Chapter 26: Caught,Cows and transfiguration.
"Fererra, Black, come with me." She said sternly. We reluctanly follwed her into the Entrance hall, on the way to Dumbledores office. She spent no time wasting on lecutreing us on how disspoineted she was in us, how we shamed Gryffindor. I felt so bad, i knew something would go wrong. Sirius had to feel the wrath too, but i would set things strait in Dumbledores office.
"Sit." He said smiply, as we stepped in. The hard wood chairs were uncomfortable. He turned to us looking somber.
"Why, may i ask, did you have a bag of thirty eight muggle cigarettes?" He asked lightly.
"Please, professer, Sirius had nothing to do with this, I bought them, they are mine and i pay full responseability." I said, although my voice was a bit high and cracky from recent balling.
"Very well, Sirius, you may leave." Dumbledore said. He glanced at me, worried and left with a nod. When he shut the door, i was turned too.
"Now, i trust from recent events, you know the conseqences from these things?" Dumbledore asked. I nodded.
"Is there a certain reason why you began with them?" He asked lightly, waving to the bag, i nodded.
"Is there something you want to tell me?" He asked. Something about his twinlking blue eyes told me i could trust him, without judgement.
"Yes, sir." I began. He nodded for me to continue. I told him about all my worries, well most of them. How Marys death and Remus short depression took a toll on me. I told him the effect of these, and he merely nodded and understood. I told him about Jason, and my powers. I told him about surgery ( i did not tell him about the animagi potion) and i told him about Addan. All about him.
"Addan will pay his consqeuences." He merely said. I grunted and continued. But, i did not tell him my feeling for Sirius. Somethings i need to keep secert.
"Being a teenager in times like these is very hard, but you must keep strong. There is no need to resort to things like these." He said, waving to the bag. "Now, since i beleive you have had your lesson and that your recond is resonably clean, a simple week of detentions is in order, and i will dispose of the muggle-cigarettes. You may leave, i beleive Mr Potter would like the speak to you." Dumbledore said with a smile. I nodded and left. I closed the door quietly behind me. The mascara was seeping down my cheeks from crying I did not bother to wipe it earlier. The staircase reached the bottom and i steped out. Sirius was there, sitting beside the gargoyle.
"You were in there a long time. Allie, whats wrong?" He said and stood, he was a good head taller then me, and he wiped the tears from my cheeks.
"I just have a week of detentions." I said and smiled a watery smile. Not fake, like the ones i used in the past months, but a real one. One of joy. Just from seeing him there waiting for me.
Sirius hugged me close, so close i could hear the beating of his heart.
"I was so worried. I have something to discuss with you though.." He said cautionsly as we made our way back to the common room.
"Yeah?"
"I... i just wondered when this all happened. Or, why did you do this when we split? Why did we split?" He asked. This was going to the wrong direction.
"Umm..." I said, i really did not want to talk about this. We got into the common room and sat on chairs. I just couldent discuss this with him right now.
"Sirius, i think i should keep this to myself." I said quietly.
"Why? I think this is my buissness." He said, placing his hand on mine, but he stiffened. He was not getting his way easily, he was a bit of a baby when it came to that. He obviously really wanted to know. My stomache flutterd, but i quickly removed my hand from under his. I had to change the topic. "I want you back, friend or more." He said. This scared me, next time we split up it was terrible. If it happened again, i don't know if i could withstand it. I had to get him off my back, i knew how to do it... but it would rip his heart out.
"Excuse me, got to go find Addan." I said as polietly as i could and stepped towards the potrait hole. He stood infront of me.
"No, i dont want you ever to be near him again." He said firmly. Hatred etched in his features at the very thought of me going back to him.
"Sirius, let me go! I need to buy more...things off him! And... i want too see him!" I lied, pushing Sirius out of my way. He looked at me stunned. Then he started to talk very loudly. Not yet shouting but not keeping it quiet etheir. "Allison! What the hell? You just told me how much you hate him, how much you depise those muggle-smokes! How much you despise yourself!" He shouted for all the common room to hear. I turned around, glaring.
"I can not beleive you!" I hissed. He just told the common room basically my whole amount of secrets, or what i think about myself. and i just warmed up to him too. I dashed up to the dormitories and got into pjamas. I cried myself to sleep that night. I know im such a crybaby, but why does this always happen to me? It was such a horrible day.

The next week was probably the most lonley and despressing week of my life so far. I was almost completely alone.
Since i hit James, he has not talked to me. Sirius said something once in a while, but i merely replied with a small hi. Lily tried to talk to me but i did not respond too much. I sat alone at the end of the table at meals, and worked alone in class. I spent my free time by myself, doing homework or walking through the grounds of the castle. This depression took over my addiction to muggle-smokes. I havent been up to even getting them. Besides, i had little money on me to buy more.
"Allison." A voice said briskly, coming behind me as i was leaving Transfiguration.
Its was McGonagal.
"Yes?" I said wairily.
"You are currently getting below average in transifugration! You used to be far above it! So, i have set up with a tutor." She said.
"Who?' I said, bored.
"Ethier Sirius Black or James Potter. Both are expetionally well in the subject." She said.
James...or Sirius? No way. No way no way!
"Anyone else, please professor!" I pleaded. She looked at me sternly.
"They both have top marks. I beleive you would perfer them to a student in Slytherin?" She said, as if reading my mind.
Now, James has not said a word to me at all in a week. He might just torture me the whole time. Sirius, on the other hand, i made some progress with. He at least spoke a few words to me in the last week...He even said sorry the other day.
"Are you sure...what about Remus?" I asked hopefully. She shook her head. "Potter and Black have higher marks in the subject, Ms. Fererra." She said simply. I made my decision.
"Sirius then, proffessor. Thank-you." I said wairly. What a fun time this would be.
"Okay. First remidal session will be in my classroom after dinner on Tuesdays." She said brisky and walked away. What fun. Tommorow was Tuesday. I currently just fineshed Tranfiguration and was walking down the halls towards lunch. I sat at the table by myself, again. Today, we were having grilled-cheese sandwhiches and tomato soup. I skipped the soup. I quietly ate; i saw McGonagal talking to Sirius. He did not seem to angry or anything, just acepting.
[Sirius POV]
"Aww Minnie, don't you think that detention for that prank on the Slytherins should be canclled, due to my teaching?" I asked as nicely and sweetly as i could. She gave me a puzzled sort of look, and walked away briskly.
"Is that a yes?" I called after her, no answer. I shrugged and walked to the table.
"Wormtail! You spilt juice all over the table!" Prongs hissed and Wormtail cowerd. Moony rolled his eyes.
I glanced down the table, and saw Allie eating by herself. She looked so lonely, Lily has not even talked to her in a while, from what i heard, they had a bit of a spat. Come to think of it, the last time we talked, she was just warming up to me again then jumped away. I can not beleive that she would even THINK of going near that rapeist again. Maybe i can fix things while i tutor her in Transifureation.
"Hey guys, guess who i am tutoring in Transfiguration?" I said, taking a bite out of my grilled-cheese.
"Wormtail?" James joked. I snorted and tried to answer. " O' Awie"
"Padfoot, chew your food first." Moony lectured.
"No, Allie! Apparently her work is under average all of a sudden."
"I thought she was one of the top of the class." Moony said thoughtfully, i glanced down the table.
"Obviously there is something wrong with her. I think she's lonely. Look at her!" I pointed to her down the other end of the table. She had her head bowed, and ate her sandwhich silently. Once in a while taking a sip of her juice. She never strutted anymore, she also never was enthusiastic. I saw her trying out her patronus in the common room, barely a whisp of smoke.
"I think she misses her friends." Moony said, then looked ponitedly at James.
"What?" Prongs said bluntly.
"James.." Moony said.
"She hit me! Across the face!" He said.
"Prongs, mate, you deserved that one. Thats what you get calling a girl a whore,slut, and many other names. You are so lucky it was just a slap. Ive delt with much worse..." I said shrugging. It was true.
"Still, she hit me!" Prongs whined, but he gave me a look that plainly said 'i deserved it'.

[Sirius POV}
Dinner was going to be quite an affair tonight!
"There he is!" James whipserd to me. We just saw Addan walk past, we were hiddin behind the dorway of a secret passage. As Addan walked past, we follwed behind him. I grabbed a small pill out of my pocket, and held it in my hand. When James and i walked into the Great Hall and sat down at the end of the table, close to the Hufflepuff table. James smiled at me and handed him the pill.
"Nice and easy..." He mutterd, as he was using a banhishing charm to get the pill into Addans food. When it was in, James and i just waitied.
"This should get him, Padfoot." James laughed.
"Sure will, Prongs." I watched at Addan picked up his food and started at his meatballs, Prongs and I had identical evil grins.
Addan ate his meatball, then coughed and sputterd, grasping at his throat. Then out of no where......
BAM
Addan was no longer a human person, but a great cow! He was standing by the table, utterly confused. By the way, he looked hidious! He had no idea what happened, but Dumbledore and McGonagal looked right at Prongs and I. We laughed hysterically with the rest of the other houses, Gryffindor laughing the hardest. The best part was, that he could not remove the spell! Only McGonagal could. But she had to find thr right spell. He was like that all day, and the next morning. We still had lots more pranks in mind for him, all just waiting to be produced.
Thats what he gets messing with our girl, the filthy bastard.
Okay, so i think the prank could have been better, but i had a brain fart. Im starting the next fic right now, so i might be a little busyy. Updates most likely will be more spaced out. i have a surpise for you all next chapter, i think you will like it! Ive been wating for it for a long time and here it is!
