Summary: Returning as fifth years at Hogwarts, Dyane Sherman and her two best friends, Lily Evans and Amy Roth, battle the never ending romance and drama at school.   .Can Dyane get the crush she’s had since her first year, Sirus Black, while trying to cope with her own family drama? Can Lily get James to finally change his ways? And will Amy and Lupin’s relationship last the year?

It was a normal day for Dyane Sherman. Well, if you considered previously walking through a wall just to get to Platform 9 ¾, to get to her witchcraft and Wizarding school, Hogwarts. Then, yes, it was a normal day. Dyane stood in front of the train, holding her hand in her cart’s handle bar. “Where could they be?” she asked quietly to herself. She had recently said her goodbyes to her over protective mother and father, and was now awaiting her two best friends, Lily Evans, and Amy Roth.

She glanced at her watch impatiently, sighing realizing it was five minutes till the train would have to get going. Meow, wailed the small white fur ball in the front of Dyane’s cart. “It’s ok Cougar, I’m sure they’ll be here soon.” Dyane said to the now purring cat as she pet him under his chin. The cat truly did look like a North American Cougar, only white. Dyane chuckled as Cougar started to roll over, showing off his tummy.

“OMG where did you get him? WHEN did you get him? He is so cute!” a familiar voice said, causing Dyane to stop what she doing. She turned around, her sandy blonde hair swaying to one side for a moment.

“Amy! Lily! You guys are finally here!” Dyane exclaimed, pulling the girls into one giant hug.

“DYANE!” Lily and Amy exclaimed at the same time. “Too tight!”

“Oooops! Dyane said sheepishly. Her hazel eyes shimmering in the light as she smiled her signature grin.

“Come on guys! Where gonna miss the train!” Lily suddenly said, clearly making an effort to be heard over the trains’ angry toot.

“Oh! We have so much to talk about!” Dyane said, pushing her cart towards the trains’ entrance.

“Ugh, come on Dyane, save it for the train ride. Keep moving girls!” Amy said, playfully pushing Lily and Dyane to go faster.

The girls approached the entrance, boarding the train, finally finding a empty cabin on the mid section of the train. The girls immediately dropped there stuff and then collapsed on the comfy seats. “So, how was your summer Lily?” Amy asked, opening a pack of gummy bears she obviously purchased at a muggle store on the way to the train station.

Lily and Dyane exchanged glances and then began to stare at Amy as she hungrily at the gummy bears. “What?” she asked her mouth full of gummy bears.

“You’re eating muggle food…I thought you said you hated muggle candy.” Dyane finally said, not hesitating to steal one from the bag of goods.

“Hey! I paid for those!” “And well…I kind of got addicted to them over the summer…” Amy said, obviously trying her best not to make it look like she was hiding something.

“SPILL!” Lily and Dyane said at the same time, both smiling and staring at Amy.

“It’s nothing really guys!” Amy said, finishing off the last gummy. “Just a habit I got from my mum, that’s all.”

“Habit from my mother my butt!” Lily said, “Tell!”

“Yea Amy, do tell.” Dyane chimed in, trying to keep herself from grinning too much.

“Well, um, it was a summer romance thingy uh ha ha….hmmm”

“WHAT?” Lily and Dyane exclaimed, stating to get frustrated by the lack of knowledge Amy was sharing.

“Itwasasummerromacnethingynobiggie!” Amy said again, her cheeks starting to grow more red by the minute.

“Say sl-ow-ly Amy.” Lily said, rolling her eyes.

“It…was…a…summer…romance…thingy…no…biggie!” Amy said sarcastically.

“OMG! With who?” Dyane pressed, “We promise we won’t tell anyone!”

“Totally!” Lily agreed. Both girls now had puppy dog faces.

“Fine, Remus Lupin. There I said it!” Happy?” Amy said, embarrassed.

“Aww that is so cute!” Lily said, gushing.

“Yea. Totally. Cute. But where do the gummer bears come into play?” Dyane asked, wanting details.

“It was kind of our thing; he would give me gummy bears after our dates.” Amy said shyly.

“Again C-U-T-E!” Lily said enthusiastically, starting to jump up and down excitedly.

“So Dyane, anyone you like this year?” Amy said, desperately wanting the attention to be taken off of her for a moment.

“No, not really.” Dyane answered bordley. That’s a LIE Dyane! You know you’ve had a crush on Sirius Black since your first year at Hogwarts! She thought. She then sighed; no matter how hard she tried Sirius would never notice her.

“So Lily, still trying to avoid James?” Amy asked, turning to Lily, completely ignoring Dyane’s slumped figure and sad expression.

“Yea, I guess. I hope he’s changed this year.” Lily replied, going through her school bag, looking for a book to read, when suddenly the cabins door slid open, revealing James Potter, and his posse, Sirius Black, and Remus Lupin.

“Did I hear my name escape your beautiful lips, Lily?” James said, walking up to Lily.

“No Potter, it was just your imagination!” Lily replied sarcastically, still keeping her eyes on her book.

“What’s that you’re reading?” James asked, grabbing the book from Lily’s hands. Romeo and Juliet, huh?” “Oh don’t worry Lily; I’ll be your Romeo!”

“James that is the cheesiest pick up line ever!” Lily yelled. “Now do us a favor and get out of our cabin!”

Meanwhile while James and Lily were fighting again, Remus and Amy were in deep conversation. While Sirius was busy eyeing Dyane, who was now curled up in a ball, her head facing the window of the train Gazing at the most beautiful scenery she had ever seen.

“Why are you all alone?” a voice said from behind Dyane. Sending shivers down her spine. Dyane then snapped out of thoughts and turned around to see who was talking to her. It was no one other then Sirius Black himself. His shaggy dark brown hair fit his personality perfectly and his eyes shimmering as he gazed back at Dyane, waiting for a answer.

“Oh, I’m not alone.” She said, mentally smacking herself for saying something that stupid. She suddenly grew nervous and started to tug her wavy sandy blonde hair. Her grin automatically showed insecurity and Sirus had taken that as a complement.

“Really? Then why are you sitting here all alone then?” Sirius said, sitting himself down next to her. He stared at the beautiful girl in front of him. He found himself wanting to know more about this girl. She was quite the mystery to him. And he found that very intriguing. But before he could say anything more, he found himself being pulled away by Remus, who was obviously annoyed by James actions.

When the boys left. Lily and Amy both turned to Dyane and asked “Was Sirus Black just talking to you?”

“Yes, yes he was…” was all Dyane said, as she turned back to the window, secretly wandering why Sirius had wanted to talk to her.

The other two girls just shrugged and carried on with their activities they were doing before James and his posse interrupted them.
