We arrived at Hogwarts some time later and I smiled at the anxious first years staring at the huge majestic castle. I was wondering why Sirius was suddenly so interested in talking to me, he had never even said a single thing to me before today, and I didn't even know he knew my name. I was just a quiet, outspoken Gryffindor who didn't fit in. With wavy chestnut coloured hair and multi-coloured eyes, pale skin and being a Metamorphmagus, I wasn't exactly the most normal of girls. I was also definitely not Sirius Blacks type. So why all the sudden interest?

'I know what your thinking' I glanced up, and saw Lily nudging me, I frowned, I was so easy to read.

'Your thinking about why Sirius is so interested in you now, when he's never even talked to you before?' I paused, and then slowly nodded my head, whilst she rolled her eyes.

'Are you blind? Your not the scrawny 12 year old you were 4 years ago!' I frowned, was she right? I had changed, now I was fuller, taller and well, more pretty. I no longer had chubby cheeks and a flat chest, I no longer followed the crowd, never having the same style as anyone else, but surely that didn't make a difference? So what if I had changed, I was still the geeky stubborn girl I had been right back in first year. Looks couldn't change someone. Sirius was just interested in me because I had gotten prettier, and I was one of the only girls who plain blank refused to go out with him, which is pretty unique. Lily grinned and I returned her smile, we linked arms and walked into the Great Hall, I was convinced that Sirius Black was the same stupid, immature jerk he was back in first year, yet my eyes stayed grey.

(Sirius' Point Of View)

I watched as Rusty and Evans walk into the Great Hall, with linked arms. I sighed; most girls would fall head over heels to get a chance to go out with the Sirius Black, but not her. Why?

'Face it Padfoot, we've finally found a girl who, to put it nicely, hates you' He grinned, but I just scowled. I needed to find out why this girl hated me. It wasn't like id ever done anything to her, okay, so I might of asked her out about 20 times, but that's not a crime.

'Prongs shut up.' He grinned even more, but I was not in the mood to smile. When we had sat down at the Gryffindor table, I glanced over at Rusty and saw her eyes were grey. Grey? Note to self, I thought, ask Rusty what colours mean what mood.

(Avalon's Point Of View)

The Sorting Ceremony was, as usual, pain stakingly long. I chuckled at the nervous first years, many of which seemed to think one of their family members was going to jump out and yell something about being pranked, I knew from experience. My first year was eventful. My Sorting had been incredibly long, as the Sorting Hat had absolutely no idea where to place me, but I had never admitted this to anyone. The Sorting Hat had wanted to place me in Ravenclaw, but I was simply too odd to be a Ravenclaw. My brain thought I should be a Slytherin, cunning, determined and quirky, however the Sorting Hat seen something I never thought I had: Bravery. Lots of it, apparently. So I had been sorted into Gryffindor, where I met Lily and Izzie, and unfortunately been placed in the same house as the Marauders. The four biggest troublemakers in Hogwarts history, and future. James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew. They were famous around Hogwarts, James Potter stalked my best friend Lily, Sirius Black, well most girls knew who he was, if you get what I mean. Remus Lupin was the smart one of the group, but was as equally attractive, Peter Pettigrew however, was not as attractive as the other Marauders, but was often coming up with their most famous plans from random.

This year, I thought, was going to be my best year. Ignore The Marauders and ill be fine. Stop thinking about Sirius Black and try to get the best grades possible. Especially in Potions. Potions was my worst class, and although Lily also took Potions, we rarely ever got the time to revise as she was partnered with Snape, and they would always revise together. I never bothered asking anyone else; there was just no point.

I sighed and got up from the common room sofa, picking up Blackie as I went. When I stepped onto the girl's dormitory stairs, I happened to be the victim of the Marauders first prank. Purple goo exploded, splattering me head to toe. I froze. The Marauders better prepare to be killed. I turned slowly on my heel; eyes clenched shut, when someone threw a bucket of feathers at me. I screamed and heard Lily come running down the stairs.

'POTTER! BLACK! WHAT IN MERLINS NAME HAVE YOU DONE?' Lily screamed at someone, who I was guessing were hiding behind the sofa, as I could hear suppressed laughing from that direction. I wiped my eyes and growled, my fists unconsciously clenched at my side. Lily appeared at my side, her face matching her fiery red hair.

'I'm sorry! We didn't think it would be you who walked up the stairs, we thought you were in your dorm!' James was protesting rather loudly, obviously upset about his dear Lily Flower being angry with him.

'Mark my words, Potter, Black, I will get you back for that' and with that, I turned to try and walk out of the room with dignity, instead of slipping over all the purple slime. Lily and I left in silence, both brainstorming for ideas of how to get revenge on the two best pranksters in Hogwarts.
