Chapter 1

Rhianna walked into the Gryffindor common room, looked around, and smiled . The place was beautiful and mesmerising. It had been a half an hour since the feast had ended. After it, Lily and James had shown her around the school, and now they had made it to the place that Rhianna would call home for the next year. She smiled as she saw the fireplace and everyone sitting
around; it had a nice feel to it. Rhianna closed her eyes and took a deep breath in as she smelt the wood of the burning fire. Her eyes swept the room seeing if any other of her friends were sitting in the common room.

Her eyes came to rest on two figures sitting at a table playing wizard chess. She noticed they were Remus and Sirius. She walked over, pulled over an armchair, and sat down on it.

"Mind if I watch you boys?" she asked.

She brushed her hair out of her eyes and saw the two boys look over at her and smile. At least, Remus did. Sirius just seemed to look down at the board in front of him, and glance nowhere near her eyes.

Remus shook his head and said, "No, of course not I'm getting my ass kicked by my friend here, but there's nothing new there!" He smiled and shrugged.

Rhianna grinned and nodded. She looked at the board and shook her head. She didn't understand why anyone enjoyed this game. She found it rather boring.

"Where are James and Lily?" Remus inquired.

Sirius smirked and looked at Remus with a cocked head. "There's no real guess there, Remus. They're probably out somewhere snogging. I mean, i literally /i , nothing new there," Sirius concluded, shaking his head slightly. He brushed his dark hair out of his eyes and looked at Rhianna. He found her, for some unknown reason, rather fascinating. I mean, he'd liked girls before, but this was different. He couldn't tell how or why it was different, he just could. He'd had flings, been a heartless idiot, and thrown the girls away, but Rhianna...he wanted to realy know about.

Rhianna smiled shyly and looked in her bookbag for her notebook as the boys went back to their game. She pulled it out and bit her lip, concentrating on the two boys in front of her; she was sketching them. Sketching was her passion. It took her mind off of the many different things that were happening in the world such as war and things like that. She was using a small quill that she had used a lot since her grandmother had bought it for her before she died. She sighed softly and erased something, then went back to drawing. She finished it and closed the book. She noticed they were both watching her and that they had finished their game as well.

"What was that?" Remus asked.

Rhianna shrugged and shook her head. "Nothing, really. Just a passion I've had since I was a little girl. Drawing, especially people, fascinates me and they are like memories that I can keep," she said. She gave them a sheepish smile and put it away as she brushed her brown hair away from her eyes. It was an odd feeling, but she was scared that they wouldn't accept her. Rhianna felt that people had turned away from her because they had thought she was too weird. She had her quirks, but it was always hard to make new friends. She had a few trust issues, and she generally didn't let anyone in.

Sirius tilted his head. Rhianna was hiding something, and he wasn't too good at pinpointing things such as lying in people. Remus and James had always been better at that. He gave her a tight smile.

"Come on, there are some places that Lily wouldn't have let James show you. She's a spoil sport, but she has her reasons like no breaking rules," Sirius said. Rhianna nodded and stood up. Sirius turned to Remus and looked at him. "You coming Mooney?"

Remus looked between the two of them. He should go along to make sure Sirius doesn't get her into too much trouble, but at the same time, he could tell his friend would like some time alone with this girl. He just hoped that he wouldn't do something stupid and push her to the brink where she'd never want to speak to any of them again.

"No its okay you two go on ahead. I have some studying to do anyway," he said.

Rhianna smiled and followed Sirius out of the common room. She didn't know why, but somehow she thought that she was probably undoutably going to end up in some sort of trouble with this guy. Not to say that wasn't necessarily a bad thing, but she'd only just started at Hogwarts, so maybe it was a bad thing.

"So where exactly are we going?" Rhianna asked.

Sirius looked back at her and smirked. "Don't worry. You'll see when we get there. I'm not going to get you into trouble, it's just something everyone should see when they come here," he said.

Okay, so that was a slight bit of a lie on his part. You didn't need to see this place, but it was beautiful standpoint. Sirius led Rhianna up some stairs.

Rhianna looked apprehensive. Where was he taking her, and why was he taking her there in the first place? She didn't precisely by the whole, "you-have-to-see-this." She'd heard that line before, and mostly whenever she did something like that, she always got into trouble.

"All right, I guess. But if you get me into trouble..." she started eyeing him carefully.

He looked at her, stunned, and put a hand to his chest in a most dramatic way. "Who, me? Sirius Black? I i never /i get anyone in trouble. I don't even know how to cause trouble!" he told her, feigning hurt.

As he watched Rhianna carefully, he saw a small smile forming on her lips, but at the same time, he could see her trying to suppress her urge to laugh.

"I'm being very serious here, and you're i laughing at me. /i I don't know if you deserve to see this place anymore."

Rhianna bit her lip and pouted. "I'm sorry, Sirius. I promise I'll be on my best behaviour, and I won't laugh at you. Scout's honour," she said, holding up her right hand.

Sirius smiled and nodded. "All right, I believe you. But you have to promise me that when I ask you to, you'll close your eyes and won't open them till I tell you too," he stated gently.

She hoped that some way she would trust him with this and not question him, though she had just met him and hardly knew anything about him.

Rhianna shrugged and nodded. "Sure, I'll do that. Just make it into a little adventure of some sort," she asked. She glared at him slightly. "But if you let me fall, I am never talking to you again." She continued walking up the stairs, following him. She brushed her fingers over her dishevelled robes, trying to straighten them, but it didn't seem to help in anyway. They seemed to actually get worse. The duo finally arrived at a door and they stopped.

"Are we here?"

He nodded and smiled as she closed her eyes without him even having to ask. He opened the door into the tower and he led her in.

James and Lily were walking back to the Gryffindor common room after their long stroll around the lake. They'd nearly been caught by Filch, but had gone under James' invisibility cloak which seemed to really come in handy when they needed it. Lily stepped through the porthole and no one was in the common room. She bit her lip slightly and turned to James as he came through.

"Seems we're alone." Lily grinned.

James looked around and nodded. "So it seems, but whatever could we do now that we're alone again?" He asked slightly raising an eyebrow. He was teasing her, and she knew it. He loved doing this. They always came down a bit later and sat together. Sometimes they would fall asleep on the couch wrapped in each other's arms, and then get a load of lip the next morning from Sirius because of it.

Lily smiled, grabbed his hand, walked over to the couch and sat him down. James lay back and opened his arms so she could lay against his chest. She sat down between his legs and lay back with her head on his chest.

"I've missed holding you, you know," he whispered softly in her ear.

She sighed and put her arms on his and kissed his neck softly, "I know I've missed being held by you as well. I mean, I know we saw each other a week ago, but it wasn't really all that fun." Lily sighed heavily. She looked at him trying not to think about what had happened last week it felt like a million miles away from where she currently was.

James felt her tense and looked down at her. What had happened to her from the time that she left the house, to coming back here? He'd been worried about her while she had still been the friendly and sweet Lily Evans he had known. He could almost sense something was wrong. It felt odd, as it may seem to others he had an affinity for these types of things.

"Lils, are you okay?" He asked. James looked at her, hoping that she would answer the question.

Lily knew she wouldn't be able to keep this from him forever, but she sure as hell could try, right? "Its nothing, James. It's just my sister. She was annoying me more than usual last week and she upset me a little as well saying nasty things about you," Lily said. She sighed and brushed her hair away from her face. "She and that atrocious man she calls her 'boyfriend' announced their engagement. God I i hate /i Vernon, but they deserve each other."

James laughed. He had met Vernon before and knew exactly what Lily meant. He seemed to always have too much to say about a topic. He knew that Lily's father, Richard, hated him but on the other hand, liked James very much. Richard didn't understand why Petunia couldn't find someone as nice as Lily's boyfriend. "I bet your father about hit the roof when they said it." James grinned.

Lily grimaced and nodded. "Oh yes, he certainly did. And when he said to Petunia later why couldn't she find someone as good as you, she about exploded! It was rather quite funny I must tell you," she said shaking her head. She hated lying to James, but she had to. That fact could never come out or it would ruin everything that she'd fought for. She knew that eventually he would find out, but it would better for him to find out later than sooner.

"So did you and Sirius enjoy the rest of your week?"

James nodded. "Yes, we did. We had a bit of fun terrorizing the bullies that picked on the younger kids, but that was about it," he said. He looked at the porthole and then up at the stairs and then back at Lily's face. "What would you think of Sirius if he hooked up with the new girl, Rhianna?"

Lily smiled and then laughed slightly. "He probably would be quite interesting if she could be the one to tame the wild beast that Sirius is," she said giggling mildly. She somehow doubted that it would happen. i But you never know /i , Lily thought. Sirius could finally find someone that shared in his happiness and find love like Lily and James had, or the love that Remus and Leana had. Lily hoped so.

James nodded. "Yea, it would be interesting, but someone's got to eventually do it right. A crazy lady that somehow makes him see sense and whatever else Sirius needs," he said. James looked at the time. It was past midnight ,and he wrapped his arms around Lily's waist slightly. He could have sworn he heard a gasp when he squeezed her middle. But it could have been his imagination, but then he heard it again, but louder. He knew something was wrong. "My Lily what are you keeping from me?" he asked.

Lily bit her lip. i Damn. Why did I have to gasp and wince/i She felt like hitting herself right now.

"James there's something I have to tell you now. You have to promise me that you'll let me finish before you say anything. All right? You promise?" She asked.

James bit his lip and nodded. "All right, I promise I won't say anything until you tell me your finished," he said. Now he was worried. He didn't like the way this was going one bit.

Lily looked at him and sighed. "All right. It started after I left your house."

I walked down the stairs from the girls common room. I'd heard Sirius and the new girl--um, what was her name again?--so yes, oka,y it had only been a few hours, and I couldn't remember what her name was. So sue me! Rhianna! Ah yes, that's it! That's what the girl's name was. She was nice enough and Sirius, God help the poor girl, seemed to i like /i her. I saw Remus sitting on the couch staring at the fire. I snuck up behind him and wrapped my arms around him.

"Hi baby," I whispered softly into his ear.

Remus jumped and I laughed softly. A full moon was coming up, so he was a little angsty, but he gave a small laugh and pulled me over the couch. I snuggled against his side as we looked deep into the fire's flames. This was the best thing about him and I. We didn't need to say anything to each to just enjoy each others company. He nibbled softly on my ear.

"You know, one da,y you'll give me a heart attack and then what will you do?" He asked.

I chuckled and shook my head. "I don't think that will ever happen, Remus. You have a strong heart." I grinned and kissed his nose. I bit my tongue. I didn't know what would happen the next few weeks, but it scared me and I didn't like that. I knew somehow that life would never be the same again...

To be continued.
