First Day
Nissa pulled up in the hanger's, Sirius had joined the rest of them half way through the journey leaving her alone to drive; but now that they were at the school he came back up to the front while Lupus was still going for what the training would be.
"So Nis, you can't get around Domnus then?" Sirius asked her.
Nissa looked up at him as she got up and smiled at him. "No I can't, you know what he's like. Normally I might have tried but not after what happened, it's been a hard enough year as it is; I don't even know if he trust's me anymore."
"Of course he truth's you, we all trust don't we Sirius?" Potior told her as they got of the hover bus.
"Well the whole attacking Fortis and Domnus thing, well that did take us by surprise." Sirius said teasing her, she hit him playfully on the arm and walked up the path to the school.
"God look at it, Hogwarts is nothing compared to this." James said looking up at the building; it was a step building with four steps and six levels on each. "I can't believe it."
"I know, I read about it; but this is just unreal." Lily said as she linked his arm, with Sirius and Remus behind them.
"Just remember, the more there is the more there is to explore and you remember what fun that is." Sirius said smiling to himself.
(A/N:- I'm sorry if it's a bit confusing but there's two guy's called Sirius; Sirius Black and Sirius Formosa, I think I'll put the letter of their last name beside their name so you know who I'm writing about ok.)
"Don't start, I've already heard it from everyone I don't need to hear it from you as well." Nissa told him, she stopped in front of them both stopping them; and then James stopped as well to find out what was going on. "I didn't do it, it was him why doesn't anyone believe me?"
"I believe you." Sirius F told her, as he stepped forward and put his arm around her waist and they carried on walking.
Sirius B glared at him as he watched them walk into the entrance, the door slide open and they all went in; he kissed her on the cheek and then went off in the opposite direction with his friends.
"Try not to hurt too many people!" Sirius F shouted over his shoulder at her. "But if you want to let off some of that energy of yours, just come and find me!"
Nissa smiled to herself while Methos looked unimpressed beside of her as they walked over to the lift, but Nissa stopped suddenly turning back round realising what she was supposed to be doing that morning.
"Sorry, nearly forgot." Nissa said smiling at that. "Sirius, I shouldn't go near him this early in the morning; well not if I want to keep my mind on track."
"Don't you mean any time of day." Mailin Tisten said as she walked over to them, she was tall and slim and had long dark purple black hair up in pig tails with buns on top and then flowed down her back, and her skin was lightly tanned purple.
"Morning Mailin." Nissa said smiling at her. "Made anyone cry yet?"
"Nope but there's still time." Mailin answered. "Anyway we have a couple of classes with these, so we'll see how strong they really are." She stepped up to Sirius only a inch away from his face and then smiled at him completely taken him off guard. "Can't wait until later."
She turned round her hair hitting him in the face, as Nissa laughed and lead them down the corridor while the others went for the lift.
"Don't mind her, she's alright really." Nissa told them. "Just hope that you lot are in shape for later."
"Course we are." Sirius B reassured her.
"Yeah well we'll see." Nissa said smiling over her shoulder at him.
Sirius was paying that much attention to her that he walked straight into Fred and George, something about her just hit him when she smiled at him.
"Sorry guys." Sirius said, and shack his head.
"No prob's." Fred told him.
James and Remus came up either side of him, as they made their way down the corridor.
"So what was that about?" james asked him.
"I don't know really...but then there is something." Sirius answered.
"Would you like to make more sense?" Remus asked him looking behind him at James.
"Doesn't she remind you of someone?" Sirius asked them, but they both just looked at him. "The name, think about it isn't hard."
"Nissa." Lily said from in front. "From school...what have you two lost yours minds?"
"If they're not feeling well I show them where the Med Bay is you like?" Nissa told them over her shoulder as she walked through the doors at the end of the corridor and into a large hall, they all followed her in and over to a group of people.
"Sirius, that's just impossible." Remus told him. "You said that she died."
James stopped them all. "It can't be that impossible, look at me and Lily we were dead...and look where we are as well. Nothing it seems is impossible."
Harry walked up to them wanting to know what was going on. "So what have I missed?"
"Not much." James answered. "Sirius is just up to something as always, so nothing new there...the question is what is he going to do about it."
"I'm going to find out if they're the same person." Sirius told him as though was obvious.
Remus, James and Lily couldn't help but laugh, this was really like being back at school, all they needed now was a couple of detentions and they were home.
"Sirius remember, be nice don't say anything to upset her and she has a mean right hook." Remus reminded him.
"Yeah remember Michael, you should have seen his face." James said smiling remembering the look on his face.
"And are you lot up to?" Severus asked as he walked over to them.
"Great you're all here." Nissa said brightly as she turned round.
"Hey you could get Snivellus here to help you." James suggested smiling at him.
"James!" Lily said sternly as Severus glared at him.
Nissa smiled at them all as she walked over to the large group, she hadn't thought that she would have this many to show around; one of the guys with Severus walked round from the back of the group and put his arm around her shoulder and smiled at her.
"Hi darling." He said to her, she smiled back at him as everyone watched. He near enough fall over pulling his arm away from her, with smoke coming from it.
"Don't touch me thank you." Nissa said pleasantly, and then turned back to the rest of the group. "Morning everyone. Right as you must have gathered I'm showing you around and you'll be doing my lesson's while you here, so that means Cadell and Disa joint lesson."
"Don't you dare do that to me again." The guy told her as he got up from the ground. "If you do, you'll get twice as worst; and I'm sure that your Master won't be too impressed with you."
"For the whole master thing, I'm already on report for nearly killing a Rider; and the whole fire thing well I'm still haven't got that down yet." Nissa told him pleasantly. "Right then, first of all we'll have a tour of the school and then onto lesson's. We're only doing a couple today; we have Mag/Artress, Science and Potions and Flying."
"Great flying can't wait." James said excitedly.
"She almost killed someone." Sirius whispered to Remus and James.
"If you have any questions you can asked them as we go around, so lets get started." Nissa told them started to walk back out of the hall. "I want you all to stay together and no wondering off, I'll know.
They all followed her out of the hall, talking about what had happened and about the lessons; James was quite excited about there being a flying lesson on his first day. But Sirius was quite worried about her, wondering what could have pushed her so far to do something like that.
Severus was trying to hold his friend off from going after her. "let me go, if I don't get her now I'll get her in first lesson."
"Don't be so stupid Nalang." Severus told him. "Just leave it alone."
"You're normally up for things like this." Nalang told him. "Gone soft now have you around a pretty face? Well she's isn't all that, everyone has a weakness and I'll find hers."
"You really do need to get a life." James told him.
Nalang stop fighting against Severus and rounded on James, but Nissa and walked up behind them.
"If you don't mind saving the fighting for class, I don't really fancy taking you up to the Med Bay before the tour has even started." Nissa told them. "And I doubt your teachers would be pleased either."
"Fine I'll save it for class." Nalang told her.
Nissa smiled at him as she turned back round, Lily and Tonks looked at him and then joined Nissa up front.
"Don't mind him, he's just sore because you don't like him." Lily told her.
"Thanks but its alright, I can handle myself against the likes of him." Nissa reassured them both.
"Yeah like attacking a Rider when they're defenceless." Nalang shot at her.
"Infidus is no way defenceless, none of us is ever defenceless; its just how we use that power when we really need too." Nissa told him over her shoulder not bothering to face him properly.
"Infidus...that must be Infidus Manus...so that means that they're both here." Sirius told them quietly.
"You're jumping ahead of yourself here Sirius, you don't even know if she's the same person." Remus told him calmly. "I'm not sure she is, because I don't get the same feeling being around her like I used to coming up to the full moon."
Both James and Sirius looked over at him, this was new to them; even Fred and George were listening in now.
"What's that supposed to mean?" James asked calmly, because he could see that Sirius couldn't bring himself to ask the question.
"Well she was a werewolf wasn't she, that's why..." Remus answered. "And I don't think she is one."
"Ask her." George suggested.
"Hey Nissa, are you a werewolf?" Fred shouted.
Nissa smiled to herself before she turned round walking backwards. "Nope, but I could find you a female one if you like; there are quite a few around here of course."
"Thanks I'll think about that." Fred told her smiling back as she turned back round.
"There you go." George said pleasantly.
"It isn't her then." Remus said with James nodding in argument.
"Who?" Fred asked.
"A old girlfriend?" Harry asked him.
"Well erm...kind of..." Sirius answered.
"They were near enough married." James told him. "But Sirius, it isn't her. If it was she would remember us like we remember her; and she isn't a werewolf you can't really hide that now can you?"
"I guess so." Sirius said looking at her.
***
Nissa showed them around the school, not all of it because there wasn't enough time to show them around the whole school; she showed them the most important places they would need straight away. And then they went to their first lesson, now Severus had his hands full trying to keep Nalang under control; he was getting quite annoyed with his so called friend.
Nissa walked into the class first, she side stepped out of the way as bided ropes flew through the air and hit Severus in the chest spending him flying backwards tied from top to bottom.
They all started to laugh at him, as he struggled on the floor with Nalang trying to untie him.
"You should be more careful when you enter the arenas." Mailin told Severus as he pushed Nalang aside and got to his feet.
"What do you think you're playing at you stupid girl!" Severus shouted at him, everyone in the class stopped what they were doing and turned around.
A lad who had been stood talking with two girls walked over to him and stood by her side, he had long brown hair and was wearing his estate trousers with a vest.
"You shouldn't talk to her like that." He told her calmly. "Why don't you give him a lesson in manors?"
Mailin smiled at him and then grabbed Severus' hand and pulled him out onto the arena floor and pulled out her staff, while the rest of the class part from their group took their seats in the stands. James and Sirius were in stitches laughing so hard at the thought of him getting his ass kicked by a girl, they walked over to empty seats and they all sat down.
"Don't kill him; he needs to be able to go to the rest of his lessons today." Nissa told her. "Do you really think this is a good idea Li?"
"He shouldn't have spoken to her like that." Li told her.
Severus just stood there as Mailin swung her staff around the top of head and then brought it down and under his legs, he fell to the ground again as she walked around him.
"Come on then, you should get at least get your staff out." Mailin told him, nudging his waist with her foot.
Severus glared at her wondering what she was talking about and then he felt something on his waist, he reached for it and there was his own staff; his was midnight blue and grey. He smiled at her and then got to his feet.
"Now try not to hurt yourself with that, when you try and do magic." Mailin teased him.
Severus swung at her as he tried to cast a spell but she blocked it easily, hitting him in the chest sending him flying back into wall; he slumped to the ground. He rubbed his back and he tried to get to his feet.
"You're really out of shape aren't you?" Mailin said, she went to hit him again but not as hard but he turned round to face her to quickly making her staff connect to her face breaking his nose. "Oh are you alright?"
"Oh my Goddess, Mailin!" Li shouted. "You're never this concerned when you normally train."
"Yeah well, he kind of looks as though one more blow could kill him." Mailin said as she turned round, as Severus sank to the floor holding his nose. "I think that'll do for his lesson."
"Bloody hell, I'm glad that I didn't have that lesson; not that she couldn't have taken me." Sirius whispered to Remus and James on either side of him.
"Hey Mailin, he wants to go next." Bruck told her pointing at Sirius in front of him.
"What? I never said that." Sirius said.
Mailin smiled at him, Sirius couldn't believe it as he stood up and walked down to the arena floor with James and Remus cheering him on and Lily telling him to be careful. Severus glared at him as he offered his hand to help him up and take his place.
"Are you sure that you can handle her Black?" Severus asked him as he held in nose.
"If you like you could pair up together." Mailin suggested, they both looked at her and she knew that they were not going to be working together.
***
"I can't believe it, the two of you." James was saying again, as he stood beside Severus' bed in the Med Bay; while Sirius tried to get onto his.
"God, I can't do it...it hurts way too much." Sirius said clutching his side.
"Nissa you didn't did you?" The doctor asked her as he handed her a small device.
"Of course not, Mailin in class...I think they were just having a bad day." Nissa told him before she turned to Sirius first. "Aren't you going to lay down on the bed?"
Sirius looked at her, and then tried again to get onto the bed; his sides felt as though they were on fire, he closed his eyes and gritted his teeth as he lifted himself onto the bed and put his feet up and flopped down.
"Are you alright?" Nissa asked him looking down at him concerned that he seemed to be in so much pain.
"Oh I'm fine, just fine thanks." Sirius said holding his side and trying to smile reassuringly.
"I don't mean to be offensive when I say this, but maybe you should do a bit more training; especially against girls." Nissa told him as she ran the healing device over his chest. "You seem to have a problem with fighting them, I'm sure that you would have in classes before; well you should have."
"Why?" Severus asked her from the bed behind.
"I'll see if I can get you paired up like that, it'll help with your training." Nissa told them. "You're all finished."
"What?" Sirius said touching his ribs, they didn't hurt anymore. He sat up quickly and swung his legs over the side of the bed. "Thanks."
"No prob." Nissa answered, before she turned to heal Severus next.
***
After she had finished heeling them both, they went back down because they still had lessons; she had already sent the rest of the group ahead and a few went up to the Med Bay with her.
They all walked along the corridor with Nissa and Lily in front, they were looking at all the doors realising the corridors near enough all looked the same; how the hell were they going to find their way around the school when everything looked the same.
"Oh after this lesson, we'll be going for an early lunch because we've got flying next." Nissa told them before she went into the classroom.
"Finally potions, I'll show them a thing or two." Severus said pushing his way through to get inside behind Nissa.
When he entered the classroom he stopped dead, he had never seen anything like it before. There were benches for tables, with equipment he had never seen before computers, and cabinets full of ingredients.
"So this is your best subject?" Nissa asked him.
"Yes." Severus said, not letting anything show that he had no clue about half the stuff that was in the room.
"Good, why don't you partner with me?" Nissa suggested.
She walked over to a table in front of Mailin and Li; they smiled at him as he followed her over.
"You'll do better next time, first time's always ruff because you never know how far to go." Mailin told him pleasantly enough.
"Yeah right." Severus said distractedly.
"Oh we're supposed to get started, he just went out he had a call." Li told them
"Yeah it sounded important." Mailin said.
"I can do that of course." Severus told them, turning around and picking up the data pad and reading through the instruction; he understood what he had to do part from the technology side but he assumed that Nissa could take care of that part without letting her know that he didn't have a clue about it.
"This is way to much like school, them two being partners and everything; what the hell is going on?" Sirius said getting annoyed like he always did, as Remus started to read through the data pad.
"Calm down will you." James told him. "Remember we are at school. So what do you suggest Padfoot?"
Sirius smiled at him. "Hey Snivellus!"
Severus' hand slip as he turned round and the fire pad set alight igniting, and hitting Nissa in the face as she turned round back around to start. Severus pulled his jacket off as Sirius and Remus ran round the desk, James was pulling his wand out. They couldn't believe that none of her friends were helping.
Sirius was completely panicking as he saw her there, remembering the last time he had seen her. But she just waved her hands and absorbed the flames, she smiled at them all.
"Try and be more careful with the fire, not everyone is like me." Nissa told Severus. "But thanks for the bust, I feel wide awake now."
Severus just stood there speechless but Sirius lost it.
"What the hell was that, it could have killed you; I can't watch that again!" Sirius shouted at her, she just stared at him as the rest of the class went quiet.
"I'm sorry if I scared you." Nissa said. "Right don't panic, but I'll show you something."
"Are you supposed to do that?" Li asked her.
Nissa shrugged and then turned back to Sirius, she went up in flames; he looked horrified as he just stood there unable to do anything, then she reappeared as normal without a scratch on her.
"It doesn't hurt me...well unless that." Nissa said thoughtfully. "But I'm fine, are you...maybe you should sit down."
Sirius went to sit down but there wasn't a chair there for him, so Nissa quickly created one as he sat down; he didn't even realise. He just sat there staring at her.
(A/N:- Sorry but I'm leaving it there for now, hope it wasn't too confusing. If you're worried what they're talking about that they know her from somewhere its from the other story 'The Marauders Beginning', which is going to be a whole series of them going through school up to the beginning of this story. You don't have to read that if you don't want too, you should get the story and what's going on from this; so the choice is yours of course.
Oh the Flying lesson is next, that's going to be interesting when I get it finished for you.
Hope you enjoyed.
Nissa pulled up in the hanger's, Sirius had joined the rest of them half way through the journey leaving her alone to drive; but now that they were at the school he came back up to the front while Lupus was still going for what the training would be.
"So Nis, you can't get around Domnus then?" Sirius asked her.
Nissa looked up at him as she got up and smiled at him. "No I can't, you know what he's like. Normally I might have tried but not after what happened, it's been a hard enough year as it is; I don't even know if he trust's me anymore."
"Of course he truth's you, we all trust don't we Sirius?" Potior told her as they got of the hover bus.
"Well the whole attacking Fortis and Domnus thing, well that did take us by surprise." Sirius said teasing her, she hit him playfully on the arm and walked up the path to the school.
"God look at it, Hogwarts is nothing compared to this." James said looking up at the building; it was a step building with four steps and six levels on each. "I can't believe it."
"I know, I read about it; but this is just unreal." Lily said as she linked his arm, with Sirius and Remus behind them.
"Just remember, the more there is the more there is to explore and you remember what fun that is." Sirius said smiling to himself.
(A/N:- I'm sorry if it's a bit confusing but there's two guy's called Sirius; Sirius Black and Sirius Formosa, I think I'll put the letter of their last name beside their name so you know who I'm writing about ok.)

Nissa smiled to herself while Methos looked unimpressed beside of her as they walked over to the lift, but Nissa stopped suddenly turning back round realising what she was supposed to be doing that morning.
"Sorry, nearly forgot." Nissa said smiling at that. "Sirius, I shouldn't go near him this early in the morning; well not if I want to keep my mind on track."
"Don't you mean any time of day." Mailin Tisten said as she walked over to them, she was tall and slim and had long dark purple black hair up in pig tails with buns on top and then flowed down her back, and her skin was lightly tanned purple.
"Morning Mailin." Nissa said smiling at her. "Made anyone cry yet?"
"Nope but there's still time." Mailin answered. "Anyway we have a couple of classes with these, so we'll see how strong they really are." She stepped up to Sirius only a inch away from his face and then smiled at him completely taken him off guard. "Can't wait until later."
She turned round her hair hitting him in the face, as Nissa laughed and lead them down the corridor while the others went for the lift.
"Don't mind her, she's alright really." Nissa told them. "Just hope that you lot are in shape for later."
"Course we are." Sirius B reassured her.
"Yeah well we'll see." Nissa said smiling over her shoulder at him.
Sirius was paying that much attention to her that he walked straight into Fred and George, something about her just hit him when she smiled at him.
"Sorry guys." Sirius said, and shack his head.
"No prob's." Fred told him.
James and Remus came up either side of him, as they made their way down the corridor.
"So what was that about?" james asked him.
"I don't know really...but then there is something." Sirius answered.
"Would you like to make more sense?" Remus asked him looking behind him at James.
"Doesn't she remind you of someone?" Sirius asked them, but they both just looked at him. "The name, think about it isn't hard."
"Nissa." Lily said from in front. "From school...what have you two lost yours minds?"
"If they're not feeling well I show them where the Med Bay is you like?" Nissa told them over her shoulder as she walked through the doors at the end of the corridor and into a large hall, they all followed her in and over to a group of people.
"Sirius, that's just impossible." Remus told him. "You said that she died."
James stopped them all. "It can't be that impossible, look at me and Lily we were dead...and look where we are as well. Nothing it seems is impossible."
Harry walked up to them wanting to know what was going on. "So what have I missed?"

"You really do need to get a life." James told him.
Nalang stop fighting against Severus and rounded on James, but Nissa and walked up behind them.
"If you don't mind saving the fighting for class, I don't really fancy taking you up to the Med Bay before the tour has even started." Nissa told them. "And I doubt your teachers would be pleased either."
"Fine I'll save it for class." Nalang told her.

"It isn't her then." Remus said with James nodding in argument.

"I guess so." Sirius said looking at her.

Nissa showed them around the school, not all of it because there wasn't enough time to show them around the whole school; she showed them the most important places they would need straight away. And then they went to their first lesson, now Severus had his hands full trying to keep Nalang under control; he was getting quite annoyed with his so called friend.

Severus just stood there as Mailin swung her staff around the top of head and then brought it down and under his legs, he fell to the ground again as she walked around him.
"Come on then, you should get at least get your staff out." Mailin told him, nudging his waist with her foot.
Severus glared at her wondering what she was talking about and then he felt something on his waist, he reached for it and there was his own staff; his was midnight blue and grey. He smiled at her and then got to his feet.
"Now try not to hurt yourself with that, when you try and do magic." Mailin teased him.
Severus swung at her as he tried to cast a spell but she blocked it easily, hitting him in the chest sending him flying back into wall; he slumped to the ground. He rubbed his back and he tried to get to his feet.
"You're really out of shape aren't you?" Mailin said, she went to hit him again but not as hard but he turned round to face her to quickly making her staff connect to her face breaking his nose. "Oh are you alright?"
"Oh my Goddess, Mailin!" Li shouted. "You're never this concerned when you normally train."
"Yeah well, he kind of looks as though one more blow could kill him." Mailin said as she turned round, as Severus sank to the floor holding his nose. "I think that'll do for his lesson."
"Bloody hell, I'm glad that I didn't have that lesson; not that she couldn't have taken me." Sirius whispered to Remus and James on either side of him.
"Hey Mailin, he wants to go next." Bruck told her pointing at Sirius in front of him.
"What? I never said that." Sirius said.
Mailin smiled at him, Sirius couldn't believe it as he stood up and walked down to the arena floor with James and Remus cheering him on and Lily telling him to be careful. Severus glared at him as he offered his hand to help him up and take his place.
"Are you sure that you can handle her Black?" Severus asked him as he held in nose.
"If you like you could pair up together." Mailin suggested, they both looked at her and she knew that they were not going to be working together.

"I can't believe it, the two of you." James was saying again, as he stood beside Severus' bed in the Med Bay; while Sirius tried to get onto his.
"God, I can't do it...it hurts way too much." Sirius said clutching his side.
"Nissa you didn't did you?" The doctor asked her as he handed her a small device.
"Of course not, Mailin in class...I think they were just having a bad day." Nissa told him before she turned to Sirius first. "Aren't you going to lay down on the bed?"
Sirius looked at her, and then tried again to get onto the bed; his sides felt as though they were on fire, he closed his eyes and gritted his teeth as he lifted himself onto the bed and put his feet up and flopped down.
"Are you alright?" Nissa asked him looking down at him concerned that he seemed to be in so much pain.
"Oh I'm fine, just fine thanks." Sirius said holding his side and trying to smile reassuringly.
"I don't mean to be offensive when I say this, but maybe you should do a bit more training; especially against girls." Nissa told him as she ran the healing device over his chest. "You seem to have a problem with fighting them, I'm sure that you would have in classes before; well you should have."
"Why?" Severus asked her from the bed behind.
"I'll see if I can get you paired up like that, it'll help with your training." Nissa told them. "You're all finished."
"What?" Sirius said touching his ribs, they didn't hurt anymore. He sat up quickly and swung his legs over the side of the bed. "Thanks."
"No prob." Nissa answered, before she turned to heal Severus next.

After she had finished heeling them both, they went back down because they still had lessons; she had already sent the rest of the group ahead and a few went up to the Med Bay with her.
They all walked along the corridor with Nissa and Lily in front, they were looking at all the doors realising the corridors near enough all looked the same; how the hell were they going to find their way around the school when everything looked the same.
"Oh after this lesson, we'll be going for an early lunch because we've got flying next." Nissa told them before she went into the classroom.
"Finally potions, I'll show them a thing or two." Severus said pushing his way through to get inside behind Nissa.
When he entered the classroom he stopped dead, he had never seen anything like it before. There were benches for tables, with equipment he had never seen before computers, and cabinets full of ingredients.
"So this is your best subject?" Nissa asked him.
"Yes." Severus said, not letting anything show that he had no clue about half the stuff that was in the room.
"Good, why don't you partner with me?" Nissa suggested.
She walked over to a table in front of Mailin and Li; they smiled at him as he followed her over.
"You'll do better next time, first time's always ruff because you never know how far to go." Mailin told him pleasantly enough.
"Yeah right." Severus said distractedly.
"Oh we're supposed to get started, he just went out he had a call." Li told them
"Yeah it sounded important." Mailin said.
"I can do that of course." Severus told them, turning around and picking up the data pad and reading through the instruction; he understood what he had to do part from the technology side but he assumed that Nissa could take care of that part without letting her know that he didn't have a clue about it.
"This is way to much like school, them two being partners and everything; what the hell is going on?" Sirius said getting annoyed like he always did, as Remus started to read through the data pad.
"Calm down will you." James told him. "Remember we are at school. So what do you suggest Padfoot?"
Sirius smiled at him. "Hey Snivellus!"
Severus' hand slip as he turned round and the fire pad set alight igniting, and hitting Nissa in the face as she turned round back around to start. Severus pulled his jacket off as Sirius and Remus ran round the desk, James was pulling his wand out. They couldn't believe that none of her friends were helping.
Sirius was completely panicking as he saw her there, remembering the last time he had seen her. But she just waved her hands and absorbed the flames, she smiled at them all.
"Try and be more careful with the fire, not everyone is like me." Nissa told Severus. "But thanks for the bust, I feel wide awake now."
Severus just stood there speechless but Sirius lost it.
"What the hell was that, it could have killed you; I can't watch that again!" Sirius shouted at her, she just stared at him as the rest of the class went quiet.
"I'm sorry if I scared you." Nissa said. "Right don't panic, but I'll show you something."
"Are you supposed to do that?" Li asked her.
Nissa shrugged and then turned back to Sirius, she went up in flames; he looked horrified as he just stood there unable to do anything, then she reappeared as normal without a scratch on her.
"It doesn't hurt me...well unless that." Nissa said thoughtfully. "But I'm fine, are you...maybe you should sit down."
Sirius went to sit down but there wasn't a chair there for him, so Nissa quickly created one as he sat down; he didn't even realise. He just sat there staring at her.
(A/N:- Sorry but I'm leaving it there for now, hope it wasn't too confusing. If you're worried what they're talking about that they know her from somewhere its from the other story 'The Marauders Beginning', which is going to be a whole series of them going through school up to the beginning of this story. You don't have to read that if you don't want too, you should get the story and what's going on from this; so the choice is yours of course.
Oh the Flying lesson is next, that's going to be interesting when I get it finished for you.
Hope you enjoyed.
