Disclaimer: Once again. I don't own Harry Potter or any of the character affiliated with him. This story is something of my own creation. The only character I own is Myra. And maybe some characters I add in later. Who knows?

Myra couldn't believe her ears as the Gryffindor table cheered. 'Damn that hat. I told him anything BUT Gryffindor,' she thought. She groaned as she got up and walked to the Gryffindor table.

"Hey Myra! Over here! Sit with us!" Sirius shouted over all the commotion. Myra rolled her eyes and went along with his ludicrous request. She plopped herself right beside Sirius so he was inbetween herself and James. She looked at the person beside her, one she hadn't seen on the train yet she was talking adamantly to the four boys.

"Myra, this is Lily Evans. Lily this is Myra. She sat with us on the train," Remus said, introducing the two girls.

"Hi Myra. Must've been murder sitting with these guys. So, transfer student, huh?" Lily inquired, leaning close to Myra.

Naturally Myra leaned back which ended with her in an awkward position with the animagus sitting beside her. Looking up wide-eyed, she caught his gaze, "Uh, sorry." She quickly corrected herself. The five gave a laugh as they watched Myra.

"It's not that funny," Myra mumbled out. The other five students stopped laughing for a second before laughing even harder. "Seriously guys!" Myra exclaimed, pounding her hands against the table and standing up.

The table went dead silent. Or atleast that section of the table did. The five Gryffindors stared at her, not knowing what to say. Calmly Myra sat down again and looked at the head table as Dumbledore cleared his throat.

"Another year has begun. And I have but a few announcements. The Forbidden Forest is exactly that: Forbidden. We would also like to remind students that wandering the corridors after hours is strictly forbidden," Dumbledore stated looking directly at the Marauders. "Not only are those forbidden but so is the third floor. No students are allowed. With that said, let the feast begin."

Dumbledore waved his arms and the food appeared on the gold platters spread throughout the tables. Myra couldn't believe her eyes. There was so much. She looked at Sirius and the amount he was putting on his plate. She didn't think she'd ever seen or eating that much food.

"What?" Sirius asked when he caught her looking between him and his plate. "I'm a growing boy."
Myra took her eyes off his plate and took some of the food for herself. She ate slowly savoring every bite as if it was her last. All the Marauders looked at her. She had very little on her plate compared to everyone else who had piled their plates with food. Even Lily had more on her plate than Myra. She then looked up at them. With a straight face she asked, "What?"

"It's just. Well. We were," Sirius started motioning to her plate.

"Maybe I'm just not hungry. Gosh it's not the end of the world." Myra then went back to eating her food as well as the others.

They stayed in the great hall until the food vanished from the plates. Only then did the group stand up and get moving. Myra stood up and followed them. She didn't walk with them but behind them. Sirius slowed down and lagged behind, something uncommon for the animagus. Usually him and James were leading the way.

"So, what was up with the whole dinner thing? And the whole walking behind us?" Sirius questioned. People had always told him he was too blunt for his own good. Curious as well.

Myra looked up at him. Why did he want to know? Why did they insist on this friendship between them? She had let them sit in the compartment with her on the train. Did in some twisted world make them friends rather than simple acquaintances? "Does it really matter all that much?"

"I guess not. But I'd like to know," Sirius said, paying attention to the stairs that they were climbing. He didn't need a repeat of last year where he fell up them.

She shrugged her shoulders. "I don't want to talk about it." She walked ahead of him where she was between Sirius and the Marauders.

He picked up his pace and fell in step beside her again. "You sure. I've heard talking about things helps relieve stress."

"I'm not stressed. At least I wasn't five minutes ago, before you started badgering me," Myra said looking at him, no emotion displayed on her face. "Now, if you please, I don't feel like talking in general."

At that point, they had reached the Gryffindor dorms. Myra looked at the portrait of the fat lady. "Rosa richardii," James said from behind her. The portrait sung open revealing the arch to the common room.

"M'Lady," Sirius said, doing a grand sweeping motion. Myra nodded to him and walked in. Sirius could only follow.

Myra mimicked Lily and sat on the couch in front of the fireplace. She curled her legs up underneath her and pulled her cloak over top of her. It wasn't that she was cold, she just needed that barrier from the outside world. They could never be let in. Not now, and not ever.

Lily gave Myra a sideways glance, wondering why she was covered when it wasn't even cold in the common room. Maybe she was just cold-natured. She then turned to look at the four guys looking at the two girls.

"So, tomorrow starts classes. Pranks anyone?" James asked, shrugging his shoulders. James had the mischievous glint in his eyes.

James and Sirius connected gazes and a smile broke out on the violet-eyed boy. "You know I'm always up for a good prank."

"It's the first day of classes boys. You should atleast wait a week or so. Let the first years get used to the castle before you mess everything up." Lily looked between the boys knowing they wouldn't care on her opinion.

"That's no fun, Evans. You gotta put the first years in their place as soon as possible. They need to know who are the kings around this place. And at Hogwarts the Marauders rule!" James threw his hands up in the air and Myra just curled into a smaller ball.

A/N: This story isn't high on my priority list but I have a lot of the scenes mapped out in my head. It just may take awhile til I get to them. A lot of chapters may be filler for the moment. Thanks for reading! Please review whether it be nice or mean. I like feedback.
