A/N: Here you go, the third chapter. Hope you like it. Sorry, it's not in Sirius' POV, I decided that you need to get to know Isabella better. So it's in her POV. It'll be good though, because she is just as crazy as Sirius, and you get little snippets of her past, but you won't get the whole thing until later. So enjoy.

These guys are smarter than I would think. I mean with them being the class-clowns and such, you would expect them to just goof around the whole time. But they really know their stuff. They have these official notebooks and everything. It's kinda funny, but I went along with it.

We went to the Heads Dorms. It's so big! This whole castle is huge. I don't see how I'm every going to learn my way around, I'll have to follow people around all the time. So back to the Heads Dorms. I can definitely see why someone would want to be a Head. I mean, living in this room would be so awesome.

"Okay, we are planning our prank to be for tonight, September 2nd, during dinner," James said, I guess he's the leader. Remus was writing everything James said down in their prank notebook. "Who should our target be?" James asked.

Since I didn't really know anything about the school I kept quiet. But the very attractive Sirius said "Slytherin" as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. I don't know anything about Slytherin other than it's a school house and the colors are green and silver. So I don't know why they seem to hate them so much.

"Nah, it's always the Slytherins," Remus said. I understood from my conversations with the guys that he's the smart one. And here he proves my point. "How about the whole school, I mean, no one will be expecting us to go away from our usual targets."

"I second that idea," I said. "And if you prank yourselves, no one can blame you for it." Great idea, no? I though it was.

"Yeah, that's a good idea. That way Lily can't blame me," James said smiling. Wow, he really has it deep for that girl, doesn't he. I mean, I would expect him to be the playboy type of guy, which I have way to much experience dealing with, but it seems that Lily is the only girl he would ever go out with. I'll have to ask one of the other guys if he's had a date before.

"Okay, what should we do?" Sirius asked. I sat back and watched the 'Marauders' (what kind of name is that anyway? I mean, how did they come up with it? It's so random) plan their ingenious prank, adding my opinions every once in a while. But it was more fun watching the masters at work. After they decided what they wanted to do, we headed to the library to look up spells and potions. I really had no idea how much work went into pulling a good prank. If I had to guess, I'd say that the Marauders are all at the top of the class. Except for maybe Peter. He seemed a little lost.

"Do you guys do this every time you pull a prank?" I asked as Remus came back to our table in the library with three more books.

"Not all the time. Sometimes we know the spells right off the top of our heads, but for the bigger pranks we need to look up stuff," James said not looking up from the spell book he was reading.

"Hey, how about this spell. It's a hard spell to use, but I think we can do it," Sirius said pushing a book in front of James' face.

"That could work. If we use this spell with it," James responded, pushing his own book in front of Sirius. They're like twins or something. Seriously. They both looked down to read the others book at the same time. Then once they finished reading they both looked up and grinned, at the same time. Creepy huh?

"Do they always do that?" I asked Remus. James and Sirius looked over to me to listen.

"Do what? The weird, same thing at the same time thing?" Remus asked. Smart, see?

"Yeah. It's kinda creepy," I said nodding.

"No, it's not! It took a long time to get it right!" Sirius objected. I bet it did.

"Yeah, we spent a whole two hours getting it right!" James agreed. He smirked, and so did Sirius. Wow, they're idiots.

"Just ignore them, it's what I do," Remus said. Good idea, that's what I'll do. Ignore them and they can't annoy you. Haha.

Two agonizing hours later (who knew planning pranks took so long) we had all our information down in that niffty little notebook. We headed to the Great Hall to do all the spells. James pulled out a weird piece of paper and kept looking at it. I don't know why, it didn't seem too important, but from what I've seen of these guys I wouldn't be surprised if it let them know when someone was getting close to them. Or he was just trying to make it look important to impress me. Whatever.

So, we got to the Great Hall and I sat back and watched as they preformed all the spells on the tables and other things. I'm surprised that they were able to use most of those spells. Most of them were things that 7th years shouldn't be able to do. Pretty impressive.

"There, all done! Lets get back to the Common Room before someone finds up," James said. He looked at the piece of paper again, then opened the door, and ushered us all out. We followed him to the Gryffindor Common Room and sat down by the fire. I noticed everyone else stayed out of these seats. Must have something to do with the guys.

"Isabella Hart?" A little kid came up behind me and tapped me on the shoulder. I turned around and smiled at the little girl.

"Yeah," I said.

"I was told to give you this," She said shyly as she handed me a piece of paper. I thanked her and opened it up.

Miss Hart,

Your previous Headmaster and father have both been in contact with me. I understand that you were going through a rough time before you were expelled, but there are some rules you are to follow that have been put in place by your father. Please meet me after dinner in my office. I'm sure one of your classmates would be happy to escort you.

-Headmaster Albus Dumbledore

P.S. I like chocolate frogs.

"What's that?" James asked, trying to read over my shoulder. I quickly closed it and stuffed it in my pocket.

"It's nothing. I just need to go to the Headmaster's office after dinner," I started.

Sirius interrupted me. "You're in trouble already? That's got to be a new record!" Not really. And why did he seem so happy about getting in trouble? Weird dude.

"No, he just has to explain some stuff about the school," I quickly lied. I hate how I've been becoming better at lying this past year. It's scaring me. I've been through way to much.

"Oh, okay. I can show you where it is if you want," Remus offered. Such a sweetie!

"Yeah, thanks," I put on one of my fake smiles. I don't really know when the last time I smiled for real was. Before Mom died I think. My 16th birthday party, when she got me that soccer ball. I thinks that's when I smiled. God I miss her. Snap out of it! No thinking about her! You know what happened last time! God I'm such an idiot.

"What was it like in America? A lot different than here?" James asked after a while.

America. It's weird not being there any more. "Yeah, it's a lot different. Here, it's like an alien planet for me." They all gave me weird looks. Probably can't imagine England being so different from America. So I added to it "Okay, well it's just...I don't know. Everything is just so weird here. And back home, it was so normal for me. I'm sure I'll get used to it eventually."

"Yeah, it is different. I went to America with my family last year before I..." Sirius began. Before he what? And why did he say family like it was some kind of disease? He probably doesn't like them. "Before I ran away. I think we were in California."

"California?! I've always wanted to go there! How was it? Warm? Nice? Did you go to Hollywood?" I asked very quickly. California is where I would have probably moved to after school if Mom hadn't died. Stop thinking about her!

"Erm, I have no idea what Hollywood is," Sirius said. I guess that was the only question he understood.

"It's a city, where movie stars live and where they film movies. I've always wanted to go there," I explained.

I saw Sirius mouth 'movie' at Remus, who shrugged. How can they not know what a movie is? Did they live under a rock? I get that they may be purebloods, I know Sirius is, but every Saturday at New York High School for the Magically Gifted (my old school) we watched a movie. "Yeah, well I didn't get to see the finer aspects of California. I was stuck in my parents friend's house getting an 'education'" Sirius said sourly. WTF, an education?

I opened my mouth to ask what he was talking about, but immediately shut it when I noticed everyone's reactions to what Sirius said. James' eyes had gone hard and he looked a bit pale. Sirius was looking down looking throughly upset. Remus shook his head slightly when he saw me looking, and I have no idea if Peter even heard what Sirius said. I decided then and there that I didn't want to know, so I kept my mouth shut.

Everyone stayed silent for a moment, James and Remus were staring at Sirius. Probably to make sure he didn't disappear. After a tension filled minute passed, Sirius looked up and gave a weak smile "Sorry, bad memories."

"It's okay. I understand," I said. Boy did I understand. Very well.

Sirius shook his head. Whether to rid himself of the memory, or because he didn't believe me, I don't know. But when his head was still, he looked around and it looked like he was never upset. "What do you guys want to do until dinner?" He asked.

I shrugged. I had no idea what they did around here for fun. I wish I was still outside playing soccer. It's always a great way to waste time.

"Isabella! Can you come here?" One of the girls from my dorm asked. Her name was Mary, I think.

"Um, yeah. I'll see you at dinner guys," I told the Marauders before following Mary upstairs. "What's up?" I asked.

She looked kind of scared. She didn't answer, just pointed towards the door. Now I was confused. What was wrong with the door? Or was it what was behind the door? I opened it and water rushed down the stairs. I jumped and went into the room. I saw all the girls on their beds waving their wands around.

One of the girls, Alexa, noticed me. "We figured you'd want to save your stuff. And maybe you could help?" She looked helpless.

"What happened?" I asked as I waded my way to my bed. Yeah, the water was that deep. And it just kept coming.

"Well, I was trying this spell, and I think I got it wrong," Alexa said.

"You think?" Mary said from her bed. She had put a bubble charm around all her stuff, I decided to do the same. I didn't want all my stuff soaking wet.

After ten minutes we finally found a charm that worked. All of the water disappeared, and the carpet and our beds all dried too. "Boo-yah! It worked!" I cheered.

The girls looked at me like I had an extra head. I resisted the urge to feel my neck to make sure I still only had one head. "What?" Amy asked.

"Boo-yah! You've never heard someone say that before?" I asked. How could they not have heard that!? It's my favorite saying!

"No," Mary said laughing. "But I like it. Boo-yah!" She copied me. Ha! Told you it was a cool saying!

"It must be an American thing," I shrugged. "Okay, well I'm going back downstairs."

"Okay, bye!" The girls called as I walked out of the room.

"Adios!" I called back. I heard a bark-like laugh coming from the Common Room. Sirius was standing at the bottom of the steps leaning against the wall.

"Adios?" He asked. He never heard someone say that? He's insane!

"It's Spanish for 'good-bye,'" I said slowly, nodding my head. Seriously, is he like two years old or something? Everyone's heard 'adios'

"I know that," He scowled. "But you're not Spanish, so why are you saying it?" He asked. Oh, well that's better than not knowing what it means.

"Because I was saying good-bye," Duh.

"Okay, whatever you say. Anyway, the rest of the Marauders decided to head to dinner early, but I didn't want to go, I mean, we were just there! So I decided that I would give you the very exclusive Marauder's tour of the castle!" He exclaimed.

"Oh, okay. What's so special about the Marauders tour though? I was already shown most of the castle by Professor Strict," I said. I didn't know the lady's name, so I changed her name.

"Professor Strict? You mean McGonagall?" Sirius asked amusedly. I didn't think it was that funny. It's true, she's so strict! It was kind of scary.

"Yes, have you seen her? Everything about her says 'strict'" I tried to defend myself.

He laughed. That bark-like laugh again. "Okay, well the Marauder's tour is more...informative. You get to see all the secret passageways and everything!" He said excitedly.

I shook my head "Okay, lead the way," I followed him out of the Common Hall. He showed me the quickest ways to get to classes, and the Great Hall, and we stopped by the kitchens to see the House Elves, but they were busy making dinner, so we left.

"How exactly am I supposed to remember all this?" I asked after being shown yet another secret passageway.

"Just stick around with us and you'll eventually get it," he said. "Down to dinner? We don't want to miss the prank." I nodded and he turned down the stairs. A few minutes later we ended up in the Entrance Hall. We made our way over to the Marauders and I sat next to James like during lunch.

"How was the tour?" He asked me.

"Interesting. Did you guys really find all of those passageways by yourselves?" I asked. How could they figure everything out? Like the passwords, and where to touch.

"Yupp, we've had many late night adventures," James said.

Remus looked down at his watch. "Five minutes." He muttered.

This was exciting, waiting for a prank you know is going to happen. Believe it or not, this is the first prank I've taken place in. I know, getting expelled from my previous school you'd expect me to have done something like, paint the whole school yellow. I don't think that would've gotten me expelled, probably not, but you get the idea. But I got expelled for something I'm not proud of, and something I wish had never happened. We were being such idiots that day, but thats a story for another time.

"Two minutes," I heard Remus say as I snapped out of my thoughts.

"Two minutes until what exactly?" Someone asked from behind me. I turned around and saw Lily standing there with her hands on her hips glaring at James. She singled him out! She totally likes him.

"Nothing," James said without even turning around. "Just a harmless prank?" He tried. Oooh, not a good idea.

"What?" Lily hissed "You're Headboy James! You can't go around pranking the Slytherins all the time!" That was a bit unfair. I mean, we didn't prank only the Slytherins. I guess Lily is just upset because James isn't as mature as she thought. Oh well.

"It's not only the Slytherins..." James tried.

Remus cut him off, beginning to count down "Ten, nine eight, seven, six, five,"

"I swear, if it's bad I'll turn you in," Lily warned.

"Three, two, one, boom." Remus finished. As soon as he said 'boom' all of the tables and benches flipped upside down. Everyone fell to the ground as the tables floated higher in the air. Great, huh? But that's not all. When the tables reached the ceiling, the food finally fell off and landed on everyone. I don't know how they made the food stick until then, I wasn't paying attention, but it was cool watching the food fall from the ceiling. Sirius picked up a piece of some kind of pie and threw it across the room shouting "FOOD FIGHT!"

Food began flying around the room as students joined in the fight. It was brilliant. Everyone was covered in food, even the poor teachers. My second food fight since I found out I was a witch. Yes, there was a food fight at New York High School. And it wasn't for a prank. It was because two of the cliques were having an argument. It was pretty funny watching the fight, until someone threw ice cream at me.

After a few minutes of throwing food around the teachers seemed to realize they should stop it. The Headmaster waved his wand and all the food vanished. Even the food that was stuck to us. Pretty great. So we were all clean, but the tables were still on the ceiling. Professor Strict looked angry-er than usual. "Black, Potter, Lupin, Pettigrew! My office now!"

Ut oh. That wasn't supposed to happen. That's why Sirius yelled 'food-fight' so only he got in trouble. Sirius and James looked panicked. Sirius because the plan didn't work, James because Lily was glaring daggers at him. "McGonagall, James, Remus, and Peter had nothing to do with it!" Sirius called. That's what I call loyalty. Or just making sure the Headgirl doesn't murder the Headboy in his sleep.

McGonagall didn't believe him, but I guess she admired his sticking up for his friends "Fine Black, detention and ten points from Gryffindor." Not too bad I guess. It could have been worse, and this way, Lily can't kill James.

"Thanks, Pads," James muttered to Sirius as everyone left the Great Hall. "Come on, my dorm."

"Okay. Bye Moony, Wormtail, Soccer. See you later," Sirius said as he followed James to his dorm.

"You're still going to call me that?" I asked. It was kind of annoying. I mean, Soccer? Sure I play it, but come on!

"Yupp, till the last time I ever see you," He informed me, and I believed him. I would never live down this new nickname.

When they disappeared I turned to Remus and asked "Where are they going?"

"They're going to 'share their feelings'" He said laughing.

"What? That's weird," I said. I can't see either of them talking about how they feel to each other.

"Yeah, but that's what they do. It started in forth year I think. Every once in a while they go close themselves up somewhere and talk about whatever. They're really close, so it's not weird for them. They're like brothers," Remus explained. I thought that was sweet, them caring about each other that much.

"Weird, but sweet," I said smiling. "You can show me the Headmaster's office, right?" I asked. I had almost forgot. Wouldn't that be great? Then I wouldn't have the stupid rules Dad was sure to set.

"Yeah. Wormtail, I'll see you back at the Common Room later, okay?" Remus said to Peter. He nodded then we headed for the Headmaster's office.

We walked for silence in a while before we reached a stone gargoyle and Remus turned to me "Did he give you a password?" He asked. I took out the letter and read through it again. The only weird part was 'I like chocolate frogs.' I told him this and as soon as it left my mouth the gargoyle sprang aside revealing step. "I'll wait for you here so I can walk you back to the Common Room," He said.

"Thanks," I smiled and headed up the steps. At the top there was a huge wooden door. I knocked and from inside the room I heard 'Come in.' I opened the door and saw Albus Dumbledore sitting behind the table. I didn't look around the sure to be amazing office. He gestured for me to sit down and I did nervously.

"I am aware of why you were expelled from your last school, and I have talked to your father and Headmaster and they think there needs to be certain rules you need to follow," He started. I hate how they think that what I did is who I am. I mean, it was a one time thing that I wish had never happened. I know that I'll definitely never drink, ever again. "I believe that these rules do not need be enforced, I am sure that you are truly upset at what happened. But your father and Headmaster know you best." Great. I'll never be able to leave my room at this rate!

"The first rule is that you are banned from Hogsmead except if allowed for a special circumstance by the Headmaster, me. Rule two, you are to be under a strict curfew. You must be in your Common Room by eight o'clock every night, unless you are with a teacher. Rule three, you are not to go out for any extra activities in the school, such as Quidditch. That's all the rules, but there is something your father wanted me to say. He said that if you get more than four detentions this year you will not be going to Wizarding school any more. And you must maintain your grades," He finished. Great, basically, I'm not allowed to have a life.

"I understand that you were going through a rough time, and that's what made you do what you did. I wish these rules didn't have to be in place, I trust that you will not make the same mistakes again. But your father and old Headmaster believe these rules will help you. If you need any help, or anything, don't hesitate to ask me or any of the Professors," He gave me a warm smile. "That is all." He nodded and I stood up and walked out of the room.

Remus was sitting on the floor when I came down. He stood up and smiled at me. We walked the whole way in silence, I guess he understood that I needed time to think, but I don't know how. We reached the Common room and I said good-night to Remus and Peter, who met up with us when we entered. When I got into the dorm no one was there so I quickly changed and jumped into bed, grabbing my notebook. I wrote in it for a few minutes before deciding to go to bed.

A/N: Wow, this was so much longer than my other chapters, but there you go! Isabella's POV. Hope you liked it. Her past is something that you will get in full, but not until she gets closer to James and Sirius. Tell me if you have some ideas for the beginning of the story, because I have great ideas for when they're out of Hogwarts, but not when they are in Hogwarts. Next chapter will be up ASAP. x3 scribble
