This story is not fact but fiction based on lives that are yet to be told though the mean so little in the large world we live in.

I do not own any of J.K's characters but my own Adele Morgan.

Chapter 9 – We were meant to be friends

I walked quietly into the common room trying not to be noticed. It was disserted due to the early hour of morning but my friends where all up. Lily was on the sofa reading with Dorcas while Mary and Alice were talking about quidditch. Sirius and Remus were playing chess while James stared at Lily. I got onto all fours and began to crawl past the couch. I got to Sirius's head when he turned to look at the clock. His eyes flickered on me then turned back. I continued to crawl faster getting closer to the dorms, when my ankle was hoisted magically upward. My wand fell to the floor with a clatter. Sirius was grinning while the others turned around when I started screaming.

""Put me down!!" I cried trying to grab my wand while keep the cotton shirt in place. As I snatched up my wand my top fell lower over my stomach. I pushed it back in place to see an amused James and Remus, and a bunch of appalled set of girls. James let out a laugh thumping Sirius on the back. Then I just snapped I had had enough.

"Expelliamus!" Sirius's wand shot out of his hand and I crashed to the floor. The common room was silenced but I didn't care.

"You three think that's funny do you?!? Making fun of someone who clearly wanted to be left alone!" I glared at Sirius, James rolled his eyes and I pounced.

"And you two joining in! Let's get a kick out of bullying a girl who thought she was your friend!" I stopped as tears began to fall and eyes bored a hole in my back.

"I hope you all go to hell!" I screamed before running to the girls dorms sobbing.

I burst into the dormitory, grabbing my robes and towel,

"Adele?" came the Lily's gentle voice.

"I'm fine!" I yelled before storming into the bathroom for a shower. When I emerged fully robed and with dried hair Alice and Dorcas had joined Lily. They all were all sat on Lily's bed waiting for me, I glanced at the clock it was only 8.20, we had to be at breakfast for 9. I looked at them, they all smiled, they were such good people.

"Sweetie?" Alice began, tears began pricking at my eyes,

"I'm okay" I managed to say before bursting into loud sobs, Alice hugged me allowing me to cry on her shoulder while Lily and Dorcas said soothing things of how it would be okay. When the tears subsided I took a big sniffed and determinedly said,

"let's go to breakfast." They exchanged looks,

"Are you sure?" Dorcas asked, I nodded, "I've already missed a day, let's go".

We descended the stairs chatting about lessons, I was with them for everything but muggle studies. As we got to the common room I saw the Marauders in the corner talking in hushed voices. We walked straight past towards the portrait hole.

"Adele!" it was Sirius, I clenched my fists and carried on walking, Alice and Lily linked arms with me in reassurance.

"Oih! Adele!" it was louder, he was catching up. Lily gave me a worried look and we sped up pushing quickly through the portrait hole.

"Lets go" Alice said brightly. We walked the rest of the way in silence. As we walked in I spotted Olly sat eating next to … m mouth dropped. How had the boys gotten here before us? I frowned but waved to Olly.

"Look there's Mary" Dorcas pointed. Mary was sat talking to Sirius with a dreamy look on her face.

"We should go sit with her." I said determinedly to answer the three friends glances. Lily sat next to Dorcas striking up conversation while I sat next to Olly with Alice at my side. I felt slightly better with Olly. Sure next to him was James Potter, opposite Remus Lupin and Sirius Black but he was like my protective shield.

"Hey you, it's nice to see you in clothes this time" He said winking. I grinned back and then grabbed the plate of sausages. After awhile I became aware that the Marauders were all staring at me and muttering.

A hand swooped over me pushing parchment at me,

"Your timetable Miss Morgan, you missed receiving it yesterday" said Professor McGonagall briefly before leaving for the staff table. I opened it and groaned.

"What is it?" Mary asked from under Sirius's arm.

"I have double Muggle studies first and you all have Astronomy!" I moaned banging my head on the table. Dorcas looked sympathetically over at me and Olly patted me on the back.

"Bad luck chickie, I've double astronomy with these four lovely ladies" he grinned gesturing to the girls.

"If only I had taken astronomy" James suddenly said "I could have been with my most beautiful Lily". Lily looked over at him,

"In your dreams Potter" she rose from the bench, Alice got up to.

"We're going to class, Mary, Dorcas are you coming?" Alice asked. Dorcas nodded and got up. Mary sighed and unwound herself from Sirius's arms. They left the hall leaving me with Olly and the Marauders. I looked to Olly who to my dismay was now getting up too.

"You're going?" I asked hoping he would stay.

"Yes little one, I've got to get up about 2,600 steps, I going to need a head start," he grinned making me smile slightly.

"I'll see you later" he called as he left. I turned back to my breakfast trying to ignore the boys who were moving closer on the bench.

"Adele?" It was Sirius again! I turned to see that they were all looking at me intently.

"What do you want Black?" I spat harshly, irritated by their persistence. They all looked shocked as they heard his surname.

"Addie please" Remus started,

"Don't call me that stupid name, I want nothing to do with you!" I hit back not wanting to hear him speak. They ridiculed me; it was like my Boggart was coming true but worse.

"Look just stay away from me!" I cried as James went to speak. I fled the hall tears pricking my eyes as I flew down the corridor and into an empty classroom. I leaned against the wall and fell apart. Holding my head in my hands I wiped away my silent tears.

I was very late to Muggle studies, as I entered the classroom the Professor had all ready started handing out the work.

"Sorry I'm late Professor, I – er – got lost" I murmured as the class looked at my red faced appearance.

"Not to worry, take a seat Miss Morgan" she gestured. I looked around for an empty seat, I found one and swore to myself. Shit! Why was the only spare seat next to the Marauders! I sighed throwing down my bag and refused to look at them. They talking quietly together but stayed clear of me. As the bell went I snatched up my things and ran from the room trying not to look at them.

And so my new routine began, week upon week, I would ignore them and their pleas. They still caused havoc and mayhem but they did seem a little half hearted. But I still did my best to avoid them until the night of October 17th.

Ohhh cliff hanger
