Chapter 2- A Helping Hand
Evi awoke to the other girls bustling around their dorm. The stupid, black, muggle alarm clock read 7:00 am in neon green letters. She groaned angrily, and hopped out of bed. Today she was supposed to meet someone by the initials of 'RJL' in the Library after lunch. She smirked slightly at the thought of someone actually wanting to have a conversation with her.
Trudging down to breakfast, hair still wet and sticking flatly to her face, Evi sat down at her table, and grabbed a few pieces of bacon, a scone, and some orange juice. In the middle of biting into her scone, the back of the Gryffindor table roared with laughter. They were all pointing at the two oak doors that led into the Great Hall. Standing there, covered in pink, red, and gold feathers, was her older(and shorter) brother. He was frowning, and when we walked, feathers would fall off behind him. He walked over to his sister, and sat directly in front of him. She was buttering her scone when he sat down. From that moment, everything went haywire. She dropped her knife and scone onto her plate, making a very loud clanking sound.
She stood up, and walked quickly over to the end of the Gryffindor table, and smacked her hand down on it. Sitting down right in front of her were Sirius Black, James Potter, Peter Pettigrew, and Remus Lupin. There was a girl sitting next to Remus with a Slytherin Badge and a small silver 'P' beneath it, but Evi didn't bother to notice who she was. By the look on her face, they could tell she was livid with anger. "That is IT! You ALL HAVE CROSSED THE LINE! YOU MAKE ME FALL! YOUR TORMENT MY BROTHER! AND YOU" she said pointing a pale finger with a black nail at Remus," YOU MR. PREFECT…YOU DON'T EVEN STOP THESE BOYS! YET ALONE HAVE I EVER SEEN YOU PUT A FOOT DOWN SAYING "Oh, James…that was wrong of you to do that to Sevilen and Severus. You should be ashamed."
That last part she tried to say in a stupid sounding boys voice. Just as she was about to pull her wand out, a old man's deep voice came from behind her, "Miss Snape. I would advise you to put that down." It was one of their professors, Professor Dumbledore. "If you would like to duel, might I say joining the dueling club. If you would like to settle this in a fight, please take this outside. She nodded at their professor and quickly turned around. With her finger again, she pointed at the three of them who tormented her the most, and hissed "You three. Outside. Right now. We are going to settle this once and for all."
They walked out of the Great Hall, out the Entrance Hall, and down in front of the large beech tree on the castle's grounds. Standing in front of it, Sevilen turned around, placed her hands on her hips, and glared at them. Shrugging off her robe, Evi threw it aside, and said, "C'mon…one of you…Scared, Potter? (AN: where have we heard that before?)" James snorted loudly, and said, "Yeah, you wish (AN: again…where is that from?, Vile. But, why waste time fist fighting a girl." Peter and Sirius mumbled "Yeah" under their breaths, and promptly turned on their heels. Pulling out her black wand, she recited, "IMPEDIMENTA!" Three red jets of light flew from the end of her wand, straight at the boys. Falling forward on their faces, the boys yelled, "OW! SHIT!"
As he was trying hard to turn over, James was saying, "You no-good Slytherin bit-" "Nah, ah, ah, Potter. I wouldn't say anything else." Evi quickly cut him off, smirking. She promptly kicked them over with the toe of her shoe, and spat on them. The spell was starting to wear off, and the boys soon regained movement. She backed away slowly, watching the three get up. Turning around for a second time, James said something to Sirius and Peter, and yelled, "NOW!" Without time to react, Evi found Sirius, and Peter trying to hold onto her arms. They were both actually quite strong, and were quickly bruising her pale skin. With a cry of anguish, Evi cried, "Let me go….ouch…your hu-hurting m-m-meh." A few tears escaped her eyes, and slid down her face, leaving a small stream.
"So, boys. What should I do to her? Make her a lizard? or maybe give her an even bigger nose. NO! I have it! Let's make her a chicken just like her brother. Now, that's it." Before James could recite his incantation, through tear flowing eyes, Evi saw a blurred image of another boy. "Stop! JAMES! I SAID STOP! OH BLOODY HELL!" Remus was running straight at James, and tackled him. "Remus, Remus…REMUS GERROF ME! GET OFF ME YOU STUPID WER-" Remus covered James' mouth, and gave him the death glare.
"No James. I won't. What has she done to you? She never hurt you? Well maybe, but that doesn't give you the right to torment her! She is a girl, a girl who was sticking up for her brother." He got off of James, and turned around to his other friends, "You two better let her go before I turn you into chickens." None of the boys had ever seen Remus so mad. Maybe the only time was when it was getting near the Full Moon, but that was only once a month.(AN: It's like FMS[Full Moon Syndrome] if you know what I mean)
Soon, Peter and Sirius exchanged glances, and let go of Evi. She crumpled to the ground, sobbing, and caressing her arms. They were deeply bruised. "C'mon boys. Let's leave this freak here." James walked off back to the castle. Sirius and Peter followed, but called Remus, "Oi, Lupin! Les' go!" Remus shook his head and yelled back, "No. you guys go on without me. I'm going to help her."
Sevilen was looking at Remus as if he was the ghost of Christmas Past. Her brow furrowed, and with a terse, and shaky voice, she said, "I'm fine. Now go on with your mangy mutt friends, and leave me here." A few tears escaped her green eyes, and she hid her face in her hands. "Why…why are they always like that…Why Rem-m-mus…I haven't done anything to them." She looked up, and gazed into his dark brown eyes. There was something about him; something mysterious. Something Evi longed to find out.
"Well, James…that's just James. He is always like that because he wants the attention. He wants the attention from Lily Evans. Sirius and Peter follow along, and to reply to your comment earlier, I do sometimes make them feel pretty low. Sometimes they go to far. In this case, trying to hurt you." She was still crying, and did the unexpected. She threw her arms around Remus' neck, and started to cry into his shoulder. He was stunned for a second, then reluctantly patted her back. "There, there Sevilen. It's alright. Now," he said, grabbing her by the shoulders firmly, "let's take you back up to the castle. I'll help you back up." She nodded, and sniffed. Remus put a hand underneath her arm, and hoisted her up to her feet. He then threw an arm over his shoulders, and began to walk. "Thank you. Thank you so much Remus." she whispered. "Any time, Sevilen, any time."
Eventually, they reached the Great Hall again, but when they arrived, Sevilen pushed Remus away from her, "Get away from me you arrogant bastard. Don't touch me again!" She yelled this loud enough so her friends could hear. Remus raised an eyebrow, and was confused. Hadn't he just seen this girl look helpless? Had he just not helped her back up from the castle grounds into the Great Hall? He shrugged it off, and walked over to his friends, who were looking pretty angry.
"Get away from me Remus." James spat. "Don't make me report you James. I swear I will confiscate the map and cloak, and take it straight to Professor Dippet. Don't threaten me again, and don't ever, and I mean EVER threaten Sevilen again. She hasn't done anything to you." Sirius and Peter's mouths dropped, and James responded quickly, "Did I just hear you say, Sevilen? What do you mean 'she hasn't done anything to you'?! She has too! She kneed me in the crotch yesterday. TODAY SHE JINXED US TO FALL FLAT ON OUR FACES! OH YES REMUS! SHE HASN'T DONE ANYTHING TO US!" Remus rested his forehead in his hand, and shook it, "Someday maybe you will learn that not everyone is looking for a fight. It may even help you with your struggle with Evans."
Sevilen jogged over to her friends and brother, and sat down in between Severus and Bellatrix. Before she started to talk with her flesh and blood of the opposite gender, Evi turned to Bellatrix and said, "Bella, your cousin is a bastard. Look what he and his friend did to me." Showing her concerned friend, she frowned. "They hurt me." Bella replied, "That's the way Sirius and his friends are. They are like that filthy mudblood, Evans. –shudders- I hate that priss." "Same here." replied Evi
Turning to her brother she noticed there were a few feathers still stuck to him, and there was a strange girl sitting next to him. She had very long reddish brown hair, a smatter of freckles across her face, and she was considerably shorter than Sevilen. "Oi, you. Yeah, you next to Sevy. Who in the name of Merlin's spotted under pantaloons are you?" The girl away from Severus, whom she was currently chatting with, and responded to Evi.
"Oh, hi. My name is Selena, Selena Jackie Neale". Evi noticed her hands and face were just as pale as she and Sevy were. Her nails were painted black too, and she had heavy eye makeup on. "Lemme clear things up for ya, Evi." said Severus. "Lena is a Goth too, and she hates Gryffindors too. She's also a prefect Haven't you ever noticed her before? She's on the team with you." Evi thought she recognized that girl. She was one of the chasers. Evi, who was the Slytherin Seeker, never really noticed. She always concentrated on the golden ball. "Oh okay. Sounds good." she replied.
Something then hit Evi like a hammer to the back of the head. That same girl was conversing with Remus Lupin, one of her tormentors. "SEVY! This girl has been talking with the enemy. DIDN'T YOU SEE?!" she exclaimed. Severus raised an eyebrow, and looked over at Lena, "Really?" he asked. "Yeah, only because I wanted to tell my cousin something." she replied. "And your cousin is…" Evi asked, impatiently. "Remus Jack Lupin…Remus…yeah…the one you told off a while ago." Evi narrowed her eyes, and glared at Selena with murder showing in them. Something clicked in her brain at the sound of Remus Jack Lupin. It sounded a bit like 'RJL'. Evi pushed it back into a dark corner of her mind, and kept staring. Lena was scared slightly, until Severus said with a reassuring voice, "Evi, its okay. She isn't going to be all mean like them." Sevilen snorted angrily, and walked off in a huff. On her way out she bumped into Remus. "Watch were your going, Lupin. Some people have better things to do such as getting to their common room, and studying." she growled. "Sorry, I'm just trying to get the Library." he replied.
It was after lunch, and Evi remembered she had to go to the Library to meet that mystery person. She quickly pulled her shoulder length hair back into a ponytail, and walked into the Library. Books were fluttering above her head, heading for their place on the shelves. She walked to the center, and remembered the darkest part was to the right. Turning right, she followed many tall book cases, and found the end of the shelves. Before walking into the little place where the table was, Evi took a deep breath, and walked forward. When she turned, she growled slightly at whom she saw.
