The next morning Sophia woke up especially groggy. Lily was mumbling things in her sleep so Sophia decided to wake her up...in her own way. Grinning widely, she walked over to the bed, pulled away the curtains and began beating Lily with a pillow. Lily sat up with a start and looked over at her attacker, seeing that it was Sophia, she took it good naturedly and retaliated with her own pillow. After a few moments, Sophia gave up and went into the bathroom. She quickly showered and left her hair alone. The dark hair hung in wet ringlets down her back, and for once Sophia did not care. For the past six years, she had been known as the girl who cared only for her looks. Perhaps that is why she and Eric were so "good" together, because like her, Eric had the reputation of caring only for his looks. While that reputation was mistaken, he cared for two things: his looks and Sophia. Sophia sighed at the thought of him, he was extremely vain. He was handsome, but Eric never owned her heart like he wanted, nor like she wanted him too. Finally she had given up realizing the uselessness of an empty feeling relationship. She walked over to her trunk and changed into her cloaks and then walked out into the common room. There she saw James, Sirius, and Peter sitting in the large overstuffed clothe chairs. She walked over to them.
Sirius looked up and saw Sophia walking towards them. Inwardly his jaw dropped, but he kept up his non caring façade. "Morning Sophia."
"Morning guys. Have a good rest."
"Yeah, as always, I always miss the beds when I leave."
"That's great Sirius, you don't miss the people, or the scenery, or the action of it all, no, you miss the beds."
Sirius shrugged and all of them laughed. Lily walked downstairs a minute later and James had to cough in order not to stare at her. Sophia smiled wistfully, just once she wished someone would look at her the way James looked at Lily, and she hated the way Lily tried to act as if nothing was there. Sophia walked over to the window and stared out at the Quidditch field. "Hey James, how do you think the season will go?"
"Hopefully very well, the team tryouts are tomorrow, and I'm excited."
"Ha. I'm sure."
She continued to look out the window. It was a gorgeous day. A few minutes later Remus walked down the stairs. Sophia pretended not to notice and kept her glare on the grass below them. Yet when Remus walked up to her, she could not ignore him anymore.
"Hey Sophia..."
"Yeah Remus?"
"I just want to apologize; I may have...insinuated some things that I didn't mean."
"You meant them, but thank you anyway. Remus, I don't treat muggles badly, and the only reason I broke Petunia's nose is because she's a rude bitch."
Remus nodded but made sure his eyes relayed the message that, that was not a good enough reason. "Well I just wanted to say that. Have a good day."
"Yeah, you too." Sophia said and walked away. Remus got a whiff of her shampoo which was especially strong since her hair was wet. It smelled of freesia, the scent Sophia had always made her own. She looked softer this morning Remus realized. She had not a drop of makeup on and she hadn't even bothered to dry her hair. Remus knew she was beautiful, but he had to admit even to himself that she was much lovelier today then he had ever seen her.
'Stop it Remus, you can't have her or anyone.' Remus thought to himself. He then was once again determined to find only disgust in Sophia. Nothing better would save him from getting hurt by a girl. He walked over to where the remaining Marauders were seated and sat down next to James. "Why are you and Lily still here? Don't you two have a dorm of your own?"
"Yeah, but Dumbledore said they were making "improvements" to it, supposedly we're supposed to be able to move in today."
Sirius spoke up, "Gasp, the Marauders are forever broken up," then in a more serious tone, "all because little James here had to be Head Boy."
"At least my Head Girl is nice looking." James said appreciatively.
"I heard that Potter." Lily said firmly.
James looked over to Lily and said directly and in a serious tone, "Why don't you like me Evans?"
"I-what?" Lily stammered.
"I asked," James said, "why don't you like me?"
"Is it not obvious?" Lily asked.
"Apparently not, otherwise I would know."
"Because you're rude, egotistical, and just plain mean to those you may not necessarily like."
"And how would you know what I'm like Lily, you never get past your stubborn judgments to realize that I may just be a nice guy." James said while standing up.
"You? Nice? I think you're mistaken. Between you and Sirius, there is enough hot air in this castle to turn it into a hot air balloon!" Lily said standing up as well, facing his challenge.
Sophia looked between the two, and realizing to herself that a fight may be funny, she should probably step in. "Children..." the two continued to argue, she tried again. "Children..." she got no response, finally getting frustrated, she walked over to a table dragged it over then stood up on it and screamed, "CHILDREN!" Lily and James immediately turned to the maternal tone that boomed before them. Sophia smiled graciously. "Thank you, now I know how much you two really like arguing, but there isn't a point to this argument."
"Oh yes there is!" Lily and James said in unison.
"You know, you two might like each other a lot more if you'd give each other a break. The fact is, you two are more alike than you think, so either shut up and learn to play nice, or don't play at all!" Sophia said sternly. Sirius, Remus, and Peter all started clapping.
"Yes mom." Lily said mockingly, though grinning. Sophia smiled too.
"Okay now help me down."
"Yes madam." James said while offering her his hand and helping her jump off the table. Suddenly Peter's stomach growled. James laughed, "Hey Wormtail, does your stomach ever fill?"
Peter sheepishly grinned, "I guess not, may we go feed it?" He asked humbly.
Sophia, having always felt bad for Peter, said, "Of course Pete, let's go!" And she looped her arm through his. Lily walked on the other side of Sophia and Remus, Sirius, and James walked behind the three. Both James and Sirius had grown accustomed to Sophia's kindness to Peter, and frankly they thought it was endearing. Peter was in no way shape or form like James, Sirius, or even Remus. He was the overweight, silent type. His animal shape of a rat even matched his form. His face came together in a rodent shaped way, and because of that most people steered clear from him. Everyone made fun of him, and when they were not making fun of Wormtail, they were making fun of Snape. Sophia and Lily both hated it, and especially hated it when James or Sirius would pick on others. Remus however, never understood why Sophia was so kind to Peter. She was one of the "popular" girls of the school as was Lily. But she never really noticed it. That was one of the many reasons Remus found it hard to loathe her. How can you hate something that is so kind?
