A/N: Thanks Delano for helping catch my mistake. I originally had something dividing the P.O.V.s but it didn't get in here when I fixed the chapter, Chris' P.O.V is in italics, while Em's is normal.. Oh well, we'll try again. This is a collaboration fic between me and Valencia Cannon. Most spelling mistakes are her's. (J/K Val you know I love you!!) Anyways, Enjoy!!!

"I can't believe this!" I said excitedly as me and emilee, my best friend, stuffed our bags into the small compartment on the train

"You can't believe what?" she asked working just as hard as I was.

"That I get to go to Hogwarts this year...with you" for the last 7 years of my magical schooling I had had to go to Egypt's Magic Academy for Boys and girls, and now since my parents had finely allowed me to move in with Emilee, I got to go to Hogwarts.

"I know...how did you get your parents to agree to this anyway?" she asked sitting down now that all of the baggage was settled down.

"I don't really know that myself....but it doesn't really matter to me as long as I get to hang with you." me and emilee had met 3 years ago at one of the balls that they hold every year and ever since then I have been trying to get my parents to move to London...or at least let me move in with em's.

Just then four boys passed our compartment. I didn't get a very good look at the first two but the third one took the time to look inside the compartment, "wait you two!" He called to his mates "how are you doing emilee?" he asked

"Peachy!' emilee said shrugging her shoulders. Of course I didn't notice much of this because for the first time in a long time I was mesmerized. I'd herd Emilee talk about a couple of boys that she hung out with but never did she mention one that looked so nice...

"What are you doing Moony?" a deep voice came from the hall as he tried to look past his friend into the compartment I took the time then took take a glance at Emilee and I notice she was smiling rather brightly.

I then looked back to the very cute boy that was obviously named Moony...what kind of name is that? I asked myself finely the boy from behind saw what his friend was doing and pushed him out of the way. He then slid into the compartment next to Ems.

"Well I'll be damned, it's Ems!" he said smiling I didn't notice how nice this boy looked to because I was still staring...almost drooling at moony.

"Hey Sirius!" Em's said brightly just then everything clicked I knew why em's was smiling so brightly this was the boy she had had a crush on since...well as long as I've known her and mostly likely longer.

"Sirius!" I exclaimed with out much thought...I do this a lot. Ems eyes got all big and bulgy as if she were saying don't you say a word.

"Um...do I know you?" he asked looking at me all strange like.

"Oh no...I just now a lot about you...um...cause....um...." I said suddenly thinking that he might get suspicious as to who talked about him. and why.

"Oh sorry Sirius this is my friend Chris. Chris this is Sirius, Remus, and I'm sure the other two are back there some were." Remus...I like that name I said I didn't hear much else of what Emilee said cause I was to preoccupied with Remus who was smiling brightly at me now.

I noticed Chris' look at Remus almost immediately; it was pretty hard to miss. I also noticed that Sirius had seen it also. He looked at the two, then at me, and we both smiled mischievously. I cleared my throat, and the two looked at me, Remus was blushing slightly, knowing that he had been caught checking out my best friend, but Chris, as usual, was totally oblivious to everything. "What?" she asked, looking slightly confused, which was also very common with her, I mean, her natural hair color IS blond.

"I just asked were James and Peter had gone off too." I said, looking at Remus. I actually hadn't, but I knew it didn't matter, unless Sirius said something, which I made sure he didn't by putting my heel on top of his toes, applying just enough pressure to threaten. He must've gotten the idea, 'cause he didn't say a word.

Remus stuck his head out the compartment door and shouted, "Prongs, Wormtail, come back!" he then brought his head back in and took a seat next to Chris. "So, were are you from?" The two got into a conversation, each getting as much information as possible about each other, while also trying to get as close to each other as possible, without being too forward, or letting us know about it.

Prongs, or James Potter, and Wormtail, Peter Pettigrew, walked into the compartment just then. James and Sirius were known as the hottest looking guys at school, and to some, the most annoying. They were both to me. Ever since about 3rd year, when I first met these four trouble makers, I've had this huge crush on Sirius, along with half the female population at Hogwarts. James was like an older brother to me, except we were the same age. I didn't always agree with what he did, but he is really sweet, and has deflated his head over the last 2 years. Then there was Peter and Remus. Peter, oh were to start. He was a little annoying sometimes, and didn't have as many smarts and James and Sirius, either school or common, but he could also be really nice, and sort of fun to hang around with. Remus was the only one I could have a real conversation with. I've had a crush on him almost as long as I've had one on Sirius, but it has leveled down a whole lot, too almost not existing, and now, seeing the way he and Chris were looking at each other, it had totally disappeared.

"Hey," James said, taking a seat next to Sirius, "Em's, who's your new friend?"

"Well if you would've come back instead of marching down the hall like you owned everything, you would've heard it already," I said, not really wanting to do introductions. I wasn't being mean; I always gave James a hard time about having an ego, because of he's crush on Lily. Maybe I should tell you about Lily. Lily Evans is another 7th year Gryffindor, and has been my friend from the very beginning. I've known her since 1st year, being in the same dormitory, it was hard not to get to like her. James has had a crush on her since 3rd year, and she's been turning him down every time he's asked her out. Unknown to the public, though, she has currently taken notice to his "Nice hair, and fine abs.."

He looked jokingly offended, and stood up, "Well since you don't want to tell me, I'll just head off to my," He stuck out his chest, showing off a new badge, and said, very slowly, "Headboy meeting.." Then stood there, while I gaped at him.

"YOU'RE headboy?" I said. James smugly nodded his head at me. I turned to the other three guys, who looked like they were having a hard time not laughing.

"Aren't you surprised?!" I almost shrieked at them. Remus shrugged, "I'm in denial," Then he looked at James, who tried to hit him in the head. I then looked at Sirius, who shook his head, chuckling. "I was with him when he got the letter; I'm all worn out of being surprised."

I raised an eyebrow at Sirius, "Why were you at James' house, I thought your parents wouldn't let you leave the house during summer vacation." By the look Sirius got on his face, I knew there was something more to this. He looked at James, who nodded slowly, and turned back to me, "I sort of um, ran away from home."

I made a silent, 'o' with my mouth, and turned to Chris. She looked at me with confusion, again, on her face, and I shrugged. I may have known a lot about Sirius, maybe more then I would've liked, but we rarely talked about our family, or home life. Peter cleared his throat, which seemed to magically lift the tension in the room, and we all looked at him.

"Uh, James, don't you have somewhere to go?" He said, a little softly. Peter didn't really like having everyone's attention on him. That reminded me of something, and looking at James' badge, I remembered what it was. Everyone looked at me as I began to laugh, quite loudly and random. After a while I glanced at Chris, who, although was used to my randomness, looked at me as if I had just grown an extra head.

"L-L-Lily." I said, trying to catch my breath. I had introduced Chris and Lily once during summer holiday, and we had all hung out a lot, becoming 'The Three Musketeers' as we liked to call ourselves(or 'The Three Stooges as my dad called us). She quickly got the hint and started laughing, which set me off, and soon tears were running down our faces from laughing so much.

James' seem to have had enough, and, very crossly I might add, said, "What the hell are you two laughing at, and what does it have to do with Evans?!"

I looked up at James, quickly sobering up, and crossed my arms, "Well aren't we Mister Grumpy man? If you must know, we were just reveling in the fact that one; someone would make you a headboy, and two, the irony that Lily Evans also happens to be head girl."

"Sorry it's just your face was so hilarious I couldn't help myself…"I said wiping away laughing tears.

"You'll be sorry for it later, but now I've got to go…being headboy and all." He was throwing his head slightly back.

"Oh I'm worried!" I called after him as he headed down the small hall.

"You really should be your going to be pranked so bad." Sirius said laughing a little himself.

"Oh come one Sirius James shouldn't be that hard on her." Em's said smiling sweetly at him.

"Whatever he's probably just looking for a good person to be the first prank of the year." Remus said

"Alright what in the hell are you guys talking about?" I asked very much confused.

"Sirius and James are the biggest know pranksters at our school…not only that but there pretty much the best." Remus said as he got this look on his face that said "I know all so I'm better!" of course instead of getting frustrated at this…cause I hate people that are like that I was simply thinking he's so cute!

"So were you from?" Sirius asked changing the subject.

"I'm from Egypt." I said

"No way you don't even have the brownish black hair" Remus said getting that look again that made me go all gitty.

"Well I'm not originally from there…see I'm originally form here but then my mum and Da moved me there cause Da was so fascinated by the old mummies and stuff." I said shrugging once again.

Wow do you speak…like e...gipiness?" Sirius asked obviously trying to make the rest of us laugh.

It's Egyptian you stupid git." Emilee said lightly hitting him on the arm.


"Well do you?" he asked again.

"Yeah I pretty much had to learn it leaving there for the past 13 years." I said

"Do you get to go to the old tomes?" Remus asked

"Yeah like I said before my dad was in love with them so we pretty much went every weekend when he wasn't at work." I said amazed at how amazed he was by this.

"Have you been to that one with all the brilliant curses set up by the witches?" he asked even more interested.

"Yeah actually almost all of the are like that…well except for the muggles and there's are pretty much cursed to just a different kind of cursing." I shrugged having grown up in Egypt this kind of stuff was no longer exiting to me though I was glad that I had caught Remus' attention even if I did have to talk about something so boring to me.

I was long past bored with Chris' spill about Egypt. I admit I had been interested in it when I first met her, but after hearing her talk about it over and over again whenever I introduced her to new people, it got a little tiring. So, as everyone else was enthralled with Chris' story about the time when she was on the wrong end of an Egyptian curse, I stood up and walked to the door.

"Where are you going Em's?" Chris asked, probably in the middle of her story too. She may be a little blondish, but she can be really perceptive. I couldn't help but shrug.

"As much as I love you, I could probably quote all your stories by heart. I was just going to see if Lily and James were done with their meetings. You know, make sure she doesn't kill him...." I smiled sweetly and waved goodbye to them, then started to walk down the hall. I was shortly joined by Sirius though. I turned to him, one eyebrow raised, something I had just recently learned how to do. He shrugged, "Thought you may need some help keeping Lily off James."

"Don't say that again, that gave me weird thoughts," I said as he laughed. We passed by many compartments, stopping a few times to say hi to comrades and acquaintances. We were almost to the headboy/girl and prefects compartment, when we were stopped by Angelina Sanderson, a pretty little Ravenclaw who, on more then one occasion, I wished I could just strangle.

"Hello Sirius," she said, fluttering her little eyelashes. That's the thing I hated about her. She was such a girly girl. Not that I have anything against them, but they are always the girls that Sirius went after, and I'm probably about as different from a girly girl as, oh, let's say, a brick is different from water. Actually I don't know how different or similar they are, but you get the idea. My eyelashes were really long, and didn't flutter at all. I tried once, and it just looks like I have something in my eye, and I'm blinking to get it out. My brown hair is okay, I guess, it's a little curly, but my eyes were just a deep, murky, almost too dark to be brown, brown. Chris on the other hand, was in my opinion, a total babe, although if you asked her, she didn't think so, but don't you always think your friends are babes, but you're the ugliest person alive? She had short, strait, brown hair, dyed from blonde when she was finally able to, and sparkly green eyes. Her face was sprinkled with freckles, and she had awesome skin. I was insanely jealous.

"Hey Angelina." He said, switching to use his 'boyish charms'. It was amazing how many times I've been able to stand and watch him flirt with other girls. Okay now that I think about this, I'm making it seem like I'm in love with him or something. Well I'm not. Just think of normal 17 year old girl with a crush on her friend. That always sucks. Anyways, I wasn't in the mood for it now, so I moved to go past Angelina, and on towards my original destination, but Angelina had decided to move her hips a little, to do what I have know idea, but she bumped into me, and I went down to the ground. I've always been a little clumsy.

"Oh dear, are you alright?" She asked, holding out a hand. I looked at it shocked, this was not normal for Angelina, but suddenly got over it, and reached out to grab her hand. When I got really close to grabbing it though, she quickly pulled it away, and looked at her nails, "Oops. I forgot. New manicure."

I blushed brightly; as I brought my hand back down to push myself up. Sirius looked a little guilty that he hadn't helped me up, and I was slightly pissed at him. "No problem," I said, as I subconsciously dusted myself off, and turned around to go back to the compartment we had come from, deciding to wait for Lily and James to find the compartment themselves.

I sat there telling my stories as peter and Remus started at me with a little to much interested I got a little annoyed with the peter dude so I decided I should do something about getting him to leave "So um...peter..." I said turning my attention to him...obviously didn't like it so I new I had done the right thing right then. "What about you...um...what's your.... full name?" I asked thinking of the first question that came to my mind. Even though it was a lame one it worked.

"Um peter...p...p...Pettigrew" he stumbled out he then quickly stood up "I have to um...go to the bathroom." he said hurrying out of the compartment at last me and hotty were alone!

"Ok what was that all about?" Remus asked once we were alone.

"Sorry he was kind of annoying me" I said smiling my sweet little smiled.

"Yeah he does that sometime...usably I just tell him to go away, but what you did was smart... though I've never though of scaring him away." Remus said smiling a little

"I didn't know what else to do ok" I said defending myself. "So why don't you tell me about you now what you know quite a lot about me" I asked changing the subject.

"Well my full name is Remus John Lupin so now we don't have to worry about you asking me that." he said teasing me.

"It was the first question that came into my head ok" I said looking down.

"It's ok it got you what you wanted" he said I looked up into his eyes and I suddenly felt my plus race just a bit faster.

"Well I do try," I said shrugging. "So where do you live...what are you good at that kind of stuff." I said.

"Well I live in London...and I um...I like to oddly enough to read." he said.

"Really so do I only I really like muggle books 'cause they're better." I said, "no offence to the witches out there that write but they are better." I said.

"What are you talking about they're way better! The books witches write suck." Remus said making me laugh.

"You don't have to get angry about it I agreed with you remember?" I asked.

"Yes I realize this it's just that I hate people that won't even pick up a muggle book because there not good enough for them." Remus said rolling his eyes.

"Ok so you like to read what else do you like to do?" I asked just then Emilee walked into the compartment looking really rather frustrated and knowing her as well as I did I knew this was never a good sign.

"What's wrong?" Remus asked…obviously the very very wrong question to ask.

"Nothings wrong what's wrong with you?" She snapped back.

"No Lily then?" I hurried and butted in.

"I don't know I gave up on finding them. Those two can find there own way to the compartment. They don't need my help!" Em's said almost yelling I could feel her anger shooting at me like bursts of fire.

"So tell me about how I'll know which house I'm in." I said once again changing the subject.

"Well I told you about the sorting hat so you'll most likely do it that way but in Dumbledore's office or something" Emilee said shrugging. Just then Sirius walked into the compartment closely followed by a short bouncy girl with long strawberry blond hair. She obviously wasn't in our year but she seemed very happy that she was with…sadly enough Sirius.

I now took the chance to look at Em's, who was glaring harshly at the both of them 'I think I know what made em's so mad now' I thought looking at Remus to see if he had noticed what I had, but he seemed to be to preoccupied doing something else.

That was not the thing Sirius should've done, bringing Angelina into our compartment I mean. One look at her and I felt my blood boil. So I did the only thing I could think of that would keep my mind off of her. I grabbed one of my bags, rather quickly, as it was close to Sirius, opened it up, and pulled out, a book. Now I may not seem like it, but I love to read, and I was currently re-re-re-re-reading The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King. I tried to shrink down as far as I could into the seat, I guess to make myself seem smaller and out of place. I stayed there for most of the trip, only being interrupted by Lily and James as they came into the compartment.

"Look, another ironic thing," James was saying, as Lily and him sat down, "All of our friends are gathered nicely in one compartment." I looked up at Lily as she looked at me. We both rolled our eyes at each other and laughed. Lily came and sat down next to me since there was enough space to. Everyone seemed to think that to be safe they needed to be as far away from me as possible.

"Why are you reading?" She asked. I glared at the back of Angelina's head, which was currently tilted back as she laughed at something Sirius said. She looked and then sighed as she realized why. Angelina and I hadn't gotten along since I first met her on the train ride before first year. "What is she doing in here?"

"Sirius brought her here." I said threw clenched teeth. I then grumpily shrunk back again, and put my book up. Lily seemed to get the idea and started to talk to the rest of the group. As soon as we stopped at the station at Hogsmede, I was the first one off, and the first one into a carriage, although I was soon followed by Lily, Chris, Remus, and James. I did look out quickly, to see were Sirius was, but saw him climbing into another carriage, Angelina close behind, and sat grumpily back. This year was going to be interesting.
