A/N ok. I believe that I have skipped a year or two, because I want this to be in fourth year. I don't know why. I just do. Oh. And reviews would be nice… hint, and preferably from ppl I don't know. It just isn't the same to get reviews from people I already know and begged to come and read my story. Sorry you guys, your all kind of biased judges in my favor.
Disclaimer: I own not, you sue not.
Oh and Scarlett is kinda a little bit from Margaret Mitchell's Gone with the Wind. You could call her the inspiration. Her looks for example, and some of her personality. SOME. The rest you don't recognize is mine. And yes that does mean that Tai is mine, my bad reviewer. I guess that's what they meant.
Anyway. On with the show.
Tai reached platform 9 ¾ with eagerness, looking forward to seeing all of her friends. When she got through the magical barrier, the first people she saw were the same group of girls that she had pushed her trunk at (on accident, of course…) in first year, except they seemed to have grown in number. Sure enough, there were Sirius and James in the midst of the gaggle of girls that were all cooing over them. Tai was a little shocked. Sirius and James had laughed themselves silly at that same group of girls, when they were cooing over Gilderoy Lockhart and Gideon Prewitt. It looked like times had definitely changed.
Sirius was practically high off of all of the attention. He loved to have people laugh at his jokes, and these girls seemed to laugh at whatever he said no matter how stupid it was. Sirius had the feeling that he could have told these girls that their cat had died and they would have laughed, just because he or James had said it. Sirius could feel someone's eyes on him. He looked up and to his delight at first, he saw Tai. When he saw that she was scowling at him, his delight quickly changed to worriedness. He threw caution to the winds and smiled and waved at her as if in a trance. He had always thought she was pretty. But now she was beautiful. To his great disappointment, however, she didn't return his greeting. Instead she turned on her heel and flounced over too Tim Finnagan and started talking to him flirtatiously.
(a/n: I wrote this first section in a particularly boring and uninspiring W. Geo class. And I got caught. Story of my life recently. Sorry I just had to give a little 'background' info. Back to story)
Tai was upset. How dare Sirius act like he could just beckon he and she would just throw herself at his feet like all of those complete bimbos. To make matters worse, all of the girls in Sirius' and James little fan club (or as Lilly called them the "I-throw- myself-at-their-feet-and-am-proud-of-it-clique.") were all glaring at her. Like it was her fault that Sirius had singled her out. She was distracted by someone energetically poking he shoulder. 'ouch' She turned around to find Scarlett grinning. She took a deep breath, and before Tai could say hi, she said quickly "how was your summer?-Mine was excellent!-When we were on holiday in Mexico, Remus' family was there-and then we hung out all summer-and now I think I like him!" She caught her breath as Tai backed up. "wow. Ok. Talk waaaaaaay slower. Lather, rinse and repeat. Got it." Scarlett sighed impatiently. "ok Tai. To put this simply: Number One: I like Remus-" "WHAT!" Lilly shreiked from behind them. Her hair was up in a French twist with curls spilling out and she had a great tan. She also looked as though she had a desperate need for gossip. And from what Tai could gather from Scarlett, that particular need was soon to be granted. After Anita arrived, hugs were exchanged and they were on the train, Scarlett could finally tell her closest friends about her and Remus liking each other. And by then Tai had completely forgotten about Sirius Black and his evil fan club.
It was not so for Sirius. Even after witnessing Tai and her friends complete scream fest, he was still in a daze. James had to push him onto the train. (He couldn't lead him by his arm like a normal person because Elena McMillan and various other member of her "we 'heart' boys club" were hanging off of it.
Somehow, Elena and her cronies got it situated so that Sirius, James and Remus, who had shown up with a rather dazed look, and Peter who just showed up, were all sitting in the same compartment as them. Sirius was sick of it. If Melissa said "ooooooh Sirius" one more time, he was going to take back his promise to Tai from the year before to never prank another one of her friends again. Actually, come to think of it, Elena and Melissa were probably not really Tai's greatest friends, so a simple sleeping charm would be in order. Sirius pulled out his wand. It was like James had read his mind, because soon his wand was out as well. Since Peter did whatever James and Sirius did, his wand was out too, but he probably wouldn't accomplish much anyway. Remus even came out of his daze to help as well. Sirius was grateful for his support. Not just because Remus was actually going to inflict potential embarrassment on a fellow student, but because he did the best Sleepicio charm ever. Sirius was a little surprised that the obviously completely clueless girls babbled on, totally oblivious to the fact that their conquests had their wands pointed at them. Within seconds, they were asleep. James and Remus, with Peter following naturally, walked out of the compartment without a second glance. Sirius however wasn't quite content. He lingered behind, and quickly charmed it so their bodies were a shocking purple background, with aqua polka dots that moved, making any one that looked at them for more than two seconds extremely dizzy. Feeling very content with his work, Sirius left without a single trace of guilt. After all, he reasoned, it was mostly these girls faults that Tai was irritable with him.
When Lilly sat down with the rest of the girls in her dormitory with the rest of her friends, she noticed with a mixed feeling of anticipation and dread that the four mauraders (as they had come to be called) had rather large smirks on their faces. To Lilly it seemed that Potter had the biggest smirk, because he stuck out to Lilly for some reason. In reality, Sirius' eye had the brightest gleam in it. She didn't' have long to wait ot see what they had planned. Soon a bumble of Hufflepuff girls that looked a little 'loose' came in late. Purple skinned girls. Lilly did a double take. She instantly felt nauseatingly dizzy when the full impact of the flamboyantly purple and aqua polka dotted girls came into full view. There was a piercing shriek as the ancient divination teacher, Professor Trewlaney stood up. "It is a sign! A sign!-" she wailed. At this point, Professor Dumbledore stood up and interrupted her, a twinkle in his eye. "A sign that we will be even more amused over the next troubled years."
