The fact that Blue was a mind controller swept the school in half a lesson and by the end of the third day, everybody knew. Sirius and James thought the whole thing was quite amusing.

"Okay, so when he comes around the corner, you- er- zap him, or whatever and we'll stick the sign to his back," Sirius kept saying as they walked from Transfiguration.
"I think if you tell me one more time, my head's going to explode," Blue sighed.
"We can't do it today Sirius!" James suddenly said, stopping dead in his tracks.
"Why?"
"Quidditch practice," James said, like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Oh! Right! I'm sorry Blue we'll have to postpone our little adventure for another time."
"Another plan to make Professor Baldwin look like an idiot?" Remus' said as came round the corner with Peter trailing behind him.
"You guessed it buddy. Hey Remus, you coming to Quidditch practice? We need to fill some spots, because of all the seventh years that left," Sirius said.
"I just might. Blue you gonna come?" he asked, turning to her.
"Well, I've never been much of a flyer, but, I'll give it a try," she smiled.

"Hi Blue," Peter said timidly from behind Remus.
"Oh hello Peter."
"Listen, Blue, I'm very sorry for acting weird around you but- I thought- you-"
"It's okay, really don't worry," she said to him. Peter looked so relieved that he relaxed his hunched shoulders and actually looked at her properly for the first time.
"Well, I have to meet Arabella in the library. I guess I'll see you guys at Quidditch practice this afternoon then," she smiled at all of them.
"Bye," they all chirped at the same time. When Blue arrived at the library, Arabella was already seated, playing, as she always did, with perfectly pampered hair.

"Hey Bella," Blue said, as she put her books down on the table.
"Hi Blue," Arabella replied, looking a little anxious.
"So, what's the big secret calling me here?" Blue said sarcastically.
"Well, I've tried talking to Lily about this, but she doesn't get it. Maybe it's because James understands her-"
"Bella is this going anywhere?" Blue said puzzled.
"Yes. I need some info, and a big favour. If you don't want to I understand but-"
"What is it?" Blue interrupted.
"Has Sirius ever mentioned me? Ever?"
"Of course he has."
"In a friendly way a suppose," she said dimly.
"Well he's always saying 'Bella wouldn't do it like that' or 'why doesn't Bella do Muggle Studies, I don't know what this is'"
"He would say that," she sighed.
"I'm sensing major stress vibes from your side of the room," Blue said imitating Professor Trelawney. Arabella gave a little chuckle and lightened up again.

Then suddenly she turned her head and looked at the bookshelf suspiciously.
"What's wrong?" Blue asked her.
"Nothing. I thought I heard something."
"Anyway, it's Quidditch practice this afternoon and Sirius and going to be there. Why don't you come and bring Lily as well," Blue suggested.
"She's going anyway to watch her beloved James."
"So why don't you come and watch your beloved Sirius," Blue said simply. Arabella opened her mouth to argue but shut it when she realised Blue was right.
"Okay, I'll come. Are you coming?"
"I'm trying out for the team, that's going to be a joke," she laughed, picking up her books and getting reading to leave.
"Well, you never know. You might turn out to be good," Arabella said believingly, walking behind her.
"Whatever. I've only ridden a broom once, at that's when I was in India. Why did I ever agree to this," she whined. Arabella put an arm around her shoulder and they walked out muttering to each other. Neither of the girls noticed Severus Snape slip out from behind the bookcase they had been sitting in front of, grinning evilly to himself.


*Authors Notes* If you don't get why he's grinning evilly, you'll just have to wait and find out! WOW! Everyone has been so amazing when it comes to reviewing! Thanx a lot to all you people who do review, you are every author's dream. They were a few questions I quickly want to answer:

*To Pedagogue, fine so Blue is a pretty weird name but I met this girl the other day and her name was Blue so I guess you could say it was inspired by her. (She was born in England, but grew up in India, just a little bit of info!) Another thing, I thought Arabella and Lucius would fit in nicely with my plot so there! Hee hee! :) Thanx for reviewing by the way.

*To Ecco, if you read the second line of the sixth chapter you'll realise that the Map wasn't complete and I seriously don't get why someone would go around calling a werewolf, Moony in public! But that's just my opinion! :)

*To RavenNat, thanx for the tip!

*To Rons hottie (aka jessie low), you totally read my mind about the 'Sirius love thing' and yes it is a tad freaky that she killed her friend but you'll find out a little more about why she did it, in detail later on. I promise!

*And finally, to Svolkame. Yes she is a mind controller and I'm busy writing a chapter to explain about, how she got it, and all that. No it's not a fluke and I think Remus will tell her when he's ready! :)

You guys are all *stars*!
