Chapter twelve

"Wakey wakey, eggs and bacey!" I watched as Erin failed once again in trying to awaken Andy from her shoulder. "Ugh, screw it.." Erin jumped off the seat, leaving Andy to fall abruptly onto the seat. Andy sat upright and rubbed the left side of her head.

"Whassamatter?" Dazed, she stood up and leaned on Erin's shoulder again.

"Wow, you have the ability to slur three words together. And to think I only thought it was a fairytale. My whole life has been a lie." They laughed at my ramblings. Erin placed an arm around my shoulders and escorted me and Andy, who was still on her shoulder, out of the compartment and off the train.

"Look! Ickle firsties!" Andy found an abandoned stick and poked one in the back. The nervous kid turned around, took one look at Erin and turned back around and walked very quickly to a group ahead of us.

"Now look Andy! Look what you did! Now he won't want to play with us." Erin pointed at the nervous looking boy. We all laughed as I opened the door to a carriage and allowed them to get in.

"Come on Remmy, you don't think it was funny? Not in the least?" Sirius poked Remus in the sides.

"No, I feel terrible. You meant that for Malfoy and it ended up on an innocent person. What happened to the motto huh? We don't prank on people that don't deserve it; and she didn't." I threw a menacing glare at Sirius.

Sirius thrust his hands in the air in defeat. "Hey, it's not my fault Malfoy decided not to sit across from us like he has for the last four years."

"Yeah okay."

"We good?"

"Of course."

"Hello Black, Potter, Lupin, and who could forget Pettigrew." Erin, Andy, and I climbed into the already-occupied carriage.

"Ahh hello Dobson, Coffcin, er..girl.." Confusion filled his eyes when he came to my name.

"Ignysia. I'm Alexsis Ignysia, but call me Al. But I don't believe I have your name yet." I had to admit, it was fun to watch him struggle. It was my personal way of revenge; to make the other person feel as awkward and uncomfortable as possible. Everyone in the carriage, with exception of a pudgy boy and the other boy, seemed to know what I was doing.

"Ohh! You're the girl who walked into our- I mean my prank." A swift kick in the shin changed his sentence.

"Yeah. What the hell was that about! Do you just randomly prank innocent people! You sick bastard!" At this point he was waving his arms trying to explain himself.

"NO! No, I-I didn't do it! Well I mean I did DO it, but it wasn't meant for you! Come on! You've got to believe me!"

"I do."

"What? You do?" He looked like I just told him his mother was goldfish.

"Yeah, I heard you guys talking before we got in." Everyone but him cracked up in laughter.

"Ohh. You're sneaky." He faked a hurt tone, but everyone could see his smile.

"Well, we're here." Andy opened the door only to be pushed out of the way by the pudgy one.

"Peter! Ever heard of 'girls first'? Geez, where's your manners?" Peter just shrugged it off and started walking. "Sorry 'bout him, he tends to get a tad jealous. By the way, I'm James Potter. Oh! And if you meet a girl by the name of Lily Evans, that's my girlfriend." Many people snorted at this comment.

A blush crept behind his glasses. "Well, I want her to be.." Even though he was murmuring I could still hear him.

Erin took me by the shoulder as well as Andy and steered us through the mass of tired and hungry pupils.

"SOMEONE TOUCHED MY BUTT! This is an EXIT ONLY area!" Andy and I cracked up as she looked around paranoid.

Opening the huge oak doors, I took the seat I had gotten use to over summer; Erin and Andy sat across from me.

"And who do you think YOU are? Don't you know you're sitting in my seat?" I got one glimpse at Erin and Andy shooting deathly glares behind me.

But that's all I seen before my head was jerked back and I was staring at an upside down with an angry smirk on her face.

"Er…no. No I did not…um.." I pulled my head up only to have it crash backwards like a crack of a whip. "Ow.."

"Well you don't honestly think I'm going to sit somewhere else do you!" Brown curls fell into her face as she spat at me.

"That's it!" Erin grabbed the girl and pushed her away. "Your hair's falling out of place Marge! You better hurry and put some more mousse in it!" She took her seat again as the girl ran away to find the nearest mirror.

"Nicely done Dobson, I applaud you." The boys from the carriages came and took the empty seats around me. He turned towards me. "I don't think we been properly introduced. I'm Sirius Black. And that's Peter Pettigrew, and you've already met James and Remus." He shook my hand.

The younger students were sorted into their respective houses. Dumbledore stood and silence fell over the hall. 'Wow. My Algebra Two teacher didn't have that much authority, although I bet she wished she did; she could never make my class be that quiet.'

"Welcome again students of Hogwarts to another brilliant year! And now for some dreadfully boring announcements.."

Sirius yelled out for the whole hall to hear, "Can we hurry it up! I'm as hungry as a bloody hippogriff!"

"Only kidding. Now fro Mr. Black's sake, let's eat!" Students around me cheered as he sat back at his place at the grand table and food appeared.

Everyone quieted down and ate ravenously only speaking occasionally. Finally people finished as the food disappeared, and the very tired and now very full students made their way to their towers, where they were most likely going to pass out.

"Shlibbernickens." The portrait swung open, and for once didn't nearly take my head off. Hey I think I'm gettin' the head of this! Woot!

Hey I had to silently cheer myself on. If I didn't, who would?

"Let's go find our dorms shall we?" Erin, Andy, and I made our way up the stairs and started down the halls, checking the dorm lists beside each door.

"Hey! Found mine! Andy you're bunkin' with me! Alright! But wait- Al's not on here..aww darn the man!" Erin hit the wall beside the door, the chains on her skirt rattled as she did so. I walked the three feet across the hall to the spot where I knew I was placed.

"Hey here I am." I faked a surprised tone. Did I sound convincing enough? I gotta start brushin' up on my acting skills.

"Oh okay then, maybe it won't be so bad if you're just across the hall. Well see you kiddies in the morning." Erin walked in the dorm followed by Andy after she said her good-byes.

I walked into my dorm only to be met with the cloud of perfume that sent me into a coughing fit. Who puts on perfume before they go to bed?

"Oh hello! You must be Alexsis. It's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Lily Evans." The red-head shook the hand that I was currently waving around in hopes to swipe some of the fumes. 'Man, I'm gonna be high as a kite before I go to bed. And it's not helping that my senses are heightened!'

"Hi Lily- wait you must be James's girlfriend right?" The room was void of any girl chatter as Lily gave me the look as if I should run and run quickly.

"Where did you hear that?" Her lips turned to a snarl.

I took a deep gulp. This girl looked like she could whoop my butt. "Er..James? James Potter?"

"Oohh! He is going to get it the next time I see him. And for the record," she turned and pointed her index finger at me threateningly. "I'm NOT. HIS. GIRLFRIEND." With every word she jabbed her finger against me.

I nodded my head obediently. "I-I'm just gonna go to bed now.." I backed away cautiously and climbed into my bed. I heard her walk away.

'Wow, I made a few friends, met some people, AND got threatened twice! It was a pretty good day..' I turned my head to the picture of my family and me at the beach I had taped to one of the bed post next to the wall.

"Man, I miss you guys."

A/N!

Hey I'm back from a sucky case of writers' block! I drew another pic of Alexsis, which will be posted on the site in my bio, as well as pics of Andy and Erin! They will be up soon.

I think I might have a deadline set for myself this summer so I'll have one up every Friday just about.
