Disclaimer- I own none of the characters except, Siren who I'm very proud of. Becca, Elsie, Stephanie, Betty, and some more I can't think of right now. I own nothing written in the Harry Potter books, how about that?
Please review, and thanks to everyone one who has reviewed thus far. The rating is going to stay the same I think for this chapter might go up in the future to be safe, but nothing really bad. I was at Homecoming Dance last night in it was soooo much fun. And just to say, almost every fanfic that I read has Sirius, Remus and Severus Snape being gay, not that thats a problem, but its too overdone and I dont think Sirius is gay so it wont be done in my fanfic, a change from most! But is wont be a mushy fanfic about Sirius falling in love with a mary-sue so dont worry, sirius will love a girl who is his equal and shows it in everyway. But i wont get to indepth and ruin the whole story. REVIEW PLEASE. THANKS ! And just to note when I refer to Lily or Siren, Becca or Addies 'friends' that means the immediate four, Addie. Lily. Becca. Siren.

Chapter 7
Siren, Lily, Addie and Becca all made their way disgruntingly from the train into a carriage that would take them up to Hogwarts. The cold, icy rain was coming down in blinding sheets and none envied the first years. Siren was angry at having the whole of Hogwarts watching the infamous Sirius Black and his worst enemy, Siren, to see who would win out of Blacks dare. Lily was'nt to happy about telling James and everyone she really did'nt hate him and on top of that him trying to kiss her all of the time, she also did'nt like the fact that they'd be sharing a common room and everything alone, since both were the Head students. Addie just cheerfully sat with an amused grin, she had made a bet on who'd win their dares with Ted, who she'd been dating for the past year. And Becca looked plainly miserable, she had told everyone her crush, embarassing both she and Remus.
Once they reached the warm confines of the castle, instead of heading to the Great Hall for the feast and the sorting ceromony, they went up to the fifth floor to find the Heads rooms. Lily stood in front of a portrait of a knight in shining armour, and a fat black and white spotted pony on grassy plains. The knight came to ask her for the password and Lily wondered if this could be the famous brother of Sir Condogen. Lily looked down at the sheet of parchment that had been owl posted over the summer to her before saying, Sugar Quill. The four walked into the heads common room with the mouths gaping, none had seen anything like this. The common room was very large, with two long, sweeping staircases on either side. The room was painted a dreamy sky blue and clouds were actually floating along the celeiling. Against the wall, opposite of the portrait hole was a large, fluffy couch, and on either sides of it were squashy armchairs. To their left was a roaring fire. The stairs on the staircases were each done in a seperate color leading to the two Heads rooms, Lily chose the gold one over the crimson and climbed it, with her friends following. At the top of the staircase their was a long hall with Lily's room was one the end, and then further down the head bathroom and then James's room. The hall opened on one side to give a magnificent view of the common room.
Lily opened her door and stepped inside. Everyone looked around in awe. The room was done in gold and crimsons for Lily's house colors, there was a large fourposter bed, a nightstand, a set of drawers, a huge oak desk and a smaller version of the roaring fire in the common room. The four looked from one to the other in agreeance that they'd all be staying here more than in the noisy, crowded common room. Lily invited them to come whenever they wanted, gave them the password, and pracitcally begged them to stay the night, not wanting to be alone in these huge rooms by herself. Well... she would'nt be by herself, she has Potter, but she did'nt deem him good company. They flocked out to the hall and into the bathroom, their already gapping mouths widening in astonishment. This bathroom was slightly smaller than the prefects but beautiful. In the center was a pool sized bath tub, with various spickets and faucets surronding it, there was also sinks lining the far wall with a large vanity mirror traveling the length of them. On the other wall was a bathroom stall in one corner, and a shower in the other corner with a curtain for privousy enclosing it.
By the time they'd finished admiring the Head's quarters they all traveled down to Great Hall where the sorting ceromony had just finished and the bowls and plates began filling with an assotment of delious smelling foods. All four fell down apon the food with ravernous delight. When the feast had finished everyone fell into a sleepy, comfortable silence as they made their way to they're common rooms. Siren sleepily directed the first year gryffindors torwards their dorms, and then made her way back to the Head's quarters. The common room was empty so she made her way up to Lily's room. Lily and the others had already drawn up make shift beds which all fit comfortably in Lily's room. They continued to talk sleepily, all in agreeance that they were glad tomarrow was Sunday and none had classes, for September 1st fell on a Saturday this year.
Siren fell into a restless sleep, which had her unfortantly awake at 2am. She stood in the semi-darkness and made her way to gaze out the window and up at the large full moon. Tonight would have been perfect for one of their adventures. By their seventh year all four girls could transform into animagi. Siren, a golden gray and white wolf, Lily a snowy white owl, Addie a black sleek cat, and Becca a shy, silver Unicorn adolesent. Siren quickly tired of looking outside and thought maybe a walk would help her fall asleep. She walked down into the common room to find everything like they had left it, Siren wondered if James had came in yet. She walked up to his room and knocked softly when recieving no answer she walked in to find the bed untouched, how strange... She thought. Siren shrugged to herself and closed to door softly and made her way to the bathroom to relax her nerves.
Usually Siren always took a shower, she really did'nt like taking baths but she decided to relax in a warm tub, besides this bath would be lot more fun, it being the size of a pool.She turned on various tapes and had the whole room inclouded in a thick fog with diffrent size, shapes, and colors of bubbles. She folded her robe neatly in a stack and slipped into the hot bath. She swam a few lengths, she was a very good swimmer from all the summers with her cousins. The tub started shallow on one side then gradually got deeper until Siren estimated it to be about eight feet. Siren swam to a shallow corner when she sat, she was just tall enough to where if she sat down totally in the shallow the water rose to just below her chin. She lay there, thinking. I hate Sirius Black, but I can't help feel attracted to him. He is very hot and has some nice tributes. But he annoys me so much. I don't know... I'd probably be better off just connvincing myself I hate him. I can't wait till Monday so I can start my Occlumency lessons with Dumbledore, he said there would be another student traing with us to. Thats why I am really here, to help these people against Voldemort. I have a gift that is very rare. I' am here to train in occlumency and mind control, a gift that can only be enhanced not given in a potion or such. We never had a problem like this with dark wizards trying to rule in America, I suppose it's because we all live in freedom so no one really wants to do anything else. But I have seen what those in Voldemorts way suffer and I must help... After the third time Siren dozed off, she go out and threw on her pale blue nightshirt. Her favorite clothes were large and comfy, her night shirt was actually her dad's old cotton shirt that fell to just above her knees. She streched happily and after pulling her hair back and went into Lily's room. It was now 3:15 am and the house elves had stoked the fire in Lily's room leaving Siren who was natually always hot, even hotter. She grabbed her blanket and went down into the common room which was lit by a single torch. The fire in here had burned itself into glowing embers and was pleasantly cool. She fell into a finally exsausted sleep onto the large couch, which like her bed at home sunk slightly with your weight, envoloping you in soft fluff.
Sirens Dream
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
She was swaying slightly to the slow rythmic music and dancing couples seemed to surrond her in a blur. The room was very dim with only candles lighting it. And someone stepped up to ask her to dance. She smiled up at the tall figure, he was about a head taller than her. She could only make out his dark hair that fell airly three inches from his ears and into his eyes. She knew that hair, but the face was blurred, as though she would'nt let herself she who she was dancing with. His arms were around her waist, hers around his neck and they both swayed togather. Suddenly something rushed through her, something hot and unknown. Both were swaying closer togather until finally their faces were inches apart. Siren's heart was pounding. He just stood where he was, looking down at her, waiting. She told herself not too, but she slowly lifted onto her toes and pressed her lips softly to his. After a few seconds she lowered back down and took a slight step back to give them both some room. She was flushed, thinking herself to forward. But before she knew what was happening he brought her back to his chest and brought her lips to his once more. She sighed and he opened his mouth slightly and traced her lips with his tongue. In surprise she opened her mouth and his flooded in. It was the most wonderful feeling.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Siren stirred softly in her sleep, as James Potter and Sirius Black quietly climbed through the Head's portrait hole. They had just finished a mid-night adventure with Mooney who had transformed at the full moon. They both froze at the soft sound that came from the couch. James saw Sirius's dim form shrug before muttering 'lumos' to his wand and slowly walked forward. They both saw the sleeping form of Siren Callisto curled up on the couch, her knees brought up comfortably under her as if she were sitting on them, one hand under her head the other thrown across her stomache. Sirius stared at her, memeroizing her sleep softened features, she always had a rosy blush on her cheeks, her damp honey golden hair lay in thick lazy curls. Her eyes were shut but Sirius knew that they were a mixture of blue and green with gold specks here and there, always alert but holding a dreamy glisten and a conspiratory look. Her eyes were what Sirius loved after her hair, they always held a laughing or amused look in them or were spitting fire and icy. She stirred again as Sirius wondered if she'd mind him kissing her, he bent down to feed his urge never one to deny himself, when James gave him a slight shove and shook his head in warning. Sirius grinned in the challenge and leaned down once more but before he did anything, Siren sighed and whispered in a breathy voice "Sirius...." Sirius straightened up so fast, James thought someone cursed him from behind. James looked surprised but tried not to laugh at the expression on Sirius's face with held shock, amusment and alarm. They both went up to James's room and fell asleep in silence, Sirius wondering why Siren was dreaming about him.
Siren woke up feeling as if she were in warm haze, unusal because she usually groaned and rolled over when Lily shook her awake. She wondered for a moment why she felt so happy until the realization of the dream hit her and she blushed. She knew she was in trouble now that she was dreaming about him, she felt the urge to find him and kiss him, but squelched it. Siren gathered her blankets and ran up to Lily's room to get ready. The other three who had been up for an hour already told her they'd meet her at breakfast. Siren nodded relucantly because she was already late and she had to go to a prefects meeting in 5 minutes and then Quidditch practice. She dug through her trunk looking for clean clothes, she had to get a shower first thats how she started everyday. She pulled out her favortie robes from back home since she was aloud to wear what she wanted on the weekends. The robes came to her knees, and these ones were a mid night blue with silver lining. She went ran to the door counting each second, when the robes flew out of her hands, she kept going and ran out of Lily's room and down the hall. The shower was already running and she banged against the door, shouting.
"JAMES POTTER GET OUT OF THAT SHOWER I'M LATE.....NOW POTTER!!!" Siren shouted tapping her foot in frustration and giving the door one last pound. She heard James's bedroom door open to her left and looked over, James walked out looking puzzeled. Siren frowned and was about to ask James who was in the bathroom when the door opened. Out walked Sirius Black with only a towel around his waist. Siren's mouth dropped open, Oh...Fudge it. Siren thought. Sirius was tall and his muscular slim body was damp, he had the grin that said trouble, his stormy eyes were sparkling and his wet black hair fell into his eyes gracefully. Siren gathered her wits and pushed Black out of the way and locked the door behind her, her face flushing. She ran over to the shower and after throwing her clothes into a scattered pile jumped under the water and scrubbed her head with shampoo, using more than she should reasoning that that would elminate the need for bar soap for this morning. She jumped out of the water and grabbed a towel that went from under her arms to her knees.
Outside Sirius had threw on a robe and was talking to James in the hall when Siren came running out, it was Sirius's turn to gape. And James was'nt excatly looking the other way. Siren blushed silently cursing herself for dropping her robes. Siren's wet, curly golden hair fell into a thick mass to her waist, and her curvy form was outlined very noticably in her towel, which had Sirius wishing her towel would fall. Once she reached her room she threw on her robes and pulled her hair back into a ponytail, she pulled her favorite sneakers on, which had splatters of paint on them and ran out of the door. She glanced down at her watch and noticed she was already four minutes late. She got through the portrait hole stumbling and ran full speed down the corridor. By the time she reached the room in which Dumbledore was holding the meeting her face was flushed and she could'nt catch her breathe. She entered the room panting, and everyone turned to look at her from the large prefects table in the middle of the room. Dumbledore was at the head of the table, his blue eyes twinkling and a small smile playing at his lips.
"How nice of you to join us Miss Callisto." Dumbledore said. Siren grinned at everyone apologetically and sat beside Remus who passed her, her favorite blueberry muffin since she missed breakfast. She smiled and relaxed slightly and ripped pieces of her muffin off and and plopped them in her mouth. Dumbledore continued.
"As I was saying, we are currently considering adding small, additional rooms into the head quarters for the prefects. If this is put into effect you will all take turns patroling your common rooms till eleven." Dumbledore waited for feedback and it was approved by an excited all. All seventh year prefects will have rooms added into the heads quarters. Beside the head quarters, a potrait will be placed for the sixth and fifth year prefect rooms, which will be smaller yet nice. Next brought the subject of a tri-wizard tournament, which was last attempted 15 years ago. All the prefects agreed that Hogwarts should host the tournament. They would invite four schools. The traditional Beauxbatons and Durmstrang would be invited. But there was huge controversy over the next two schools to invite. Dumbledore and most agreed to invite the United Academy of the United States since they had been hosting an american student for the past four years, and All Waters wizarding school from Italy. That was all the prefects got to decide, Dumbledore and representatives would decide the events, which were mostly preplanned. Dumbledore sent out owls immediatly to the decided schools, many had wanted the chance to participate, and ambassadors from all over the world had met in London over the summer to decide which school would host and get to decide who to invite. The schools would arrive Halloween night. The schools would each bring twenty students, as one of the events involved a Quidditch tournament their seven players would also accompany the students who would place their names in th goblet of fire to get the chance to defend their school in the tournament. After the meeting was adjourned, Siren thanked Remus for the breakfast and rushed out to Quiditch practice which she was ten minutes late for, Remus following in her wake. She did'nt both changing into her practice robes and rushing onto the pitch while summoning her broom with the Accio charm. She mounted and flew up to meet James who was grinning and holding out her beaters' bat. She flew around hitting bludgers at Sirius who in turn beat them back to her.
"Is that the best you can do Callisto?" Sirius taunted and as he got too close to Siren who was'nt paying attention and swung the bat as hard as she could. The bat collided with Sirius's head, which Siren convinced herself she did on accident. As she flew over to meet Sirius to see if he was alright, but a bludger came wizzing within inches of Sirens head. She stopped in mid air. But as she did the bludger changed corse and came slamming into her shoulder. She lost her balance and almost fell. The bludger came again before she could move and crashed into her leg. The bludger was coming faster than it should and she thought she felt something crack in her leg, as pain came searing from her ankle to her knee. She lay on her broom and buried her head into her arms, as she felt the bludger crash into her right rib cage. She felt someone fly to her side and heard the deep voice of Remus Lupin, as she looked up, his wand was out and he stopped the bludger within inches of her head and the bludger dropped down to the ground. She groaned as she felt her ribs which felt bruised. And she swayed almost off of her broom, Remus threw his arm around her shoulder, which made her hiss in pain as they lowered themselves to the ground. James, Addie, Lily, Becca and Sirius hit the ground ahead of them. Siren wished she'd just feighnt into darkness and escape the pain but it would'nt happen. Remus noticed Sirens leg which was hanging limply below her broom, and James and Sirius reached up to lift Siren down. She started to protest saying she was to heavy but quickly stopped as pain seared just under her shoulder blade. Siren leaned into James, who was a lot more muscular than Sirius, and Sirius quickly let her go thinking she did'nt want him touching her. She buried her head into James's robes and the seven quickly made their way torwards Hogwarts and the Hospital wing. Siren looked up to see the large and swollen black eye Sirius sported. She groaned and closed her eyes tightly. They were up in the Hosptial Wing and James sat Siren gingerly on the hospital bed and went to find Madame Pomfrey. She bustled in with tsking sounds and assesed Siren. Siren had a broken leg which Pomfrey mended in five minutes, she also pulled her shoulder out of place which was painfully put back in place. She did'nt say anything about her ribs not wanting to sound as if she were complaining. As Madame Pomfrey had her back turned to let the swelling out of Sirius's left eye, Siren gently pushed against her ribs and decided that they were not broken, but bruised. Remus studied her quietly as if trying to decide wether or not to tell Madame Pomfrey about Siren's ribs, but with a glare from Siren, he decided against it.
The seventh year prefects moved into the Head Quarters. Their were eight rooms added on, and between each of the two rooms for the prefects was a minture adjoining bathroom. The eight doors were placed on the walls of the common room. The Slytherin doors to their rooms placed beside each other next to the fire place. The Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff doors were on the opposite wall from the portrait hole and Gryffindor rooms to the right wall of the portrait hole. Dumbledore to had place the Heads bedrooms futher back on the second floor and expanded the hall into a small common room only for the heads and their friends. The small common room looked down onto the main common room. Siren fell into an exsausted sleep into her prefect room, which was beside Remus's. The bathroom which Siren found out later held, a shower and a small round marble bathtub which reached five feet in depth, there was also a large mirror over a gold sink, and a bathroom stall. The seventh year prefects were, for Slytherin, Lucius Malfoy and Lydia Henderson. Charlie Wood and Alice Morson who were in Ravenclaw, Remus and Siren Gryffindor prefects, and Jacob Samson and Ella Aarons the Hufflepuff prefects. Everyone still spent their evening in the Gryffindor common room, but the Prefects had to be in their common room by 10:00pm.
Sirius lay on a bed in James's room not bothering with the Gryffindor dorm since his best friends were here, Peter had decided to stay in the original dorm with the other seventh year boy Frank Longbottom, who Peter was friends with. As James fell asleep, Sirius could'nt thinking about Siren. Someone had tampered with that bludger and with the right blows could have serious hurt her, he had to find out who would do this.
