The screaming grew louder…

That's all Dominique could remember.

"How long do you think it will take until she's awake?"

"I don't know! Why are you asking me?"

"Someone poke her…"

"I'm not poking her, even if she's unconscious; I'm sure she's still as dangerous. You'll end up missing a finger or something if you touch her."

Dominique slowly opened her eyes, "No, James. You'll actually end up missing your whole hand."

"Hey, you're awake!" Sirius said.

"Yeah…" Dominique said sitting up in her bed, right after she had sat up in bed Madam Pomfrey walked in, "Oh goodness, she's awake. How are you feeling, dear?"

"Like I have a hangover…" Dominique said gripping her forehead and grinning.

Madame Pomfrey sighed and the boys laughed.

"Here, have some chocolate. You should be fine now that you're awake, but I want you to take some chocolate. Eat if it you're feeling woozy and if you feel any worse come back and visit me."

"Alright, but um… what exactly happened?"

"You don't know? I'm not exactly sure, someone found you in a compartment unconscious."

"Oh…okay. Thanks, Mrs. Pomfrey," Dominique said, hopping out of bed as if nothing had happened. Madame Pomfrey shook her head and exited the room.

"Dominique, you honestly can't remember what happened?" Remus asked.

"No, well not really. all I remember is Lucius and tons of horrible screaming."

"Isn't that quite the combination," James replied.

"I'd say…Let's walk and talk. I hate infirmaries," Dominique said while exiting the infirmary; the boys followed, "Well, I left to change before we got to Hogwarts, but on my way I heard some type of fighting going on in a compartment. I stopped to listen, and as I did Malfloy came flying out. He asked me what I heard. I told him it was a secret, so he had a hissy fit and then I had to pull my wand out on him. That's when the lights went out and the train stopped. I ended up kneeing him in the 'bojangles', but in the end he managed to get away. I found the knob to his compartment door and as I opened it. All I could hear was screaming. That's all I remember."

"Hah! You kneed him in the balls. You're god in my eyes," Sirius said smiling.

"Yeah, I know," She said smirking. He stared at her blankly. Dominique couldn't tell what he was thinking, "Anyways, How long have I been out?"

"I'd say a day," Peter replied.

They had made it to the fat lady's portrait.

"Password," The fat lady asked.

"Is it Slytherin sucks?" Dominique stated.

"No, but I wish it were," James said, "It's actually Concordia."

The portrait flung open and there sat Lily on the couch, and as soon as she saw Dominique; She sprung up off the couch, and ran over to hug her. "Oh, are you okay? I visited you earlier, but you were still out."

"I'm fine…" Dominique replied.

"What happened?"

"Ask James," Dominique said with a twinkle in her eyes.

James just grinned then winked at Lily. Lily rolled her eyes as Dominique made her way up to the Girl's Dormitory.

"Where are you going?" Sirius called out, from the bottom of the girl's dormitory stairs.

"To the girl's dormitory if that isn't too obvious. I'm going to shower and change…" and with that she shut the dormitory door and did, as she had said.

When Dominique got out of the shower, she glanced at herself in the mirror, "God, I'm pale. Where's that damn chocolate," She thought. She got dressed into her pajama's; a cami and shorts.

Dominique opened the door to exit the bathroom, only to be bombarded by Lily.

"How could you leave me with him? Of all people!"

Dominique smiled and walked over to her bed, "I don't know, Lils. I just think you should give James a chance. He's a really good guy!"

"Right…and the Slytherin's are angels"

"Well, now you see why James has the need to keep those 'angels' in line, and you have to admit he has laid off quite a bit. He's doing it all for you."

"Yeah, Yeah. Always trying to help James and his friends. You know just as much as I do. It's my duty to watch out for trouble makes like him. I'm head prefect…" Lily continued to blabber on about James and the rest of the marauders, while Dominique ignored her. Lily was forgetting James was head prefect too, but Dominique still occasionally nodded her head and agreed with Lily.

Dominique hopped into her bed.

"Are you listening to me?" Lily asked.

"Mmm Hmmm," Dominique said nodding looking around the dormitory.

Lily threw her hands in the air, "I give up!"

"That means you'll go on a date with James then?"

"I'd rather die a slow and painful death…"

"I'm just going to take that as a polite no"

"Who's James?" Some one asked.

Dominique searched the room for who had said it. When she found them, her eyes widened, "Who are you? Whoa… if you're a first year and looking to join the James fan club…sorry, but it's big enough this year. He's Lily's man."

The girl laughed, "Do I look that young?"

Dominique raised her eyebrow in confusion. True, she didn't look that young, but she did have features that made her look young and naïve. This girl had deep blue eyes that would make you believe anything and layered brown hair.

The girl only smiled at Dominique, "I'm Katy, 7th year…I'm a transfer student."

"Oh!" Dominique replied, "Sorry, about that. Nice to meet you, Katy. Can I call you Kat. Kat sounds erotic, I like that. Grrr…Anyways, I'm Dominique, call me that or any type of nickname you come up with from that."

"Sounds like a plan," She replied jumping onto her bed.

"So…Where'd you use to go to school at?" Lily asked.

"Well, I was home schooled…"

"That's cool, but sheesh a bit late to start school now though, huh?" Dominique said.

"Yeah…." Katy replied quietly.

Dominique and Lily realized Katy didn't want to talk about it too much, so they dropped the subject.

"Katy, whatever you do, my advice is to stay away from James and Sirius," Lily said self-assured.

"Ahh! Lils, they aren't that bad. Don't worry about them, they're harmless…unless you're a Slytherin." Dominique said.

"Really haven't gotten the concept of the houses and points yet," Katy stated.

"I'm sure you'll get the concept of it. It's pretty easy. If Dominique can get it; trust me, you can too." Lily said smiling.

"Haha, very funny Lily. Anyways…ladies I think it's time for bed or at least me," Dominique said while yawning.

All the girls agreed.

First Day Of Class

"Dominique," Lily yelled, "It's time to get up! You don't want to late for Defense Against Dark Arts do you? We'll lose points…"

Dominique moaned, "I don't want to get up…"

"Might I add this new Defense Against Dark Arts teacher is quite the looker."

Dominique opened her eyes, "Oh, I'm a awake now."

Lily smiled in satisfaction, "I knew that would get you up. Hurry up before you miss breakfast."

Dominique got up out of bed, "Yeah, yeah. I'm more concerned with breakfast anyways."

Dominique headed to the bathroom, got dressed into her robes and then applied some light make-up; she put on eyeliner, eye shadow, blush, and lip gloss, then brushed her teeth.

"Hey, Lils," Dominique called, exiting the restroom.

"Yeah?"

"Do you know who found me on the train?"

"No…I don't."

"Don't you find that to be a bit strange?"

"Yes, not to mention we don't even know how you became unconscious. Something's definitely odd about this whole situation."

"I agree. I think it has to deal with Voldemort…"

"Dom! Do you have to say his name?"

"Yes, I'd rather say it then fear it." Dominique said matter-o-factly.

Lily sighed, "If he is up to this we'll find out."

"Yeah, and Malfoy is the first person we should talk to about it."

"Hey Guys," Katy said, exiting the bathroom.

"Morning," Both girls said at the same time.

"Well, I'm heading down to get some breakfast. I'll talk to you later Lils." Dominique said exiting the dormitory. Dominique slowly walked down the stairs, holding the rail with each and every step she took. She needed some chocolate, but she couldn't remember where she placed hers. When she reached the Gryffindor commons she saw Remus sitting in a love seat reading a book, like usual.

"If I didn't know any better, I'd say you and Lily would make the perfect couple." Dominique said quietly walking towards Remus.

"Ahh…Well, opposites do attract."

"I suppose. Have you eaten breakfast yet?"

"No, not yet. I'm waiting for the boys."

"That'll be awhile…"

"Usually goes for you too," Remus said smirking.

Dominique laughed, "Come to breakfast with me."

"Alright," Remus said standing up.

The two exited the Gryffindor commons and made their way to the Great Hall. When they entered the Great Hall they heard cheerful voices and laughter, mostly students catching up on their summers and discussing their schedules with each other.

Dominique's face lit up at the sight of the Great Hall and the content people it held. Dominique and Remus walked towards the Gryffindor table and found a spot. They sat next to each other.

Dominique grabbed a plate and started putting all she could fit onto the plate.

"You're almost as bad as Sirius," Remus said with his eyes wide open.

"Hey! I am not that bad"

"That's why I said almost…"

Dominique took a big bite out of a muffin as she glimpsed at the new first years in Gryffindor.

"Awe, he's so cute, I could just pinch his cheeks…And those big blue eyes. He's so adorable," Dominique thought to herself as she stared at the little first year.

Soon someone tapped her on the shoulder and she snapped out of her trance.

"What," she snapped.

"Uhm, Dom," Sirius said softly, "I don't mean to interrupt, but I think you're scaring that first year."

Dominique glanced back over at the first year and his bright blue eyes were wide with either fear or excitement. Dominique couldn't tell.

"Oh, shut up," She said peeling a banana.

"Where do you hide it all," Sirius asked.

"Hide what," Dominique replied.

"All that food."

James just stared at Dominique and Sirius.

Dominique took a bite of her banana then replied to Sirius's question, "Well, I'm not sure. I keep some for the winter? And the rest comes out? You should know. You're smart little boy."

It didn't matter what she said anyways. Sirius wasn't listen; he was busy shoving his face with food.

"How could you compare me to that," Dominique said to Remus, pointing at Sirius.

"I do apologize. I didn't realize he was that bad. I try not to watch him too often."

James wasn't even paying attention to anything that was going on. He wasn't even stuffing his face like he normally did. He was watching Lily walk into the great hall with Katy.

"Oh, new girl's looking good," Peter exclaimed a little too excited.

"I'd say," Sirius said looking her up or down.

"Try not to drool, Sirius," Dominique said staring at Katy.

"This should be great," Dominique thought to herself.

Remus closed Sirius' mouth for him.

Sirius patted James on the shoulder, "Eh, you see the new transfer student."

James didn't answer. Sirius smacked James in the back of the head.

"Ow, that hurt." James said rubbing the back of his head.

"You see the new transfer girl. She's a good lucking girl."

"Yeah, but she doesn't really have any boobs. I'm a boob man."

"Who cares."

"I do. Lily has perfect jugulars. Lily's perfect all in all."

Lily took a seat by Dominique, and Katy sat next to Lily.

"Good Morning, Lily" James said to Lily.

"Morning…." Lily uttered out of her mouth softly.

"What's that?" James replied.

"Don't push it Poter." Lily said.

Dominique whispered in Lily's ear, "You know you secretly just want to jump across the table and give James a big smooch!"
