Addy's POV:

I walked up to Dumbledore's office on Monday morning, after a full week of my Animagous lessons. I had been practicing relaxing my mind and body to be able to transform my shape. Dumbledore said I needed to be able to step out of my body in order to take the form of something outside of my figure. Today was the day when he was going to teach me how to transform myself. I walked up to his office. "Ice Mice" I stated the password and the gargoyle began to spin. I climbed up the stairway and stepped into his office. I grabbed a handful of toffees that were sitting on his desk. I sat down and began meditating, like I did everyday before my lessons. I felt an intrusion on my brain, and immediately forced the small point into an ever slighter dot, until it was completely out of my head.

"You're going to have to try better then that." I joked at Dumbledore, turning to the corner where he sat invisible. All of my senses were heightening from all of my meditating, and I was able to sense almost anyone in the room, thanks to my Legilimency lessons. Dumbledore had been cramming in my lessons into every last available minute we had in our short classes. I had grown used to being incredibly tired for my DADA classes, and soon learned to be very annoyed with Narcissa Black. I watched the corner where Dumbledore stood until he slowly appeared chuckling with a glint in his eyes.

"Good afternoon Ms. Eldridge" He smiled when he walked towards me. "Are you ready to start?" He walked over to me and sat down across from me. The lesson flew by and before I knew it I was sitting back in the common room, reading, when Sirius plopped down next to me and groaned. I kept reading, he groaned louder. I sighed,

"What is it Sirius?" I asked putting my book down, he smirked

"I have detention tonight." He grinned and I could tell he was proud at whatever he had done to put him in detention.

"What did you do?" I asked and turned my full attention to him, I had a feeling this was going to be a good story. He smiled, gleeful that I had asked.

"Well, first I turned Alecto Carrow's hair bright pink. And she looked so much like a pig that I couldn't help it." He cracked up.

"SIRIUS WHAT DID YOU DO?!?!?!?" I was now on the edge of my seat.

"I… I" he could barely breath through his gasps. "I… gave her a pig nose, A PIG NOSE!!! Then I cursed her so that she went around the school flopping her wings like a chicken. It was bloody hilarious!" I couldn't help but snicker a little.

"And I assume you had a good reason for this?" I asked attempting to keep a straight face.

"Of course, she was screaming at a little first year girl, calling her 'Mudblood,' and 'Wizarding Filth' and I quote, 'Go home to your b*tch of a mother, snap your wand in half, and leave the wizarding world the he11 alone!' The little girl was crying. I couldn't help it." I smiled at him and went back to my book, not saying anything. I had been spending so much time with Sirius lately, Lilly and Remus were so busy with prefect duties, and James was busy with quiddich. I had decided not to try out, and was fine with that. I was too busy with all the stuff Dumbledore was teaching me anyway. When the time came, Sirius stalked off to his detention, whistling with his hands in his pockets, I chuckled after him. I was just getting ready to go off to bed when Warren, a boy in our magical theory class, walked over to me. He sat on the couch shaking his blonde hair out.

"Hey Addy? Can I ask you something?" He asked seeming kind of nervous. Somewhere I hoped he was going to ask me to Hogsmeade, Warran was attractive with blonde hair and blue eyes he was a seaker for the Quiddich team and was all around a nice guy.

"Sure Warren, what is it?" I asked and searched his face as he continued not t make eye contact with me.

"Well, I was, ok a bunch of us were wondering if you and Sirius were dating." He said looking over towards a group of boys standing in the corner of the room. I cracked up. My nose scrunched up and I covered my face with my hands like I always did.

"No, Warren I can assure you we are not dating." He looked rather pleased with himself and without another word walked over to his friends who were watching anxiously and he pulled them up to the boy's dorms. Boys, I swear, bring in a new girl and its like giving crows something shiny. They become fascinated with it, I wasn't even all that pretty. I had boring brown hair, and a round face. I'll admit I loved my eyes, but hid them behind the dark fringe that was my bangs. I had freckles that sprinkled my nose and a dull accent from having lived in the Netherlands for so long. I looked nothing like the exotic Lilly, and possessed half her charm. But hey, I wasn't embarrassed by the way I looked, and I liked not having to worry about always having a public image, sometimes it was nice to be invisible.

Sirius' POV:

I was up in the boys dormitory getting ready for another riveting day of academic excellence. Not. James and Lupin were already up, Lupin because he was always up early and James because, well because he was trying this new plan to empress Lily. He called it responsibility. I shuddered. He had been waking up in time to get to his classes early, and been doing all of his homework. Lily kept a reproving eye on him, much to his discontent, as if waiting for him to crack. Between school work, and quiddich he was worn thin. But surprisingly enough he was happy, and I was happy he was happy though I bloody missed my best mate. It was now that he came up the stairs, laughing so hard his face was a bright red.

"Hey Prongs," I called to him as he collapsed onto the four poster bed. "What's so funny?" My reflection displayed my confused expression clearly.

"I…he…she…" He stumbled still unable to do anything but laugh.

"Breathe man BREATHE!" I encouraged, now intrigued with whatever had sent him off on such spews.

"It turns out Trina, Lily and Addy's roommate, was dating this guy, Greg. And Addy and she came down the stairs to find Greg and Tamra, that girl you were going to go to Hogsmeade with, making out on the couch. I mean, they were practically going at it from what I hear. Trina broke down, slapped him, and ran up the stairs. Addy, on the other hand, got really mad, probably from the fact that Greg had said he had never really loved Trina, but just a guess. She started screaming like a banshee and threw curses everywhere, I believe Tamra ended up with pigs feet. Greg, on the other hand, got worse. He, staggered off to the nurse with a tattoo of 'Man whore' across his forehead, devils horns sprouting from his head, and both his arms vanished to his elbows. I think she used the same curse she did on you on the train. But the best part is was when Addy told him, 'Now maybe you can keep your hands to yourself!' and stormed back up to Trina." He laughed and fell back onto his bed.

Well I guess my plans for Hogsmeade were totally blown now. Damn, now I was going to have to find another date by Saturday, and today was Thursday. "Man, that babe can be honestly scary sometimes." I whistled to James. I don't think I'd ever want to end up on the other side of a wand as her. Who knows what kind of permanent damage she could inflict. I slipped my sweater over my shoulder and walked down the stairs. Moony was already there sitting and, much to everyone's surprise, chatting with the blonde girl casually. They were sitting together on the couch, rather close I might add, and he was laughing at something she said while her cheeks tinged red. I shifted my attention back towards the girls' dorm as Addy walked down, still in a rage with Trina on her arm. Her eyes were slightly puffy with tears but her face now had a determined look, and she stormed down the stairs and out of the common room, presumably she was going to find Greg and give him a piece of her mind. That must have been one hell of a pep talk Addy had given her. The entire common room started clapping as Addy reached where we sat. It was cheesy in a way, but Addy still hid her face and slouched behind me.

"Are you ready to go?" She whispered behind my back. With a final look to the entranced Moony, the three of us left the scene of quite a few gracious Gryffindors, evidentially happy someone had stood up to Greg and Tamra. I sighed proudly and followed them James out.

We settled ourselves down at the table and each scooped up a bit of breakfast. Addy snatched for the news paper an owl had brought her and placed the payment in the tiny sack around its ankle. She also sorted through a few letters a black Eagle Owl had brought her, letters I presumed were from friends back in Durmstang . She scanned the letters as James and I sat fighting over the last bit of bacon. She finally reached out, snatched it off her plate and stuffed it in her mouth. I gaped as she returned to reading the paper. I gave James an incredulous look which he returned and then tapped Addy on the shoulder. "Yes?" She asked barely turning her head towards me.

"Uhm, I do believe that was my piece of bacon you just ate." I glowered.

"Uh-uh! It was mine!" James shot at me from across the table.

"Well Addy likes me better!" I shot back, smirking proudly.

"Nu-uh! Tell him Addy! You like me best don't you?" He gave Addy his, 'i'm a cute little boy so do everything I say' look. I grimaced and turned my eyes to Addy as well.

"She does not! She lurves me because I'm the sexiest thing to walk the earth don't you Addy" I flashed her my own pleading gaze. She looked torn, then she looked mad.

"You guys!" She exploded, "First of all, it was MY bacon because you were arguing over it. Second, I do not like you better, James. And Sirius I don't like you better nor are you the sexiest thing to walk the earth. And honestly, thinking you can win me over with puppy dog looks! I do have an older brother who has tried that a few too many times." She scowled.

"You have an older brother?" James gasped like an intrigued teenage girl. "Seriously! I so never knew! Like that's so totally not cool!" he continued on with the façade.

"Seriously Addy! How come you never told us you had an older brother?" I pleaded once again with my eyes.

"Maybe because you two are too annoying to take anything sincerely!"

"C'mon!" James whined. "We didn't mean to make you angry love! Could you ever forgive us?" He pouted and I turned back to Addy,

"Yah! C'mon doll, forgive and forget, that's our motto." She scowled again.

"Are you sure its not forget and be forgiven, because that seems like much more of your guys' style." I allowed this.

"True, so are we good?" I asked warily. Like I said earlier, I didn't want to get on her bad side.

"Yah, I guess we're ok. As long as you guys never fight over who I like better, at least not in front of me, again." James and I glanced at each other.

"Deal," we recited at the same time, grinning.
