Platform 9 ¾ was heaving with students, but one voice could be heard clearly above the hustle and bustle.

"You Tosser! You complete and utter Tosser!"

Sirius Black was trying not to laugh. Infront of him stood a fuming Gryffindor Quiddich Captain. Rachel Jay's coffee brown hair had been turned electric blue.

"I was aiming for Snivellus, Jay. I would never intentionally do this to you." Black's sides were aching from trying to contain his laughter.

Rachel threw her hands into the air and stalked away from him.

"By the way," Sirius called after her.

Rachel turned to glare at him: "What?" she snarled through gritted teeth.

"You're really hot when you're angry."

Rachel flipped him the finger and boarded the Hogwarts Express in search of her best friend Lily Evans.

Remus Lupin looked up from his book, worried, as Sirius Black entered the train compartment that harboured the rest of the Mauderers. It appeared to him that Sirius was having difficulty breathing.

Sirius collapsed on the floor and dissolved into fits of giggles. Remus poked him with his foot.

"What did you do?" he asked.

"I. I. I. turned Rachel Jay's hair blue!" replied Sirius, bursting into giggles again.

"She can't be happy," remarked Peter Pettigrew.

"Quiet Wormtail! She was furious! It was so funny!" Sirius began to relay the story to his friends.

(A/N: I know it's unusual but I thought you'd like a different beginning! What do you think? I know it's short but Lily & James will be introduced soon, I promise. Read & Review!! Luv ~ Raven x.)
