Chapter 6:
When Adalia walked back into Hogwarts they were confronted by Lily who had
an annoyed look on her face. Adalia gave her a smile and Lily seemed to be
relieved at the sight of her.
"Oh hello Adalia.and Sirius." She said now eyeing them suspiciously. Sirius
began once again to shift uncomfortably.
"Well I better get going." He said and gave Adalia a quick wave then headed
off in the direction of the Great hall for breakfast. Adalia waved back and
then turned to lily who was looking at her skeptically.
"Hey there Lily." Adalia said with a smile. "You ready for your O.W.Ls?"
Lily sighed. "Not nearly. I was actually wondering if you wanted to study
with me. My other friends seem to be to preoccupied with where they are
going this summer instead of studying at all." Lily said with a huff.
Adalia laughed.
"Sure I would love to. I need all the help I can get with Potions." Adalia
said.
"No kidding." Said lily and they both giggled. They began to walk and talk
down the hallways about their different classes. Lily seemed easy to talk
to and really sweet. In other words, the exact opposite of what Adalia
expected. She had an awesome sense of humor which you would have never
guessed to be there by the way she yelled at James when he picked on that
disgusting ruthless boy called Severus Snape. Adalia snickered silently to
herself.
They turned a corner still chatting and laughing. Suddenly Lily shut up and
groaned. Adalia looked forward to see what in the world lily was groaning
at. It was none other than Lucious Malfoy and his two dumb sidekicks Crabbe
and Goyle. Adalia sighed as they walked towards each other. She prayed they
would just keep on walking but, being who they were, of course he would
have to stop.
"Well, well, well. Look who it is. Little Lily Evans and.who might you be?"
he asked staring at Adalia. Adalia stood tall squaring her shoulders.
"No one you need to concern yourself with." She said folding her arms. He
smirked and reached out a hand to her hair. She slapped it away.
"Don't touch me." She said, her eyes narrowing. Lucious rubbed his hand
slightly, his smirk wider now.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you. You don't know what you are getting into
if you try and fight me." He said.
"We know exactly what we are doing Malfoy so get lost." Lily said taking
out her wand. But before she even had it all the way out, Lucious had his
out and pointing straight at Lily.
"Don't tempt me Evans." He said still calm but with a small hint of anger
in his eyes. Lily stood there and didn't even flinch. Instead she stared
him straight in the eyes. Lucious put his wand down.
"You will get what's coming to you Evans. And as for you," he said turning
to Adalia, "Ill deal with you later."
With that Lucious turned and left down the hallway leaving Adalia and Lily
standing there. Lily rolled her eyes.
"How vein can you get?" she muttered and began walking down the hallway
again. Adalia sighed and began to follow her to the direction of the
Library.
As they entered Adalia realized her quill was missing.
"Shoot I must have dropped my quill when.that thing came and talked to us.
Ill be right back lily." Adalia said and lily nodded.
She ran down to where they had the little gathering but saw nothing. She
looked all around until she heard a soft low voice coming from around the
corner.
"Looking for this?" It was Malfoy and in his hand he twirled her quill.
"Give it back Malfoy." Adalia said with a sigh. She didn't feel like
getting in a fight. Lucious smirked.
"Oh its not that easy. By the way I never got your name." he said.
"I didn't give it." She said simply crossing her arms.
"Ah that's right. Now I remember where I have seen you. This morning you
were with that pitiful Sirius Black." Lucious said with a chuckle.
"Shut up Malfoy. You don't know what you are talking about."
"Oh but I do. He is nothing more than a pitiful child who doesn't know what
he is doing with his life. He shames the Black family name."
Adalia's hands were clenched along with her jaw. Lucious's smirk widened
more. That was the last straw. She had, had enough. Without another thought
her hand jerked up and smacked him across the face sending him stumbling
backward.
"Bloody Hell!" he said taking out his wand and pointing it straight at her
while regaining his balance. "You ever do that again Adalia you wont see
the light of day again!" he shouted. Adalia smirked. She didn't care what
he said. She had wanted to do that ever since she first saw him. It felt
good.
"Don't smirk at me you little girl! Ill teach you some respect!" he said
and her eyes widened slightly.
"You wont be doing anything." Said a voice from around the corner. Sirius
walked over with his wand stretched and pointed at Lucious.
"Come to protect your precious girlfriend?" he asked, his smirk now a
twisted smile that made Adalia cringe. "I don't know why a girl like her
would ever want a stupid git like you. Especially a Ravenclaw. Thought you
would have better sense than that. No matter. I will have you in no time.
Good day." He said and stalked off in the other direction. Adalia watched
him go and then turned to Sirius.
"Thanks." She said softly, "I thought he was going to hurt me."
"He probably was. You alright?" he asked brushing a strand of hair off
Adalia's face. She nodded.
"I better get going though." she said and turned to go but Sirius grabbed
her arm. She turned around and looked at him.
"I."he began but cut off, "Just be careful."
Adalia smiled and hugged him whispering, I will, in his ear and then turned
and walked back to the library
