Chapter One

A little over six years had passed, and each person developed into his or her own mind. James was named Head Boy, and Lily Head Girl in their house, Gryffindor. Along with being Head Boy, James was named Gryffindor Quidditch captain, and Sirius played along side him on the Quidditch field. Alessandra was a Gryffindor prefect and she and Lily were considered the prettiest and most popular girls in their house. Remus had stayed out of the spotlight, besides the fact that he played a best friend to two of the most popular Gryffindor guys. Severus had been swallowed into the rituals of the Slytherin house and would enter the world of death eaters just as soon as he graduated. Then there was Peter, whom was a friend to Remus, Sirius and James but he was out of the limelight and lurked in the shadows of the school barley known, choosing not to be known.

The Gryffindor common room was full with people speaking of the upcoming Quidditch match the next week and others trying to finish their weekend homework.

"I'll be right back," Lily said as she stood up from the table her and Alessandra were studying at and walked up to her dorm.

Alessandra looked over to where her brother, Sirius and Remus were talking secretively like they always did. She got up and walked over to the couch where they were sitting and saw Sirius look up briefly to see her coming and hissed, "Shh," at them.

Alessandra decided she probably didn't want to know what they were talking about, if it involved her brother.

"So, what's up?" Alessandra asked as she sat intentionally on Sirius' lap and rested her legs on James and Remus.

Along with Sirius being one of James' best friends he was also one of Alessandra's. Alessandra was thankful for that fact; because she knew no jerk would try to pull anything on her once they knew she was James Potter's sister plus a friend of Sirius Black who was infamous for his lack of ways to deal with his short temper.

The three immediately looked at her.

"Not much, just talking," James said as he kept looking up to the tower where the girl's dorms are located.

"Why do you keep on looking up there?" Alessandra asked, right before hearing a loud crash.

"JAMES!"

"That answers my question," Alessandra said as she looked up to the dorm rooms to see Lily come storming down the stairs.

"Move it," James said as he shoved Alessandra's legs off of him and started running towards the portrait hole.

"She found it!" Remus said, laughing, as he watched James shoot out through the portrait hole.

Lily stormed into the commons area.

"Where is he?" She asked pointedly to Sirius and Remus who were trying unsuccessfully to cover up their laughs. Lily scanned the commons room only to find that the portrait door was sliding shut and quickly left through it in search for James.

"So what did James do this time?" Alessandra asked as she shifted off of Sirius' lap to sit where James had just been.

"I'm sure you will find out from Lily soon enough," Remus stated with an amused look on his face.

She looked over to Sirius and saw the same look on his face. They weren't going to say anything.

"If you won't tell me, I'll find out for myself," Alessandra stated and before anyone could protest she rushed out through the portrait hole to find James and Lily.

Sirius and Remus sat there for a few seconds, considering their situation, but quickly gave into curiosity.

"I wonder if Lily has caught James yet," Remus stated giving Sirius a curious look.

"There's only one way to find out," Sirius said and both he and Remus started after them.

Severus sat amongst the fellow seventh year Slytherins in their commons room. They had formed a circle and were discussing the initiation for becoming a death eater.

"It is our time," One Slytherin hissed.

"This is our year to prove that we are worthy for the dark lord," said another on the opposite side of the circle.

"What are the tasks?" hissed another voice.

"There's several this year, but you must only accomplish one," stated a shadowed figure in the middle of the circle. "Some are more complicated than others, but others are."

"The list, show us the list," hissed the first Slytherin, cutting the other off.

"You must learn patience, for the dark lord will punish you if you do not learn patience for him," stated the Slytherin in the middle. "The tasks have been pre selected for each student, with an alternative task if you refuse the first.or are unable to accomplish it," continued the Slytherin in the middle as he started to distribute papers to each seventh year Slytherin, which held their task. "But be warned if you do the alternative task, you will be punished by the dark lord, but will be able to call yourself a death eater."

Severus received his task and read it.

"Of all the bloody things!" He hissed gaining the attention of every Slytherin in the circle. He quickly straightened up. "The task shouldn't take long to accomplish."

"All of you, leave now, and work on accomplishing your tasks," The Slytherin smiled and walked up to his dorm.

"What is your task?" asked another Slytherin seventh year, Falcon Avery. "Mine is to perform the Cruciatus Curse on a teacher or."

"I'd rather not know," Severus stated as he walked away. His task had to be one of the most difficult. If he could point his wand at a teacher and cry out 'Cruccio' that would be far better than the task he ended up with.

He looked at the paper again and shoved it into the pocket of his robes. He didn't know if he'd be able to accomplish the task, but he knew that he had his work cut out for him whether he accomplished it or not.

Sirius and Remus caught up with Alessandra at the corner where the edge of the Gryffindor hall way meets the main building of the castle where classrooms were located.

Alessandra spun around as she heard footsteps approach. When she saw Sirius and Remus she quickly left from the corner, and on her way past grabbed both their hands.

"You're right, it was a bad idea," Alessandra said as she pulled both guys towards the Gryffindor tower.

"I never said it was a bad idea. What did you see?" Sirius asked.

"Nothing," she stated and continued to pull them back towards the tower.

Sirius looked back at the corner. He wanted to know what Alessandra had seen. He ripped his hand from Alessandra's grip and did a complete 180 back to the corner.

"Sirius, don't," Alessandra hissed, but it was too late.

Sirius rounded the corner and saw something he'd actually wasn't very surprised to see.

Lily had James pinned against the wall and they were kissing each other. Sirius watched as James pulled away to place a strand of red hair out of Lily's face and leaned down to kiss her again.

At that moment he felt a hand grab him and yank him out of the corridor. At the suddenness of pull he lost his balance and ended up pinning Alessandra right against a wall. Sirius caught his breath as he thought of the situation that Lily and James were in, and now looking at the situation he was in.

For the first time he realized just how much Alessandra's body had matured since their first year at Hogwarts. Her and Lily were the most sought after girls in Gryffindor, but that had never really fazed him before, but now that he was so close to Alessandra he could almost taste the intoxicating aroma of strawberries that filtered off her skin. He wasn't supposed to feel like this, especially for James' little sister.

'But only by a few minutes,' a voice in his head called.

Alessandra looked up into Sirius' eyes and immediately recognized the look his eyes held, the look held in the eyes of every guy who had ever lusted after her. She also realized the situation they were in, and felt her stomach fill with butterflies at the heat of Sirius' body against hers. Before she could think Sirius placed his hand on the side of her face and gently lifted her chin. At this her thoughts seemed to clear, and she firmly placed the palm of her hand against his chest and gave him a firm shove.

"Don't get any ideas," Alessandra practically breathed as she bit her bottom lip and made her way towards the Gryffindor common room, alone.

Sirius watched the sway of her hips as she walked away.

"Earth to Sirius," Remus stated repeatedly, and laughed when Sirius looked at him with a confused look on his face.

"Remus, I think I've gone temporarily insane," Sirius stated then answered to the confused look on Remus' face. "Is it me or is Alessandra.sexy?"

Remus laughed. "Well it only took you three years longer than the rest of the school to notice."

"What are you two doing here?" James' voice called from the end of the hall that led to the Gryffindor tower.

Sirius and Remus spun around and when they say Lily and James standing there they both smirked.

"We should be asking you the same thing, but we already know the answer to that question," Sirius said and he and Remus laughed.

Lily blushed deeply. "I'm going to go back to the tower. I'll talk to you later?"

"Yea, of course," James replied with a nod and watched the sway of Lily's hips as she walked back to the tower.

"Yea, of course," Sirius mocked.

"Shut up, we've got to go to Quidditch practice," James said turning to go to the Quidditch field. They stored their brooms in their lockers in the locker rooms so the brooms were already waiting for them to practice.

On their way towards the field Remus stopped abruptly and looked at his watch.

"Hey, I got to go see Headmaster Dumbledore," Remus stated.

"Ok, see you tonight then," James said giving Remus a wink and a nod.

When Remus went in the direction of Headmaster Dumbledore's office, James and Sirius turned back towards the Quidditch field and made their way to practice.

Lily and Alessandra sat in their dorm with a bag of Chocolate Frogs they were munching on.

"You, Remus and Sirius all saw?" Lily asked. Her face was growing redder by the second.

"Well, really only me and Sirius, but I'm sure Remus got the idea" Alessandra said as she giggled. "Who would have thought my brother and my best friend?"

"Well, at least you don't object to us," Lily said gratefully.

"Why would I?" Alessandra asked.

"I don't know. I just thought maybe that's the way it was supposed to be, because James always objects to the guys who like you," Lily said quietly as she reached into her the bag for another frog.

"Well, that's just James for you," Alessandra laughed.

Lily's back straightened as she looked like an idea came in her head. "Wait, if you, Sirius and Remus were all there.then where were you when I was coming back to the tower?"

Alessandra's eyes dropped as she picked up a frog for herself. "I just wasn't dumb enough to get caught spying on my brother snogging my best friend."

Lily hit Alessandra with her pillow and the two girls got into a huge pillow fight, which ended with feathers all over their room.

After Lily and Alessandra tired of the game Alessandra picked up her wand, which had fallen out of her robe.

"Luere," Alessandra shouted out the cleaning spell and within seconds all the feathers were gathered up and disposed of.

Lily sat on her bed with a sad look on her face. "One more year."

Alessandra walked over to the window and could see the sun starting to set and the full moon shown, even in the brightness of the daylight. "One more year to make memories that will last a lifetime."

"We should get to bed," Lily suggested as she climbed under her sheets.

"What about dinner?"

"Oh, who cares?"

Lily was soon fast asleep, but Alessandra stayed where she was, staring out the window and watched as the full moon climbed to the top of the sky.

James and Sirius exited the Gryffindor locker room as the sun was making it's decent behind the horizon.

"Are we making our trip, tonight?" Sirius asked as they walked up to front entrance of Hogwarts.

"What do you take me for?" James asked in a mockery of an offended tone. "Of course we are," There was a slight pause then James stopped abruptly. "Have you seen Wormtail lately?"

"No, I haven't," Sirius stated looking as if he were almost in deep thought. "But he will show up. He always does."

James laughed and he and Sirius continued to make their way to the entrance of Hogwarts.
