THE BEGINNING OF FOURTH YEAR Sirius Black stood on the platform waiting for his friends to show up, when he saw a girl with shoulder length dirty blonde hair with brushed in pink streaks, she wore a tight pink v-neck tee-shirt showing some cleavage, and a pair of faded hip hugger flares. She dragged a heavy trunk, Sirius walked over "need some help?" he asked not expecting what happened next. "Sirius!? Oh My Gosh.. I've missed you all so much" she said hugging him. Sirius who didnt like people touching him, froze under the touch. The girl pulled back "Oh Sirius I'm so sorry.. I forgot your phobia.. ugh" the girl said hitting herself in the forehead. "Who.. are you?" Sirius asked, then the girl straight out laughed. "Okay I know I've changed but I expected one of my best friends to know who I was.." she snapped frowning suddenly. "Katy?!" Sirius asked in surprise. "No the boogie man.. honestly Sirius dont goof around like that" Katy said putting her hands on her hips. "Hello Sirius.. starting early with the girlfriends this year huh?" James said walking up to them with his trunk. "You have to be kidding me.. James gosh.." Katy snapped obviously annoyed. "Katy!? Holy fuck.. didnt recognize you" James said. "You both planned this.." Katy said blankly and grabbed her trunk, "No I've got it" Sirius said taking it from her as she followed him down the platform to the baggage car, aware of James staring at her. Katy stopped at a sneering voice, "Ah look its Sirius and his new whore". Katy flipped around and smirked "Say something Snivellus?" James voice beat her too it. "No the question is did he say something he'd like to repeat?" Katy snapped glaring at Snape, who gaped. "Holy shit.. Watson?" he asked. "Oh Honestly! I have not changed that much.. and Sirius putting Snape in on the plan was just wrong.." Katy snapped turning to Sirius who held up his hands defensively. "Wow.. Watson actually looks hot this year" another voice said, Katy flipped on the person ready to cuss them out when she saw Remus "thank the lord someone recognizes me" she said hugging him, Remus laughed "Hey.. how could I forget what my best friend looked like?" he asked, Katy perked a brow at James and Sirius "Why dont you ask them?" she said sweetly. Remus shook his head chuckling and put his bag away as the four friends hopped on the train. "By the way did you figure out the last aspect of the map?" Sirius asked Katy as they walked into a compartment sitting down. "Yup.." Katy said holding it out. Sirius perked a brow at the blank parchment, "You say.. I solemnly swear I am up to no good.. with your wand aimed at it" Katy explained. Sirius did as such and everything appeared, The cover blank but when you opened it the map appeared. "And when you say 'Mischief Managed.. it makes it blank.. you have to make sure you do this otherwise anyone can read it" Katy explained. Sirius did as such and the words disappeared, "Awesome" was his only word. Suddenly a boy slipped into the compartment he was sort of chubby with greasy blonde hair and beady blue eyes. "I'm sorry.." He muttered quickly hiding. Next thing you know Snape and Lucius Malfoy walked in, "Ah.. there you are Pettigrew" Snape said smirking. "Leave him alone" Katy responded simply, Snape looked up to see Katy standing right infront of him. "You're lucky Peter.. otherwise you'd be rat bait" Lucius snapped glaring at Katy then walking off. Katy shut the compartment door locking it, "Sorry about them" she said to the boy who nodded. "Peter Pettigrew" he squeaked, "Ah.. I'm Katy Watson, thats James Potter, Sirius Black and Remus Lupin" she introduced. "I know who you guys are.. the most popular people in school" Peter squeaked. "Excuse me?" Katy said perking a brow, "Uh perhaps.. we forgot to mention.." James said running a hand through his hair, "Now that all of us, except Remus of course are hot, single and on the quidditch team.. we're popular supposedly.." James said. Katy laughed, "Oh god.. I need to go die now.. see ya" she said walking out to find Lily and her other friends. James perked a brow at the door, "Mental that one I'm telling you" he commented then looked to Peter. "So what did Snape and them want you for?" James asked, "They think I'm an animagus" Peter squeaked, "Animagus, Really?! Thats wicked!" Sirius commented. Sirius looked to James, vowing to speak to him tonight. That night, James and Sirius sat in the commons room. They hadnt seen Katy since she walked off on the train. "So.. you think we should become animagus so we can be with Remus when he transforms?" James asked perking a brow, "Its an awesome plan you have to admit" Sirius said, "Yea.. but it'll be difficult, shouldnt we get.." James began, "No.. you cant tell Remus.. or Katy" Sirius snapped. "We cant just not include Katy" James said, "Oh yes we can she wants to hang with her other friends and not us.. besides Remus will be naked in wolf form so will we.. do we want a girl in with us during all that?" Sirius asked, "Well no but.." James began quietly. "What are you guys talking about?" Katy asked walking in with Lily, who headed up to the girls dorms. While Katy walked over to James and Sirius. "Nothing" they both said in unison. "Right" Katy said trying to hide her hurt expression and headed upstairs to bed. From that point on the Marauders werent the same, whenever Katy was around they grew secretive so she wouldnt find out what they were planning, and had begun sneaking off to find out stuff on Animagi. Katy finally exploded on them one day after class.
James, Sirius and Remus left Transfiguration with Peter all crowded together whispering. When Katy came up behind them, "Hey guys, whats up?" she asked smiling. "Nothing" they all four responded quickly in unison. "Al-right then.." Katy said and began to walk off ahead of them then stopped suddenly looking to them, "You know.. I dont mind that you avoid me.. I just think its a little stupid to avoid me because I'm a girl when I cant help it and all of you know I'm just as capable of doing things as you are!" Katy snapped glaring at them, then turned storming off with tears threatening to stream down her face she huried off to the girls lavatory. Sirius stared at the floor as James, Remus and even Peter glared at him.

"Did the Marauders and Katy break up after that?" Harry asked suddenly, both Remus and Snape stopped arguing and looked over at him. Remus nodded solemnly, as Snape rolled his eyes "Is that before Kojak?" Snape asked Remus who nodded again. "Kojak?" Harry asked, "Read" Snape and Remus said in unison.
