(A/n- I'm back,
back in the world of Harry Potter fan-fiction. I've been in the X-men world for
quite a while. So now I'm going to write another MWPP, well not that much W in
it of course. This story probably won't have any of my characters in it, or maybe
it will; I haven't decided yet. All I know is that it has almost nothing to do
with my other stories, maybe just a little. Oh yeah, I'm making this take place
in the late 90's…why? Because it's easier to write and it fits my plot more.
One more thing, this is going to be in Sirius's POV, because it's something
I've tried to do before and have never achieved. No matter how hard I try I can
never write properly in a boy's POV. It's just impossible for me. I've tried
before and all of the products of the trying have either been ripped up and
burned or deleted and erased. And Sirius is always really hard for me because
of my friend Josh. I always want to base how I write Sirius on how Josh acts.
To put things simply, Josh is a major pervert, but he and Sirius still have a
lot of the same qualities, and so when ever I try to write Sirius he turns into
a pervert! Arg! Some times I just feel like making Sirius a pervert just to get
it over with. Arg again! And then when I try to write James he turns into my
other friend Francisco, who's a violent maniac, but again other than that
they've got a lot of the same qualities. And for the life of me I can't write
Remus. It's just impossible! So since I don't want to write about Peter and
I've already done Lily that narrowed it down to James and Sirius. Well
Francisco would probably kill me if I based James off of him, so I picked
Sirius, because Josh has never picked up a Harry Potter book in his life and
won't care one way or another.
So yeah here I am,
back again, and trust me the transition from X-men to Harry Potter is not easy.
I've just gotta keep telling my self that Dumbledore is not Professor X, Sirius
is not Gambit, Lily is not Jean Grey, Peter is not the Blob (well maybe he is),
Remus is not Nightcrawler, James is not Cyclops…)
I absolutely hate
being blamed for things that I don't do. It just seems to defeat the purpose of
even getting in to trouble for that things that you did do. And this is why
James, Remus and I were sitting in my bedroom planning revenge on my sister and
her friend. They'd told my mum that we'd been the ones who'd broken the kitchen
windows when it had really be them. Now we were all in trouble.
"I say we should
put bugs in her jewelry box." Said James grinning.
"That's old, we
need something new." I said. "Remus, you have any ideas?"
Remus shrugged
looking out the window. "Hey look who's out there."
"Who?" I got up
and walked over to the window.
"It's that girl,
the one who won't talk to us." James joined us.
"I think her
name's Sara, or something like that. She lives behind here right Sirius?"
"Yeah, but she's a
snob ignore her, I thought we were doing something." I looked at my two friends
who were still staring out of the window.
"I wonder what her
deal is. I mean she doesn't even say hello when we pass." Said James.
"Must be home
problems." Remus mused. "I know she has a brother. He's 9 a year younger than
us. And lets see, she moved here from the US about ten months ago. That's all I
can tell you."
The girl now was
sitting on a log in a patch of flowers. It wasn't quite clear what she was
doing.
"Is she a witch?"
I asked.
"Yeah, I guess
she'll be going to Hogwarts." Answered James. "Probably a Slytherin… oh wait
here comes your sister with her friends."
My sister was
walking right under my bedroom window. The opportunity was to good to pass up.
"Get me some bugs
and a bucket of water fast." I ordered.
James went over to
my desk and got my bug collection, which was pretty big. I got a big bucket,
and Remus filled it with water.
"Your death is not
in vain." I said, poring the jar of bugs into the bucket of water.
"Help me lift it."
Said Remus.
James and I helped
lift it onto the edge. We aimed it, and poured. The contents of the bucket fell
two stories before hitting my sister square in the head, as a bonus it splashed
all of her friends too, covering them in an assortment of bugs. They looked up
and if looks could kill we'd have been dead and buried.
"You are so dead
Sirius!" she screamed up.
"I'll believe it
when I feel it Andy." I called laughing.
Remus looked at
me. "You know we'd better run, and run fast."
"Agreed." I bolted
to the door.
We ran down the
servant's staircase that lead into the kitchen. My mum was sitting with James's
mum, they looked at us queerly.
"I just heard a
scream." Mum said. "Is everything alright?"
"Sure, fine." Said
James quickly. "We'll be at our place."
Andy was on the
other side of the house searching for us. I saw the girl from the other house
coming near.
"It's her." I
nudged James.
"Maybe she'll
finally talk." I said.
Remus said nothing
but looked at her in great interest. "Saraan, her name's Saraan. I've seen her
at the hospital."
Remus went to the
hospital once every month, twice sometimes. He'd never told James and I why.
We'd assumed that he just had some weird illness, but a lot of times common
sense told me that it was more than that.
Saraan looked up
at us. She was holding a small bouquet of wild flowers. She dropped them when
she saw us staring at her so intently.
"Sorry about
that." James offered an apology.
She seemed to nod
a response.
"You need help?"
Remus asked.
"I'm fine." She
said, speaking the first words she'd ever spoken to us. She didn't sound happy.
"I'll see you in a few weeks Remus." She picked up the last flower and turned
around going back to her property.
"You know her
personally?" I asked Remus.
"I don't know
really." He sounded just as confused as I was. "I-I really don't want to talk
about it. Let's just go before Andy finds us."
~
(A/n- ok, I'm not
sure if I'm so totally impressed with it. I do have to admit though, out of all
my tries to write Sirius this has been the best. He's not too pervertish and
he's not incredibly silly or demented (sorry Josh but, you have to admit, you
are a sex crazed maniac) any way, now comes the challenge, trying to develop a
full plot. I already have an idea. I'm gonna reuse my characters but in
different ways, as you can see Saraan's a bit different already, and don't
worry this story will end up at Hogwarts. This is really hard, but I just gotta
keep my chin up and keep repeating: Dumbledore is not Professor X…)
~
My birthday was on
August 3rd. I was the youngest of all of us, but I looked the
oldest. James had had his birthday back in May, and Remus's was in June. They'd
both gotten acceptance letters to Hogwarts. James was going, Remus wasn't sure.
He claimed that he might be going to a smaller school in the States.
On the morning of
my birthday I was the first one up. I sat in the kitchen for two hours waiting
for the mail owl to arrive. While I was waiting I fixed my self some breakfast.
Toast and orange juice. The owl flew into my toast. I eagerly pulled the
letters off its leg.
"Bills." I
muttered, tossing them aside. "Solicitations, pamphlets, more bills, perfume
samples, free books… keep that. Bingo!"
I grabbed a piece
of parchment marked with the telltale Hogwarts seal. It broke as I pulled it
open. Smoothing it out I read it over and over.
Dear Mr. Sirius
Black,
We are pleased to
inform you that you have been accepted to Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and
Wizardry . Enclosed is a list of supplies you will need for your first
year. There is also a ticket for the Hogwarts Express that leaves from Platform
9 ¾ at 11:00 am, on September 1st at Kings Cross Station, please
send a reply no later than August 27th.
Minerva
McGonagall-
Deputy
Headmistress
"Mum, dad," I
yelled up the stairs. "It's here!"
There was no
initial response, so I yelled up again.
"Sirius Polaris
Black." I heard Andy's voice. "Shut up and go back to bed! It's 6:00 in the
morning."
I walked up the
stairs and into her room. she was lying on her stomach with a pillow over her
face. I jumped up onto her bed.
"Andy, it's here."
I shouted in her ear.
"You little maggot
go back to bed!" she growled.
"I'm to awake
now." I countered. "You get up."
"Sirius I swear."
I saw her hand coming out from under the covers. She reached for her wand that
lay on her bed stand.
"You're not
allowed to do magic over the holidays." I stuck my tongue out even though I
knew she couldn't see it.
"I don't give a
damn." She said. "Now get off of me, you're breaking my back."
I rolled off her
bed and onto the floor. The bed covers moved, and Andy got out of bed.
"Go away." She
glared at me. "I still haven't forgiven you for the bug incident."
"Sure I'm going to
go wake up mom and dad."
"They're wearing
earplugs." Andy shook out her hair. "They figured on this. They probably have
some noise deflecting spells up too."
~
"So you're going?"
asked James happily.
"Of course." I
rolled my eyes. "Where else would I go? Durmstrangs? Home of the dark arts. Or
maybe Beuxbatons? Home of the prisses and snobs."
"Point taken."
James nodded.
"I wonder if
Saraan's gotten hers yet." Wondered Remus.
"You've got an
absolute fixation with her." I said. "do you like her or something? we can't
girls get in the way of our work you know."
"I don't like her.
I just think I know her from somewhere, and obviously she knows me. It's kind
of weird." He said.
As if on cue
Saraan walked down her back walk towards us.
"I think she's got
a fixation on us." I muttered. "why's she coming here? She's only talked to us
once."
She kept coming to
us. She was again holding a bunch of flowers, with a flowered sundress to
match..
"Hello." She said
finally reaching us.
"Hi." We said together.
There was an
awkward silence, until I noticed Saraan looking intently at Remus.
"Do you know him?"
I asked pointedly.
"I've seen him
around. After all there aren't…" she stopped biting her lip. "Anyway my mom and
dad said I should see what goes down around here, you know what there is to do.
Well you guys are about the only ones my age around here, so I figured maybe I
could hang out with you guys."
"Do you mind
getting into trouble?" asked James.
"No." she sighed.
"It seems to follow me around anyway."
"How so?" I sensed
around her the same thing that I always sensed around Remus when he got ready
for his monthly trip to the hospital.
"It, just does. In
a lot of forms." It sounded like she was warning us.
"Well then,
welcome aboard." Remus shook her hand. The way she looked at Remus was weird.
It was like she was trying to tell him something. Remus looked as if he was
trying t figure out where exactly he'd seen her before.
"So what do you guys do for
fun?" she said breaking her glance away from Remus.
"We," I said
importantly. "play jokes."
"Childs play."
Saraan laughed. "I play pranks."
"There's a
difference?" James asked dubiously.
"With pranks you
get into more trouble, and have more fun." She explained. "they also make a
bigger spectacle than jokes."
We nodded slowly.
"I can teach you
everything you'll ever need to know." she said.
"we already know
everything." Said Remus. "we're the kings."
"Meet the queen."
Saraan smiled evilly.

(A/n- I repeat,
this is very hard! Sirius is so hard to write, even though he now lives inside
my head.
Sirius: I can't
believe you wanted to make me a pervert!
Me: sorry! I'm a
girl you're a boy. It's hard to write the opposite sex. And almost all the boys
I know are pervs!
Sirius: well the
boys you know are stupid, *sticks out tongue*
Me: Hey! *glares*
leave my head!
Sirius: Can't,
you've got one of the best candy supplies in the world. *pulls out authors
favorite flavor of cough drops*
Me: Noooo! Put
those back! They are not for you! Those are for me, so I can write.
Sirius: to bad
*puts one in his mouth*
Me: Eat one more
and, and *tries to think of suitable punishment*
Sirius: hehe
Me: *friend
whispers idea in my ear* Ha! eat another one and I'll rip of your balls!
Sirius: *grins*
yeah and I bet you'd enjoy it too!
Me: Shut up
already!
~
Saraan stuck with
us for the remainder of the summer, she also came with us to Diagon Ally, then
off to Kings Cross Station. Her parents couldn't come see her off for what
Saraan had said to be "job reasons".
"So where do you
want to sit?" I asked every one.
"Does it matter?"
Remus shrugged.
"Of course it
does." I said. "If we stake claim now, from this year on we'll be able to kick
people out."
"Right Sirius."
Said James slowly. "You just keep on thinking that."
"How about here."
Saraan pointed to the first compartment on the right side of the train.
I turned the knob
on the wooden door and stepped back to let it swing open.
"Can't you knock?"
asked an annoyed female voice.
We looked in.
there were three girls sitting together. One had light red hair and deep green
eyes, the other one had dirty blonde hair and an annoyed smile. The third black
hair with a hint of green in it, she too wore an annoyed smile.
"Well?" asked the
girl with the red hair.
"Sorry, 'bout
that." Said Saraan. "We'll go if…"
"No, no." the girl
with the black hair said in a hurried way. "we didn't mean that. It's just
there was a nasty band of boys in here before. They tried to rough us up a
little."
"Oh. We
understand." Said James. "Can we sit down?"
"Sure." The blond
spoke. "what're your names?"
"That's Saraan,
Remus, James, and I'm Sirius." I introduced us.
"Ok, we're Leslie,
Lillian, and Maxine. Aka, Less, Lily, and Maxis" she smiled.
Lily had the red
hair, Less the dirty blonde and Maxis the black and green. They all looked at
us expectantly.
"Well come in and
sit down if you will. The trains about to start." Said Maxis.
We sat and the
train jolted, pulling out of the station.
"So'd you guys no
each other before now?" asked Less.
"we all live in
the same area, and we've been friends since we were babies." I answered.
"Basically the
same with us." Lily said. "are any of you muggle born?"
"I am, but James's
parents raised me." said Remus
"We're both muggle
born." Less pointed to herself and Lily. "Maxis' parents are both magical."
"So what house do
you want to be in?" asked James.
"Gryffindor." Was
the unanimous response from around the compartment.
"Make any
trouble?" I asked.
"What sort?" asked
Maxis.
"Any sort." Said
Remus.
"A bit." She
looked upward thinking. "I think the worst Less and I have done purposely would
be singeing her brothers hair off. He was bald for weeks before he even grew
peach fuzz!"
"James, write that
one down." Said Saraan grinning.
"And what's the
worst you've done?" Lily asked.
"Enchanted the
kitchen stove so it burnt everything." James shuddered in the memory. "That one
sort of backfired on us though, remember Remus?"
"We had to eat at
Sirius's house for two weeks, because James's parents couldn't get the curse
off of it." Remus looked at me. "Funny Sirius, I remember that prank being your
idea too!"
Maxis, Less, and
Lily giggled. "I hope you guys don't find the kitchens." Less said laughing.
Just them we were interrupted
by the door to the compartment opening. I kind looking witch stood in the corridor
with a cart filled with candy.
"Candy any…"
before she had a chance to finish Maxis was on her like bears to honey.
"She has a
weakness for candy." Less whispered to the rest of us. Sure enough when Maxis
stepped away her arms were filled with enough sweets to last 'till Christmas.
"How many cavities
do you have?" I asked sarcastically.
"none, never had,
never will." She answered shrugging, while the rest of us bought our candy.
Soon we were all munching on candy happily, and telling stories of past pranks
pulled.
(A/n- well that's the
end of part one. Please tell me if you think I should finish it, or if it's
awful and I should delete it from my memory.)
