I'm back. I had a snow day on Friday so I got a lot more done. So happy! I love snow days but now I'm going to have so much work for tomorrow. .

Chapter two will take place at Luke and Lance's house. Marceline has been staying there since the beginning for summer break and she is excited and nervous about meeting Maria tomorrow.

Marceline's POV

"Don't worry Marcy, Maria will love you." Lance, Luke's twin assured me again. "Maria has a heart of gold that matches her beautiful locks. You have nothing to worry about. Right Luke?"

My boyfriend smiled lovely at me before returning to his breakfast of sunny-side up eggs and bacon.

"Luke?" Lance asked again

"Sure. I guess. She did push me in the lake."

"Because you were flirting with her and her friends." Lance snapped back

Luke got quiet and looked up at me. "Marcy, love, that's in the pass, let's talk about something else." He then went back to eating.

Lance also became awkward and excused himself, his half eaten eggs were still warm.

I moved over to sit next to Luke.

"Luke, don't worry about it. I understand , they are the most popular and beautiful girls in our grade." I smiled kindly at him, resting my hand on his. "I know you would never cheat on me."

"Thanks babe." He said, going back to eating.

I rolled my eyes and started to eat my own breakfast. His mother made it before having to run to the office. She is a police officer, it's like being an Auror but for muggles. His father left earlier this morning for work.

Lily was still fast asleep.

I couldn't help but love this family. Life is hectic at home, father and my stepmother don't get along anymore, it bothers me when I see them fighting. I feel even worst when I am relieved I am no longer the subject of her hate. I have two half-siblings, both spoiled and well loved. My father doesn't pay that much attention to me, sadly, I am ok with that. He used to but every time he would go to work my Stepmother would beat me. I still haven't told him but I highly doubt it would matter.

We live in an apartment in Paris, France. It is a beautiful city. I'm worried that my French has gotten to rusty. The only reason why I am going to Hogwarts is because stepmother doesn't want me to go Beauxbaton Academy of Magic, where my half-siblings will be going to in a few years. I'm not complaining, I love Hogwarts and I cannot wait to get back to school.

I see my mother sometimes but she lives in States now and has no more time for me. She has a new family, a husband and three children, all younger than me.

I feel alone, being the only child in a broken marriage while both of my parents have moved on forgetting to bring me along.

But, Luke makes it all better. I truly feel happy when I'm with him and his family. I get to see a "normal" family and being a part of it, only for a few weeks, makes me giddy with joy.

I still haven't told Luke my family problems, I don't want to bother him with the boring details of my life. He doesn't deserve that.

He deserves the perfect girlfriend and that is what I aim to be. His perfect girlfriend.

I headed upstairs to get ready for the day. Luke was going to take me out in London which is only floo away.

I look in the mirror and I could help but compare myself to the beautiful Maria, Lance's girlfriend. I know Luke compares us in his head. I understand that I can never match up to her and I am truly grateful out of all the girls in our grade who likes him, he picked me.

I took my brush and started to go through my wavy thick dark brown hair. The ends of my bob was becoming jagged, but it still had a dull shine to it.

My eyes were not her, she has these sparkling sapphires and I have dull brown eyes that barely ever catch the light.

I shook my head, putting down the brush and shook my head. No, I am beautiful. I must be since I am dating Luke.

I turned to my closet, I didn't bring any summer clothes to Hogwarts and I only just received of the rest of my wardrobe even though I asked my father two weeks ago.

I picked a nice summer dress, it was white with a lace bib and lace trimming. I paired it up with a pair of gladiator sandals.

I grabbed a mini cross body, tooled leather and a brass clasp and head out to see Luke waiting their at the end of the stairs.

Running down the stairs and into his arms, he looked confused but hugged me back.

"Everything alright?" He asked

"Yes, everything."

He nodded and we walked over to his fireplace, there was a glass jar of floo powder on top of the mantle.

I stepped into the fire place and called out "Diagon Alley." And whoosh, I was rushing pass other fire places until I collided with one of the fire places connected to Diagon alley.

We were going to muggle London since I never been in the muggle part. Luke says his mum adores London and he believes it would a nice date.

I turned to see Luke, his hair messier than usual, look up at me with a rugged grin.

"Let's go."

We walked in silent as we went through the pub to get to the muggles.

"I'm worried, what if they see why are not muggles?" I asked

"Marcy, everything will be fine. Quit worrying."

I got quiet and felt him sign.

"Sorry." He replied, slightly putting pressure on his hand.

"No, no, it's fine. I shouldn't bother you." I smiled up at him, returning the hand squeeze. He smiled and nodded and we walked the rest of the way in comfortable silence.

"Wow." I replied, looking up at a huge tower with a clock on it. I find it so wonderful that muggles have come so far.

"That's Big Ben. If you like we can get closer." I nodded and we ran across the street, missing puddles that were left over from yesterday's shower.

"and there is the London Eye." Luke pointed out to me. I turned and saw a giant contraction, it was a wheel with rooms on it and it goes in circles.

"It looks like fun, if we have time can we go on that too?" I asked.

"Of course." He replied, "This is our day together, I want it to be special." He pressed his lips to my forehead.

We had such a wonderful time going around London, we did everything he pointed out and much more. We saw the changing of the Guards at a beautiful mansion, Luke told me the name but I don't remember.

He got me fish and chips, a wonderful salty fast food they serve here. Luke said they are known for it. It was so very delicious.

The London Eye was amazing, I loved holding on to him as we reached the top. Luke was upset I didn't tell him I was slightly scared of heights but he forgave me.

"That was wonderful" I cried out. We were in Diagon Alley and were going out to eat soon. Hugging Luke again, only this time he stiffened and ignored me, walking over to a couple of boys I didn't know but recognized from Hogwarts, they were Luke's friend. I quickly looked down and followed silently.

Luke motioned for me to hurry and I quickly came to his side.

"Shagged her mate?" a boy with dark brown hair asked, he was lanky and was slouchy against the wall.

I blushed and went behind Luke. Luke didn't say anything.

"You haven't, have you?" Another boy asked, his hair was cropped short in a buz cut, he was a ginger but not like the Weasely's bright fiery hair.

"It's none of your business." Luke snapped, both boys got quiet as their leader got angry.

"Luke, let's go." I tugged on his sleeve. He whipped around facing me.

"Go and get us our seats. I'll me up with you."

"But –"

"Not buts." Luke said, pressing his lips coldly to my forehead. "Just go please."

"How long?" I asked, worried.

"Don't ask questions. Go." He commanded.

I nodded, giving him a tiny peck and hurried around the corner. I was worried and decided to just make a circle so I can hear their conversation.

I reached into my bag and brought out of stout, it was only 6 ½ inches long, poplar with a dragon heartstring core.

Ready to strike with anything bad would happen. I crawled over into the corner and heard their conversation.

"You got the spiffs?" Luke asked

"Of course."

"Good. You have no idea how much I miss them."

"Even more than your girlfriend?" asked the boy with the buzz cut.

"Is there a problem with her?" Luke snapped. "Just because you, Adam, can't get a girl doesn't mean I can't."

Adam huffed and gave a little shove to the boy next to him.

He pulled out a pack of spiffs and they started to enjoy smoking.

"On the piss tonight?" the other boy asked

"No." Luke answered, "Marceline would hate that. I couldn't do that to her."

"Luke has a heart." Adam snickered.

"Every does dumbass." Luke responded, he flicked his used spiff on the street and walked off.

"Where you heading?"

"I have a date with my girlfriend to finish. I'll owl you sooner or later."

"Luke walked off and I quickly ran to the restaurant, hoping to get their before he did.

I bumped into someone.

"I'm sorry, I –"

"Marceline. Where you listening to my conversation." Luke asked, his grip on my shoulder got harder as he said each word.

"I, I, I won't say a word to anyone. I promise." I squeaked.

"Good." He released me before turning away and we walked in silence to the restaurant.

I looked scared and kept looking over my shoulder for his friends but I couldn't see them anywhere in sight.

We were sitting down, enjoying our dinner in an awkward silence.

"I –" We said at the same time, we smiled and gestured for the other to begin.

"I'm sorry for my behavior. I shouldn't have spoken to them in the first place."

"I'm sorry for listening in. I was just worried."

He smiled "I know. I'm sorry for worrying you." He turned and looked out the window. "Adam and Louise are my friends from school. We usually smoke a little bit and get a bit high but don't worry."

"Why did you want me to leave?" I asked, "You know I will accept everything and anything about you."

"Because I don't want you to ever smoke." Luke looked up at me.

"You deserve better."

"No!" I yelled, a few heads turned and I felt myself grow hot. I quietly began to sputter out "Please, please, don't break up with me. You are better, you make me better. I-"

He smiled. "But you are wrong. I am a bad influence on you."

"Don't please. Don't, let's not have this conversation. I want to be with you." I took a breath of air. "Ever since you asked me out, out of the blue. I've been so happy."

"I'm glad." He smiled, "I don't want to break up with you."

I smiled and we finished out food.

He took my arm and we walked entangled in one each other, enjoying the less busy streets of Diagon Alley at dark. The warm night air made us at ease.

We flooed to his house. Lance was sitting at the dinner room table, reading his charms book. His wand behind his ear as he started to write on a piece of parchment.

"Welcome home." Lance said, his eyes never leaving the paper.

"Got any word from Maria?" Luke asked

"Yes" He looked up and held out a note. "She just send it a few minutes ago. We will be picking her up tomorrow at nine."

"Nice."

Luke shrugged and took my hand, leading me up to his and Lance's room. I was sleeping in the guest room. Maria will be joining me.

I found it rather comical; a black line separated the room into two equal parts. One was messy, clothes were piled up on the desk and his bed unmade, parts of the sheets were hanging on the floor. There were posters everywhere of different muggle and magical bands. I turned away from the rather large poster of a risqué blonde women. His books were still on in his open luggage that was at the end of his bed, opening. I could tell Luke started to unpack but stopped halfway through.

The other half could be featured in a magazine. Everything was put away and there wasn't much in sight. The bed was made with new blue and bronze covers that were very similar to the ones at Hogwarts. He didn't have any posters or pictures on his wall or furniture except for a picture of Maria that was next to his night stand.

Luke brought me to his side of his room and pushed me lightly to sit on his bed with him.

"Luke?"

"I just want to cuddle with my girlfriend. I promise I won't do anything." Luke said, pulling me into his chest as we rested on his bed. "besides, it's late and we both know Lance will wake us up to be ready to pick up Maria."

"Do you like Maria?" I asked, I couldn't help it. Everyone knows that he and his friends would always flirt and try to get with them.

"She is beautiful and totally my type but no. I don't like her anymore." Luke answered truthfully.

"O."

"Don't worry about it. I'm with you aren't I."

"Can I ask another question?" I yawned.

"Sure, but make it quick, we need your sleep."

"I heard this rumor about…you and Eliza…I just want to know…is it…"

"It's true." Luke said harshly. "But I don't know why you listen to that stuff. I'm with you now. Ok?"

I shrunk down and tried to not let him see the tears that were forming. Lance pushed me lightly off of his chest and rolled over.

"Now go to sleep." He said before yawning and falling into sleep with ease. I rolled on my side facing his wall, the same one with the lady. I noticed it did look like Maria a little bit, like an older version almost.

I want to ask him to remove it but I don't want to anger him either. I closed my eyes, trying to fall asleep.

I was originally going to do Maria but I thought I was rushing into the main OCs and decided I want to do something a little bit different. I think I am going to do Maria next or maybe Lance or Luke, maybe even Lily…hmmm…not sure.

I forgot to mention that I am going to continue to do the 1 review per chapter.

So please review to get a new chapter!
