Chapter 25: Summer
Sirius sat on the railing of James's balcony. He saw James's owl flutter in its cage. 'Stubborn woman.' Sirius thought bitterly.
A loud thumping was heard outside the door. James suddenly rushed in and slammed the door. A loud scratching could be heard on the other side of the door.
"Back you demons Back!" James yelled at the door. Sirius raised an eyebrow and slid off the railing.
"What was that all about?" Sirius asked looking at the door. James was panting hard and just stared at him for a minute or two, regaining his breath.
"Ms. Heath, an old friend of my mothers came over." James said shuddering slightly.
"Sorry prongs, I have no idea who that is." Sirius said leaning back against the railing, stretching his back.
"Shes a demon woman who has never had a date in her entire life. She lives a home. Alome. With a million dogs. And since they are all the spawn of satan they chased me around for a good half an hour." James said remembering the wild chase.
"Sounds like fun." Sirius said motioning to James's pants. James looked down and saw that from the knee down was completely ripped to shreds.
Remus sat in a chair with sunlight pouring onto his head and giving him light which to read by. He finished the book and stretched out on the chair and then looked around. His thoughts drifted to school and then Sarah. He wondered what she was doing right now. The thing Remus loved most about Sarah was how different she was. She was different from all girls he had every met. She was very mellow and calm. He could sit and talk to her for hours, or he could sit with her in absolute silence and be totally comfortable with her. That's what he loved about her.
Serverus lay in his bed staring up at the ceiling. His father was gone but could be home at any minute. He could hear his mother upstairs cleaning and trying to get the house in order for her husband. Serverus always wondered why his mother didn't just leave and never come back. Serverus would have left a long time ago if it wasn't for his mother. Serverus knew that if he left her here his father would surely kill her. Serverus sighed and rolled onto his stomach. He couldn't wait to go back to school. He could return to Potions and Defense Against the Dark arts class. He could also see Faith again and talk to her. Serverus's mind lingered on the thought of Faith. This year he was going to do something he had only dreamed of doing before.
Faith put a chocolate frog in her mouth and laid down in the grass next to Lily and Sarah.
"Faith, if you dont watch it your going to eat all those chocolate frogs I got you for your birthday." Sarah said sitting up on her hands.The back door slid open and Petunia came out and stood on the porch.
"Halt who goes there!" Faith said mockingly sitting up on her hands and pushing her sunglasses to the top of her head.
"What do you want Petunia?" Lily asked sighing and running a hand through her hair.
"Try not to do any of your freaky school stuff. I've got friends over." Petunia said. Lily could see two heads trying to peek over Petunia's shoulder.
"How much are they geting paid?" Faith said flatly as she lay back down.
"Damn thats what I was going to say." Sarah said putting on a fake pout. Faith looked at Sarah, she rolled up her glasses and winked. Sarah winked back.
"I'm sorry Petty dear I have no idea what freak stuff your talking about." Sarah said looking innocent.. Petunias friends came out and stood on the porch.They were a sad looking bunch. The first girl was incredibly tall, she would be almost taller than Remus(I always figured he was the tallest). She was also very lanky and had a face that resembled that of a chimp. The other girl wasn't much better, she was short and lumpy. Her face looked almost identical to a cows and she even had a piece of gum in her mouth which she smacked annoyingly.
"Yes you do." Petunia snarled. Sarah still looked innocent. Lily lay back down and choose to ignore Petunia. Faith looked at the group and paused.
"How old are you girls? 11?" Faith asked raising an eyebrow.
"13." The fat girl snapped. Faith would have loved nothing more than to say 'Are you taking a tone with me?', but she knew that Sarah wanted to tease them. Instead Faith said sarcastically
"Hmm lovely." and laid back down.
"Afraid we're going to turn you into toads?" Sarah asked grinning.
"No..." The tall girl said but then they got silent ans shifted thier feet. Sarah just looked at them and said
"Boo!" Petunia and her friends jumped and ran inside. Not with a last snarl from Petunia as the girls cracked up laughing.
(A/N: A super short one I know. But I'm going to be adding the next chapter soon so hold on. What do you think Serverus is going to do?)
