It's just you're Subconscious

-Disclaimer- Sadly, I don't own Harry Potter, because if I did it probably would not be as big of a hit as it is, and I'd be rich, and not worrying how to pay rent. :)

-Author's Note- Humans make mistakes, so if I make a mistake in the "Potter World" please, do point it out, I have my books, but I can miss things, I've had help with the HP Lexicon as well.

"When you think you're attracted to someone, it's just your subconscious attracted to their subconscious…subconsciously."


Chapter One: Going Back

If you watched Sienna Costello, you would barely think she was a witch, let alone have any kind of magic in her. She seemed to be as Muggle as they came. She enjoyed electronics, and odd seventies music, and freaked out if anything unexplainable happened.

She was the last person you would expect to do the unexpected, go on any sort of adventure, or venture out into the unknowing. Subconsciously she was very curious about things that were unexplainable.

The subconscious was weird that way, how you're mind worked, Sienna's seemed to work in an odd way. She was curious, yet not curious, quiet yet not quiet, and shy but not shy. It was all too confusing for her. Yet Sienna seemed to be having one of those days. The kind of day where she felt sad, she had to leave for her school year.

Though, it wasn't that she didn't enjoy her school.

She was Muggle born, and that meant she couldn't really discuss what she learned, at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

After all, they were Muggles, and they wouldn't understand. It was her Seventh and final year at Hogwarts, and boy was it bittersweet.

She was excited, that she was soon going to go out into the Wizarding world and get a job. Yet, she didn't know if her and her friends would somehow grow apart, and since she was turning into an adult, would she ever see her parents again? Would they grow apart?

Seventeen proved to be an odd and hard age, for Sienna, things were changing, and perhaps they were changing a bit fast, for her.

Nevertheless she went on.

Sienna had just gotten out of the shower; she would be leaving for Hogwarts, in two hours. She grabbed some black pants that had a stretchy material to them; she slipped them on and then grabbed a white T-shirt and slipped it on. She really didn't care much, at this point, to stand and impress. It was early, and all she was thinking about was how she wished, she could climb back in bed.

She looked at her red hair and groaned, she didn't really feel like brushing it, but she knew, if she didn't, it would become a rat's nest. She ran a brush through her hair, enough to make it look good and then she grabbed her trunk and coat, and drug it downstairs.

The noise of the trunk, being drug downstairs, got the attention of her Mother, Mrs. Costello, who was currently finishing up with breakfast.

Sienna reached the end of the stairs and dropped the trunk with a 'thud'. "Mum, what's for breakfast?" She asked dragging her feet along.

Mrs. Costello sighed, "Sienna, please, put you're trunk by the door, not in the middle of the walk way." She said in a very motherly tone, making Sienna cringe.

Sienna looked over and saw she sat it down, right in front of the stairwell. She groaned and walked back over and drug it to the door, "Happy?" She asked walking back to see her mother sitting down a plate of eggs, bacon and pancakes.

Mrs. Costello smiled, "Yes, now come eat." She said, sitting down at the table.

Sienna grinned, "Whoa, it's all my favorites, what's the occasion?" She asked sitting down, and taking a hearty swig of Orange juice.

"Oh, well, it's the start of you're last year, and I thought I'd make something special." She said, tearing up a little.

Sienna set her glass down and sighed, "Mum," She whined, "Don't cry, it's no big deal." She said slouching a little.

Mrs. Costello sighed, "It is a big deal! You're growing up!" She said pulling out a handkerchief.

Sienna sighed, taking a bite of her food as her mother continued to sniff, and tear, "Seems like only yesterday I gave birth to you." She muttered.

Sienna sighed; somehow, her mother seemed to get emotional, when things didn't need to get emotional. At least that's what Sienna thought.

The rest of the morning was spent with Sienna staying quiet and her mother crying or hugging her. Sienna just didn't understand what the big deal was, although her mother would say, "Just wait till you have children, and then you'll understand."

Sienna was scared, it was her final year, and would she come home, or find a place to live? It was scary; there would be no one there to tell her where to go or what to do.

"Sienna, come on! It's time to go to Kings Cross!" She heard her mother yell into the living room, where Sienna was currently watching TV.

If you could call it that, her subconscious was watching the TV, but she was really thinking about where she was going. She looked up dazed, "Kay, mum." She said, shaking out of her trance and turning the TV off.

She had to admit, she was excited to see her friends, Ana for one. She had missed her terribly, even if she did come to visit, it was few and far between.

There was also Lily, a redhead like Sienna, they were also close. They were also 7th years, she had met Ana and Lily in the 1st year. Lily and Sienna had gotten along great, but Ana and Sienna; well they couldn't stand each other.

It wasn't until 2nd year that they finally got along, and who knew that Ana Travers and Sienna Costello would be as close as they are today, nearly inseparable. No one would have guessed, because every chance they got, they were slamming each other, with rude insults.

It wasn't until 2nd year, where Lily was too busy to help with Sienna's homework. It was then where Ana offered to be human and help. It was also then when Sienna tried to be human and let her help, but instead of studying, they found themselves messing around more then anything.

It was then, when they hit it off.

Sienna smiled wistfully at the memory as she climbed into her mothers beat up Chevrolet. Her mother started the car, it detested a little, but soon started up and they sped off to Kings Cross station.

There seemed to be an uncomfortable silence, before her mother spoke up, "So will you be coming home after this year?" She asked.

Sienna shrugged, "I don't know mum. I don't really wanna think about it. I guess I'll write you when the time comes."

Her mother chuckled nervously, "Well, I hope you write to me throughout the year as well." She said, trying to lighten the mood, "Besides, you have a whole school year to think about it. Just enjoy the time you have." She said noticing Sienna's uneasiness towards the subject.

"Of course I'll write I always do." She said, after that, it was filled with silence again, Sienna was excited to see her friends, she could barely wait to see Ana and Lily.

Of course, there was the Marauder's as well; they consisted of Sirius Black, a somewhat arrogant boy, but quite handsome and Ana's love interest. There was James Potter; he was the leader of the group and somewhat arrogant as well. He liked Lily, and even if she didn't want to admit it, she liked him too.

There was also Remus Lupin, a very studious and shy boy. Sienna had taken a liking to him; there was something that attracted her to him.

Then last but not least, Peter Pettigrew, he was a stout boy, not too good with magic, and he had watery looking eyes. He wasn't ugly, but he wasn't handsome either. He wasn't very popular; he usually followed along with James, Remus and Sirius.

"We're here." Mrs. Costello said, breaking Sienna out of her thoughts.

She sat up, from looking out the window and smiled, "Thanks Mum." She said leaning over and giving her a hug goodbye.

"Wow, I never get hugs." Mrs. Costello teased her daughter, who laughed in return.

"I'll write, to you as soon as I can!" She called, after getting her trunk out of the back seat.

"You better!" Mrs. Costello said teasingly as she drove off, Sienna smiled feeling seemingly better.

Kings Cross was always busy, people running about, pushing and shoving, Children crying, and curses being yelled to one from another.

Sienna shook her head and smiled, heading to Platforms 9 and 10, so she could get to Platform 9-3/4, that lead to the Hogwarts Express.

She looked around and made sure no one was looking, she then walked right through the wall, and of course Muggles couldn't see it, because they would deny magic even if it was slapping them in the face. Yet, Sienna knew long ago, that it was just the ignorance of some Muggles.

She smiled stepping through, seeing the bright red train, with the words, "Hogwarts Express" written on it. She pulled her trunk along, looking for any signs of her friends.

She walked up, to a man, who took her trunk, but before he did, she pulled out her robes to slip on over her normal clothes.

"Have you seen a redhead and a blonde?" She asked the man as he put her trunk inside the train.

"I've seen a lot, of people today missy." He said gruffly as he turned around.

"Oh, well thanks anyway." She replied, slightly wondering if she should go in and find a compartment, or wait for her friends.

She was just about to climb onto the train when she heard, "Sienna! Going on without you're friends, shame on you!" She smiled, stepping back down and turning around to see a redhead running towards her, trunk in hand.

"Lily!" Sienna exclaimed, happily, giving her friend a big hug, she hadn't seen her in a few months.

"Hey! What about me?" It was Ana; she peeked around Lily with a playful glare on her face.

Sienna laughed, "Aw, I love you too Ana." She said giving her a hug.

The man took their trunks and put them into the train, "Let's find a compartment before Black and his buddies, come." Ana said somewhat grudgingly.

Lily rolled her eyes, "Oh yes and I'm sure he'll come with Potter, his wooing sidekick, to woo the girls." She said as they walked the narrow hall towards an empty compartment.

Sienna sniggered, "He'll mainly come to woo you." She pointed out, making Ana snigger along.

"Oh, you two are hopeless! It's not like he'll come without Remus Sienna." Lily pointed out, smirking.

Sienna growled, "I don't know why, you insist I like him." She said sitting down with Ana and Lily, with their robes finally on.

"Oh, let me take a shot in the dark," Ana began, "Maybe it's because you do like him." She said.

"Right, what about Black Ana?" Sienna shot back as the train started to move.

"What about me?" Said an amused voice, all three girls looked up to see Sirius Black and his buddies standing at the compartment door.

"Oh, go hump a pole Black." Ana retorted, sticking her tongue out at him, not mature but Sienna could tell she really didn't care.

"Yeah, we were just saying, how unattractive you are." Sienna said quickly trying to come up with an excuse as to why they were discussing him.

Sirius rolled his eyes and plopped himself down next to Ana, he threw an arm around her and grinned, "Date?" He asked.

Ana rolled her eyes, and shoved his arm off, "I'll not and say I did." She replied.

"Well, at least, it'll look like we did." He said, referring to her comment and his reputation.

"It was a figure of speech." Lily said looking at him with an arched eyebrow, "I thought you would have known that, you being the masters of universe." She said sardonically.

Sirius grinned, "Aw, thanks Lily, I always knew you appreciated our greatness." He said either missing the sarcasm or choosing to ignore it.

James pushed past Peter and sat down, next to Lily, "Evans-"He began.

Lily ignored him standing up, "It's time for our meetings, we are Head Girl and Boy." She said walking out.

"That we are." He said wiggling his eyebrows suggestively, as he followed her.

"Is that all, you boys think about is girls and sex?" Sienna asked.

Remus sat down next to her, and shrugged, "Not all, I guess…" He said pulling a book out and reading.

Sienna raised her eyebrow, "You read too much," She commented.

"I do not, I just like to read, and if I remember last year, you spent days reading that Muggle book, 'The Lord of the Rings'" He stated.

Sienna frowned, trying not to blush, "Why, do you insist on being right all the time?" She asked.

"I don't!" He defended.

"You do too!" She replied back.

"I was simply stating a fact, you're just mad because it's true." He said, returning to his book.

She huffed, she hated when he was right, and she hated it even more, when he hit the nail on the head, Ana was grinning and wiggling her eyebrows and trying to ignore Sirius' advances on her.

Sienna sighed it was good to be back.
