Disclaimer: I don't know if you haven't noticed this but....I'm not JK Rowling. Far from her, actually...so do you really think I'd claim her characters? No...I do own Roz.

AN- Correct me if you disagree with this story, I don't care. I like the idea, and I didn't know anything about his family...so I made it up. Including his mother and father's name...of course, if anyone DOES know their name, I'd appreciate you telling me! Thanks! And...does anyone know a good beta?

Chapter 2: Reunions

I rolled my eyes. Remus Lupin was being his usual big brother self. Our eyes met, fire egniting between the two of us as we both pursed our lips together. It was very spooky the way we did things like this at the same exact time. "You always try to make me look bad, Roz." Remus mumbled, a growl escaping his throat as he spoke. Though we were the only ones in the room, I didn't raise my voice in case someone did hear.

"I don't have to try. You make yourself look like an ass, all by yourself." Our eyes narrowed even more and like lightening, we both lunged for each other, squeezing the latter's neck as if it were some poisonous snake threatening to bite us. Or, at least, that's what I was treating him like.

Before I could choke the life out of my dear brother, Remus extended his arms their full length and my hands, unable to reach his neck, slipped off. My eyes widened with hate and I struggled to slap, or punch, him. Unfortunately for him, a random person walked in the room and shouted. "REMUS!" I was dropped a second later, collapsing to the ground. My shoulders heaved as I coughed, trying to regain my breath.

"Moony, what the hell were you trying to do?" I glanced up to see James Potter. His hands were on my brothers shoulder, shaking him roughly. Remus just stared down at me, his eyes still filled with the same hate I had. James turned to me a second later, his mouth in a frown. "What even happened anyway?"

"She made a fool of me-"

"-in front of his little crush thing-"

"-and I confronted her, and she attacked me."

"Lies." I finished, crossing my arms once I was standing on my feet again. Remus and I took to glaring at each other once more. The second I felt enough adrenaline to punch my fist straight through his skull, his friend stepped in between us. "Cool it, both of you. Jeez, why do you two always fight? You're brother and sister." This made me hurt. Not that Remus and I fight like two starved cats and dogs, but because we were NOT brother and sister. He and I may as well be strangers to each other.

I snatched my book bag from the classroom's table and glared through my tears up at Remus. "No, we're not."

The air from the hallway felt so relieving. It washed the heat from my face, leaving me only with my thoughts of what had previously happened. My chest ached while the tears started to roll down my cheeks. I silently prayed that no one saw me. 'Please, let everyone decide they have something better to do than stare at everyone that walks by...' Fortunately, the only fortunate thing that happened today, I made it safely to the Ravenclaw common room...

"Roz?"

I lifted my head up and saw Peter and Sirius standing at the doorway of my compartment. My lips curled and I pulled my backpack over toward me. "Hi, wanna sit-"

"Remus wants you to..." Peter trailed off, looking toward the ceiling to think. I knew he was trying to find a nicer way to put what Remus had told him to say. My eyes narrowed and I turned to the other boy, hoping he'd be more talkative. "He wants you in our compartment so we can leave...er..like as soon as we stop." I nodded and stood up, wishing I wasn't going home for Christmas holidays. I should have stayed at school, away from the boys...

"I'll get it." Sirius said as he made his way into the compartment and reached for my suitcase. I let him, stepping back and out of the compartment. Remus' was just about four down, I don't know why he made such a big deal. Oh wait, yes I do. Tonight's the full moon. I rolled my eyes, pulled my backpack onto my shoulders and stopped outside the door of the compartment. James and Remus were having a passionate discussion on the inside...well, passionate wouldn't be the correct word. More like, heated.

"James, you don't understand what it's like."

"You always say that, why not tell me what it's like instead of me assuming you're being an asshole...which is exactly what I'm assuming." Remus an asshole? What an odd thing to think. I rolled my eyes and pressed my lips together.

"It's like...she's constantly in my way. I can't be myself because she thinks I owe her something. I don't. I know what she thinks..She thinks she should be the favored child just because she's "normal". I'm sick of her." Oh, the nerve of him! How could he even think that..that...OH!

"Roz?"

"What?" I snapped, glaring over my shoulder to see Peter wince at my harsh response. With a sigh, I shook my head and slid the compartment door open, dropping into the seat next to James. I didn't look at my brother, he didn't look at me. Sirius dropped my red colored suitcase at my feet and slid next to Remus. Peter was next, dropping in next to the window. Needless to say, a very uncomfortable silence fell between the five of us. Another hour like this, and I know I would scream. Why couldn't I have stayed in my own compartment? Did Remus feel like he didn't torture me enough in the first semester? Obviously not. Well, no use in wondering.

"Why am I here?"

"Mum told me I better have you when I stepped off the train. I'm not getting in trouble because you want your own compartment.." You're not getting in trouble anyway. I raised my eyebrows and bit the inside of my cheek, turning my face to the door. From beside me, James started whistling a low tune that resembled the funeral march. Despite the snickering from Sirius and Peter, Remus didn't find it funny at all, kicking his friend in the shin. "Oi, Moony. I swear, you get just like a girl on their period when it's the full moon."

"Shut it, Prongs." I snickered and turned to James. "Prongs? Only pre-teens make nicknames for themselves. Can I be Keykey? Oh wait, how bout Spot?" Peter gave a loud chuckle as he bent over, disguising it as a cough. This only made me smile more. "No, you can be Rosie." Sirius said, smiling from me, then to Remus. He was growing more angry with every word I spoke to his friends.

The corner of my lips twisted into a smirk as I looked back out the door. A girl passed by the window, glancing in before continuing down the hallway. "Was that Lily Evans?" Potter asked, sitting up straight. His face was in an expression of shock, making him resemble a statue.

I shook my head, but he stood up to prove it to himself anyway. I leaned as far as I could back as he leaned over my lap to poke his head out of the compartment. With a cluck of his tongue, he sat back down and shrugged. "You were right."

"Of course." I said quietly, focusing my attention to my fascinating knees. They were better to look at than seeing Remus glance daggers into my face. I plunged my fingernail into a small hole in my jeans, pulling the fabric so a bigger hole started to form. The frayed material stuck out, making me tuck the strings into the hole.

"What's the plan for the holiday, mates?" James asked, clasping his hands together.

"I was thinking of going into London for a day." My head lifted.

"Wonderful! I need to do a bit of last minute shopping! I still have Papa's present to bu--"

"I mean...just us." Remus said through clenched teeth. I growled and rolled my eyes. "Of course, how foolish of me, your majesty. Why did I ever think you'd want some low-life peasant to join you? It isn't as though I'm family or anything. I completely understand, your royal dick-head." Sirius, at this statement, leaned his head back and gave a loud howl of laughter. He slapped his knee a few times before putting his hand on Remus, or Moony's, shoulder. He didn't tear his eyes from mine.

"C'mon, Moony. She can come, can't she?" Peter suggested. I grinned and felt my eyebrows raise nearly to my hairline. "No, Peter, she can't." My eyes fell just as the train gave a loud whistle, and slowed to a stop. "Oh, thank God!" I jumped to my feet, grasped my suitcase and slid open the compartment door. "Rosalyn!" I heard Remus snap, but I was already gone. Pushing my way through the crowd was easier than I had anticipated. I was already at the door by the time the boys had gotten their suitcases off the shelf.

Standing on my tiptoes, I spotted two familiar people, near the edge of the crowd. Mum was smiling, looking at me while Father looked into every window for a sign of Remus. Figures. I shrugged the thought away and strolled to my parents, leaning in to kiss mum. She smiled sweetly and put her hand on the top of my head. "Where's your brother, dear? I told him to stay right with you." I smiled softly and turned to Daddy. "Hi, Papa."

"Hello, Roz. Have a good year? Grades good? Ah, Remus!" He stepped foreward to grasp my brother in a warm welcoming hug. I looked to my side to see Mum greeting the boys, asking them all if the trip was good.

"Yes, Papa." I lowered my head and turned toward the gateway. Might as well go to the car. Happy, family reunions take a while...They don't need someone else to get in their way.

AN- Please review! This story will be sort of long...and it's just all about Roz and how hard it is to be Remus' sister. Also, there's a bit of romance involved...but I'm not revealing anything. Thanks to my reviewers: WickedFaith, Trinity Cloud, hunni07, and FeemeLoki! this one's for you!
