"So what's with the dog?" I grimaced.

"Sirius picked her up back in Paris, wanted to keep her, I told him she would only cause problems for us but he didn't listen. Those boys rarely ever do so I wouldn't expect much from them." She nodded and looked at me from the corner of her eye.

"Why are you with them, Sadie? You didn't tell me you were going to show up with strays." I sighed.

"I know, Tal, but I thought they could help, you know, I thought it might be fun." She gave me a look. Everyone else were walking in front of us, we were a few feet behind them, talking in whispers.

"What are you really doing, Cass? I know you said that we're all going to Bulgaria for the cup, but you know that sooner or later your dad will find out that's where you're going. He's going to be pissed." I rolled my eyes and snorted.

"And when is he not? I can handle him, don't worry about it."

"You know, if you wanted to rebel against him so much, you could've always stayed with Dom." I glared at her.

"I broke up with Dom for his own good, he didn't want my baggage, and I didn't want to give it to him."

"Oh come on, you mean you got to decide what he did and didn't want? Well, like father like daughter I suppose." I grabbed her shoulder to stop her from walking.

"I am nothing like him!" I growled, she smirked at me.

"Oh Sweetie, you two are much more alike than you care to admit." I rolled my eyes.

"Oh please, whatever you have to tell yourself, hey! You lot! Wait up!" She grabbed me and pulled me to the others. "There's a party tonight we had plans to go to, are all of you in?" James and Sirius looked excited.

"Of course we are! Wait, what kind of party?"

"And here I thought I was done being forced into these dresses." Lily said, frowning.

"Oh shut up, you look great," Talia's voice called from the bathroom. Just then, Sirius walked into our room.

"Well don't you girls look fit? Hey, I have a question!" I sighed.

"No, Sirius, the dog is not coming with us." He pouted.

"Why not? She said it was outside!"

"Because someone is going to look after her the entire time we're there, and are you going to do it?" He said nothing. "I thought so."

"Well fine then, I guess Isobel will just have to stay here, all alone, with no one for company."

"That is what 'all alone' usually means, Sirius."

"Who made you in charge of this trip anyway?"

"Well who else was going to be in charge, Black, you?"

"Maybe!"

"Oh don't make me laugh!" Talia came out of the bathroom and walked over to where Lily was sitting.

"What's the deal with those two?"

"They shagged the other night." Talia scoffed.

"I could've told you that, do they always argue like this?" Lily nodded.

"As far as I know- oh!" An owl flew into our window at that moment.

"Oh, come on," I said, "We don't always argue!"

"Yes we do!"

"No we don't!" I snapped at him.

*Lily's p.o.v.*

Talia got up and went back into the bathroom to finish up while Cassie and Sirius continued their argument. The owl that flew in gave me the paper and I gave it a knut before it flew away again. I looked down at the front page and as I read my eyes widened. No way.

We all got to party and a very loud band was paying, I between that and everyone else there, I could barely hear my friends. At the thought of my friends I stole another glance towards Cassie. Cassandra, I thought, Cassandra Chandler, how did I not see it before. She looked at me and rose an eyebrow.

"You all right, Lily?" I put on a forced smile and nodded. I wonder if the boys know.

"Yeah, absolutely fine!" I said, cheerfully. The eight of us traveled over to what looked like a bar and sat down at a round table near it.

"How did you hear about this, Tal?"

"I met a few witches that go to Beauxbatons the other night, they told me about, completely safe from muggles!" Cassie's eyes widened.

"What?! Tal! You didn't tell me this was a party for our kind!" She shrugged.

"Relax, Sadie, there's nothing to worry about." She said, reassuringly, but Cassie still looked nervous.

"So, why do they call you Sadie?" Cassie looked at me again, awkwardly, and shrugged.

"No reason."

"Her ex, Dom, started it, we all just kind of got used to it."

"Well then, maybe you should get un-used to it, call me Cass like everyone else in the world." Talia snorted.

"Everyone other than your mother that is." She rolled her eyes but smiled at that.

"Why of course not!" She exclaimed in a posh voice, "My name is Cassandra! There is no business for silly nicknames for a respectable young woman like myself!" They started laughing. For the first time that night I tuned into what the boys were saying and was immediately bored. Quidditch. As usual. I sighed and rested my chin on top of my hand. "Oh cheer up, "Lils! It's a party!" I smiled but she was convinced. "Alright, maybe some drinks will cheer you up, I'll be right back." But as soon as she got up, she bumped into someone and ruined yet another of her dresses. I laughed as I had the sense of déjà vu. "Oh! Shit, sorry! That seems to happen a lot to me!" Cassie laughed and waved it off. The girl that had bumped into her wasn't paying attention to what she was saying, she just stared, wide-eyed and pointing, at her.

"You- you're Cassandra Chandler!" She froze.

"What?" People around us stopped and stared, whispers started happening all around us. Suddenly, we could hear shouting.

"Miss Chandler! Over here!"

"Miss Chandler!"

"The American Minister's daughter? Here?" All around us, we could hear shouting and see flashing lights. Everything happened quickly, I felt something grab me and looked to see Remus. I could see the other boys surround Cassie, trying to get through the crowd. As soon as we all got free, we Apparated back to our hotel rooms. All of us breathless and shocked.

"What… the bloody hell was that!?" James exclaimed towards Cass. "What did they mean? American Minister's daughter." She sighed.

"Well, that's who I am. Cassandra Chandler. Only child of the Minister of Magic in the U.S." James pulled at his hair and started pacing the room.

"Holy shit holy shit holy shit! Why didn't you tell us?!" She stood up.

"Would you have agreed to come with me if I did?" She asked, angrily.

"Of course we wouldn't! Merlin! We kidnapped the Minister's daughter!"

"You did not kidnap me!" She huffed, "I was perfectly willing to go!"

"My parents are going to kill me!"

"How do you think I feel?" She muttered. James turned to Sirius.

"And you knew! You must have! 'Oh, don't worry, Prongs, she's just an old family friend, looking for a good time, no problem!' You lied to me, Pads!" Sirius looked down and didn't say anything else. James turned to the rest of us. "Well?"

"Well what?" His eyes narrowed.

"Who else knew? Who else knew that we're as good as dead when her dad finds us?" Cassie snorted.

"Well now you're just being overdramatic." James ignored her and I sighed.

"I knew." Her head snapped up. "But only for a few hours! It's on the front page of the Prophet, I'm sure every witch and wizard in the Great Britain knows by now." Cassie groaned and fell back on the bed.

"I knew she was lying to us about something," Remus said, "I didn't know what though, I'm such an idiot, I should have recognized her name!"

"I knew nothing." Peter said, raising his hands. Sirius snorted.

"Well that's nothing new," he muttered. I heard him and Cassie laugh quietly.

"I can't believe you didn't tell them, Cass." Talia said, shaking her head.

"I didn't want to be treated any differently!"

"You should have known this would bite you in the ass!" Cassie sat further back on the bed and sulked.

"I don't get it, she doesn't really look like her though, at least not from the pictures I've seen, and you definitely don't dress like a pureblood." Peter commented, Sirius rolled his eyes.

"And I do? Come on Wormy, if she didn't want anyone to know who she was, of course she changed how she looked!"

"Apparently I didn't do a good enough job though!" Talia shook her head.

"Not really, I could tell it was you right when I saw you, even with the hair." She made a frustrated sound.

"Ugh! Fine! It was probably the eyes, I looked exactly like my mother before and now I just look like my mother with red hair! Absolutely pointless! I'm such an idiot." She got up and started to leave.

"Where are you going?" I asked her.

"To fix it!" She angrily left the room, leaving us all staring widely after her. She finally came back a couple hours later, wearing a hat and sunglasses. She removed them and out fell thick, very blond hair. She shook it out and sighed. "So, get some rest everyone, we're leaving as soon as possible tomorrow morning!"
