HELLO!

JAMES
I walked to the hat, and plopped onto the stool.
"Twins, eh?" the Sorting Hat said in my mind.
I nodded, sighing. "Why did she…"
"That girl is a cunning one who will do anything to get what she wants. She wanted to be in Gryffindor, she threatened to burn me if I put her in Hufflepuff,"
That's the Skye I know.
"You're a loyal fellow, and you seem quite brave, I think you'll be good in GRYFFINDOR!" the hat yelled the last word.
I hopped off the stool, and walked to the Gryffindor table smugly.
"Evans, Lily," was the next called.
A beautiful redhead excitedly plopped down onto the stool, and the hat declared her Gryffindor. Her beautiful green eyes sparkled as she searched for a place to sit. I patted the spot next to me, and she sat down.
"Hi!" she said, smiling. "I'm Lily,"
I grinned back. "I'm James," I shook her hand.
"Black, Sirius,"
"He's going into Slytherin," Lily muttered.
"Gryffindor," I said.
"Wanna bet?" she asked.
"All right, one Galleon!" we shook hands on it.
"GRUFFINDOR!" the hat declared.
I smiled gleefully as Sirius sat down on the seat next to me.
"Can I pay you later? I left my purse in my trunk," Lily asked me hopefully.
"Well, we could call off the bet, if you go out with me," I said, grinning.
She smacked me on the arm.
"Tough luck, mate," Sirius muttered.
At breakfast the next day...
Sirius groaned.
I looked over at him. "What's the matter, eh?"
"Double flying with Slytherin's our first class,"
"What's so wrong with Slytherin, Black?" a threatening tone was mingled into Sirius' last name.
Sirius spun around. Then he poked my arm.
"Hey Skye," I said, continuing to eat my bacon.
She swiped a strip from my plate. "James, we have flying as last period. I have Muggle Studies for First Period."
"We have Divination. Our classrooms are beside each other," Sirius said.
I nodded. "Let's go, guys," I popped the last spoonful of food in my mouth and stood up.
Skye and Sirius followed.
"Hello class, I am Madam Hooch. I shall be your instructor in Basic Flying. Now, everyone, put your left hand above your broom, and say 'up'."
"Up!" everyone said.
Mine flew to my hand immediately, and Skye's did as well, she was opposite me.
Sirius' was the next to succeed, then others.
When all were able to do it, Madam Hooch told us to mount our brooms.
"When I blow my whistle, I want you to kick off from the ground, hard. Hover for a moment, and land." She instructed, and blew the whistle.
I hovered, and flew around a bit.
Skye attempted to do an aerial loop-de-loop.
"Skye, those are school brooms!" I said warningly.
School brooms are quite horrid, as they are old, and rarely repaired or replaced. I remember Arthur Weasley telling me about the second year who's broom broke while he was flying it.
Her eyes widened in realization, just as her broom twitched, and Skye fell on the ground, landing on her hands, then flipping to get back on her feet.
"Ms. Potter, excellent landing, two points to Slytherin. Mr. Potter, excellent hover, two points to Gryffindor," Madam Hooch said.
"Ooh! Steak!" Sirius and Skye chorused. Skye glared at him briefly, Sirius grinned back, and both proceeded to eat the steak.
I rolled my eyes.
Skye looked to her right, to see another boy looking at her skeptically.
"Remus!" she said, grinning.
"James, Remus, Remus, my twin James," she said, nodding.
I grinned at him. "You play Quidditch?"
He grinned back. "A little," then he turned back to Skye. "As much as I favor Gryffindor over Slytherin, why are you sitting here?"
She shrugged. "We don't have steak,"
"Anyway, I'm ordering a new broom, you might want to also," she said after finishing her steak. "Lucius sat on my broom, and crashed yours into a tree,"
"The Glider?" I asked incredulously.
"Lucius Malfoy?" Sirius asked.
Skye ignored him. "What I don't understand is how the ruddy hell did he get a hold of my broom."
"My Glider?" I asked her again. Skye nodded, then handed me an order sheet.
"I'd recommend a Comet Sixteen," Sirius said.
I shook my head. "I want a Nimbus 1000,"
Lily walked over. "Any of you know Sev?"
Skye grinned. "Won't stop talking about you, Lily,"
Lily blushed. "I could say the same about Black here, whenever Potter's not around, he's all 'Oh, Skye, she's so pretty, what did she ever do to deserve Slytherin?"
Everyone started laughing at Sirius, except for Skye and Sirius himself.
Skye glared at him, proceeding to take out her wand. "Petrifucus Totalus!"
Sirius went rigid, and fell face first into his steak.
Skye smirked at him. "Never insult Slytherin again, Black. You'll regret it,"
I glared at her. "Reverse it!"
She glared at me fiercely.
We stared each other down. "Fine," she said. "Finite Incantem,"
Sirius grinned. "Feisty and pretty? I like it,"
Skye reached for her wand again, but I glared at her. "Drop it."
She scowled at me, glared at Sirius, then stalked out of the dining hall.
I then looked at Remus. "You're lucky she likes you,"
Remus shrugged. "I don't flirt with girls,"
Sirius looked happy. "You think she'll go out with me?"
"First period, DADA with the snakes," Sirius said annoyedly.
"We'll be studying about Veelas," Remus pointed out.
Sirius annoyed grimace turned into a dreamy expression. "Hope the Prof. will bring a live one,"
"What's a Veela?" I asked Remus.
He grinned. "You'll see,"
Sirius grinned. "C'mon, mates, let's get going!"
"Today class, we shall be studying Veela. Please name three traits of Veelas," Professor LeGrande said.
Remus' hand was in the air immediately.
"Yes, Mr. Lupin," she said.
"Veelas are commonly known for their pale white skin that glows in the moonlight, their temperamental attitude, and their beauty," Remus said.
"Yes, correct. Three points to Gryffindor," Professor LeGrande said. "Do you know the dangers of Veelas?"
Nobody had an answer to that.
"Alright then, we shall have a demonstration. Any volunteers?"
