

Lily and I shook hands and we talked while I was getting changed. We talked and talked and talked all the way back to the compartment where all the boys were sitting and waiting.

"I was getting a bit worried Sky." Cloud said.

"I was just with Lily." I said. I sat down next to the window with Lily on my other side.

"I'm Lily Evans. It's nice to meet you Cloud. Sky said a lot about in the short time we talked." Lily said politely.

Cloud and Lily shook hands and then we all noticed that James was staring at her.

"Oh yeah, this is Peter, Remus, Sirius and James." I introduced.

Lily shook hands with all of them except James who was still staring a frozen.

"Ignore him. He is obviously stunned by you. Sirius did the same thing to me. Only you don't have an older brother to go mental over it." I whispered in her ear.

We both giggled while Sirius punched James in the arm. That snapped him out of his trance pretty quickly. Lily and I giggled a bit harder.

Well, that's how we met. We being the Marauders and Lily. We were all sorted into Gryffindor and then grew even closer as the years went on. We grew to hate Severus Snape, Lucius Malfoy, Narcissa Black (until the two of them graduated two and three years respectively later), along with Regulas Black who came in two years after us. I grew used to seeing a new girl sitting with us almost every week. Sirius grew into a rather annoying habit of not eating his food but just snogging at every breakfast, lunch, or dinner. I personally think that if I didn't make them stop and make Sirius eat, he would have withered away to nothing by now. But I'm a good friend and that's what I do. There have been a few rough spots mainly between Lily and James but it's fine for now. They still talk but she gets really irritated by his immaturity. And because I share a dorm with her, I never hear the end of anything he does. No matter how much she denies it, I think she like him. Cloud and I have never stopped the training we do. Dumbledore has been really nice about letting us use the Great Hall on Saturdays after breakfast and lunch. But other than that, my friends and I have become the greatest pranksters to ever walk the halls of Hogwarts. I was mostly the brains of the operation, even if James and Sirius tried to take all the credit. We were in detention for most of our first 5 years at school. And beginning of year 5 is where we pick up.
