Abby sat down on the stool and looked out and saw all the students watching her and whispering to their neighbors. The last thing she saw was a really cute guy whispering to Remus, and then she heard a voice in her head.

"Well, you're defiantly not a first year. You seem to have gone through a lot in the last couple of weeks. I see that you are truly intelligent and have a desire to learn but you're also a loyal person to your friends. You can be stubborn when you need to be and even when you don't, that may cause you a lot of problems. You have shown true bravery during your life and seem to be a strong young lady. I think you would fit in any house… although…"

What? She thought to herself. Where should I be?

"I can see that you really do for what you want, so you defiantly would be better off in….. GRYFFINFDOR!"

The Gryffindor table erupted in applause as Abby took of the hat and placed it back on the stool. Professor McGonagall took the stool away and into a door behind the Teachers Table. Abby walked over to where Lily was waving her over and sat across form Lily.

"Hey, it's great that we're in the same hose," Lily exclaimed, "Let me introduce you to my friends, Jacqueline Stewart, Rachel Prewitt, and Taylor Myers, my best friend."

"Hey, guys I'm Abby."

"Hey, nice to meet you," they all responded.

They all started eating the food that had miraculously appeared in front of them. Abby noticed right away how good the food was, reminding her of her boyfriend's mother's cooking. The girls started talking and had a lot of questions for Abby.

"So Abby, where did you use to go to school?" Taylor asked.

"Well I was actually home schooled by my mother," Abby said.

"Lily said that you're related to Dumbledore, is it true?" Rachel asked.

"What you think I lied?" Lily said teasingly.

"Umm… yeah he's my mother's uncle but, he's more like a grandfather to me. He's the only relative I have. Now that my family is gone he was nice enough to take me in," Abby confessed.

They continued asking questions until they all finished eating and Abby got up from the table. "I'm going to speak to my uncle real quick," Abby informed them.

"We'll wait for you and then take you to the dormitory, since you don't know you're way around yet, right Tay?" Lily asked Taylor.

"Yeah of course," Taylor responded.

"Well we're heading up we'll see you upstairs," Jackie said as she and Rachel got up from the table. They both walked away with the rest of the students heading for their dormitories.

"Okay" I replied.

"You know Abby, I think we should walk with you," Taylor offered.

"Why?" Abby wondered.

"You'll see," Lily said as she linked arms with Abby. The three girls headed towards the High Table when they were blocked by a group of guys.

"Hey I'm-," a tall blond started to say.

"Sorry boys we're in a hurry," Taylor said as she pushed her way through the guys.

"Taylor! That was rude," Abby exclaimed.

"Well we never would have finished with all the guys waiting to greet you, now go ahead, Lily and I will wait here," Taylor instructed and then turned to Lily and started chatting away.

"Thanks"

"Hello Uncle Albus," Abby said to her uncle, "thanks again for everything."

"There's no need to thank me. I see you've already made some friends," He said pointing to Lily and Taylor who were waiting for her, "I knew you'd fit. Do you have everything that you need? If not just ask and I'll see what I can do for you. Your mother would have loved to see you go Hogwarts, she was a very good student."

"Really? Thanks for everything and I'm fine, I still have another trunk that will be arriving in the next couple of days," Abby informed him.

"That's fine, now since it's only Friday you'll have time to get used to the castle before classes on Monday. I would like to have dinner with you on Sunday if that's alright with you?" Dumbledore asked.

"That would be great, goodnight Uncle Albus," Abby said smiling slightly.

"Goodnight Abby," He said.

"Ready? I can't wait to get to bed," Abby said to Lily and Taylor.

"Yeah, let's go," Taylor answered, "But don't think you'll get out of talking to us, we still have a lot of questions for you."

"Great," Abby said with a smile, "I have some questions too."

"Hello Ladies," said a voice.

"Oh no" Lily whispered.

"Hey Remus," Abby said.

"Hey Abby, I'm glad you got sorted into Gryffindor," Remus said sincerely

"Yeah me too" Abby responded.

Then Sirius and James started coughing in the background. "By the way these are my friends James Potter, Sirius Black, and Peter Petigrew," Remus said.

"Hi guys, I'm Abby St.James, nice to meet you all," Abby said politely.

"Hi," James and Peter greeted.

"Hello beautiful," Sirius said as he walked over to Abby and put an arm around her waist.

"Back off Black," Lily said warningly.

"I don't see her complaining, Evans" Sirius said.

"Can you just get off of me, please," Abby said as she shoved his hand off of her.

"What? Well you know I can give you a private tour of the school and show you all my favorite spots," Sirius whispered into Abby's ear.

"I'd rather get lost, then have you show me around, thank you very much," Abby said starting to get ticked off.

"What? Now I know you don't mean that. No one's ever said no to me." Sirius said confused.

"Glad I can be the first, I mean seriously what is your problem?" Abby asked him.

James and Remus looked on astonished that anyone would say "No" to Sirius and they looked over to Lily and Taylor to see them smirking.

"Me? You're the one with the problem. Who in their right mind would say no to ME? Come on," Sirius said bewildered.

"Um…Padfoot…" James said as he saw Abby getting mad.

"Shut it Prongs" Sirius snapped.

"Oh! Did I say no?" Abby asked sweetly.

"See? I knew something was wrong," Sirius said smugly

"I meant Hell No!" Abby shouted and stalked off towards the staircase.

James, Remus, and Peter tried to hide their laughter as Sirius stood in the same spot trying to comprehend what had just happened.

"That was brilliant" Taylor said as she and Lily quickly followed Abby.

Wait, I don't know where I'm going Abby thought to herself and tuned on her heel and came face to face with Lily and Taylor.

"Shit! You should warn somebody before you do that! You scared me," Taylor said as she tried to catch her breath,

"Sorry, but I only just realized I don't know where the hell I'm going," Abby explained.

"That's alright, but you're actually heading in the right direction until that last turn, that's why we were trying to catch up to you," Lily said.

"Come on let's go," Taylor said steering Abby in the right direction.

Jacqui looked up as Abby walked into the dorm and said, "Whoa, what happened? Why are you mad?"

"Well, Abby has had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Sirius Black," Lily said as she took a seat on Rachel's bed.

"What is his problem? He doesn't even know me, why would he ask me out? Then he acts so surprised that I turned him down. Like it's impossible that anyone say "no" to him. He acts like he's doing me a favor by asking me out and that he's so great. I hate people that are so conceited, arrogant, and pig headed like him. Ugh!" Abby said as she paced up and down the room.

"Wait! You turned him down! Oh I would have loved to see his face when you said that to him!" Rachel squealed.

"No one has really ever turned him down before, except…. Wait… I don't think I can even remember if anyone has ever turned him down," Jacqui said thoughtfully.

"I mean he's gone out or snogged with just about every girl in 5th, 6th, and 7th year. Except Lily, here, but that's only because he wouldn't do that to James," Rachel added.

"Come on, admit it, don't you think he's cute?' Taylor asked.

"Well… I did until I saw how bad his attitude is," Abby said truthfully, "I mean he wouldn't take "no" for an answer, and he didn't even bother to ask if I was single."

"Oh! I didn't know you have a boyfriend. Is he cute?" Jacqui asked.

"I think so, wait… I have pictures…." Abby began looking through her trunk and pulled out a blue box, "here, you can see for yourself."

Abby handed over a couple of pictures and the girls gathered around Jacqui to look at them. "He's so cute, Abby, Can we your other pictures?" Lily asked.

"Oh yeah sure, here" Abby handed over the box and sat on the floor with the girls as they looked through her pictures. They spent a couple of hours sitting on the floor talking and laughing. When they finally got to bed Abby fell asleep as soon as her head touched the pillow.

Boys Room

"What's her problem, why doesn't' she want to go out with me?" Sirius asked his friends once they had gotten to their dorm.

"Well, maybe it's because she already has a boyfriend," Remus said trying not to smile as Sirius paced the room.

"So, you said he doesn't go here, I mean he's miles away," Sirius said.

"Jeez Sirius, Remus said that she loved him. Why don't you leave her alone, she seems like a nice girl," James said sincerely.

"When the hells have I left a girl alone, besides she's hot," Sirius stated.

"Well she didn't seem real interested," Peter added.

"I think Lily's prettier, "James said quietly.

"Well, we know you'd feel that way," Remus said.

"Lily was looking good today don't you think?" James asked aloud.

"How do we answer that without getting him angry?" Peter whispered to Remus.

"Don't know," he answered shrugging his shoulders, "just don't answer."

The next morning, Abby was awakened by Lily, "Come on Abby, wake up it's already late and we all have to shower still. We shouldn't have stayed up so late."

"Alright I'm up," Abby said throwing off her covers.

"The bathroom's right through there," Taylor said pointing to a door not to far from Abby's bed.

"Thanks," Abby said as she grabbed her things and walked in to the bathroom.

"Abby, a trunk came for you and Rachel and I brought up here where do you want it? Jacqui asked.

"Oh just put next to my bed, thanks," Abby said as she came out of the bathroom drying her hair with a spell.

"What is in there?" Taylor asked, "What's with all the locks?"

"Oh, each time you open it the contents change, it depends which lock you unlock," Abby replied, "I have most of my clothes, shoes, books, and a lot of other things in there. I guess I'll just put over by my bed."

"Damn, you have a lot of clothes" Jacqui said as Abby looked through her trunk for a blue tank top.

"You guys can borrow anything, I don't mind" Abby said to the girls.

After all the girls had finished showering and changing they headed down to the Great Hall for breakfast. "Guys it's pretty late,we missed breakfast and lunch isn't for anothertwo hours," Lily said, "I knew we shouldn't have stayed up so late."

"Shit! I'm starving, I can't wait for two hours." Rachael said whining.

"Need help ladies?" a voice from behind them said.

"Sod of Potter, we don't need help, especially from you," Lily grumbled.

"Oh so your not hungry?" Sirrus asked innocently.

"Hungry? We're starv-"

"Shut up Jacqui" Lily interrupted, "I repeat Potter we don't need you, ok?"

"Well I do, I'm starving," Rachael said quickly.

"Yeah me too" Jacqui added.

"Guys!" Lily shouted incredulously.

"Come on Lily," Taylor said, "Lead the way, guys."

"Wait! Students aren't allowed into the kitchens," Lily said trying to convince the others.

"Shut up Lily," Rachael said as she grabbed Lily's arm.

"So how do you like the castle so far Abby," Remus asked as he walked with Abby.

"Oh it's great, although I'm sure I'll get lost before I know my way around here, it's just take some getting use to" Abby replied.

Taylor who was chatting with the other girls turned around and asked Remus, "How did you guys find the kitchens?"

"We know everything, of course" Sirrus answered before Remus could open his mouth, "We're just geniuses we found this place back when we were in second year."

"Actually, we found it by accident. We were running away from Filch when we came to a dead end and Peter was panicking and he backed into a painting. Then we heard a giggle and the painting swung open. We had to come back to find out how to open it," Remus said truthfully.

"Damn Remus can't you let me have some fun," Sirrus said complaining, "Here we are girls, now all you do is tickle the pear."

When the girls stepped in they were greeted by two excited house elves.

"Hey Toosie can we have some sandwiches and pumpkin juice please," James said as he potted the house elves.

"Right away mister Potter, right away," the house elf named Toosie replied happily before he scurried off.

"Come here often?" Lily asked.

"You can say that, "James said as he took a seat at a table. Sirrus too a seat next to him and Remus sat on his other side leaving Peter next to Sirrus.

The girls sat down on the opposite side of the table. Three house elves brought the sandwiches, pumpkin juice, along with a couple of other things they hadn't ordered.

"This looks great," Abby said as she reached for the pumpkin juice.

Everyone grabbed some food and started eating. Lily surprised by how much Sirius and James were eating asked, "Did You guys miss breakfast too?"

"No why?" Sirrus asked.

"No reason," Lily replied

"So Abby," Sirius said casually, "Are you feeling better today?"

"What are talking about?" Abby asked confused.

"Well you were in a really bad mood last night," Sirrus said frankly.

"Only because you put me in a bad mood," Abby said trying to remain calm.

"How did I do that?" Sirius asked.

"Well you wouldn't or couldn't realize that I don't want to go out with you," Abby said.

"Yeah, see you're in a bad mood that's the only reason I can find why you wouldn't want to go out with me," Sirrus said.

"Oh, so I wouldn't want to go out with you because I don't like you or because I have a boyfriend?" Abby asked starting to raise her voice.

"Padfoot, why don't you just stop," Peter said trying to stop his friend.

"What? Why?" Sirius asked.

"You know what, I'm leaving before I have an urge to strangle someone," Abby said getting up from the table.

"We'll come with, Abby," Lily said.

After the girls left, Sirius got up and said, "Well I'm off to find Miss Alicia Jacobs, see you guys later."

"You know I think Padfoot will have some trouble with Abby," James said thinking aloud, "but that means we can hang around Lily while Padfoot tries to charm Miss St.James."

The girls were walking around the castle trying to show Abby around. "Well Ladies it's been a pleasure but me and Rae are off, see you guys later," Jacqui said.

"You know it's pretty weird to hang out with Rae and Jacqui for so long," Taylor said, "I mean we do hang out and everything but it's usually me and Lily and then Rae and Jacqui."

So what do you want to do Abby," Taylor asked, "Hey! Watch where your going idiot!" she said as some guys pushed her.

"Well if it isn't the Mudblood and her friend," said a tall blond.

"Watch your mouth, Malfoy" Taylor said angrily.

"Just ignore him, Taylor, he isn't worth it," Lily said trying to avoid a fight.

"Fine but I'm only doing it for you Lils," Taylor said as she walked away, "One of these days I won't walk away. God! I can't wait till next year when he won't be here."

"Yeah, but then we'll have to watch out for Bellatrix Black she'll be the new head of the Slytherins and she won't hold back," Lily said.

"Don't worry about them, Abby, Lily is exaggerating we can take anyone," Taylor said confidently.

Later that day the three girls were in the Gryffindor common room chatting when Sirius Black came storming in followed by the rest of the Marauders, "Padfoot wait!" James said trying to get Sirius to talk to him.

Sirius refused to listen and ran up the boy's staircase and slammed the door to his dorm.

"Shit! Now what do we do?" James asked Remus.

"We can't do anything until we know what's wrong," Remus said taking a seat on a couch.

"Oh hey Lily!" James said as he spotted Lily sitting down, "I heard there's a Hogsmeade trip coming up."

"I know, Potter, after all I am a Prefect," Lily said.

"Right, well I thought maybe you'd like to go with me?" James asked hopefully.

"No," Lily said simply.

"Why not?" James asked.

"Because I don't want to," Lily said reading a magazine.

"Come on, it's not like you'll go with someone else, I mean you haven't been asked out by anyone," James said offhandedly.

"How the hell do you know if I've been asked out or not Potter!" Lily said angrily as she went up stairs.

"What did I do? Why is she in a bad mood?" James asked frowning.
