Chapter 2

A fifteen-year-old girl made her way up. She had black hair and green eyes. She was very pale and about 5'5" weighing in at 115. On her fingers were those metal claw things ((I have no idea what those are called)) and on her free fingers her nails are black. She has a spiked choker and spiked bracelets She had contacts that made her eyes look like cats. When she got to the front of the Great Hall she said something to Dumbledore which only he could hear. When her mouth opened it revealed caped teeth.

" Carmen will be joining our fifth year Gryffindor class. Carmen would you take a seat at the table right over there." He gestured to the Gryffindor table. Carmen looked the way indicated. At that time Lupin looked up from eating his dessert and quickly went back o eating, slightly startled by her looks. Carmen walked over and sat down and everyone in e two-seat radius moved. Carmen seemed unbothered by their reaction to her but you'd look closer you'd see the a glint of hurt in her eyes. Carmen started to eat some cake. Lupin had caught that glimpse in her eye and decided, despite his better judgment, sat closer to her.

"Hi." He said trying not to sound or looked at all scared

.

"Hey, Betty is that Remus talking to the new kid." Said a girl to her friend who turned to watch, along with many other students, the reaction of this strange new kid.

"Hi." Carmen sounded pissed off. She wasn't though it's just how she sounds at times.

"....Uh.....I'm Remus." Lupin was afraid he may have some ho offended her.

"Right....." Carmen seemed more interested in her food than in the conversation.

"And you are?" He asked.

"Carmen. Didn't you here him say that?" Carmen started to eat some ice cream.

"Oh....right.....So, what classes you in? Average...Advanced?"

"Advanced. You." Carmen stopped eating and actually turned to look at him.

Lupin was careful not to get startled so he wouldn't offend her in any way. "Same."

Just then Sable noticed her friend talking to Carmen and whispered to her friends " Hey, look. Lupin's got the new kid to talk."

The rest of the crew turned to see.

"You're right." Said Sirius. Sable slid over to talk.

"Yo, Re! Sup?" Lupin looked at her and she got the hint to leave.

"Anyway....so.....Need someone ta show ya around?"

"Sure." Carmen wasn't sounding so pissy. "Thank you." Lupin smiled. "So.....Any strange characters here? We had a vampire in my old school. She was my only friend there. I seem to draw the ones most would avoid."

"Not really....but there is this clan of mine......We're kind of the out casts, except for Sirius, James, and Lily." Lupin pointed out his friends. Sable and Sirius were making out. "Sirius and James are hot with the ladies. Lily is James's girl, but tell that to him. Sable likes to 'get to know' all of the guys in school and she's Sirius's girl. Pete is Pete. And then there's me."

" Oh, this school seems like no fun. I'll have to try and get Dad to let me move back or something." Said Carmen boredly.

"Aw.....Why? This place is a lot more fun than it looks, you just gotta know where to look."

"I'm sure it is. Who was that who started talking to you a while ago?"

"Her?" Lupin points to Sable who was with Sirius. "That's Sable, she's not as gothic as you but she has a dark soul. She's pretty sexually involved though...heh. Just give this place a chance."

"I'll try." She said to him.

By the end of dessert Carmen's gothic looks grew on him and he couldn't help but think she was pretty. Lupin got up.

"Hey, where are you going?" Asked Carmen.

"Up to my dorm." He stopped.

"How do you get to the dorms?" Being new, Carmen had no idea.

"Oh, yeah. Follow me." Lupin headed out the door.

AN: This chapter was longer if I do say so myself. They're going to have the whole dorm to themselves. I wonder what will happen? Review please.
