Chapter 2:
I was woken the next morning by Lily.
She pulled my curtains open, "Good morning sunshine." She said in a singsong voice. I groaned and grabbed blindly for my pillow, which had been so cruelly yanked from under my head. When I found it I hurled it at an unsuspecting Lily who turned and gave me a stern look, "Now now missy you need to get your butt out of bed!" She said.
I sighed and rolled out from under my warm covers before calling dibs on the shower. I stuck my tongue out as everyone started complaining, "Sucks to be you!" I said. After everyone was ready we all headed down to breakfast. I saw the boys and headed towards them while the girls followed reluctantly.
I plopped down besides Sirius stealing the toast on the way to his mouth. "Hey!" He shouted "That's my toast!" I stuck my tongue out. As you can tell I was in a very mature mood this morning.
"Finders keepers!" I replied biting into the toast. He grumbled and started making another piece. Everything was fine, until James noticed Lily, sitting quite awkwardly at the seat beside him, the only one she could find.
"Hey Lily-Flower! Fancy going to Hogsmead with me, you know when the trips start?" He said throwing an arm around her. I groaned and Sirius snickered, Lily's glare would have frozen water.
She shrugged the arm off, "I would NOT fancy a date with YOU Potter!" she hissed. He just smiled and tried a different tactic. I turned to Sirius, who was still watching them, snickering,
I punched him lightly on the shoulder, "Hey!" he said rubbing his shoulder.
I shrugged, "Love tap."
I said before turning to my breakfast, "Oh you love me now?" he asked with a flirtatious wink.
I snorted, "Of course dahling! You're ma' one and only!." And with a flirty bat of my eyelashes, and a wink, I headed out, having already gotten my schedule. "See you guys later!" I shouted over my shoulder.
My first class was Potions with the Slytherin's. We ended up getting assigned seats, 2 Gryffindor's-2 Slytherin's to 1 table. I got paired with MonRi, a boy named Warner Macnair, and another boy named Severus Snape. I barely got through the class. Macnair kept hitting on me and I felt so strangely slimy by the end of it. I sat through a grueling class of Double Charms before heading to lunch. When I got there I headed to the girls, who had sat as far from the Marauders as possible. Lily was talking animatedly to MonRi and Maria who were watching her, amused.
I plopped down beside Lily and proclaimed loudly, "I am so very very VERY hungry!" Interrupting Lily as I rubbed my flat stomach, pinching the clinging fat there, and frowning, "I'm getting fat!" I mumbled to myself. Lily and MonRi rolled their eyes as Maria looked down at her own flat, fat free stomach, causing me to scowl. Lily started talking again, and all 3 girls tuned out my incoherent rambling. To this I started pouting, and gave them all my best "kicked-puppy" look. They all took one look at me and started apologizing and I soaked it up, laughing on the inside. I eventually excused myself, getting bored, and walking over to the boys, when I got within hearing range I started hearing snatches of the conversation. It seemed to be about astronomy. When I got closer they finally noticed me and shut up, Remus casting a wary look at me. I frowned and sat beside James.
"What are you guys talking about?" I asked, keeping my voice light as I grabbed a french-fry and popped it into my mouth.
The boys exchanged a glance before Sirius, the best liar of the group, replied with, "Just tan astronomy project we have to do by next Thursday, nothing too big really." I looked at them all, suspicious hanging heavily in my mind, they all looked at me with innocent doe-eyes. I eventually gave up, deciding I didn't really care. With a shrug I started questioning Sirius, James, and Remus about their classes, while Peter sat watching silently observing our behavior. It was starting to freak me out…
After lunch I found Lily waiting for me at the entrance to the Great Hall and we walked towards Arithmacy, groaning the whole way about how unfair my life was. The truth was I loved Arithmacy, but we had it with Ravenclaws, and as far as I could tell that would mean an uneventful and studious class period and I don't know if I can stand that.
The day just got more boring from there. I was barely awake when I walked into the hall for dinner. I looked around, seeing the Marauders and falling unceremoniously onto the bench leaning into James with a tired sigh. They ignored me and I listened to their conversation about Qudditch Tryouts, I knew that Sirius was a beater, and that James was a chaser, but that's about it. They had gone into great detail about it on the train, and I could probably watch it and not be confused, but I was far from an expert. I ended up falling asleep on James's shoulder and they helped me to my dorm, where MonRi and Lily took me, looking stunned, and then they started to question them, but eventually stopped when I started to moan about how they were just helping me, and how I was incredibly tired. I retired to bed that night, imaging the replay I was going to get in the following days
It was just after a week of grueling classes, after all my classes had finished for that day, when I walked into the common room and saw James, Remus and Sirius near the fire at the heart of it. I fell onto James and Sirius, who sat unsuspecting, on the couch. I stretched out so my head was in Sirius's lap and my feet in James's.
"Aris!" they both cried exasperated.
"Jamie, Siri!" I cried in the same tone before making myself comfortable, "So. How are my boys?" I asked.
James groaned, "Tired. And don't call me Jamie!"
"I second that!"Sirius practically shouted.
"My ears!" I complained, covering them.
Remus snickered before replying, "Shouldn't you be doing your homework?" I looked at him incredulously.
"Me? Aris Amory? Homework?" and barked a short laugh, "Not gonna happening." Remus frowned while Sirius and James laughed.
With a scowl Remus turned to us, "Homework is important! Just because you guys are naturally smart doesn't mean you shouldn't put at least some effort into it!" he said. Me, James, and Sirius broke into laughter.
"If we don't have to do the work why should we?!" I said through my huffs of laughter at an annoyed Remus. Remus snorted and proclaimed he was going to do his homework where "good, studious students go to work", so the library. He would get over it I guess.
"We might as well name you an honorary Maraudette!" James joked.
Sirius seemed to be thinking about it, "You know…that's not a bad idea." He said slowly.
James blinked, "What?" he said after a moment
Sirius shrugged and looked at him, "She has the amazing smarts, the undeniably good looks," at this Sirius flipped his hair and I covered my mouth to hide a smile, "Plus she could give us a link to the chicks." He said waggling his eyebrows, I slapped him on the arm.
"You're a perv!" I said with a smile tugging at the corners of my mouth.
"But you love me!" he said, a goofy grin lighting up his face, I rolled my eyes, letting him see I was just kidding with a small smile.
Abruptly, Sirius got up, "My pillow!" I cried, and then James got up to, "My footrest! No!" I cried. They just laughed and jogged up the stairs to their dorm.
"Well get back to you later!" Sirius called.
I sighed and then trudged up the stairs. About halfway up some idiot –cough- Sirius -cough- decided to step on the bottom stair because there isn't a better way to get someone's attention that changing the stairs there walking up into a slide. (I hope you noted my sarcasm.)
I tumbled down landing at his feet and scowled, "Really Siri?!" I grumbled using him as leverage to get up.
Sirius helped me before standing up strait and setting his mouth in a hard line, "I would like to be the first to formally welcome you, Aris Sylvia Amory, to the Marauders, as an honorary Maraudette. Do you agree to be, troublesome, rude, incredibly gorgeous, secretly smart, and break every rule possible with us?" He said, his tone serious and official.
I stared back, mock-serious as well, "I solemnly swear Mr. Sirius sir. Thank you for this great honor!" And what an honor it was, from what I had heard, they were legends at this school. I clapped my heels together and saluted him. We stayed like this for as long as we could before we couldn't stand it anymore and broke down into peals of laughter.
When we calmed down I looked up at him, "Thanks Siri, although I think your fan club might kill me!' I whispered in mock-fear, at the last words. We exchanged a look and then broke down laughing again which earned me more glares from hid fan club. All in all, it's been a fabulous day.
