….
I woke up to pitch black. Wondering if I had gone blind, I looked around and saw the crescent shaped moon shining in the distance. It took me a long time to work out where I was and then it hit me, I was at James's after being told I was to marry Regulus Black. I carried on searching the room when my eyes landed on a black shaggy mop of hair. At first I thought it was James, until I realised the hair was much too long to be James's. I smiled as I saw how Sirius's head was lolled to one side peacefully sleeping, wow if he stayed like this I could actually tolerate him; he looked so cute. His eyes slowly began to open he seemed a little confused glancing around until his eyes landed on me. "Marley your awake!" He said, taking my hand in his just to check I was real, I smiled at him "Where is everyone?, no offence I wasn't quite expecting to see you when I woke up," he smiled at me and replied, "none taken, James is in the guest bedroom comforting Lily, so I thought I'd come and sit with you." He smiled sheepishly; I gave him a huge smile back "Whys James comforting Lily?" I saw his eyes well up with tears and a huge lump form in his throat. I scowled at this Sirius Black did not cry often, he opened his mouth and said "we-w-we-th-th-ought-y-you-w-w-w-were-d-d-d-dead." He stuttered. Squeezing his hand I spoke "well im not," I smiled genuinely, he smiled back. We sat like this for what felt like ages, when the door was suddenly pulled open and my two best friends walked in, one sporting very messy windswept hair and the other with bright red hair which could be mistaken for a blazing fire. "Marlene your awake!" Lily screamed bounding over to me, closely followed by James. They were both beaming and then the dreaded question was asked. "What happened?" James asked concern filling his hazel orbs, I took a deep breath ready to tell my story. "Well it started when I was told to go down to diner," They were all gazing at me looking intrigued "I went into the dining room and found out that my parent are pure blood maniacs." I said, my eyes welling up with tears "When I sat down," I looked over to Sirius and swallowed the lump in my throat "I was told I was to marry your brother." Everyone looked taken aback, their mouths opening and closing like fish. I looked over to Sirius who looked livid and carried on "So I ran away, but on my way out loads of wizards hexed me, the worst being some ancient curse Bellatrix used on me." I saw Sirius's fists clenched and Lily sobbing heavily and James seemed to be frozen to the spot. "My brothers the one who helped me escape I am very grateful to him now." As everyone realised I had finished Sirius spoke up "Well im glad you're ok now." But as I looked into his eyes, I saw something else hatred, I could tell he was thinking about doing something rash.

The weeks went by fast. Lily had gone home two days after she came, but I promised her I would owl every day, which I did. Me and Sirius were still the same, bickering and arguing but in a friendly manor and James was just, well just, just being James I guess. When I found my missing picture of Lily I tickled James to death, but that was pretty much all that happened. It was two days before term started, I was sat at the Potters breakfast table enjoying my oatmeal and the few more minutes quiet I got while the boys of the house were asleep. It seemed Mrs Potter had the same idea as me, as she was sat there reading witches weekly. There was a huge bang followed by loud shouting, me and Mrs P as Sirius calls her smirked knowingly at each other. Mr P came down, "Well that was a very nice way to wake up!" he stated sarcastically. We all burst out laughing at that.
After about five minutes James and Sirius came down each soaking wet and sporting lovely new hair dos or should I say hair don'ts. James's hair was bright green and styled in a Mohican and Sirius's was pretty much the same except his was bright pink. That set me Mrs Potter and Mr Potter off laughing, they looked truly ridiculous. "It's not funny!" Sirius huffed. Once we had all calmed down Mrs Potter said "Right lets fix them, Marlene you do Sirius I'll do James," Sirius looked freaked at this, "Why doesn't Marlene do James!" He let out a nervous laugh, I batted my eyelashes at him and pouted "do you not trust me Siri-poo," James smirked and Sirius looked horrified, "Never say that again, please!" I raised my one eyebrow at him "Why does it not work for me?" I said imitating one of his many fangirls. "No it's just your one of the only girls who has never called me that, and I would prefer to keep it that way, No trust me I hate it when girls call me that!" I laughed remembering how many girls had called him Siri-poo, no wonder he looked scared "Ok I won't, anyway I don't know how you can stand the girls when they say that?" He looked surprised at me and replied "Well I never truly listen to most of them, only the ones that don't have a deathly high pitched voices." I laughed and said "Come on let's go and tame the Mohican."
When we came back from my bedroom and into the kitchen Sirius took a deep breath and said "Ok how bad is it?" I wacked him on the arm. "To be honest with you mate it looks better than it usually does," This caused Sirius to run to the closest mirror and stare at himself "Wow it's actually really good, I takes me ages to make my hair look like this in the morning, thanks Marley!" He came over and kissed me on the cheek, I must say that took me by surprise and my cheeks went scarlet, suddenly an owl flew in and attached to its leg was three Hogwarts letters. We took them, I felt instantly better, in two days' time I was going to the best place in the world for my sixth year HOGWARTS!
