Chapter Three:



Aida, Lily and Melanie got off the train and, amid the chaos and excitement from the other students, found a carriage to sit in.

"I'm so excited you guys, but I'm sorta nervous," Aida told them. Her eyes began to grow wary and seemed to fill up with hesitation and a bit of regret.

"Pft. I'm sure you'll be FINE. Don't worry. We were both nervous when we first came here...then again...we were eleven," Melanie sighed.

"You'll be awesome. Don't listen to her, you'll do great," Lily said firmly. Lily then grasped Aida's hand and said "If you don't have fun, or if anyone bothers you, let us know. We'll watch over you."

Aida smiled. "Thanks."

"Welcome all! It's such a pleasure to see familar faces again..."

The Sorting had begun and, as usual, Sirius, James, and Remus had their own conversation. Peter listened with great care to what Dumblebore had to say.

"What if he says something urgent?" Remus asked with concern. We never do listen to what he says you dolt."

"Ah, relax Moony," Sirius smiled. "Get that stick out of your arse before it permanently gets stuck."

Remus frowned and decided he had had enough. He crossed his arms and stared at Dumbledore with frown lines on his forehead. He looked much like an adult than a sixteen year old, with his premature grey hair and lined face.

"Sirius, don't be so hard on him. We all had a rough summer. Give him a break will you?" James looked at Sirius with a scornful look in his eyes. James loved both of his friends, perhaps he was closer to Sirius, but lately Remus needed a break from Sirius' teasing. Remus WAS having a difficult time, but that is another story...

Sirius sighed and turned to look at Remus. "Remus, look I'm sorry-" He began, but suddenly ceased.

"What Sirius? What do you have to say now?" Remus snapped.

"A-A-Bl-Ah-..." Sirius began to babble. He was staring into one direction...

Aida sat next to Lily and Melanie. She was listening closely to what this wise man had to say. She felt a certain yearning to go up to this man and to enfold herself into him. Not in a sexual way, but in a father-to-daughter way. *Oh God Aida, get a hold of yourself. You're starting to cling onto someone you have never met before.*

"Aida? You okay?" Lily looked at Aida with concern. She had seen the look of rejection in her eyes again.

"I'm fine, I'm fine. I'm just in my own little world. Let me tell you now: I'm weird."

"Ahaha, ok ok ok..." Lily turned to her right and something in her stomach churned. *Shit, don't tell me this is happening...* she thought.

"Lily? Are YOU ok?" Aida asked.

"I'm okay," Lily began. "No, I'm not. I want you to promise me something Aida as hard as it might be for you."

"Uh....ok?"

"I want you to stay away from Sirius Black."

"Hello? Padfoot? Hello?" James wove his hand for the second time in front of Sirius' face. "Wake up you fucktard, What the bloody hell is the matter with you?"

Sirius nudged his head foreward, and James turned his head to look. When he gasped Remus looked over in the direction of James' eyes as well.

There, sitting there elequantly, was perhaps the most beautiful (well, second most beautiful) young woman he ever laid eyes on. She had long brown hair, that went down to the middle of her back, that was straight from the root, but was loosely curled at the ends. She had tan skin that seemed to glow from the inside of her soul, dark almond-shaped eyes, and a gorgeous face. She had the look of innocent, but had a devilish look about her. She was ..."well proportioned" and seemed to always have a smile on her lips.

"Ehem, well, wow," James began. "That's quite a nice view."

James turned to look at Remus, but instead of amazement or lust in his eyes, he had tears in them. "Remus, what's wrong?!"

Remus slowly turned his head to face him. He sighed then closed his eyes.

"That's Aida."
