Okay, so I really want to know what you think about the story. Please review. Reviews make it so I work harder to write the story.

Also, since school has started, along with all my extra-curriculars, plus a bunch of other stuff, it will be difficult for me to find time to write. I hope to update the story at least once a week, but if I don't update for a while it's not because I stopped writing; it's because I have too much stuff to do. Please be patient with me.

Disclaimer: I still do not own Harry Potter….I still do own my OCs, Jade and Nathan Spektor, Corey Wasilnak, Brandon and Brianna Bells, all those other random names I made up that may or may not be in later chapters, and Sophia, Maxine, and Carla, who currently, have no last name.

One more thing, I apologize if some things don't make sense, or the grammar is bad, or the spelling is bad, or if this chapter is just terrible. The majority of this was written while I was sleep deprived, and I haven't gone back and looked through it yet.

Update: So I've gone through the story, so you can disregard the above paragraph. I'm sorry if there are still things wrong with it; I'm only human. I didn't change the chapter much, I just moved a few parts, took out a few parts, and added a few part. I hope you like it!

PLEASE REVIEW!

Jade's P.O.V.

I sat next to Lily at the Gryffindor table, and I was sure to leave an empty seat on my other side for Nathan. Because I just knew he would be in Gryffindor. Remus and Peter sat across from Lily and I, a gap in between them where James and Sirius would usually be. But at that point neither James or Sirius were anywhere to be found.

Twenty-three first years were sorted before Nathan; five Hufflepuffs, six Slytherins, seven Ravenclaws, and five Gryffindors. Nathan was the sixth Gryffindor.

I watched as my little brother proudly strutted to the Gryffindor table, and took the open seat to my left.

Surprisingly Nathan didn't push me away when I went to give him a hug. Usually he hated anything remotely similar to a hug, but at that moment I think he was too happy to care about the fact I was giving him a hug.

Finally, I let him go, and ruffled his golden hair; another thing he hated. "Jade, not in public," he said, obviously embarrassed. He fixed his hair, and his eyes seemed to lock onto something. I followed his gaze to a first year girl sitting at the Hufflepuff table.

I nudged his side, "Nathan, drooling is not attractive."

He glared at me, but not for long. His eyes quickly fluttered back to the same first year. I couldn't help but smile, it was just so cute.

Lily lightly pushed my back, and as I was turning towards her, she asked, "Where's Sirius and James?"

I shrugged, "No clue." I nodded towards Remus, "Do you know where they are?"

"They said something about pranking Corey Wasilnak," he answered.

"Yeah," Peter added.

Poor Corey, he was always a target of James and Sirius's pranks. He was a nice guy and all, but his looks were…different. His hair was an awkward shade of brown/blonde, one of his eyes was green the other was blue, he was shorter than most guys to be truthful he was shorter than a lot of girls too, and he had buck teeth. James, Sirius, and Peter called him the beaver.

"Why do they insist on torturing that boy?" Lily asked.

"Because it's funny," Peter replied.

"It is not funny," I retorted, "Corey is a nice guy. He shouldn't be teased because of his unfortunate looks."

"Somebody got a crush on the beaver?"

I rolled my eyes, "You are an annoying git."

"You are an annoying git," he mimicked.

'What an annoying little rat,' I thought to myself. Before I could speak my thought out loud I noticed James and Sirius walking in, both of them looking quite shocked.

They both took their normal seats, the ones that fill the gap in between Remus and Peter.

"What happened?" I questioned. "Couldn't find Corey?"

Sirius shook his head, "We found him alright. He's just-"

"Changed," James finished.

"Changed how?" Lily wondered out loud.

"Changed in every way you could imagine," James began as they both leaned as if they were telling us a secret, "he's taller."

"No more buck teeth," Sirius added.

"Both of his eyes are now a greenish bluish color."

"His face isn't as odd as it was before."

"His hair is shorter, and a more normal color."

"Even his voice is different."

"It's not so strange anymore."

Once I was sure they were done listing how Corey had changed I spoke, "So it looks like you two will have to focus pranks on a different victim?"

"Well we still have Snivellus to torture," James said with almost a hint of pride in his voice.

Severus Snape was another poor soul who had to suffer through their pranks. He wasn't the friendliest person in the world, neither was he handsome, but Lily seemed to like him, or at least she tolerated him. She was better friends with him from first year to fifth year, but in our sixth year he called her a mudblood, and after that she didn't really want to be friends with him. Who could blame her?

I had a grudge against him since our third year when he intentionally blamed me for something he happened to know I didn't do. I had to undergo so many detentions for that; it was practically impossible for me to ever forgive him. Not that he ever gave me a reason to forgive him after that. Him calling Lily a mudblood only made me dislike him more.

After the feast Lily, Alice, and the irritating Marlene, were talking in our dorm. Unfortunately, or maybe it was fortunate, I was uninterested in their conversation topic, love. At that point in time, I didn't really believe in love. I figured love was nonexistent. It's funny, being a witch I faced things every day that seemed illogical, and love was the thing I didn't believe. Consequently, I went looking for my diary; yes, I kept a diary. Sue me.

After a good twenty minutes of searching through ever thing I brought with me I realized where it must have been. That bag I had given James and Sirius, I must've slipped it in there unknowingly. Suddenly my body filled with worry; what if they had read it? That diary had every little last detail about my life in it; if somebody was to read all of it…I don't even know what I would have done.

"Is everything alright Jade?" Alice asked as I stood up to leave the dorm.

I shook my head, and without a word stomped down the steps leading to the common room. I found the Marauders, and two fourth years who I didn't know. Remus was reading a book, the same book he was reading on the train, near the fireplace, James, Sirius, and Peter, were gathered around a book with a dark red cover, and in golden letters "Jade Annabeth Spektor" written on it's spine.

"Sirius Orion Black!" I screamed at the top of my lungs, "You put my diary down right now!"

Immediately he jumped up, and dashed for the door. I was much faster than him, so it wasn't hard for me to beat him to the door. Of course that doesn't mean he gave up; no if he ever gave up my life would've been too easy.

He ran the other way, avoiding any obstacles in his way, including the two fourth years. I hurried after him, copying his every move. I chased him around the common room nearly three times before I finally tackled him to the ground, my head landing right on his chest.

James, being a complete idiot, whistled at us and teased, "Get a room!"

I glared at him, which unfortunately didn't stop his laughter, Peter's laughter, or the laughter of some of the immature gits that were in the crowd we had gathered.

I felt my cheeks burn in anger, or maybe it was embarrassment, possibly a little bit of both. Either way my cheeks felt like they were on fire, and I just wanted to scream.

I sat up, still feeling angry and or embarrassed, and scowled at Sirius, "Give me my diary."

Thankfully, he didn't put up a fight; this was one of the only moments I ever knew him to not put up a fight.

After grabbing my diary I stood, and dusted myself off. After that, I took a good look at the crowd we had drawn. I could recognize most of the people that made the crowd. There was Lindsey Gallagher, Mark Eaton, Maria Phillips, Jacob Sisinstine, and about twelve other kids who I could list, but I really don't feel like it.

Once I had felt that I had a good knowledge of who was there, and who wasn't I silently walked back up to my dorm, where a confused Lily and Alice, and an uninterested Marlene, were waiting to see what had happened.

So I told them, I didn't really want to, but I figured that I would tell them eventually, or they would hear from someone else. And if they heard from someone else the rumor could have been completely twisted already, so I thought it would be best if they heard it from me.

The Next Morning

Lily woke me up, like she always did; I had issues with waking up by myself. I didn't take as long as I usually would, knowing that Nathan would wait for me to go to the Great Hall; I just knew he would.

In the common room I found Nathan, and a boy who looked kind of familiar, sitting on the couch having some sort of conversation.

Nathan jumped off of the couch once he saw me, and said, "Hi Jade!" And on his face was that goofy smile of his.

I laughed, "Hello little brother."

He walked up to me, and the boy followed. "Jade, this is Brandon Bells. Brandon this is my completely mental older sister, Jade."

Brandon opened his mouth, but I accidentally cut him off, "Are you Brianna's little brother?"

"You knew my sister?" He asked as if he didn't expect anyone to know his sister.

"Of course I knew Brianna. She was the only other girl on the Quidditch team. It's a shame that she had to graduate, she was a brilliant keeper."

"Oh, well yeah, I am her little brother." And suddenly it seemed awkward, and I had no clue why. I still have no clue why.

The three of us walked to the Great Hall together. When we got there, I searched the room for Sirius, James, Peter, and Remus, and once I found them I began to walk to them. I didn't hear footsteps following me, so I turned around. Nathan was lost in a gaze, and I think Brandon was trying to get him out of it.

Once again, Nathan was staring at the Hufflepuff girl. I walked back to him, and gave him a light push, "This again Nathan? Just go talk to her, she is just another person. I doubt she will bite you."

That seemed to be enough to snap him out of his trance, and a huge grin spread across his face. Him and Brandon walked to the Hufflepuff table, and sat with the girl, and two other girls who I assumed to be her friends.

As I sat across from the Marauders, James asked, "Where did Nathan go? I saw him walk in with you."

"He went to go talk to some girl he was staring at last night," I answered as I made a plate for myself.

"Is that what he was doing? I thought he was broken," Sirius laughed.

"Broken? How exactly would he have been broken?"

He shrugged, and continued to eat what was on his plate.

"So where is my Lily flower?" James asked.

I rolled my eyes. "She's somewhere with Alice and Marlene. I wanted to come down with Nathan, just to make sure he got here okay."

"What exactly did you think was going to happen if he walked here by himself? Did you think he would get kidnapped?" Remus sniggered.

"He could've gotten lost. You know like I did on the first day, and I missed my first two classes. Remember that?" After a few laughs I continued, "Yeah, I didn't want that to happen to him."

"But Nathan seems like a smart kid, I doubt something like that could happen to him," Sirius said.

"What? I wasn't a smart kid?"

"No Jade, you were the smartest first year ever," Sirius said sarcastically.

I rolled my eyes, "Whatever."

A few minutes later we were joined by Lily, Alice, and Marlene. Lily and Alice on either side of me, and Marlene on the other side of Alice.

"My Lily flower!" James exclaimed as soon as Lily took the seat across from him.

"If you keep on calling me that I'm going to move," Lily stated firmly.

"Understood," James said as he looked down.

"Anyways," Sirius began, "I'm quite curious, what is so bloody important about your diary, Jade?"

"Umm, everything! That diary has every little detail about my life since first year. If someone got a hold of it, and learned enough of my secrets my life would be completely ruined." And every word of that was true. The kind of secrets I kept in there are unmentionable.

Alice lightly shoved my side, "Secrets? You've been keeping secrets from us? The boys I can understand, but come on. Us girls are supposed to tell each other everything."

I couldn't help but laugh, "Well, if it makes you feel any better you, and Lily know way more secrets about me than those four do." Notice how I deliberately leave out Marlene?

Alice scoffed, "It doesn't make me feel that much better."

"So what kind of secrets are you keeping from us?" Peter asked.

"Secrets like how she fancied Moony in our first year," Sirius answered.

Almost instantly after he said everyone, but him, laughed.

"Are you saying you didn't know?" James asked, trying to hold back a few chuckles.

"Wait, you all knew, and didn't tell me?" Sirius honestly looked as if somebody had just stabbed him in the heart.

"Well we all kind of figured you could've figured it out. I mean, it was completely obvious," Lily explained.

"I never noticed," he mumbled to himself.

I giggled…remember what I said about my giggles? They're extremely obnoxious and annoying. "Either way, I don't even care who knows about that anymore. I was only eleven, and I didn't fancy him for that long. So how far did you get into it?"

"What?"

"My diary."

"Oh that," he said dumbly, "well, you so rudely stopped me right at the point of your first kiss. I never got to finish that part, so who exactly was your first kiss?"

Wow. I never knew someone could actually be that dumb. "Oh it's nobody you know," I laughed.

"Who was it?"

This of course only made me laugh even harder; apparently it was too hard for him to remember that he was my first kiss. Lily leaned to her side, and whispered in my ear, "Wasn't he your first kiss?"

I nodded, and again laughed even harder.

"What's so funny?" Sirius started to look a bit stressed or annoyed or something.

Before I could even try to answers him I felt a tap on my back. Consequently, I turned around to see who it was. It was Nathan. "What's up little bugger?"

He shot me a look that said, 'Jade not in public' and that made me laugh. "I just wanted to tell you that Brandon, Sophia, Maxine, Carla, and I are gonna get going. I didn't want you to worry when you saw that I was gone." He said the names as if I was just supposed to know who these people were. It's not like I couldn't infer that the girls were the same Hufflepuff girls he was sitting with, but I wondered which one was the one he had been staring at.

"Alright baby brother," that one I did on purpose, "don't get kidnapped, or lost." Towards the end I patted his arm.

After that, the rest of breakfast was filled with laughter, and random conversations. Soon enough, it was time for the first class of the day. I had potions with Slughorn, talk about boring. I hated potions; maybe it was partially because I was completely terrible at potions, but still. Remus was the only one who had the same class as me.

Another really crappy ending, sorry I kind of suck at endings. Again, I'm sorry for anything that doesn't make sense, is not grammatically correct, is not spelled right, or if this chapter just all together sucks. I'm not sure how this chapter compares to the first chapter in length, but I hope it's relatively close.

I hope I don't wind up rewriting this one like I did the first one, but knowing me I just might. Again, I'm going to try and update once a week, but that might not happen.

Update: Okay so I just realized I don't really give Peter many speaking parts, and I'm going to try and work on that. I personally am not a fan of Peter, and that's probably why I don't have him speak a lot. So in the next chapter I will try to have Peter speak more.

PLEASE tell me what you think, even if you hated this.

So PLEASE REVIEW!

Thank you, and have a nice day.
