Chapter 9
Abi Evans Pov
Several days past and it all seemed the same structure: school, homework, drawing, learning how to fly a broom, and etc.
Sirius taught me how to fly a broom and explained all of Quidditch to me. I figured out that the team relied on me to catch the snitch so we get 150 points total added to our score. It's most likely whoever catches the snitch wins. No pressure to me.
Actually a few sessions training with Sirius helped a lot. He threw a lot of golf balls at me so I could get fast reflexes. Surprisingly, I caught them all.
He also helped me make the unbreakable vow with Cissy. She agreed that whatever went between us stayed between us and I agreed that I'll help her get Lucius Malfoy to notice her and somehow try to convince him to love her. Sirius was the one who connected our wands together and created the promise between us.
I've also gotten to know Frank and Xeno better. Frank came and found me the other day for the broom issue. I apologized and struck up a conversation with him and slyly mentioned Alice's name in it. I saw the faintest blush on his cheeks, and he showed hesitation. It totally meant he liked her.
Xeno was interesting case. I ran into him in the library. I sat down and pretended that I needed help with Care for Magical Creatures class. He helped me of course, and I learned fully about nargles and crumpled snorkacks's and wrackspurts. I relayed all the information to Reyne so she could make casual conversations to him about those creatures.
Today was Sunday, so tomorrow we started the second week of school. I had finished all my homework for the weekend. Meanwhile Sirius and the other Marauders…
"Dame, please help me." Sirius begged me. He's been doing that for the last half an hour. Remus was almost done with his homework since he got a head start on Friday.
I was munching an apple and said, "No thanks, but thanks for the offer though." I told him politely.
I watched him amusedly as he scribbled random nonsense for our History Essay. Remus had just finished all his homework. Peter and James were working on Transfiguration together. Well, James was doing all the work and Peter was copying. Boys.
I shook my head and got up to find Narcissa. Sirius wasn't going to finish that soon and plus I wanted a girl opinion on things.
I found her in the same spot in the library as couple days before. She glanced around wearily, then motioned for me to come over.
I smiled and looked curiously at what she was reading. No way.
"You're reading Pride and Prejudice!" I exclaimed at her, then covered my mouth, forgetting where I was, naturally.
Narcissa looked fearfully for someone to check up on us, but no one did. She considerably relaxed and responded, "Yup, found it in the Muggle section, and it's really good. It's hitting my favorite romance novel."
I smiled, Cissy was really starting to love Muggle literature and she became nicer too in the process.
"Hey Cissy, I know that there's certain rules that pureblood girls and women have to follow. I think I need to visit your Aunt and convince her that I'm perfect for Sirius. But I have no clue about the rules of the social class. Can you help me please?" I threw the puppy dogs eyes at Cissy so she would comply.
She looked a bit shocked at me and said, "You know…with your eyes, Sirius would do anything for you. Anyways, back on topic. Yes, I will help you. But we have to use a place where we can practice privately and no one can know about this."
I knew that. Everyone would turn against Cissy if anyone found out about our friendship.
"Honestly Cissy, I'm hanging out with the Marauders now; I know a place that fits that description. Tell me when you're ready to start." I told her nonchalantly. I didn't want to sound like a bitch saying that, but the info is true. I really knew almost all the secrets of the Marauders, considering I had only known them for a short amount of time.
However, Cissy didn't take offense to my words. She maybe didn't even realize it. Oh well, I don't know.
Cissy got up and said, "Tell me where to go and I'll go there. You come a bit later so no one would be suspicious."
"Well, it's hard to explain how to activate the room and it might sound stupid to you, but go to the 7th corridor and opposite of the portrait that… Then, you have to pass the opposite of it three times in that corridor and think I need a room to practice manners in, then a door will appear, and you can go through." I told Cissy.
Cissy stared questioningly at me and then said, "I'm pretty sure you're not crazy so I'll do it. What time do you want me to be there?"
"8ish, so I can get Sirius to come with me" I told her without blushing. I wonder how purebloods courted in society.
Cissy smiled evilly at me and said, "Of course you need Sirius, 8 it is then." With that, she left with her things and made me think. I wonder what that my Slytherin friend is planning now.
I was bored so I went back to the Gryffindor Common Room with my color pencils and sat at a table by myself. Sirius was still trying to finish his history essay even though I had been gone for about 30 minutes maybe even 45. He startled me when I was trying to draw a penguin perfectly.
"Hey Dame," he told me.
I literally jumped out of my chair and fell to the floor. Sirius seemed to remember I fall easily.
He chuckled and held out his hand to me. Since my character is a very curious character, once I grabbed his hand, I pulled him down with me to see if I could bring him down. I succeeded beautifully
He landed on the ground with a thud and started laughing at my antics. Seeing he wasn't mad, I started giggling at him. He looked hilarious when he fell on the floor.
He scooted over to me and pulled me into his arms. It was a nice and content feeling that I hadn't felt in a long time. We sat like that for a few moments until a certain James and Lily showed up.
"Hey Padfoot I need your help in…oh never mind then. Enjoying yourself Dame?" James teased me.
I turned red a bit and retorted back, "You wish it was Lily and you don't you."
Lily, obviously hearing her name came over when James said, "I'll prove it to you that Lily can sit with me." With that he grabbed Lily and they both landed on the floor with a thud. I snuggled a bit into Sirius since we would be here for a while.
"JAMES IGNOTUS POTTER WHAT IN THE NAME OF MERLIN!" Lily yelled at James. Yup we would be here for a long time.
He looked a bit afraid and turned towards me for comfort. I stuck my tongue out at him and gave him a thumbs-up. No way would I help James in this situation. Nada.
James starts stuttering something, but I only really was taking in the scene. It really looked like a lover's spat with one another. If I hadn't known better, I would have said they both liked it.
Sirius started playing with my dark curly hair and he whispered to me, "My Mum will probably want to meet you over winter break. What do you say?" his hot breath breathing in my ear. I shivered in pleasure before I realized I had given a response I shouldn't have done yet. He looked at me surprised, but smirking all the same, knowing he could get a reaction out of me.
I blushed faintly and responded, "Cissy should have taught me some things by then so yeah sure. How is your family? Will they really hate me?
He looked grim for a moment before responding, "No, once they know your status, they will not hate you, plus they'll forgive Lily for being a half-blood because her father forgot his memory and could do nothing about it. It's safe for you. If Cissy can teach you everything, you shall be fine."
I nodded slowly. I better work hard because I did want Sirius and I to have a much peaceful life as we possibly can.
I glanced at the clock on my hand and it said 6:30. We had a half an hour till dinner.
I suddenly remembered that I needed to bring Sirius along tonight. I twisted in his lap to face his gorgeous face and asked him, "Sirius, Cissy said she needed you tonight at 8 to help me with the proper etiquette so will you come?" I tried using my big eyes on him and said, "Pretty, pretty please."
Sirius was breathless and he fell to my charms immediately and said, "Whatever you need love."
So Cissy was right, he would do anything for me. Wait love?
I looked questioningly at him till he realized his mistake and started stammering, "W…We…Well,…it…ju…just…sli….slipp….slipped…out…b…by…a…acc….acci…de..nt." He started looking fearfully at me.
I rolled my eyes at him and said, "You've never called me that before, so I was curious."
He let out a relieved sigh and encircled his arms around my waist once again to pull me closer. I snuggled into him, throwing my arms around his neck, just sitting there and being happy. We had our moment of peace when the rest of the world was in chaos.
REVIEW! PLEASE! IT'LL MAKE ME UPDATE FASTER!
I also forgot but here we go, I want to ask people on ideas for pranks for the Marauders to do, if you have any you want to contribute go ahead and I will absolutely incorporate it in here
