Auria woke up to the sound of trunk being slammed shut. She opened her eyes
and peeked out from between the curtains to find Lily angrily searching
through her bag.
"What did you lose?" Auria asked stretching her arms.
"I can't find my charms notes from yesterday's class and we have a test today" Lily replied her voice rising in panic.
Auria flopped back onto her pillow and sighed. "James has them" she said quietly and then squeezed her eyes shut, knowing what was coming.
"WHAT?" Lily cried spinning around to stare at Auria.
"I saw him using them last night to finish his homework."
"That immature little thief" Lily replied angrily.
"He said you let him borrow them" Auria replied in James' defense.
"I did not" Lily screeched. "He must have stolen them out of my bag." At that she turned on her heel and stomped out of the room, slamming the door behind her.
After listening to her yell at James for a few minutes, Auria sleepily got up and dressed. By the time she arrived in the common room everyone else had already gone to breakfast. She was just climbing out of the portrait hole when she heard someone coming down the stairs behind her. Looking over her shoulder she saw that it was Sirius, and at the sight of his face she gasped.
"What happened to you?" she asked rushing over to him.
"Nothing" he mumbled trying to hide his face.
"Nothing?" Auria said in disbelief.
Sirius had a black eye, several small cuts and a nasty looking burn on the side of his face.
"James thought it would be funny to leave a bottle of blushing potion hanging just over my pillow."
Auria gazed at him confused.
"So when I sat up I bashed my head into the bottle, which then broke all over my face" he said hotly. "When you pour too much on this is what happens," he motioned to the burn.
"That was mean," Auria said matter of factly.
Sirius just shrugged and continued on past her towards the portrait hole.
"Wait, let me heal it" she said blocking his way.
Sirius looked around the room in obvious discomfort. Auria raised her hand and gently ran her fingers down the burn.
"Fine" he said sharply, secretly enjoying her touch.
Auria took his hand and led him upstairs to his room.
"What are you doing?" he asked as she sat him down on his bed and pulled the curtains closed.
"I don't want anyone to see me" she replied.
"Oh right," said Sirius nodding.
"Now lie down" she commanded placing her hand on his chest and firmly pushing him onto the mattress.
"I could get used to this" he said grinning.
Auria glared at him, but then looked away and blushed. She quickly changed into her animagus form and hopped over to his face. Her tears felt cool on his burnt skin and after a few minutes the cuts and burn were healed.
"Thanks love" he said, petting her white feathers.
"You're welcome" she replied returning to her normal form.
Sirius' hand was still on her face. He slid it behind her head and pulled her down for a kiss. They made out for a few minutes before deciding that they were hungry, and headed down to breakfast.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Where have you two been?" James asked playfully as Sirius and Auria sat down across from him.
"Fixing my face, you git" Sirius replied angrily.
"Sorry about that mate, I didn't think it would cause so much damage" he said apologetically.
"It's alright" Sirius muttered shoveling potatoes onto his plate.
"But it's not alright with me" Lily screamed down the table.
"Rough morning huh?" Remus said laughing.
"Shut up" James replied staring at his plate.
Remus then handed Auria the Daily Prophet. "Good news in it today."
Auria looked down at the headline.
"Death Eater Patterson caught by Mystery Woman"
"She was like an angel from above, saved my life and healed me of my wounds" read the quote from the man she had helped.
Auria read the article and smiled. Once she was finished she handed it to Sirius.
"It was me" she whispered in his ear as soon as he put it down.
Sirius stared at her with an impressed look on his face.
Just then the bell rang and everyone headed off to class.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Auria and Sirius were strolling through the courtyard after charms class when it happened.
"How on earth did you know how to do those charms?" Sirius asked. "We just learned them yesterday and you weren't even there."
"I already knew how to do them" she answered with a grin. "But Lily's still the best in that cla-"
Just then Auria's shoulder collided with someone else's. As she turned back to see who it was a violent hate rose up in her. She dropped her bag and drew out her wand.
"Hey Snivellus" she called in a cool voice.
Snape turned around, a victorious grin on his face.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't little Auria Jac-"
But Snape never finished his sentence. Auria pointed her wand straight at his face and yelled, "Searus." Snape stumbled backwards in pain as a large gash appeared on the side of his cheek.
"Why you little" he said drawing his own wand. "Expillarimus."
Auria had been preparing for this. "Protego" she said lazily.
The spell reversed and Snape's wand flew high into the air, landing in the midst of the crowd that had now gathered to watch.
Auria pointed her wand at his chest and said, "Incendio."
Snape's robes burst into flames and he began rolling around on the ground trying to put them out. By the time they were extinguish Snape's shirt had been completely burnt off.
Auria glared at him, her eyes full of hate.
"Searus" she said again, slicing her wand through the air.
Snape cried out in pain, for a gash spanning the entire length of his bear chest, had just appeared. Blood began to ooze from the wound and stain his robes.
"Reducto" she cried slamming Snape into the stone wall behind them.
A new cut on his head began to bleed and his left arm hung at a strange angle. Auria glided over to him, her eyes narrowed, wand pointed straight at his heart. Snape looked up at her terrified. The crowd was silent, waiting with bated breath to see her next move.
"Exuio" she said in a whisper. Snape suddenly screamed in pain and clutched his head. Auria stopped the spell and grinned, watching him lie on the ground trembling. Moving closer, she now towered over him, laughing as his frightened eyes searched for a professor.
"Thought I'd give you a taste of your own medicine" she said in a high cold voice "You filthy pathetic coward." Auria glanced down at his left forearm, which he quickly hid behind him.With one final sneer she turned on her heel and swept out of the courtyard.
Sirius caught up with her just inside the school. He could practically smell the power and hate that emanated from her. They walked through the halls, not heading in any specific direction. Sirius held her hand in support although he doubted she needed any.
"Ms. Jacobs" cried an extremely angry voice from behind them.
She and Sirius stopped and turned around.
"Yes?" she asked coolly.
"Did you hex Mr. Snape out there?" Professor Verge asked pointing out the window.
"I might have" she said in a defiant tone, gazing at him with emotionless eyes.
His eyes were full of confusion. "And what on earth possessed you to do such a thing?" he demanded.
"I had my reasons" she replied, her voice rising in anger. But before Verge could speak again she turned around and continued marching down the hall.
"How dare you turn your back on a teacher!" he called to her in anger.
Auria stopped just before the corner. She turned around, looked Verge straight in the eye and in a cold cruel tone said, "Watch me."
With that she and Sirius turned the corner and disappeared out of sight.
"What did you lose?" Auria asked stretching her arms.
"I can't find my charms notes from yesterday's class and we have a test today" Lily replied her voice rising in panic.
