James and Abbegayle Potter

The New Student

Chapter 10: The New Student

 a/n: from now on this fanfic will be in FIRST PERSON! Also, I am changing Abbe's animagus name to Clover!

Abbe's POV

              A man stepped out of the bushes and slowly walked towards us. He had red hair and blue eyes. He was really tall; he looked to be about 6 foot 4 inches tall. He examined us and I held onto Remus tighter. In turn he wrapped his arm around my waist pulling me closer. I look at him curiously and stand up out of Remus' arms. "Abbe! What do you think you are doing?" Sirius asked through his teeth as he gripped the sleeve of my jumper. I wretched my arm out of his grasp and held it out to the man in front of me. "Abbe 'Clover' Potter. Nice to meet you." He gaped at me but he shook my hand anyway. "And these are my friends and brother Sirius 'Padfoot' Black, Remus 'Moony' Lupin and James 'Prongs' Potter. We are the famous Marauders! Are you going to tell us who you are or...." I trailed off.

"Oh! Well, Can I talk to Professor Dumbledore first?" The man asked. I nodded and asked "Do you know where it is?" He nodded and ran off towards the castle. I turned back towards the rest of the Marauders, their mouths' wide open.

"Is there something wrong with what I just did?" I asked curiously. There didn't seem to be anything suspicious going on with the man. Though he did look suspiciously like Arthur Weasley, who was a few years older than us.

"OF COURSE!" The three of them yelled. "Why on EARTH did you do that?" Remus continued, obviously upset. Noticing the tone in his voice I decided to say something that would sure tick him off.

"Why? Are you jealous? I WAS JUST TRYING TO BE NICE." I yelled, raising my voice. Yup, just as I suspected, that ticked him off. I decided to continue. "WHY DID YOU JUST SIT THERE LIKE IDIOTS?! HE OBVIOUSLY NEEDED HELP! You guys, ALL THREE OF YOU, need to learn your manners. I SUSPECTED MORE FROM YOU, INSTEAD I GOT YOU SITTING THERE LIKE....LIKE, I DON'T EVEN KNOW! You guys will have to sort this out and then come back and talk to me. And for you Remus," I say pushing a finger into his chest, "You can count on us taking a break for a little while, until you guys can learn to be nice!" I rip my hand away from Remus and ran towards the castle with tears in my eyes. I hear someone behind me calling my name and almost turn around. 'No! You can't turn around! They will think that you are weak.' I listen to the voice in my head and keep walking towards Dumbledore's office to wait for the man.

James' POV

                  "ABBE!" I yelled as I saw her retreat back to the castle. I had to upset my sister....my only sister. I looked at Sirius and he had the same face I had. Disappointment, angriness and sadness. All pointed towards himself. I looked at Remus. His face was emotionless. Absolutely nothing. As if on cue he looked towards me along with Sirius. Sirius seemed to be the only one able to talk.

"Guys, I think we just lost a Marauder..." he said trailing off. I nodded and so did Remus. This was going to be a looonnnggg couple of days.

Abbe's POV

                    I walked through the corridors towards the Gryffindor Common Room to find Kristen, Mya and Maggie. I approached the common room and the portrait opened revealing a girl who I hadn't seen before. She had long red hair and bright emerald eyes. She looked at me and smiled, she held out her hand. "Hello I am Lily Evans! Are you the Head Girl, Abbe Potter?" I shook her hand and nodded.

"Hello! Let's go up to the dorm so we can talk!" I said taking her hand and bursting into the common room and running up the stairs. I walked into the room to see that all Kristen's, Mya's and Maggie's things were gone. There was a note sitting on Mya's bed and I picked it up and read in my head.

'Dear Abbe,

As you can see none of our things are here. Our parents have decided that it would be best if we went to Beauxbatons instead of Hogwarts for the N.E.W.T testing. We appreciate the friendship we have had with you lot and will miss you greatly! We love and miss all of you!

Your Friends,

Maggie, Mya and Kristen'

I set the letter down on my bed side table and sat down on my bed. I put my head in my hands and took a deep breath. I felt the bed dip down next to me and an arm wrapped around my shoulders. I looked up and smiled at Lily in thanks. She smiled back. She took her arm off of my shoulders and she told me of her life before she found out she was a witch.

"When I was about 9 I met boy with long black hair and brown eyes. He told me that he was a wizard also. We laid down by a pond near my house and talked about Hogwarts. When I was 11 I got a letter to go to Beauxbatons instead of Hogwarts so I went there instead." She ended. The boy she described sounded a lot like one Severus Snape.

"Lily, if you don't mind me asking, what was the boy's name? Was it Severus Snape?" I asked curiously. She nodded looking at me funny. I smiled. "He goes here! He is one of my best friends! We can talk to him tomorrow!. Let's play a game to get to know each other. We'll take turns asking questions that we will both answer." I said excitedly. She nodded and I decided to go first. "Favorite Food?"

"Oranges!" She said as soon as I asked.

"Garlic Chicken Spaghetti. It's delicious believe me!" I said.

"Favorite Color?"

"Blue." We said at the same time. I smiled at her. We are going to have a lot in common.

"Favorite Muggle Candy?" I asked.

"Skittles!" We replied at the same time once again.

I looked at my watch and noticed that it was 10 p.m. I grabbed my wand and told Lily that I had rounds and would be back in an hour. She nodded and went to grab her pajama's to go to bed. I walked down the stairs and into the common room to see that James, Remus and Sirius were sitting on the couch obviously waiting for someone. Hearing footsteps they all turned their heads towards me. One of the got up and walked over to me and whispered 'I'm Sorry' several times in my ear. I hugged him back knowing that this person truly meant it. I only knew that because I lived with him my whole life. It was James. "I forgive you, James. Now we have rounds." I said grabbing his hand and walking towards the door.

"Wait! Abbe! I am sorry too!" I heard someone shout. I turned around to see that Sirius was the one calling for me.

"I forgive you. What about you Remus?" I asked. He sat there just staring at the fire. "Fine! Let's go James!" Off we went to walk around the castle to search for people who should have been in bed.
