The light streamed in through the windows and Blue threw her hands over her eyes to shield them.
"Too much sun," she moaned as she hid her face.
"What time did you get to bed?" Blue heard Arabella chuckle as she drew the curtains closed.
"Huh?" Blue squeaked as she realised that she was, in fact, lying in her own bed.
"Lily and I stayed up really late and when we went to bed, you still weren't back," she said, sitting down on Blue's bed.
"To tell the truth, the last thing I remember about last night was talking to Remus and then-"
"I see," Arabella cooed, running a hand through her curly ash blond hair.
"Bella, it's not what you think, really. We were talking and then, I fell asleep," Blue said, a little puzzled.
"Well, let's go down to breakfast and ask Remus for some answers eh?" she smiled.
Blue pulled the covers away from her and reluctantly got out of bed. She got dressed into her Hogwarts robes and as she was brushing her hair and looking in the mirror, Lucius' words came back to haunt her 'exactly what I expected'. The words rang so clearly in her mind and she didn't even notice her brush slip silently out of her hands. So he knows, she thought to herself. She felt her anger starting to build up inside her and when she looked at her reflection again, it started to swirl round and round and her eyes glowed a deep, dark blue.
"Blue, you okay?" Came Arabella's voice.
"I'm fine," she looked back at the mirror and her reflection was normal again.
"So how about that breakfast then?" Blue asked placing a hairpin in her hair.
"Good idea," Arabella said smiling. She opened the portrait and stepped out first with Blue following behind her. Should I tell them? Would it make a difference? She thought over and over again as her and Arabella walked down to breakfast. As they entered the hall, Arabella hooked her arm into Blue's and they walked to the Gryffindor table where everyone was already seated.
"Morning," Sirius said through a mouthful of toast. Blue smiled at everyone and as she gazed round the table, saw that there was an extra face among them.
"This is Peter Pettigrew, Blue," James said, noticing her expression.
"Hi, Blue Adams," she said politely, but to her utmost surprise he stared wide-eyed at her and then scrambled away from the table as fast his little legs could carry him.
"Rude," Arabella said, looking at him scurry away.
"What was that all about?" Sirius asked very confused.
"No idea," Blue lied. He probably knows too. I can't tell them, not now. She thought as she took a seat next to Lily.
"Ready for class?" Lily asked her enthusiastically.
"I guess. I hope I won't be too far behind though. The school I came from taught different things."
"Well you haven't had class yet. You never know. I doubt the methods of teaching are that different," Lily smiled as she handed Blue her timetable.
"Thanx," Blue muttered.
She placed her timetable in-between her lips and raised her hands to fix her hairpin that had slipped out. But her timetable slipped out of her mouth and fluttered down onto the ground. She bent to pick it up and as she put her hand on it, another person put their hand on top of hers. It was so warm and she looked up to see Remus staring at her.
"Morning," he smiled and Blue thought she was going to melt.
"Hi," she said, as she pushed the hair out of her eyes.
"Ready for your first day?"
"I think. Listen, last night-"
"I carried you up to your bed, couldn't just leave you there," he grinned.
"Oh, right," she felt her cheeks getting hot and she immediately hung her head. She was so glad when Sirius spoke cause it gave her a reason to look up again.
"This school really wants to kill us!" he yelled as he glanced at his timetable.
"Double potions first lesson, with the Slytherins!" Arabella gasped, her curly hair bouncing as she talked.
"Exactly what I meant. James, I've been thinking up a way to get Professor Baldwin back for what he did to us last year. Remus! Come here!" Sirius called from the other end of the table.
"I'll see you at potions," he said to Blue as he walked to the other end of the table.
"Well Blue, Bella, let's leave the men to talk," Lily said sarcastically as she hit James on the back of the head.
"I will get you back!" He called after her.
"I'll be waiting," Lily said to him as all three of them disappeared out the hall. James got so excited he almost jumped up from the table, but Sirius' voice brought him back to his senses.
"Pay attention James, stop thinking with your-"
"Sirius is this going to take all day?" Remus said sternly.
"Someone's desperate to get to potions," Sirius replied.
"It's just that-" But before he could finish Blue came rushing back into the dinning room.
"Excuse me," she said as she stretched a hand past Remus, to where her hairpin was lying. Before she walked away she gave Remus a little smile and he grinned from ear to ear. Sirius saw this very clearly.
"By the way Remus old pal, where were you last night?" he asked suspiciously.
"Couldn't sleep," was all Remus said.
"I see." Sirius nodded at James, both of whom knew perfectly well why their friend had a grin wider than the Amazon River on his face.
*Authors Notes* I'm starting to like this stories more and more every time I write a chapter!! It's so cool...anyway please comment on my story, I love to hear what you guys think. As usual, J.K. Rowling owns everything in the story (except for Blue) and I just I love writing! :) Oh by the way, I'm really trying to make my chapters longer, but when I get inspiration I just have to write, and if my inspiration lasts for two pages, then so be it! :)
