Falling isn't as easy as I thought

Anabella naomi taylor. Her parents (meaning her mother) didn't love her, well her dad wasn't really bad. Anyway, Anabella was currently in her fourth year at hogwarts. Before you ask, no she wasn't popular, and no she wasn't well known, or noticed at all for that matter, though well liked by the professors. She always sat at the back of the class taking notes, well organized notes.

4. Dinner

Annabella's POV

I drop my guitar off at my dorm and jacqueline greets me. "Where the hell were you. You should have been back a few minutes ago." "Someone held me up by requesting a last minute song. I got some good tips." I tell her and hold up a handful of knuts. "Good. At this rate we'll get to the U.S. by the end of this year." she says taking the knuts from me and setting them in the save jar. "Alright, let's get to dinner. I want to get it over with as fast as possible so I can get the anigmus project started." I tell her. She nods. "I was put with Lucius Malfoy so at least you have a good partner." she tells me. "That's unfortunate." I say and she nods her head in agreement. We walk down to the great hall and sit at the end of the table. Four people sit on the opposite side of us. "Why are you sitting down here?" I question them. "Sitting with our newest friend. Is that a bad thing." james replies. "Shouldn't you be pestering lilly to go on a date with you?" Jacqueline asks him. "Nah, we've got to induct two new members into our group." he replies. "Well where are they?" she asks. They look at her with a: really look on their faces. "You two are gonna be our friends now and you can't say no." "No we're good." she says to them and turns to face the teachers table. "Too late you've seen the marauders map and we only let friends see it. We already made you two nicknames. Fluffy and Claws." sirius says proudly. "No I'm fang." I correct him without realizing. "Oh, really?" he questions. Jacqueline slaps my arm and shakes her head. "So what is that one? Cattitude?" sirius asks gesturing to jackie. "No she's silver." Jacqueline slaps my arm again and says my name in a scolding manner. "Oh so we'll put your names in the marauders map as fang and silver." james says simply. "Yo potter, Why aren't you pestering lily?" Marlene Mckinnon asks from further up the table. "Because I'm greeting the newest marauders." he tells her. "Who would be stupid enough to join your group potter?" lily questions looking over at the four of them. "Who doesn't is the question to ask evans." sirius teases. She rolls her eyes and finally notices jackie and I sitting in front of the four boys. Jacqueline mouths for help and I smile sheepishly. "What are they blackmailing you or something?" lily questions. I shake my head. "Actually this one just enjoys our company." sirius says tossing an arm around me from across the table. "And this one is just to fiesty to know she cares about us." he says trying to reach for her. She pulls away and grimaces at him.
