It pure genius, not that I'm a genius or anything. Enough blabbing! On with
the story!
Phoenix Tears
Chapter 4
Three beds lined each wall. Half the room was decorated in blues and greens, the other half was purples and pinks. Pink and purple were definately not her favorite colors. But the green and blue side was neat and clean, muggle and wizard posters alike covered the walls and a picture of a Harry look-alike sat on the nightstand beside the bed, along with other pics of the marauders and different people she didn't know.
The pink and purple side wasn't so neat. Dirty clothes were piled in a corner, posters of boys without their shirts on hung on the wall and magazines littered the floor. A very pretty girl with blond hair and blue eyes laid on the bed reading a fashion magazine.
When Hermione entered the room with rosy cheeks and a goofy grin on her face, the girl looked up, disgust written clearly on her features. She pointed to the plain white area near the open window.
"There's your side of the room. Don't come on my side and if you want to borrow something like makeup, clothes, fashion spells, the works, don't ask me. 'Cuz darlin', I won't help you." She said all this in a fast smooth voice with all the confidence of a girl who knows she's beautiful. " You can ask Lily. Though she's so ugly she won't be able to help you unless you want to look like a hag." She sneered, contorting her gorgeous face into the likes of a demon.
Hermione couldn't help wondering if this girl happened to be part Veela.
"Cheery place. Stupid bimbo." She said under her breath. The girl looked at her suspiciously as if she knew that Hermione had said something about her, but she flicked her long fair locks over her shoulder with a sniff of didain and returned to her magazine.
Hermione knew for a fact that this girl just had to be jealous of Harry's mother because from what she'd seen of his photographs, Lily Evans Potter was very pretty.
Her trunk sat at the end of her bed which looked inviting after her exhausting journey through time. She yawned and layed on the bed, planning to take just a little nap before she unpacked and explored her new home. But when she next opened her eyes it was to find herself staring up into a large pair of emerald eyes.
"Harry? You're not supposed to be in here, you know." She mumbled groggily and stretched her arms high over her head.
Someone laughed. Hermione turned around and gasped. She'd forgotton where she was.
"It's about time you woke up." The girl she knew to be Lily Evans said exasperatly. "You sleep like a rock. I'm Lily Evans by the way." She held out her hand sleepily.
"Her-Lacey Harper."
"Well I came to tell you that you're late for breakfast." She griined. "I slept in the Common Room last night, and this morning, a handsome brunette asked me to wake up the 'stunning' new girl." She said lifting her eyebrows suggestfully.
Hermione blushed.
"You like him don't you?" She laughed gleefully, clapping her hands. "Good now all the Marauders minus one have girlfriends."
Her eyes bulged. That is not what she needed to hear.
"Wait! What? I'm not his girlfriend, I can't be his girlfriend."
Sure it pleased her but she couldn't. Nope, no way, absolutley not, she couldn't go out with a Marauder. Especialy since right that second in history, she wasn't even born yet.
Lily frowned, "Why not? You like him, he like you. Lots of girls are dyig to be Sirius Black's girlfriend but he picked you."
Hermione did a double take. Sirius Black? Remus had a girlfriend? Then why'd he hit on her? "Sirius likes me? What about Remus?"
"Remus? What about him?" She asked a confused frown on her face. Then her eyes widened as it finally donned on her.
"You like Remus?" She said increduously.
I groaned and fell back on the bed. Lily pulled me back up. She was strong for being so small. "Is that bad?" She didn't say anything, just stared out the window at the early morning sun pouring through.
"No it's not bad. It's just he has a hard time trusting people. And he won't date anyone, though it's not for lack of interest. The girls just fawn over him, he says it's all the mystery about his background."
Hermione knew all too well, what the mystery was.
She smiled and stood up, grabbing her school robe that draped over her chair.
As they were leaving the room she asked, "Peter has a girlfriend?"
Lily laughed. "Unbelievable isn't it?" She nodded.
"The girl's a third year hufflepuff and extremely ugly."
"Craddle-robbing hags these days? I'm not so sure I'll like the guys around here."
Lily laughed again and said, "Oh how little you know." They reached the bottom of the stairs where the guys all waited. Lily leaned in and whispered, "Just wait untill you see Quidditch practice. Oo-hoo!" She fanned herself.
Hrmione blushed and smiled.
"Lacey! Oh dear gorgeous queen of my morning sunburn." Sirius jumped off the couch to land at her feet.
"Sunrise, you dolt, sunrise." Lily said. She ran up and hugged a black haired boy. He would have been Harry's twin if it hadn't been that he had brown eyes, not green.
"Whatever! Sunrise." He turned to Hermione and grinned. "Want to sit with me at breakfast?"
Hermione nodded and followed him down to the great hall.
"So, Hermione, who's Harry?"
"Excuse me?"
"This morning, you called me, Harry."
What was she supposed to say? "Er, um... he's my, uh, younger brother. I gues I kind of forgot I was here."
"I have one of those." Remus said. "Green scales, about eight horns growing out of it's skull and mush for brains, am I right?"
"Right on. He's a real pain in the morning." She lied. She got out her schedual only to have it snatched by Sirius.
"Aww! We only have one class together."
"Really, what's that?"
"Defense against the Dark Arts in the ampitheater on the third floor. All seventh years have the same class." Lily said and took the scedual from Sirius.
"We practically have the same scedual, except I don't have Herbology. Remus does though. In fact..." She grinned evily. "You and Remus have the exact same classes."
Hermione choked on the piece of sausage she was eating. Someone thumped her on the back smartly and the chunk flew from her mouth, only to land in James's orange juice.
"Eew!" He said and riped orange juice off his glasses.
Sirius fell on the floor laughing.
Hermione's hands covered her mouth in shock. "I am so sorry!"
A spoon full of eggs landed in her hair.
She gasped. "Why you little..." She picked up her pancake and tossed it at his face and laughed at his expression as it slid off his nose, leaving a trail of syrup.
"Food fight!" Someone yelled down the table.
In no time at all, the whole hall was filled with noise as students stood and flung food at their friends and enemies across the room.
Hermione didn't move, she'd seen food fights before but never this big and never had she started one before. It was a new experiance for her. One that she was sure she wouldn't repeat ever again. (A/N: What'd you expect, this is Hermione. I've already abused her character enough.)
"Student's please!" Professor Flitwick squeaked. He hid his head behind a book to dodge the food from a few daring people. Hermione noticed that Professor Dumbledore was seated in his chair watching the going ons with a bright twinkle in his eye.
"Shut up!" Said an angry amplified voice. Instantly the people standing up, sat down. All students looked uncomfortable under the scrutiny of Professor McGonnagle.
"This behavior is astonishing. Never in my life have I seen such utter disrespect and disreguard for the rules." The air around her seemed to crackle with the intensity of her anger. Hermione couldn't help feeling relieved that in the years to come, she would cool down though not by much.
"I want the culprits to step forward right now." No one moved and in less than a few moments, McGonnagle had seemingly been able to stare every single person in the hall in the eyes. When her gaze reached Hermione, it paused and passed right on to the next person.
"I highly doubt that this started by itself." Still no one stepped forward.
"As you all probably know, there's a Hogsmeade weekend coming up, so unless you step forward, consider it cancelled."
Hermione sighed and made to step forward but was held back by someone's hand.
"Don't move." Remus whispered.
"But..."
"Trust me."
A few feet away, she noticed James motion for her to stay still before Sirius and him stepped forth.
"Ah, Black and Potter. Why am I not surprised?"
"Maybe you've developed an extraordinary psychic ability?" Sirius asked innocently. The hall rumbled with laughter.
McGonnagle sniffed disdainfully. "Come with me." The boys followed her with identical grins on their faces.
The hall was silent long after the boys were taken away.
Dumbleodre raised his arm, commanding attention. "Well, I don't think she'll be going easy on them. My heart goes out to them." There were a few skattered giggles.
"Given that yes, they did break a rule, I believe that all of you should be thanking them. Because you too broke the rules by joining in on it, and thus should all be punished accordingly. And if I do say so myself, I truly enjoyed this mornings unexpected activities." The last statement helped relieve the tension of his reproach.
He looked at his watch and said, "I believe you are all late for your first class. Run along now."
The hall erupted his noise as people gathered their things and left with their friends for class.
Hermion turned to Remus, "Why'd you do that?" She asked.
"I was saving you from making a mistake that would cost you your freedom for the year."
"But what about them?"
"Sirius and James already have enough detentions to last them for months out of school."
"Right, I should have guessed." She really should have. Sirius was always bragging about how many times he'd been in troulble and hadn't gotten expelled. She'd just never taken him seriously.
"Well, good sir, shall we go to class?" She asked.
He grinned and held out his arm, "By all means, fair lady, lets go dig in the dirt."

Do you like it? Review.
I'm sort of suffering form writers block and could use some ideas of what should happen in the middle of the story.
Also, I'm posting a Lily/James fic in a couple of days, maybe tommorow, so watch for it and read it.
*Promise to be Bad
With the help of a letter she finds from her dead twin brother, Lily decides to change her ways and do everything she ever wanted to do but never dared. *
(Petunia and her actually get along.)
My other new fic is called, The problem with Harry
It's about Harry liking a girl that his friends all hate and won't help him with, so he asks Ginny to help him gain the girl's affections. Kind of cute.
The more you review, the faster the next chapter will be out.
