A/N: And right after putting out the first chapter… I'm putting out the second one. Here we go! :D

Chapter 2

The rest of the train ride to Hogwarts was unusually silent besides the constant banter between Lily and James. When we got into a carriage, Lily and I, I turned towards her as she stared out the window.

"Was it just me, or was Sirius acting very strangely today?" I mused. A smiled started to spread on Lily's lips.

"He was acting strangely wasn't he?" she said as if she knew something.

"I wonder why…" I said glancing at her, hoping she would get the hint and tell me what was going through her mind.

"Must be because of that girl he was seeing," mused Lily. I laughed.

"Sirius is always seeing some girl. How is this one any different?" Lily just looked at me.

"What?" I asked confused. She just shook her head and looked back out the window. I admit, I was thoroughly confused. By the time we got out of the carriage, Sirius seemed to be himself. He threw his arms around Lily's and my shoulders and called back to James, "You're just jealous that I have two beautiful girls on both sides of me." And then he stuck his tongue out at him. He was obviously referring to some conversation that James and him were having. Still, Lily and I exchanged confused looks and laughed at James' scowl on his face. Before he could think up a response, Sirius steered us away from him and towards the castle. People whispered and stared. Others tried to say hi, which Lily always responded to. Sirius, being the little flirt that he was, would wink in response and the girls would "swoon". I rolled my eyes.

I was used to this kind of staring (glaring) and the attention (trying to claw my eyes out) ever since I became friends with the Marauders. I wasn't first friends with Lily Evans, which everyone just assumed I was. My very first friend at Hogwarts was none other than Sirius Black. I can still recall the meeting.

My first year of Hogwarts is going to be the best, I can feel it, I thought wistfully to myself. Everyone stared at my muggle dyed bright red hair (It was before I was able to dye my hair with magic) which contrasted brilliantly with my big violet eyes. A boy with messy black hair and spectacles was harassing a natural red head, whom I learned later was Lily Evans. Next to him was a boy with equally messy black hair but a bit longer who was staring at me with curious silver grey eyes. I stared back at him, defiantly (I was sort of in my rebellious stage…) and I saw him smirk before I turned away. Suddenly, I felt an arm around my shoulders. I looked over to the boy who had suddenly appeared at my side.

"Ya know, I have a think for red heads," said the boy with deep grey eyes.

"Brilliant. Lucky for me, I'm not a natural red head," I said slipping out from underneath his arm, a smirk playing on my eleven year old lips.

"Then what's your natural hair color?" he asked momentarily stumped (Sirius has always been a flirt but at a young age he wasn't exactly "mastered" quite yet…).

"Blonde. Pale blonde," I replied over my shoulder. He caught up to me.

"One of my favorite colors on a girl is blonde." I stopped walking and tried to stifle a giggle.

"Your favorite color is BLONDE?" I asked. The boy smiled at me.

"Oh yes. Blonde and Lime Yellow." I just looked at him.

"There is no such color as Lime Yellow," I said matter of factly.

"'Course there is."

"No, only Lime Green."

"Goes to show how much YOU know then."

"I know a LOT thank you very much."

"Oh, obviously, considering you knew Lime Yellow was a color and everything."

"ARE YOU BEING SARCASTIC?"

"Of course I'm being sarcastic, what else would I be?"

"Oh, I don't know, stuck up maybe?"

"Oh…then… Hello! I'm stuck up and Sarcastic. What's your name?"

"…I'm LIME-YELLOW-IS-NOT-A-BLOODY-COLOR-AND-WOULD-YOU-QUIT-BEING-SO-DAFT!" The boy smirked.

"Nice name." There was silence.

"So, you were saying that Lime Yellow is a color?" the boy broke the silence. I glared at him.

"Stuck-up and Sarcastic, I'm gonna kill you."

And that's how we became best friends. Well, sort of. James was his BEST friend and Lily was my BEST friend. But, we were each other's opposite sex BEST friends.
