A/N: sorry this is so short I probably should have included it with the first chapter but I'll put up the sorting soon. Please review.

Lily leaned her head against the window and watched the country side fly by. She'd given up on reading her book. It was too hard to concentrate with her cabin mates barking about something called Quidditch.

Remus looked like he was a bit tired of it as well. "So is he magic at all?" he pointed at her cat.

"Pendragon?" she asked, glad to have something to talk about that she could understand, "I don't think so. I've had him for a long time. But the letter just said a cat so I didn't think he had to be magical."

"Pendragon, eh?" James broke in, "That's something to do with Merlin isn't it?"

She held up her copy of Sir. Malory's Arthur legends, "It's one of my favorites."

"A bookworm," said Sirius shaking his head.

"Well I do like books," Lily shrugged.

"Nothin' wrong with that," Remus defended her.

"'cept if your nose is in a book all the time you're not out havin' any fun." James grinned.

Lily felt a surge of courage, "I don't believe I want to know what you call fun." She felt her face get hot and hid behind her book once again.

James, Sirius, and Peter were all laughing at her.

She wished she'd kept her mouth shut.



A/N: for those of you who have read Redheads (you should if you haven't already) you'll notice that the book is the one Molly bought at flourish and blots the day she broke up with Arthur.
