What a Letter Holds and Unfair Punishment

~*~*~

A/N: Not much 2 say hehe! I'm just bored so I'm gunna right. So enjoy my fan FICTION story, in which nothing has to be like the book. *COUGH*

~*~*~

"Here, just read the letter," Remus said, taking a piece of parchment from his pocket. "It'll probably make more sence." He handed it to her and she started to read.

Remus,

I got some bad news. Mum's sick. Not the regular sick, she's got a really bad case of Pneumonia. Craig and I took her to St. Mungos and they told us that she could die at any moment. So far she's the same as before, but I dunno how long it'll keep up like that.

Oh, and you don't need to come home, it might make mum worse. I dare say bad things happen when you come. It was when you were 6 and I was 8 that a werewolf killed dad, and I can say it wasn't my fault, nor, of course, mum's.

Craig will send a letter as well, but I don't know when you'll get it.

Romulus

When Kayz finished reading it, she didn't know what to say. Brothers always tease each other, but this letter was no such joke. It was blaming REMUS for the death of their dad!

"Remus..I'm sure your mum is going to be alright, I just know it," she said, after a few moments of silence. She gave him the letter back. "But..this..your brother was down right rude! I mean, it wasn't your fault that..well..you know."

"Yeah, he always does that though," Remus said, stuffing the parchment in his pocket.

"That's just messed up," Kayz muttered. "Who's Craig, though?"

"My stepdad," Remus said. "He isn't much better then Romulus. Only in front of mum he treats me like a human. Other then that, it's the same ole insults."

"Like what?" Kayz asked, in shock about the new things that she's learning.

"I dunno, stuff like, 'you lazy slease ball, get your arse up and do something useful' and right before the full moon, 'Best get out of here, or you'll kill us like you killed your dad'. Stuff like that," Remus said, as if it was normal to talk about. Kayz clenched her fists in rage.

"WHY THAT LITTLE SACK OF--" Kayz started to yell, but Remus put his hand over her mouth to stop her. Just as he did so, the boy's dorm door flew opened and James, Sirius, and Peter came running out. They saw Remus with his hand over Kayz's mouth. .

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO HER, REMUS?" James yelled out, running down the stairs along with the other two. He jumped onto Remus, knocking him to the ground. Kayz stood there with her eyebrows raised and sighed.

"YOU KNOW THAT IF YOU HURT HER, YOU'RE GUNNA HAVE TO FACE A WHOLE LOTTA PEOPLE!" James yelled again. By this time, MoMo and Lily came out to see what the comotion was about.

"James! Get off of him, he wasn't hurting me," Kayz said. James slowly got up, and Remus was able to breathe again. "I was about to yell, but Remus stopped me, that's all." James looked at Kayz, who was embarrassed, to Remus, who looked sore.

"Sorry, mate," James said, helping Remus up. "I just saw that part and assumed."

"You do that too much, James!" Lily said, walking next to him."If a prefect saw that, you could be expelled!"

"Of course, but not could. He WILL," A voice said out of no where.They all looked by the portrait and saw Malfoy and.. Professor McGonagall. Lily swore under her breath.

"Mr. Potter, I can't BELIEVE you! First you get your badge taken away and then you attack another student!?" McGonagall said, the line of her mouth VERY thin.

"But professor!" Lily started

"He didn't attack me on purpose!" Remus said, but McGonagall ignored them.

"Mr. Potter, you shall come to my office at ONCE!" she said.

"Excuse me, Professor, with all do respect, I believe it is against house regulations that another student from another house is strictly forbidden to be in another house's common room. If I read the rule correctly." MoMo spoke up as she glared at Malfoy.

"Yes, but seeing as he is Head Boy, he was strolling along to see that everyone was in their common rooms and he heard some yelling from here and went to get me," McGonagall said.

"But that's the PROBLEM, Professor! He didn't hear everything that happened, and neither did you! There was a mixup, that's all!" Kayz said, trying desperatly to get McGonagall to listen.

"I'd be careful, Miss Pierce, or you, too, will be expelled!" she said. Kayz was about to say something else, but James gave her a warning look, as if to say, 'don't you go and get yourself expelled too!'.

"Now, Mr. Potter, follow me!" McGonagall said. Slowly, he left the common room, followed by McGonagall, then Malfoy, who smircked at the others. The portrait slowly closed.

"This CAN'T be happening..it just can't!" Lily said, sitting on the couch. "Guys, we need to go follow them to get her to LISTEN!" They all headed out the portrait and headed off towards McGonagall's office. Just as they turned the corner to get there, they ran into..who would've thought..Malfoy.

"Well, looky there. Students out of bed," he smircked again.

"Of, shove it up your arse Malfoy, get out of the way!" Lily yelled, pushing past him. However, he grabbed her wrist to stop her.

"I'd watch your step, Evans. With James gone, there's no one who can save you from any awful things," he whispered for only her to hear. She didn't think about what he was saying, however. Lily yanked her arm out of his grasp and ran to McGonagalls office, followed by the rest, of course. As she reached for the knob of the door, it opened.

James came out, looking deadly pale. He saw Lily there, breathing hard. The others were waiting for the answer.

"James..did you get..get, expelled?" Lily asked in a whisper. James looked her in the eye, and slowly nodded.

"THAT WITCH!" Kayz yelled out. "SHE DOESN'T KNOW THE WHOLE STORY AND SHE EXPELS YOU??"

"EXACTLY! THAT'S MESSED UP!" Sirius yelled.

"WE SHOULD GO IN THERE AND BEAT HER SENSLESS!" Kayz yelled, and everyone agreed.

"THEN SMACK HER A FEW!" MoMo yelled.

"AND IF THAT DON'T WORK, WE'LL FEED HER TO HUNGRY LIONS!" Remus yelled

"Guys, it's not like she's sending me to my death," James said.

"YES IT IS!" Lily yelled out at last. She was over the shock. "This is just so stupid! STUPID! I'm going in there and give her a piece of my mind!" As Lily yet again reached for the door, James softly grabbed her arm to stop her.

"Lily, there's nothing you can do. She's so mad right now that if we offend her or anything, she'll expel all of us," he said softly. Lily opened her mouth a few times as if to say something, but shut it. Tears swelled up in her eyes and she threw her arms around James's neck and cried.

"S-she just can't do t-this!" she sobbed. James held on to her tightly, not wanting to let go. "This can't b-be happening." They stayed like that for a long time, and no one wanted to interrupt it. Kayz and MoMo had tears in their eyes for many reasons. It was a sweet scene with Lily and James, and it was also a bad scene as for James was about to leave home, away from Hogwarts, forever. . .
