DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER
'Becky the bookworm
Walking all alone
Pathetic
Nobody likes her
Everyone just say bad things about her
Because the only friend Becky the bookworm has
Is a work of fictional crap' Peeves sang as I walked to the common room. I gave him a glaze where I said what I thought about his so called, song writing skills but he only sang louder. I tried to ignore it, it didn't work. What he said always stuck in my brain and that was mostly because he always said was a thing I always had in the back of the brain. I hated that when someone sad something bad about me I could never let it go and it was all I thought about. What if everyone that I befriended this years talked bad things about me behind their back? What if I was just a plaster they wanted to get ride of?
Peeves had now disappear and gone off attacking a poor first year. I walked to the portrait of the fat lady.
'Chocolate frogs'
'Password has been changed' she said coldly. I had totally forgotten that they had changed the password earlier this term. I was starting to panick trying to remember what it was
'Snitch' I said after a while and the portrait opened.
It was a school week night so of course everyone was sitting in the common room. Lily was sitting on the floor in front of the fire place, studying, Mary and Dorcas was playing wizard's chess and Alice was in the armchair petting her cat, Dexter. I sat down next to Lily.
'Becky do think Alice is fat?' Lily asked me, completely random. How can anyone think Alice was fat? If Alice was fat then I had to be obese or something.
'No' I said confused.
'SEE no one thinks you're fat Alice' Lily said determined. Alice sighed. Apparently she didn't think so which was completely ridiculous. Lily started to lecture Alice about her weight. That was when I saw Sirius, James and Peter holding a black potions book as they stood together in a group . A book that looked exactly like the one Snape had protected when he started to attack, or well attack and attack rather defend himself although that wasn't correct either against James.
I decided to see what they were up to. I stood up and walked to them. I was a bit afraid of what they would think of me intrduing on them but I could always make up some lie about me needing to ask them for homework…
'Hi guys. What are you up to?' I asked unsure. The guys turned around and looked relived when they saw me.
'Just you' James asked relived, I nodded.
'We stole the book from Snape.' Peter said as James and Sirius grinned.
'But why do you want to have to have a murky potions book?' I asked, confused.
'Ah, Becks…Becks…Becks this is not a just a murky potions book' Sirius said happy.
'What is it then?' I asked confused.
'This is our weapon against Snivellus' James said
'Again, not really following' I said
'Snape has written loads of useless things in this, as how to make a potions easier. However there are some good things, some really good things' Peter said
'He has developed new spells, that we can use against him. It's brilliant we don't need to o anything because he has done it for us unconsciously.' Sirius said. I wasn't big on rule breaking, and this was a major rule breaking. I always thought rules where there to control us, and a society without lose wouldn't work. I can't even lie. So to hear that they were planning to use spells they didn't even know how they worked was making me fidgety and panic. How can they even think about doing something like that?
'You do realise using these spells can get you in serious troubles. I mean first of all, you be expelled and second you might go to Azkaban' I said, trying to get the message across of what I thought without sounding to persuasive, but even I could hear how mommy like the words came out.
'Don't worry your sweet head about it love' Sirius said, and automatically I started to blush again. It drove me so mad, why did he insist on calling me that when he knew in the end I Iooked as red a the colours on my uniform. And why did he think he could being of the hook by calling me love.
'It's not like none of us is ending up in Azkaban' James said and smiled. I didn't say anything though I just walked back to Lily who was still giving Alice a whole speech about being happy with her body.
I had never got that about love. That somehow mysteriously a shining knight would appear and you live happily ever after. Maybe I had read to much novels so that I didn't believe what it said anymore, maybe I was totally in denial I actually believed it or maybe I was just a pathetic cynical little girl. All I knew was that every time I saw Sirius with his pick of the week girl it drove me mad.
I was standing, glancing at the sky. The stars shine in the darkness. It wasn't very late, most people were eating in the Great Hall. I had just decided to gaze into the darkness. I was starting to feel the wind blowing in my face. I was all alone. I liked being alone, the silence and being able to just think without hearing anybody's voice or being crammed by people then all I can think about how annoying that is.
I suddenly saw something lurking my way, something quite small and furry…Mrs McGonagall? As it got closer and closer I saw that it wasn't something human. My body tightened it was some sort of animal, and you never knew what sort you might end up meeting here with Hagrid as game keeper. My hands gripped the grass, I don't know why I did that it was just a reflection. As the animal came closer and closer I saw the most adorable dog I've ever seen. It was quite big and black. It caught my eyes, I thought it was going to run away but instead it gave me a…grin? If that was possible. It ran towards me, and I started to panic. Was this dog going to attack me? I remembered a story my dad used to tell me to scare me up when I was small about how he gotten a big chunk of thigh off by a dog attacking me. It took two years before my mum finally convinced me he was just making stuff up. I didn't know what to expect but it was certainty not the dog standing on it's too feet and kissing me on the nose. I laughed and gently pushed the dog away.
'You silly dog' I said teasingly. The dog put it's head on my thighs. I petted it in the ears, it went ecstatic and started to roll around for several minutes on the ground until it started to turn on to it's back, showing it wanted me to pet it on it's stomach as it barked a bit.
'And what makes you think I will pet you " I said, giving the dog a fake hard stare. The dog, on it's back looked at me with puppy eyes. How in the name of merlin can a dog look so cute.
'Just because you're so irresistible bet you know that too' I said in a jokingly voice. The dog barfed happily and I started to pet its stomach. I've never seen a dog get so happy, after a while my hand could dam.
'Sorry, no more petting for you darling' I said and leaned back on to the ground. The dog turned changed its position and now placed the head on my stomach.
'You really can't get enough of me, can you?' I said. I decided I wanted to give the dog a name.
'Are you a…Cookie?' I asked, the dog immediately made a angry barf, I took that as a no.
'Star?' I asked unsure the bark that followed was even more angry and the dog jumped up from my stomach and rolled around.
'Apple!" I happily exclaimed as the dog looked even more frustrated.
'Tinkerbell. Yes, Tinkerbell it's' I said and the dog didn't even try to protest, it just kind looked as though something had been lost. The dog went back to having it's head on my stomach.
'It's got to be so easy being a dog. Not any complications, you can just be' I said dreamy and looked at the dog.
'Oh my merlin, I'm speaking to a dog. How low and sad can a person get' I said infuriated at myself. My stomach started to ache, I hadn't eaten since lunch and I decided that I should go back to the castle. I got up, and I looked at the dog. I gave it a last petting behind the ears. My body stiffened when I meet the eyes of Tinkerbell, it was the exact same colour of grey as Sirius. I felt something in my hair, I looked up. It had started to snow.
I walked in the darkness back to the castle, leaving the dog for herself there. I felt really bad for Tinkerbell but my stomach told me to go back. It was the most amazing thing when you went in to the castle from outside because it just felt so warm, so light and comfortable. I went in to the Great Hall and there were many people still left eating at their house tables. I sat down at the Gryffindor one next to Dorcas. I was just starting to eat, putting the fork with the meat in my mouth when James and Remus came.
'Have any of you seen Sirius?" Remus asked
"No" Mary replied
"I haven't seen him during the dinner" Alice said. At that moment Sirius walked in through the doors to the hall. And what's more was that he apparently also had been out since he was covered in snow.
The weather had made students more anxious in the lesson, they wanted to go out and mess around in the snow. The teacher started to get inpatient of student's having no concentration in class when there was just a couple month left of school. It was getting really cold to walk around in the castle in just school uniform.
I sat in the library studying with Remus, usually it was he who helped me but now it was Arithmancywhich was my strongest subject.
'So, if you do that then you'll see that it equals 10' I explained to him.
'Thank you Becky' He said
'No problems' I said and smiled.
'Hey, do you know what Sirius, James and Peter is up to?' I asked. I had been starting to worry these last days because every time I saw them they were hiding behind that potions books and I knew they were planning something big. Big which meant something very mischievous and could get them in loads of trouble.
'What do you mean?' Remus asked.
'What I mean is that they're planning something in the way they're now chatting each other in the corners' I said firm. Remus looked both relived and angry at this.
'I'm sure it's nothing big' He said but something in his voice told me he wasn't sure.
'They have been using Snape's book' I said, mostly to my self but Remus heard this.
'The potion book? Uhm, I need to go see you Becky' He said in a hurry and picked up his bag and left. I had no clue what had just happened. Had I said something? I didn't like when people just hastily disappeared. I was just about to continue the homework when Lily sat down in front of me where Remus had sat.
"I think I'm falling in love with James" She said. My jaw fell to the floor.
"ARE YOU JOKING ME?" I screamed, not realising that we were actually in the library. But of course, Mr Harper who was the librarian knew this and went straight to us. He was a old man with grey hair.
'Girls, this is a library. Get out now!" he said strict and none of us dared to complain. When we went out Lily broke out in laughter.
"Th…is i..s. sooooo f…unnnny" She said, not getting any breath
"SO are you and James a couple?" I asked
"That's the funny part. I was just messing, the idea of me falling in love with James is absurd as Dumbledore in a bikini" She said. I was silent for a moment thinking of what she just said. I started to laugh hysterically in the middle of the hall to Lily started to laugh more when she saw me laughing and suddenly we were almost rolling around on the floor.
1) I'm really sorry this wasn't longer but I couldn't think of any scene or words to add. I promise I will make the next one longer
2)Yes, I did rename Sirius to Tinkerbell becuase it was just a opportunity I couldn' t miss
3) Something weird happend so that some of the text is in bold. I didn't do it on purpose xD
And oh, another clearification. I didn't realise I had put two name for Becky's bitchy friend, Helena and Erin the correct one is Erin. I'm sorry with all these double name it was just because I had started to write another story that had that intro and the characters had others name. However I decided not to but I used the scene for this story so that's why ( Thank you James For Me )
That's all, Hope you're all good =)
