Post 51

Christmas soon approached and Hogwarts became snowy white, the grounds were covered with layers of pearly white snow and the lake had frozen over, giving students a chance to skate.

I signed up when the passed the list on who was going home. It wasn't that I wanted to go back home, god no. Not back to father. The nasty little portion of my heart still detested him. James had invited everyone, including me, back to his house for Christmas. The Marauders were staying over. Lily was just coming to visit during Christmas... she told me she needed to sort some things out at home.

Open carriages, each drawn by a majestic white stallion awaited us after we were each let of one by one by the caretaker Argus Filch, who ticked our names off a little piece of paper. James, Peter, Remus, Sirius, Lily and I got into one carriage and the horse immediately cantered off, following the rest that had already moved across the snowy path that led to Hogsmeade.

The ride was entirely joyful. James passed around a bag of candy he had stocked during his trips to Hogsmeade.

On the train, it started to snow lightly. It was pleasantly warm and soon everyone began to feel drowsy which was quite rare when you're with the Marauders.

I got up and stepped carefully over feet. Everyone had fallen asleep and I decided to stretch my legs. I passed by several compartments of students. A couple of first years passed by singing Jingle Bells to themselves. Their voices trailed down the train and soon couldn't be heard any longer.

I glanced out the window. The sun had already begun to sink beneath the tree tops. A soft smile traced my lips as I leant against the window ledge of the corridor, looking out at the trees zipping past, and the cattle and sheep grazing.

I hardly had time to scream when I felt somebody grab me roughly from behind.

I struggled, kicking as a hand pressed against my mouth, muffling my screams. I was dragged into a compartment just behind.

I was turned and then the next thing I knew, my body hit the seat of the compartment. I twisted around and saw Avery locking the compartment door. I frowned at him as I hurried to get to my feet.

"What the hell are you doing?" I spat.

"We need to talk," he said calmly as he checked that the door was securely locked.

"Well, you could have asked rather than grab me by surprise!"

"You wouldn't have come even if I did ask you nicely would you? Anyway, I'm going to offer you a deal," he said in a business-like manner, pacing down the compartment. "You dump that worthless piece of trash and be mine again, and nothing bad will happen."

I scoffed. "What? You going to kill me? I don't love you okay? And there's nothing you can do about it. I'm sure there's another girl who's right for you."

I got ready to stand but gasped when he suddenly pounced on me. He pushed me back onto the seat with both hands against my shoulders. I screamed but he slammed his hand against my lips to muffle the sound. Breathing heavily, heart thumping wildly, I looked at him with frightened eyes. He just glared with the poison in his eyes.

"You don't understand. You played with my heart like a miserable toy," he breathed. "and then you left me and went back to Black. You don't think I'd just let that pass would you?"

This was all my fault. If I hadn't been so full of jealousy... I wouldn't have resorted to such measures. I shouldn't have gotten involved with him at all. I looked away. "How much would it cost for you to stay out of my life?"

"Money can't get you out of this one, doll," he smirked.

That was it. I was sick and tired of him pushing me around. Especially sick of him calling me doll!!! I raised my leg and kicked him hard where it hurt the most. He stumbled back and I quickly got up. He dropped onto the seat opposite, groaning. It left me just enough time to draw my wand.

I pointed it right at his chest and he froze.

"I'm telling you one more time," I warned dangerously. "Leave me alone. We have nothing to do with each other anymore. I swear if you lay another finger on me..." I paused. I didn't know what I'd do. I was so angry. I pressed the tip of the wand hard against his chest.

He just glared. I glared back. I flipped the hair that was hanging in front of my shoulders behind my back and spun around. I marched to the compartment door, whispered Alohomora and it clicked open. I slammed the door shut, not looking back.

I was fuming as I walked down the corridor. I took several deep breaths and closed my eyes for a while. He wasn't worth my time. And besides, being stressed thinking of him might result in zits. I laughed weakly at this thought and began headed towards my compartment, feeling an ultimate sense of independence and satisfaction.

Almost everyone except Peter was awake now. I dropped back into my seat, the one nearest the window, and sighed as I stared out into the rolling snowy white hills that once used to be bursting with bright green with spots of darker green from the bushes. Now everything was just white... and the sky was a stony gray with the sun shining as hard as it could but failing, it's rays just barely piercing through the mist.

"Where did you go?" Asked Sirius quietly.

"Restroom," I replied just glancing at him.
