Kiss the Rain

by: KannibleMouse

A/N: This is my first story, so please be nice! Oh, and this is set in the 'Marauder's Era.' If anyone is wondering, 'Kiss the Rain' is a piano piece by a Korean pianist, Yiruma. SiriusxOC, JamesxLily, RemusxOC.

I do not own ANY of J.K. Rowling's characters mentioned in this fan fiction, or for that matter anything having to do with HARRY POTTER! Although, I do wish I owned Cedric. ;)

Elena smiled after her mom stopped squeezing her. She gave her mother a hopeful look as she stepped on the train after her friend, Lily. Even though Lena was sure she would loathe her seventh year as much as she did her sixth, she couldn't help but be happy to return to Hogwarts. The thing she loathed, though, were the moments she would look at him and not being able to say or do anything except look away, trying to hide her crimson cheeks when he'd look back.

And there he was, laughing with his three friends, just like every other year. He stopped laughing but still smiled when he saw Elena, walking slowly behind Lily, "Oi, Lena! Sit with us!" She raised my eyebrows and bit her lip. Lily and Elena were both reluctant to sit in the compartment. She knew Sirius would want her to sit beside him, so she sat in between him and Peter.

"It's alright, Elena. I don't bite."

Lena gave out a hard laugh, "I'm not afraid of you or your Dream Team here."

Lily finally sat beside James and he smiled while puffing out his chest to show the badge that read 'Head boy', "Hello, Lily."

"Hello, James." She answered softly, tugging at her Head Girl badge and raised one eyebrow at his, "Wonder how that happened? Lena, couldn't we've sat in a different compartment?"

Sirius yelled loudly, "Ouch! I think someone just stepped on my foot!"

"You stupid git. You just stepped on my foot," Remus furrowed his brows and kicked Sirius in the chin.

"OUCH! Would you stop hurting me? I'll have to give you pain! Oi, lot's of pain," He said dramatically.

"Oh, shove off. You won't do anything," Elena smiled at him then turned to Lily, "Absolutely not! We have to sit here now since you called James by his real name. First time you haven't called him 'Potter.' Don't you ever get tired of it James?"

Lily turned slightly pink, "You're becoming one of them!"

"Oh. Not entirely. I have a sense of personal hygiene" Lena widened her eyes at James, "and comb my hair! Like Peter—sort of. Not to mention I stick to one date at a time, Sirius, you stupid cheat."

"Come on, darling," Sirius put his hand over Lena's shoulder, "You know I'm irresistible."

"Ugh. Despicable, yes. Irresistibly charming, maybe," Elena laughed, "Don't get a bighead now, Sirius. I'll have to pop it."
