So, I've figured out that my chapters are sort of confusing, but a line basically means the story is from a new person's point of view, and it's normally pretty simple to figure out who's. You got a problem with it, I don't care.


Gidget slowly, painfully opened her eyes.

"Good morning, sunshine" said a hazy figure next to her.

"He-hello?" she said tentatively.

"Relax, you're ok" the voice said.

Must be a guy, or a girl with a deep voice, she decided.

"Where am I?"

"Potter Residence, 341 Cherry St, Southwest London."

"Potter, Cherry, Southwest – wait a second Cherry street?" she said and quickly sat up, now wide-awake.

"Whoa, slow down tiger" he laughed. Gidget turned to look at the boy sitting beside her.

Black hair, blue eyes, glasses, and ooooh he looked good…

"Who are you?" she asked after a second.

"My name's – "

"James! Is the thingy awake yet?" called a high pitchy girly voice from the floor below.

James sighed and gave her an apologetic look.

"That's my sister Emmy. Sorry, she's sorta a handful."

"It's alright. So, you're James?" she asked. He nodded.

"Well I'm Gidget," she said. "Gidget Malone"

"Nice to meet you Gidget. So, hope you don't mind me asking, but what happened?" he asked curiously.

She sighed. She knew this was coming, so she was prepared.

" I live at St. Martin's Orphanage, I have all my life. It sucks shit there-'

At that, James gave an appreciative chuckle. She smiled.

"Anyways, so I ran away and well, sorta…ranintoawall" She said the last part highly embarrassed, so it came out in a rush.

"And that's when we found you" he finished.

"We?" she asked.

He gave a sad look and then said, "Sirius, Emmy, and me. We found you yesterday night."

"Your brother and sister?"

"No, twin sister and…her boyfriend" he said in obvious pain. She patted his shoulder comfortingly, even though she had no clue why.

Just then, a tall woman came in.

"Oh, sweetheart, you're awake!" she smiled.

"Gidget, this is my mom, Anna Potter" James said and gestured to the lady.

"Gidget? Is that your name sweetie?" James' mom asked.

"Um…yes, Mrs. Potter, m'am." she said.

The kind woman shook her head and said, "Gidge, no need for formalities. Call me Anna, please".

Gidget was surprised. No adult had ever been this kind to her before. This was definitely a first in her books.

"Alright, but Anna when are you sending me back?" she said with dread in every word.

"If you agree, then never." Anna said.

Gidget's eyes widened.

"What?"

Anna said kindly, "Well if you want, you may stay here. What do you say?"

"What do I say? WHAT DO I SAY?" Gidget exclaimed, eyes twinkling. This was a dream come true! "Of course, I'd love to stay with you!"


James watched Gidget jump up and down on her bed, clapping her hands with glee as his mother and her discussed girly things in excited voices.

"-Oh, and of course we'll have to take you shopping!"

"But I don't have any money…"

"I'll pay of course!"

So far, he liked this new girl. Gidget was nice, and she just seemed so easy to talk to. Plus, she was nothing at all like Emmy, and that was good enough for him.


Sirius Black does NOT like to be blown off. And that's what had just happened.

There was no way in fucking hell that he was going to put up with this.

FLASHBACK

"-And this is the holy kitchen, where monkeys swing from vines and Emmy hides her thongs in the-" James was saying to the girl they brought home as they entered the kitchen. Sirius looked up at the sound of his voice.

"Oi! James! Come here I-" he started.

"Later Sirius I'm busy". James cut him off quickly.

"But-"

"Now, moving into the den, where I'll show you my secret stash of fake wands…"

Just like that, James had moved on and was leading the stupid girl into the family den, totally ignoring Sirius.

END FLASHBACK

James better watch himself, or the Marauders will be one raven-haired, bespectacled boy short at the end of the summer.


Gidget laughed hysterically, clutching her sides and taking short ragged breaths.

"James…I think I might explode" she wheezed.

He wrinkled his nose and said "Ew, please, not on the new sofa."

She looked at his face and began to laugh even harder.

James was giving her a tour of her new home, and had decided to stop in the den to do an imitation of his sister Emmy, whom Gidget had met on the way down the stairs.

FLASHBACK

"So…hobo girl…when are you leaving?" asked a slutty looking girl, presumably Emmy.

"Emmy dearest, Gidge is here to stay" James snorted.

"WHAT? Nuh-uh! MOM!" wailed Emmy.

"Sorry babe, but I like it here." Gidget rested her elbow on James' shoulder. "It's rather comfy"

Emmy shrieked in frustration and stomped upstairs.

Gidget glanced at James, trying not to laugh.

"Oh shut up," he growled, giving her a playful shove.

END FLASHBACK

All in all, this was the best day of her life. So far at least. She'd met everyone but Mr. Nicholas Potter, who was coming home in an hour or so.

Emmy was a slut and a bitch, Sirius was a good-looking wanker, Anna was an amazing role model, and James, well, he was now her Jimmy.

And, tomorrow Anna was going to take her shopping for new clothes, and other essentials, and they already set aside a room for her.

A room of her very own not shared with 20 other girls, ages 5-17 like before!

James said he'd help her repaint it and decorate it before he had to go off to school in September, and that he also wanted to come help her pick out an owl.

But, Gidge was a little sad.

In a little over a month, James would be leaving for school, as would Sirius and Emmy, and Anna would go back to work at the local wizarding elementary school. That would leave her alone for several hours everyday, and without a friend at home.

But she was trying to push that to the back of her mind and focus on the present. She had 5 more weeks with James, and intended to make the most of them.

For the first time, Gidget Malone was going to have fun.

A couple hours later, after she met Mr. Potter, they all settled down for dinner.

As soon as she took her first bite, she heard a tapping sound. Sitting on windowsill was a small grey owl. Nicholas got up and opened the window, and the bird flew onto the dinner table.

"Ew! Mom get it off the table!" Emmy shrieked. Gidget snorted, then clamped her hand over her mouth when Emmy glared at her.

Gidget's eyes widened when the owl dropped a piece of parchment in her salad bowl and flew off.

She quickly grabbed it out of the bowl, wondering who would write to her.

"It's from Hogwarts!" James announced, peering over at the letter.

Gidge ripped open the letter, quickly scanning it's contents.

"Dear Gidget Malone," she read "You have been accepted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Starting Monday, September 4th you will be a 6th year here at Hogwarts, and will be sorted along with the 1st years upon your arrival."

She stopped and glanced up. Anna, Nicholas, and James looked ecstatic, Sirius looked uninterested, and Emmy looked furious. Yup, life was good.


Emmy angrily shoved her carrots around with her fork, sending glares at Gidget whenever she could.

She couldn't believe the unfairness of it all. Some stupid girl was suddenly being welcomed into their family, someone they barely even knew.

Her parents accepted her as easily as they accepted Sirius when he showed up on the doorstep back in June.

She glanced at Sirius and purred softly. Mmm he looked good tonight…

Grinning, Emmy slowly slid her foot up his pant leg. Sirius looked up from his meal and winked at her.

Emmy turned to the new girl again, wondering what her mom saw in the ugly little girl. Emmy could see written plainly all over Gidget's face, I AM A BIG FAT BITCH!

Watch out you skank, she thought, you're goin' down.


James felt seriously sick. He'd leaned down to pick up his napkin that fell, to find his sister sliding her foot up Sirius's pants.

James shuddered again. This was almost as bad as when he caught them – well, nevermind.

All of a sudden, there was a knock on the door. His dad stood up and walked over to the door, which was just down the hall.

When James' dad opened the door Gidget took one look at the visitor, let out an ear-piercing scream, and collapsed onto the table.
