A/N: Well here's the second chapter. I should be able to get these first couple chapters up pretty fast but I can't really promise anything. I've got Christmas break coming up so I may or may not have time to write and update. So no promises but I will try my hardest.

Disclaimer: The only thing I own is Rose and what you don't recognize from the books.

They reached the carriages, found an empty one and all six climbed in. Remus and Sirius sat with Rose in the middle on one side while Lily sat across from Remus and next to James. Peter took the seat on the other side of James. The carriages lurched forward and started their journey up to the castle.

Rose leaned over Sirius to look out the window. She sighed as the castle came into view. Sitting back she said

"That's the last time I'm going to see it like that. I'm really going to miss this place."

James said "Yeah. It's going to take a lot of getting used to living on our own."

"Yeah," Remus agreed. "But we'll still have each other to talk to. We're all going to stay in touch."

"Definitely." Rose agreed.

The carriages rolled to a stop in front of the huge castle. Peter climbed out first and headed straight into the castle. James climbed out and helped Lily down. She gave him a look and said stiffly

"Thank you, Potter." Rose smiled to herself. Remus and Sirius jumped out in front of Rose. They both held out their hands to help her out. She grinned at both of them. She took both their hands but jumped out, skipping the steps. Sirius raised an eyebrow. He thought 'Not quite ladylike.' He smiled to himself as he let go of Rose's hand. The five students headed into the castle. They walked into the Great Hall. The long tables were set with golden plates and goblets. Rose sat down next to Remus. James sat on her other side across from Lily. Sirius sat across from Rose, next to Lily. Peter sat down at the other end of the table with other friends, which was a slight surprise to everyone in the group.

"Did you know that Peter was hanging out with other people?" Rose asked.

Remus responded "No, I've never seen him with them before." The doors to the hall opened. Professor McGonagall marched in followed by the small, frightened looking, first years. She led them to the front of the hall. She disappeared to a room off the hall and reappeared with a three legged stool, old hat and long roll of parchment. She set the stool and hat in front of the Head table. She unrolled the parchment and began reading the names.

Each table cheered as a first year was added to their house. The last person was sorted into Gryffindor. All four houses cheered for their new first years. The last first year came and sat down next to Remus. She looked frightened and in awe. Rose leaned across Remus and held out her hand.

"Welcome to Gryffindor. My name's Rose. This is Remus and that's Sirius Black." She pointed across the table to Sirius. She said

"Watch out for him. He loves women." She grinned.

Sirius said "Hey!" Rose looked at him and said

"Well you do." Sirius shrugged.

The girl said "I'm Esmerelda." Lily said "Nice to meet you. I'm Lily Evans and that is James Potter. If you need any help just let us know."

"Are you Head Girl?" The dark haired girl asked.

"Yes. And James is Head Boy."

"Ok. Thank you."

The hall fell quiet as the Headmaster stood to speak. He gave his start of term speech and then gave his start of term reminders and announcements.

"To all first years and some of our returning students." His twinkling eyes lingered on the 3 Marauders.

"The forest on the grounds is off limits." Rose looked at Sirius who was looking at James and Remus. All three had very innocent looks on their faces that no one who knew anything about them would ever believe.

The Headmaster finished his speech. The golden platters filled with food. The first years all gasped. Rose laughed as she filled her plate. As they ate Sirius looked around the hall at the other tables.

"I need a challenge this year." Rose looked at him. She asked

"Like what?"

"Like a girl."

Rose cocked her head and said

"Oh really?"

"Yeah." Rose sighed and rolled her eyes.

"You have dated almost every girl in our year except the Slytherins and you've dated most of the younger years as well. And if you haven't dated them you have been in a broom closet with them giving them snogging lessons." Sirius' eyes got wide. Rose just laughed.

"What? It's not like you are very secretive. Unfortunately for you girls gossip. And Lily has caught you in a broom closet at least 20 times. Each time with a different girl." Sirius stared at Rose. James said
"Smooth Padfoot." Snapping back, Sirius replied

"See? You prove my point. I need a challenge." Rose rolled her eyes and went back to her dinner.

As things started to disappear from the platters Rose stood up.

"Well, I'm heading up to the tower."

Remus said "I'll come with you. Coming Padfoot?"

"Sure. Have fun with the first years Prongs."

"Hah! Yeah."

Lily sighed "Oh, come on Potter."

"See you two later" Rose called as the three headed out of the Great Hall into the Entrance Hall. Rose heard a shriek as they crossed the hall. She turned to see a blond haired girl come flying at her. The girl jumped on her. Rose laughed and hugged her back.

"Rosie! I missed you"

"I missed you too Kat." Katalina's blue eyes got wide and she squeaked. She stepped back and looked at Rose. Rose looked behind her. Remus and Sirius were standing behind her. She smiled and turned.

"Remus this is Katalina. Kat, Remus."

Katalina's cheeks went red and she looked down. She mumbled "Hi."

Remus smiled "Hi." Rose hooked her arm in Katalina's and pushed Remus around so he was on Katalina's other side. They started up the Grand Staircase.

Rose let go of Katalina's arm and gave her a nudge closer to Remus. Katalina shot Rose a look. She smiled innocently. At the top of the stairs Rose stopped. She walked behind Remus and Katalina. Putting a hand on each of their backs she pushed them forward.

"Walk ahead. Together. I need to talk to Black."

Katalina gave Rose a look that clearly asked 'What the bloody hell are you doing?!' Rose smiled and said firmly

"Go." She pointed down the hall and watched them walk away. Half way down the corridor they started talking. Rose laughed to herself. She said to herself "This is going to be a very interesting year."

From beside her Sirius replied "Of course it is. We rule the school"

Rose looked at him sideways. He smiled and held out his arm. Rose turned to face him.

"What?"

"May I walk you back to Gryffindor Tower?" Rose looked up at him suspiciously.

"I guess so." She took his arm and they headed down the corridor. As they walked, Sirius looked at Rose. Her hair seemed to be flaming in the flickering torch light. Rose could feel Sirius' eyes on her. She turned her head and looked up at him. Her green eyes shone in the torch and half-moon light.

"What is so fascinating Black?"

"Your hair looks like it's on fire" Rose raised her eyebrow at him. He gave her his trademark grin. Rose shook her head and they continued toward the common room.

They stopped at the end of the corridor leading up to the Portrait Hole. Sirius asked

"Any idea what the password is?"

Smiling she said "One of the good things that comes out of the Head Girl being your twin sister." They walked down the corridor. Rose let go of Sirius' arm and stepped up to the Fat Lady. She whispered the password. The portrait swung open.

"What's the password?" Rose just looked back at him and smiled. She stepped into the common room.

"What is the password?" Rose still didn't say anything. He followed her across the common room over to the fire by where Remus and Kat were sitting. Sirius kept asking. As Rose sat down on one of the sofas Remus and Kat looked up. Sirius sat next to Rose and continued to ask her what the password was. Rose finally said

"I'm not telling you." The two started arguing. Kat and Remus looked on with amusement. Remus knew the temper Sirius had and how he acted around girls and Kat knew Rose's temper and her ability to easily pick up on what annoyed people.

Sirius was starting to get frustrated and Rose still wasn't giving in.

"Will you please just tell me what the password is?!"

Rose smirked "Nope." Sirius growled. Kat and Remus both laughed. Rose motioned for Sirius to lean closer. She whispered

"You know you could just ask Remus. He's a prefect." Sirius growled again and Rose laughed.

Lily and James walked into the common room and over to where the four others were. James sat down on one of the chairs next to Sirius and Lily sat across from them in another chair.

"What's with you Padfoot?" Sirius glanced at Rose then looked at James.

"Rosie won't give me the password to get into the common room. She whispered it to the Fat Lady and now she won't tell me what it was." Rose laughed from next to him. He looked at her and asked

"Is this fun for you?"

"Yes it is. You're funny when you're frustrated" 'And kinda cute' But Rose didn't add the last part out loud. He glared at her. She smiled sweetly at him. She stood then and said

"Well, it's getting late. I'm heading up to bed. Good night." Everyone responded similarly.

"Hey. Aren't you going to tell me?"

"You'll have to wait 'til tomorrow morning." Rose went up to the girls' dormitory. She smiled to herself. It was amusing to torture Black like that. She got ready and climbed into her four poster bed. Five minutes later Katalina and Lily came in. Their roommate Clara came in shortly after them. As the four girls drifted off to sleep Rose thought to herself with a smile 'This is definitely going to be an interesting year.' She fell asleep thing of all the things that could or would happen in their final year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
