First Day

"Christine! Christine, wake up! It's morning! Time for our classes!"

"Andrea…. It's too early. We don't have classes for another hour or so…"

"No come on! O can't wait any longer. Lily's already up and Natasha is… well lets just say she wont get up for anyone. C'mon please?"

"Fine I'm up, I'm up!"

Andrea rushed over to the curtains and threw them away from each other. She opened the window and greeted the morning with a fresh, deep breath. "How many cups of coffee have you had this morning?"

"About….. three." Andrea jumped on Christine's bed, eyes wide awake and ready to go.

"One word………..decaffe." (A/N: like decaffeine coffee.)

"Hey guys!" Andrea bounced into the Great Hall and sat down next to Remus. "What's up?" Sirius looked up from his full plate and gave her a how-are-you-so-hyper-this-early-in-the-morning? look. "Three cups of coffee. I was kinda excited about classes today."

"Glad to see I'm not the only one who likes studying." Remus smiled at Andrea.

"Well, I don't like studying all that much, I just want to meet all my teachers and get a full experience of Hogwarts. This is going to be fun!"

"Where are the other chicks?" James took a swig of his pumpkin juice and wiped the remaining fluid on his mouth on the back of his shirt sleeve.

"The other girls are still getting ready. They said they're going to get a quick breakfast a little later."

Peter walked into the Hall and walked up to the four students. He plopped into the chair next to Andrea and said, "I hate mornings." He immediately filled his plate with ten servings of everything on the table. The other's looked at him for a while then continued on with their discussion.

"So are you guys done yet?" Andrea smiled perkily and looked at the gaping faces of the Marauders.

As the Marauders and Andrea were walking down the hall they were joined by Lily, Christine and Natasha. "What do you guys have first?" They all looked at their schedules. Everyone had Transfiguration II except for Peter and Natasha who had Defense Against the Dark Arts I. "They needed a little extra help last year but I guess they still didn't make it." Everyone laughed heartily and made their way to Professor McGonagall's room.

"Welcome to Transfiguration II. Here we will be doing a lot more experiments and transforming than last year and we'll be doing a lot less studying." The students gave a whoop! and quieted down as soon as the professor gave them a menacing glare. "As a result, I will expect you all to be a lot more responsible and respect the animals and your peers (she looked at Malfoy, Potter, and Black) for that matter." Andrea looked about the room and noticed goblets with tails, candles with weird shapes, many quills with feathers growing out of them and many more disasters of the Transfiguration classes.

Lily and Andrea walked down to Potions class alone, as the boys were playing a prank on a couple of the Slytherins. "Andrea… can I ask you a question?"

Without thinking, Andrea spoke a cheerful, "Shoot!"

"Do you think you might have feelings for Potter?"

"Potter? No way. Why would you think that? Geese Lily no. I would never do….-" shit I did it again. I hope she doesn't notice almost did that.

"Well, you've been flirting with him a lot. And at the Welcome back dinner you wrapped your arms around him instead of Black, so obviously you had him on your mind."

"Um…..no… I just… Why? You jealous?" Andrea knew this would get Lily off her back the moment she said it.

"Me? Jealous? No, no, no. I was just wondering." Truth be told, Andrea did have the slightest feelings for James however she wouldn't admit that to his future wife! I have to stay on task. I can't get mixed up with James, or he and Lily might never get together and have Harry. Then the Dark Lord might never go away!

Andrea's morning classes went the same way: lecture about how they were entering a higher level of that class and would be expected to study more, be responsible and careful around all objects. With each passing hour Andrea got more bored and by lunch, she couldn't take any more classes.

"I can't take anymore classes! It's driving me insane!"

"Coffee worn off?" Sirius smiled at Andrea and then quickly dug into his food.

"I just want to collapse."

"I remember my first day here. I was frightfully scared. After all my classes I just wanted to get in bed and lie there till I was dead." Lily thought back to her first year.

"That didn't stop you from arguing with me." James gave Lily a disgusting glare.

"Don't you glare at me Potter."

"Don't tell me what to do!"

"I'll tell you what to do if I want to tell you what to do!"

"Now wait guys- guys-!" Andrea desperately tried to calm the pair down. Christine told Andrea, "Just let it happen. It's no use trying to calm them down." Andrea looked at Dumbledore. He gave a just-let-it-happen kind of nod and Andrea sat down.

"So what's next?" Christine attempted to restore order at their table.

"I think we have-"

"Defense Against the Dark Arts! Yes!" James and Sirius high-fived each other.

"Great. Let's see… we have it with the Hufflepuffs. They are truly nice." Remus gave Andrea a reassuring look.

"Well, at least no more Slytherins for the day. (She shivers slightly) I don't like them very much."

"Welcome to Defense Against the Dark Arts. My name is Professor Mculinary. This class will probably end up saving your life one day. I suspect from your previous classes they have given you the overview on how you should be more responsible this year?"

The class gave a group, "Yes."

"Good then. Let's get started on reviewing from last year. Please take out your wands and block the spell I throw at you. Immendious!" A tall, muscular professor pointed his wand a timid Hufflepuff. Of course she wasn't expecting this so she immediately started dancing like a monkey around the room. Everyone had a good laugh before the professor returned the student to her original state. "Ok now that everyone has seen the effects of the spell and know I will throw them at anyone at any given moment, IMMENDIOUS!" He pointed at a Gryffindor who immediately shouted, "ADSIDEO." The spell shot back at the Professor however he ducked and it hit the wall. "Good. Put more anger into it and it will shoot back so fast, your opponent won't know what hit him or her. IMMENDIOUS!" Andrea suddenly saw a flash of green lightning shooting fast towards her. "ADSIDEO!" Lily shot her blocking spell at the spell that was about to hit Andrea. "Excuse me, that spell was meant for the student at your right Miss…… Evans."

"Sorry Professor, but Andrea doesn't know how to block spells yet. I haven't caught her up on that yet."

"Ok Miss Evans. But it would be a good idea to teach her soon. There are many students here who are willing to hex someone if they know the other person is at a disadvantage."

The lesson continued like this until it was time to leave. The only homework was to practice the blocking spells and to get angry and then calm yourself down. Many students thought it was a stupid homework assignment but it would, "help you learn to control your anger so you don't blow someone's head off while trying to heal them."

"That was interesting. He's really cool!" Andrea, Christine, Lily, and Natasha walked down to their charms class.

"Professor Mculinary? Yea…he's dreamy." Christine looked up at the ceiling and held her heart.

"Well don't get your hopes up girls. I heard he's already got a wife and two kids!" Natasha said with a smile on her face.

"Well, if my resources are right he's only got a girlfriend so far. But he might propose soon. We'll just have to see." Lily chuckled at the girls who were swooning over the gorgeous professor. "C'mon, Charms is down this way."

"Wait, you're going to Charms? I have Muggle Studies!"

"That's impossible Andrea. You are a Muggle. No offense." Lily looked at her friend in worry.

"Yea they wouldn't put you in a class that you already know so much about." Christine reassured Andrea.

"Why don't you go down to Professor Dumbledore?" Natasha suggested.

"You're right. All of you are right. I'll go down tonight because I don't feel like walking all he way down to his office. Thanks guys, I don't know what I'd do without you." They shared a quick group hug before rushing off into the South wing.

Andrea paused at the doorway before stepping inside. This is it. I'm on my own now. I have to find friends. Or maybe I can skip the whole finding friends thing, because I'm going to straight this out with Dumbledore later. Yea.

Andrea looked into the small room with desks grouped into six. "Welcome to your first Muggle Studies class. I am passing out name tags. Instead of learning your names like all the other teachers, I will rely on these." The stern teacher passed out folded up oat tags. "Please write you first and last name on both sides of the card. You will not be using you quills. Instead use these colored writing tools."

Andrea looked at the students she had sat next to. "Doesn't she mean markers?"

"Shhhh!" was all Andrea got as a reply.

A piece of oak tag and a purple 'colored writing tool' flew at Andrea and she wrote down her name. She decided that it would be better to talk to the professor after class. Oh, this is going to be a long period.

"Alright everyone, pass up your cards. Have one person in each group collect them and hand them to me." Every student at Andrea's table looked at her, and started passing their cards to her.

"Okay, okay I'll go up." She walked up to the professor and handed her the cards. She sat back down and was surprised to find there was a nametag with another name on her desk.

"Do not touch the nametags that are on your desks. These are your assigned seats. I mixed the cards randomly and set them upon each desk. Now hurry up and find yours." The students rushed to find their own nametag. Andrea was close to tears because she didn't know one person in the class. Once everyone was at their seats, the professor instructed the class to take out their Muggle Studies books and read to page 20. Andrea looked at her table once again and didn't see anyone she knew. If she didn't know any better, she would have sworn there wasn't anyone from Gryffindor!

Suddenly she heard a familiar laugh. "Yea, whatever mate. I bet you five galleons she won't."

Andrea turned around to see Sirius and James. "Hey! We thought you'd never notice!"

"You should have tapped me on the shoulder or something. I was afraid I'd be so lonely here."

"Are you okay?" Sirius was close enough so he leaned in closer to see Andrea's eyes were watering.

"Yea I'm fine. I was just scared because Lily, Christine and Natasha are all in Charms. And didn't know anyone here. Were you betting on me?"

"Er… he was… not me."

"Shut up James!" Sirius smacked James on the back of his head. "You were betting just as much as I was." James ruffled his hair and looked apologetically at Andrea.

"So, how come you're here? I thought you were a muggle."
