The Good, The Bad and The Marauders
Chapter 1: Fight Me
A/N: This is my first Harry Potter fic ever. It's been quite awhile since I was in the HP fandom and I'm rereading the books now, so please bare with me if somethings seem off. Feed back would be appreciated.
First Prompt:
"I'm fighting this person and they shoved me into u I'm so sorry- oh hey you're cute- OH MY GOD UR KICKING ASS MARRY ME! PLEASE!"
xXx
"Take that blood traitor!" Avery laughed as Sirius stumbled back knocking into a body behind him. Avery and his little gang of Slytherins laughed harder as Sirius turned to see who he'd fallen into. Whiskey brown eyes stared down at him before turning a fierce glare on his aggressors. "Awe look at that, how perfect a mudblood would break your fall, Black."
"What did you say?" James growled. He and Remus had taken up position in front of him, stopping anyone from trying to strike while Sirius was down.
"You heard me Potter." he replied with a smirk. Sirius got to his feet then, putting himself between the young woman and the small group of Slytherins. The young woman in question was Hermione Granger, quiet and scary smart. She was friends with James' crush Lily Evans and until today he'd barely interacted with her. "Defending a filthy little mudblood, no wonder your mother disowned you." Avery continued.
Sirius stepped forward ready with a scathing comeback when caught sight of Hermione out of the corner of his eye. He turned his head just in time to see her shove the rather large stack of books at him, barely giving him enough time to catch them before storming up to Avery. He and his gang were laughing, clearly amused by the small girl. Without warning she cut off his laughter with a fist to the nose, taking him by surprise and knocking him to the ground.
Silence followed the surprised exclamations around them and Hermione leaned toward where Avery was lying, holding his nose as blood gushed from it. "I may be a "filthy little mudblood" but at least I'm not inbred trash."
With that she stood straight and turned on her heels stopping in front of Sirius and reaching for her books. Sirius' grin was blinding. "Sirius Black." he introduced himself.
"Good for you." she replied taking back her books and walking away without a second glance.
The small group of transgressors cleared out and the spectators dissipated, leaving Sirius, Remus and James. As James and Remus came to stand beside their friend, Sirius looked back at where Hermione had disappeared.
"I think I'm in love."
