What do you think? Too long, too much Colour?
Lily was sat outside eating ice cream waiting for Nissa and Bella as witches and wizards walked past her with their shopping, buying for the new term at Hogwarts and just shopping.
Nissa walked up behind Lily and sat down, and called the owner over. "Hi, can I have a strawberry and vanilla ice cream please."
"Of course." He said smiling and went inside.
"Hi." Nissa said. "Sorry to keep you so long, but I couldn't get away; I've been quit busy with the shop and moving this summer."
"Hi that's alright, you're here now, and I haven't really been waiting that long." Lily told her smiling. "Love the hair by the way, not quit pink but not quit red either; and the length really suits you."
"Thanks, I felt like a change. Last year my hair was to dark, but I think this makes up for it." Nissa said smiling.
"You've got that right." Bella said as she sat down with them, just as the owner came back out with Nissa's ice cream.
"What are you having, on me?" Nissa asked her.
"Oh thanks, I'll have a chocolate sunny." Bella said smiling. "And you hair's great by the way."
"Thanks, I wanted it a little longer; it takes so long to grow on its own." Nissa said standing up to show them the full length of her hair, which was down to her waist.
They ate their ice cream and watched as everyone went about their business and talked about what they got up to over the holidays.
"Aren't you to young to live on your own?" Lily asked her.
"Well yes, but its better then staying there and coming back to school dark blue, freezing to death and can hardly do magic." Nissa told them.
"It was that bad, I didn't realise." Lily said.
"That was because I kept it to myself." Nissa told her. "Well Sirius and his friends knew."
"What, why did you tell them?" Bella asked.
Nissa looked at them both. "I didn't not really, they worked it out; and I told them really in the end I couldn't really hide away from what was happening."
They finished their ice creams off, which Nissa paid for saying that it was her treat; and their was always Hogsmende because they felt bad about her paying for all three of them. They went off to buy their new books first, and found quit a lot of their friends in their.
"Hey Nat." Bella said. "Have you see faith or Corrina yet?"
"Yeah their just getting new robes." Natalie told her, and then she spotted Nissa and Lily. "Wow, look at your hair. Its so, pink or is it red? Well its cool what ever colour it is, and really long."
"What's Sirius said? I bet he didn't like it." Ella said holding her new books.
They all smiled at her, they had gotten used to her by now; being jealous of the fact that Sirius didn't like her and liked Nissa.
"I have seen him, but he hasn't seen my new hair yet." Nissa told them. "Severus hated it I think, I wasn't really sure about his reaction to be honest."
The bell rang as the door opened, Natalie giggled as she saw who it was.
"Well here he comes." Natalie said smiling, Ella looked over and smiled at him though he wasn't looking at them and didn't see her.
Nissa didn't turn around, she had been looking forward really to showing him her new hair style but now that the moment was finally here she wasn't so sure; Severus hadn't really given her a good opinion to go off though her friends had liked it and so did she.
Sirius was looking around the shop but not for his new books as was James, Remus though was at less looking for the books they would need; and it was him who saw them first. He nudges James to get his attention.
"Well Lily's that way, and with a group of friends." Remus told him and then smiled at Sirius. "Well she isn't blue this year."
Sirius looked over he wasn't sure what to do as he walked over to them, well part from smile. Nissa and Lily turned round and smiled at them all.
"Hi Lil's." James said.
"Hi." Lily said.
"So how was your summer?" Nissa asked them.
"Great." James and Sirius said together, making her smile at them.
"And your summer seems to have been alright." Sirius said touching her hair seeing the length of it over her shoulder.
"So what do you think, to long, to much colour?" Nissa asked him.
"Great length, great colour. I bet Snape didn't like it though." Sirius answered smiling, and then kissed her. "I think you should your hair like this."
"I'm glad that you like it, I was a little unsure what you would think." Nissa admitted. "And Severus I'm not really sure what he thought about my hair."
"Who cares what he thinks." James told her. "Oh, mum said that you can come round to the house and come to the station with us if you want."
"Thanks, ok then." Nissa said as Sirius wrapped his arms her and she lend into him. "You know we can't stay like this, I have thing's to buy."
"Of course, we can't keep you from shopping." Sirius teased her.
"You can meet us in the Leaky Caldron after you've finished, mum wants you to come for tea; thinks that you shouldn't be on your own." James told her.
Nissa smiled as her friends looked at her, wondering why she was being inviting to James' house especially right in front of Sirius who she was obviously going out with.
"Thanks." Nissa said.
"If you don't come, we'll be coming back for you." Sirius told her.
"Yeah, some how their going too kidnap us all." Remus informed her.
"I'd like to see them try." Nissa said smiling at him.
They left and went off to do their own shopping with the promise that Nissa would meet up with them later, and that Lily could come as well if she wanted.
"Come on Lily, their not really that bad." Nissa told her. "And anyway, Mr and Mrs Potter are going to be there as well."
"You still haven't told us how you know them." Lily said.
"I haven't, oh I design and make clothes; I've done some for them quit a lot this summer to be honest with you." Nissa told her.
Lily decided against going back with her to James' house, but Nissa still went on her own; they were all waiting for her. She put all her bags and packages down on the chair next to Remus, surprising him at much she had brought.
"I can get a little carried away when I start shopping." Nissa told him smiling as he eyed the bags.
"I'd say." Remus said.
"Sorry James, but Lily said maybe next time." Nissa told him.
"Oh well, this is the year." James told them.
"He says that every year." Remus whispered to her.
They went back to the Potter's and didn't leave until late, Mrs Potter had wanted Nissa to stay saying it was to late to go back on her own considering that no one was going to be there; but she told her it was alright and left.
The 1st of September, James and Sirius was running around trying to find everything which they had forgotten to pack the day before; Mrs Potter was watching her watch wondering when Nissa was going to arrive so that they could all have breakfast before they had to leave.
Nissa arrived in the kitchen and pulled her trunk to one side, and went out into the hall to find someone; Sirius right into her.
"Sorry." Sirius said.
"No problem, still packing?" Nissa said smiling.
"Just got a few things left." Sirius said a little irritated and then smiled at her. "Still got the hair, great."
"I want to see what everyone else thinks, even if they don't like it; I'm still keeping it this way." Nissa told him.
"Sirius aren't you ready yet?" Sarah shouted down the stairs. "What's keeping you?"
"Nissa's here." Sirius shouted up stairs; and George came out of the living room.
"I'm sure they'll be time for all that later." George said smiling at Sirius and Nissa.
Sirius left them and went back up stairs to finishing his packing and came back down a while later with James heaving their trunks down the stairs.
"Aren't the two of you so strong?" Nissa teased them, making the both almost drop them.
"Thank you we do try." Sirius said trying to smile.
They all had breakfast and then they took their truck's and cages out to the car, and some how managed to get them all in as well as themselves; and then they were off for the station.
"This is different; I've always come with Severus." Nissa said as they walked through the very busy Kings Cross, to Platform 9 ¾.
"I should imagine that it's a lot better, we are after all a lot better company then he is." Sirius said, James nodded in agreement before running at the barrier.
As they walked along the train looking for empty seat's a lot of heads turned in their direction and started to whisper, well there was Sirius who most of the girls fancied, there was James who was a Quidditch star who had won the cup for Gryffindor every year since he started; and then there was Nissa's new hair colour very different from the year before.
"Wow." Jake said as he came over with Olin. "Nice hair. Are you going out?"
Sirius smiled at him. "Yeap, she's all mine; you can look but you can't touch."
Severus walked past just then with his friends, they weren't at all impressed with her new hair colour and what Sirius just announced.
"Better luck next time hey Snape." James said.
Severus just glared at them and walked past, he was to angry to even do anything. Sirius and James just laughed as Remus made his way through the crowd towards them with his parents trying to keep up with him.
They helped one another onto the train after finding someone to sit, and then Nissa left them to it and she went off with Lily and Bella.
"I don't know if I like the colour." Ella told her as she just stared at her.
They talked about after Nissa had left them in Diagon Ally and when she had gone back to the Potter's and the rest of their holiday, and wondering what the teacher's were going to say about her hair; not that she bothered.
Lily walked into the Great Hall behind Nissa, who lead the way to their seat's as heads turned to get a better look at her new hair style.
"Cool hair."
"I which I could change like you."
"So does this mean, you're over the dark spell?"
"She was never in a dark spell." Sirius told him as he made his way. "I don't think I like everyone looking at you."
Nissa turned round and smiled at him as she took her seat next to Lily and Remus, as Sirius glared at anyone who dared look their way.
"Are you sitting down, or are you going to duel with every guy in this place?" James asked.
Sirius looked round at him and sat down finally. The new first years arrived shortly after and were sorted in their houses, and then Dumbledore stood up.
"Welcome back to another year at Hogwarts, and to those who are just joining us welcome also." Dumbledore said. "I have looked around the hall, many have changed and some have stayed the same just grow a little older over the summer. And some or one have decided to be a little brighter to make up for year. Now we must eat."
The tables suddenly filled with food, as Nissa lowered her head as many looked her way.
"Did he have to say something?" Nissa asked.
"That's a good sign that Dumbledore like your hair." Remus told her.
"And what's not to like about it." Sirius said as he helped himself to a bit of everything.
Lily was sat outside eating ice cream waiting for Nissa and Bella as witches and wizards walked past her with their shopping, buying for the new term at Hogwarts and just shopping.
Nissa walked up behind Lily and sat down, and called the owner over. "Hi, can I have a strawberry and vanilla ice cream please."
