Remus will be in it more don't worry :)
The train journey went by quickly; the Hogwarts Express making its way up the country and through the Scottish boarder. The scenery went from fields full of sheep and cows to rolling hills which ended up in dark forests and tall mountains. The once calm countryside soon turned into a raging blur of colour. The day soon turned darker and rain clouds came and covered up the once blue sky. Big splats of rain hit the windows of the train as it chugged along; getting faster and faster and the rain getting heavier and heavier.
The night soon came as they came closer to Hogsmeade Station. Soon the train started slowing down and the students that hadn't already started to put on their robes. The train stopped in the station about twenty minutes later and the doors of the train opened, sending the students out into the pouring rain. Many placed their robes over their heads to stop their hair getting wet and the older students rushed off the platform towards the carriages waiting to take them up to the castle. Many people felt sorry for the first years that had to go by boat across the lake.
The carriages soon started off towards the castle with students chattering in them excitedly. The rain beat on top of them like a never ending drum beat. The wheels of the carriages trundled up the road and through many puddles, making the water splash aside.
Up at the castle entrance the huge front doors were open; the light from the Entrance Hall flooding out into the darkness, making it somewhat less threatening. Each carriage dropped the students off in front of the steps and they hurried inside to try and get out of the rain as quickly as possible. The Entrance Hall soon became wet and several people were in danger of slipping on the floor. Lizzie and Lily held onto each other to minimize the chances of ending up flat on their backs. They waited just outside the Great Hall as they had seemed to have lost Beth and Zoe in the crowd. Whilst they were waiting, Lizzie saw Severus enter the Entrance Hall with Remus and the others a little way behind him. She knew instantly that this was not going to end very well.
Sirius was talking animatedly to James when he spotted Snape up ahead of him. A doggish grin appeared on his faces and he motioned to James who was in front of him. The same kind of grin appeared on James' face and they began quickly plotting what they could do. As there were so many people still in the Entrance Hall, their options were limited, so they decided to go with a simple option that would hopefully humiliate him.
Taking his wand out of the inside pocket of his robes, Sirius created a massive puddle on the floor just in front of Snape. He didn't see it and slipped over banging his head on the floor. Several people laughed and many others tried to miss the water and ending up slipping over themselves. Having felt he hadn't caused enough chaos, Sirius made it rain inside. Some of the girls started to scream and ran towards the safety of the Great Hall. James and Sirius laughed at Snape.
''Hey Snivillus, what you doing down there?''
''I don't think there is enough water to wash your hair in here.''
These comments earned death glares from both Lizzie and Lily, who both had their arms folded. What had Severus done to deserve being treated like that? He was a human being too; something both Black and Potter seemed to not understand. Beth and Zoe both turned up by their sides and the four girls entered the Great hall. Severus, who had picked himself up, stormed pass them and went to the Slytherin table. Behind the girls were Remus, James, Sirius and Peter.
''You shouldn't have done that you know.'' Remus muttered to his two best friends who seemed to think the whole thing had been highly amusing. However, Remus knew that two out of the four girls in front of him did not find it amusing at all and was sure if Sirius kept acting up like he had last year that his sister would soon burst and argue with him again. They did argue quite a lot; once a week being the minimum. He just wished they would get along, it would save him the trouble of always having to shut them both up. Alas, Remus knew that would not happen in a long time and so he just sighed and took his place at the Gryffindor table.

The welcome feast passed quickly. The sorting had finished with a lot of dripping first years, the feast had be marvellous as usual and Dumbledore had ended it with his usual start of term talk. Everyone was now heading up to their common rooms and to bed as many were extremely tired.
Lizzie and Lily headed up to the Gryffindor common room still talking animatedly as they had done on the train. It seemed they had lots to catch up on. They entered through the portrait hole into the warm interior of the common room and were about to go up to the girls dormitory when both Sirius and James popped out of nowhere and blocked their way.
Lizzie just rolled her eyes, but didn't say anything. It was Lily who talked first.
''What do you two want?'' She asked in an exasperated tone. She knew what the question would be and she knew what the answer her and her best friend would give the two boys. She wished they would just give up on trying to ask them out. They were obviously never going to say yes.
''Well Lily Flower.'' James said; his hazel eyes lost in her bright green ones. (Lily rolled her eyes at the mention of the nickname he had given her) ''I was just wondering...'' Sirius elbowed him in the side. ''I mean we were just wondering if you two lovely ladies would like to go ou...''
''No way.'' Lily said, cutting off James.
''Never in a million years.'' Lizzie added. ''What is the point in asking again and again when you know you will get the same answer?''
''Lizzie Bee, we ask because we know you'll change your mind someday.'' Sirius said giving her a winning smile.
Lizzie scoffed at him. ''Listen to me Black. I will never and I repeat never go out with you. Not even if you were the last person on Earth. And James, Lily will never go out with you until you grow up and stop being such a big-headed idiot. Now if you'll excuse us we're going to bed.'' She said grabbing Lily's arm and pushing past the two boys. She wished they would just stop asking them, it was starting to really annoy her. They both got up to the dormitory which they shared with Beth, Zoe, Mary Mason and Sophia Newson. Neither girl spoke much as they got dressed and into bed. They all bid each other good-night and closed their hangings around their beds.
Lizzie starred up at the dark ceiling and let memories and thoughts play over in her mind. The one that reoccurred the most was one of an argument she had had with Sirius at the end of their first year. That had been the source of her hating him all this time. He still hadn't seemed to get the message that what he had said hurt her, but she wasn't going to bring up the subject any time soon. She rolled over onto her side and closed her eyes, hoping she would get some sleep and with that sleep, Sirius free dreams.

Sirius watched the two girls walk up the stairs to their dormitory before turning to James. ''Oh well.'' He said. ''It was a good try.'' Both boys headed up to their own dormitory where Remus and Peter were already. Remus seemed to be reading on his bed and Peter was searching his trunk for a quill of tomorrow.
Sirius put on his PJ's and sat on his bed. He would show Lizzie how much she meant to him...somehow. He glanced over to Remus who was still reading. If only Lizzie was as easy going as her brother was. If only she saw something in him like he did her. He wished she would give him a chance, and then maybe, just maybe he would be able to show her that he actually loved her.
Sirius lay down on his bed, not bothering to close his hangings. He murmured a good night to his friends before drifting off to sleep.
A/N: Just want to say I'm sorry that I'm being mean to Sev. I don't want to be, but sometimes James and Sirius are just plain not nice. :)
