Hey all!! This is my first - ever fanfic so plzzz go easy! I don't like flamez unless they are what you would call "constructive critisism". I'm Australian so I'm sorry if my characters don't sound quite as british as they should. Anyways hope you enjoy! On with the story...
DISLCAIMER: I am not british, blonde OR pregnant - therefore I am not J.K Rowling - Therefore I do not own any of the magical world, or any of the characters.
This story is about James, Sirius, Remus, Peter, Lily and Arabella - Six best friends starting their sixth year at Hogwart's. However this year certain members of the group start to feel different towards others.
******************************************************************************
James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Peter Pettigrew, Lily Evans and Arabella Figg were best friends. They had been ever since they started as first years at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Now loud, adventurous and extremely happy teenagers they shared alot of things - including pranks, detentions and an extreme dislike for Lucius Malfoy and Severus Snape - OK let's make that Slytherins in general.
Many people looked up to them - they boys envious of James, Sirius, Remus and Peter for having close friendships with two of the best looking girls in the school - and the girls likewise jealous of Lily and Arabella and of the fact that the four boys of the group looked after them and protected them.
Needless to say life was great for the six - just about to start their 6th year at Hogwarts...........
' LILY!!, OY LILY!!, LIL - EEE!!!'
Lily, pushing a cart loaded with her trunk on platform 9 and 3/4, turned when she heard her name. She was about to board the Hogwarts Express, the school train which took all Hogwarts students to the castle at the beginning of the year. Lily new it could only be one of two people calling to her that loudly - Arabella Figg or Sirius Black - and as the voice definitely didn't sound masculine, she called out 'Coming 'Bella' and made her way towards the direction she thought she heard the voice coming from.
'LILY!!' 'Bella screamed again when her friend came into view. She jumped of her trunk (which she had been standing on) and gave Lily a huge hug, nearly toppling them over.
'Lily you look great!', 'Bella exclaimed and continued before Lily could talk - 'Nobody else is here yet! I wonder were they all got to? Never mind! So watcha been up to?'
'Well..' Lily began, but was cut of by 'Bella screaming again. - (You never could get a word in edgewise when that girl was excited.)
' REMUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!', 'Bella ran to a sandy haired boy and practically jumped on him.
It was no secret Remus and Arabella had a favourite in each other. They lived next door to each other as kids and had best friends with each other way before Hogwarts and the other 4 came into the picture. They practically considered each other brother and sister - even though they weren't neighbours anymore - In the groups second year, Arabella's parents had split up and she moved with her mum to a house in Liverpool.
'How are ya, ya daft scouser!' Remus teased and Lily watched as he swung her around happily - much to her delight. Those two truly were brother and sister, in spirit if not in blood...
- But Lily barely had time to register this as a pair of warm hands covered her eyes and a husky voice whispered 'Guess who?' in her ear. Lily grinned.
'Let me guess' she said, acting puzzled, ' It couldn't be...um...Severus Snape, could it?'
The hands immediately withdrew and a (now normal) voice exclaimed 'Ew!! Gross Lily!!'
Lily turned around to find one very cute, very rich James Potter looking down at her scandalized. His deep, warm brown eyes horrified behind his oval glasses and his mop of black hair messy as always.
'What do you take me for Lils?' He asked her in disgust.
Lily just grinned and he threw her a hurt look.
' Oh come here you great oaf!' She said sypathetically, and pulled him in for a hug.
' Hmm - Hmm!' Lily heard someone clearing there throut and broke away from the hug to see Sirius Black.
' And just where is MY hug!' He asked her.
'Or mine!' Remus piped up, him and 'Bella finally having returned to where they were standing.
'Hey! What about mine!' Peter had arrived, pushing his trolley and holding his rat Stuart.
'OK!' Arabella yelled, 'GROUP HUG!'
And what followed was a large mass of bodies, and a string of small conversations:
' Padfoot old buddy! How jolly good to see you!'
' You to old chap!'
' Hullo Lily! We've grown alot I see! And not just taller!...OW! Why'd ya do that for?'
'Bella darling! Looking ravishing as always!'
'Sod off Black!'
' Yeah or I might have to bite you!'
'And with Moony we know that's DEFINITELY possible'
' Ok, Ok I'm getting claustrophobic! I can't breathe!'
'Yeah! Besides you boys stink!'
' I heard that Figg! Prepare to meet your doom!'
' Oh yeah? What are you going to do about it Potter? Set your hair on me?'
'That's it! Your in for it!'
James picked up 'Bella and started towards the train with her.
'REMUS! REEEEMMUSSS!!!!!!!!!' 'Bella screamed, 'Get Potter to put me down! JAMES!!!'
Sirius turned to Remus and Peter.
'Think i can beat 'em?' He asked, his dark blue eyes twinkling with mischeof.
' Can puffskeins fly?'
'You're on!'
And before Lily could register what was happening, she was grabbed by Sirius and carried very hap-hazardly towards the train.
In the end James and Arabella won the race. Sirius was kicked by Lily in an...er...distasteful place when a passing Snape commented on the colour of her underwear. Meaning he was too paralyzed to continue. Everybody thought it was quite funny, seeing Sirius in agony, trying to chase Snape so he could punch him - while Lily just stood there yelling obscenities at Severus until he was out of sight.
Eventually the six found a compartment and stowed their luggage away into the racks above. James, Remus, Peter and Arabella still chuckling, Lily still fuming and Sirius still moving rather stiffly.
'So what colour are Lily's undies?' James asked Sirius as they sat down. Lily sent James a very nasty look.
'Hey' He retorted holding his hands up in defeat. ' Go easy, oh fiery one!'
'Red!' Peter answered instantly after this, causing everyone (except Lily) to burst into laughter.
_____________________________________________________________________________
Sirius and Arabella had what you would call a 'strange' relationship. They were always teasing each other and getting into fights. But they were fond of each other.
- Let's make that Sirius was fond of 'Bella. Bella herself didn't know quite what to think of Sirius Black. He was a friend - but she wouldn't call him a good friend. Not for the fact that she didn't know him well - just for the fact that he was so damn irritating!! But then there was the fact that he was very protective of her - just about as much as Remus - and her and Remus was practically her brother! Sirius and Remus would go to any lengths to keep a boy away form 'Bella. She understood Remus...but Sirius? She got more confused each time she thought about it.
So after knowing all this it was no suprise to James, Remus, Peter and Lily that Sirius and 'Bella had an argument on the train.
It started after 'Bella returned from the toilet looking quite angry - but hurt at the same time.
Remus, noticing this asked her what was wrong.
'Nothing! I'm fine!' She snapped, but Remus could tell she was angry.
'You're not fine!' He said impatiently, 'What happened!'
By now the other four were also looking at 'Bella intently, waiting for her to answer.
' Remus it's alright' She said in a calm voice, ' I just had a run in with Malfoy, that's all. You know what that barstard's like. Always picking on my broken family!'
' It's alright 'Bella we'll get him!' Peter said.
'We'll pulp him!!' James agreed.
'What did that dickhead say?' Sirius asked Bella, looking slightly more agitated than the others.
' It's alright Sirius', she told him, 'It doesn't really matter. It's only Malfoy!'
' Yeah. He's only trying to provoke us, to get us into trouble' Remus said soothingly. ' You sure you're alright 'Bella?'
Arabella nodded her head and the others seemed satisfied - except for Sirius that is.
' I'll kill him' He said angrily after several minutes in which he seemed to be thinking.
'Sirius!' Bella exclaimed, ' Just drop it! I'm fine!'
He looked over at her. 'I'll still kill him' he retorted.
Bella was growing quite impatient.
' Sirius I'm fine! OK! Fine!' She yelled at him. 'Why do you even care?'
'If you don't want anyone to stick up for you that's alright by me' Sirius snapped back at her.
' What about when you're teasing me, huh?' Bella asked him ' Who's gonna stand up for me then?'
She then chose a seat as far away from Sirius as possible and they spent the rest of the train ride throwing each other dirty looks while the rest played an exploding snap tournament.
Eventually the Hogwarts Express came to a halt, the students clambered off and made there way up to Hogwarts castle via magically drawn carriages. James, Sirius, Remus, Peter, Lily and Arabella all clambered off their carriage when it stopped infront of the big wooden doors that led to the entrance hall, and headed through them to the Great Hall for the opening feast.
