I sadly don't own anything you recognize its all JKR's imagination I'm borrowing. And no amount of wishing will change that. Darn. Anyway Dawn belongs to me. So enjoy here little world.

"They bloody well hate us mate." Sirius whispered as he ducked behind a book and out of sight. His eyes had been following the every movement of the brunette sitting across the library.

James nodded also staring off across the room. "I can't say I know why though."

"Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that to this day you two never apologized for the horrid prank you pulled on them in first year to embarrass them in front of the whole school." Remus, who had gone unnoticed up until then, stated. His eyes never left the Ancient Runes book in front of him but he knew his friends were reminiscing of the day they transfigure Dawn and Lily's school robes to their pajamas as they where being sorted. "Or the time James turned Lily's hair blue. Or the time Sirius jinxed Dawn in the halls. Or the time you two..."

"Alright alright we get the point. We're gits. Got it." James was getting angrier at himself the more Remus spoke.

"Speak for you're selves. They have no problem with me."

James made a face and Sirius stuck his tongue out as they both started shoving things in their bags.

"We can go now Moony." James said as he began to stand.

"What? Why? We just go here."

"Because, mate, they just left and if we hurry we can still catch them." Sirius explained as if it was the simplest thing in the world. After a moments wait as Remus packed his things away all three boys headed out in the direction they thought the two girls had left in.

"This is an unhealthy obsession you two have. And the more you stalk them, the less their going to like you."

"Moony you know nothing of women. Secretly Dawn loves the attention I give her and in only a matter of time I will win her over. Mark my words. By the end of this year Dawn and I will be dating."

"And me and Lily. She loves me you know." Both Remus and Sirius gave him a skeptical look. "What?! I f you can get Dawn to agree to go out with you I can most certainly get Lily to go out with me. Besides I have more of an opportunity to talk to Lily then you have to talk to Dawn. Me being head boy and all."

"Yes that is true. By the way what was Dumbledore thinking making you head boy?" Sirius asked James who answered with a shrug of his shoulders.

"Looking for you little mudboold girlfriends?" A nasally voice sounded from somewhere behind them.

Sirius and James both spun around, wands drawn, to face a younger wizard who had a nasty smirk on his face.

Remus looked on knowing that a fight was sure to come.

Sirius kept his eyes on the dark haired wizard who he regretted to call his brother.

"Do not call them that again. I would hate for you to have to tell mother why you look uglier then you already are."

As if unfazed by his older brothers threat Regulus began to pick at his nails. "Oh mum is going to be oh so pleased to hear that her son has become a blood traitor. Tell me, is the filthy little mudboold worth losing your inheritance for."

Before anything else was said Sirius shot a curse in his brothers direction. Regulus expertly maneuvered to the side and out of the cures's direct path.

However it did hit something or rather someone.

After realizing who it was both James and Sirius wished for the floor to devourer them.

Regulus laughed wickedly as Dawn began to inflate and turn a dark shad of blue. "I have to say brother that was a truly ingenious little curse there. I shall have to use that in the future."

"BLACK!" Dawn shrieked as she and Lily tried to stop the inflation. "Make it stop."

Sirius stared in horror as the girl in front of him grew to the size of Hagrid. Remus had to say the counter-curse before Lily decided to start calling professors to help her friend.

"I can not believe you. What is wrong with you? Remus I expected better." Lily begin to rant when she was assured her friend was alright. "The least you could do is keep you friends in line."

"Dawn, are you alright?" Sirius noted her tear stained cheeks as she quietly let Lily yell at them.

Roughly running her hands over her face to rid herself of the tears she turned to glare at Sirius.

"Leave me alone. Can we go know Lily? I think I've had quite enough for one day."

Lily nodded gently helping Dawn from the floor. "Yes lets go." Lily shot one more glare in their direction before walking away.

"What do you suppose is wrong with Dawn?" James asked also worried at her lack of involvement in the reprimanding.

"I'm not sure. But this may help me figure it out." Sirius picked up a navy blue envelope that sat forgotten on the floor.

"Padfoot maybe you shouldn't read it. It may be personal." Remus, ever the voice of reason, spoke.

Sirius hesitated for a moment before opening it anyway.

"This will not lead to good things." Remus mumbled to himself as James and Sirius read the letter.

Miss Sparks,

With the recent rise of dark magic it is my greatest regret to inform you that you're family has been asked to go into hiding. As such it is with my apologies that I ask that you do not owl or visit you family until all is settled. We have recently been informed that you family in particular is in grave danger. As you are safest at Hogwarts we asked that you do not leave the grounds unaccompanied. Professor Dumbledore shall help you make arrangements for after the school year if the situation still calls for the precaution. Please rest assured that the Ministry is doing all they can to stop these Dark Wizards.

Sincerely,

Gretichen Richardson
