A/N: I am SOOOO sorry i haven't updated in like a month! i had GCSE's to sit & i've just been really stressed and i completly forgot! Sorry! Hope you like it :)
I've been at Hogwarts for a little over a month now, and I can honestly say, I have never felt more at home anywhere - well maybe except from the Burrow - I've been getting along with Sirius a lot better, since I gave up that slutty act, it caused too many arguments with James & honestly, I think I knew it would never work, it just caused Sirius to be more distant. So I've decided to just be myself around him now, if he doesn't like me as myself then he doesn't deserve me at all. Lily and Alice are like sisters to me now, we are really close, and me & Alice have thought of a way to get Lily & James together - Lily always denies she likes him, but we can both see right through her - anyway, this is what we planned,
* FLASHBACK*
Lily & James have just had another argument, something James said about Snape again, when will that boy learn? Lily stormed out of the common room, leaving me & Alice with the James & Sirius - Remus wasn't there, it was full moon last night.
"Well done James" I laughed
"Shut up Gin"
"Should we go looking for her?" I asked Alice
"No, you should be used to it by now, she'll be back when she's ready. But come upstairs a minute Ginny, we need to talk"
Oh, no. Did I do something wrong? "Okay. See you later guys"
"Bye!" the boys answered in unison.
I walked up to our room and found Alice sitting on her bed crying with laughter,
"What are you laughing about? I thought I'd done something wrong"
"No! It's just… have you seen the way Lily looks at James? She is completely in love with him"
"I know! I was thinking that! Wait, why's it so funny?
"Because she's always saying how much she hates him, but now I've realised she actually LOVES HIM!"
And now, I started laughing as well,
"Alice, you are a genius! Now what sort of friends would we be if we didn't interfere and get them together?"
"How though?"
"That.. I don't know"
After a couple of minutes silence Alice shouted
"GOT IT!"
"Alice you scared the shit out of me!" I laughed, holding my hand over my heart "What have you 'got' then?"
"Well, you know how protective James gets of you whenever something happens?"
"Yeah, it's quite annoying sometimes really" thinking about when he walked in on me & Sirius asleep & when Remus called me a prostitute - even though Remus was joking.
"Well, he will probably be like that with Lily, so what if one of us have an argument with her, then when she gets upset, James will be there to comfort her, and she'll realise he's not such a 'self-centred prat' and hopefully they will get together"
"Could work, but I can't argue with her because James will probably side with me, you know, with me being his sister and all"
"I'll do it, give me a few weeks to get the argument right, and then before you know it James & Lily will be together"
Hopefully…
*END OF FLASHBACK*
So, in the common room after lessons, Alice & Lily will be having an argument and Lily & James will be together, I hope.
"GINNY! GET UP!" Alice shouted
"Why are you shouting?" I mumbled
"Because we are half an hour late to Defence against the Dark Arts!"
"Oh shit!" I sat up and noticed Lily's bed was empty, "Why didn't she wake us up?"
"No idea. But least it's given us another reason for the fake argument"
"Yeah, have you been in the bathroom yet?" I asked Alice
Alice shook her head
"Alright, I'll go use James' one"
I walked in to find all of the boys still in bed… typical. I walked over to James bed,
"James, you need to get up now" I whispered
"Five more minutes" he mumbled
Okay then. Lets try Sirius… I walked up to his bed,
"Sirius, time to get up" I whispered… again.
"Leave me alone Kreacher" he mumbled, I do not sound like that house elf!
"Up. Now!"
"Fuck off"
Fine. Remus will get up.
"Remus, you have to get up now"
He sat up, "Ginny? What are you doing in here?"
Finally someone will actually listen!
"It's 9:30, and Lily didn't wake me and Alice up so I came in to use your bathroom, but you guys are still asleep, late night?" I asked
"Yeah, don't ask" he laughed
"Weren't planning on it, how do you get these guys up in the morning?"
"I usually chuck water over them"
"I have a better idea" He looked at me in confusion, and I turned to face Sirius' bed
"SIRIUS ORION BLACK! UP NOW!" hopefully a good imitation of his mother's voice
He shot up "COMING MOTHER!" he shouted.
He looked round confused, then noticed me and Remus, both of us clutching our sides because we were laughing so hard
"You dickheads" he said, before chucking himself back on the bed.
Luckily, this woke James up, "What are you doing in here Gin?"
"Me & Alice are running late and I wanted to use your bathroom, but I can't because your all in here. Oh its 9:30 by the way" I walked into the bathroom, and started to fill up a bucket of water in the bath.
I walked back into the boys dorm, James & Remus now chucking their clothes on
"Not going to have a shower then?" I asked
"Well because you wanted it, we thought we would all come up here during lunch and have showers" James replied
"Oh, alright, thanks"
"What you doing with that bucket?" James asked
I walked up to Sirius' bed and James' eyes widened "No Ginny! He get's so pissed off when that happens"
"Well he should of got up when I woke him up" I said, tipping the contents of the bucket over Sirius' head.
"WHAT THE FUCK?" Sirius bolted up, his hair now dripping with water
"Should of got up when I woke you up, now I'm going to use the shower" I turned to walk away and Sirius ran past me
"No you aren't! you got my hair wet, I'm going to have to wash it now" he's such a girl when it comes too hair.
I started running too, I'm quite fast, and I got into the bathroom a couple of seconds behind Sirius, just before he could shut the door.
"Sirius" he spun round quickly, just noticing I was there "I need to have a shower, so out please"
"Why don't you use your own?" he asked
"Alice is in there. And if you don't go out I will just shower with you in here" If he doesn't leave, I'll just shower with my underwear on.
"You won't and you know it"
"Won't I?" I went to pull off my top, but stopped to see if he was going to leave, but instead he went and sat on the toilet, he's testing me…
So I took my top off, I won't let him win. He's still sitting on the toilet, not going to move. So I took my trousers off to, his eyes widened a bit, he honestly thinks I'm going to get naked in front of him?
I walked up to the shower, turned it on & stepped in.
"Oh, two can play this game Ginny"
I went to ask what he meant, but before I could, he was in the shower too.
"What the hell are you doing? If James walks in he'll kill you!" I whispered, not wanting James to hear us
"Why are you whispering? He won't be able to hear you over the shower, and why will he kill just me?"
"Because I'm his innocent little sister" trying to put on an innocent face & winking at him
"Your about as innocent as Snivellus" he joked
"He doesn't know that though" I winked at him "And also, that's abit harsh. Am I really that bad?" I pouted
"Sometimes" he winked "Anyway, I needed to talk to you"
"And you had to get me in the shower to do that?"
"Well it had to be in private"
"What's wrong with 'Hey Ginny, can I talk to you'?"
"I was going to say that in DA, but then you threw a bucket of water over my head and here we are"
"Oh, well what did you want to talk about?"
"Harry"
"Harry?" I hadn't thought about him for ages
"Yeah, what was he like?"
"I'm not really up for talking about Harry in the shower" I noticed Sirius' face drop "So, how bout I go get dressed and wait in your room for you to finish?"
"Yeah alright"
I got out of the shower, grabbed a towel & ran over to my room.
"Where the hell have you been?" Alice shouted
"The boys were all still in the there so I woke them up and got in the shower"
"And they actually got up?" Alice asked shocked
"Well, no. I had to chuck water over Sirius" I laughed
"But if you get Sirius' hair wet, he has to have a shower."
"Yeah, I know"
"And he actually let you get in before him?"
"No" She's going to work out I had a shower with him… kind of. I could feel myself blushing at what she would say
"So he's had a shower as well? He takes ages in the shower though." She looked up at me and noticed my red face "Ginny! Did you shower with Sirius?"
I already had my clothes on, so I just grabbed my bag and ran out
"I'll just ask him! You know he'll tell me!" Alice shouted behind me
I'd been waiting for Sirius for about ten minutes before he eventually came out
"Alice was right, you do take ages to shower"
"You were talking about me?"
"Maybe. Anyway, what did you want to know about Harry?"
"Everything. What was his Hogwarts life like?"
"Honestly, I know this isn't going to make you feel any better, but he definitely had the worst school life anyone could have"
"Why? Tell me about a few years at least"
"Okay. I don't know much about his first year, I didn't start till he was in his second. But basically, there is a stone called the Philosopher's Stone, it was moved to Hogwarts to keep it safe, there were rumours it was going to be stolen from where it was kept-"
"What does this have to do with Harry?" Sirius asked
"Harry, and his friends, my brother Ron & Hermione, thought that Snape was going to steal it, he's the potions teacher at Hogwarts, they thought he was going to steal it to give to Voldemort. Harry didn't want Voldemort to find it - obviously. So they went after it, they knew where it was hidden so they went to get it. Only it wasn't Snape who was stealing the stone, it was their DA teacher Professor Quirrell, who had Voldemort on the back of his head, hidden under a turban. Don't give me that look Sirius, I know it's disgusting but it's true. Harry ended up with the stone and Voldemort knew he had it, so tried to get Quirrell to get it, but Quirrell died trying - and Harry almost died as well."
"In his first year?" Sirius asked, a look of disbelief on his face
"Yep. And it only gets worse"
"Tell me, please, I want to know what happens to my godson" How did he know he was the godfather?
"How do you know your godfather?"
He smirked at me "I'm James' best friend, obviously I'm godfather"
"Oh, right. Second year then." The year Voldemort possessed me. "Harry got visited by a house elf during the summer holidays with a warning not to go back to school because of danger-"
"A house elf? In a muggle house?"
"Yeah, his name was Dobby, he was the Malfoy's house elf. Anyway, Harry didn't listen to him, he said he had to go back, Dobby did something in the house that caused Harry to be locked in his room for the rest of the summer. Although, a couple of weeks before the end, Fred, George & Ron borrowed my dads flying car and flew to Surrey to save him, he spent the last few weeks at the Burrow - my house. We all went to Kings Cross, but Ron & Harry couldn't get through the barrier, so used the flying car to get to Hogwarts. They found out later that Dobby blocked the barrier to stop Harry from getting to Hogwarts because of the 'danger'. They got to the school and after a couple of weeks, there was writing found on the wall" I shuddered at the memory, not remembering doing this "in blood. It said 'The chamber of secrets has been opened, enemies of the heir beware."
"Chamber of Secrets? Isn't that a myth?"
"No, don't ask questions, it will all make sense at the end. Harry, Ron & Hermione found the writing and next to it was Filch's cat Mrs Norris, she'd been petrified. Harry get hearing voices, and later in front of most of their year, he found out he is a parseltounge. Everyone started believing he was the heir of Slytherin. 3 more people turned up petrified, a boy in my year, a boy in Harry's year, and Hermione. After about a month, another message was found on a wall, again written in blood, this time It said 'her skeleton will lie in the chamber forever"
Sirius gasped "Who was it about?"
He hadn't seemed to notice I was almost crying "Harry & Ron saw the message, and decided to find the chamber, they had learnt something that gave them a clue to where it was, and they found it. Something happened and they got separated, so it was just Harry who found out who the heir of Slytherin was - Voldemort. So for a second time Harry fought Voldemort, and won. This time though, he had to fight the monster the heir controls - a basilisk. Harry killed it, and then destroyed the thing keeping Voldemort alive, he was alive in the form of a memory. From a diary he kept when he was at Hogwarts, Harry stabbed the diary with a Basilisk fang, and Voldemort disappeared. The girl he was planning to kill then woke up, like out of a dream. Voldemort had possessed her, she had wrote the messages on the wall and didn't know, she was the one who told Voldemort all her secrets in that diary.
"Who was the girl?"
I turned to face Sirius, and he noticed me crying "Me. Lucius Malfoy put the diary in my cauldron one day in Diagon Alley. I found it and used to write in it, he used to write back to me. He would listen to everything I wrote about, bullies, everything. He made me feel special. But then, when I woke up one day covered in blood, not knowing where it came from, I was scared so tried to get rid of it. But then Harry found it and I had to get it back. So I did, and Voldemort possessed me again, and I got taken to the chamber to die. I would have died, if Harry hadn't saved me" I wasn't crying anymore, but I couldn't stop myself from shaking, fear the memory brought back, when I would wake up with the blood on my hands not knowing where it came from, when i woke up with feathers all over me from killing the things outside Hagrid's hut, and when Voldemort told me about how to get into the chamber, and how much I really didn't want to open it.
"It's over now Ginny. He can't hurt you"
I smiled at him "You know, that's almost exactly what Harry said when he saved me. Do you want to know about third year?
"Yeah, please"
"Well, you Remus and Wormtail are in this year"
"Me? I thought I was in Azkaban?"
"You escaped remember? Anyway, Remus was the DA teacher and Peter… I'll explain that later. Everyone knew that a 'mass murderer' had escaped but only a few people knew the reason, only it wasn't actually a reason. Some people, who knew you were the secret keeper, believed you escaped from Azkaban to kill Harry. He kept getting warnings to not be on his own and stuff. The Ministry made orders to keep Dementors around Hogwarts, these Dementors affected Harry most, he got attacked by them twice, Dumbledore was furious. Harry got the Marauders map that year. When he was using it, he found someone who was supposed to be dead - Peter Pettigrew"
"But the map never lies!" Sirius said
"Exactly. Remember how I told you that Peter framed you? Well he chopped off a finger and made everyone think that all you left of him was a finger, then he turned himself into a rat, and stayed like that all these years, the rat he turned into was my family rat, Scabbers."
"That's just weird" Sirius said
"Anyway, Harry went to find Peter, but instead ran into Remus, who took the map. He also saw Peter on there, and that was when Remus worked out you was innocent. A few weeks later, Ron got dragged into the whomping willow by a dog, and Harry & Hermione went after him. The dog turned out to be you. Remus turned up and explained everything. Then Harry, Ron and Hermione found out that Pettigrew was in disguise as Ron's rat Scabbers. He'd been in our family for 12 years, which is when the attack happened on Lily & James. You & Remus got Peter out of his Animagus form, Harry believed you all, you offered to look after Harry from then on. But then Remus turned into a werewolf because it was full moon, you turned into a dog and tried to save Harry & the others, Moony then ran into the forest, and Harry ran to find you, who had passed out next to a lake and lots of Dementors were coming, Harry and you fainted because of the Dementors. Then you got locked up and almost got the kiss, but because Hermione had a time turner, she and Harry went back in time & saved your life. You were very quite through that" I turned to look at him and his face had gone pale white "What's wrong?" I asked
"Did Harry ever think I wanted to kill him?"
"I wish I could tell you no, but yes he did. When he found out you was James' best friend. But then you became like a father to him, he cared about you more then anyone else"
Sirius smiled
"So do you want to know about fourth year? Or should we head to the last of our double hour of DA?"
"Fourth year"
"Okay then. This year the triwizard tournament was being held at Hogwarts."
"Wicked" Sirius said
"Not so wicked when you find out the triwizard champions. There were four this year, as someone had cursed the Goblet to let one of them out. There was one Durmstrang champion, Viktor Krum, one Beauxbatons champion, Fleur Delacour, and two Hogwarts champions, Cedric Diggory & Harry"
"But I thought you had to be 17 to compete?"
"You do. But Harry's name had been cursed to come out, and once the name is drawn they have to compete. The first task, was getting a golden egg from somewhere, but a Dragon was guarding it. Harry completed that one fine. The second task, you had to be underwater and something special was taken from you, Viktor's was Hermione - they had a little thing going on while he was there - Fleur's was her sister, Cedric's was a girl named Cho & Harry's was Ron, they had to go underwater for an hour to find them. Harry came up from the water last, but came second as Fleur pulled out and Harry saved two people. The third task, was a big maze, with the trophy hidden in the middle. Only Cedric and Harry got to the trophy, and they touched it together. It was a portkey which led them to a graveyard Harry had been dreaming about for months. When they got there, someone walked out from a distance, a man with a bundle of blankets in his hands, it was Wormtail, with Voldemort in his arms. Wormtail killed Cedric, and trapped Harry on the gravestone of Voldemort's father."
Sirius looked more pissed off then I've ever seen him "He hurt Harry? His best friends son? How the fuck could he?"
"Wormtail then did the ritual to bring Voldemort back to life, back to power like he was before, he had to use Voldemort's fathers bone, he cut of his own hand for a 'servant's sacrifice' and then cut Harry's arm and used Harry's blood"
"Betraying git" Sirius mumbled
"Voldemort was then back to life. He called the Death Eaters. Then he remembered Harry. He wanted Harry to fight him. So he let Harry go, let him get his wand, and then wanted to do a proper duel, he tried to get Harry to bow like they usually do in a wizards duel, but Harry refused, so Voldemort made him, using the Imperious curse. He then used the Cruciatus curse on Harry, and then they did proper magic. There wands connected at one point, and then Harry saw his James, Lily & Cedric. They helped him get away, with Cedric's body. Then he went back to Hogwarts and told everyone Voldemort's back, but nobody believed him, so his 5th year was probably one of his worst as everyone thought he was a liar"
Sirius' face was pale white- obviously from hearing his godson had the Imperious & Cruciatus curse put on him all in the same night - and pissed off "How stupid can people get?"
"It was the Ministry mainly. The Minister - Fudge, refused to believe he was back, Dumbledore got lots of trouble for it to, everyone thought he was mad and Harry an attention seeker."
"Thickheads" Sirius mumbled again
"I know. I don't want to go into too much detail about his 5 & 6th year, but basically he almost gets expelled from Hogwarts because Dementors attacked him where he lived but no one believed him, someone from the ministry came to work as the DA teacher at Hogwarts , Dolores Umbridge, she basically tried to run the school. The Order of Phoenix was reinforced by Dumbledore, Harry found out about it and the fact that Voldemort was looking for something he didn't have before - which was the prophecy which he never heard - Harry kept seeing into Voldemort's mind - as he's a Horcrux but didn't know that yet - then Voldemort found out an planted an image into his head of him torturing you at the place where the prophecy was hidden, as Voldemort knew where it was just not how to get to it. So Harry, Ron, Hermione, Me, Neville Longbottom & Luna Lovegood all went to the ministry and when we got there we found out it was a fake thing, and that you weren't really there. Then Lucius Malfoy & Bellatrix turned up, Lucius asked for the prophecy which Harry had found, he wouldn't give it to them and we all fought them then ran into this other room. Then the Death Eaters found us in there, grabbed everyone except Harry & Lucius said if he didn't give him the prophecy he would kill his friends, so Harry handed it over, then the Order turned up, you & Harry fought Lucius & another Death Eater and then Bellatrix tried to kill you, but Harry pushed you out of the way of the curse just in time, neither of you died which is VERY good"
"Harry saved my life" Sirius said
"He loved you. More then anyone else. You were the father he never got to have"
"He should have had James"
"And he will. That's why I'm here"
"Did you ever like Harry?"
"Of course I liked him! For one he was my brother's best friend and he was really nice & he saved my life"
"No. I mean did you every have a crush on him?"
"Oh." Well this is going to be awkward "Yeah. When I was younger I had a proper crush on him, but I think it was more a crush on the 'famous Harry Potter' and not Harry himself, he wasn't what I expected. Although, we did go out in Harry's sixth year."
"Cool" he sounded disappointed, is he upset about me liking Harry?
"I don't like him in that way anymore"
"Good. I mean, not good. Wait. Fuck it I don't know what I mean"
"Sirius what are you going on about?" I couldn't help laughing at him
"You do realise you went out with your future nephew? That's a bit creepy" he winked at me
"Shh. That's just too weird to think about" I looked across at his clock and saw that it was 10:55 "Oh shit, we're going to be late for Transfiguration" I jumped up and grabbed my bag, but Sirius was still sitting on the bed
"Aren't you coming?" I asked
"Yeah, go ahead. I'll be out in a minute"
"Sirius, how stupid do you think I am?"
"I no your not stupid. I will just meet you there"
"Race me" I said playfully
"What?" he had a confused expression on his face
"Scared you'll lose? Come on, I bet 3 galleons I beat you there"
"Alright then. Let me get my bag and then-"
I never got to hear what he what he was going to say next, as he ran out of the room
"CHEAT!" I shouted after him.
"Ginny, you owe me 3 galleons" Sirius said
Me, Sirius, Remus, & Alice were all in the common room after a very annoying day of school. Me & Sirius didn't turn up to defence against the dark arts, which has got us a letter home - which definitely didn't happen in the future - then we both got a detention from McGonagall for turning up 5 minutes late to Transfiguration & another one for running in the corridors
"You cheated though!" I joked
"Didn't! Your just a slow runner"
"Oh, so I didn't beat you into the bathroom this morning?" I winked at him
"Oh yeah, how did you guys decide who went in the shower?" Remus asked
"I have a feeling Sirius had a fun shower this morning" Alice said
"What did you do?" Remus asked
"Nothing" we both shouted
Remus just looked at both of us suspiciously before turning to talk to Alice about something.
But before he could, James came back in.
"Hey, where have you been?" Sirius called over to him
James walked over and took a seat next to Remus "Detention. And why wasn't you there? We were supposed to go together"
"Oh, sorry. Forgot" Sirius replied, smirking at him.
James looked around "Hey, where's Lily?"
"I think she's with Snape, not sure though." I replied
"I don't know what she sees in that slimy git" James muttered
"James, none of us like him but Lily does. Maybe if you stopped taking the piss out of him in front of her, she might like you" Alice said
James ignored Alice, but looked over towards the common room door "Lily!" he shouted
We all turned round, and saw Lily running in, tears running down her face.
James was the first person to get to her "What happened? What's wrong?"
"Not now Potter" Lily carried on walking.
She nearly got to the stairs when Alice stopped her "Lils, what happened? Come sit down"
She walked Lily over to the seats and Me, James, Sirius & Remus followed
"Sev, he was with Avery & Hawkins - I think that's his name. I told Sev that they are a bad influence & he shouldn't be friends with them. And then he c-called m-me a m-mudblood" Lily said, crying even more as she got to the end
"HE WHAT? I'M GONNA KILL HIM!" James shouted "EVIL, SLIMY GIT!" the rest of his shouts were drowned out as he ran out of the common room.
"No, James! JAMES!" Lily shouted after him, again her shouts drowned out.
Everyone else just sat in silent for a couple of minutes
"Do you think we should go after him?" I asked
"No, he'll hex Snivellus, Lily will defend him, James will get detention, him and Lily will argue. Seen it all before." Sirius answered
"Yeah, but he called her a mudblood, Sirius. She might not defend Snape this time."
"She called him James" Alice mumbled
"That's what you got from that?" Sirius laughed
"Don't you get it? She called him James! It's always Potter. She was upset, he defended her, she realised he's not just a self centred prat. We were right Ginny, she does love him, she just never wanted to show it" Alice said
"Yeah, we were right" I looked round "Hey, where'd Remus go?"
"He's over there talking to that first year" Sirius pointed over "He looks worried actually, come on lets go over"
We all walked over to Remus and he quickly turned around
"Something's happened to James. He's in the hospital wing & he's unconscious."
The words hit me like a ton of bricks. Getting to the hospital wing was a blur. Sirius & I were running through the corridors - I personally running faster then I ever have before - we were followed by shouts of "What's going on?" "Where's the fire?" "Potter, Black no running in the corridors!" but we ignored them all.
We were at the hospital within minutes, and James was in the bed at the end. Lily, was there, holding James' hand and again crying her eyes out. She turned round when she heard us coming in, she ran up to us
"I-I'm sorry I couldn't stop him. James found Se- Snape straight away and got his wand out, but before he could do anything, Snape hexed him" Lily walked back over to the bed crying again.
"I'm going to kill him" I whispered, tears running down my face "I'M GOING TO KILL HIM!" I turned to run out of the hospital wing again, but Sirius grabbed me round the waist and held me back
"No, Ginny"
"Sirius, let go" but he held on "LET GO!" I turned to face him, and was hitting his chest trying to make him let go, but he wouldn't. After a couple of minutes I gave up, and was crying onto Sirius' shirt. Sometime during all of this, Remus, Alice & Frank also turned up I heard Sirius say hi to them, but I was still hiding in his chest, his arms still round me - and to be honest, right then, I didn't want to be anywhere else.
Alice & Frank left after a while, so it was just Me, Sirius, Lily & Remus sitting round James' bed, he still hadn't woke up. We had all sat in silence for the past 2 hours, one of us would sometimes say 'Does anyone want anything to eat? I'll go down to the kitchens to get something' I think everyone just wanted to go down to the kitchen to be alone.
When I saw James, I knew straight away what spell it was, Harry used it on Draco last year. I haven't told the others this though, I don't know why, I doubt they really want to know anyway.
"I'm going for a walk" Lily muttered, she thinks it's her fault James got hexed, even though we've told her a thousand times it wasn't.
"I'll come" I went to stand up, but Lily shook her head
"I want to be alone. I'm going for a walk then to bed. Come get me if James wakes up"
Then she left. And we was back to the awkward silence from before she spoke.
"Erm… Sorry for hitting you Sirius and… Er… crying on you" I said
"Don't worry, when do you think James will wake up?" Sirius asked
"Soon. I hope. I'm going for a walk too, tell me if James wakes up as well" I said.
"Don't go looking for Snape, Ginny" Sirius said
"Okay" I lied
I walked out of the hospital wing, and straight outside, Spotting Snape immediately. He was with all his friends near the Whomping Willow - are they stupid hanging round near that tree? - as I was walking towards him I saw who else he was with, Bellatrix Black, Lucius Malfoy, Narcissa Black, Regulus Black & Avery. I know it was stupid of me to walk over to them when I was on my own, but I did anyway. Bellatrix was the first to notice me walking towards them
"Oh, long time no see Potter" she said tauntingly
"Piss off, Black" I said the same time as Regulus said "Potter?"
"Yes. I'm a Potter, I was adopted by them and James is my brother" I turned to Snape "And speaking of James" I pulled out my wand and pointed it at Snape "You ever hurt anyone in my family again & I will make you wish you were never born"
"There's no one left in your family to hurt. James is in the hospital and hopefully will never wake up" Snape sneered
"One more threat like that and again, I will make you wish you were never born. And unlike you, family means more than a last name to me. So when I say don't hurt my family I don't just mean James. I mean Remus, Alice, Lily" and looking at Regulus "And Sirius"
Regulus looked up at the mention of his brother, but didn't say anything.
"I don't think you want to be hanging around with blood-traitors like my dear cousin" Bellatrix said mockingly
"He's better then you will ever be. Noble house of Black? Don't make me laugh" I turned to walk away, but before I could, I was punched in the face, knocking me over. I looked up to see who done it, and saw Bellatrix looking down at me. Why didn't she use her wand? I looked round and saw my answer. Regulus had taken it off of her, and if looks could kill, Regulus would be dead a thousand times.
"Resorting to Muggle ways? Won't your family be soo proud"
And this time, I got up and walked away. My nose was bleeding badly, and I think it's broken. Guess I'm going to have to go to the hospital wing. Great, this'll be fun explaining to Sirius.
Unknown POV
I was watching them from a place I knew I wouldn't be seen. James Potter was lying in the bed, still unconscious. And Lupin and Black were sitting in silence. Come on, I need to find something I can use against them. The Dark Lord wants to see them, and they won't come willingly.
"Why did you stop Ginny going after Snape?" Lupin asked
"He'd already attacked James, I don't think I could handle it if he hurt the girl I lo- Ginny too" Black said, suddenly interested in the floor.
Ginny. Potter's sister and the girl Black loves. Perfect. I won't fail the Dark Lord this time. I slipped out of the hospital wing unnoticed & went to tell the others my findings.
Ginny's POV
I was getting funny looks from people as I was walking through the corridors. Honestly, have they never seen anyone with a broken nose before?
I got to the hospital wing to find James had woke up. I ran over to him
"Are you alright?" I asked "I honestly want to kill that bastard right now"
"Been better. What happened to your face?" he looked up at me with concern
"Oh, nothing. Don't worry about me. Lily told me to get her when you wake up so I think I'll go and get her" I said
Remus stood up though, "No, it's alright, you get your nose sorted I'll go and get Lily"
"Oh, okay"
I went to go and get Madam Pomfrey to sort out my nose, when Sirius walked over to me with a wet towel in his hand
"Sit down" he said
I went and sat on the edge of the bed next to James'. Sirius put the towel against my nose, and I had to struggle not to flinch.
"What happened then, Gin?" James asked
Well, they're probably going to found out sooner or later, might as well tell them now.
"I went outside for a walk, and noticed Snape & some others out there so I went up to them-"
"Ginny I told you to stay away" Sirius asked
"Who were the others? And what did you say?" James asked
"There was Snape, Avery, Lucius, Narcissa, Bellatrix & Regulus" Sirius stiffened at the mention of his cousin & brother's name "I walked up to Snape and told him that if he hurt any of my family again I would make him wish he was never born" James & Sirius laughed a little at this "Then he said that there's only one person in my family and that he's already hurt. So I told him that family means more then a last name and that my family's also Remus, Lily, Alice & Sirius. Then Bellatrix told me that I shouldn't hang round with blood-traitors like Sirius" James' eyes darkened at this, and he went to say something but I beat him to it "So I told her that he's better then she will ever be"
"Thanks" Sirius murmured
"And then I said, 'Noble House of Black, don't make me laugh'"
"Oh you pushed it there" Sirius joked
"I turned to walk away, then Bellatrix punched me"
"She punched you?" James asked
"She was going to hex me I think, but someone took her wand off her"
"Who?" Sirius asked
"Regulus." Again, Sirius stiffened. "I would probably be lying in this bed if it wasn't for him"
"Regulus helped you?" James asked
"Yeah. And once my nose is fixed, I'm going to go and thank him"
"I don't want you hanging round with him Gin. He's a Death Eater." Sirius said
"Yeah, but that doesn't mean he wants to be.
"James! God James I'm so sorry it's all my fault!"
We all turned to see Lily running through the hospital doorss
I quickly turned to James "Oh, by the way, she loves you back"
The look on James' face had Sirius & I laughing so much, I think I could see tears in his eyes.
A/N: I know in the actual books, Bellatrix, Lucius & Narcissa were older then Snape & the Marauders, but I decided to keep them in for something I'm planning further on in the story. In the part where Ginny gets punched I don't know if the 'If looks could kill Regulus would be dead a thousand times' makes sense, but it's something my cousin told me to write in, sorry if it doesn't! :) so i hope you like it! And i wonder who the mysterious man is? ;) Thanks for reading & please review! i will try and update asap! :)
