Dedication for Chapter 1 to ForensicGeek2
Hogwarts- Marauder's Sixth Year, October
"Evans, your sister is being mean to us." James Potter complained, flopping down next to Lily at her place in the library. Lily Evans smiled slightly and looked up from her Herbology homework.
"What did you do to her, Potter?" Lily ask politely. James rolled his eyes.
"Nothing!" He said defensively. "I merely ask where I might find her lovely older sister, she ignored us and... Sirius shot a jinx at her turning her hair into snakes." James added finally. Lily started to rise, her hand going for her own wand, her emerald green eyes flashing dangerously with anger.
"You WHAT?!" She screeched, a bit too loudly. James held both hands up in surrender.
"Quiet, Evans. You don't want to wake the library dragon." He smirked. "And please, relax. Remus fixed it almost instantly, and she shot him with a entomorphis and told him if he didn't scurry off she'd be wiping him off the bottom of her shoe." James are nearly laughing too hard to tell the story at this point, and Lily had to admit that it was pretty humorous. Just the mental image of Sirius Black turned half bug, feelers and all, did have a certain appeal.
"You and your friends really should leave Violet out of your stalking me." Lily said with a humph, gathering up her books to walk away. James picked up after her.
"I can only make that deal if you go to Hogsmade with me." James pleaded. "This weekend. Not even all day. One butterbeer." He offered. Lily looked as though she might accept the offer for a moment, but then a grin busted out on her face.
"On second thought, it sounds like fourth year has done her some good, and she's handling her own fairly well. No deal, Potter." and Lily spun around in search for her sister. It didn't take her long to find Violet, curled up in the Gryffindor Common Room near the fire, horror novel spread out on her lap. Lily walked up and flopped gracelessly next to her younger sibling, her hair thankfully back to it's normal curly red. "Hello Medusa." Lily greeted, causing the younger girl to look up from her book.
"Which one of them did you run into?" Violet guessed, the look on her face one of pure annoyance.
"Potter." Lily informed her. "who else?"
"You're friends with Remus, aren't you?" Violet ask, returning to her book.
"I'm not sure how someone as level headed as Remus is friends with the other three." Lily replied. Violet shrugged, diving back into her book. Lily reached over and tugged the novel away. "You turned Black into a bug?"
"Roach. I call him Kafka now." She replied dully, reaching across her sister toward the novel. Lily laughed.
"You know, if I didn't know better, I'd say he fancied you." Lily teased. Her younger sister cut her hazel eyes at Lily's green, her freckled nose wrinkled at the thought.
"I am female..." Violet said, placing two fingers at the base of her neck, "And look at that. I've a pulse. I'm just his type." She rolled her eyes and took the book back from her sister, standing to head toward the dorms.
Hogsmade, December, Marauder's Sixth Year
Remus sighed as he helped stack snowballs, having been talked into leaving the warmth and comfort of the Three Broomsticks in exchange for a snowball fight Sirius and James were convinced they could get the Evans sisters and their friends into, if the only started it. James had charmed up a five foot snow fort wall, and he and the other three marauders were busy packing and stacking snowballs, awaiting an ambush. It came sooner than they realized, when Violet's voice could be heard saying 'I'm not sure, Lil, I don't know if Petunia even wants to hear from us for Christmas', it was at that point that Sirius jumped out from behind their icy cover, hurling a snowball straight for a large group of girls. The snowball sailed quickly through the air and busted Violet Evans straight in the face. The impact must have been quite a bit worse than Sirius intended, because it sent the young witch sailing backwards into the snow.
"Vi!" Sirius yelled, pushing through the girls and past Lily to get to her. Lily was immediately on the ground with the two. Sirius wrapped an arm around her and pulled Violet to be sitting up, and Lily dusted the snow off her face and hair.
"What the heck do you mean assaulting my sister, Black?" Lily barked, slapping Sirius in the arm. Sirius pushed his own ruffled raven locks from his face where they had fallen. James, Remus and Peter suddenly appeared to his defense.
"He didn't mean it Lily, I swear." Peter squeaked, looking nervous to be around the large group of both Lily and Violet's friends that were standing around watching the scene unfold.
"We were just trying to get you girls into a harmless snowball fight, honest." James added. Lily didn't seem impressed, but she accepted the explanation, and pulled Violet from the ground. Sirius was still by her side.
"Violet, I am so sorry." Sirius said quietly, dusting snow off her coat. "Really, I wouldn't do that on purpose."
"It'll be fine." she replied, bending down and taking a handful of snow, packing it into a firm ball. "Keep your eyes open, Black."
"What?" Sirius yelped, taking a step back.
"Those pretty grey eyes." Violet replied in a slow sarcastic drawl. "Keep them open." Sirius sighed, slumped his shoulders, and stood ready.
"Do your worst, Evans." He said. Violet hauled back, like she was about to put all her weight into the throw, then she dropped the snowball.
"Come on, Black." She said with a laugh. "I'm not revenge type." She turned and walked away, leaving all four Marauders baffled.
