Hi, my name is Iris Turner. I'm a seventh year Ravenclaw and virtually invisible. I am so invisible I sometimes have to remind girls that I've had classes with since first year my name. My own roommates don't even remember my name half the time which is why I can honestly say that I have no idea how I got in this position.
Okay, well I guess I kind-of do know how I got in this situation. If I wasn't such a push-over this never would have happened, but I'm in Ravenclaw, we're known for being smart not brave, that was Gryffindor.
I can't believe I'm doing this. If I hadn't yelled at these girls in front of me for being so stupid about being angry with each other instead of the resident manwhore of the school, Sirius Black, I probably wouldn't even be here.
Well at least I know one thing for sure.
I am definitely going to regret this.

I was sitting in the library when I heard the familiar sounds of plungers. Now, I know what you're thinking, why in the world would there be plungers in the library? Well, they aren't really plungers. That was just a clever metaphor I came up with to describe Sirius Black's snogging sessions that he always seemed to have in the library whenever I just happened to be in there.
"Oh Sirius! Stop it!" Zara, his latest conquest, a 6th year girl from Hufflepuff, giggled.
I literally felt nauseated.
"Excuse me, is anyone sitting here?" A voice asked and I grinned up at the familiar face.
"Of course, Remus, you're looking better." I told him as he sat down across from me returning my smile as he pulled out his Ancient Runes book.
"Yeah they think it was just a little wizard cold, I probably should have gone to Madame Pomfery sooner. You know how she always makes a fuss." Remus said.
"Oh yes, I remember when I fell off my broom when I was a first year and broke my wrist and didn't go to her until after the lesson." I said remembering everyone laughing as I cried on the ground.
Yeah, my childhood wasn't that great.
Remus laughed, "You never told me that story."
"It's not generally something I like to brag about." I replied as there was a huge bump from behind us and another giggle. "Your best friend is a manwhore." I told him.
He grinned at me. "Which one?"
"Sirius Black! What the devil are you doing! This is a library not a broom cupboard! Get out of here this instance!" Madame Pince yelled.
"Ah, that one," Remus said.
Sirius came into view then with Zara clinging to his arm. "I'll see you later Sirius." She said giving him a kiss on the cheek before walking away.
"I'll see you beautiful." He called after her.
I rolled my eyes.
"Ah, Moony! What are you doing here with . . . er-?"
I slammed my book closed and smiled at Remus. "I'll see you in class tomorrow Remus."
"Yeah see you, Iris." He replied with another smile.
I picked up the rest of my books and slung them over my shoulder as I left the room. "Ow! Moony what was that for!" I heard Sirius say as I walked away.
"For being an idiot!"
ONE WEEK AGO
"Girls, you're never going to guess who just asked me out!" Rebecca, a girl from my year in Gryffindor squealed in our NEWT Potions class.
"Who?" One of her friends asked.
"Sirius Black!" She said.
Lily Evans, Sirius Black's best friend, James Potter's girlfriend – wow that was a mouth full – asked raising her eyebrows. "I thought he was dating that Hufflepuff Zara?"
"He was he said he broke it off with her yesterday because she was too clingy."
Lily looked like she wanted to say something, but held her tongue.
3 DAYS AGO
I was all ready twenty minutes late for Transfiguration because I overslept so I really wasn't caring who I ran over, but Ravenclaws were curious people so when I heard a loud bang come from a classroom that was supposed to be empty, I opened it up jumping back with a scream when two people fell back on the floor from leaning against the door. I was not surprised to find Sirius Black to be one of them, but I was surprised to find Willow, a Ravenclaw from my year on top of him. "Iris! What are you doing here?" She asked blushing violently as she stood up.
"I'm late to Transfiguration, speaking of which shouldn't you be there?"
Willow looked down at her watch before letting out a squeal, "oh crap, I'm late!" She ran inside to grab her bag before giving Sirius a kiss on the cheek and running off.
I stared at him in utter disgust while he obviously stared at her ass as she ran away. He finally realized I was still there and turned to me with some slight recognition in his eyes. "Hey, I know you! You're Remus's friend- er . . ."
I shook my head turning in the other direction. "I'm late."
2 DAYS AGO
I was sitting outside by the lake dipping my feet into the water reading my Potions book when all the drama started.
"It was so romantic. Sirius took me out here and we sat and watched the stars and then he took me for a ride on his broomstick. It was amazing." Zara said.
"Excuse me," Rebecca said from a few people over. "Who did you say you were talking about?"
Uh-oh this can't be good.
"My boyfriend, Sirius Black," she said. "Why? Jealous?"
"No, I must not have heard you right because Sirius Black is my boyfriend."
"Whoa, what? Sirius is my boyfriend!" and there goes Willow. This really can't be good.
And that was when the fighting started. I was pretty much ignoring everything going on until Zara fell on top of me. "Ouch!" I yelled.
"Whore!"
"Slut!"
"Man stealer!"
"Okay! That's enough!" There was a flash and suddenly there was a force surrounding the three girls blocking them from each other with Lily Evans in the middle with her "Head Girl" face on.
"Idiots," I mumbled under my breath.
"What was that?" Willow said looking at me with a glare in her eyes.
I closed my book with a sigh, I seemed to be doing a lot of that lately, and stood up. "I said you guys are idiots. Sirius Black is cheating on all of you and you're over here fighting with each other. It's ridiculous." I swung my bag over my shoulder and left catching Lily's gaze as I walked by and she looked very hard like she was trying not to laugh.
1 DAY AGO
"Iris we need to talk to you."
I looked up, this time from my Ancient Runes book, to find Willow, Zara, and Rebecca all in front of me. Oh crap. "What do you want?" I asked.
"Well, we thought about what you said yesterday and we realized that you were right." Rebecca said.
I raised my eyebrows at them.
"We're tired of playing Sirius Black's game. We want to get even." Zara said.
"And what exactly does that have to do with me?" I asked.
"Well, we have an idea," Willow said.
"And we need your help." Rebecca said.
"Why on Earth would you need my help?"
Rebecca and Willow sat down beside me while Zara sat on Willow's other side. "We want to get Sirius back for breaking our hearts, and the only way we could think to do that was to break his." Willow said.
"And that's where you come in." Zara added.
"Whoa, what?"
"Listen, you are the only girl that Sirius Black has not dated beside the ugly ones and Lily and since Lily's dating his best friend-"
"So she would never do it." Rebecca interrupted.
"And what makes you think I will?" I asked.
"Because you hate him," Zara said.
"I don't exactly-"
"Yes you do, don't you want to stop him from doing this again?"
"Imagine how many of your fellow witches you could save from heartbreak!"
"We need you Iris."
"Wouldn't you finally like to be someone?"
"If we pull this off, you'll be a legend!"
Remember what I said about being a pushover?
