For Charms, Sirius and Nicole joined the others and they passed notes to each other. All in all, all the Marauders knew about Sophie and everything. Everything changed two weeks later. That day at lunch Nicole said "As a friend once told me, 'that was then, this is now.'" James dropped his sandwich and stared at her and said "huh?" and the others had other idiotic expressions on their faces. She laughed and said "You should see your faces! Anyways, that was a quote from a book, That Was Then, This Is Now. It's awfully good." James shook his head and said "You just get weirder and weirder." Nicole stuck her tongue out at him.

"Ooooh. *Real mature*" James said. Nicole just rolled her eyes and said "Don't get me started. We haven't been in trouble lately. Any ideas?" the others leaned in and started shooting off their ideas but shut up when Dumbledore came running up. He motioned to Nicole to follow him and she did so. The boys looked at each other and followed them after a minute.

"Ms. Williams, I'm afraid I have some bad news for you. Your sister-Sophie she was found nearly dead by your neighbor. Dumbledore said. Nicole gasped and went pale. "Where is she? If she's with that bastard-I'm gonna get her outta there!" she said in a strange voice. Dumbledore said "Not to worry, she is in the hospital wing. She'll be fine soon." Nicole nodded and ran off to the hospital wing and the boys followed her. She reached the hospital wing and looked around. She saw Sophie and ran over to her and hugged her. "Sophie! How are you? My god, I'm so sorry!" and started to cry. Sirius came up behind her and said "So this is Sophie. Hi kid." He turned to Nicole and comforted her. Sophie said "Nicole, stop crying! I'm fine!" Nicole grinned and gave her a hug and introduced her to the other Marauders. Nicole picked up Sophie and held her at her hip. She looked her in the eye and said "Let's find Professor Dumbledore to make sure you can stay and where you should stay.

They met up with Dumbledore and Sophie got a couple rooms down the hall from the Gryffindor common rooms. They changed ir to pink, Sophie's favorite color. It was agreed that Sophie could attend classes with Nicole as long as the teachers agreed and Sophie stayed quiet and didn't distract anyone. They went to Potions and Sophie met Malfoy and Snape. It wasn't a good thing.
