They came back a few minutes later, luckily I had changed quickly. James was with them and he had the same smirk on his face that Sirius had. I glared. He laughed.
"Why do I feel like I'm being kept out of something?" Remus asked, shaking his head slightly and pulling his trunk down as the train came to a stop.
"Because you always are mate." Sirius said, playfully punching him in the shoulder. "Alex is going to ride in the carraige with us!"
I raised my eyebrows. "I am?"
"Of course you are!" James answered for his best friend, throwing his arm around my shoulder. "Might as well start with the best friends thing now."
Remus rolled his eyes. "James, I went over this with Sirius already. You cant force her to do anything. It's up to her."
"But she wants to sit with us!" James protested to his friend. "Right?" He said turning to me and giving me a puppy face.
I couldn't help but laugh, though a little softly. "Fine."
"Yay!" Sirius beamed at me and James smirked muttering something about it working every time.
They pulled me out of the train and into the caraige, somehow managing to get Remus and I next to each other. My entire left side was pressed against him and he cleared his throat and put his arm around the back of the seat to give us more room. Though all it did was insure that my left side was now pressed even closer against his chest. Sigh. I mean…uh…not sigh or something…
"So this summer-" Sirius started, telling some story about something that happened when he was at James house. James interveined every few moments to add in more details, and Peter was hanging on ever word. I laughed when I felt I was supposed to, but truthfully I was to focused on the body pressed against mine to listen. Remus didn't seem to be paying enough attention either because after the first story James and Sirius just exchanged a smirk and started talking softly to each other and Peter tried to listen in.
Finally, we made it to the castle and we all got out of the carraige. I thought this was the end of my time with the Marauders, seeing as whenever the boys were in the great hall to eat it was like a race to see who could have the privalege of sitting beside them. I never had.
But much to my surprise, Sirius pulled me to the bench and pushed me down in between him and Remus. A hush fell over the Gryffindor's as they stared at this spectical. I blushed and looked down at my plate as the whispering started.
"Don't we know her-"
"Who is she-"
"Which one is she dating-"
"Remus or Sirius?"
"Just ignore them." Remus told me softly as he noticed my fingers twisting together. "They thrive on gossip…especially about these two." He motioned to James and Sirius who just laughed.
"Well, why wouldn't they?" Sirius asked, shrugging his shoulders. "We are great."
Remus shook his head. "Only in your mind."
Sirius pouted and then the sorting ceremony began. Once again, I didn't pay much attention. Dumbledore gave his speech and then , finally, we got food.
"So, any siblings Alex?" James asked as he stuffed food into his mouth. It was kind of revolting actually…
"I nodded. Younger sister. She's in Ravenclaw actually." I said, motioning to the blonde at the end of the table.
They all turned to look and Sirius started choking on his food. "Ex girlfriend Sirius?" Remus asked wryly, handing him a glass of water.
Sirius drank the water gratefully, then turned to me. "Uh…"
I laughed softly once again. "I know you dated her for like two weeks. Trust me, I heard all about it."
James and Remus laughed and Sirius sent me an amused smirk. "So you're the big sister that she always talked about."
I shrugged. "I'm the only one she has, so I guess so."
Lily appeared behind James, glaring down at him. "Potter, we need to go."
He smiled brightly. "Ah, Lily! Of course we shall go, my dear. But first, have you met Alex?"
Lily looked at me and frowned slightly. "Uh…"
I rolled my eyes. "We've shared a room for the last six years."
Lily blushed brightly. "Oh! I'm sorry-"
"Its fine." I cut her off, looking back down at my plate.
I heard James and Lily walk away and looked up to see the three boys staring at me. "What?"
"You weren't kidding, were you?" Sirius said in amazement.
I shrugged. "No."
"Well." He said, sighing deeply. "I guess that means you're my new project!"
I looked at him a moment, then looked at Remus. "What is he talking about?"
Remus looked about as weary as I felt. "I'm not sure. What do you mean Padfoot."
Sirius sighed. "Don't you see Moony? Our project this semester is to get everyone to notice our little Alex here! It'll be fun!"
I stated at him in amazement. "Yeah, fun."
