Okay, so I haven't added a new chapter in a while, of course, I have multiple excuses.
Oh, no, you won't hear them though,
I'm saving them for school.
Lee, was not amused.
She had been owled 2 more letters from her Head of House demanding that she come to classes.
Lee didn't give a damn about classes and grades, really. There was nobody to scold her when she got a low mark on an exam, or nobody to give her one of those thumbs up and prideful grins.
But there was Mcgonagall. And Dumbledore. And her friends.
Oh, wait, she didn't freaking have any.
Thank you, Black.
That was sarcasm. And a whole lot of it.
Lee wasn't looking forward to the next lesson she had, quite frankly she did not look forward to any lessons she had. Especially DADA.
So that was why, dear children, Lee was mumbling advanced curses under her breath and fingering her wand while stomping down the flight of stairs, she had been forced to go back to attending classes.
Oh, also, Black and his boyfriend Pettigrew were there.
Why they took Care Of Magical Creatures? She'll never know.
Lee groaned, she was first in the class and she sat in an awkward silence infront of desk while Professor Widdi, a short, plump man with long ears and a bald head sat surveying her.
Also he seemed to dislike Lee, hence, the sneering. The feeling was quite mutual.
"You haven't been attending my classes for quite a while." He said.
Lee shrugged, "Don't make yourself seem special, I haven't been attending any of my classes lately."
Widdi's face was now the same color as Evans' hair. He pointed a finger at her but just as he opened his mouth a group of students piled into the room, joking around and laughing with each other.
They came to a sudden halt when they noticed Lee.
"Careful, she might just Crucio you." Smirked Pettigrew.
Lee stood, felt into her pocket, pulled her wand out and pointed it at pettigrew. Everybody there just laughed, including Widdi.
"Going to kill me with a quill?" He wheezed in between breaths.
Lee confusingly looked down at her hands to find not her wand, but her quill.
They laughed harder.
"HEY! Wormtail, you wouldn't guess the size of the pair of-" Black came staggering over to Pettigrew and waving at him whim he stopped in mid sentence when he saw Lee.
By then everybody had stopped laughing and had held their breaths to hear some all time funny joke about Lee told by Black.
Instead,
"Oh, Merlin, I am so SORRY!" He rushed over to Lee leaving a shocked audience behind. "TRULY AND HONESTLY SORRY!" He reached for her hand, only for her to pull it out of his reach.
No, Merlin, she wasn't going to cry, not now.
"Settle down students, except Miss Bermuda, come to the front of the class to receive your detention slip-"
"BUT-" Lee started.
"No 'buts'! I don't care! Saturday night with me, you'll be cleaning the fruggers' sheds." He took a deep breath. "Now, class, turn to page 104 of your text book..."
After stalking to the front of the class and receiving her detention slip, she went back to her seat to find Black sitting in the chair next to her's watching her worriedly. She grunted and slumped back into her chair, open her textbook to some random page and started drawing a man, that closely resembled Professor Widdi, hanging himself.
"That's really good." Whispered Black.
Lee sighed, "Ok, small talk aside, lets get to the point; do you want something from me Black?"
"I want to apologise for-" Black started.
"Ruining the little reputation I had?" She whispered angrily.
"Right, listen, I-"
"Do you even know my name?" Lee quirked an eyebrow.
"Ashley Be-"
"Wrong. All my non-existent friends know that I hate the name Ashley, so I go by Lee."
"Ok, Lee, can you forgive me?" He begged. Aww, when he did the puppy eye thing he looked so cute.
Lee wasn't giving in, though. There had to be some reason he wanted her to forgive him, for his benefit. "Why do you care whether I forgive you or not?"
"Because accusing somebody of being a Death-Eater is never-"
"Whats in it for you, if I forgive you?"
"BERMUDA! BLACK! DETENTIONS!" Widdi Bellowed.
Lee and Sirius ducked their heads under their desk simultaneously and continued their rudely interrupted discussion in cautious whispers,
"Nothing, I swear!" Black whispered defensively.
"On your mother's grave?" Lee asked skeptically.
He rolled his eyes. "I honestly wish my mother would die, but yes, there is nothing in it for me..." He raised his eyebrows, "And really, I should make you swear on your mother's grave not to use me, you know because I'm devilishly handsome and smart and-"
"I don't have a mother." Her whisper was barely audible and she refused to look at anything except her shoes.
They needed some cleaning...
"Hey," He tilted her chin up, she flinched.
flinched. What a Gryffindor! She needed to get over her petty past.
"Listen," He scratched the back of his neck. "I didn't mean-"
"BLACK AND BERMUDA SEPARATE YOURSELVES FROM EACH OTHER NOW! IN FACT, YOU'LL HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TOGETHER IN DETENTION FOR THE NEXT MONTH!"
Classic Widdi.
The class erupted into laughter, while Lee blushed madly, she didn't have time to look at the reaction on Sirius' face before he hit the top of the table -earning another round of laughter- and stumbling to an empty seat in the far corner of the classroom.
She slumped back into her chair, groaned and put her head in her hands.
When class had ended, Sirius was whisked away by Peter to the front of the class so he could receive the details for his detention and leave.
Lee was still at her desk, over the ruckus the students were making to get out of class, he could hear her humming and see her doodling something on her finger.
He shoved Wormtail out of his way, ("HEY?!") and rushed over to her desk,
"Listen- again- I am still really sorry, so is it okay if we be friends or-"
"What?"
"Ill repeat it over and over again, accusing someone of being a death eater-"
"No, I mean, you want to be friends?" Why was she freaking blushing!?
"Of course, I mean, you'll have to forgive me first-"
"I forgive you." She said really quickly.
"Really?" His midnight-blue eyes were dancing with mirth. Aww, the dark eyes really complimented his black, shiny, longish hair, if only she could stroke it...
"Yes." She breathed.
"Great." He grinned, but his smile faltered a little when he noticed how nervous Lee looked. "Is something wrong?"
"N-no, just, won't people think you're weird if you'd be seen with me?"
"Nah- I don't care about those tossers anyway- we'll still be friends."
"Promise." She demanded.
"Cross my heart." He grabbed the parchment Lee was drawing on and drew a wonky heart with a little 'x' in the middle.
"Well aren't you darling?" she said sarcastically.
"That's what I do," He shrugged. "I'm awesome like that."
"I know, you're just sooo perfect we all detest you for it." She mock fanned her face.
He pretended to pose and then said while pouting his lips, "Of cooourrsse darling!"
Lee was very amused.
Okay, so I finished this...
Took me longer than I thought it would.
AND, I JUST FRIGGIN NOTICED THAT THEIR SHIP NAME IS SIRIUSLEE, LIKE, SERIOUSLY?
IKR?!
Anyway, I love pine-cones.
AND (wow I say that a lot) I would also like to inform 'areyousiriuslysirius' that she should reply to my texts, otherwise I might just combust because of the lack of Harry Potter talk.
