Hey everyone! Sorry about the delay. I was at Hogwarts! (Universal Studios actually lol) Now I'm back and ready to write! This is my first time trying to write in a french accent so I hope I did alright. (I just started French courses)

Harry Potter and Marauders belongs to J.K. Rowling.

Celine belongs to me and Chloe belongs to CreativeDreamer98!

Enjoy!

(P.S. Forgive me... I made the Sirius/serious joke. I couldn't help myself :B teehee)

The train ride seemed to take much longer this year. Lily had a clue why. James Potter did not leave her alone the whole time. He invited himself in to her compartment with his gang and just chatted away. He'd brag about anything. How great quidditch season was going to be, how he looked forward to pranking the first years. And what did the others do? They egged him on of course. All Lily could do was stare out the window and pray that she could disappear amongst the crowd when they arrive. Unfortunately, no such luck. Lily must've run out of it last year. She could imagine how her day would be if she had some liquid luck. No Potter all day. That really would be the best day ever. Perhaps she'll have a chat with Professor Slughorn.

She finally managed to get away from him once in the Great Hall, taking a seat farther down between her friends. One specific friend of hers she knew would keep the Marauder's away.

"Lily! I saw what happened. I should've came over and gave that one a bat bogey hex for stalking you," Molly huffed.

Lily laughed, "Well I survived at least. Have a nice summer Molly?"

"Other than being grounded. I swear, all I did was sneak out with Arthur one night," she grinned mischievously.

"Oh my, how scandalous," Lily teased.

Molly was two grades over and Lily was sad that this would be her last year. Molly was the one who took her under her wing when she first started. Lily always admired how much she stuck up for her friends, proving this countless times with putting the Marauder's in their place.

"Chloe, did I see you flirting with Remus?" Molly teased, looking at the girl on Lily's other side.

Chloe turned bright red, "W-what?"

Lily giggled, "Aww leave her be Molly. She was just being friendly."

Chloe focused hard on the book she pulled out, afraid that if she didn't her affection for him might be too obvious. Unfortunately it didn't, as Molly had that knowing look in her eyes.

Lily glanced over to the Slytherin table, searching for someone specific. Unfortunately, said boy was surrounded by bad company. Lily frowned slightly, she hated seeing Severus with that crowd. She'd try talking to him later. Usually they rode the train together but she wasn't able to find him this year.

Her attention shifted as she watched the first years trek inside. She smiled. They were all so little.

James and Sirius looked over the first years and grinned. New bait. What would they do to mess with this batch? Maybe give them the wrong directions? Nah. Too boring. Offer them sickening treats? Eh, a little better. Tell them that McGonagall was a total pushover and they should show up to class 30 minutes late? Now that was much better.

Their attention was shifted as a blonde haired girl glided into the room behind the first years with enchanting poise. All the guys in the great hall seemed to automatically direct their attention to her while most of the girls frowned at the male populace's ogling.

Sirius grinned. This year just got way more interesting.

After the first years were sorted and seated, the girl stepped forward.

"And finally, transferring from Beauxbatons Academy of Magic, Miss Celine Rousseau," McGonagall announced.

The girl took a seat on the stool and waited as the Sorting Hat was placed on her head.

"Ah yes, I know just what to do with you. Gryffindor!" the Sorting Hat roared.

Sirius turned to Peter, who was sitting next to him, "Move. Now."

"Huh?" Peter looked at him confused.

"Hurry!" Sirius shoved him over, making a spot open next to him. James sniggered, knowing exactly what Sirius was planning.

Celine smiled and stood, heading straight for the table, conveniently right where Sirius was.

"Excusez-moi, is zis seat taken?" she smiled sweetly, nodding to the open space next to him.

"Been saving it just for you," Sirius smiled, turning all the charms on.

She giggled and sat next to him, "Zat is very kind of you."

"My pleasure. I'm Sirius by the way."

She looked at him confused, "Vy are you serious?"

He paused for a moment, knocked off guard. It's not like he hadn't heard that before. In fact, many people made the joke, James especially. He just did not expect this girl to actually say it.

He regained his composure and chuckled, "No, that's my name. Sirius."

"Oh! I am so sorry!" she gasped. "'ow rude of me!"

"No worries, I've heard it before. So what brings you to Hogwarts, Celine?"

"Professeur Dumblédore said I could get proper training 'ere."

"What kind of training?"

"Zat is for me to know only," she winked.

Sirius chuckled. Yup, he found his next girlfriend.
