"Alias? That's an unusual name." remarked Remus. He handed he back her canvas. "So where do you come from? Beaxbatons? You're certainly not a 1st year." Alias carefully put the canvas back in her bag.
"I'm a transfer student. The headmaster informed me that I'd be in 7th year at school. That's all I'm telling you." Sirius cocked an eyebrow
"Well we're in 7th year too. What classes are you taking?" Alias looked at him, slightly glaring
"I'm not telling you, you'll have to find out for yourself." Sirius laughed
"You're feisty! I like that in a girl!" he smiled charmingly, Alias looked at him disgusted
"You are an idiot." she stated and Sirius pretended to look hurt while Remus and James roared with laughter. The compartment door slid open again and three girls walked in. One had red hair with dark emerald eyes, she smiled at all the boys.
"What's so funny?" she asked, James stopped laughing and looked at the girl. He scrambled out of his seat and got on one knee, taking the girls hand.
"Ah, Lily, you are the finest damsel in the land." He said and kissed her hand, Lily rolled her eyes.
"Oh please Potter, you flatter me." James laughed and got up, quickly kissing Lily on the lips.
"But it's the truth my love." The other two girls giggled. Sirius turned his attention to James and Lily, smirking slyly.
"So when's the wedding?" Lily blushed, and glared at Sirius
"Shut up Black." The whole cabin laughed, with the exception of Alias. She watched as the whole compartment with pity. They were happy now, but Alias had a dreadful feeling that something bad was going to happen to this whole group. She looked out the window again, sighing. Humans.. they took their life for granted, this group didn't know how lucky they had it. She used to be like them once, but then Thlor happened. She got a scale out of her knapsack and rubbed it gently. It was one of her beloved Gekkani. It flickered silver and gold in the light. The group continued laughing and telling jokes through the rest of the train ride, Alias was happy to be left to her own devices with no one bothering her.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Remus watched Alias distance herself from the group, it was almost as if she was doing it by magic, but unconsciously. In her hand she held an object, that flickered gold and silver in the light. He watched her carefully noting her every feature. Her dark black her, her deep blue eyes, and her choice of muggle clothing. She had on a shimery silver T-shirt on, with dark blue jeans. Her green robes (A/N: Were green?!?) stood out against their black ones quite easily.
The train came to a halt an hour and a ½ later, and everyone filed out, with the exception of Alias. Remus stayed behind and waited for her. He looked back into the compartment and saw that she was taking her time in getting up. She had put away the silver/gold object and was walking out the door.
*~*~*~*~*
Alias walked out of the door to the compartment that she had spent the train ride in. with her knapsack slung on her shoulder, she started to walk down the hall, but a voice cried out behind her.
"Alias! Wait!" Alias turned around, surprise clearly written on her face, the Lupin kid was running up to her. She stopped and waited for him to catch up. When he did, she kept a neutral face.
"What did you want?" her eyes bored into his, Remus shrugged under the intense gaze, and looked unaffected by it.
"Just to walk with you." Alias raised an eyebrow at him, and looked slightly suspicious
"Why? Your friends would enjoy your company more than I." she turned her back to him and walked away. Remus caught up again however.
"Why are you so withdrawn??" he asked, curious, Alias didn't turn her gaze to him, but kept looking ahead. She didn't answer him, in fact, she completely ignored his presence. This slightly annoyed Remus. Alias stepped off the train with Remus on her tail.
"Alias! Talk to me!!!" he said in an almost yell, she turned around on her heel, glaring at him. Her eyes held anger, pain, and more wisdom than any human should ever have.
"I don't have to do anything!" she spat at him "I got ex-communicated for talking, and I'm not going to talk any unless it is absolutely dire!" she said with venom. Before he could stop her, she ran off, leaving him alone in the rain.
*~*~*~*
Alias walked into the Great Hall wet and slightly mad. The Lupin boy had annoyed her and she had accidentally said something about her past. Slipping into the sorting line, with out anyone noticing, she waited for her name to be called.
"Black, Lorelei!" called out a professor, a girl with short black hair and gray eyes made her way up to the stool. She looked nervous, almost frightened, Alias noted. An old rugged hat had barely touched the top of her head before shouting "GRYFFINDOR!!" The Gryffindor table whistled and applauded loudly. Slowly, the line dwindled in front of Alias. Soon, she was the only one left. An old wizened professor stood up at the head table. The hall quieted down immediately.
"Now, I would like to introduce our new transfer student, Alias Gekkani!" the whole hall clapped and Alias made her way up to the stool. She sat down, and the old hat was placed over her head.
Well, this is quiet unusual. Said the hat in her head
I hope you aren't diryt, I don't want my hair messy. Replied Alias
Why I never! If I had the right mind I'd put you in Slytherin! Alias mentally shrugged
I don't care where you put me hat, as long as I have access to the library.
You are very rude you know that? Alias glared at the hat in her mind
It happens after 50 years of looking for something that you think has been lost forever hat. You probably already know the story after probing in my head. I've wasted 50 years of my life in this world, and I intend to find a way to get Gekkani back somehow. Are you that naïve hat?
No, you will never find a hat smarter than me! Alias rolled her eyes
Just get this over with, will you?
"GRYFFINDOR!!" The hat shouted, Alias put the hat on the stool and made her way over to Gryffindor table. The table was clapping especially loud. Everyone was clapping, everyone except Remus Lupin.
A/N: So was that good?? R/R!!
