"So tell me again, Lily, love, what is so fabulous about Hogwarts?" the ebony haired girl asked her friend.
"You'll see," the redhead told her friend as they headed for platform nine and three quarters. "I think you'll find that there are a few more… studs… than you found in Beauxbatons."
The girl rolled her eyes. "Please. Beauxbatons is and all girls school!"
"Exactly," was the reply as Lily pushed her through what had appeared to be a solid wall.
"Ack!" she exclaimed, falling sideways through the barrier, landing at the feet of some guy.
Strong hands helped her up. "Remus Lupin," the sixteen year old wizard declared with a grin.
"Ebony Jzelle…" Ebony trailed off, gaping. He was gorgeous. The end.
"Hey Remus," Lily said, walking through the barrier. "Have you misplaced your—"
"OI! REMIE!"
"Friends?" Lily cringed.
Three dashing blokes came rushing up to nearly tackle Remus. Oh my god. I think I could die. They all straightened to look at the girls, grinning.
"Let's see," Remus said. "This is Peter Pettigrew." The blonde boy bowed. Cute. Most definitely. "James Potter." Hazel eyes and windswept hair. May I have your love children? "And Sirius Black." Mr. 'I'm sexy and you know it'? You, my dear, belong in handcuffs. Chained to my bed… "Guys, this is Ebony Jzelle."
"You look tall to be a first year," commented 'I'm sexy and you know it'. Wow. Looks AND brains.
Ebony rolled her eyes. "Dumbass, I'm transferring from Beauxbatons."
"You don't sound French." Have I seen you on a poster somewhere?
The train whistle blew. Lily and Ebony scampered to find a compartment. "Goodness, Lils," Ebony said. "You could have TOLD me I was walking into an epitome of stud muffins!" A guy ran past our compartment. "Why did no one ever tell me Britain had such dishy blokes running around everywhere?"
Lily grinned. "Those were the Marauders. They live to make my life hell."
Ebony's amethyst eyes widened. "So they spend a lot of time around you?"
"I'm almost never alone."
"Excuse me while I pray to every god anyone has ever thought of, thanking them for my sudden transfer to the Land of Studs." Ebony went down on her knees. "WAIT!"
"What?"
"Do we share sleeping quarters?"
"… no."
"Damn."
.xXx.
"New girl on the premises?" commented Sirius as the Marauders lounged in their usual compartment.
"Seems so," James replied, only half-paying attention. "Maybe it'll keep other guys off of Lily for a while."
The other Marauders traded a look. No one dared touch Lily, as it was a known fact that James would beat the erring bloke to a bloody pulp that even the maggots wouldn't recognize as human.
Sirius was quiet for a moment. His mind was caught with that tall, slim figure with the boyishly short black hair and wide purple eyes. "She's cute," he commented nonchalantly.
"WHAT?" James exploded, ready to throttle his best mate.
Sirius held his hands up in defense. "The new girl, you prat!"
"Oh." James settled back down to thinking about Lily. The Marauders exchanged another look, this time a head shake, over their friend's obsession.
.xXx.
Two months later, Ebony was beginning to adjust to the attention of the Marauders, or the 'Stud Club' as she referred to them. Their statuses soon became obvious to her.
Remus, aka Gorgeous: Handsome in a natural, wholesome way. Quieter than the rest, slightly shy. Also mysterious and is hiding something. Must find this out.
Peter, aka Very Cute: Not so fabulous. Cute enough, but jumpy and kind of annoying at times. Mostly a follower. Absent at strange moments. Must investigate.
James, aka Father of Our Love Children: Off limits. Lily's obsessed with him, but won't admit it. Also Lily's protector, shield, and tormentor. Must get those two together.
Sirius, aka I'm Sexy and You Know It: FLIRT! Easy on the eyes and ears, fun to flirt with. Prankster and troublemaker. Definitely most attractive. Must handcuff to bed.
"Sirius!"
"Yes darling dear!" Ebony rolled her eyes. That boy was always calling her by pet names.
"I have an idea for a prank!" Sirius ran to her side.
"And!"
.xXx.
Sirius gazed at the new girl. She was confident, and she had reason to be. Her personality screamed confidence and fun. He had her pretty much sorted out.
Ebony, aka I'm Sexy and You Know It: Flirt. Easy on the eyes and ears. Fun to flirt with. Prankster, certainly. Troublemaker, too. And so attractive. Note to self, must handcuff to bed.
.xXx.
James didn't bother disguising the stare he was giving Lily. She was beautiful, and she knew it. She had to, the way she seemed to taunt him with her looks and her mind.
Lily, aka, I'm Sexy and You Know It: Tease. Easy on the eyes and ears. Dangerous with a wand. Prefect. Perfect. And so attractive. Must handcuff to bed. MUST NEVER LET HER KNOW, OR SHE'LL KILL ME!
.xXx.
Lily watched James through half-lidded eyes. If anyone knew a tenth of the attraction she felt for him, she'd be ruined. He was just so gorgeous. He radiated sexiness and cool. But she had him sorted out by now.
James, aka I'm Sexy and You Know It: Flirt. Easy on the eyes and ears. Should NOT flirt with. Dangerous—mortal enemy… kind of. But so attractive. Must handcuff to bed. MUST NOT LET ANYONE KNOW SECRET AMBITION!
A/N: soooooooooo? Yeah, I know, kinda pathetic that I'm writing ANOTHER fic. I promise there'll be lots of LJ in the next chapter, I just wanted y'all to get used to Ebony first.
