So here is the next chapter! I hope you like it!
I don't own Harry Potter :(
"I can't believe I'm going to England!" Elizabeth says and squeals. Her parents were standing at the international airport, smiling at their daughter's excitement.
"Elizabeth, Rose has arrived sweetie." Her dad tells her.
Elizabeth pivots to around swiftly, spots her best friend, and runs over to help her with her luggage.
"Listen up students!" A strict says from their left. "Say your farewells now. The portkey for London will be leaving in ten minutes, the one for Paris will be leaving in fifteen minutes, and the one to Bulgaria will be leaving in twenty minutes. Have a wonderful, but educational, time everyone. And please remember, be on your best behavior because you are the faces of Sheerwood Academy. Thank you." The Deputy Headmaster tells them and goes to help some students.
Elizabeth turns and grabs Rose in a tight hug. As they pull apart, Rose sees that Elizabeth has tears rolling down her cheeks. "I'll miss you so much." Elizabeth says softly.
"I'll miss you too Elizabeth, but we can owl each other all the time." Rose says softly.
"Okay… I'll owl you soon." Elizabeth says and walks to the group who were going to England.
"Be safe…" Rose whispers softly, even though Elizabeth was too far away to hear her.
In England
Lily was dragging Remus who was dragging James, who was dragging Sirius, who was dragging the trolley with all of their trunks on it along the airport. Due to their owls, all four of them were getting very strange looks from the muggles at the airport, but they were also receiving two very amusing looks from professor Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall. "Oh Albus, who would have known that the Marauders and Miss Evans would become such close friends?" McGonagall asks Dumbledore.
"Yes Minerva, all thought I think that Miss Evans and Mr. Potter may soon become more." Dumbledore says and smiles.
"Yes, I believe that James is still smitten over her." Professor McGonagall say and chuckles.
"But I believe that Mr. Black will continue his dating circuit for some time yet." Dumbledore continues.
"And what of Mr. Lupin? I know we shouldn't be matching students and such, but those boys are special." McGonagall says.
"Yes, sadly Mr. Lupin is probably going to have some trouble in having a trusting relationship with his condition." Dumbledore sighs again. "Well, there is hope for him yet, and if I have the timing right, she will be arriving in around ten minutes." McGonagall smiles at the similarity that Remus and the transfer student share.
Meanwhile, the four students notice the two professors up ahead. "Are they talking about us?" Lily questions.
"No, they're probably just talking about me. I mean, who wouldn't want to talk about me?" Sirius says and smiles.
The others all turn and look at Sirius, rolling their eyes. "Get over yourself Padfoot." James comments.
By now, they had reached their headmaster and deputy. "Ah here we all are, now I want to make Miss Mires feel welcome. I know using the portkey can take a lot out of a person."
"We made a sign sir." Sirius boasted. On cue, Remus and James unrolled the banner that read 'Welcome Elizabeth Mires!'
A voice comes over the speaker. "Portkey from Chicago, USA is coming now."
McGonagall and Dumbledore stood either side of the banner while Lily and Remus held it up. James and Sirius, being the dramatic people they are, struck poses in front of the sign. Elizabeth comes out of the portkey with other people and look around. How am I supposed to find the people picking me up? Elizabeth thinks and looks around. She sees the group and laughs. She walks over to them and smiles.
"Hello, I am Sirius Black, but you may call me gorgeous, sexy, or anything along those lines." Sirius says with a flourished bow, then kisses her hand.
Elizabeth raises her eyebrows. "Hi… I'm Elizabeth."
"Hello, I'm Lily Evans, you have met Sirius." Lily says and indicates to Sirius. "Don't worry about him, he is mostly harmless. Just get a water bottle and spray him when he is getting out of hand." She says and gets a water bottle off of her belt and sprays Sirius. He hisses at her and backs up. She smirks as Elizabeth laughs. Lily points to James. "That is James Potter and the last one is Remus Lupin."
"Hello." Remus says and smiles shyly at her. Elizabeth smiles softly at him and Remus relaxes.
The other three and the professors were watching them with interest. "I think Moony has found himself a friend." Sirius snickers under his breath so that only Lily and James could hear. They smile in return and nod.
Meanwhile, Elizabeth turns to the teachers and says hello. "Hello, I am Professor Dumbledore, the Headmaster of Hogwarts, and this is Professor McGonagall, my Deputy Headmistress, Transfiguration teacher, and Head of the Gryffindor House. If you have any question that the kids can't answer, Professor McGonagall would be the best person to go to." Dumbledore explains. Sirius, James, and Lily join the group and James goes over to Elizabeth.
"Now tell me Elizabeth, do you play Quidditch?" He asks her and gets close to her face.
She looks at him and smiles. "Yes, it is practically my life."
"Awesome. I play chaser and am captain this year. Sirius is a beater. Lily and Remus just watch with our other friend Peter." James explains.
"Cool. Are there any open spots?" Elizabeth asks.
"Yeah, the seeker spot came available and we are holding tryouts three weeks into the term." James explains.
"That is great! I play seeker. I have since my second year at Sheerwood." Elizabeth says.
"Great!" James and Sirius say at the same time.
"You will have to get use to that. These two act like they are long lost twins." Lily explains to me.
"So what do we do now?" Sirius asks.
"I'm sure that Miss Mires is very tired and since you will be the only students in Hogwarts until September first, there is no point in using the Great Hall, so I have arranged you all to have dinner in the common room." Dumbledore explains.
That night, when Elizabeth sits down to eat, she was still amazed at the vastness of the castle. She had gotten the quick tour of the castle while walking up the steps. Tomorrow they would be giving her a more in depth tour.
"You think all this is amazing, wait till you see all the passageways we have found and the grounds." James says after the lamb roast in his mouth.
"Yeah, the lake is huge. We even have a giant squid and all. And then there is the forbidden forest and the Quidditch pitch." Sirius raved with a mouth full of potatoes.
"Don't talk with your mouth full Black." Lily says and glares at him. She maybe good friends with the boys, doesn't mean that she can't reprimand them.
After swallowing his food, Sirius mutters a "Sorry mom…"
Lily nods and turns to Elizabeth. "Don't go to the Whomping Willow." Lily warns her. "It's particularly vicious sometimes."
Elizabeth pales a little and nods. She looks down at her plate and eats a little. I hope they don't explore that tree anymore. I wouldn't want them to get hurt from me.
While everyone was raving about the school, Remus was watching Elizabeth closely. She is very withdrawn and looks kind of ill. He looks at her face and noticed some black marks under her eyes showing the lack of sleep. She was probably worried about coming here.
Elizabeth continues to eat, not realizing that someone was talking to her. "Elizabeth, are you okay?" Lily asks in a concerned tone and place a hand on Elizabeth's hand.
Elizabeth jumps slightly and draws her hand back. "S-Sorry. Yeah, just a little tired." She smiles softly at the red head.
"Well, we had better head up to the dormitories." James says and sighs.
"Why?" Remus says suddenly.
"What do you mean why? We have to sleep sometime and there isn't anything else to do today." Lily reasons.
"I know that, but why don't we sleep down here? We can conjure up some mattresses, get some food for later on tonight from the kitchen." Remus suggests.
"Yeah! Let's do it." Elizabeth says enthusiastically.
"Okay, we'll go in groups. First things first, El- I can't keep calling you Elizabeth. It is too long. I'm going to call you… Lizard." Sirius says and grins. "Lizard, what do you like midnight snacks and junk food?"
"Lizard? Really?" Elizabeth sighs and rolls her eyes. "Yes I love sleep overs. We would do this type of thing on Christmas holiday when there weren't as many students."
"Well you now get to do one Marauder style." James says. "What food should we get? Elizabeth," James stops and looks at Sirius. "You are right. Elizabeth is too long of a name." He looks at Elizabeth. "You are Lizzie to me." He say and nods. "So Lizzie, what food do you like?"
"Chocolate and gummy bears!" Elizabeth says. "And lots of it."
"Okay well you and Remus can go to the kitchen and order lots of junk food." James says.
"Check." Remus and Elizabeth say at the same time. They both blush slightly. The other three look at each other and start laughing.
After a couple of minutes, James points at Lily. "Okay, you go and make sure that this is okay with Dumbledore, while Sirius and I go get some Butterbeer."
Think is going to be so much fun! Elizabeth thinks as she feels someone pulling her by the arm lightly.
"Are you coming?" Remus asks with an excited twinkle in his eyes.
"Yeah, let's go get some food!" Elizabeth says and runs out of the common room.
Remus chases after her. "You don't even know the way!" He yells and laughs.
As the door closes, the other three look at each other and Sirius voices what they are all thinking. "I think we have found someone who is good enough for our little Moony."
"Yeah, but I hope if she finds out about his furry little problem that she'll… well…" Lily starts.
"As accepting as you were." James finishes for her.
They all now. "Well operation match up Moony and Lizard starts now." Sirius says.
"Defiantly." Lily says as James nods his approval. The three make their way out of the portrait hole, all thinking of ways to get the two together.
So there is that.
Reviews make my day so please review.
