That'll be explained later. All of these names are authentic Spanish, Scottish, Italian, Irish, and Greek names (Thekla is the only pure Greek though). There are some names in here that I added but I'm not saying their mine because they don't play huge roles and I'm too lazy to go through the whole story again and type more names to this already long list (like Professor Markis, Nikita, etc…)

Pippa Lupin © my friend, Ashley :)

All other characters are © Jo Rowling (if you've seen the names in the original HP series)

Now…Enjoy. Please review!

Aurora sighed heavily as she sat down at her desk that she shared with Lily for History of Magic. She could feel almost everyone staring at her but she didn't want to look around to confirm that fear. She just stared down at her open book. She felt terrible since the dance. Sirius hadn't looked at her for over a week and Mulciber was getting on her nerves. Any chance he got he was all over her. He'd even forced her to snog with him. An uncontrollable shiver traveled down her spine and she shook slightly, her eyes shutting tightly.

She jumped when she felt a delicate hand on her shoulder. She looked up in Lily's eyes and forced herself to smile softly, shaking her head to reassure her friend. Lily sat and pulled her book out of her book bag, along with her quill and a small bottle of ink, placing the ink bottle above her book and the quill perfectly aligned with the book. Aurora almost laughed. One thing about Lily that most people wouldn't expect was that she was a perfectionist and a bit OCD. Lily felt Aurora gazing at her and she looked up with an almost innocent look on her face.

"What? Do I have something on me?" Lily began to look at her shoulders and over them at her back.

"No, no…I just was thinking about how odd it was that you're a perfectionist…"Aurora answered softly. Lily gave her a wicked grin but quickly changed the subject.

"You know…Daniel WisperWood asked me to go with him to Hogsmeade…Do you think I should go with him?"

Daniel WisperWood was probably Andromeda Black's equal in sexuality. When Andromeda had attended Hogwarts only six years prior, she was the girl that every guy wanted (except her cousin, Sirius) and every girl hated or wanted to emulate (except for her younger sister Narcissa). Andromeda had been Lily, Pippa, and Aurora's friend when she was there. She had taken Aurora under her wing, having been in Ravenclaw and being a 7th year there. She didn't think that her protégé would be so cool to be around. The two formed a close bond and Andromeda became friends with Lily. The three were inseparable until Andromeda graduated in June of 1972, the end of Lily and Aurora's first year there.

She had light brown hair and soft green eyes that were wider and kinder than her older sister, Bellatrix's, and her younger sister, Narcissa's. She was slender and tall with "killer curves" and a "sexy walk" as the guys described her. She had kept in touch with Aurora and Lily for the last six years. She was married, had a 5 year old daughter, and was pregnant again this year. She had asked Lily to be the child's godmother and Lily had accepted with honor; Aurora was already Nymphadora's godmother.

Now Daniel was the typical handsome Slytherin Quidditch Keeper, with a thick, dark mane of hair, light, gorgeous eyes and tan skin with a body to die for. And he was also the cockiest bastard anyone would ever meet. He flaunted his sexuality by showing his arms off and giving every girl that passed that devilish grin of his. Every girl at school had a crush on him at one time or another and he dated almost all of them at one time or another.

"What an honor…"Aurora said, trying not to laugh. When Daniel asked a girl out, he expected her to say yes, and when she did, he'd date her for weeks until he got what he really wanted all along…to get under that girl's skirt. Lily shot her a glare.

"He's good looking."

"He's a user."

Lily didn't respond.

"Fine. Do as you wish," Aurora looked away and grimaced when she noticed that there were two guys standing on her side of the table. She looked up and saw Daniel WisperWood and Ewald Mulciber. She paled. "Ewald…What're you doing here?"

"Well, my dear, I have made plans with Daniel here. We are going with him and Lily to Madam Puddifoot's."

It was Lily's turn to pale, but, unlike her friend, Lily soon became quite pink from irritation.

"What?" Aurora finally broke the uncomfortable silence. "Lily hasn't given Daniel an answer yet…"

"Well, we have decided for her," Daniel replied smugly. That was clearly the wrong thing to say and Aurora closed her eyes. Lily wasn't good at taking orders; in fact, she was absolutely horrible at taking them unless it was from a teacher. Lily stood, slamming her book bag on the table, making the ink bottles jump and tip over, ink spilling everywhere. The noise was resounding, grabbing everyone's attention. Aurora jumped; she could feel all eyes on them. Aurora pulled her wand out and cleaned the mess up before it could do any damage.

"How dare you? Do you honestly think that making a decision for me was going to get me to say yes to you? You are obviously off your rocker! Since when do you own me? Since when have I been your woman!? You delusional, chauvinistic pig! You better watch your back, WisperWood…especially in a hallway without your friends," she threatened harshly, gripping her wand so hard that her freckled knuckles where white as she pointed it at Daniel's chest. Daniel was flushed, his light eyes darting around the room. He finally looked at Lily again and glared before leaving the room, Ewald following angrily. Applause erupted behind them, every girl in the room smiling and nodding at Lily, who blushed and sat back down.

"Cheers…" Aurora replied. She caught the small grin on Lily's face and grinned herself.
