Last Time in Dark Friends…

"My. That girl is quite mature… Why can't you be like that James?" Laurie teased him lightly.

James just gave a weak laugh but was in deep thought. The two ice queens of his school had just been NICE! Oh, if only Padfoot could've seen it! No one would ever believe him. But then again, he himself barely believed. Why? Why were the two girls so nice out here and so cold and uncaring in school?

He continued to be in deep thought as he watched the Evans family laugh at a joke that a man, he guessed was Lily's dad, had just told.


"GIRLS! HURRY UP AND LET'S GO! YOU'LL MISS THE TRAIN!"

Lily and Dawn were both rushing around their rooms finishing up last minute packing. It was currently 10:15 and the train left at 11. It was a half hour drive back to the station and finding parking would probably take at least 15-20 minutes.

'We should've finished this up last night.'

'I know but we went out to the club remember? It'll be awhile before we can do that again.'

'Yeah. Well, next time you decide to go clubbing the day before going back to school, remind me to say no.'

'But then where would all the fun be? It's hilarious to see the faces of the bartenders as we get 15 drinks and don't even show any signs of getting drunk.'

'Well, yeah. That is hilarious.'

"I'm done. What about you?"

'Just need to get the book-' Lily was referring to the book she had found on Christmas in Bertie's and Botts. She had kept it on top of her tall armoire for safe keeping.

There was a loud crash heard from Lily's room. 'Got it.'

Dawn and Lily hurried down the stairs, their trunks thumping behind them as they ran and arrived at the car, Jacob and Claudia waiting in the front seats. Putting the trunks into the open trunk, the girls closed it and hurried into the back seat.

The girls outfits today were matching black long sleeve shirts and black dress pants with black boots and their bracelets from their "parents".

Settling in, Lily and Dawn took their walkmans out of their separate black messenger bags and put on their headsets, listening to the loud and heavy sounds of The Grateful Dead and The Who, while singing lightly to themselves to the songs.

When arriving at the station, Claudia, who had been driving, began following people to their car to find a spot. Surprisingly, they found one within 5 minutes and after finding two carts, the girls put their trunks and the cages of their two owls that had been in the back seat with them. The owls themselves were already at Hogwarts.

The family rushed through the crowds of people to the barrier where they saw a younger looking girl, most likely a 3rd year, run through the wall and the parents leaving. Claudia and Jacob followed their daughters to the barrier and hugged them tightly before saying goodbye and reminding them to write and stay out of trouble.

Lily ran first into the barrier, Dawn following. The two just made it onto the train as it started moving. They took their trunks and cages and brought them to an empty compartment. Sitting, the two took a sigh of relief.

Everything was peaceful with the girls were listening to their walkmans and Lily reading one of her muggle books, Dawn a quidditch magazine. They're peace was short lived however after but a few minutes.

BANG!

Lily and Dawn got up to see what the commotion was. They may have had their headphones on, but they had heard the crash. It was almost impossible not to.

Getting up and opening the compartment door, they saw Sirius Black and Lucius Malfoy glaring at each other, each a wand in hand.

The girls saw Malfoy's cronies (including Snape) on one side and the Marauders on the other, both with their wands out pointed at one another.

'Remus. What's going on?'

Remus glanced around slightly and locked eyes with Lily's own questioning ones. 'Sirius banged into Malfoy and Malfoy got all upset taking his wand out. Sirius dodged the first attack.'

Lily then noticed a large dent in the wooden wall of the train.

Dawn smirked and crossed her arms. "Why hello Malfoy. How are you today?"

Malfoy's head turned and seeing Dawn, his eyes flashed with anger and a tint of fear.

Lily took a step closer to him next to Dawn and looking at his arm, . "I see your wrist is okay. I do hope Dawn didn't break it too badly."

"Evans. Kortz. This is my fight." Sirius eyes narrowed getting annoyed.

Dawn put on an innocent face and raised her hands in mock surrender. "Well, excuse me Black. I was just having a little talk with Malfoy here. But please, don't let me interrupt you."

At that moment, the Head Boy Spencer Willows came. Spencer Willows was a tall but scrawny Ravenclaw with close cut blonde hair and brown eyes covered by his very thick glasses. He was a bit weird over his role as Head Boy. Like it was the only thing in life that mattered and that he was almighty because of it.

"What is going on here? Fighting is strictly forbidden. Especially on the trains. Just think what could have happened if one of you had done a spell to make a window break and what if you fell out the window? How could I explain that to Dumbledore? I couldn't. Now please children, get along now and leave here."

Yeah. He was a bit weird… Bit of a worry nut too.

"Shut up Spencer." This came from the Head Girl Rebecca Robinson, a curly brunette Hufflepuff with olive green eyes. She constantly wondered how Spencer even got the position of Head Boy. Rebecca was kind and more willing to let things go than Spencer. She turned to the other students. "Sorry about him. Now, what happened here?"

Remus came up. "Well, we-" he gestured to himself and the Marauders "were walking down the hall and Sirius bumped into Malfoy. Malfoy then took out his wand and sent out a curse which Sirius dodged but some damage was done." He pointed to the large dent in the wall.

This got Spencer, who had overheard everything, into a fit. "Oh my god?! What have you done? You've destroyed school property! Shame on you children. Shame. How could you do this?"

Rebecca rolled her eyes and put a silencing charm on him to which he was rambling on into nothingness with no voice. She turned to the Marauders, specifically Sirius.

"Well, Black I suggest you watch where you walk from now on to prevent anything like this. And Malfoy," she now turned to the blonde. "I know you hate Black and all but grow up. I'll let it slide this time but next time you'll get three detentions. Got it?"

The Marauders were the only one to nod. The Slytherins just grunted and walked away, mumbling stuff about blood traitors and un-pure. Lily and Dawn were still standing there with their arms crossed watching to see the end of this.

Rebecca shook her head. "Well, you all better leave. I have to deal with this now." She was referring to the now angry looking Spencer. Taking his hand leading him to the Heads Compartment, Lily and Dawn heard her mumble "Why'd I get stuck with him?"

"Well, that was interesting…" Lily said. She turned to go back in her compartment with Dawn following her leaving the Marauders alone in the train hallway.

Sirius took out his wand and was about to say a spell on the compartment when two voices stopped him.

"DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT BLACK!"

Sirius put down his wand and couldn't help but sigh. How did they always know when he was going to do something to them? It was so weird.

Peter looked around questioningly at his friends before breaking the silence. "Now what?"

The other boys shrugged, not quite sure themselves of what to do with the long hours ahead of them on the train.

"Go find a compartment."

"Think up some pranks."

"Snog a couple of girls."

The boys turned to Sirius with exasperated looks on there faces. "Sirius. You snogged a girl just an hour ago outside the train station. Remember? The blonde with the Irish accent?"

"So?"

The boys just shook their heads and walked down the hall leaving a confused Sirius. 'What's wrong with wanting to snog a girl every hour?'

Alec sighed as he made his way down the empty corridor towards the Great Hall for dinner and the return of students from the holidays. He had received a letter from Voldemort asking him what information he has learnt. Needless to say, Alec hasn't learned any information due to the fact he hasn't been spying on Dumbledore.

After receiving that letter, Alec had gone up to see Dumbledore and told him everything. He didn't care if he got in trouble or sent to Azkaban. He just wanted to stop lying to everyone.

Dumbledore had been shocked but had strangely accepted Alec and told him, he could give him false information to keep him out of trouble with Voldemort. Alec had even asked him why he was so accepting of him? Why didn't he call the Ministry? He was working for Voldemort fpr Merlin's sake! Dumbledore didn't really give a straight answer. Just, "Sometimes we do stuff we do not want to. You have nothing to worry about."

Man that old man was weird…

"Alec!"

Alec turned towards the familiar voices calling him just in time to see Lily and Dawn run into him in a giant hug. He couldn't help but laugh at their happiness to see him and hugged them back. After a few seconds, they pulled away.

"How was your Christmas here?" Lily said smiling.

Alec shrugged. "Boring. No one was really here though Peeves dropped a bucket of cold water on Mrs. Norris and got Filch on a rampage. It was actually pretty funny." He decided to tell the girls later about him telling Dumbledore so he quickly changed the subject. "What about you girls? Eat anything good?"

Lily shrugged. "Not really." Dawn only smiled.

Alec looked at Lily with a questioning look. Lily rolled her eyes. "When we went to a club, she hooked up with this guy, Drake I think. Said he was the 'best tasting' guy ever."

Dawn grinned and looked as if she was in a far off land, remembering Drake. "Can you say delicious?"

Lily smiled shaking her head slightly at her friend.

Alec stepped away with a funny face. "Ooooookay then. I don't need to know about my sister hooking up with guys."

Dawn laughed and lightly punched his arm. "Oh, don't worry Alec. We only shagged each other senseless and then left each other to never see each other again."

Alec smile instantly vanished, his eyes narrowing. "What?" His voice came out as a hiss.

There was a moment of silence before Lily and Dawn started cracking up, leaving a confused Alec watching the two laughing girls.

"Oh Alec. You should've-laugh- seen-laugh-YOUR FACE!"

Alec then realized that Dawn had been kidding. "Yeah. Real funny Lily." He didn't like it when the girls tricked him like that. It made him feel stupid and lied too.

Dawn nodded her head. "Yeah, it was."

Alec decided to change the subject before he learned anymore details about his sister and her best friend's love life.

"So, can I see this mysterious book Dawn told me in her letter? She didn't say much"

Lily nodded trying to be more serious now but still giggling slightly and took the book, which she had minimized, out of her pocket. Pointing her wand and making it back to normal size, Lily handed the book to Alec. "We haven't looked in it yet. We wanted to wait until we saw you."

Alec nodded slightly, looking over the book. The cover was red leather that looked pretty old but still vibrant and title itself was black. Alec couldn't find an author, be it the inside of the book or the cover and looked up questioningly.

Dawn shrugged. "We couldn't find out who wrote it. No name on the cover or title page inside. Quite strange…"

"Well, let's go check it out." Dawn and Alec nodded at Lily's words and walked off, deciding to skip the Christmas dinner. Unknown to them was a person who had heard everything.

James stepped out from the shadows, his eyes wide. He had heard the whole conversation. He had seen them on the Marauders Map and his curiousity had led him to here in the hallway near the portrait of that stupid mermaid Morgana. She couldn't sing a damn note and always tried hitting on James.

But back to the matter at hand.

Alec and Dawn. They were … SIBLINGS!
