The next morning,I got up earlier than I would have liked, 7:30am is not a nice time to wake up on a Saturday. I reluctantly got dressed and went downstairs, to sit on a chair by the fire and read my magazine.

I flopped down on the chair and turned sideways so that my feet were hanging over one of the arms of the chair. I started to read, but got bored of that quickly and decided to find another hairstyle instead.

"Accio, mirror." I whispered and watched as my mirror floated down the stairs and landed in my lap. I then proceeded to flip through the magazine for a hairstyle to try. I spotted one, thought about it and 'pop'. I looked in the mirror.

"Ok, so really short hair doesn't suit me so well.."

I found another style, 'pop'.

"Hmm, I don't much like really tight curls."

I found a third style. It seemed interesting. It was long black hair with a fringe that went to one side. 'pop'

"I rather like this. But it needs my added touch I think." I said to myself as I eyed it in the mirror. With another 'pop' I had deep red streaks.

"Perfect"

---------------------------------------

I went down to breakfast a little while later, my robes over top of my P.Js because I was way to lazy to change.

I sat down at the Griffindor table and grabbed a couple pieces of toast and some jam. As I munched quietly on my toast, I saw Remus coming to the table. Man, he looked pretty worse for wear.

"Morning Remus."

"Oh, good morning Kyra."

"Are you feeling ok Remus, you look kinda pale."

"I'll be ok Kyra, don't worry 'bout me."

I shrugged, not knowing what else to say, and went back to eating. When I was finished I went up to the common room. I heard James and Sirius talking, I wanted to know what they were saying so I quickly changed my appearance to look like a little first year.

As I walked in they looked up at me, not recognizing me they went back to talking.

"Man Sirius, I've never seen you act like this."

"I don't know Prongs, she's different than other girls.."

"Duh, she can be any girl she wants in the blink of an eye."

I figured they were talking about me and went to go sit in a chair by the corner to listen. Unfortunately, they seemed to notice the tattoo on my neck.

"Hey girl, come here a minute." James motioned for me to stand in front of him. I blushed and did as he asked, covering my neck with my hand.

"What's that on your neck?" James asked.

"N..nothing.." I stuttered, trying to make my voice high.

James pulled my hand away and studied my neck.

"I've seen that before..."

I could feel my face reddening as realization came over James.

"Kyra.." he whispered.

I hung my head and changed back to my normal form.

"What are you doing!" Sirius exclaimed.

"Erm, nothing...?"

"Whole lotta nothing! You were spying on us." James retorted.

I blushed, not knowing what to say, I mean, what could I say?

"I'm sorry." I crossed my arms over my chest wishing I were invisible.

"How much did you hear?" Sirius breathed

"All of it." I squeaked, I might as well use the truth now.

Then I heard somebody coming down the stairs. I looked up.

"Morning Lily." I mumbled, trying to slink away as James' attention was on Lily. No such luck, Sirius grabbed me by the arm as I tried to make my escape.

"Why did you want to spy on us?" Sirius asked.

"I don't know, I just.. wanted to know if there was a normal side to you I guess.." I muttered.

All of a sudden, Sirius had a huge grin on his face. I looked at him confused.

"What's with the grin Sirius?"

"You almost saw me pour my heart out. If it wasn't for the tattoo on your neck." he brushed his hand over my neck and I shivered. "Why do you have that tattoo on your neck? and why doesn't it change with you?"

"It's a marking, so people know who I am. I got it when I was little, I'm an animal lover, that's why it's in the shape of a paw. It's enchanted to never come off or change." I explained.

"You know, that's pretty sexy Kyra." Sirius smirked.

I blushed, not able to come up with a smart-ass remark.

"Uh, could you let me go now Sirius, I want to get changed for Hogsmeade." I motioned to the fact that I was still in my pyjamas. He let my arm go, and I went upstairs, quickly followed by Lily.

"Well that was sure interesting Kyra."

"Yeah well.." I trailed off as I started to dig in my trunk for something to wear. I really didn't feel like reliving the embarrassment at the moment.

When both Lily and I were ready, we made are way to the Front doors and outfor a funday atHogsmeade...
