Elizabeth Jones's POV

I woke up to find that I was in a very dark room that I couldn't quite make out. I looked around and saw a fire... so this must be the common room? I took my wand from my boot and brought the fire back to life with a quick spell, the common round become illuminated. I looked around and admired the way the fire danced off the walls and the furniture. The way it really did feel like home now I'd been here for a while now. I can't remember the last time I felt I had a home. When my Aunt was still alive and I was living with her at her house that didn't feel like a home. No way had back then. I'm so glad I got allowed to stay at Hogwarts.

After admiring the common room I started thinking of something else... what was I doing in the common room? The last thing I can remember was sitting by the lake. I didn't remember coming back into the castle or climbing any staircases... weird. I must have fallen asleep that's the only explanation I could think of. One of the teachers must have brought me into the castle... but even that didn't make sense they would have woken me up no teacher would have picked me up or done a levitating spell or anything like that it wasn't professional enough for them. Which brings me back to not remembering going back to the common room... I'll have to ask someone in the morning but right now I am completely shattered.

I trudged slowly up the stairs to the girls dormitory's and stumbled into the bathroom. I really was tired I don't really know why though... just a long day I guess. I cleaned my teeth and got changed trying to be as quite as I could because I didn't want to wake anyone else because they were already in their beds. After coming out of the bathroom and literally feel into bed.

When I woke up the next day and walked down to the common room James ambushed me. "What did you do to Sirius last night?" He asked.

"Excuse me?" I asked confused.

"Sirius left the hospital wing as soon he woke up to go, and I quote 'Hex you into oblivion' then we didn't see him till the evening and he was saying stuff like 'She didn't mean to hurt me' and 'I was just being arrogant'. What did you do to him?" He explained and then asked again.

I don't know what you're talking about I didn't see Black last night. Then it hit me, Black might have brought me inside? But that doesn't make any sense he was angry and wanted to hex me. How would he know that I didn't mean to hurt him? And why would he change his mind? Plus this was Sirius Black we were talking about he didn't exactly seem to like me to much I'd probably describe it as disliking me with a passion. Why would he act so gentlemanly towards someone he didn't like? I was missing something and James knew what I needed to know. James what aren't you telling me? I asked.

"Nothing" He smiled cheekily and walked away. There was no way I was just going to let that go. I would find out eventually I always did. If I didn't find out I was going ot work it out so it didn't really bother me that I qwasn't going ot hear it from James pOtter's lips.

-A few days later-

I was walking to my next class with Lily and Alice. I didn't have many friends at Hogwarts I really didn't expect to have any but Lily was just too kind a person to block out and Alice is a lovely person as well. They called me their friend and that somehow made me feel slightly guilty because they really knew anything about me. Most people avoided talking about my past with me because they'd assume I'd get upset. Stupid really I'm not going to suddenly start crying. I joked to myself. I may be a girl but I'm not that feminine. Actually to be honest I was more of a man when it came to my feelings, unless the feeling was anything to do with my temper. Emotions like anger or annoyance I had no trouble showing to people. I just didn't like discussing with people how I felt it wasn't my style I preferred for people to not know anything and not judge me on my past. The problem with me was that lots of people knew about my past not all of it of course but one of the defining moments was published everywhere in the wizarding world.

I didn't really feel the need to tell them anything anyway. If they asked I might divulge some information but for now I was happy with everyone thinking nothing about me other than what happened at present.

It's just disgusting Lily commented angrily stopping in the middle of the corridor looking at somethig with a disgusted look on her face.

"I agree they should really take it someplace else" Alice agreed. I followed their gaze and saw Sirius eating the face off a girl in our year... I forget her name.

I just laughed "I hope she knows what's she's getting herself into"

"How can you laugh at that? Doesn't it bug you?" Lily asked.

Nope, not really, if Black's tongue is in someone's mouth it means that there's less time for him to piss me off. I explained.

"Is it me Lils but does what she just say make sense?" Alice giggled.

"My God you're right Alice." Lily said sarcastically. The three of us carried on to our next class laughing.

"But I do agree they should at least have the decency to do it in a broom cupboard." I agreed with my friends.

We got to herbology and I immediately switched off. If there ever was a subject that I really couldn't stand it was Herbology. It's not that I didn't respect it because herbs are very useful to wizards for healing and other things but it just really didn't interest me too much. The only thing that kept my body from going into a boredom induced comma was knowing that I could at least tease Sirius about his girl habits.

For a few weeks Black's had tongue had been rather busy let's say. Everyone knew that Black was a womanizer but for some reason he was channelling his oh so annoying talent extremely well. It seemed to be a different girl every day... literally. He probably had a list of the female population in our year and was ticking the names off. Thank god I was friends with Lily because I pretty sure that's why Black hadn't said anything or tried anything on me, plus I wasn't worth the effort. Lily was obviously completely off bounds for Sirius because of James.

Half way through the lesson I whispered something in Sirius's ear while he was planting something. "Got any saliva left Black? I smirked as I drew back to look at his expression.

"Shut up Jones" He said angrily.

Aw did I hit one of ickle Black's nwerves? I mocked him as I walked away. It was his own fault if he didn't want people to comment then he should make his 'sessions' more private, he might as well be auditioning the poor girls. Although it was quite unusual for Black to get his knickers in a twist about girls he usually openly admitted what he did with them. He's acting strangely depressed about all the girls he's been getting. He'd been acing strange ever since that night someone had brought me into the castle I was pretty sure it was Black that had brought me in now. It all made sense now. Black being in a weird mood and James knowing something that I didn't. Of course James would know if it was to do with Sirius.

What I couldn't work out was why he changed his mind about hexing me? Why did he bothered carrying me in, we didn't like each other? And why he's been acting strange ever since.

Oh well he'll probably sort himself out soon enough whatever it is bothering him.

Sirius Black's POV

I had tried to keep myself busy with all the girls I had been snogging but it hadn't worked Jones still intrigued me. I needed to know why she said all that stuff. I had been eavesdropping on some of the conversations she had with Lily but she never talked about her past. Ever. This made me more interested.

I would have to bit my tongue if I wanted to know because the only way I was ever going to find out anything was if I become her friend... Jones's friend. I am pretty sure that that's not going to happen Eliza isn't exactly the most friendly person towards me. Plus James was slightly suspicious about that night I took Eliza back into the castle because I told him half the story and my best friend was far from dumb he knew something was bothering me. I was going to have to tell him. I'll probably end up telling Remus too but he'd have no part in it. He had so much potential to be a prankster if he just stopped worrying about school so much. I thought for the hundredth time.

Later at dinner I decided that I was going to try and get to know Eliza the right way not the suspicious prankster way. You'd think that would probably be the easier option but this was Jones we were talking about becoming her friend was going to be hard.

Eliza had just put some chicken on her plate and before she had chance to eat it James said:

"So did everyone have a nice night last night? Sleep alright?" James said grinning. This comment earned him a large elbow in the ribs.

So Jones can you play Quidditch? I asked quickly changing the subject. I couldn't read the expression on Eliza's face.

"Are you joking?" Lily said just as Eliza opened her mouth to speak.

"What?" I was confused.

Eliza's the best Quidditch player ever. Lily explained.

"Lils I'm really no..." Jones began but was interrupted again.

"Sorry Jones but my Lily flower is right, you're amazing." James interrupted. Lily glared at him when he used that nickname.

"How does everyone know this?" I asked confused still.

We all went out on the Quidditch pitch a week ago and we saw what Jones here could do. James explained.

"Excuse me? Why wasn't I there?" I asked annoyed now.

"You were 'busy' " Lily giggled.

"Well I was going to ask if you were going to try out for the team." I said. Jones opened her mouth to speak but was interrupted for the third time.

"I invited her she's so good she doesn't need to try out." James said quickly.

"God Damn it guys! I can talk for myself!" Jones shouted.

"Sorry Eliza" James apologized.

And like I told you I don't know if I'm going to join. I haven't given you an answer yet I'm still thinking about it. She warned us.

But Eliza you have to join Lily pleaded. Lily may not be able to play Quidditch but she sure as hell did not like loosing to the other houses especially not Slytherin. Lily Evans was a competitive person in all areas not matter what her a bility was in any of those areas.

"Yeah and we could really kick Siltherin's butt's if you joined... not that we can't already but with you we could completely humiliated them." Prongs smiled evilly.

"Hey where's Remus?" Lily asked randomly.

Erm he's gone to the library I think why? I told her.

"I need to go ask him about a book he lent me." She explained getting up and walking from the hall.

"Where ever my Lily flower goes I must follow." James shouted to her dramatically.

"Potter you dare" She warned almost running from the hall.

"He really should stop being so annoying, calling her things like Lily Flower." Eliza commented.

"Why?" I asked.

"Why? What a stupid question because if he did Lily wouldn't find him so annoying. If he proves that he's mature then Lily would adore him." She explained.

"How long have you been at this school and you already think you know everything?" I laughed.

I don't know everything, I know a lot more than people here but not everything and its true Lily would love James if he wasn't such a 'Toe-rag' She quoted Lily.

"You hardly know more than people here you hardly ever read or listen in class. How could you know so much?" I asked. Eliza looked as though she thought about what she was going to say.

"Let's just say I've already done all the work we are going to be studying for the next two year and I've had experience in real situations. I've met some of the things we learn about if Defence against the Dark Arts."

Wow get you, care to elaborate? I was finally getting somewhere. I was pretty sure she'd met a Dementor before but that just begs the question why had she met one before.

Elizabeth Jones's POV

"Not particularly." I said honestly. I was proud of myself for telling someone something about my past... sort of. What I said still counted.

"Go on." Black pleaded.

"I don't know why you want to know but stop trying." I said bluntly.

We carried on eating our meal in silence until Sirius said something. "So why might you not be joining the team?" He asked.

Just I haven't played Quidditch since I left Hogwarts. I explained.

"You haven't flown a broom for that long?" Black gaped at me.

"No I've flown alright but I haven't played a proper game since..." I paused. "My parents died I think was the last time." I wanted people to know a little more about my history why not just bite the bullet and tell Black?

"I'm sorry about your parents." He said seriously.

Don't say that! I nearly shouted. That's the one line that really gets under my skin. Why are you sorry? Sorry you weren't there to save them? Sorry you can't do anything about it? You didn't even know them! I was shouting now, people were starting to look.

"I was just..." He began in defence.

Merlin I'm Sorry... I apologized quickly in a quieter voice than the one I'd just used.

"It's ok. When people ask me about my family, not that any of them are dead but when they say that it bugs me too, I should have known it would bug you too." He smiled. " Oh and I meant to tell you, you look a lot like your mother."

"Excuse me?" I asked in shock.

"You do, you've got her hair and eyes." Sirius smiled.

How'd you know what she looked like?

"I loved your parents, I've always wanted to be an Aura and your parents were my idols." He explained.

"Really? ...Wow" Well I wasn't expecting that. "Shame you couldn't have met my brother you would have loved him." I laughed.

We sat there smiling for a while before it got too much for me.

Ok this is too much for me I'm walking to class and I'm not walking with you, we've had too much friendly conversation with each other it's weirding me out I might even get a rash I laughed.

"Thanks" Sirius laughed.

I got up from my seat and was just about to walk to my class but something stopped me. "Thank you Sirius" I smiled a look of confusion crossed his features and then he realized what I meant.

"No problem Eliza" He smiled back. So I was right he had taken me back into the castle.

"You could be a real gentleman if you tried you know" I commented.

"I know but it's more fun to be a Marauder." He beamed at me.

A/N- This is sort of a filler chapter x Is this the beginning of a friendship? Why does Sirius want to know about her past so much? ; ) Please review it'd mean a lot to me x
