Chapter 3
After showing Rayna the Quidditch field, the secret way to get to the kitchen through the picture of fruit, and other very important things at Hogwarts, Remus decided to go to the dormitories to introduce Rayna to his friends.
"...and this is the Gryffindor common room. My friends and I usually linger here after classes and do our homework together or talk or play chess or something. It really depends on our mood," Remus went on as they entered the common room. Rayna looked around a bit at the people that were in there already. They looked back at her and began to whisper the normal 'who's that girl?' stuff that always happens when there is a new girl around. "Up the staircase here are the dormitories. My friends are probably in the boys dormitory. The girls don't usually like us in there for, umm.... reasons... Come on."
"Is there anything I should be warned of before-hand before I meet them?" Rayna asked with a playful smile. Remus couldn't help but laugh.
"Well, James and Lily could be snogging. They do that A LOT or maybe Sirius and James could be planning a new prank on the Slytherins but Sirius could also be waxing his Quidditch broom. He does that a lot. If you couldn't tell, he LOVES Quidditch. He and James are on the Quidditch team. James is a chaser and Sirius is a beater. Peter is really shy and quiet. He is also very timid, and worries about almost everything. Even though they are a little crazy, I think you will like them," Remus concluded as he opened the door to the boy's dorm. Indeed, his friends were in there. James and Lily weren't snogging, to Remus' surprise, but Lily was actually helping James and Sirius with a prank on the Slytherins. Peter looked up at the door when it opened in surprise.
"Oi, Moony! Lily gave us a wonderful idea of a prank. You have to hear it!" Sirius exclaimed as he jumped up and ran over to Remus to continue his rambling.
"Why did he call you Moony, Remus?" Rayna asked while Sirius went on. Remus went pale. Before Remus could think of an excuse Sirius butted into a new conversation.
"Who's the girl, Remus?" Sirius asked as Lily and James came over.
"This is Rayna Faol. She is a new student here and is also in Gryffindor with us. Dumbledore told me to give her a tour of Hogwarts." Wow, she is really pretty. Peter thought, not taking his eyes off her.
"Hi, I'm Lily Evans. I wondered why an empty bed popped up in the girl's dorm today. Anyway, You'll love it here. WELCOME!"
"I'm James Potter. Nice to meet you."
"Umm, I'm P-Peter Pettigrew. Hi--"
"And I am Sirius Black, spelled S-I-R-I-U-S not S-E-R--"
"Okay, Sirius, she gets the idea," Lily said, rolling her eyes. Rayna giggled. She thought they were a fun lot to be with. Lily then grabbed Raynas arm and pulled her towards the door. "C' mon. I'll show you the girls dorm and meet some of my girlfriends. See ya later guys!" Lily told Rayna as the walked out of the room.
"Bye. It was a pleasure to meet all of you. See you later, Remus!" Rayna said as Lily was dragging her. For some reason, Remus couldn't stop smiling. Peter felt a tang of jealousy when she said Remus' name, and no one else's.
"Well, she seems like a nice girl," James said, siting on his bed.
"Yeah, but a bit sickly looking, if you ask me. What do you think, Moony?" Sirius added.
"What? Uh... I thought she looked all right," Remus said. James and Sirius looked at each other. The look was of curiosity. Could Remus be falling for someone? James thought, but quickly pushed it out of his mind as Sirius began to talk about the next Gryffindor Quidditch match. Peter was still looking at the door.
"This is your bed. I sleep here, and Ashley sleeps here. I'll help you unpack," Lily said as she helped Rayna take some of her stuff out of her trunk. "So what do you think of the boys. I know you haven't really met them yet or have seen them in action but tell me anyway."
"Well," Rayna began, "I think James seems very nice. Sirius seems, well, a little odd and funny. Peter seems, well, a little too scared of everything. And Remus seems very intelligent, funny, kind, and caring."
"Your right. They are all that way, especially Peter, he is scared of many things. James is nice, cute, a great kisser... but you don't want me to go on," Lily said with a wink. Rayna smiled.
"So are you going out with James?" Rayna asked as she folded some of her clothes.
"Yup! We've been going out for about a year and 3 months now. Don't tell me you like him. All of the girls in Gryffindor like him so please don't add into the crowd."
Rayna laughed. "Don't worry. Though he does seem to be a good boyfriend, he doesn't seem to be my type."
"YES! Finally someone turns him down. He will be shocked," Lily grinned.
Rayna smiled to herself. I think I am going to like it here.
A/N: Is it still as lame as it sounds....*sniff* I am trying!!! Please R+R!
