Disclaimer: I don't know if you haven't noticed this but....I'm not JK Rowling. Far from her, actually...so do you really think I'd claim her characters? No...I do own Roz.
AN- Correct me if you disagree with this story, I don't care. I like the idea, and I didn't know anything about his family...so I made it up. Including his mother and father's name...of course, if anyone DOES know their name, I'd appreciate you telling me! Thanks! And...does anyone know a good beta? Btw, Sorry I forgot to tell everyone...but at the begging of the first three chapters...there were flashbacks. So, to clear things up, I'll explain. Flashbacks are italicized...everything else is Christmas break...Roz is 15, in her fifth year..The marauders are 17 in their 7th. Also, I may change the rating...sorry, no this will not be NC-17. The R rating will just be decided on what's going to happen in london...wiggles eyebrows Oops, I said too much!
Chapter 4: Fights
I was practically beaming with happiness four days later. Mother had called me into the kitchen a moment ago, and now we were rolling out cookie dough. My hands kneaded the dough while my eyes were glued to the window that overlooked our side yard.
Remus would be emerging from the cellar door any moment. My grin widened even more as I violently pressed my hand into the substance. From the corner of my eye, I could see my mother giving me a strange look. But, I dismissed it and went back to kneading my section of the dough.
That is, until I looked down and saw that it was completely distroyed. Holes were pressed into it from my fingers and I was able to see the kitchen counter on the opposite side. "Oops."
"Why don't you let me do this, and you can cut them." Her words flew in one ear and out the other as I spotted four boys walking toward the house. "Hey, mum."
"Yes?"
"Can I go to London to do a bit more shopping for presents? Hogsmeade didn't have alot." I turned to look at my mothers face. She had a fingerprint of flour streaked across her tan cheek. It almost made me smile, but I stopped myself.
"I don't care. Just, ask your brother if he'll take you." I rolled my eyes, hopped off the stool and made my way around to the side door. Before Remus and his friends could even step onto the back step, I walked through the door, shutting it behind me.
My loving, and oh so dear brother rolled his eyes at the sight of me. "Not now, Roz. I'm not in the--"
"About going to London..." I started, a smirk lifting the edge of my lips. Sirius ducked his head as if he knew already what I was going to say. Remus groaned and reached past me to open the door. I leaned back against it and stared my brother in his two hazel eyes. "Mum said I could go..But, apparently I'm not old enough to go alone.."
"Forget it! I'm not taking you."
"Alright." I said, bringing my hand up to examine my fingernails. "I didn't want to do this...But if you don't go along with me...Your four best friends will be arrested for being illegal animagi. And, just to make you pay...That girl you like will more than likely find out about your lycanthropy." My eyes hardened as I looked over my fingers to the four boys.
Remus growled and gripped the door handle harder. "Oh yea? Well, lets just see what Mum and Dad have to say about it."
"They can't do anything to stop me from telling anyone. All the torture in the world wouldn't." We shared a moment of glaring at one another, unblinking. I could tell his friends were getting quite nervous. And as for Remus, he couldn't take the fact that he was getting stared down by a girl. He couldn't win.
As if he figured this out as almost as fast as I did, his shoulders drooped and I held my chin higher. "I knew you'd see it my way...So, tomorrow it is, then? See you all bright and early!" With a smile, I blew a kiss to them and climbed up the stairs and into the house. Mum was out of the kitchen now. I spotted her out of the corner of my eye as I approached the stairs.
With a letter in one hand, and a smile on her face, I figured the letter must've came from Grandmama. Oi...I kind of wished Grandmama would forget about her daughter and son-in-law and the entire family could forget about christmas spent at her house...But, I could clearly see that she had invited us.
As my foot hit the bottom step, Mum turned to smile at me. "What did your brother say? I hope he wasn't bothered by it." Her lips pursed, as did mine. I shook my head. "No, he said he'd love to take me." Why do I never tell her the truth? How hard is it to say 'Mum, your son hates me and wishes I would die.' Not hard at all!
"Well, Mother's asked us to visit, so I think we shall on Christmas eve. Be sure to tell Remus, would you dear? I have to run to the bakery for a moment. Oh, also, there will be some cookies on the stove if you..." I raced up the stairs without hearing another word.
James winced as Remus slammed his door shut. It seemed to rattle the entire manor, which was a difficult feat to accomplish. The boy was seething with anger. No, he was at the very bottom of the hellish pit that was anger. His entire essence was the word. Which made James wince again.
Remus was calm usually. Never hardly spoke, wrapped in books, and always polite, he was. But, all it took was one snide remark, or in this case, a blackmail attempt, from Rosalyn and he was madder than hell.
"She's such a little bitch."
"Oh, bugger off, Moony. There's nothing we can do but what she says." James could always count on Sirius to say what everyone else was thinking. He smiled faintly before turning to the red-faced werewolf. He was pacing, not a good sign.
"Why does she hate me? I've never done anything to her!" At this, Peter snickered loudly. He quickly covered his mouth and looked away, suddenly fascinated by the tree branch that stretched across Remus' large window. James sighed and stood from his chair. "That's like saying Hogwarts never taught us anything. You've done plenty to her."
Sirius nodded, tossing the magazine to the floor. "You beat her up last summer and then blamed it on her falling off of her broom."
"You call her names constantly." Peter added, looking away from his tree branch. James nodded again and threw his hands toward Remus, who was looking quite dumbfounded.
"Remus, you're her worst nightmare. I've never seen more hate between two people who are supposedly blood related."
"Yea, supposedly. I swear, I think she's from Jupiter."
"Actually, I'm from Venus." Each boy turned around with the speed of a cat's to see a smirking Rosalyn standing at her brother's bedroom door. "By the way, Mum just told me we're going to Grandmama's for Christmas Eve. So, if I were you," She pulled her eyes away from Remus to look at James. He looked away quickly and averted his eyes to the wall as his heart sped up a notch. 'What was that about?' He thought, trying not to let any of his friends see his reaction. "I'd get out while I still had a chance."
Sirius scoffed and he visibly relaxed. "Don't worry about us."
"How can you not be angry with her?!" Remus shouted, pointed a finger at his sister. "She's BLACKMAILING us!"
"Come off it, Remus. She just wants to go with us to London." Sirius wailed. Just like Potter, he was sick and tired of hearing Remus whine about his sister. Speaking of which, she was now beaming with satisfaction. It was her absolute lucky day. Might as well rub it in. "Uh oh, Remmy. Looks like your friends are forgetting where their loyalties lie. Remember boys, I'm the enemy." And with that said, she turned sharply on her heel and passed across the hall into her room.
"Now do you see what I mean? She's pure evil."
"Yea, and you're forgetting something." James said, flopping down in his seat with a deep sigh. "She's your sister. So, it must run in the family." Remus growled and collapsed onto the bed, bringing a pillow over his face before letting out a loud, howling scream.
