I must have blacked out because the next thing I knew, I was lying in a bed in the hospital wing with a huge headache.

"Bloody Hell that hurt. I am going to kill who ever did that," I mumbled trying, and failing to sit up.

All of a sudden a witch was walking over to me.

"Stay lying down, and no death threats in my room."

"Fine whatever." I closed my eyes, willing the pain to go away.

"Can't you give me something for the major pain in my head?" I asked.

"No sorry dearie, you're just going to have to suffer."

'Oh Joy' I thought. I tried to go back to sleep but somebody came over to my bed. I opened an eye to see who it was.

"Hey Lily, what time is it?"

"Oh Kyra are you ok? Its already past dinner, that book hit you pretty hard."

"Who's book was it?"

"Well erm.. It was Sirius' book. He said the wrong spell and sent the book flying."

"Lily my friend. As I can't sit up without my world spinning out of control, could you give Black a message?"

"Of course, what would you like me to tell him?"

"Tell him, that as soon as I can think straight I'm going to hex him into oblivion."

"Okey Dokie I can give him the message. Do you think you'll be getting out of here soon?"

"I'm going to lay here for about 15 more minutes, then I'm going to leave, dizzy or not. This bed is lumpy."

"Ok, Bye then. Hopefully I'll see you in the common room alive; I'll even wait up for you. Ok?"

"Thanks. Bye, I'll see you later."

I told the nurse that I was feeling fine, when in fact I was still quite dizzy. I left the hospital wing and went up to the Griffindor common room. I muttered the password and went through the hole, to find Lily reading in a chair by the fire.

"Well, I've escaped."

Lily jumped; I guess she hadn't heard me come in.

"Kyra, are you ok?"

I flopped down onto a chair beside Lily.

"Oh my goodness my head is spinning." I moaned.

"Kyra, why don't you just give into my charm? If it hurts that much to think about me."

I turned to see Sirius standing behind my chair, smiling that stupid smile of his.

"I strongly advise that you go away before I turn you into Mr. Potatohead."

"Those are big words for somebody that can't think straight."

"Well if you had listened to Professor McGonagall, and you had done the spell right, I wouldn't be in this situation. It's all your bloody fault that my first day was ruined." I rose, trying to make a dramatic exit, but quickly fell forwards, only to be caught by Sirius.

"Lemme Go." I broke out of Sirius' grip and Lily jumped up to help me to the dormitories.

"StupidSiriusthinkinghecansweettalkmeandillforgetaboutbeinghitbyhisbook" I muttered as I went up the stairs. I lay down in my bed and fell asleep, totally forgetting about changing into P.Js.

I woke up the next morning feel a lot better, but I was still very pissed off. I looked in the mirror and tried to fix my hair, it was limp and muddy brown, but try as I may I couldn't get it to change.

"Damn it I hate when that happens." I said, getting dressed and walking downstairs. I knew I looked worse than usual because Lily gave me a funny look.

"Yeah Lily, I know I look bad, but it's ok, this has happened before. Sometimes if I'm really emotional, I can't manage to focus enough to change my appearance."

"Oh, so you're still pretty pissed at Sirius?"

"Apparently. Well I don't care what I look like right now, maybe now he'll leave me alone. Lets go down to breakfast."

We walked down to the Great Hall, as we sat down I noticed how famished I was, I hadn't eaten since breakfast the day before. I grabbed some cereal and toast and began to eat. Unfortunately, Sirius took notice of me once more, and sat down across from me.

"Good Morning Lily, Kyra. How are you fine ladies doing today?"

"Go to hell Sirius"

"Ouch, Kyra. Still mad at me?"

"Yes I am, I couldn't even change my hair this morning because of you."

"It's ok Kyra, you're still cute, and I still wouldn't mind a snog."

"Ugh. Pig."

Then the rest of the marauders came in and Lily gave me a frustrated look as James sat down beside her.

'If she didn't hate him so much, they would be really cute together' I thought, not daring to say it out loud and make Lily mad.

"Good Morning my dear Lily, how are you doing this fine day?" James asked.

Lily didn't even say anything; she just turned her back to him.

"Well Prongsie, it looks as if these two ladies are mad at us both."

I decided that I'd had enough to eat, so I rose, as did Lily and we both left.

Classes went by like they should, nothing special happening. After our last class, Lily and I went back up to the common room. I had been pretty stressed all day, not able to change the colour of one strand of hair. I decided that I needed something to relax. I went upstairs and got my broom. 'Maybe a couple of laps around the Quidditch pitch will calm me' I thought. I went outside and down to where the field was.

I soared up and already I was feeling better. I did a couple of laps, I flew around in circles, I went through the Quidditch rings and I felt better. I stopped in the middle of the pitch, closed my eyes and thought really hard about having wavy blue hair, and pop.

"Yessssss!" I cried, happy to get rid of my limp hair. I cheered as I went into a dive, ready to go back to the common room, also happy that tomorrow was Saturday, and an early Hogsmeade trip.

I went back to the common room, blue haired, Lily greeted me as I came in.

"Well I guess a quick ride around the Quidditch pitch was all you needed huh."

"Yeah. I'm feeling much better." I smiled and went back up to the dormitories to put my broom away, then I changed into my P.Js and went back downstairs with my robes in hand, in case I felt like going downstairs to supper.

I flopped down onto a chair by the fire and watched the flames dance for a while. Then I heard somebody come up behind me.

"So you're not still mad at me?"

"Sirius, do you really think I would forgive you that easily? You didn't even apologize to me! I'm just feeling calmer right now, I went for a quick ride around the Quidditch pitch."

I heard him mumble something but I couldn't tell what he had said.

"What did you say Sirius?"

"Imsorrykyra."

"I still can't tell what your saying Sirius, say it loud enough so the whole common room can hear."

"I'm Sorry Kyra!" Sirius shouted.

"That's better, now maybe I won't have to hex you."

"So you forgive me?"

"I guess. I would also appreciate you not trying to snog me every 5 seconds. You know there are plenty of girls that are in love with you, why don't you snog them?"

"I did already, you're new, and I haven't snogged you yet."

"Lovely" I replied, my comment dripping with sarcasm.
