A/N: Hey! Sorry this is so late but I've been super busy with homework and stuff. I'll probably only be pasting on the weekends, but I'll try to post two chapters! Anyway thanks for reading, and don't forget to review and share any ideas you have for characters, or any scenes you wanna see happen. Also, I need some prank ideas, and I need them fast so please share if you have one, because I only have one planned right now and it's not very good. THANKS!
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter sadly. I only own the people you don't recognize.
Ch. 3
Scribble Scrabble Scritch Scratch...Scratch Scritch...Scrabble Scribble Scratch Scribble...
"Lily, I swear on Merlin's beard if you don't stop with that incessant writing, I will tear your hands off!" I screeched from my bed.
"Well sorry for trying to make some plans for your prank!" She shot back from across the room. She had been writing for two hours and the sound of her feather on parchment was keeping me up from some, much needed, beauty sleep. "You think I want to help you in this stupid war? Okay maybe I do want to see Potter and Black get a test of their own medicine...but really Savannah?! I'm exhausted but we need to plan really well to get them, and this has to be big, and I mean big in order to embarrass those two. And-"
"LILY!" I cut her off before I ripped her mouth off. "Just get some rest we can plan in the morning, and tomorrow during free period. Please? I'm tired and I really need some sleep if we are gonna do this."
Lily sighed and put her parchment and quill away. "Fine, we'll talk tomorrow. Goodnight Savannah," she whispered as she snuggled up into her bed.
"G'night Lil." I turned around onto my side, facing the wall and shut my eyes. My eyes opened almost right away. My brain had woken up and wouldn't shut off to let me sleep. Just wonderful. I couldn't stop thinking about Sirius. HIs grey intense eyes. His easy-going smirk. His dark, wavy hair. Wait?! Why was I thinking about Sirius?! When did I notice these things about him? WHY WAS IT KEEPING ME AWAKE?! I sat up, swung my legs around the side of my bed and slipped my bare feet into a pair of fuzzy slippers. I quietly got up so I wouldn't wake Lily and made my way down to the common room. No one was around, and the fire had already been put out. I sighed, and made my way over to the portrait hole. It was late enough that the prefects would be asleep and all I would have to worry about would Mrs. Norris, Filch's cat. I crept through the corridors by memory, I had been to this school for three years and knew it like the back of my hand. I stopped when I came to a picture of a bowl of fruit on the wall. I looked around making sure no one was near by before I tickled the pear. It giggled and squirmed before turning into a green door handle. I grabbed it and let myself into the kitchens.
House elves were bustling about cleaning all the pots, pans, and dishes that had been used last night at the feast. I never understood why they didn't use magic to clean them, but I never had the nerve to ask for fear of a house elf "punishing" himself for not thinking of it.
"What can Winky get young mistress Foxx tonight?" A tiny house elf with brown hair, brown eyes, and a tomato sized nose asked looking up at me.
"Just some Butterbeer and cookies if you have any Winky," I said with a warm smile down at the little house elf.
"Right away miss. Please sit down miss. Winky will be right back miss." The house elf said quickly as she bowed so low to the floor that her floppy ears touched the ground.
"Thank you Winky," I called out as she hurried away farther into the kitchens. I took a seat at a small table in the corner (The bigger tables would put me in the Great Hall-thats how the food got there). I rubbed my eyes and leaned my elbows on the table with my head in my hands. Winky set my stuff in front of me and I said a small thank you with a smile before she went on to clean. I sighed and took a swig of butterbeer. I started thinking of prank ideas but soon the butterbeer and cookies had the affect I desired, and exhaustion washed over me once more. Too lazy to get up and head back to the common room I laid my head on the table and asked a house elf to wake me an hour before breakfast so I could sneak back to the common room.
The train whistle blew one last time as I hurriedly kissed my parents goodbye and got on the train. I wheeled my trunk down the aisles looking for a compartment, but soon realized they were all full.
"Looking for a compartment too?" I turned around swiftly and came face to face with a boy my age. He was tall, had light brown hair, warm brown eyes, and he was awfully thin. His face was pale, and he had a few scars on his face and neck.
"Yeah. Everywhere's full, and I really don't want to go back and sit with the older kids," I said shyly. "I'm Savannah by the way. Savannah Foxx." I held out my hand and the boy grabbed it and shook it.
"I'm Remus Lupin. Here I think this one has room in it," he said motioning to a compartment next to me. I opened the door and immediately fell on my bum.
"Oops! Sorry about that. I didn't mean to knock you over. I was leaning against the door see, and well when you opened it I lost my balance and-"
"It's okay! Really it's no problem," I said as a boy with unruly black hair, black circle framed glasses, and hazel eyes helped me up. He was my height, fairly skinny, and he had a nice, warm smile.
"Are you sure? You're not hurt are you? Is there something you want me to do for you?" He shot off quickly.
"Actually there is something..." I said smiling as a thought hit me.
"Really?! Those were more empty gestures than anything else," He said laughing.
"It's nothing big. I was just wondering if we could sit with you," I said looking into the compartment. There were two other boys in there but the space could easily fight eight.
"Oh yeah! No problem," He said as he moved aside to let me and Remus in.
"Here let me handle that," One of the other boys said grabbing my trunk and placing it on top. He was slightly taller than me and had long, wavy, black hair and mysterious grey eyes. His face had a nasty purple bruise on the cheek, but with his facial structure, eyes, and hair he was still cute.
"Thank you," I said sitting next to the other boy. He was shorter then me, and he wasn't skinny like the rest of the boys. In fact, he was a little bit pudgy, and he had a rounded face. His eyes were a watery blue and his blonde hair just brushed the tips of his ears. He looked nervous and gave me a shaky smile which I returned with a confident grin.
"I'm Savannah, and this is Remus," I said looking at the boys.
"Hello Savannah. I'm James Potter," said the boy who had knocked me over. "And thats Peter next to you." I turned slightly and smiled at the boy as he waved shyly at me and Remus. "And thats-"
"The one and only Sirius Orion Black!" The other boy said as he jumped from his seat and bowed before me. I laughed at his antics before the name registered in my brain. Black. Was he part of the same Black family I'd heard so much about. The Black family my parents hated? I didn't get to find out because at that moment the compartment door busted open and two identical twins bound in.
"SAVANNAH?!" They shouted.
*********************
I woke from my dream with Winky shaking my shoulder and telling me it was time to go. I yawned, said thank you, and made my way out of the kitchen and up to the common room. Just as I was turning the corner to the corridor that lead to the staircase up I ran into someone. Someone with a very hard chest.
"Oof!" I landed on my bum.
"Merlin, Savannah watch were you're going!"
"Yeah! We could've been Dumbledore and you can't just run into him like that!"
I looked up at the two identical twins smiling down at me and laughed. One of them grabbed my hand and helped me up before they both wrapped me up in a group hug. The three of us started walking down the hall with our arms wrapped around each other.
"So what is Miss Foxx doing up so early in the morning anyway?" The one on my left said.
"Well Mr. Gideon-"
"EEEHHH! Wrong, I'm Fabian."
"Fine, Mr. Fabian if you must know I fell asleep down in the kitchens and the house elves were kind enough to wake me early enough to sneak back to the common room."
"Yeah and how did that sneaking work out for you?" The one on my right -Gideon?- said smirking.
"It would have worked just fine if you too hadn't been out pranking. You were pranking I presume?"
"Yes, in fact we were. Here's a tip by the way: don't eat cereal today. Or drink the milk." Fabian -yes I was sure it was Fabian this time- whispered in my ear.
"Why thank you for the lovely advice," I said as we neared the portrait of the fat lady.
"Anytime love." Gideon replied giving me one last squeeze before giving the fat lady the password and crawling into the common room.
"After you, m'lady," Fabian said with a bow.
"Why thank you kind sir," I said crawling in after Gideon.
"Oi! Savannah! Another tip: tonight at dinner, don't touch the turkey." Gideon called out to me with a wink as I climbed the stairs to my dorm.
"You Prewett's and your pranking through food," I said laughing with a roll of my eyes. "Thanks for the tips boys!" I yelled just before opening the door to my dorm.
"Where have you been?" Lily said from her bed. She looked mad. This wasn't gonna be good.
