《Unknown》Chapter 2

**Sirius' POV**

The boys and I were waiting in the common room for breakfast to start (we got up earlier than normal because of the full moon last night) when a scream comes from the girl's dorms.

"SOPHIA ROSE I AM GOING TO MURDER YOU!!" Lily Evans screams. Sophia suddenly dashes down the stairs, laughing.

"You love me Lils! Everyone does!" Sophia shouts over her shoulder at the girl chasing her. Lily growls in response and Sophia laughs again. She runs past us and the wind from her speed blows my hair slightly. That girl is fast. That's when I realize that Lily's hair is neon green. I bite back a laugh along with the other guys.

Sophia runs at the wall and uses her momentum to climb the wall and grab onto the bricks. She climbs until she's about twenty feet up and sits on a ledge. She mockingly waves at Lily who glares up at her.

"Fix this!" She demands. Sophia flicks her wand and Lily's hair returns to normal. Sophia swings her legs.

"Aren't you going to come down?" Remus calls to her.

"I don't know how?" she calls back.

"Hop down. I'll use a spell to slow you down so you don't hurt yourself," Lily suggests. Sophia nods and stands up. She turns and falls backwards. Lily mummers a spell and flourishes her wand in Sophia's direction. She slows and gently lands on the ground. Sophia hops up.

"That was fun. I should do that again. Or bungee jump off a bridge," Sophia sas to herself. Peter gasps and I was horrified. Why on Earth would she jump off a bridge?!

"Don't do that!" Peter exclaims. Sophia turns to him and smiles a breathtaking smile.

"It's a muggle thing. I won't die or anything. Thank you for your concern though," Sophia kisses him on the cheek and walks out of the common room with Lily. Peter's eyes were as wide as saucers and James looked like had tasted something sour.

"Stupid Rose. Stay away from her. She's toxic," James tells us. Remus gives him and incredulous look.

"She seems fine to me. I personally think she would be a great friend. What do you have against her?" Remus asks.

"It's complicated," James says cryptically.

"Did you guys used to date?" I ask suggestively. James looked like he was going to be sick.

"Merlin no! I think I'm going to throw up!" James exclaims.

"Calm down Prongs. Let's go to breakfast," Peter says.

"That's our Wormtail, always thinking with his stomach," I shake my head with a smile.

"Shut up Padfoot," Peter grumbles as his face turns red. We chuckle and walk out of the common room. Outside of the Great Hall we see Sophia and Lily having a hushed conversation.

**Sophia's POV**

"What's going on between you and Potter?" Lily asks me before I can go into the Great Hall.

"I don't know what you mean," I lie.

"Something is obviously going on. You two seem to hate each other but I don't think you've ever talked to one another. Did he do something to you?" Lily asks. I sigh and pull her into a more secluded area.

"I'm only telling you this because I need to tell someone. I feel like I'll explode if I don't. James is my brother. We had an argument before first year and we haven't made up. I don't even remember what it was about. But we're both hard headed and stubborn. Now I go by my middle name. I miss him Lily. I just want my brother back," I whisper brokenly. Lily pulls me into a hug.

"I may not like your brother. And I may have just met you but I consider you one of my close friends. I know how it feels to miss your sibling. My older sister thinks I'm a freak. I don't want you to go through this. I won't tell anyone Sophie but you have to say something to him," Lily says softly into my ear. I pull back.

"I can't Lils. He hates me. He doesn't want me as his sister," I mutter.

"Then he's a bigger fool than I took him for. You are an amazing person and I would be glad to be related to you," Lily say making me feel a thousand times better. I wipe my eyes and giggle.

"Give it some time and you might be," I smirk. Lily swats me on the arm and I yelp.

"Abuse!" I exclaim childishly.

"What're you guys doing?" Remus asks as he and Marauders walk over.

"She hit me," I pout. Sirius slings his arm around my shoulders.

"It's okay, love. I'll keep you away from the big bad Lily," he says playfully. I snort and shrug off his arm.

"You're a dork. And don't call me that. I will slap you. Let's go Lils," I link my arm with Lily's and we strut into the Great Hall. We sit down and the Marauders join us. Marlene groans.

"Do you have to sit here?" she asks.

"Yes," Sirius tells her.

"Sorry about him," Remus says.

"Not your fault your friend's an arse," I shrug.

"Language," Lily says, almost absentmindedly. I stare at her for a minute and sigh in disappointment.

"Buzzkill," I mutter. Peter and Sirius snicker while Remus smiles lightly and my bone-headed brother scowls at me.

"Can I help you?" I ask him coldly.

"Yeah. Do me a favor and stay away from my friends," James sneers.

"You sat here not the other way around Charles. Feel free to leave," I snap. I turn to my food and Lily grips my hand supportively. I smile at her and finish my meal.

"What class do we have next?" Alice asks.

"Al, it's Saturday. We don't have classes," Marlene tells her. Alice turns bright red stuffs a roll into her mouth. I giggle and swing my legs over the bench.

"I'm gonna go to the Black Lake. Who wants to come with?" I ask. The girls stand to join me and Sirius stands as well.

"What the bloody hell are you doing?" James hisses angrily. Sirius looks at him incredulously. I don't want to watch my brother and his best mate yell at one another so I high tail it out of the room.

"Why'd you leave so quickly?" Marlene asks me.

"Watching them argue would have been like watching someone give birth. Hard to look away but really horrible," I shrug. The girls make a face.

"I don't even want to know why you know these things," Alice says, voice tinged with disgust. I flash a smile and sit underneath a tree, across the lake from the Marauders'.

"So, what's up with you and Potter?" Marlene asks casually as she files her nails. Lily and I share a glance.

"It's nothing. He's just a prick," I say with an even voice that I had perfected over the years.

"Okay," Alice says with a look that says that she doesn't believe me. I sigh and lay back on the grass. The robe digs into my back so I sit up and remove it before laying back down and crossing my ankles. The sun beats down on me, the warmth soaking into my skin and I grow drowsy. I slowly fall asleep.

**James Potter's POV**

The boys eventually drag me outside and across the lake to where the girls are sitting. Lily looks up at us and rolls her eyes before going back to her book. Marlene doesn't even look up from painting her nails when she huffs in aggravation. Alice offers us a smile before going back to gazing at Frank Longbottom. My eyebrows furrow as I don't immediately spot Sophia. Then, I see her sleeping in the sun like a cat. My expression softens but I put my walls back up before anyone can see.

"How come you guys only just met Rose? Don't you share a dorm?" Sirius says, skipping all formalities. I roll my eyes at him and take a seat across from Lily. The boys sit down around me.

"She never really talked to us. And she didn't spend much time in the dorm. I only really talked to her when I almost ran her over," Lily says, blushing a bit.

"And she's very hard to wake up so good luck with that 'cause we aren't doing it," Marlene says as she stands. The boys give Sophia apprehensive looks. I sigh.

"I'll do it," I speak up in a soft voice. Everyone looks at me in surprise but Lily's look has a knowing glint. Weird.

I stand and crouch next to my sister. "Sophia," I say softly. "C'mon. Wake up." Sophia stirs and sits up groggily. She blinks at me, not quite comprehending, before her eyes widen and she stands quickly.

"Um, thanks," Sophia says quietly as I stand as well. I nod and we both head off to our respective friend groups. I miss her so much. But I'm stupid and stubborn. Merlin, how am I supposed to get my sister back when she doesn't want to be my sister?
