Hello everyone! This is my very first Harry Potter fanfiction, so please be kind when reviewing. This story idea probably has been done before, but don't yell at me just yet. I'm pretty much writing this story just so I can write the sequel, which is probably a bit more original than this one is.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters from Harry Potter (unfortunately) but I do own the people who are not in Harry Potter, which would be Tawny, Kate and Erin. Oh...and about the rating...let's just say Tawny can have a pretty foul mouth. Heh.
"See ya next year, ya mother fuckers!" A female's voice boomed through out the arena. The crowd cheered as the owner of the voice raised her guitar above her head and beat it several times into the stage and then hurled the shattered instrument into the audience. "Goodnight!"
Tawny Weiland waved one last time to the audience and headed backstage with two of her closest friends, and band mates, Kate Duritz and Erin Cornell.
"God, it's good to be alive," Erin said to herself more than to anyone else and sighed. She was a plump, yet gorgeous, blonde who played the drums in their band, which was called Gypsy.
"I don't know," Kate said with a grin on her face, looking back and forth between Erin and Tawny, "How are we going to top ourselves this time, guys?"
"Very carefully?" The redhead, that would be Tawny, suggested, giving Kate a shrug.
The brunette narrowed her eyes at Tawny and hissed "Gee, Tawn, would it kill you to enjoy yourself just for one night?"
"Quite possibly, Kate," Tawny smirked at Kate who rolled her eyes.
Erin looked back and forth between Tawny and Kate, fearing yet another fight was about to erupt between the two, "Um, shouldn't we be going to the party now? Come on, we just finished our tour! We should be out celebrating!"
"Yes, I agree!" Kate nodded, a smile returning to her face when Kate referred to the party being thrown for them at a club not far from the arena, "Coming Tawny?"
"I'll meet you there," Tawny lied. She had no intention to attend anything to do with Gypsy for a long time. Kate seemed to sense this and eyed her doubtfully.
Eight Years Ago
"Tawny this has got to stop!" Kate shouted at Tawny, who had come late and drunk, to a recording session. "What are you, my mother?" Tawny slurred, swaying on her feet.
"Tawny, listen to me, Erin and I suffered the same loss you did, but that didn't make us quite living, like you did! Damn it, I'm trying to help you! Let me help you! I want my friend back!" Kate grabbed Tawny by the shoulders, trying to force Tawny to see the light.
"You can't have her back, Tawny spat venomously at Kate, pushing her away, "She's dead!"
Tawny stormed past Erin, who had remained silent, as always, and slammed the door behind her as she left.
Present Tense
Tawny sighed after she apparated home. She lived in a modest home in the country, that only one person could find, and that was her secret- keeper.
Tawny yawned as she walked down the hallway, leaving a trail being her: Her ripped concert robe, corset, pants, etc.
She walked into her bathroom, turned the shower on, and hoped in. The warmed water felt good against her tired, aching body. Eight months of touring had taken a toll one her.
'Not as young as I used to be,' Tawny thought to herself and sighed.
After the relaxing shower, Tawny changed into her pajamas and decided it was time for a meal. She strolled into her kitchen, thinking about the party.
'Kate's going to roast me for this one,' but decided she just really didn't care anymore. For years Tawny had been known as the party animal of the group, her fans had even dubbed her Tawny Wild-One. But it all seemed to loose its appeal over the years.
"Oh well," Tawny said to herself, opening her refrigerator and taking out an orange.
"Not out partying?" A voice asked just after Tawny closed the door to her refrigerator. Tawny let out a shout, jumping about three feet in the air, and dropping her orange on the floor. She then slowly turned and glared into her fireplace, "Hello, Remus."
"Sorry!" Remus Lupin smiled apologetically up at Tawny from her fireplace, "I didn't mean to startle you!"
"Oh sure you didn't!" Tawny laughed loudly, and smiled at him. Remus Lupin was one of the few people Tawny knew who could not piss her off, even if he tried. Tawny knelt down in front of the fireplace, "how are you, Remus?"
"Oh," Remus said tiredly, his eyes opening wide as he answered her, "I'm fine. Did you get my owl?"
"The one about Voldemort returning?" Tawny asked and Remus nodded, "yeah."
"Well, the Order of the Phoenix has gotten back together," Remus explained, both she and Remus had belonged to the order the first time Voldemort was around, "I didn't want to owl you that information because you're hard to find when on tour, and if it got intercepted..."
"I understand," Tawny sighed, feeling guilty. She hadn't exactly been the greatest friend to Remus over the years. She was always on tour and doing stuff with her band that sometimes, unfortunately, she let her career get in the way of important things, such as her friends. Also, ever since James and Lily died...and Sirius Black had been taken to Azkaban.... Tawny had turned cold inside. If it weren't for Remus, and of course Erin and Kate, Tawny was convinced she would not be alive.
"So," Remus continued, "I...well we... were wondering if you would be interested in joining us again."
"We?" Tawny asked curiously.
"Oh, you know," Remus explained, looking rather nervous, "Me, Dumbledore of course, the Weasleys, Mundungus, Mad-Eye, Snape, oh and Tonks as well."
"Tonks?" Tawny asked, as an excited smile grew across her face. She hadn't seen Tonks in the longest time, and she mentally cursed herself for not paying her a visit lately. "Well, sure! Count me in!"
"Great!" Remus grinned, seemingly in relief, "Um, how about tomorrow I bring you to headquarters? I know this is sort of late notice, but..."
"That's fine, Remus!" Tawny laughed.
"Oh, good!" He grinned at her again, "What do you say I meet you at your house tomorrow and we apparate there together?"
"Okay, that sounds good," Tawny nodded, "What do you say 10:00AM?"
"Great!" Remus replied, "Anyhow, duty calls. Get some rest tonight. I'll be at your house at ten o'clock sharp!"
"All right," Tawny yawned, she hadn't realized how tired she was until Remus told her to 'get some rest', "See you later, Remus."
"Bye, Tawny!" And with a small pop Remus's head disappeared from the fire. Tawny sighed and stood up. She picked her discarded orange up off the floor and set it on her kitchen counter, no longer hungry.
Tawny closed her eyes, as she leaned against the counter, she could hear her own voice echoing in her ears, "Oh, God! No! LILY! JAMES!"
"Stop it" Tawny told her self opening her eyes, trying to shake the thought out of her mind.
Then, as she closed her eyes again, she envisioned herself clutching her best friend to her, as she screamed and cried in agony for what seemed like hours.
"Stop it," Tawny growled at herself, out loud, "Don't think about it, it happened a long time ago.
She closed her eyes again, this time she saw a man with dark black hair thrashing around as he was being dragged away by ministry officials, screaming he was innocent. The man she once thought was a murderous traitor, Sirius Black.
"STOP IT!" She told herself more forcefully this time. She looked up and saw her reflection in the window in front of her. It was dark outside, and she could see that stars. She hadn't looked at the stars in a long time.
She found out the truth a little over a year ago. Remus told her who the spy really was. A man who she once thought could not harm a fly. A man who she had stuck up for on countless occasions when his own friends teased him, and he got that teary look in his eyes, as he wrung his little hands, looking down, his chubby face looking so hurt. Oh, how she pitied him then. Now she knew who he truly was.
"Get a grip," she told herself, looking at her reflection, "You're nearly thirty-six years old."
Peter Pettigrew.
She could control the anger boiling inside her no longer. The first item she grabbed was a wooden chair that moments ago had been sitting at her kitchen table. She sent it flying into the wall across the room.
Well, that's all for now, tell me what you think by kindly reviewing, and please, do keep in mind this IS my first Harry Potter fanfic!
