Chapter 9:
Adalia walked through the hallways only to be stopped by the screams of several girls and boys. She ran down the hallway and into the great hall where her mouth dropped open. At the Slytherin table, each and every person's skin had turned into gold and red stripes. For the boys it was worse. Their clothes had turned into red skirts and gold shirts with their robes writing and rewriting the words "Slimy Slitherins" in large cursive gold lettering on the back. Adalia clasped her hand over her mouth as the Slytherins ran out of the great hall, shoving her to the ground. She burst out laughing as she watched them.
"Can I help you up?" asked an out of breath voice. Adalia turned to see Sirius, James, Remus, and Peter standing behind her. Sirius had gained enough composure to help Adalia up while the other three were howling with laughter. Adalia decided to join in. In fact, the rest of the school was chiming in on the fiasco. Adalia didn't even ask how it had happened. She simply laughed harder.
The Slytherins did not show up for their first lesson and when they did finally show their faces again, their skin was a bright red from scrubbing so hard which matched the now somewhat smeared gold and red stripes that still vaguely showed. Lucious kept glaring at the marauders throughout the day. Adalia had a feeling he was not happy in the least. She had a bad feeling about what he was going to do.
At the end of the day, Adalia found the four boys in the library after dinner. Sirius smiled at her as she sat down. Just then Lucious walked in followed by his enormous sidekicks Crabbe and Goyle. Adalia sighed. This was not going to end well.
"Think your funny don't you, you stupid git." Lucious sneered at them, Sirius in particular.
"Don't know how to take a joke very well now do ya Malfoy?" Sirius said calmly although Adalia could feel his whole body tighten. Lucious pointed his wand directly at Sirius. Adalia looked around for the librarian who was no where to be found. Her eyes widened slightly and she gulped.
"What are you gonna do? Hex me?" he asked. Adalia now felt him pulling her to be behind him.
"Or maybe he's gonna get those stupid oaf's to try and beat us up. That would be a laugh." James remarked. Lucious muttered something under his breath and Sirius's eyes got wide and his body still. Adalia gasped. She had heard what Lucious had said. It was one of the forbidden curses. She stood up and pointed her wand at Lucious, noticing James and Remus had done the same.
"Let him go now!" Adalia said trying not to shout. Lucious turned to face her and then shrugged and lifted the curse. Sirius fell to the ground panting. Adalia knelt next to him and then glared up at Lucious.
"Get out," she said shaking with fury. Lucious simply smirked.
"No, I think ill stay and see if he makes it through." He said smugly. Adalia's face burned with anger. She shot up and punched him across the face sending him backwards.
"Bloody Hell!" he yelled but Adalia wasn't listening. She was already kneeling back down with Sirius. James and Remus had taken over cursing Lucious and the two monsters that now defended him. Sirius lay unconscious on the floor.
"Come on Sirius. Come on!" she said placing both hands on his chest and shaking him slightly. She felt tears streaming down her face as she lay it down on his chest on top of where her hands lay. Her head shot up again as she saw a bright light emitting from the palms of her hands. She dared not move them. The boys had stopped fighting to look at her. When the light had faded out, Sirius's eyes began to open.
"Sirius?" Adalia asked softly. Sirius looked at her and sat up. Adalia gulped.
"What happened?" he asked and turned to see Lucious backing up and out of the library. James and Remus had stopped paying attention and were now staring at Adalia.
"I.I better go. I should go to bed. Goodbye." She said grabbing her bag and running out of the library. She was sure that James and Remus would tell Sirius what had happened. Great. Now she was a freak. Someone for everyone to gawk at. She fell onto her bed crying. All the other girls were already asleep. Finally, after not being able to cry anymore, Adalia fell asleep clutching her pillow.
