A/N: Hi people! Yay, I got more reviews, thanks Gertie! She's been awesome, reviewed every chapter so far. Take note people, you can do it too! haha, well i'll be honest, this chapter is a really little one, just a filler chapter of sorts to keep things going, but I hope you all like it anyway :)

Disclaimer: I own only my OCs & the plot, Rowling owns the rest. *cries*

Chapter Four

Summer drifted by. I met with my friends a few times, Regulus, Sirius and the rest of the Marauders, Lily, Janie. It wasn't half as boring as it started out.

Finally though, it was almost over. August was drawing to an end, and soon it would be September 1st, back to school day. The prospect of a new year was exciting, as was the prospect of going to stay with Jane.

I packed my trunk ready for school, put Mouse in his cage, dressed in my muggle clothes – jeans and a navy blue hoody, and waited downstairs.

My dad had agreed to take me by side-along apparition. This was something I'd only done once before, and I shuddered remembering the uncomfortable feeling.

He came out of the kitchen and saw me waiting.

"Time to go then? Hm. Mel!" he yelled, calling my mother's name. She was called Imelda, but had never liked the name much, so most people called her Mel.

"Oh!" she came running down the stairs, "You're leaving! Oh honey, I feel like I shouldn't let you, I should be the one dropping you off at school!"

"Oh mum…" I rolled my eyes.

"Of course, you're a big girl now. Well have a good time. Jonathon, say hello to their parents for me, I'm sorry I can't come, I really have to finish these letters for the Ministry."

She gave me a big hug, and kissed the top of my hair.

"Miss you already!"

"Yeah, you too mum. Bye, love you." I said, letting go of her.

"See you in a bit, love." Dad said, kissing mum quickly and taking my hand.

"Ready?"

"Err-" I didn't finish my sentence, as suddenly everything went black, and it was like I was being squished on all sides and I couldn't breathe.

As suddenly as it started, it stopped, and I opened my eyes to find myself outside a quaint little farmhouse. The Warrick's house, I guessed.

"Okay?" Dad asked, checking I wasn't going to faint like I did last time.

"Yep, fine thanks." I nodded.

I dragged my trunk along behind me, and Dad carried the owl cage, and we walked up the path and knocked on the door.

"EEEEEE! Aurora!" two girls threw open the door and virtually jumped on me, pulling me into tight hugs.

"Hey guys!" I grinned when they let go of me. "This is my Dad guys, Dad, this is Lily, you met her in Diagon Alley last week, and this is Jane. You know, Humphrey's daughter?"

"Oh yes, hello again Lily, pleased to meet you Jane. How is Humphrey these days? Haven't seen him in a while."

"Oh he's very good thank you. He talks about your schooldays together all the time!" Jane smiled politely.

"Muuuuuum!" Lily yelled, "Aurora and her Dad are here!" she turned back to us. "Would you like to come in? Mum just made some tea I think."

"That would be lovely." Dad nodded, lifting my heavy trunk inside for me, and following us.

"Hello! You must be Jonathon! I'm Rosalyn." Jane's mum said, coming into the kitchen where we had assembled and shaking my father's hand.

"Here, I'll take that." She said, waving her wand causing my trunk and owl cage to float out of the room and up the stairs, probably up to Jane's bedroom.

"My husband's at work at the moment, he said he's sorry he can't be here to see you. I've heard a lot about your schooldays together, it seems you two were quite the troublemakers!" Janie's mum chatted as she poured cups of tea.

"That's a shame, I'll have to come visit him another time. Yes, I guess we were quite mischievous. He was always the worst though, if you ask me, he lead me astray!"

Dad winked at me, and they both laughed.

"That doesn't seem too hard to believe!"

"Just going upstairs, mum!" Janie said, grabbing me by the arm and dragging me out of the room. We ran upstairs and Janie and Lily gave me a quick tour of the house, ending in Jane's bedroom.

"Wow, nice room!" I grinned, looking round. It was about the same size as mine, painted in a delicate lilac colour. There were two extra mattresses on the floor.

"This mine?" I asked, flopping down on the one closest to my trunk.

"Yep." Lily and Janie both flopped down next to me, pulling up extra cushions, and getting comfy.

"So Lily, tell me more about this guy you mentioned!"

A few days later, it was September 1st. We were slightly late to the station, so had to rush.

"Bye mum!"

"Bye Mrs Warrick!"

"Bye, thanks for having us!" we all called, scrambling onto a train.

Luckily, the boys had already saved us a compartment, and we went in. Lily gratefully accepted help from James to lift her luggage into the rack, though slightly regretted it when he came and sat next to her.

"Siri-baby!" I joked, sitting down and putting my legs straight up on his lap. "Oh, how I've missed my leg rest!"

"Aw, missed you too, dearest Aurora-baby." He laughed, catching on to my little joke. Nope, I'd never called him that before, but my hyper attitude after staying at Janie's the last few days, hadn't worn off.

"Ahh…" I leant my head on James' shoulder with a grin, and got comfortable. I watched students still walking up and down the corridor even after the trained had pulled out of the station.

I caught Regulus' eye as he walked past, and I grinned and waved. He saw me, gave me a smile, and waved back. He then saw my legs on Sirius, and his smile faltered slightly, Sirius glared at him, and he walked away.

I slapped Sirius' arm when I saw the look he'd given him, and moved my legs off him.

I wish Regulus was part of our gang. I loved him just as much as I loved Lily and Janie and the Marauders, but they just wouldn't, or maybe couldn't, accept that.

"What?" Sirius asked, as I turned away from him. "What did I do?"

"You know exactly what you did, so don't play dumb."

"Oh Aurora…"

I ignored him, and moved to the spare seat next to Peter, who looked quite scared and eyed Sirius warily.

"Aurora." He said again, and I poked my tongue out at him, and pulled out a book to read.

Why couldn't he accept that Regulus was my friend? Why couldn't he just be nice?

A/N: I know it was short, but hey, it was alright wasn't it? Just incase you haven't noticed already, the chapters are going through the years at Hogwarts quite fast, it will slow down soon, probably for 6th or 7th year. If all goes well, I want this story to continue into their adult lives, but we'll see how it goes :D please review/favourite/alert!
