Chapter 2 -

Aziza woke up smiling. She pulled down her covers and jumped out of her bed. She went over to the window and looked out of it. She just stood there for a few moments taking it all in. The window faced the Forbidden Forest. The trees seemed to stretch for miles and in the distant near the setting moon was an extremely large bird that Aziza didn't recognize. It had gold and yellow plumage and it's wing span was enormous. Aziza got changed in her robes and went down to the common room to find Lily already up and studying. When Lily heard Aziza coming down the stairs she looked up.

" Have a good sleep? " Lily asked. She yawned and curled her legs underneath her and patted a place on the sofa for Aziza.

" Alright, but I could still hear those boys partying through my pillow, God they are annoying! " Aziza complained.

" Annoying, are we? " Said a sultry voice behind Aziza. She looked around to see James, Sirius, Remus and another boy she didn't recognise were standing near the steps at the entrance of the boys dormitory.

" Look, I'm sorry I snapped at you at the sorting ceremony but did you have to stay up all night partying? " Aziza asked Sirius.

" It's alright I'm not angry with you and anyway what's wrong with a good party? " Sirius questioned with a cheeky smile.

" It's wrong when some people are trying to get a good night's sleep before their first day of lessons! " Aziza answered incredulously " Have you no interest in your academic studies?"

" Err, No! Who does?" He said as if she had asked if he believed in santa or something. Aziza realised that she had better keep quiet about the extra studying she had been doing all over the summer didn't want to be singled out as a nerd.

" Hey, what do you mean by that?" Lily called from the sofa looking quite annoyed at that comment. Aziza could see James' staring at Lily and smiled, vowing to herself that she would get them together in later years. While Lily and Sirius bickered Aziza watched Remus daydreaming and when he looked round and caught her eye, she looked away immediately, blushing.

During breakfast, James asked Lily out repeatedly to which she always replied with a no and a sarcastic comment. However, this seemed to inflate James' ego and he whispered to Aziza that he would convince her soon. Aziza thought that maybe the marauders would be good friends though she was a bit un-nerved by the boy she didn't recognize, who she later learned was called Peter's staring.

" What's our first lesson " Remus asked Aziza as he passed her the pumpkin juice. She checked her timetable that they had been given after the sorting ceremony.

" It's Transfiguration " Aziza responded. The sick feeling she had on the train yesterday returned as she thought about using her wand around other people. She had gone to Ollivander's with her mother and she worried about whether a wand would even choose her at all. After 7 tries, she picked up a mahogany and dragon heart-string wand, twelve inches, she felt a tingling feeling through her hand. When she had waved the wand a wheel of fire came out of it. Aziza had jumped back and tried to stop it. It reached the curtains and they caught on fire. Panicking, she waved her wand again, wishing for water. A thick stream of water was directed at the curtains and doused the fire. Mr Ollivander was shocked and said that a wand had never done that the first time a wizard had tried it out. Aziza walked out feeling confident and even though she had been having loads of doubts she knew there was one thing she could rely on; her wand.

Before they could do any transfiguring Professor McGonagall gave them a speech about transfiguring and told them anyone who messed around in her class would be sent out or transfigured into a pig for the day. Aziza knew that she wasn't really allowed to do that but it still scared her. McGonagall gave them each a pencil that they would have to turn into a pen that could be written with. Lily, on her right was frantically jerking her wand at the pencil, almost stabbing it, and frustratingly demanding it to turn into a pen. Aziza looked over to her left, where Remus was calmly waving his wand, his amber eyes fixed on the pencil and Aziza could see him anxiously muttering the incantation, which was a drastic change to Lily's commands. Aziza let out her breath slowly and picked up her wand. She held it above the pencil and waved it, almost whispering the words. Despite the meekness of her command, the pencil changed suddenly into a pen. Aziza stared at it, shocked at the drastic change to the pen.

" Well done Miss Bahur! You are the first one to successfully change your pencil into a pen! " Professor McGonagall called across the classroom. Aziza suddenly felt all the blood in her body rise up to her face, resulting in her blushing like mad. She wished Professor McGonagall hadn't said it so loud. Everyone was looking at her, some amazed at her ability and some sneering.

" I'm sorry, I know you hated that but well done. " Remus leant over to whisper to her. Aziza smiled at the kindness.

" Don't apologize and thanks! " She whispered back. While she was helping Lily with her pencil she heard Sirius saying to Remus rather smarmily;

" Wow, you and Bahur seem to be getting on rather nicely, aha, do you like her? " Despite herself Aziza held her breath and waited for Remus to answer.

" Shut up Sirius, you know we're just friends! " Remus replied dignified.

A few weeks later as Aziza and the Marauders (as they had now named themselves) were walking back to their common room after they had finished lunch, they met Severus Snape walking along one of the corridors. Lily had gone ahead so she didn't witness what was about to happen. When Sirius and James spotted Severus they grinned and Sirius shouted at Severus.

" Hey, Snivelly what are you doing, shouldn't you be scaring girls or something? "

" I'm surprised you could even drag your big head up here. " Severus replied with a dangerous look in his eyes.

" Wow, Snivelly hit me where it hurts! " Sirius scoffed confidently.

" You're extremely arrogant but I know exactly how to shut you up. " Severus raised his wand. Sirius and James directed their words at Severus' face. Aziza didn't know the reasons for the hatred between Severus and the two marauders, but she did know that the two would not care about what they did to Severus and she didn't want any trouble. While this was going on Remus was standing far away from the three and Peter was cowering in a corner. Aziza noticed this and was annoyed how Remus didn't try to stop the three from fighting. It seemed it was up to her to stop this turning into a blood bath. She stepped between the three with a determined look on her face. Severus looked straight into her eyes and Aziza hesitated, nearly moving out of the way but she decided to stand fast.

" Stop interfering you disgusting girl and get your ugly mug out of my way " Severus spat venomously. She felt Sirius and James move forward out of anger. However, before they could get to him Aziza had her wand at Severus' throat. She didn't mean to do this but she was still angry at him for what he said on the train, and this infuriated her. Severus still had a cocky look on his face and Aziza growled. This in-voluntary outburst wiped the smile off Severus' face and he lowered his wand.

" Now get out of here! " Aziza shouted at him. Avoiding the Marauders eyes, he walked away in the opposite direction as swiftly as he could. Aziza watched him go and stormed off in the direction of the common room. As she walked away she heard Sirius say to James:

" Now that was awesome, did you see him run? " James laughed and the Marauders went after Aziza.

" I can't believe you! " Aziza shouted as the Marauders entered the common room. The Marauders looked shocked at this outburst and Peter whimpered at Aziza's anger.

" I'm sorry... " Sirius started.

" Not you idiot! Though I can't believe you took him on 2-1, that was very fair of you. " Later, Aziza regretted snapping at Sirius. She wasn't even that angry at Sirius but she was so angry she just took it out on him.

Sirius and James looked confused. Aziza rounded on Remus.

" You! You were cowering in the corner! I hate Severus too but you were going to let these two idiots take him on un-fairly. I thought you were better than that. How long has this been going on then? You crying in a corner while those two beat him up? " Aziza exploded viciously at Remus. He started to explain but Aziza cut him off.

" You know what? I don't even want to know! " She shouted as she climbed the stairs to the girls' dormitory.

" Yowza! She is pissed at you! " She heard James say to Remus. He said nothing in reply.

Aziza decided not to tell Lily about what had happened and put on a fake smile as she entered the shared Gryffindor Girls room. While Lily was talking to her (or at her!) Aziza started to feel a bit sorry about what she had said to Remus but she came to the conclusion he deserved it. He was being such a coward. She knew that Remus was shy but she thought that he would try and stop a fight. She lay awake all night tossing and turning.

Meanwhile in the Marauder's Room...

" So what are you going to do now? " James asked Remus as they were brushing their teeth in the bathroom. Remus spat in the sink.

" I wouldn't have to do anything if you two idiots could keep your wands away from Severus' face, he didn't even say anything to you! " Remus drawled in an angry voice. James looked at Remus in the mirror, his face was flushed with anger and his eyes flashed. Remus knew he had to do something to make this up to Aziza but he didn't know what.
