A Trip to the Past
Disclaimer: I only own my characters and my plot. J.K. Rowling owns everything else. Sorry for my mistakes and the wait for the last chapter and this one.
I opened my eyes and looked around the room for the first time in the last twenty minutes. I had had a towel on my eyes while Viv highlighted my hair with blue. I couldn't wait for the reactions from Sirius and my other friends. Not even Lils knew what was happening to my hair only Viv. I let Viv dry my hair and pull it back in a bun so I could into the library before dinner without Madame Prince freaking out.
I thanked Viv and left the empty classroom to go finish my homework in the library. My boots thumped against the deserted hallways because people were outside in the cold February air and were playing in the left over snow which sent shivers down my spine whenever I thought about it. I did my homework and waited for dinner to come while flipping through a book on the lost Ancient secrets which had fascinated me since I got my Christmas present about it.
I was most fascinated by the most powerful Ancient, Zelda and her son Xavier. Her son was said to have written down all the secrets before being transformed into a vampire. Xavier was still out there because he had his mother's power and smarts and hadn't been staked. This we knew since it would have been recorded and there was hope he still knew them but no one had seen a hind or hair of him in the last three century's though we all knew he was out there waiting and watching. I flipped through the book before going to dinner.
At dinner I smiled at Viv and she was grinning because a little of the blue hair had fallen from my bun. I placed it behind my ears and watched the Marauders whispering about some prank they were going to pull before tomorrows Hogsmeade trip. I as usual didn't talk to people because I was afraid of them but left before the guys pulled their prank much to Sirius' disappointed eyes.
In the tower I went to the guys' dorm and got some of the restricted books on animagi I wanted to read when they came back and Lils storming into our own dorm with me blaring Queen at the moment. I let down my black and blue hair and waited calmly for Lily's pure rage foot steps. Up here they come now I thought as she stormed into our dorm into our bathroom., covered in goop and chicken feathers which were very becoming of her. Twenty minutes later she returned clean and pissed off at everything. She even glared at me until I looked at her sitting on my bed petting Siren.
"Yes Lady Lily?" I drawled in a humorous way and she just glared at me like I was the embodiment of evil.
"Your brother, your boyfriend, and your friends have to be stopped. They are disgusting as is their behavior" she shouted at me.
"Yeah well what am I supposed to do about it? Get your precious Jack to do something about it if you care so much" I cried slamming my book on to my bed and standing up as did Lily.
"Tempest I am your best friend, I need you to tell them to stop because you and Jeannie are the only ones close to them besides you are even closer then Jeannie is. I need you to do this for me because I can't take their shit anymore" she hissed at me accenting every word to my annoyance.
"I can't and I won't Lily and you should know that" I stated calmly picking up my cloak because I was going for a walk outside.
I walked away from an angry Lily without another word and out to the dark world. Storm clouds were rolling in and you could smell that the rain was going to fall, hiding the full moon of the night which was killing Remus right now. I went and sat at Hester's base and let my face contort but never did I let a tear fall. I wouldn't cry for any reason anymore and I wasn't going to start now. I sat there till it began to rain drenching me but I still did not move because I felt I just didn't or couldn't. I stayed like this till Sirius came outside and was at my side dripping wet as I was.
He wrapped his arms around my shoulders and hugged me like I had been gone for years. He pulled me to my feet because he knew I was in my trance and little could make me move or come out of it until I did naturally. He began to step away but when he saw I was not going to walk he draped his arm around and led me away.
We reached the common room right before curfew and Sirius had to lead me quietly up to my room so I would actually move. By this time I was shivering because it had finally regrestitered in my brain I was wet and cold and wanted warmth. No one was now in the dorm and Sirius sat me on my window sill going to my wardrobe. He pulled out dry pajamas for me and sat them down next to my shivering body.
"Temp get dressed you are shivering, I'll be right back when I'm done dressing" he whispered, sending one last concerned look at me and I knew he would come back by the invisibility cloak.
I dressed in my clothes but was still terribly cold so I wrapped myself in the comforter. I heard our dorm open and close and Sirius peeled off the cloak and put it in my wardrobe before coming over and setting on my bed. He removed the comforter and laid it on the bed and made me climb in bed as did he. I pulled the comforter and the extra blanket on us, shut the curtains, and wrapped his arms around me. I let my head drift onto his chest and I thought about the prophesy, that this was my soul mate and we would be separated by something and I wondered what.
"Sweet storm do you love me?" he asked right before I fell asleep.
"I love you Sirius Black and I will forever."
"Good now go to sleep. Oh and I love the blue and you."
"Thanks, night Babe" I snuggled up to his warmth and fell asleep.
I woke to Sirius gone and in his own dorm which left me alone in a sleeping room. I went and showered coming out to dress in my combat boots, a pair of ripped jeans, and a black tee shirt. I had about fifty safety pins in my clothes and robe when I through it on, grabbed my wand, and then my money bag. I of course met trouble before I even left the tower; Jack Knight Lily's boyfriend sneered at me and grabbed my shoulders to keep me from moving.
"Hey get the hell off" I yelled at him ripping my shoulders away from hid grasp and turning to face him, my face contorted into fury with my wand drawn at him.
"Shut up Potter, what did you and Lily argue about last night. She came down here furious after you stormed out and screamed you were a bitch many times."
"None of your fucking business, arsehole and if you come near her again I will kill you" Sirius growled taking his place by me in a leather pants with chains on them, a muggle biker shirt, and his hair was now really short and spiky. I loved it and went up and kissed him for it.
"You two are so screwed up you know that right, well I'll leave you two screw ups alone then" he cried backing away from us both.
Sirius wrapped his arm around my shoulders and we walked in unison talking about our hair. We entered the great hall and everyone stopped talking and we smiled. Dawn stood up and started to clap for us and our new difference. I smiled at her as the rest of our friends did so with glory, which started to anger McGonagall to no end as she was turning red in the face. We sat at our table by ourselves and waited for the other boys to come and see us. They arrived and just looked at us normally like you saw this everyday and sat down and shoved food into their mouths.
We left for Hogsmeade after breakfast and after flipping some people off (Snivellus and Malfoy, hint, hint) we arrived to the town to destroy it. We ran around to every store like children in a candy store. I bought some spikes at the junk store, candy galore, and I admired chains in some store which I forget its name, we headed for lunch to the Three Broomsticks.
At the Three Broomsticks we drank butterbeer and the guys ate while I looked around for my friends. I only found Lily making out with Jack. To be annoying I broke them apart with gagging noises and pretending to choke myself. They glared at me and Lily in her perfect way tried to tell me off.
"Grow up Potter or are you just like your brother?" she sneered.
"Sorry I am grown up but I don't have a stick shoved up my arse twenty four seven. I only have one up mine fifteen hours a day excluding weekends and holidays" I mocked her as I left her mouth agape. "You do know that, that is very unbecoming for you unlike the goop and feathers last night."
I walked back to my table the boys roaring at what I had done and James thumped me on the back. Sirius pulled me on his lap and kissed me happily as Jeannie came over and sat on Remus' lap. She kissed him then looked at me very disappointed. I didn't like looks of disappointment directed at me nor did I like sympathy.
"Jeannie what is wrong?"
"You shouldn't have done that to Lily, even if you guys aren't friends anymore. Please just leave her alone."
"Can't do that Jeannie sorry. I have to get my usage out of this."
"Fine but please at least put both of your hair back to normal and dress normal. People are talking about you both again."
"When don't they? Please Jeannie just stick to your own damn business about our look and mouths" Sirius shot back at her and she looked at Remus and me for support but Remus just looked flabbergasted and I went up and kissed Sirius on the cheek. We walked out before more could be said or have to watch James flirt with some ditz.
We walked along town trying to find something to do. We of course found nothing but the shrieking house with Snivellus and Anna. They were sneering at us when we came close to them and we looked at them, fury and hatred in both of our eyes.
"Well, well we have the good punks on Dumbledore's side don't we, Anna" Snape mocked us. Oh shit he just didn't start this again did he?
Sirius didn't even go for his wand and tackled Snape with all his might and I watched as Anna ran over to me and tried to hit me. I blocked it and because I was wearing my spikes I had just bought, they got her in the arm. I watched in glory as she almost as my spikes dug into her arm. I then hit her in the face with my fist and gave her a black eye. That kept her down for a moment and I went to pull Snape off Sirius, who he was choking.
I couldn't move him because he was so heavy and swiped me with his face, so I resorted to my wand. I levitated Snape away from Sirius and felt Anna pushing me in the back, so I lost me concentration on moving Snape and he dropped with a thud on the ground. I heard yells from behind us and saw James, Remus, and in behind Peter running up to us. James and Remus reached Sirius first and I went back to getting my revenge on Anna.
I turned around to a smirking and bleeding Anna and struck her in the nose. I broke it I knew because she started to scream in pain and was bleeding badly. I smirked and as she screamed and yelled and went to help Sirius which wasn't that hard. Snape lay knocked out on the ground, bruised and battered and I let him take my hand to get up. We ran from the scene after I hit Anna one last time to knock her out.
We snuck back into the castle and cleaned up. I healed our wounds and cleaned and stitched up our clothes in seconds. We then went and hung out by the lake and at Hester. I climbed in the tree and Sirius went to come up but Remus grabbed his robes and held him down before it dawned on Sirius that he wasn't aloud in trees any more because of our first year.
"You know, I don't know what happened to both of you but I still know that Sirius is still a rebel and Temp is still top student right?" James laughed in pure sadistic humor.
"Yes Jamsie-poo" I cried almost falling out of my tree. I settled myself back in my tree and waited for them to calm down from their laughter.
"I hope you both know what will happen if you get caught, right?" Remus asked with concern. I jumped from my tree and looked him dead straight in the eyes.
"Of course but I doubt they will run and tell, they are Slytherins with pride unlike Malfoy" I stated coldly.
"Besides Remmy I put a memory charm on them before we left. Sorry I didn't tell you guys about it first, especially you sweet storm" Sirius said jumping up and down like a hyperactive monkey.
"Whatever Siri, just make sure we keep our heads down about it" I said touching Sirius' cheek and winked at him. He smiled gleefully and led me away to a very flabbergasted group of males.
I was led to the room I was led to last year for our one year anniversary. Sirius sat on the couch and I sat in his lap. He kissed my neck and then bit the skin. I knew it would leave a hickey on my neck and I decide to get back at him. I pulled his head away from my neck and kissed him gently. His tongue toke his place in my mouth and we played tongue hockey until I bit the tip of his tongue. It bled in my mouth and we broke apart to me ending up swallowing his sweet blood.
"Babe I am so sorry" He cried holding my cheeks.
"It is alright Sirius, here I'll prove it."
I kissed him again then left the room to the Great Hall, Sirius at my heels. At dinner everyone looked at us like weirdoes and we just went on smiling. This of course angered Sirius' fan club even more and they went on hating me even more. I left the dinner early to the library with an evil librarian who looked at me like dirt when I entered.
I read till curfew and then went up to my dorm. Lily was in the bedroom when I went in the bathroom to check out my neck. The hickey was like a purple and black bruise and I promised myself I would get Sirius back even more. I went back in my room and read a book and listened to the Ramones.
Lily glared at me but I just ignored her with a proper dignity. We managed to stay enemies until Easter Break with me hanging around dawn and Alice more. They didn't have any side in our fight and I was grateful.
In the beginning of spring Break James' started to date a Hufflepuff named Cherry Lab. She was highly annoying and stupid and I disliked her immediately because of her high-pitched squealing voice. The boys didn't mind her too much but rather not be around her for long periods of time.
Lily was particularly upset in the beginning because Jack had broken up with her for Kasia and all my friends had boyfriends now and she didn't and James wasn't helping. He had mocked her mercilessly about being dumped until I crushed his toes and told him to shut the hell up. Lily then rushed into my arms and sobbed thanking me. I said it was alright then sat her on a chair and walked up to Kasia and Jack.
"Excuse me arsehole and bitch I have something to give you" I said as they both sneered at me.
I silenced them then gave them candy that turned them into weasels for twenty four hours; then erased the memory of me as the one who did it. I sat next to a laughing Lily and held out my hand and whispered friends and she toke it and said best friends. I left her later smiling about having my best friend back as she went and told the others. I practiced some spells outside and went inside when it began to rain.
In the end it rained the entire time and it fit Sirius and mine mood after we received a letter from his parents about our summer. It was totally horrible and when we got it his shaking hand opened it and Sirius read it out loud.
Sirius and Tempest,
I know both of you love to spend your summers together, so we toke it upon ourselves to make sure it happens. Both of you shall spend one month at the Black House in London then one month in Potter Manor. This has been brought over Tempest's parents and they have agreed.
Good day,
Thomas and Trinity Black
"Oh Shit" Sirius yelled throwing a lamp and I sat in silence as it hit the wall and shattered.
"Sirius stop it will be alright. We have to make the best of it and then we shall be back at my home."
"What are your parents thinking and wait till James and Remus hear."
"Sirius! I would think you should know that we can do nothing and we will have to go along with this."
"I do but I don't want you there" he said hugging me close.
"I know Siri, I know" I cried into his chest as we sat on his bed where we had received the letter of doom.
I heard James yells that night as he found out from Sirius and the next morning they all looked tired and weary except Peter who we joked could sleep through a hurricane in his room. I sat with Lils who has heard everything from me in the night and was just as upset as James had been but did not scream and yell.
I made it through the rest of the year dreading summer. Of course it came after I had been top student once again. I had died my hair completely blue the night before we left much to everyone's horror and we waited in our neatly packed room.
