"James!" a fellow fifth year screamed from somewhere down the train.
"Sirius, you have to see this" James said breathlessly bursting into the compartment
"Here we go" I whispered to myself. Another one of James' perfect pranks. Oh god save me.
"What did you do?" Sirius asked getting up. I wonder what did Mr. Potter do now?
"Cant explain" James said.
"Well then lets go" Sirius said running out of the compartment with James.
"Those two are the best" Katie said shaking her head and looking out the window
"What do you mean?" I asked. They're both ridicules
"Did you ever notice, how no matter what Sirius and James can make you laugh?" Katie asked me
"Yea" I said silently wondering what this was leading up too
"I think that makes them the best" she said getting up and leaving the room. I sat there and thought about it. But honestly it just made me think that she was going crazy. She always had those 'way out there' thoughts. I got up and followed Katie. She was sitting next to Remus, peter on the other side.
"Now what the hell was that about?" I asked sitting next to peter. Not my choice
"Nothing, just wanted to see Remus" Katie said
"Oh" I said silently. Sirius and James came strolling into the compartment. James made his way to sit next to me, but Sirius slipped behind him and sat down.
"Sirius what the?" James asked getting off of Sirius' lap.
"I wanted to sit here" Sirius said like a seven year old. James laughed and sat down on the other side of kitty
"Thanks" I whispered into Sirius' ear. I saw him grin.
When the train pulled into the station, everyone on the train was famished. We got off the train heading for the carriages. I always wondered what had pulled these. Sirius had told me that he sees these weird demented horses. And that the only reason he can see them is because when he was little he saw someone die in his family. But to be honest I don't think anyone believes Sirius, except for maybe the marauders.
"After you" Remus said helping me into a carriage. Kitty got in next, followed by Remus and peter. I assumed that James and Sirius had gotten into the one behind us.
"Still as beautiful as ever" Katie said as we pulled up. I looked at the school. I had never seen a more beautiful place. The castle was huge! It towered up into the sky. I looked down and walked up the steps to the main entrance. The huge oak doors were both open as people filled the entrance hall. Everyone sat down in the great hall waiting for the first years to come.
"I can't wait" I said sitting down Katie in front of me
"Favorite part of the year" Sirius said sitting down across from me next to Katie
"You say that every year" I said looking at him rub his hands together liking his lips.
"Because it's true" he said.
"Yea but we won't be eating for awhile" I told him
"Shih my stomach doesn't know that yet" Sirius said rubbing his stomach
"Whatever" I said turning around as the first years started to walk in. Katie was on the other side of the table right across from me, Sirius was on her left, and to the left of him was James. To the left of me was Remus, and to the left of him Peter. I watched the first year walk to the front of the hall. Some were shaking. I remembered how scared I was the first time I walked into the hall. All the other kids starring at you, you don't even know how they are going to sort you. And if you do, you don't know where you are going to be sorted into.
"Before we start the sorting ceremony, please let me inform you all that the forbidden forest is off limits. Also there is to be……… Let the sorting begin" (A/N sorry I just don't want to have a very long speech. So you can fill in what you think he'd say)
After the sorting
"I welcome you all to another wonderful year at Hogwarts, let the feast begin" he waved his hands and food appeared everywhere.
"Wow, I guess nothing has changed" Katie said referring to James and Sirius. They were shoving food into their mouths like it would disappear any moment
"That's just sick" I said turning back to my plate
"They do it, every year. At every meal, everyday" Katie said
"I know, and every time they do it, it's sick" I said not looking up from my plate.
"Well I'm hungry" Sirius said with a mouth full of food. I looked up at him. The face he was giving me was so funny.
"You're too cute" I said laughing
"Only cute?" HE asked
"Shut up" I said playfully
"I see how much I'm loved" he said sarcastically
"Aw, I love you Sirius, but only as a really hot Friend" I said. Thinking about what I just said. He looked at me funny, then smiled
"So now I'm hot" he asked
"Shut up" I said again. He smiled at me and continued eating.
"Honestly how much can you eat" I asked him, already full
"James ate more than me" he said. I looked at James who was talking to Remus, he glanced over at me when he heard his name but turned back to Remus
"Maybe, but your still eating" I said
"Ok, but you're the only person who can know this, my stomach is a bottomless pit" he said really seriously
"Shut up" I said laughing
"It's true" James said now joining the conversation. I went silent and looked at Sirius.
"Told ya" he said
"I honestly think, that you need help" I said teasingly turning to Katie.
"Ow" Sirius said. I turned my head to see what was going on. Both he and James were quiet. So I turned back to Katie
"Anyways isn't this your brothers last year?" I asked her
"Yea he's in seventh, actually he's right over there" Katie said pointing about halfway up the Gryffindor table. Her brother was talking to his friends. He had reddish brown hair that he spiked in the front. He was really tall and skinny, but built. It was fun to hang out with him, he always did the funniest things.
"Lily are you there?" Katie asked me. Apparently I had zoned out on the back wall.
"Yea" I said quietly
"Ok cause you kind of zoned out for a second" she told me
"Oh sorry about that" I said looking at her
"No problem, so whats up?" she asked
"Nothing just thinking" I said
"About what?" she asked
"I don't know" I said thinking
"How do you not know?" she asked
"I guess since I have so much stuff on my mind, that I can't think strait" I said still thinking
"Makes sense" she said
"What makes sense?" Sirius asked
"Nothing Sirius" I said looking over at him
"Fine… don't tell me" he said looking really sad
"Ok" Katie said. Sirius looked up
"Damn that usually works" he said quietly
"Idiot" James mumbled
"You a prefect again this year right?" I asked looking at Remus
"Yup" he said
"Have you ever found it weird, that you four are in detention for almost half the year, every year for the things you're supposed to stop, and yet you're still a prefect?" I asked him
"Yup" he said smiling
"Will the Prefects please lead you class mates to your common room. Head boy and Head girl I need to speak with you in my office" Dumbledore said
"Lets go" Remus said getting up, everyone behind him. They walked up the long staircases to the Gryffindor table. You could hear gasps from all the first years as they saw the pictures on the walls move. We finally got into the common room and sat on the couches.
"So…" Katie started trying to find something to talk about
"Hey guys" Felesha said walking in the room, She was about the same height as me and had long wavy dark blonde hair. She has light green eyes and was always smiling, Kat walked in behind her, Kat was also the same height with short black hair that went to a little bit above her shoulder, her originally brown eyes now had cat eye contacts. So they were yellow with a black strip in the middle. They walked over and sat in the chairs around the fire
"Hey" almost everyone said at the same time
"Where's Em?" I asked, and almost as if on queue em walked through the portrait, she a little taller than me had brown hair to her shoulders, she had brown hair and was usually the most energetic of the group. Katie was probably the one who had the weirdest thoughts that were way out there, and acted totally psycho sometimes but could always make you laugh. Plus she didn't really care what anyone thought of her so she was always experimenting changing her hair color and stuff. Felesha probably the quietist was the one who could make you think, always asking questions that didn't have answers. She was a lot like Katie in the sense that she had the same taste in clothes and stuff. And Kat, another hyper one; she is obsessed with a thing called anime. Or Japanese books from America. She can also speak some Japanese.
"Right there I'm guessing" Sirius said looking up
"I guess so" I said
"So what do we do now?" Katie asked thinking and starring at the ceiling
"Kit, Are you ok?" Sirius asked looking over at her
"Yea, why?" she asked
"Well you haven't moved since we got here, and you're staring blankly at the ceiling" he says
"Sirius, we've only been her for like a minute, and I'm trying to think" she said looking over at him
"Well I'm really tired so I'm going to go to bed" I said getting up and walking towards the stairs
"Night" everyone said
"Night" I said walking up the stairs, em came in a minute later, and before I fell asleep I remember everyone coming in but Katie.
