Story: This not edited, not done at all! Rough Draft! This story is long for a real short story, but short for an actually chapter story. It'll be in, I think, 3 parts, if I stick to what I planned.
And, don't read it and then tell me all the errors in it. I know it is full, I just wrote, and I'm posting it so my beta can read it. Don't say I didn't warn you! That's why I say unedited.
A/N: As I said, this isn't edited, so if I suddenly switch from 3rd character to first, sorry! I'm having trouble deciding which I should do it in.
Disclaimer: yadda yadda yadda, I don't own the Marauders, Lily, Arabella or Clare. I do own however Lealia and Ensile, as well as the plot, but it is following certain guidelines.

The Trip
Lealia Kescle stepped gingerly off the plane. Pulling the scarf tightly around her head, she moved quickly, followed by her manager. Tightening her grip on her bag, she rushed through the crowds towards the exit.
'Stupid muggles.' she thought as one jostled into her, almost knocking her sprawling. Her manger, Ensile, was there in a second. Taking her bag from her, he lead the way to the black car waiting. The driver was dressed in an emerald green robe. Lealia sunk into one of the chairs. A glance at her watch told her they had less then an hour to get to King's Crossing. Taking the letter she'd received from her pocket, she glanced it over. Yup, Platform 9 and 3/4, September 1st at 11:00 am.
45 minutes later she emerged from the car. 'Great, more muggles.' she thought, surveying the heavily crowded train station. She waited as Ensile removed her trunk for the car. The driver found her a cart, and she was soon pushing her way through the crowds again.
"How do we get to Platform 9 and 3/4 again?" Lealia asked.
"There is a barrier between 9 and 10. We run through it." Ensile said after consulting his letter from Dumbledore. Professor Albus Dumbledore was the headmaster at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where Lealia was headed. Lealia Kescle was no ordinary 14 year old. Not only was she a witch, she was a famous witch movie star, and stared in both muggle (non-magical) and wizard films.
For the first time since she could remember, she was going to a normal (well, normal for witches) school with normal kids. No rich snobs (few rich snobs actually) where she would take normal classes. Lealia was going to Hogwarts to star in a movie, naturally, but the studio wanted a very natural film. So besides her, only one other character was cast before hand, the evil witch whom Lealia had to save the school from. The rest would be cast using the students and teachers of Hogwarts.
Lealia walked up to the barrier. She'd done this type of thing before, so she casually leaned inwards. Soon, she was falling out the other side. If possible, there were even more people on this side of the wall. The small platform was covered with children and parents. But this didn't bother her. These were at least somewhat like her.
Ensile came through right behind her. "You ready for this Lealia?" he asked quietly. He was her best friend in the world, since she didn't have much contact with kids her age. He was like a second father. Lealia stifled a sob and send Ensile a dazzling smile.
"Of course I am!" she said adding a tinkling sound to her voice like bells. "I can't wait to get there and start taking classes." The only school classes Lealia had ever taken was when she first started acting, after a producer found her in an orphanage. She'd leant the basics of magic along with the other kids she'd be working with.
Lealia was an orphanage, found at just 9 months old. Her parents had been killed, but Lealia didn't know any details. Luckily a wizard had found her and sensed the magic in her, or she might have been stuck into a muggle orphanage. Lealia shook here head and brushed the thought aside. No reason to dwell in the past.
Lealia gave Ensile a quick kiss on the cheek. "I'll be fine." she said, aware he was more nervous then her. Dumbledore said that if she was to be a student, she'd have to follow all the rules, and one was she must ride on the Hogwarts Express. When Ensile had asked to ride with her, Dumbledore had just laughed. Lealia headed towards the train dragging her trunk. "I'll see you when I get there!" she waved back. Ensile was going to Apparate to Hogsmead to meet Lealia.
Lealia navigated along the narrow train hallway. Making sure that her sunglasses and scarf didn't fall, she found her was into on of the back compartments. There were some other trunks in it, but at least no people yet. Lealia plopped onto the seat. She sat there and waited for the train to start.
After about 5 minutes of waiting, she heard a scream from the other end of the train. To her surprise, into the compartment ran 4 boys that looked her age. They were all laughing, and didn't notice her until the tallest one said, "Who are you?"
Lealia was surprised. Everyone knew who she was. Then she remembered the makeup job she had had done. "Hello, I'm a new exchange student to Hogwarts." she put a French accent on, knowing there was a school in France. "My name is Lealia." she said simply.
The boys looked at her weird. The tallest one smiled then. "Hello Lealia," he said slyly. "I'm Sirus Black, and this is James Potter (tall, messy black hair) Remus Lupin (shorter, brown hair) and Peter Pettigrew (short)." she made a note of them all. "Oh, Lealia, if 2 boys come into the compartment soon, could you be a dear and say we were here all along?" she suddenly knew where the scream came from.
"Certainly." Lealia said smiling. She maintained her French accent while she spoke to them. "What, how do you say, house are you in?" she asked.
The shorter boy with brown hair, Remus, answered. "We are in Gryffindor, 4th year." he said.
'Good, people from my year.' Lealia thought.
They were talking when the door to their compartment swung open. "You!" the newcomer sputtered. He was a tall, yet not so tall boy, with black hair and black eyes. But, he had green slime all over his head. Lealia tried not to laugh as he came in pointing at Sirus.
"What did you do to me?" the boy yelled. Sirus brushed him off.
"I have no clue what you are talking about." he said calmly, turning and giving Lealia a wink. "Lealia, I'd like you to meet Slimy Severus Snape." Lealia suppressed a giggle and nodded a hello to Snape.
"You, you" Snape stammered. "Look at my hair!" he pointed to the green slime.
"I don't see any difference." Peter piped up. Snape glared at him.
"Excuse me, Snape is it?" Lealia spoke up with an even heavy French accent. "But these boys have been with me in the compartment since we arrived." she gave a bright smile. Snape looked at her with narrow eyes. Then he gave Lealia a little smile and stalked out of the room.
"Lealia, that was excellent!" Sirus said excitably. He gave her a quick hug, which knocked her scarf and glasses off. She tried to place them back on quickly, but Remus saw her full face.
"Lealia, Lealia. Where is it you are from again?" he asked, a slow smile creeping to his lips. She just stared at him, knowing she was caught. Seeing her look, Remus laughed. "You aren't really an exchange student are you." She bite her lip. "You aren't even French." all the other boys were looking at her now. She slowly shook her head. "Then who are you?" There was an unmistakable twinkle in his eyes.
"Well, I never lied to you." she started slowly, in her normal voice. "My name is Lealia, and technically I am an exchange student. I'm exchanging my tutor to go to Hogwarts." she thought. "And you just thought I was French because of my accent, though changing your voice is very simple." she put the accent back on for this. Looking at them, I pulled the glasses off, and the scarf and gave my head a shake. Long, shiny black curls fell down my back. My bright violet eyes shone, and full red lips made my face look extra fair.
The boys started laughing. "Lealia Kescle." Sirus muttered. Lealia blushed a deep red in spite herself. Obviously they were fans, or at least knew her face.
Plastering a smile on her face, Lealia gave him a grin. "The one and only." she said. Just then the door swung open. She reached for her sunglasses, expecting Snape again. But instead in walked 3 girls. The first, with red hair and bright green eyes looked at me.
Stepping across the boys, she held out her hand. "Hi, I'm Lily Evans." she said. Lealia smiled and introduced herself. Expecting Lily to get excited, she was surprised when she just introduced her friends. "This is Arabella Figg and Clare Bones." They said hi to Lealia calmly.
Lily sat in the seat next to her. The other 2 found seats on the opposite walls. The boys quickly sat down as the warning whistle blew for the train. Sirus slid into the seat next to Lealia, James sat next to Lily, and Peter and Remus facing them.
Lealia kept the conversation as well off the topic of her as possible. She kept asking about them. She soon discovered that they all were in Gryffindor in the 4th year. Sirus and James played on the Quidditch team (Seeker and Chaser respectively) while Remus played Beater in fun matches. Peter was useless on the broom for anything other then going in a straight line, and Lily wasn't interested in sports. Arabella and Clare liked to watch, but didn't fly much at all. The question came to her.
"I've never been aloud on a broom, outside of in a movie once." Lealia admitted. "Ensile is too afraid I'll fall and break my neck. Though the little time I did spend in on it was fabulous." She sighed wishfully, thinking of the time she'd spent on the broom.
"Well, maybe you can fly sometime this year?" Peter squeaked. "What are you doing at Hogwarts anyway?"
Before she could come up with an answer the train pulled to a stop. Jumping up Lealia grabbed my trunk and headed out the door.
Upon exiting the train, Lealia saw Ensile watching earnestly for her. Remembering her hair, she quickly pulled it up, and put her sunglasses on. "Hey Ensile!" I said walking up to him. He gave me a quick hug.
"How was the trip?" he asked. Lealia just smiled. No reason to tell details. Glancing back she saw a bunch of the students entering carriages. She caught sight of Lily, and Lily waved at her.
Lealia turned to Ensile. "Can I take the carriages with them?" She asked. Ensile obviously didn't want her to, but Lealia gave him puppy dogs eyes. He finally caved and said yes. She quickly hurried over, and jumped into the carriage beside Lily.
"That your manager?" She asked.
"Yup," Lealia said. "He'd my manger, temporary guardian, basically my father."
Lily looked at me. "Basically?" she asked. "What about your real family."
Lealia just ignored the question. Realizing she didn't want to talk, Lily didn't push the subject.
