A/N: This is something new that I'm trying. Give me a few chapters to get in to it :) enjoy.

Just a quick filler on Billie, She's james' twin, fourteen minutes younger than him and has long, messy black hair and hazel eyes and is pretty chuffed she doesn't have to wear glasses like her brother and father do. Her best mate's Lily.

That should help you understand it a bit more!

Sept 1st.

Back to school. Yay . . .not.

8:00am

Just woken up to the sound of mum congratulating James, I mean, that's ok but all she and dad ever seem to do is congratulate the boy, sure, he got all O's in his OWLs and he's been made quidditch captain and more recently head boy but really! I want some love too! Obviously I don't resent my twin for it, I mean me and James, we're like two peas in a pod, identical in almost every way except he's a boy and I'm a girl, which of course does create some minor differences. Plus were close, even Sirius, his best friend doesn't know half the stuff I know about James, even though there's only a 14 minute difference in our ages (he's older) he's always been the responsible one, the caring big brother. When we were kids we used to pretend we were each other and not even mum could tell the difference when I had my hair short, now, it's long and black and a complete mess in the mornings. I'd better get a move on, at least all my stuff's packed – see I'm not completely slack!

9:00am

Ok, I am completely slack, ten minutes after I'd finished getting changed Sirius (he moved in this summer) waltzed in and asked me if I'd seen my broom, obviously I wanted to know what the hell he wanted my broom for and then I realised that I'd left it in the garage, dad wasn't best pleased that he had to open it all up again and I swear I saw James smirk as he walked past. I'm not going to survive this year.

12:00pm

I hate James. I LOATHE HIM! While we were waiting on platform 9¾ he immediately went off to "find some people he knew" which I knew meant my best friend Lily Evans – he's besotted with that girl – of course when I went off to find her before he did mum called me back and said that "she didn't want me getting lost" HOW WOULD I GET LOST?! Grrr! I was about to complain when James sauntered back with a fake grin and dragged me off with him.

"James!" I protested as he pulled me through the crowds of hugging families.

"What?! I'm helping you!" His grip tightened on my arm and his grin disappeared.

"Where are we going?" I sighed, I know James, and he wasn't going to let me escape on this one.

"To find Sirius." He replied shortly.

"And you are physically unable to do that by yourself?"

"Something like that." James answered lamely, scanning the nearby faces for someone he knew.

"Where would he be?" I winced as James nails dug into my wrist sharply, "OW!"

"There." My brother nodded over to the left and released my arm. I peered over and saw a crowd of people dressed in fine clothes with cold and haughty expressions on there faces, facing the crowd, with his back to us and his wand gripped in his right hand was Sirius.

"What the hell is he doing?!" I gasped.

"He's being a prat, that's what." James eyes narrowed as a tall black haired woman stepped forward; she would have looked quite pretty if it wasn't for the malice in her grey eyes and the way her upper lip curled as she snarled at her son. We stood and watched for a while, both of us unsure of what to do. Eventually, Sirius spat at his former family's feet and turned away, his face turning a guilty red when he spotted us. Thing is with Sirius you see, if he hates something, he hates it whole heartedly, same with James, they don't care if they cause a scene just to prove that they're better than the people they hate. I tried telling this to Lily at the end of fifth year but she wouldn't listen, to be honest, I don't blame her. But that Snape guy, if I wasn't Lily's best friend I'd throw a couple of hexes at him myself. He's just a greasy git up to his crooked nose in dark arts.

"I'm sorry guys." Sirius hung his head and I gave him a hug on behalf of James, it would v-e-r-y uncool for my brother to be hugging his best friend in full view of the entire school especially as half of our year would already know that Sirius had moved in with us over the summer, I wondered evilly what scandal had leaked around already.

"Dickhead." James laughed and draped his arms around the both of us.

We found Moony with his parents looking a hell of a lot better than he had been the last time I saw him during the holidays, probably because then next full moon was in a week so he was at the height of his well being.

"How you been over the hols?" Sirius asked politely, smoothly, almost unnoticeably implying about the boy in front of him being a werewolf – Remus' parents aren't aware that we know about their son turning into a rabid dog every time the moon makes a proper circle.

"Ok." He smiled weakly. James' hand found his shoulder.

"It'll be better with us here now." We all grinned, although I'm not an animagus and I'm not physically able to join them on their monthly jaunts, I'm still classed as a marauder, I'm in on the secret and half of their less evil pranks were my idea, I just hope Lily never finds out, she'll eat me alive!

The boys strolled off to find Peter and I wandered back to a disapproving mum and dad. I swear they hate me they do! Nevertheless, mum had tears in her eyes as she gave me and James our hugs goodbye, dad laughed and told her not to be silly, that we were 16 year olds now and it wasn't cool for us to be seen with a crying mother. He's right of course, but it is a bit hypocritical for him to say that as even being seen across the road from him in public is mortifying. James and I have tried to tell him on numerous occasions that camouflage trousers on a fifty year old are socially unacceptable, along with turtleneck jumpers, pink, mountain climbing gear and skipping, he just won't listen. We pushed onto the train and found our way into "our" compartment, in our third year we engraved the words "reserved for marauders and friends" into the glass, Dumbledore, much to the annoyance of the fat woman who pushes the trolley, found it quite amusing and has forbidden anyone to remove it, sad to think that this'll be our last year riding to Hogwarts in this compartment, real sad.

Lily appeared briefly and we did our special handshake – I know we're that cool – much to Sirius' amusement, he's always found my childish ways funny. Then she dragged James off to the prefect's compartment for their head meeting after swearing that she wouldn't try to strangle him like she did the last time they were alone together and he swearing he wouldn't annoy her. I felt quite pleased with myself; hopefully neither of my best friends will die.

1:00pm

James and Lily still aren't back, Sirius, Remus, Peter and I have eaten all the sweets we bought and are on our sixteenth game of exploding snap. What a life I lead.

1:30pm

James and Lily still aren't back. Sirius, Remus, Peter and I found more sweets in the bottom of Peter's bag but we've eaten those too, now we're on our twenty-third game of exploding snap. It's started to rain and I feel quite depressed.

2:30pm

James and Lily still aren't back. We gave up the snap a while ago, Remus is reading, Peter is asleep and Sirius and I are going through the alphabet and thinking of the rudest word we can for each letter. We're stuck on Q, X and Z. BORED!!

3:00pm

Where the hell are James and Lily?! Sirius said that the meeting probably finished ages ago and they're in the loos making out. I was going to go check but then Remus told us both not to be stupid and to shut up. We spent the next five minutes doing crude impressions of him until he whacked us over the head with his book. The Advanced Art of Rune Reading Volume III written by Ihav Nolife, jokes I don't know, or care who wrote it, is a thick book and it hurt you know! Peter has slept through all this. Sirius and I are going to rummage through his trunk and see what he's got hidden in there even if Moony says no. Well unless he says no very forcefully.

3:05pm

Moony said no. Extremely forcefully.

3:45pm

James and Lily are back FINALLY! Sirius, Moony and I gave them a standing ovation when the entered looking tired and fed up; they just rolled their eyes slumping down heavily and waking Peter up with a jolt. Then they relayed the meeting to us, leaving me feeling less and less sorry for myself every minute, by the sounds of things I'm not going to see Lily at all this year! She and James have to patrol the corridors from 8 'til 11 every weeknight and attend and arrange prefect meets twice a week as well as fitting in all their homework and stuff. I had to stop myself from laughing, James is going to DIE! Sirius flashed me a look that clearly read: LOSERS and sadly, although I love my brother and my best friend dearly I had to agree. We spent the rest of the train ride laughing, joking and reminiscing, Lily stayed put in our compartment, despite the fact that she supposedly hated my brother and his friends. It was nice seeing everyone get on, it's a rare thing.

7:00pm

I was never that small! – B

You were! I remember, you were a little titch. – S

Cheers, Sirius you make me feel so damn loved – B

'Swhat I'm here for – S

Sirius grinned evilly as he passed my diary, back to me. We were sat at our house table, both bored, while the tiny first years were being sorted. Lily feigned interest, but she had told me many a time that she found the whole process annoying.

What, being irritating and grumpy? – B

I am not grumpy! – S

You so are! Your signature face looks like you've got a wasp in your mouth! – B

Yeah, it's called pouting, it's sexy! – S

Riiiiiiight, whatever you say – B

It is, ask any girl other than you and Lily – S

Maybe I will. – B

You won't – S

How do you know? – B

Because you're too chicken, you're only friends with Lily, your brother and you're brother's friends – S

I was friends with Moony before you guys were! – B

Suuuuure. – S

I was, HEY MOONY, wasn't I friends with you before James and Sirius were? – B

Yeah, I think so – R

See – B

He's only trying to make you feel better. Don't worry about it though, being a loner, it suits you, it'd be weird if you were popular – S

Gee, I love you too – B

I know you do, it's the pout, gets everybody, even Moony – S

What do you mean "even Moony" ? – R

Yeah, what do you mean? Are you trying to suggest that Moony here is unloving? – B

Course I'm not, I know stuff about Moony's love life that would make you're hair curl – S

Don't wanna know! – B

Don't worry Bills, he doesn't know a thing – R

Yeah, don't worry duck, don't worry at all – S

Duck? – B

Ducks have Bills – S

That's crap – B

Don't crush my creative flow! – S

I had such a good retort but then Yang, Henry was placed in Ravenclaw and Dumbledore stood up to give his annual speech. This year it was mostly about sticking to the rules, he gazed pointedly over to us Marauders and smiled briefly when he said this, and about house cooperation – pah! Like that's ever going to happen! Salazar Slytherin, the ugly prat, may he rot slowly in his grave, made his choice about house cooperation when he decided to be picky about who went into his house, so if a fight breaks out in a corridor don't blame us, blame him.

After that we ate, bangers and mash with peas and a large slice of chocolate cake for afters, I eat for too much but according to Lily I'm one of the lucky people who can eat everything in the world and not put on a gram. James is like that too, we're both dead skinny.

11:00pm

Man, I'm tired! Everyone in the girl's dorm's asleep except me, Lily's curled up in a tight ball with only the top of her flaming red head visible over her covers in the bed opposite her is Alice White, soon, me and Lils are praying, if the damn guy gets his act together, to be Alice Longbottom, how cute does that sound?! There are only the three of us in here, although there are about six girls in all the other houses – sucks but really I wouldn't want to share a dorm with some of the girls in our year. Take Sarah Freeth, I really loathe her, when I say there's nothing real about her I mean it! Everything from her straightened white- blonde hair down to her pink false toenails has had beauty treatment, to be honest, and a lot of people agree, it hasn't worked, she looks like an orange version of miss piggy! Hah, I love the Muppets, as Lily showed me a video of them when I went over to hers in the holidays. Much like Ruby Donalds, a Sarah wannabe, straightened hair, fake tan, uses a beach spade to apply her makeup, mega bitch, same old, same old. Also in their little posse of Barbie dolls is Amy Whitcliffe, Emily Sandlong, unfortunately named, I know, and Jess Guetting - pronounced Getting. All they do all day is chase Sirius and my brother around batting their (fake) eyelashes that are so covered in mascara if you listen hard they go clack. It's disgusting! I've found them hiding around corners waiting to ambush the boys, it's sad really; I mean they're not even that good looking! (James and Sirius, not the gang of tarts, they look like pigs and act like cows. What a farm we have here at Hogwarts!) I'm not looking forward to tomorrow, the waking up early is fine, I can deal with that but knowing my luck, I'll end up with double history of magic first thing on a morning, being honest I don't even know why I let James and Sirius bribe me into taking this subject, I could of taken Divination and drank tea with Alice, but no, I have to sit and listen to a ghost ramble about dead wizards that really, did nothing for the world! Mind you, there are some serious note taking opportunities in that lesson and I bought the nicest jeans in the world with the money they gave me. My worst day possible would consist of History of magic, Potions, Charms then Astronomy, it's not that I don't like to look at the stars, I just like to do it when I want to, not because I have to fill in a chart by Wednesday!

Anyway, we'll see what my timetable's really like tomorrow.

Adios.
