Thank you so much for the reviews everyone.
Just a quick note, I'm so sorry about the Edinburgh spelling error. I'm from Canada and not too familiar with English town names. So sorry if I've offended anyone.
Oh and by the way a whole row of !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! is like a page break.

When Sirius awoke the next morning his stomach was filled with butterflies. He was extremely nervous about meeting Auria and showing her around the Gryffindor parts of the school. Pulling back the curtain Sirius got up and dressed. It was very early and it was still dark in the dormitory. As he quietly opened the door he stopped and listened to make sure his friends were still asleep. Assured that they were he went down into the dark unlit common room to wait for Auria. For the next hour he paced back and forth thinking of things to talk to her about and how to tenderly bring up the subject of Snape. Sirius was so lost in his thoughts that he did not see her emerge from her own dormitory room. It was only when he heard a footstep on the staircase did he turn around.
Auria was standing in the middle of the staircase dressed in her new Gryffindor robes. Sirius could not help but stare. She looked like an angel, framed against the growing sunlight that poured through the window. Her hair glowed golden and her skin looked soft and smooth in the light. She was the most beautiful girl Sirius had ever seen, even with the hint of sadness that lingered in her bright blue eyes. Auria smiled shyly at him.
"What?" she asked looking around.
Sirius didn't realize that he had been staring open mouthed at her.
"Um, nothing," he said, quickly adverting his eyes towards the unlit fireplace. "I'll show you around now.
"Ok" she replied walking down the rest of the stairs.
It took them nearly 45 minutes to reach the Great Hall for breakfast. Sirius had insisted upon showing her all the shortcuts, occasionally boasting that he himself had discovered several of them. As they walked they discussed quidditch teams, school courses and other students. However, whenever the conversation would veer towards Snape Auria would quickly change the topic.
Auria's first day in Gryffindor passes rather uneventfully, except for James accidentally transfiguring his iguana into a fire-breathing cupboard. By the end of September a general pattern had evolved. All most everyday the Marauder's would pull pranks and at least once a week one would have detention. Every night, Auria would leave for about half and hour to visit her friends in the Ravenclaw common room. Auria hung out with the Lily and the girls more then the boys and it was evident that she was still a little depressed about her father. However she and Sirius got along very well, and although he wanted to ask her out he thought it might be too soon after her father's death for her to think about dating. He decided, with a great deal of difficulty, that he would just have to wait for the right time.
One thing that did change was Auria's attitude towards Snape. To Sirius' delight he noticed that she would give him a look of ultimate loathing every time she saw him. Whenever the Marauder's would make fun of him she did not object and when they hexed him she would laugh along with them. Snape would often ask Auria, when he passed her in the hall, if he could speak with her privately but she would always refuse. The first couple of times he asked she refused him politely, but by the third time she would just give him an icy cold "no." Sirius began to wonder what could have possibly happen on that date and why Auria suddenly hated Snape so much.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At the beginning of October, their little pattern changed dramatically. Auria was getting tired of staying in the common room studying with the girls while the boys snuck off to pull pranks. One day, as she was heading towards the dormitory to get her homework, she overheard the boys planning their next prank on Filch.
"Ok, so we set the Dung bomb in the Astronomy tower to lour him from his office" said James in a hushed voice.
"Then we break into the office and pour a little of this" said Sirius holding up a small vial filled with blue liquid. "Into his drink and wait," the last part said, with what Auria thought, was a very sexy grin.
"Are we going to do this tonight, before dinner?" asked Lupin.
"Yup" replied James and Sirius in unison.
"Are you sure we won't get caught?" squeaked Wormtail.
"Of course we won't get caught, we hardly ever do," replied Sirius.
"Alright, any one have any more questions?" asked James.
"Can I come?" asked a voice behind them.
They all spun around to see Auria standing there with a big grin on her face. The boys all exchanged nervous glances except for Sirius who answered right away.
"Sure you can come," he said brightly. "No wait" said James quickly.
"For what?" Sirius snapped.
"One second" Lupin said politly to Auria. "Let us talk about it amongst ourselves first."
"Ok" she said nodding. She stood back a bit and waited while they went into huddle formation to talk. There was a lot of arguing, mostly coming from Sirius. Auria secretly hoped that he was fighting for her. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity they turned to face her.
"Alright" said James. "You can come."
"Great" said Auria, looking happier then Sirius had ever seen her.
Will the prank go ok? Or will Auria mess it up?
I'm going away for a couple for days. I'll write more when I come back.
