She looked around and saw everyone, except Remus, staring at her. Peter was smiling and Tama had half a mind to take Remus's book and pelt it at him.
"Oh…Um, anyone knows a good spell that their not teaching at school?" Tama asked.
James and Sirius grinned.
"Yeah, we do. And you don't have to say anything for it! Cool, huh?" James asked, taking out his wand.
Peter laughed and looked on as Sirius followed James then pointed his wand at Remus's book. It flew into the air, dangling upside down from an invisible string. Remus glared at James but the book came thudding back onto his lap as Sirius poked his wand at it. Tama laughed softly, glancing at the window before she gapped at the door. The wood and glass door slid open and a blond boy with grey, noticeable eyes stood outside.
"Is Shiratama here?" He asked in a slightly mocking voice.
James opened his mouth to say something sarcastic and mean but Peter squeaked and pointed to the girl. Sirius boxed him over the head and Remus looked up from his book as a smile broke out on Tama's face.
"Is that you?" She asked, standing up quickly, noticing the grey eyes.
The boy sneered and tossed James and Peter a disgusted look.
"I've never met you," he spat. "You really are weak. Father said the prophesized child would be in school this year but he never said who."
He glanced over his shoulder.
"Nothing here boys. Just a weak little girl," He said to two gorilla-looking adolescents.
Sirius whipped out his wand as Tama sat down again, looking a bit indifferent and gazing out the window sadly.
"Move Malfoy," he hissed.
The two gorillas laughed and cracked their knuckles as the blond chortled in a disturbing manner.
"So my little pretty, what's with the hair?" He questioned the girl.
She just continued to stare out the window, for it was usual for her to be pestered about her hair and eyes. This time James stood up, wand in hand, and glared daggers at them.
"Go away Malfoy!" He threatened. "Or I'll have you rolling on the ground howling in pain."
The blond gave him a scowl and turned to Tama.
"If you ever need a good friend, pretty, come look for Lucius. That's me."
With that he turned and stalked out of the carriage, his cronies following him like oversized dogs (except dogs looked nicer). James and Sirius sat back down, catching a glimpse of Remus, who sat in between Peter and James, stowing his wand into his robes. There was a pause then a silent rush to find their robes. After three minutes, they were settling back down, sort of embarrassed because they had changed in front of Tama but the girl did not seem to notice.
"Hey, Tama. We're nearly there!" Peter exclaimed, leaning across Remus to poke her knee.
Tama jumped and turned to face them, her mouth set in a small o shape. Her hair darkened to a light shade of blue as her lips dropped into a frown. Sirius noted this and nudged her in the ribs.
"Put on your robes!" Sirius urged, making a funny monkey face.
Tama forced a laugh then stood on the seat and fished through her belongings. Soon enough she pulled out a long robe and slipped it over her shoulders.
"There," She said dully, sitting down on the edge of her seat, her head on the window frame.
Remus frowned, marked his page then put the book in a trunk. If it wasn't his, he'd ask one of them for it later. The werewolf looked at the other and sighed, asking if she thought Lucius was someone she knew. Tama nodded and replied that she thought he was Raikou. The group empathized, although they did not know how someone could mistake Lucius for someone else.
"We're here," James announced, standing up.
" 'k," They all replied.
All the friends piled out onto the station to wait for the carriages, James spotting Lily in the process. The games keeper, a giant man by the name of Hagrid, greeted them as he called all the first years to him.
"Hi there Sirius, James, Remus! How 're yeh Peter?" Came the call from Hagrid.
"Hello Hagrid! I'm fine," Peter said.
Sirius tugged at Tama's arm, trying to get her to a free carriage.
James yelled to Hagrid as he climbed into the plain interior, "See you at the feast!"
Hagrid waved merrily, instructing the first years to follow him. Tama kept her silence on the ride to the castle but Remus joined in with the talk about summer vacation. Peter and James were the first to get out and the first to be soaked. Peeves was pelting water balloons in every possible direction then zooming off to get more. Remus was the cautious one as usual, Sirius and Tama following suit. He spied the poltergeist giving him his personal water balloon and raised his wand rather quickly, saying "Waddiwasi!"
The balloon reversed direction and smashed into Peeves, leaving him dripping wet with bits of stretched balloon hanging from his nose and hair. Tama shrieked with laughter, causing her to collect strange stares, then dashed after James with the air of a small child.
Minutes later, they were all seated at the Griffindor table, Peter at the Ravenclaw table 1, chatting and laughing. James was trying to talk to Lily, who was listening halfway then laughing at her friend, Stephanie's, joke, Sirius was trying to woo a fourth year girl with orange streaks in her brown hair and Peter was gleefully watching both endeavor in their 'tasks'. Then…
