Disclaimer: As I have stated in the last chapter, I do not own Harry Potter, or Avatar the Last Airbender (there is reference to it) and I only own my OCs and any other character that pops up that doesn't belong in any of the aforementioned universes.

My OCs in this story are elementals, and all elementals have a psychic link with each other.

These are thoughts

These are flashbacks

This is writing as in their writing, not my writing. You get the point, also, change of PoV and time.

Also, thanks to DaughterofZeusRules, for reviewing my story, and pointing out all the faults in it…which were many.

Also the book title in the last chapter that was mentioned was 'And Another Thing…' by Eoin Colfer, carrying on from Douglas Adams. Nobody got that. Well done! :)

Ilaria's PoV

Fortunately, Jake and I found an empty compartment on the train. Yay! Unfortunately, the marauders couldn't find an empty one (supposedly, it could be a conspiracy…yeah) so we had to share. Boo! Now I'm just hoping that if I 'read' my book, they will ignore me, as most people do as I give the impression that I am antisocial, or can't be bothered to listen to them. Such was not the case. Joy. That was sarcasm by the way. I peered over my book at Jacob, to see him glaring at Sirius, but as enjoyable as that was for me, they were friends, so giving him a swift kick to the shin, I returned to my book. I was actually reading this time. He turned his glare on me. I shrugged. At this point in time, the whole compartment was silent. I don't like silences, they make me feel awkward, and then I end up doing something embarrassing. Like farting. Luckily the silence was broken, and not by an outlet of wind. Rather, Sirius' voice, asking an insulting question, but at least the compartment wasn't awkward anymore, just tense.

"Why do you hang out with her Jake?" See what I mean by insulting?

"Because she's my friend." Was the cold reply. I grinned behind my book. Friends are good. I like friends.

"Why? I mean, she's a Slytherin." I snorted, drawing their attention to me. Oops. Oh well, might as well.

"What gave it away? Was it the green and silver tie, or the Slytherin emblem on my robes?" I asked sarcastically. "And, as to why he's my friend, it's because he wants to be." This, I noticed, started to get him frustrated. I smirked.

"We all know that's bull. So why are you really friends with him?" Now directing his questions to me, darn. I put my book down and stared owlishly at him.

"Language!" I admonished mockingly. I was starting to have fun. What? You would too. "But the reason that you thing that's poppy, is because you are annoyed that he actually talks to me. And since I am a Slytherin, why are you talking to me? I asked.

"…" Haha! He has no answer to that one, does he? Noooo. Unfortunately, I had voiced these thoughts out loud, and Jake, my 'friend' was laughing at me. I pouted.

"Ah shit!" I exclaimed. "Didn't mean to say that."

"Language!" He threw back at me. Should have seen that one coming. "But, I am speaking to you because I am protecting a fellow Gryffindor, from the likes of you." He smirked. Okay, that was a good answer. I have no reply. 'Darn'. I thought to Jake. I then turned my self towards the said person…who was still laughing on the floor. I stared at him incredulously. Turns out the marauders were too. We do have something in common! Let me describe to you their expressions, Remus, being the kind person he is had the whole, 'are you okay?' look. Sirius was just staring at him incredulously, like I was, James was looking at Jake like he was an idiot. Won't disagree with that one, and Peter was just eating. There's something off about that one. Anyways, when Jake finally realised that everyone was staring at him, did he finally stop laughing.

"What?" He asked stupidly. I stared at him, Sirius stared at him, Remus stared at him, James stared him and Peter stared at his food. No change there then.

"What?" He repeated. He really did look hopeless, so hopeless in fact, that I had to open my big mouth and say…"Awwww, you look so cute! Like a little lost puppy." I smiled as I said this. He in reply to this, glared at me, and growled. (A/N. This actually happened to me once. My friend said something, and so I growled at her. It didn't have the desired effect.)

"Did you just growl?" I queried. He actually growled at me. He growled at me again. I took this as my cue to leg it. You know, this kind of reminds me of the situation where the gingerbread man is running and cries 'Run, run as fast as you can, you can't catch me, I'm the Gingerbread Man!' I got a few stares at this. There I go again.

As I ran, I looked in various compartments, I was searching for a particular red head, and the reason I was looking for this red head, was because I hoped she could save me. Finally finding her, I gave a woop of joy, and dashed into the compartment. I stared at her, and she stared at me. Catching my breath I managed to say-

"Hi Lily!" I said brightly.

"Hi" she wearily said back. "What did you do?" Well she doesn't beat around the bush.

What makes you think I did anything?" I asked as innocently as I could.

"Hmmm, well apart from the fact that you ran in here like hell was at your heels, I'd say nothing at all." She replied drily. Wow. She's good.

"Eh he. That obvious, huh?" I asked.

"Yep!" She said, popping the 'p'.

"Darn" I muttered under my breath. And here I thought I was being inconspicuous. I have to work on that. Changing subject, is it sad that I only have two friends at school? I think so. Maybe I should start-'BANG!' I flinched. I turned to see Jake at the entrance of the compartment. This was how the scene played out.

Me-Hi Jake!

Jacob-Growl

Me-Stop growling

Jacob-Growl

Me-Are you angry?

Jacob-Growl

Me to Lily-He hasn't evolved much in the speaking and thinking department has he? (Sigh) Such a waste

Lily agrees-But

Me-I knew you'd see it my way

Jacob-Pounce

Me-Scream

Lily-Laugh

Me-run

Jacob-chase (I'm making him sound like a dog, aren't I?)

In the end, Jacob caught me, as I am now being carried on Jake's back to an uncertain doom. Well, I know what my doom is going to be, but adds to dramatic effect. It was while I was being carried that I noticed everyone was in their robes. Glancing at my watch, I saw the time. We would be arriving at Hogwarts soon. Very soon.

"Jake, can you put me down?"

"No."

But I need to change."

"Fine" He harrumphed. "But you're not getting away that easily." He grinned menacingly at me. I gulped.

"The very thought hadn't even crossed my mind."

"Yeah right." He smirked. And that was the end of that.

First morning at Hogwarts

"Jacob!" I shouted down the corridor, whilst running towards said person, who was walking very quickly away. He's not a nice person.

"Jake!" I called again, very slowly catching up to him. "Will you slow down!" I panted. As you might be able to tell, I am not the fittest person in the world, nor am I the most co-ordinated, but I can run very fast when I want to.

"I'm not walking that fast, you're just slow." He joked. Meanie. But I still smiled. "Anyway, I thought you said that you were going to aim to be fitter." He scrutinised.

"I am fitter" I replied indignantly. "Well, I'm fitter than I was last year, anyway."

"Very clever."

"I thought so too."

"Shut up, midge" I hate being short.

We were nearing the great hall now. "Sooo, who sits where?" I asked.

"Where did you sit last time?"

"How am I supposed to know?"

"Well you sat there!" He told me with irritation lacing his voice.

"True. Tell you what, let's settle this rationally." I calmly replied.

"How?" He asked me with trepidation.

"Rock Paper Scissors."

"That's rational? Okay, count of three. 1, 2, 3"

We revealed our hands. He came up with scissors, I came up with scissors. "That worked out well" I surmised. "Again, 1, 2, 3"

We revealed our hands, and my heart sunk. I got rock, but he got paper. Knew I should have done gun. See, we did this every year on the first day back. Well, not Rock Paper Scissors, but we did this to decide where we sit. Either with Lily, or the Marauders. So far, I had good luck every time, but Lady Luck has left me. Damn.

"HA!" Jacob exclaimed. "I won! For once! Now you have to sit with them." He stated smugly.

'NOOOOOOOOOOOO! The pain, the horrible pain! Okay, that may have been a little dramatic.

'It was.' Jake thought to me.

'I said that out loud didn't I?'

'Yes, you did.' He replied. That wasn't very clever of me. I should really invest in a filter between my brain and my mouth. And so, with that, I solemnly followed Jake to where the marauders were sitting. As we did this I noticed two things. 1. Lily was looking at me wondering why I wasn't sitting with her 2. The marauders were glaring at me. Oh well, they don't matter much. And I thought that out loud, since Jake was glaring at me. Oops.

When we reached where they were sitting, the first sound that came out of my mouth was a squeaked out 'hi'. Man I have problems. I looked at the marauders to see that they were close to laughing at me. Well, they can all go shove those faces up their…

"Hey guys" Jacob said, interrupting my inner rant. "How are you?"

"Good thanks" Sirius replied, ignoring my existence for the moment. "And how about you? Still alive?" I had a feeling that that jibe was directed at me.

"Yep, still breathing" And with this, he took an exaggerated breath.

"So" Oh here we go "the question that is burning on my tongue is, why have you got the snake following you around like a lost puppy?" I snorted, and Jacob glared at me.

"She's here because I want her to sit here. If you don't mind." Yes! Go Jake, go Jake, go Jake! I chanted in my head.

"Send her to her own table" Sirius whined. Out of the group, I found him the most annoying. I don't hate him, but he's annoying and whiny, for some reason. Like a dog. Jake says that he is a nice person once you get to know him, but I have yet to see this. But who am I to judge? And now there's a hand being waved in front of my face. How rude. Why can't that hand just-

"Helloooo? Anybody in there?" And then someone started tapping my head. I hate it when that happens.

"What have I told you? Not to-" Now he's interrupting me!

"Yeah, yeah, not to touch your face. I know." He told me monotonously.

"Actually, I was going to say that it's rude to interrupt people when they are off in their worlds, but that too" I said, slightly annoyed.

"Oh" He said. 'Why didn't you say that in the first place?'

'Well, I was going to but you kind of interrupted me.'

'Sorry' He thought back, sheepishly.

Both of us turning back to the marauders, Jake asked "So guys, can she please sit here?"

"Whatever. But she better not cause any trouble" James grumbled.

"Sir, Yes Sir" I mock saluted. He glared.

I could tell that this day was going to be fun. Insert evil laugh.

Well there you go. Chapter 2. Anyway, same as the last chapter, guess what book I am referring to. Hint: Growl

You the drill. Review! :)
