Disclaimer: please. I own not, you sue not. I don't own the BeeGees music. But I do own Lina, Arianna, and other things you don't recognize that will come up.

Now, I found, that the world is round
and of course it rains everyday.

Living tomorrow, where in the world will I be tomorrow?
How far am I able to see?
Or am I needed here?

If I remember all of the things I have done,
I'd remember all of the times I've gone wrong.
Why do they keep me here?

Sirius' POV

August 25, 1975

When Madame Pomphrey gave me this journal last year, after she found me flying my broom around the room, trying to wear off my energy, she told me to write in it when I am feeling confused, angry, or upset.

Of course, it found its way under my bed the day after I got it, and stayed there until tonight.

Because I definitely need it. Badly.

You know, out of the other Marauders I was the one that was looking forward to the Miss AMA's arrivals the most.

And really, doesn't everyone expect to beauty contestants to be tall, blonde, and brainless, like the first two that came into Padfoot's Head dorm?

I did.

No one should be held accountable for what they might say when the third contestant to walk in, late, I might add, carrying a very large suitcase and looking very irritated, is not blonde, tall, or brainless.

Especially when they are a brunette, short, and wearing all black clothes.

Wouldn't you have said something along the lines of: "What are you doing here?", or "Did you buy your way into the contest" or something like that. I can't remember what exactly I did say, except that she seemed to think that it was bad enough to inflict physical harm on a guy.

Sheesh.

It doesn't help that she's one of the prettiest girls I've ever seen.

It would have to happen to me, huh, thinking a girl that just hurt me is gorgeous.

Not that I do, of course, I just think she's pretty.

I guess.

Lily's POV

August 23, 1975

Wow. I must admit that I was a little bit apprehensive about sharing my dorm room with a beauty contestant.

You could say that I wasn't looking forward to spending time with someone who will probably be prettier than me, smarter than me, and have an endless supply of information about makeup, hair, and fingernails, something I seriously lack in, and gloat about being better afterwards.

I can definitely say now that I shouldn't have worried.

About the gloating part.

Because Lina is very pretty.

But considering she basically just beat up Sirius Black in the common room, I'd say that we are going to have a lot in common.

And that means that she will have no knowledge of beauty products.

YES! She shoots, she scores.

Not. Because I can't play quidditch to save my life. That's Arianna's department.

By the way, Rianna should be here by now. I asked her to come. I'm starting to get worried.

Anyway. Lina and I have been talking a lot. And I found out that she's a bit of a loner, that doesn't care for Pureblood fanatics, and also doesn't care for beauty contests in general.

Apparently she's like me in another way.

She was forced to participate. But it wasn't by her headmaster or Principal or whatever.

She was forced by her own grandmother. Her own flesh and blood.

She claims to be adopted from the Himalayas but I can tell she's joking.

I think.

A/N Thanks to my wonderful beautiful super duper reviewers:

Blink182Rox: glad you liked the update. Well… Linas at Hogwarts.

Hawiian Girl: Thanks for the offer. So I just send it to you first? I'll do it next chapter probably.

Miss Lady Padfoot: wow. Looooong review :) ok. Here goes. Well, I did put in the divider thingy… I hope it works.

The thing with Melodie and Harmonie might just go on to explain itself…. Especially with Harmonie…. But I won't give it away. I will be talking about it more.

I've discovered Its very difficult to be descriptive in letters and journals… hopefully I'll be able to broaden it more.

I'm trying to put in some Lily/James, but this chap. I was just trying to get across the point of Lina and Lily being friends right away and Sirius' righteous indignation at being a jerk.

Pottersgirl89: yup I def. got that from Meg Cabot. LOVE THAT BOOK. I suppose I should've mentioned that in the disclaimer. Oops. Oh well. Actually I got a little shred of the idea of Lina being goth from that book.

WoW-Girl: ok I will.

FeigningInocence: I'm glad you like my story! I LOVE yours! Love love love Rhia! Poor thing right now, all alone. Anyway. I'm anxious for you to update soon too.

I'm HOPEING to get the next chap. up SOON!
