I can see why so many people hate the flamers! Come off it, people, I know Jennifer Lopez didn't exist when Lilly and James were around! Other people have made exception, why can't I? If you don't like it don't read it! Thank you for reminding me about Remus's middle name. I forgot about it. And thank you to the people who made NICE comments, they were appreciated.
The boys decided to stay in the cabin without any mishaps. They sat in the other corner, heads close together, scheming. About half way through the ride, the two girls started talking. They talked a lot about their homes and their schools. It was really interesting, though, because Jennifer had very few friends at her old school. Her mother had divorced her dad and now she and her dad lived with her cousins. Her dad also worked a lot and was hardly ever home. She was teased every day about anything and she was always very snappy and in a bad mood most of the time. "I guess that explains a lot about my behavior, I just grew up that way." Potter, Black and Lupin just reminded her so much of the kids back home that it was an instant reaction.
Lilly's life was much different. Both her parents were home a lot and she was very popular at school. Her fiery nature just ran in the family, her mother, great aunt, so on and so forth. Not all of them had been red heads, though, only a handful. The only annoying thing about her life was her sister, Potato Petunia. Boy, how Petunia hated it when the Lilly found out that the petunia flower was related to the potato. Petunia got back with tomato for her hair and the list goes on. Of course her other problem was running into perverted guys who are absolutely so full of themselves that it's amazing that they actually could keep a friend. *glares at Potter, Lupin and Black*
They were interrupted by another girl their age who told them that they were nearing the school. She introduced herself to the girls as Tania Coela. Jennifer suddenly stated that she could pass off for a faerie queen any time. Well, if she shrunk into a faerie size. Lilly was puzzled and asked where she got that idea. Tania explained that her name meant a faerie queen in Latin. She had straight blonde hair and periwinkle eyes, almost blue, but almost purple at the same time. She was small but still looked like royalty.
The boys left to change into their robes, and Jennifer and Lilly pulled theirs on. The train soon slowed to a stop and every one got out. Lilly wondered about the trunks, but Tania assured them that they would be taken care of and put in their dorms. The girls learned that Tania had an older brother who was in Ravenclaw, like her parents. A huge man stood over by the lake and yelled: "First years over here!" [A/N I just wanted to say that I can't do the different dialects and so Hagrid won't be any different from every one else.] The trio walked over to the edge of the lake and waited for everyone else. Facing the lake, they saw a fleet of boats come toward them. Suddenly, Lilly felt a hand at her back and before she knew it, she was flying through the air toward the lake and managed to pull herself into a swan dive before she belly flopped the water. She resurfaced and quickly pulled off her shoes and threw them to the girls waiting on the shore. She saw Potter watching with a huge grin on his face. She swam back and marched over to Potter saying, "Come on, Potter, we're going for a swim." She grabbed his wrist and flew into the water, trailing her captive behind her. She heard more splashes as the rest of Potter's gang were pushed in the water too, by Jennifer and Tania.
Soon enough, everyone near the shore was wet, but one: Tania. Black had crawled up on shore and snuck up behind her. He shoved her and she screamed, "I can't swim, Black!" Too late, she had been forced over the edge and into the icy water. Every one who had heard her gasped and suddenly, a huge tentacle reached out and pulled Tania out of the water and set her on the ground. By then, every one was out of the water and the huge man shoved his way to Tania and ordered all the first years into the boats, 4 people each. Potter, Lupin and Black walked back with their other classmates. Jennifer and Lilly stayed with Tania and the huge man. "Will she be all right?" Jennifer asked.
"I'll be fine, thank you very much," Tania croaked. She sat up and looked around. "What WAS that thing?"
"That was the giant squid. Saved your life, it did," the man said.
"Who are you?" Lilly asked. "Hagrid." He replied, helping Tania up and into the last boat. The others got on and the whole fleet of boats started moving. Hagrid pulled out three blankets and offered them to the girls. "Thanks," they muttered. After a few minutes of dark, murderous talk about some certain nuisances ("I'm going to kill Black! He knew I couldn't swim either…"), they came to the castle gates and entered the Great Hall.
Smug with the fact that they had gotten the first detentions of the year for pushing Evans, Lopess, and Coela into the lake, the boys walked over to the Gryffindor table to be bombarded with questions about the lake. The main question was why James pushed Evans in the first place.
"Because he likes her," Sirius immediately replied.
"Because she's a rude, obnoxious brat that deserved it," James said covering Sirius's mouth and gave him a look that promised trouble. Sirius smiled to himself and just went on watching the sorting.
"Do you think that our trio of devils will happen to end up in the same house as we are? Wouldn't that be fun," Remus said as the first of the girls, Coela, walked up to the sorting hat and put it on her head. The boy's worst wishes came true. The hat shouted "Gryffindor!" and over she came shooting dagger at the boys and especially at Sirius. "Didn't you know that she couldn't swim?" James asked him.
He shrugged and nodded. "I knew the giant squid would catch her. He did it last year too."
Now Evans came up to the sorting hat and put it on.
"She looks kinda pretty with her long hair, green eyes and wet robes, doesn't she, James." Sirius said slyly. James made a rude gesture and scowled as the hat yelled "Gryffindor!" She laid the hat on the stool again and walked over to Coela and stuck her tongue out at James. Remus smirked as James stuck his out at her in response.
"I'll bet you ten galleons that Lopess go to Gryffindor too," Remus said.
"I won't take you on that bet because she probably will." Sirius replied and James nodded in agreement.
The girl being betted on walked up to the hat and, like every one else, put it on. It shouted out "Raven – " but stopped and then yelled "Gryffindor!" She walked triumphantly to their table and sat next to Evans and Coela. She looked around the table and rolled her eyes as she spotted the boys. She leaned over to whisper something to the other girls and they nodded.
Dumbledore stood up and greeted the students. There were no new teachers and no major announcements, except that there were additions to the list of forbidden items of Filch's list. The boys grinned at each other and planned a trip to the caretaker's office, soon.
Okay dokay, people, this is me again. Here's the second chapter, sorry it took me so long, I had a massive writer's block. Now that I'm on a plane on my dad's laptop, I might be able to write chapter three and four, I have a very long flight across the nation, WA to PA.
Disclaimer: look at the first one. Only add Tania to me.
