Here is my try on a Remus/OC fanfiction and onesided- Severus/OC with many others.
Thank you those who had review and the those who placed this in their alert list. It means alot to me ^^
I need a beta x.x currently looking for one
If you have any ideas you're welcome to share ^^
I do not own Harry Potter.
I just own Martina and Eric Brightmore, some original characters and the plot.
Martina Bightmore and the rest of the Brightmore family are originally from America so they don't really have British accents much seeing Martina spend 11 years in America and only 6 years in London. Their accents are mixed XD
Chapter Four: Marauders Prank
For some reasons she couldn't define the world decided to make her life even more horrible as it already was when Professor Jennings partner her up with Remus Lupin for dueling training for the rest of the term. Like hell she needed it; but while everyone else already partnered leaving her without someone Professor Jennings paired her up with Remus. She didn't need to stay for this lesson. Being a Death Eater had some perks. She knew how to duel. Martina doesn't like to boast, but she knew she could hold herself in a battle. She done so with many aurors in the past.
The desks were moved to the side and Martina couldn't help to feel many stares or glares aiming at her. The only friendly gaze was Remus. He pulled out his wand just as she pulled out hers, he glanced up at her and once more those beautiful amber eyes locked on her blue orbs.
"We haven't introduce ourselves properly, I'm Remus Lupin." He smiled even though we already knew each other names. Martina smiled sadly, feeling her heart skipped a beat once more in his company. This was another thing she liked about him. Always polite.
"Martina Brightmore, pleasure to meet you." Martina smiled and Professor Jennings made a round passed them.
"Now class we're going to learn how to properly use a shield charm. You're partner will cast a hex at you and you will try to reflect it." Professor Jennings explained while he slapped the back of Sirius Black's head who tried to cast a hex behind Martina's back.
"Ow!" Sirius gasped-
"Pay attention, Mr. Black."
"I go first." Martina whispered and she wasn't sure if he can heard her until she saw him nodded his head.
With a wave of his wand Remus cast a Bat-Bogey Hex.
"Protego" Martina flicked her wand upward and she blocked the hex easily. Her reflexes were fast and Remus almost didn't see her move her hand at all. She almost didn't say the words, she didn't need to.
The urge to cast a nasty hex came over her and she felt like she was back at the raids fighting, she fought the urge down and smiled uneasy at Remus who looked at her impressed.
"H-How was that?"
"Perfect, good job." His praised made her blush before she heard him chuckle lightly under his breath.
"You don't get praise much do you?" He remarked watching the blush reached down Martina's breath.
All of a sudden she couldn't breath and she almost gasped for air for a minute before she finally able to grasp oxygen,
"M-My turn." Martina stumbled-
Martina quickly cast a Growth Charm at Remus who had almost wasn't able to block it. The reminder of the class time was like this. Her throwing hexes and Remus trying to block them well and done the same to her.
Martina was finally smiling, finally having fun for once, and Remus even acting like he wanted to be her friend. That change till she was hit with James Potter hex. Laughter; echoed though out the room as she fell to her knees gasping for air once more. Her face turning blue for the lack to oxygen.
A set of fish gills appeared on the side of her neck.
"Martina" Remus kneeled down next to her, his arm around her shoulder trying to see what was wrong with her.
"Miss. Brightmore are you okay?" Questioned Professor Jennings only receiving gasping as a replied.
"Mr. Lupin, please escort Miss. Brightmore to the Hospital Wing."
Martina pulling down her collar of her shirt revealing the gills that lined up to her neck and Remus felt both pity and anger at James prank. He had gone too far this time.
"That was classic, Prongs." Sirius remarked.
Remus led Martina out of the classroom fast as he could before she fell once more in the Hallway blacking out.
Remus cursed-pressing the tip of his wand on her gills-
"Finite " Remus muttered.
The tip of his wand glowed and soon the gills retreated back into her neck leaving a very red mark.
Martina gasped once more before tears began to dropped from her blue eyes. A sob left her lips as she buried her eyes with the back of her hands shaking. Her lungs squeezed tight in pain.
She guessed that she deserved it from all the pain and crimes she done.
Afternoon passed by fast and all the classes she had with Remus he was next to her since the trip back from the Hospital Wing. He seemed not wanting to leave her side even for a minute and Martina found this very confusing. He pity her. He felt guilty for what his friends done.
"Remus, I'm fine. I promise." Martina uttered at the end of Charms. He just smiled at her packing up his parchment and ink into his bag.
"I know, I just want to hang out with you." The lie came out natural from his lips.
"Moony! What are you doing?" Sirius called out; Remus ignored him, grabbing Martina hand firmly within his guiding her out of Charms.
"What is your last class?" He asked kindly,
Martina smiled feeling very unease. Slytherin was giving her odd looks and Gryffindor sending her angry glares.
"Ancient Runes."
Remus smiled yet again, making her heart skipped another beat.
"I'll walk you there. I have a free period."
"What the bloody hell were you guys thinking?" Remus snapped at both James and Sirius once he reached inside of the common room; seeing his best friends sitting in front of the Heath joking around laughing at something James said, maybe the prank he done to Martina in DADA class.
"Then her eyes watered! Actually watered. I didn't know that bloody Slytherins can cry!" Peter hid behind of the chair watching, Remus flume.
"Oi Moony why were you clinging to that Slytherin like that?" Sirius questioned, accusing. Remus rolled his eyes-
"James! How many times do I tell you to leave her alone?" Remus scowled, James stared at his bestfriend shocked.
"But Moony can you see she's tricking you?" James snapped;
"Tricking me? I can quiet handle myself." That was the first real fight that the Marauders had in awhile. Once Remus finished his rant he sighed.
"I'm taking a nap. Don't bother me." He left them to themselves.
"I can't believe this. That little tramp, is getting him against us. We never fight before he took a notice of her." Sirius muttered angry under his breath. Remus was being tricked. Why couldn't he see that? She was a Slytherin and a possible Death Eater. She's no good.
They were trying to help him.
Severus Snape sighed to himself as he watched Martina struggling with her Potions essay. He could see dark circles forming under her eyes. He looked at her parchment and rolled his eyes at her idiocy,
"If someone considered using your essay in real life Brightmore, they would certainly blow up into tiny pieces." He remarked; watching a frown formed on her face.
"Well let them explode." Martina remarked dryly, Severus chuckled.
"Remove the unicorn hair from the first paragraph."
Martina blinked. She stopped writing and glance at Severus confused. He was working on his charm essay.
He didn't look up from his parchment but he felt her eyes on him anyway.
"What?"
"Remove the unicorn hair from the first paragraph." He repeated himself annoyed. He wasn't going to repeat himself again.
"Oh"
She bit her lower lip before crossing out the unicorn hair.
Severus let his eyes wandered to the young dark-haired girl whom often give him the time of day just being his friend. Something deep with his stomach flipped.
"Thank you." She beamed up at him and Severus felt himself blushing. Blushing? He don't blush. He snapped his gaze away from her suddenly,
"Just pay more attention next time in class." He snapped; going back to work leaving Martina wondering what was wrong with him.
