I woke up to a sound pounding against my window.

Tap. Tap. Tap

I slowly moved out of my bed. I never liked getting up. Especially not on a day like today. There were stratus clouds covering the sky as if covering us with a blanket. Rain's gonna come today. I love the rain. Perfect weather to run around as a wolf in. I grab the letter, which is from Dumbledore saying that he can't make the meeting today. I write a quick response then send it off with fawkes. 'Well' I thought. 'Already awake, might as well stay up.' I sighed then left to shower. In about ten minutes I walked into my room, threw on a random pair of skinny jeans and a tank top. I walked out the door, and literally ran into Harry. "Meeting's being held in here today. Be prepared for them." I bark over my shoulder as I walk to the lion's hiding place. The fat lady looked up.

"Password?"

"Time" I mutter then walk through the doors. As usual all eyes watch me as I approach a sleeping Remus. All the rest of the marauders are looking at me curiously. I put a finger up to my lips and walk to Remus. He would always fall asleep right after Order meetings and I would find creative ways to wake him up. I walk up behind the chair he is sleeping in, put my hands lightly on his shoulders, and whisper seductively in his ear. "Time to wake up." He immediately jumps up with his wand out and I burst out laughing so hard that I almost fall on the floor.

"What was that?" he asks incredulously. He just got woke up to a seductive, low voice whispering in his ear, and now everyone was laughing. I walk up behind him when his back is turned and run a finger up his spine, hearing his barely suppressed sigh I smiled and reached up on tip-toes to whisper in his ear.

"I've been told I can be a very seductive actress. Do you agree with that?" I whisper huskily in his ear just to tease him. He growls and I smile at the boys. I kiss his cheek then walked toward the girls dorms saying, "The meeting is in my room at noon." I get up the stairs and hear a voice coming from door, I edge closer to the door to hear what they are saying.

"But Lil, he does like you, I swear on it!" Alice's voice comes through the crack in the door. I look in to see Lily and Alice standing right in front of the other.

'No he doesn't. James is just an arrogant prat who wants what he can't have." She said slowly as if trying to speak to a child. I take this as cue to walk in.

"He does. You just have to admit it to yourself Lily, he does like you. Anyways, that's not what I came here. The meeting will be in my room rather than in old Dums office at noon. Be there." I finish and glare threateningly at them. I walk out the door and head towards the dungeons. I get there and plaster a smirk onto my face. I knock on the wall and wait for someone to come.

"No ones there at this time a day." A voice says behind me and I jump. I turn around and see the cruel smirk a Malfoy always wears. "They're all at class. Where they're supposed to be. Why are you here?" He circles around me as if he's stalking his prey.

"I can ask you the same thing. I was just doing my job to inform my acquaintances that the meeting time and place changed."

"And who are these acquaintances miss...?"

"As if I would tell you anything. Now, I have to be getting back to my room, so if you excuse me-" I start walking away, but he grabs my arm, tightly.

"You caused quite a show the other day." he starts in a low voice. "Now, in order for you to go, you need to tell me what you're meeting for."

I snort. "Since when have I ever told a scumbag anything? Especially your precious master." I spit the word out as if it is poison in my mouth. I don't even wait for a answer before I swing my upheld arm back, and my elbow hits his nose. I turn around, give him a good punch in the eye, then run off. As I'm turning the corner, I run into a dark-skinned man, a seventh year no doubt, that was recording the whole thing. "Do me a favor?" I ask, he nods. "Share that with everyone you can. And make sure they show everyone they can." I whisper into his ear while running my finger up and down his arm while biting my lip. I really can be a good actress. "And send it to me, will ya?" I whisper, my breath hitting his neck. He nods, and I smile. "I'll see you around 'kay?" I whisper running my finger along his lower lip. I walk off, swaying my hips for good measure. I walk to Hagrid's hut and inform him of the meeting time and place. By now, it's almost time for lunch, so I walk to the Great Hall and smile up at some of teachers who don't have classes right now. Minnie walks in and looks mildly surprised to see me. I walk over to her and ask her for something and she nods, eager to see what the reactions will be. I tranfigure a pair of heeled black boots from my shoes, and I put them on. The leather looks shiny reflecting the light from the Great Hall. I smile at Minnie, receiving a smirk from her, my grin gets bigger. I walk over to right underneath where Dum normally sits, and stand on the floor of the Great Hall. Slowly, the tables start to fill. All eyes turn to me when I clear my throat after Minn gives me a nod.

"Many of you don't know me, or if you do, you know me as the girl who showed Lucius Malfoy up." I start and at the curious looks of almost all the teachers and students, I smirk and continue. "You will know me as Maira. That is what you will refer to me as, and I know that some of you are more curious than others." There were mutters of agreement all around the hall. I clear my throat and the hall goes silent. "Thank you. Now, I will give you some information about me so you will stop spreading rumors about me." Minerva glanced worriedly at me. "I am half-blood, I love my Hufflepuffs (cheers arised from the Hufflepuff table), and I have a boyfriend who goes to another school. I am also very good at debates, so if you need a good debate, bring some friends and ask the infamous marauders to find me. Now, if they deem you smart enough to be a debate partner to me, then they are to take you to me. By the end of the month, I will deem someone to be my debating partner since my friends aren't the smartest. I also have one offer. I am in need for a dueling partner." Many people shared glances. "If you can win a duel with Snape, Regulus, Sirius, James, or Lily, then they are to take you to me. You will only have to beat one of them to be taken to me, where I will test your skills. The best of you will be my student per say. You will be worn to the bone. Physically, mentally, emotionally, and magically. You will take the same steps that I took to achieve what I have. Wow, that is a lot of talking." I smile. "Okay, now I have to go." I walked over to the Slytherin table, half of whom were still sitting in shock, the other half talking in hushed whispers about how to become trained. I walk over to where Narcissa and Regulus are sitting side-by-side. I whisper in their ear that the meeting is now and they nod. I walk to Severus and turn his head, emitting a low growl from him, then whisper in his ear, my mouth dangerously close to his ear. "Listen, I know you're not particularly fond of me, most people aren't. But you need to come to a meeting. Now." He nods and I smile. I walk up to the seventh floor as I see the boys getting bombarded by people as they are walking out of the Great Hall. I smirk as I think of how much they are going to get bombarded. Up ahead, I see Regulus walking with Narcissa. "REG!" I yell, getting his attention. He looks back and stops in his tracks. I jog up to him. "Would you please go get Lily and the boys?" I say putting on my best puppy dog face. He eventually sighs and nods. He jogs back to the Great Hall, getting weird stares from the people outside.

"He fancies you!" Narcissa squeals.

"What? Why would you say that?" I ask genuinely curious.

"I asked him to pass me the salt, an he just stared at me like I was crazy, and he was sitting one seat down from me! He wouldn't do that except for either his parents, or the girl he fancies!"

I sigh. "Let's just keep walking shall we?" She nods and we walk towards the seventh floor with a lot on our minds. We get there to see that it is still our little apartment, but the sitting room now has 17 chairs, each a beautiful sunset orange with dark blue decor on them. I walk over to the fridge from the door and grab an apple, then walked back to the chairs, which were arranged in a circle. I sat down next to Narcissa and Neville. In about five minutes, three angry marauders, an angry Lily, and an angry Regulus walk through the doors and James rushes up to me.

"What the hell was that?" he growls and grabs the collar of my shirt. Regulus didn't like that.

"Back off. She probably didn't think you would be immediately bombarded by people." Regulus defended, stepping past Sirius, who was gaping at him like a fish. James rounded on Reg. Before he could say anything he was interrupted.

"I didn't think that you would be mauled as soon as I stepped out of the hall, okay? I've had worse, trust me. I'm a girl who has more guys friends then girl friends, so if you don't think that I get mauled by all of the girls, which in our time is a lot, asking how they sleep, or who they spend their time with, ect. And I don't need any help thank you very much. But, I do want you to take this seriously, because if you bring some sissy to me, then you will suffer the consequences, right?" I say with a glare towards the ones involved in my little plan. They nod, and I sit back down, noticing that Neville and Narcissa have vacated their seats. Regulus notices this as well, as he walks up behind my chair and whispers in my ear.

"Lost your friends?" He whispers.

"Just a little. Why don't you sit down next me?" I whisper, and he seems to have an inner battle, but takes the seat on my left. "So Reg, while we're waiting for the rest of them to arrive, what do you like to do?" I ask as small talk. Small talk is not the best thing I can can do.

"I play Quiditch,-"

"Really? What position?" I ask. I've never been interested in quiditch, but I want to keep a conversation going.

"Seeker for the Slytherin team. Do you fly?" he asks. He is actually having a conversation with a girl who actually had the looks and the brains to match. He was always overshadowed by Sirius, who got all of the attention and affection from the ladies at Hogwarts. But this girl, this girl actually wanted to engage in a conversation with him. Him.

I shuddered remembering my first time on a broom. I hovered, then fell off. "Oh, no. I hate flying. Always got teased about it. Anyways, what else do you like to do?" I ask leaning closer as a sign that I was listening to what he was saying.

"I don't know." he shrugged. "I mean, I'm good at potions, but I don't normally get much attention."

I sigh. "I know, but trust me, you get the attention of me in the future, of course you also get the attention of my friend Lacey, who's always debating about who's hotter, you or Sirius. I don't even know who won most of the time. I think one of us always said that the other one was hotter just to stop the debate. We would go on for at least an hour." I smile fondly at the memories, while not noticing Regulus go a shade of red the Weasley's would be proud of. Unfortunately, he was saved by Harry and Grace coming towards them. Harry arrived first, and after a quick kiss on the cheek, he sat down a seat away. While Harry's back was turned,Grace shared a look with me, silently asking if I liked him, which I ignored in favor of talking to Regulus. "So, Reggie, what is the worst thing you have ever done?"

"Let's just say that I don't have the best track record with people. What's your biggest regret Maira?" He asks.

She contemplated the answer. "Well, hm. I don't think my tattoo is a regret-"

"You have a tattoo?" He asked. Man, this girl is full of surprises. She stuck out her left leg, and took off her boot, leaving her foot bare. She turned her foot so the ankle was clearly visible. On her ankle was, from left to right, a lion, a stag, a wolf, a dog, and a cat. She pointed at the lion. "Neville." She pointed towards the stag. "Harry" She pointed at the wolf, right on the bone in her ankle. "Me." She pointed at the dog. "my best friend Lacey, who is childish enough to be considered a dog," She tapped her finger on the cat. "And Grace. I got this tattoo around my sixth year. In the muggle world of course." "What were your friends like?" he asked.

I sigh. "Well, Grace is here, and Lacey is awesome. She wouldn't be my best friend if she wasn't. She is just so playful, and has stuck with me for as long as I can remember. through my years in muggle school, I didn't have many friends, but I had Lacey. We designed charms to keep the bullies away. We even designed a spell that would make them act like girls. It was hilarious. Too bad we only used magic once, and that was accidental. I made one of my bullies get thrown across the room, and slammed against the wall. Lacey's was that she accidentally set fire to her teachers hair when she yelled at Lacey for getting the wrong answer." By now, without even noticing, the room had gone silent after all of the guests had arrived, and everyone was listening intently to them. Suddenly Regulus went stiff. He just realized that everyone was staring at them.

"Well, let's get reading shall we?" he asked.
