Chapter 11: New friends
"Potions was terrible this lesson, Rachel kept giving me superior looks, from last week. Like she is like, queen of the world or somthing." I said to the Marauders at lunch.
"Well, did she get the last jinx in?" James asked.
"Yes... but it was only because i was not paying attention! And because she used one i could not get out of!" I said.
"Alright, sure." James smirked and i threw a noodle at him.
"Who helped you out of the jinx? I should thank them." Sirius said and took a bite out of his noodles. I became nervous.
"You wouldent thank him if he saved my life.." I murmer under my breath.
"What was that?" Remus asked.
"N-nothing." I stammerd.
"Allie? Who helped you?" Sirius asked again.
"It was um.. uh... Serverus.." i trailed off.
"Him?!" James said, disgusted.
"Y-yeah."
"Oh." Was all Sirius said, but he had a annoyed look on his face. I decided to leave it at that. Remus quickly changed the subject.
"Christmas is coming up! It snowed during third lesson." He said hopefully.
"The weather, Moony? Come on you can do better than that!" Sirius said sniggering. Good, he was back to normal.
"It snowed?! Lets go play outside!" James blurted, i had a hard time controlling my laughter. He was like a big two-year-old.
"Okay! Lets go!" Sirius said, i followed the guys outside.
It was a two on two battle. James and Sirius against Remus and Peter. I was in the middle of it.
"I will uh.. read my book." I said happily and watched the fight.
Once in a while i looked up, and watched them play in the new snow. It was funny how they could act like children, when they are all sixteen. Remus was the oldest, Sirius the second oldest, me, then James then Peter. Those four could findthe light in the dakrest situation. I admired them for that. For such a long time i was unhappy. Now, i was happy everyday.
"Look! It's Snape!" Peter chirped. James and Sirius had a wicked grin on thier faces. James fired the first snowball, then many more. Sirius only made him the snowballs, he did not throw them. I guess it was because he had helped me.
"You guys, stop it." I said sternly, James gave me a disgusted look, again, but stopped throwing them. Sirius grabbed my hand.
"Lets go." He said and pulled me forward.
"I'll catch you up, i need to get my bag and stuff. Go on." I said with a wave of my hand. Sirius shrugged and folled the others. I walked over to Snape.
"Sorry about them." I said with a sheepish smile.
"It's okay. I'm used to it by now. But you wait, i'll get them back." He said and glanced over my shoulder. Then looked at me.
"How do you hangout with them?" He asked, i laughed.
"Honestly, sometimes Remus seems like the only one whos not mad."
To my suprise, he laughed too
"Yeah, Lupin seems like the only sane one." He said, then became serious again.
" But i can't help but love them." I sighed. He would not know how true that was.
"Why?" He said, a bit of iggnorance in his voice.
"The Potters are my family, most of mine is gone. But the Potters were more my family then my last one.." I said.
"Oh." He said and sat down, i sat infront of him.
"My mother and father both died, part of the reason i'm here." I shrugged.
"I get it." He said quietly, i looked up.
"What do you mean?"
"My parents..well.. mostly my father.. and i don't get along. My mother and father always fight." He said, looking down. I always thought Severus was blocked, not open.
"All you have to do is ask them to stop. See the logical answer to thier problem and tell them it." I said simply. He looked up.
"It's not as easy as you think." He spat, i took no offend to this, more like pity or understanding. "I know."

In Defense Against the Dark Arts, i passed notes to Serverus, he explsined some fo the vampire terms that i did not understand. He knew a lot about the Dark Arts. It scared me a little bit.
No, Vampires are pale and cold, and atrract you to them. The die-in-sunlight thing is a myth.
Oh, okay. Thanks Severus.
I started taking notes and looking through my textbook, when andother note hit me.
Who else are talking too? - Mr. Padfoot.
No one, and since when where you mr padfoot? -Allie
Since Padfoot was my name. And i am a MR.- Mr Padfoot.
Yeah, and I'm Mr Prongs- Mr Prongs
Okay.. That makes me Mr. Moony- Remus
Ahh! Moony you ruined the pattern- Allie
By the way, don't you have a date with Mrs. Moony today?- Mr prongs
Her name is Mary, not Mrs Moony. And yes i do.-Mr Moony
Awww what are you two doing?-Mr Wormtail
Working on homework- Mr Moony
You suck at dates- Mr Prongs
Yeah! I am the master at dates- Mr Padfoot
Yeah, right!- Mr wormtail
Am too! Even ask Allie- Mr Padfoot
Yeah! Mrs Padfoot!- Mr Prongs
Sirius is good on dates.- Ms ALLISON
If Marys name is Mrs Moony, Allie's Mrs Padfoot!- Mr Moony
My name is Allison F.
I stopped writing in the note, to pay more attention to Snapes. He was helping me out and i needed to pay attention.
You, Potter and Black were talking about me, werent you?
No.
Yeah, right.
Am not! If you must know, we were discussing how we now call Mary Mrs Moony.
Really? Haha Mary Moony..
Yes, Severus.
Why do they even have those nicknames?
No idea.
I could not tell Severus about Moonys furry little problem.
Oh. Why do they say Mrs Padfoot, is that not Blacks name?
Yeah, it is.
You like him?
He's.. my boyfriend.
Oh. How could you go out with HIM? I mean, you are actually mature, and know right from wrong. Or so ive guessed. Black seems too childish.
Well, i like him.
Okay.
So, the sunlight is just a myth? The vampires would not die in sunlight?
Yes.
Thanks, Severus. Wow your name is long, just call me Allie, k?
Sure, in that case, you can call me Sev. It's what my...uh... friends call me.
Sev? Sure, no problem. Much Better. Your name is also long to write.
Yeah, it is. I prefer to write Allie than Allison too.
Good. As long as you don't call me Mrs Padfoot or Mrs Black.
Wouldent dream of it.
Good. Mrs Black sounds like Sirius' mother.
Okay.
Professer Fiddler looks wierd today. Like he looks sick. I know he is usually pale skinned, but he looks worse.
Yes, he does. Maybe he is sick.
I don't know. Well hopefully, he is only sick. We might get a substitute, that would be insteresting.
Yeah, i heard this woman, Dolores Umbrige, is a new substitute, apparently she is awful and loaths part-humans.
Yes! I had her for Charms once last year! I personally would dive into the lake, collect a merperson, and bring it up to her just to see her toad-like face!
Does she really look like a toad?
Incredibly so.
I see.
Lesson's almost over, talk to you later.
I looked over and saw him crumple the note. I glance at Remus, hes taking notes. James, staring at Lily. Wormtail, looking confused. Sirius, glaring at Sev.
"What are you passing notes to Snivillus for?" Sirius asked me, putting extra venom on Snivillus and taking my hand in the hallway.
"Just asking him something about vampires. He knows a lot about the dark arts." I reply lightly.
"Yeah, i know. In first year, he knew more about the dark arts than the seventh years." He said, then glanced over his shoulder.
"Really?"
"Yes."
We walked slowly, hand-in-hand down the corridor to the Great hall.
"So, Christmas is coming up..." I hint, then playfully catch his eye.
"iT is..." He says and grins. "What do you want for Christmas?"
"I was going to ask you the same thing."
"Well, i personally would like word peace, for everyone to recycle and to get the privilage to teach others to read!" He says in a false-cheery voice. I laugh.
"Honestly, what would you like?" I say.
"For you to not get mad at me if i get you the wrong present." He says playfully. I roll my eyes.
"I will suprise you then."
"What would you like? Jewelary?" He says, when we sit down with Remus.
"No idea. You don't have to buy me anything. This necklace must have cost a fortune." I said and glanced at the diamond-crested locket around my neck. Inside was a picture of me and Sirius cuddling, taken last term by Mary. Sirius gave it back to me when we went to the mountian ledge a couple weeks ago.
"I have lots of money to spend. And it was for your birthday!" He said. Remus' nose was in a book. I bent my head to read the title.
"Why are you studying? Arithmacy, Moony? Don't you get enough of that rubbish during the lesson?" I asked.
"Whats wrong with Arithmacy?" He asks innocently.
"Everything." I say, and help myself to some eggsalad sandwiches.
This is chpt 10. I thought it was not one of my best chapters, but i needed somthing to keep things moving along.
