#Chapter 11 – The Exchange Student

A/N- Okay so in my last chapter I used One Direction and Titanic. I know for a fact that Niall Liam Louis Harry and Zayn weren't born at that time so One Direction didn't exist and I think neither did Titanic but I don't have the time or patience to check out movies or songs from the late seventies. Anyway thanks to all my readers. Please leave a review. This chapter probably won't have much Jily because I have focused too much on them in my ten previous chapters. Xx

Guest- I just saw your review. I hope that this doesn't impact too much on your opinion of the story. You see I'm a Directioner and I really wanted to include some 1D in my fic

(James POV)

"How was the date?" Remus asked me excitedly.

"Did you kiss?" Sirius asked

"I hope you behaved yourself." Remus said

"Did you kiss?" Sirius asked again. I tried to answer both of them but they just wouldn't shut up.

"I CAN ONLY REPLY IF YOU SHUT THE HELL UP!" I yelled.

"Okay, Prongs calm down and tell us everything." Remus said.

"Did you K-I-S-S?" Sirius asked frustrated.

"Yes to all." I said exasperatedly "The date was amazing, yes we kissed, yes I behaved myself, yes we kissed and yes we kissed. You've asked me thrice thus I had to reply thrice." I said.

"How many times did you kiss?" Sirius asked me excitedly.

"Just the once." I replied.

"B-O-R-I-N-G! Was it long?" he asked me.

"No. Padfoot when is a first kiss long?" I asked irritably.

"When I kiss a girl for the first time it is always long!" he replied indignantly.

"Remus, get him to shut up, please." I pleaded.

"Sirius shut up. James what did you guys do. I don't need to know what you talked about, just what you did."

"Yay, someone is finally interested. Well, first we went to Honeydukes, then to The Three Broomsticks and then I showed her my special place." I told them.

"Your special place?" Sirius waggled his eyebrows.

"SICK!" I yelled. "I MEANT MY GARDEN! THE GARDEN WE DISCOVERED IN SECOND YEAR."

"Oh, I forgot about that." Sirius and Remus said.

"Well, you aren't nature lovers, are you?"

"No." They admitted.

"So is that where you go when you disappear off the map?" Remus asked.

"Yes." I replied quietly.

"Why didn't you tell us to put it on the map?" Sirius asked me.

"So that you gits couldn't find me when I needed some time and space."

"Translation: When I need time to mope about Lily's rejection." Sirius said and Moony smacked him.

"Sirius, shut up." I said. He had finally touched a nerve. I got into bed and fiercely shut the hangings.

"Is he angry?" I heard Sirius wonder stupidly.

"Yes you git." I heard Remus' muffled voice and concluded that he too had gone to bed.

I stripped and lay down as I relived our date. Our kiss. Her laugher. Everything about her. I fell asleep thinking about Lily.

-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-

"You might want to wake up." I heard a voice in my ear.

I just turned towards the source of the voice and continued sleeping. I felt someone running their hands through my hair. "Lily?" I asked sleepily.

"Of course, you'd want it to be Lily but sorry to disappoint you, it's me, Kyla."

I sat bolt upright and the covers fell off me revealing my chest. I made no effort to cover myself up. "KYLA BEAR!" I yelled and hugged the girl sitting next to me. She hugged me back tightly "James I've told you, do not call me Kyla Bear, it's highly embarrassing." She whispered.

I laughed. "How are you? I missed you. How's your knee?"

"I'm good, James. I missed you too. And my knee, well." She lifted up her right leg and showed me her knee where a nasty scarlet scar was visible. I gently caressed it and she winced.

"Does that hurt? I'm so sorry Kyla. This is all my fault" I whispered and softly kissed her forehead. Kyla and I had been riding my broom (not that broom, perverts), and she had fallen off and broken her knee and arm. Her arm hand been mended by a Healer in about a minute but there was some problem with her knee and it had to be shown to a Doctor and she had to wear a cast for ages and she came out of the hospital just this week.

"Don't be silly. How are you?" Kyla asked me. Wait, who is Kyla? Kyla is my 10 year old sister and she is the best sister ever. She'll be starting at Hogwarts next year. I am so excited.

"I'm great! Do you know Lily and I went on a date yesterday and-"

At that moment Sirius burst in and "KYLA BEAR! HOW IS MY BEAUTIFUL GIRLFRIEND? I'VE MISSED YOU! I BEAT JAMES UP FOR DROPPING YOU OFF THAT BROOM."

Sirius always called Kyla his girlfriend. If there wasn't a six year gap in their ages I probably would have to protect Kyla from my nutter of a best mate. Kyla was extremely beautiful after all.

Kyla sighed. She got off my bed and said dangerously "I am not Kyla Bear." Then her face split into a wide grin and she said "I am good. How are you, boyfriend? I missed you too. And you are so not allowed to beat my brother. Only I can do that." She hugged Sirius tightly.

"Um, listen mate, about last night-" Sirius began.

"Nah, don't sweat it. You're an idiot. A big one and we all know." I grinned. I was so happy that Kyla was here.

"Kyla loves me, don't you babe?"

"Yes, sure. I love you so much." Kyla said in a mock gushy voice. She kissed his cheek to complete the act.

"I'd tell you to get a room but Kyla's too young so get out Sirius."

I got out of bed and got into the shower. "Kyla, I'll just be back."

"Sure, James."

I quickly showered, got dressed and came out. "Come on, Kyla. Today's Sunday we're free. I'll show you around."

"You were telling me about yours and Lily's date." Kyla said quickly.

"Well I was telling you that we went to Honeydukes, The Three Broomsticks and a very secret place and we kissed."

"YOU WHAT?" Kyla yelled.

"Shush... keep it low. We kissed." I said again.

"OH MERLIN! PADFOOT OWES ME A HUNDRED GALLEONS!" Kyla exclaimed.

"Why?"

"He bet that Lily wouldn't kiss you until seventh year!" Kyla told me excitedly.

"Oh come on. We have to get you your 100 galleons." I said evilly and started to walk but Kyla held me back.

"Uh, uh, uh." She shook her head. "First I want to meet Christmas stick."

"What?"

"Lily!"

"Why did you call her Christmas stick?"

"Because she has green eyes and red hair. Christmas colors." Kyla shrugged.

"Hah! Say that in front of her and her hair won't be the only red thing. Her cheeks and your cheek will be red too. She slaps really hard." I laughed.

"Oh I need to meet her. Please, please, please..."

"Okay, calm down. Come let's go meet my little Christmas angel." I said.

"Hey, but you said I was an angel."

"No, you're my little Princess." I whispered in her ear and kissed her cheek softly.

Kyla smiled. We walked out of the dorm and she got many stares as we passed. Kyla didn't look small and so it wasn't only first, second and third years who were ogling her. She's 5 feet. I know it's unnaturally tall for a ten year old but I have no idea how that happened.

We walked down to the Great Hall and I saw Lily and pointed her out. We walked towards her and I slid in the seat next to her while Kyla sat beside me. I kissed Lily's cheek and she blushed.

"I was just going to wake you up, when Sirius told me that you were in the shower." She told me.

"Why would you disturb me in my sleep?" I asked.

"Um, maybe because it's lunch time?" Lily said and Kyla laughed. "Hi, are you a new exchange student?" she asked politely and I laughed making my food getting stuck in my throat. I started coughing violently and Lily thumped my back. Kyla was rolling in tears of laughter

"Exchange student. Best one yet, huh James?" she asked wiping her tears.

"Yes, yes I agree." I laughed now that I had finally stopped coughing.

"What's the joke?" Lily asked.

"Oh I'm sorry, Lil." I said calming down. "This is Kyla. My-" I burst out laughing all over again.

"His...ten...year...old...sister." Kyla managed between gasps of laughter.

"What? Ten years old? But you're really tall! I thought you were a short seventh year!"

"Sorry, Lily. That's what the guys in the common room thought." Kyla said and she and I burst into laughter again.

"They're mad." Marlene said.

Kyla calmed down. "Hi Marlene. Sorry I didn't see you." She said.

"Hi, Kyla. How's your knee?" Marlene smiled.

"It's getting better, thanks."

"So, how come you're here all alone?" I asked her.

"Well, I was really missing you, so I begged Mom to let me come and meet you and surprisingly she agreed."

"Well it is surprising that Dorea actually agreed." Sirius said coming in and sitting next to Kyla.

"Lily, have you finished eating?" Kyla asked.

"Yes, why?" Lily replied.

"I want to talk to you in private. Can we take a walk?"

"Okay."

A/N- Okay that's it. I really enjoyed writing this chapter. Well there wasn't Jily action as such but I already love Kyla. I typed out the whole chapter in like an hour. First I was going to make that girl on James bed, Lily but then I decided to add a little OC. I know Kyla's height is extremely unrealistic but she's really fun to write. First I was going to switch to 3rd person POV and include the conversation but then I realised that it would be too long and I am dying to hear your opinions about Kyla. Would you like to hear more from her in the following chapters? And what do you think about Kyla/Sirius? I am confused between Blackinnon and Kyrius (yes I have named Kyla/Sirius Kyriuis). Yeah big age gap but it could be like Ronks. Tell me okay. Please review and feel free to PM me.
