Being Minnie's Daughter

NEW Chapter 2

Mackenzie's POV

"GRYFFINDOR!"

I jump up grinning and give the Sorting Hat back to my mom. "Good job darling! Now just a reminder, I am your Head of House," she whispers softly before pushing me towards the Gryffindor table.

I turn and head towards the Gryffindor table. Everyone is cheering and looking up at me. I scan the table quickly and find a spot halfway down by this group of boys. I skip over and sit in the empty seat next to the boy with light brown hair with two others sitting across from me.

"Mind if I sit here?"
The boy with long black hair across from me leans back and runs his hand through his hair. "Sure gorgeous."

I raise my eyebrows and look at the other two. "Is he always like this?"

The light hair boy shakes his head, "Ignore him, I'm Remus Lupin."

"I'm Potter, James Potter," the boy with messy black hair and circle glasses says before pointing at the boy next to him, "and this arse is Sirius Black."

I nod, "Pleasure to meet you all. I'm Mackenzie but you already knew that." I reach out and scoop some salad onto my plate.

"Such a pretty name and a pretty face too. Does Miss Mackenzie have a last name?" Sirius winks at me.

I roll my eyes and turn to Remus, a badge on his cloak catching my eye. "You're our prefect?"

"And Lily Evans," he says quietly pointing down the table towards a group of girls. "She's the red head."

I nod. "Sorry Remus but I don't think we will be getting along."

A movement catches the corner of my eye and I turn just fast enough to catch a shocked look on James face. "How could you decide that already?" His face hardens as he finishes talking.

I shrug, "Trouble seems to follow me wherever I go."

Immediately James and Sirius start laughing. "Oh please, like Remus could do anything about that. We're the Marauders and he doesn't even keep us in line."

My mouth drops as I realize who these boys are. "Oh, you've got to be kidding me. Out of all the people I could sit with at this table I sit with you." I shake my head. "My mother is going to kill me."

James shrugs his shoulders, "How will she know you are sitting here? And she knows us?"

"Oh, she knows everything. I have heard so many stories about you all." I smile and shrug, "Oh well, hopefully I won't be a bad influence on you."

"Please, you are going to be nothing compared to those two," Remus says softly.

I cross my arms and stare at Remus, "I made that spell that I used earlier when I walked in."

I hear muttering next to me and turn back to James and Sirius. "Spit it out."
"We think we should collaborate on some pranks together gorgeous," Sirius says with a grin.

"Sure sweetheart," I say softly. "But quit the gorgeous act, you might have been able to pull this on every other girl here to get snogged but that's not gonna happen with me."

"We'll see about that gorgeous."
I turn back to Remus, "Like I said earlier, is he always like this?"

"He's like a dog, ignore him and he'll go away."
