A Trip to the Past
Disclaimer: I only own my characters and my plot. J.K Rowling owns everything else. Sorry for any mistakes I miss.
The morning we were going to Hogwarts I was only up with my parents. I had done my usual morning routine and added everything I needed to my trunk after my shower. I had dressed in my Led Zeppelin shirt and a black skirt. I had my curls loose and I was hymning Stairway to Heaven. I had packed my records, record player, and camera so I wouldn't miss home. I was leaving my glass rose home so it wouldn't be broken at school.
I levitated my trunk and Siren's cage downstairs and ate breakfast with Mum and Dad. The boys were still asleep seeing as it was seven in the morning but Mum had other plans for them by the time I finished breakfast. I heard yells coming from rooms when she went to wake them. Dad smiled at me over his paper and set it down.
"I'm coming to see everyone off today, to try to make up for last year."
"Daddy don't try to make up for the past. What is done is done."
"So full of knowledge for a second year. No wonder you were top of your class."
"Daddy I stay in the library and study to get good grades. I have to be good at something."
"You already are. You have been like this since you were eight years old. No changing you and your shyness."
"Daddy can you please tell me about-" I asked while I heard more cries for sleep upstairs.
"No" he said sharply.
"I'm sorry I just need to know."
"I can't yet. Now look who has decided to join her master."
Dad had changed the subject as Siren came into the kitchen. She leaped into my lap and I stroked her beautiful fur gently. She purred like a normal cat and then Mum came downstairs with four dressed but sleepy looking boys. They all looked as if they wanted to crawl back into bed.
After breakfast we loaded our trunks, Siren, Sirius' owl Artemis, Remus' owl Sully, and James' and mine owl (well mostly James' because I only used it to write letters to Mum and Dad) Zeus, and ourselves into the car we had two hours till the train left.
We drove to London an hour and a half away. When we reached the station, Peter and Remus went through first, then James and Sirius, Me, then Mum and Dad. We loaded our trunks into an empty compartment and then left to say our good byes.
Mum gave us each a hug and a kiss on the cheek much to the guys' embarrassment. Dad gave the guys a good thump on the back and when he came to me I could see his eyes shining at me. He hugged me and almost crushed my ribs. He whispered to me that one day I will be told the truth.
"Well good bye till I see you all whenever. Have a good year and stay out of trouble!" Mum said before the train was to leave. We went back to our compartment and sat there waiting for the train to leave. Sirius sat next to me and I sat in his lap. James decided to joke about this with great humor.
"Sirius what will the other girls say when they know you still are going out with my darling cat owning sister." Siren hissed at him and James hissed back.
"James are you alright, you are hissing at a cat which is more intelligent then you."
"Shut it Remus. You know that cat is pure evil."
"Fine hiss at Siren all you want but do remember IT IS A CAT!" Remus said to James who looked a bit taken back. I knew this was from the full moon being in a few days.
"Okay Remus, I won't hiss at the evil cat." Siren who was sitting in the seat next to me leapt at James and slashed his glasses off his face. I loved my cat, so intelligent and hot tempered.
Lily decided at that moment to walk in our compartment looking for me. She looked from me and Sirius to James who was yelling at my cat, to Remus who was chuckling to Peter who looked very confused as to what to do. My cat walked up to Lily and started to rub against her and meow. Lils petted her and looked at me.
"Tempest want to join my compartment? I know the guys need to plan there stupid pranks."
"Sure can I bring something alive with me?"
"If it's this sweet cat yes, your boyfriend no"
"It's the cat."
I picked up Siren and walked to Lily's compartment. It was with two Ravenclaws and two Hufflepuffs. They smiled welcoming to me and Lily and we sat down.
"Hi I'm Vivian Boot. This is Jeannie Cauldwell we're Ravenclaws. Those two are Hufflepuffs and are Marlena Brady and Alice Wood."
"Hello, I'm Tempest Potter and this my cat Siren."
"Oh she is adorable, I love her fur" Alice cried as Siren leapt from my arms onto the floor to be petted.
Our compartment door opened later and three Slytherin girls who had never bothered me before just glare and sneer at me stood in the door. They were Anna Avery, Candy Flint, and Tracy Warrington. They all had horrible brothers older then us and they weren't a make themselves. Anna, there ring leader leaned against the door frame. Candy and Tracy standing behind her, all wearing identical smirks as each other.
"So Potter are you actually capable of talking to humans other then mudbloods this year?"
"Actually I was thinking more along the lines that you actually learned how to speak like a human being. Seeing as last year all you did was grunt like a troll" I said without thinking about what I was saying.
"How dare you, you blood traitor. You see no worth in blood and it is too bad that your family is respected. Of course we always knew you were worse then your family."
Siren leapt back into my arms and hissed at the girls. Her pale yellow focused on those girls, ready to pounce. They laughed and Anna began to yapp again.
"A cat must protect you from us, your worse then I thought. And a stupid, ugly cat at that." Wrong thing to say to my cat, she had a mind of her own.
Siren leapt from my arms and scratched Anna's face right up. She was crying and bleeding and the two other girls were looking concerned. The only thing that could make this situation worse was Snape and Malfoy who showed up at that moment. They went over to Anna and healed her face. There were no scars or any trace of any cat scratch available.
"I will have that cat put down you know, Potter. She just attacked a student and is dangerous" Anna yelled.
"Oh really now, you have no proof of an attack. Now who do you think the teachers are going to believe, me head student of our year who has all the witnesses I need or you, Snape, and Malfoy. Who I might add were almost expelled last year for attacking me so I want your little pee brain of yours to comprehend what I just said. I believe I have the upper hand don't you agree Lily?"
"Of course Tempest, it does seem so."
They left all in a huff about how I was a blood traitor and such. We girls talked for a while and I was asked some questions I never answered fully and some about my shirt and clothes.
"Hey Tempest who is Led Zeppelin? I don't know any rock muggle bands." Alice asked a bit afraid of me.
"One of the best rock bands, second in my book only to The Doors."
"Oh, I guess you went to a Led Zeppelin concert then?"
"Sure did and I loved it. One day you girls should go to a muggle rock concert, they are the best."
I left about an hour later saying I needed to talk to my brother. I went back to an empty compartment; I had known they would be gone causing trouble. I just had to leave the chattering of the girls and I think Siren felt the same way. We sat alone in the quiet no thoughts really passed my head, it was quite relaxing. I put on my robes sticking my wand in my pocket. The guys came back right before the train arrived to Hogwarts. Sirius helped me put Siren in her cage because I had to leave her on the train to see her tonight. I couldn't wait to see if the guys would do a prank or not at the start-of-the-year-feast.
We took a horse less carriage up to Hogwarts and waited for the sorting to begin. I watched the first years come in about a half an hour later looking terrified. I knew that feeling well from my own sorting. I was drawn away from the sorting with James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter whispering together. Correction: James and Sirius sitting across the table from Remus and Peter were whispering to each other and I heard because I was sitting next to Sirius but couldn't make out human words.
I noticed the sorting had ended when Dumbledore began his speech. "Hello students, welcome to Hogwarts for the first or maybe last time. Let us eat before I talk again." He clapped his hands and our food appeared.
I ate a lot more then usual because I hadn't eaten lunch because of me moving compartments. I was not finished eating when the Marauders pulled their prank. All the plates and bowls of food lifted up off the Slytherin table and dropped on all the Slytherins. Of course followed by more from the boys which made the situation worse for the Slytherins and funnier for every one else. Soon all of the Slytherins were being plastered by the quick drying food on their bodies like it was gluing to their skin and seats. They couldn't move at all and then Wet Start Firecrackers were set off above them and they couldn't move to avoid the firecrackers. It was funny to see them try to move and not be able too. Also they had to go through the rest of the dinner like that.
When Dumbledore gave his speech he made my brother and Sirius yell cheers about Quidditch try-outs. Then Dumbledore cast a spell that allowed the Slytherins to go to their common room. I went to the portrait hole with the guys. The new password to the common room was Diricawl.
The one really good thing I was going to miss about summer was Sirius sleeping in my bed or vice versa.
When I got to my dormitory I still had the bed by the window. Siren was sitting on my bed looking quite offended at me by being put in a cage. I petted her and got ready for bed. I would unpack after classes tomorrow. I slipped into my pajamas and climbed in next to Siren. I fell asleep with her rubbing my cheek and keeping me warm.
I woke up on my first day of classes to repeat of last year. I got up at the usual seven and got my shower and dressed. I put on a pair of baggy jeans and a white tee shirt. I put on sneakers so I could get downstairs easily to get my schedule. Professor McGonagall smiled lightly when she saw me. She handed me my schedule and I ate a little bit of toast and I ran back upstairs to get my bag ready. I disliked not getting my schedule the night of coming back but I realized how hard and stupid it would be.
I had Transfiguration first then History of Magic. After lunch I had Defense Against the Dart Arts and Charms. I put together my bag and headed downstairs to the Great Hall again but I found Lily first and told her what classes we were having and she went to prepare for class as I went back downstairs to the Great Hall.
In the Great Hall the guys were already pigging out, shoving food in their mouths like vacuums. I was disgusted and stood behind James and Sirius. Remus realized I was there first and stopped eating. This caused James and Sirius to turn around and Peter to whimper at me.
"Hello dear kind, loving, tolerant sister of mine how would never set her cat on me."
"Wrong as anything James and am I going to have to teach you all manners all over again. We were making so much progress at home and now you're all slobs again. Even you Remus so don't give me that look but you aren't as bad as these three."
"God why do you even care Tempest?" James said sarcastically.
"I care because I must be seen with you."
I turned my heel and walked away but not before hearing them joke about me. James was doing an impression of me to the guys and I laughed. James did this to try to get me angry with him. It never worked because I rarely lost my temper. I chuckled and walked to Transfiguration and sat in the front. The guys followed closely after me to persuade me to get angry or at least they did after jinxing Snape. I sat in the front and they in their usual back. Sirius walked up to me and sat on my desk; I looked up at him my face etched in humor.
"Miss Potter will you please join me in the back for this first class of the new school year."
"No I promised Lily I would sit next to her."
"Alright sweet storm but thee will regret it" he mocked in an old English accent that made me laugh.
He walked away smiling and then Professor McGonagall walked in. Her eyes almost popped out of her head when she saw the guys sitting in the back. She sat at her desk and narrowed her eyes at the boys.
"May I ask what you have done to make you come early? Not you Miss Potter you are expected to come early."
"We had to come to watch Jimmy-boy try to make Tempest lose her temper at him in good fun" Sirius said, he was the only one who could get away with calling James Jimmy-boy to a teacher. What did I say about it, sheer charm.
"I will not ask the four of you any more questions but Mr. Lupin can you help your friends in their word choice next time."
"Of course Ma'am" he agreed with no ounce of tiredness though it showed in his eyes. The full moon was in two days and I was helping him with excuses to get out of telling the guys.
We sat in silence and waited for the other students. Lily rushed in her and sat next to me. She was breathing hard and was trying to tell me what was wrong. I waited till she caught her breath and then began to talk, an edge of panic in her voice.
"Clara, Kasia, and Hannah are talking about you again. They were talking to the Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs. Telling them lies, some don't believe them and some do. What are you going to do?"
"I am going to ignore them and maybe they will stop. I don't care now lets begin our lesson."
We learned how to change live a button into a beetle. It was quite easy actually. I had History of Magic and spent my time copying notes about a Goblin Rebellion. I was impenetrable when it came to Binns' droning. I could never fall asleep in his class unlike many of my classmates, even Lily.
At lunch I sat by myself telling Lily I wanted to be alone to eat. I finished with 30 minutes before class started again. I decided to start my unpacking. "Unpack" I cried moving my wand in sweeping motions. Everything flew out of my trunk and into there rightful places in a nice order. I left with a pet to Siren and headed to DADA.
I arrived early and Professor Whiteman looked at me with concern. He looked at me until I looked in his eyes, I barely made eye contact with people and he looked away when I did. I unpacked my DADA items and sat in the front of the classroom waiting for lunch to be done and class to begin.
"Miss Potter may I ask why you aren't at lunch and enjoying your last minutes of freedom before class?"
"Sir I am not going to be in my tower and late for class from it. It is better to be early."
"Yes it is but you are a child you should be helping in destroying the school or something of that sort."
"Oh sorry Professor I didn't realize some students have marred your image of us all."
"Sit and no more talking Miss Potter" he said almost cruelly.
I sat in silence for the next five minutes till Lily came in and set up next to me. She looked at me with concern like Professor Whiteman and I wondered what was going on.
"Lily what was that look for?"
"What look?"
"That how-are-you-feeling-I-pity-and-am-concerned-for-you look"
"People are saying that you and James had a falling out and that tonight at dinner Sirius is going to dump you."
"Really well that is all lies and I hoped you were above gossip. Also were did you hear this all from?""
"Marlena and Jeannie" she said looking at me with that evil look.
"Well I'm saying that they have heard their info from Clara, Kasia, and Hannah. So please stop those looks."
The guys walked in last and when they passed my desk, Sirius dropped a note on it. I hid it in my robes and wondered what it was about. When I finished copying notes I took it out and read it.
Tempest,
Meet me after dinner so I call talk to you in the library.
Love your wonderful and handsome boyfriend,
Sirius
I slipped the note away and sat in silence waiting for the next directions. I finished the spell in class after notes which was hard for some, easy for others like me and Lily.
I walked to Charms with Lily at my heels. People kept giving those looks like Lily did. I hated being paid attention too also which made it worse. At least in Charms Professor Flitwick didn't because I think he understood I hated those looks. Also teachers weren't supposed to believe pure gossip? Right?
I had no homework for the day and decided to go to the library before dinner. I found a book about spells that was fat and interested me. It was about things friends could try to master together. Lily would like this book. I checked out the book and headed to dinner.
After dinner and giving Remus excuses under my breath, I met Sirius in the library and we talked in the back. He was leaning on his chair's hind legs and I as waiting for him to bust his head open from it. I could actually picture it in my mind and I was disgusted with my self and scared of that thought. It was a horrid picture with blood and screams of pain.
"Tempest can we talk about stuff without humor or anything of that sort?"
"Sure Sirius, what is the mater?"
"Do you love me like I love you?"
"Of course Sirius, my soul loves and adores you. Why do you ask me such a question?"
"People have been saying things about you not actually caring and loving me."
"Did this come from the other girls in my dorm?"
"Yes, but-oh"
"Yes do remember they hate me because we are together."
"When then let us Marauders prank them tomorrow" he pouted a bit and I smiled at him.
"Of course you can, just leave Lils alone and if you prank her make it minimum compared to them."
We walked to the common room and sat down by the rest of the guys. Sirius and James left to the kitchens under the invisibility cloak and came back with lots of sweets. Sirius walked back to me and I had pulled out my book while he was gone and was reading. I was going to like this book. It had a lot of spells friends did together to be connected.
"James make the book go away. It is scaring me and I will have to eat the book if you don't then I'll eat the sweets" He whined as I sat on his lap and read.
"You will not, just because Remus lets you eat his books doesn't mean I will let you eat mine" I said with humor etched over my face.
"Yes and you still owe me a new book because you claimed to have rabies and ate my book in front of the book store right after I bought it."
"Sirius!" I cried at him. I didn't know he had done that. The guys probably snuck out while I was up in my room and went to Diagon Alley during the summer.
"Don't mention that around Tempest. She didn't know about it" he hissed at Remus. Remus bared his teeth and growled playfully but I knew he was doing this because of the full moon.
Remus and I had figured out that he would tell the guys that his grandmother had died and had to go to her funeral. It wasn't our best but we had to do this at dinner when they weren't looking or hearing. Also it was the only one we had agreed on.
I went upstairs when Lily had come in and stormed upstairs, I went up after her with pastry in my hair because I had sat in Sirius' lap while he ate sweets. It was the biggest mistake for my hair and me since he was a sloppy eater. Lily was sitting on her bed which was next to mine and reading a book. A cross expression was upon her usually happy and popular face.
"Lils you alright because you looked pretty pissed off at everything."
"Oh Marlena and I just got in a row about what our dorm mates said about you. She believes it but no one else but Slytherins and a few others believe it, I worked them out of it after dinner."
"Thanks but you know I don't care and Sirius and I are still together."
"That is good; well I hope people one day will learn that gossip is stupid?"
"No, people love gossip and dirty laundry."
"Yes true but I think it is horrible and about you of all people! Oh then you don't care and I have to straighten people out."
"Oh well I'm going to bed. Night Lils and beware for tomorrow's screams."
I fell asleep and woke up as usual. I dressed in a pair of flare jeans and a green tee shirt. I slipped on my robes and grabbed my bags. I was careful of everything I did. One could never tell what the Marauders would do.
I sat in breakfast and watched as Lily came down in perfectly happy spirits, guess they didn't go after her. The Marauders came down and we all waited in baited breath for the others to come. The girls came down with tears coming out of their eyes. Sirius pulled me closer and we kissed then laughed along with the rest of the school.
They marched over to us. They were in hot pink robes with frilly cuffs and collars. There hair was green for Carla, pale blue for Kasia, and yellow for Hannah. They smelled of rotten eggs and vomit. Their skin matched their hair. They also couldn't take off the charms. The guys must have put a locked the charm so they couldn't change it.
"Change it back all of you now" Hannah screeched.
"Can't do it sorry we locked the charm" Remus who looked sicker then yesterday laughed.
"How long will this last you arseholes?" Clara shrieked.
"About 72 hours, now go away" Sirius said moving his hand to make them move along.
They left tears streaming down their face, of course McGonagall came up to us just seconds later. Her nostrils flared and her eyes narrowed like a hawk on the boys. She balled her hands into fists when she came up to us. I was sitting in Sirius' arms and I backed up into him more.
"May I assume correctly that you did that to your own house mates?"
"Yes Professor but we did it as revenge for their gossip about my lovely sister."
"Gossip or not that is not a reason to go around pranking anyone you feel like it. In fact I believe pranking anyone is stupid and childish. Twenty points from Gryffindor and detention all of you of four tomorrow, except Mr. Lupin who will serve his detention in three days. Meet me in my office tonight at eight and we will discuss the detentions for you all."
She stormed away and all the guys turned to Remus. They were beginning to get suspicious and I knew they would start to ask questions soon. They probably thought he was having family illness again or something like that.
"When do you leave Remus?" Peter asked unsure.
"Tomorrow for my grandmother's funeral" he whispered trying not to look at the others.
"Sorry to hear that man, well we better get to class" James, the leader of all of them said.
We grabbed our bags and left for class. I had the guys running through the halls after me so I had them early for class. James and Sirius said they were losing their reputations because of me. I looked at them, my eyes narrowed and they shut it.
When Remus came back after his transformation, he was in the hospital wing. Madame Keystone healed him but kept him all day. He was tired and weary but served his detention anyway. I knew if we let anything else to Remus' disease the guys would know quickly. I had a feeling they would know by the end of the year though.
After Remus' transformation every thing returned to normal for us. James and Sirius of course were trying out for Quidditch and this is all they talked about now. It was quite annoying and couldn't wait till try-outs were over with.
I was being forcefully dragged to the Quidditch try-outs by Remus and Peter now. James and Sirius wanted us there to watch and I had agreed grudgingly. Now I disliked Quidditch but didn't hate in a sense. I just felt one could do more productive things with there time. Of course not many agreed with me that there was more important thing then their sport. Lily agreed because after me being dragged by Sirius up into the stands for the first Quidditch match she went to keep me from committing suicide or murder. I couldn't figure out which one would be more rewarding.
I sat in the stands, bored out of my wits. Remus had brought some homework that was due next week. I of course had no such luck being the person who finished her homework the day she got it. I had finished today's homework that we received for the weekend, seeing as it was Friday and such. I looked at Peter who seemed to thoroughly enjoying himself and it reminded me of my own misery. Everything in this damned pitch did actually. I didn't even watch the try-outs but concentrated on my feet and how interesting they were.
Hours later when it had gotten dark, we finally retreated to the common room to wait for the guys. They came up an hour later talking avidly of the try-outs. I knew they would make it if they flew as well as they did in the summer. We would find out tomorrow and I was waiting to pull out my hair from it. Sirius sat next to me and pulled me into his lap. James sat next to a distant looking Remus.
I stayed in Sirius' arms for hours till everyone but James, Remus, Sirius, and I were left. I fell asleep in Sirius' arms after he kissed my forehead. I woke up in Sirius' bed the next day after hearing the boys talking.
"You know what if one of the teachers come up here?" James asked to the others.
"We will say she fell asleep downstairs and you toke her up here. I gave up my bed so she could sleep" Sirius said with a note of annoyance in his voice.
"Thanks be that Frank and Andrew were asleep when we came up and didn't catch us at all."
"Also thank that most of the tower is outside because it is a Saturday and when she wakes up we sneak her out" Remus said to them all.
I sat up groggily and tried to get out of Sirius' bed but ended up falling on the floor because my legs weren't working yet. Sirius leapt from James' bed where he was to next to me. He lifted me up and placed me back on his bed. He looked at James and my brother nodded.
Next thing I knew Sirius had picked me up and James' threw the cloak on top of us. Sirius carried me to my dorm after saying the counter curse almost silently. He laid me on my bed, kissed my forehead, and left under the cloak. I was alone up in my dorm and very dirty.
I showered and dressed in some clean clothes, a pair of black baggy jeans (like most of my clothes), a scarlet tee shirt, and a pair of black boots. I tied my hair in the nape of my neck with a white ribbon. I pulled on my robes and left with my wand back to the guys' dorm.
They were sitting on James' bed talking about pranks and Quidditch. I swear did nothing else penetrate their sculls. Then again they were looking extremely happy as if they had gotten away with something big.
"May I ask what has gotten into all of you?"
"Yes sweet storm, guess who has just become a new chaser and beater for the house team."
"Unruly haired boy and you sweet, darling, intelligent- wait I take that last one back, Sirius."
"Hey we see how it is Tempest. You don't love us anymore" Sirius pouted after saying this and I wanted to murder him for making me break down and say I was sorry for what I had said.
"Oh really I love you both just James as a brother and you because I just love you unconditionally."
"Really I love you too Tempest."
Sirius grabbed my hand then and pulled me in his bed which was next to James'. He closed his curtains and kissed me like that day after him having me fly with him. I kissed back with as much passion; we did this till Remus opened the curtains and told us to come back to earth because they needed Sirius and me for a project of theirs. This of course meant me telling which spells and Sirius being involved with what to do.
I set with the guys till lunch, telling them how to do certain things and listened faintly to what they were going to do Snivellus and Malfoy. I ate little at lunch and went back to my dormitory after to read up in that book I had recently checked out. Of course Lils had followed me back to the dormitory to ask me questions.
When she entered after me, she didn't look disappointed or angry but nothing at all. Her expression was blank and that scared me a bit, she was the one always easy to read and me not unless I wanted to be read by someone. She sat on her bed and faced me on my own bed.
"Tempest were you with the guys last night?"
"Yes but what is wrong with that?"
"Nothing to me but why do you sleep in Sirius' bed when you fall asleep downstairs?"
"They know the charm to come up here, but I think they don't want the other girls to know this."
"Oh and one other question do you love Sirius?"
"Yes I do love him. I love him with all my heart and I know we are only twelve but I still do."
"I understand but I want you to know I'm always here if you need to tell me stuff. What are best friends for if they don't tell each other things?"
"This" and I picked up my pillow and threw it at her.
"You wanna play like that now, bring it to me" She cried and threw a pillow at me.
This started a major pillow fight. We were hitting each other with our pillows till they were nothing. Feathers were everywhere, on the beds, the floor, and on us. We were laughing to hard notice though. We dropped the pillow case and left the messy dormitory not caring. We laughed all the way outside with everyone looking at us.
I thought they would because who wouldn't look at us in this state. Hair gone wild with feathers in it, tears of joy coming down our cheeks and laughing till our sides were numb, cheeks rosy, and our robes flying away, we were a sight for sore eyes. We sat next to our Oak tree we called Hester and calmed down.
We sat there for hours laughing and talking about useless stuff until Sirius came to fetch us for dinner. He looked at us critically and then laughed. I kicked him in the leg because Lily and I were sitting on the ground. He rubbed it and looked at me with his puppy dog eyes.
"Hey no hurting the Gryffindor God" he whined.
"You a Gryffindor God, ha then I am the bloody queen of all human beings" Lily laughed standing up.
"Are you going to let your friend insult me, sweet storm?"
"Yes" I answered standing up and hugging Sirius.
He smiled at me and put me on his shoulder. I hated when he did this and he carried me back to the Great Hall. I was pounding on his back and screaming at him while Lily laughed at us two.
"Sirius Black if you don't put me down this second I will hurt you when I get the chance."
"Really I know you won't unless it is playfully."
"I hate you Sirius."
"Now don't go that far Tempy the curly haired one."
He carried me into the Great Hall, my cheeks got red as everyone looked at me. I didn't care when me and Lily were out of it but now I was ready to freak out from the attention. He carried me up to the high table and stood in front of Professor McGonagall. I was now limp because I had given up fighting him outside.
"I found them both Professor. Evans came peacefully but I had a hard time getting this one." He pointed to me and I wanted to kick him, but I refrained from doing so.
"Put her down Black right this instant. Miss Potter wouldn't have fought you in the first place and I never sent you to get them" She hollered, everyone hadn't touched their food and everyone was looking at us. Lily had sat down and was watching us too. She couldn't have done anything against Sirius without hurting me and right now I didn't care.
Professor McGonagall was standing now and leering at Sirius. She was now creepily calm but everyone one of her words stood with me and Sirius, "Put her down Black and I won't do anything to you. No point loss or detention. I think what Miss Potter shall do to you is enough."
Sirius let me down and I ran from the Great Hall to the library. I found a table and was crying about how Sirius could embarrass me like that. That was so uncalled for and it hurt so bad that he made the entire school look at me. If having rumors was bad enough, the guy I care about embarrasses me.
Sirius came in the library and sat next to me. He lifted my chin and I glared at him, this caused him to look a bit nervous. I never glared at him unless it was playfully like my hits. He bit his lip and whispered to me. I still shivered but I resolved to not give in this time.
"Please Tempest forgive me. It was just a joke and I didn't mean to hurt you, honestly."
"You know I hate being looked at or whispered about. Looks like this will give them more to whisper about. Good bye Sirius Black, don't ever speak to me again."
I looked at his face and left, his eyes hurt me too much. They held pain, regret, and heartbreak. In those words I had broken my own heart but I didn't regret it in that moment. I would later; I knew it in my heart and soul.
When I was in my dormitory I put on silencing spell on my bed and cried for hours. I cried myself asleep that Saturday, the first time in many years. I regretted it already but I could do nothing to heal my heart. It was broken and it was my own fault and it hurt worse because I had broken Sirius' in the process. I hated it all and wished I hadn't gotten so angry I hated what I had done but I knew I couldn't fix it now. What was done is done. This was worse then any prophesy or dreams this was my soul broken into two. I didn't care about them anymore, I cared about Sirius and how I had broken him too.
