When Malia Burke looks at people in the eyes, she hears the name of the person that means the most to them. She's gotten used to having to hear stranger's names everytime she meets someone new. What she didn't expect was looking into someone's eyes...

It wasn't often that Malia ventured as far as Gryffindor Tower or back to her dorm without at least one of her bestest friends to keep her company. Despite being a powerful, independent woman, she didn't like walking anywhere without her entourage who were the only people in the castle capable of making her crack a smile. But fate, as it always somehow manages to do, separated Malia from her pack one fateful day and it was this day that resulted in Malia gaining one friend and losing another...and you'll never guess who.
Sitting in their usual spots by the fire in the red and gold room, Malia was, typically, taking the royal piss out of James with Dia and Sirius when her vision was blocked by a waterfall of red hair. Someone, who had the power of making James look like Clifford the Big Red Dog, had leant over the back of the sofa and had placed a delicate, pale hand on James' shoulder. Malia had, of course, been present throughout the long-winded James and Lily will they won't they debacle and, as of last year, the redhead was finally beginning to tolerate James. Malia daresay she had even started to like him.
"Hey, James," Lily smiled and he winked at her with very pink cheeks, "Sirius, Malia, Dia, Bailey, Juno, Remus, Peter." she greeted each of them in turn and blew out softly to demonstrate exhaustion at how many there were, lightheartedly of course. Malia liked Lily. They hadn't had many conversations but she was undeniably lovely with her freckles, strawberry hair and radiating smile. Dia used to fancy her but, then again, Dia fancied everyone. Speaking of which, Dia's attention was suddenly encaptured by someone just behind Lily and Malia leant over slightly to follow her friend's eye of sight.
A blonde. Typical.
"Marls!" Lily beckoned the girl over and Malia spotted her roll her eyes ever so slightly before meandering over,
"I don't need any more friends," she audibly whispered to Lily and received a sharp nudge in the ribs, "Pointy-elbowed bitch." she grumbled and Dia giggled. Marls, who Malia knew to be Marlene McKinnon, seemed surprised by this, her eyes flicking to Dia who flicked her braids over her shoulder and smiled at her. Marlene raised her eyebrow at Dia, a very different reaction than she usually received with her flirty little smile, and mouthed 'you wish' as Lily pulled her by her hand to sit down on the floor. As the two newcomers engaged in conversation with Juno, Remus, Peter and James, Dia slumped backwards, crossing her arms.
"Dejected much, Casanova?" Malia whispered and Dia glared at Marlene who was laughing loudly at something James had said,
"Her charms have never failed before," Sirius smirked and Dia huffed,
"You would know," she shot back and Sirius shrugged unabashedly, "Sorry, Bails." Dia said, her eyes not moving from McKinnon,
"It's okay, I know of Sirius' previous jigolo status," Bailey bit her lip and Sirius, who had his arm around her, put a finger under her chin,
