Chapter 3 - On The Train Part Two: As the Slytherin bullies dragged Jazlyn along the train, the famous Marauders sat in their compartment, happily plotting out their adventures for the year. Sirius Black, James Potter, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew did this on every train ride to school; it was a yearly tradition. This year, however, they were going to be interrupted.

Sirius was just saying he was bored when the door of their compartment was yanked open. The boys looked up. Bellatrix Lestrange, Sirius' cousin, stood in the doorway, a cruel smile on her face. "All the pigs in one pen!" she shrieked, and, to the Marauders' shock, a group of Slytherins tossed a girl into their compartment. When she hit, the cage she'd been clinging to flew from her hand and slammed into the wall. Then they tossed her trunk in after her. The girl's trunk hit her in the back, pitching her forward. Her head hit the floor with a sickening crack and she lay still, obviously knocked out. The Slytherins laughed and went off to torment some other poor kid.

James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter looked at each other. They didn't know exactly what was going on, but they were all shocked. It was Remus who bent down to try and wake the girl up, and when he saw her face he gasped. "Jazlyn!" he said, utterly bewildered.

"Hey, she's a Gryffindor," Peter said. Remus gave him a dark look. "She's in our year, too. I have Arithmancy and Ancient Runes with her." Sirius and James were confused.

"We don't know her. Isn't that weird?" Sirius wanted to know. "No, because you lot aren't exactly the most observant, are you?" Remus retorted. Sometimes his friends could be annoying. If they bothered to pay attention...

"Hey! I resent that! Ow!" James was trying to get Jazlyn's cage, which appeared to hold a violent cat who swiped at James' hand. "You little brute!" The cat tried to bite him. James gave up.

Jazlyn swan back to consciousness slowly. She could hear voices, boys' voices, around her. "I think she's waking up," said one. She knew that voice. It was Peter Pettigrew, which meant... She opened her eyes and found four people staring down at her; the Marauders. Damn, she thought. Not good at all.

"Hello there. Have a nice flight?" That was Sirius Black. Jazlyn looked at him blankly. What was he talking about? Then her memory came back and she blushed. They must think she was a wimp.

"I feel like an idiot," she muttered. "Sorry about this." She got up. Then she saw Angel, looking quite unhappy. The boy with glasses called me a brute! the cat shrieked. Angel was more than unhappy, then. Cool it. Were you swiping at him? If so, it's your own fault. The cat hissed, but Jazlyn ignored her.

"Why do you feel like an idiot?" Remus asked. "Yeah," James added. "I doubt you wanted the Slytherins to toss you in here." Jazlyn shrugged. "No..." she began.

"Then don't be stupid. We've got enough idiots in the world," Sirius told her blithely.

Jazlyn smiled; she couldn't help it. Bending down to get her stuff, she suddenly felt dizzy. "Damn it all," she grumbled. She closed her eyes until it faded, and then grabbed her trunk. She walked over to where Angel was and picked up the cage with the disgruntled cat inside.

"Hey, where're you going?" Sirius blocked the door. "You stay here, miss..." He didn't even know her name, Jazlyn thought. Not that anyone really did. At least, she didn't think there were that many who did. "My name's Jazlyn. Jazlyn Temaida," she told him quietly.

Sirius frowned. Her surname sounded familiar... "Hang on, Temaida? You must be related to dear Aunt Odelia."

Jazlyn grimaced. "Yeah. My dad's her older brother. Listen, I should go." The boys stared at her. "Why?" asked Peter. "We're not evil or anything."

"Didn't I say you're staying? You are now our prisoner...OW! Remus, what the hell was that for?" Remus had whacked Sirius upside the head after the prisoner remark. "You were being stupid, again," Remus informed him.

"So, Jazlyn," James said. "You staying?" Jazlyn shrugged, then grinned. "Why not?" she replied.
