A/N: Yay! I'm in a much better mood. I had a chocolate fix. I noticed that I'm using a lot of song references in my fics. I guess it is because I grew up with a very aged father and he listened to all these old songs. I grew up with them instead of the new age stuff. That is why half of the bands of today, I've never heard of – or care about, frankly. I would appreciate it if you guys would give me a few of your favourite songs from the olden days. I might use them.
On a different note, I'm sorry if my writing has been crap in the last few chapters, my best friends both just went through a double break-up. Ice cream all round! Anyways, sorry. I give you permission to send hate mail and publicly humiliate me – which is rather hard to do because I don't get embarrassed. Ever.
Disclaimer: You know the drill.
We continued screaming for a good three minutes after I stopped singing. The boys were blocking their ears, but we girls were still bouncing around.
"Shhhhhhhh!" Broadie hushed, putting a hand over my mouth.
I frowned and we all went quiet.
"Who is he?" Nikki asked in her loud voice.
Nikki is short, thin, has wavy dark-brown hair and green-brown eyes. She has been my best friend since first year. We grew up near each other but she moved away before we met. I've always thought Nikki has a thing for Sirius, but I can't be sure. What I love most about Nikki is her personality. She has a quick wit, the best manners in the world and is very loyal.
Broadie removed his hand so I could talk. "This is Broadie, he lives down the road."
Kayla beamed at him and started playing with her hair. Kayla was probably no less than one centimetre shorter than James. She has always been the tallest, not good when it comes to hide-and-seek though. Kayla has long, blonde-brown hair and deep blue eyes. She is the loudest of the group and can never be shut up.
"Hey, Evans," James called to her from the other side of the huge window. "Would you like to come stand over here?"
"Shove off, Potter."
Lily, the most hot-tempered girl I know. She has long, flowy red hair and the most beautiful emerald eyes I've ever seen. James has always been asking her out since I stopped talking. Maybe now I can give him a few tips. I ran to the front door while they were bickering, and sprinted out to them.
"Why are you speaking again?" Sara asked in her girly voice.
Sara has always been the shy one in the group. Not many people would really call her shy, but compared to our group, she is the quietest. Hell, she could probably match James' volume. Sara is a very petite girl. She is even shorter than Kayla. I come in at about the middle. She has black hair, Brazilian skin and very white teeth. I've always wanted to look like Sara.
"'Cause."
"But, what made you stop in the first place?" Broadie asked and I realised he has a very deep, penetrating voice.
I froze. I hadn't thought about that question before. I noticed, out of the corner of my eye, the Marauders stiffened. Wether that is because they know something or because they are over protective, I don't know. I looked back up at Broadie, to see him staring worriedly down at me.
"Oh, diddums. I didn't know you cared," I said, pinching his cheek. He grinned and we all silently sat down on the grass outside the window. They dropped the topic.
We sat there, staring around for a few moments in silence. I was thinking about Angie McKee, and how the girls that used to live down the road would always tease her.
"It sucks that I'm the only girl in this little town," I said miserably.
Sirius put his arm around me. "It's okay. Us lookers need to stick together, anyway."
We all laughed and normal conversation started. The Gryffindor girls introduced themselves to Broadie, which I had forgotten to do. We talked for ages. The Marauders talking to me – the girls talking to Broadie. I hated how the boys and girls didn't get along, apart from me.
"Hey?" Nikki asked slowly, grabbing everybody's attention. "Who are your new dorm mates?" she asked the Marauders.
It had totally slipped my mind. Timothy and John had left to go to some magic school in Canada. There were two places to fill in the boys' dorm. Broadie was giving us all a quizzical look.
"You guys all go to the same school? I thought you went to an all girls boarding school, Tory."
"No, it's a co-ed one," I replied, hoping he would fall for it.
"What's it called?" he asked.
I was about to make up some phoney name, but Sara, and her big mouth, got there first. "Hogwarts." We all expected him to say something about him not knowing about it, but he didn't.
"So you guys are witches and wizards too?"
I beamed. "You are a wizard?" I asked.
"Duh!" he said, chuckling. "I'm actually transferring to Hogwarts. Me and my twin, Toby. Oh, and my cousins, Rick and Lidia."
"Yay!" I screamed and hugged him. He looked shocked but hugged me back anyway. The rest of the group were giving me a disapproving look. "I didn't know you had a twin." I released him so he could breathe again, and stared up into his chocolate eyes. Yep, just as I though, just like James' eyes.
"We both went to a little magic school in Britain, and Toby would stay at home all holidays because he missed it so much. That's why you never see him."
I was so excited, I was practically bouncing. Broadie was a really nice guy and he was cool too. And, he was coming to Hogwarts. I was about to ask about if his twin was just like him, but I was interrupted by James.
"Er, Tory. Here comes your mother."
Crap.
Lily, Kayla, Sara and Nikki dived through the window and into the house.
Good Idea.
I pushed the boys after them and dived in too. We sprinted up to my room and slammed the door. The girls immediately dove under my bed, but there was nowhere for the guys to go. I was about to suggest they hide in the wardrobe, but my mother came bursting through the door.
"Hello, Tory. I... WHAT ARE THESE BOYS DOING IN YOUR ROOM AGAIN? THIS IS THE THIRD TIME I HAVE FOUND YOU ALONE WITH THEM. AND WEARING LITTLE CLOTHING." I forgot I was wearing my little shorts and tank top. Oops. "I AM IN MY RIGHT MIND TO BAN YOU FROM SEEING THEM AGAIN. FOR ALL I KNOW, YOU COULD BE DOING... STUFF WITH THEM." What stuff? "But I'm glad."
"What?" I yelled.
This took Mum by surprise. Oh, yeah. She didn't know I was speaking either. She smiled. "Well, it means you aren't a lesbian." With that, she made her exit.
That was probably the most embarrassing thing EVER.
