Hey all I'm back :D at midnight...I really have to try to write more in the day...
Anyway I want to thank my first reviewer Squeaky Turbines :) I'm so glad you like it and I promise there's definitely going to be more!
Enjoy!
DISCLAIMER – If I were JK Rowling I'd be rich and travelling the world instead of dreading the fact that I have a NAB and a report at college tomorrow and instead of sleeping or revising I'm sitting writing this and listening to my incredibly awesome music, even though apparently I have weird taste since I love Taylor Swift but I love my rock and metal, etc ;D and of course 70s/80s/90s music! (Atm its Bon Jovi – Living on a prayer, I so want to see them in Murrayfield :( )
Chapter 1
In just her first week at Hogwarts, Andi realised she fit in much better with James, Sirius and Remus than with any of the girls. All the girls were nice but she was more of a tomboy and a prankster, which was to be expected having James as a twin.
"So what are we doing today since it's our first Saturday?" James asked as the four ate their breakfast sleepily.
"Well, we really should finish that homework..." Remus started but Andi cut him off.
"Where's the fun in that? It's not due till Monday! I say we explore the castle"
"Excellent idea, young Andi. I'm sure they'll be shortcuts around this place" Sirius grinned.
"I heard some of the portraits take you different places" James offered as they wrapped up the rest of their breakfasts in napkins and set of roaming the school.
They walked all around the ground, first and second floor and didn't manage to find anything but at 8 that night and just as they were going to give up they walked past a painting of a fruit bowl and one of the Hogwarts ghosts floated past and said, winking, "Tickle the pear" and glided through a wall.
"Tickle the pear?" Remus repeated looking confused. Sirius merely shrugged and as he was the nearest he done what the ghost told them to do. Suddenly the portrait opened and the four looked in astonished.
They'd found the kitchens!
A small house elf, with large blue eyes and floppy eyes rushed over, nearly tripping and squeaked, "Hello sirs and miss. I is Twinky. What can I do for sirs and miss?"
"Hi Twinky. I'm Andi, and this is James, Sirius and Remus" Andi said kindly pointing each boy out.
"Could we have some food please?" James blurted out, earning himself a whack around the back of the head from his twin, though Twinky looked pleased.
"Of course sir. Is there anything that sir most likes?" Twinky smiled happily, as the four first years asked for their favourite foods, "Wait here one moment sirs and miss, Twinky will be back bringing your food"
5 minutes later they thanked the kind elf as she brought back their meals and they walked out and headed towards the Gryffindor common room, munching all the way. They sat and talked in the common room for hours before exhaustion caught up with them and they dragged themselves to their beds, bidding each other goodnight. The last thing Andi noticed before she fell asleep was the fact that Lily's bed was empty, as it had been most of that week.
Andi woke up abruptly, and saw she wasn't the only one awake. "Hey Lily. What time is it?"
"About 8. Feel like going for an early breakfast?" Lily smiled.
"Sure, give me 10 minutes and I'll be ready."
Andi kept to her word and 15 minutes later they were digging in to Hogwarts amazing food. "So is Andi your proper name or a nickname?" Lily asked after a moment.
"A nickname. My first name is Jazzmyne but I don't really like it so I asked the guys to call me by my middle name Andria like James used too or Jazz or something. And Sirius started calling me Andi and it kinda stuck" Andi explained nibbling on her jam toast.
"Fair enough," Lily smiled, "I know what you mean my full name's Lillian. I mean how could a parent be that cruel? But everyone's always called me Lily anyway so it's not so bad."
"Do you miss them?" Andi was curious.
"Yeah, I spent years thinking I was just weird, because of all the strange things that I could do. Until Severus told me I was a witch." Lily replied.
"Snape lives near you?" Andi was shocked.
"Yeah, after my sister he's my best friend. Well, before her now I guess" Lily sighed and when Andi gave her a puzzled look she added in a small voice, "She wasn't happy about my being a witch. She said I was a freak and it was good that I was going to this school because it was for everyone else's own good." Andi saw that Lily was on the verge of tear so she hugged her, which she found weird (since she's not used to having girl friends and so hugging could be strange. It was for me at first. But anyhow back to the story), but comforting. "Thanks Andi" Lily sniffed, after a few minutes, "I know you don't really hang out with the girls or me much, since you're always with the guys but we're friends right?"
"Of course Lily" Andi smiled, "I've never really had a friend that was a girl before."
"Me neither" Lily giggled.
Later that morning (and when I say morning it's more like half 1), James, Remus and Sirius had finally made their way down to the Great Hall in time for a late lunch. "Afternoon brother dear, Sirius, Remus" Andi said sitting down next to them but smiling over to Lily who was sitting with Snape at the Slytherin table. "Where were you earlier? We asked two of the girls in your dorm if they'd seen you but they said they hadn't seen you since yesterday morning" James asked worriedly.
"I was with Lily. Honestly James you worry too much!" Andi laughed stealing the roll Sirius was about to grab and laughed even harder as he pouted, James and Remus joining in.
"Hey! I call that bullying guys!" Sirius said, pretending to cry.
"But it's funny" Andi said innocently, making the three boys laugh at her tone and 'angel' face.
Soon after they decided to go back up to the common room, to grudgingly do their charms homework. On their way there though, they saw a few older Slytherin's cornering a small mousy boy that shared James, Sirius and Remus' dormitory. "Oi! Leave him alone!" Sirius yelled, marching over, the other three following quickly after.
"Ah, well if it isn't the disappointment Black. You know Narcissa and Bellatrix tell me their Aunt is very annoyed and disappointed that you tainted the Black family. Gryffindor" One of the boys spat. "Full of Mudbloods and blood traitors."
"Gryffindors way better than that snake house. Now leave him alone!" Sirius repeated menacingly.
The boy just laughed and shoved the boy over to the first years. "Fine. But next time don't consider yourselves so lucky." And with that he stalked off his classmates running to catch up.
"Are you okay? You're Peter right?" Remus asked.
"Yeah...thanks for helping me" Peter smiled slightly.
"No problem mate. I'm James, this is my twin Andi, then Sirius and Remus" James said patting the boy on the back kindly. "You wanna do that charms homework with us?" Peter nodded enthusiastically and the five of them made their way up to the seventh floor.
Peter was part of their group ever since.
A/N – So what do you's think? It's longer as promised. I'm not totally happy with it but it'll do. I think
I'm going to skip to either their second or third year to when James and Sirius start developing feeling for young ladies.
I was going to go straight for that but I thought this chapter explains some of the characters a little more.
Any ideas on who the bullying Slytherin was? Hint – According to the book he's in his fifth year at this point...I think...im pretty sure anyway.
Please review as they inspire me and make me write quicker! That for reading and I hope you liked it.
Love Abi
