Disclaimer: I only own Carly and her mom
Recap of last chapter:
"What's your name?" He said again pulling out his wand again. Carly didn't say anything. Dumbledore was about to say something when Sirius growled something under his breath that made James and Remus back up against the walls,
"Who?" Lily asked. Sirius' eyebrows furrowed in anger,
"Bellatrix Black."
Chapter 13: Unlucky 13
Enjoy:
Everyone in the room gasped.
"WAIT!" James yelled stepping forward to get a better look. Sirius held him back and stepped forward in his place,
"Hello dear cousin. Miss me?" Carly/Bellatrix said to Sirius.
"Why do you look like Carly?" Sirius asked,
"Carly who? Oh right your lover." Sirius growled, "That's really unattractive you know."
"And you would know all about unattractiveness wouldn't you Bella?" Sirius said now with his own wand pointed at Carly/Bellatrix.
"Miss. Black what are you doing in Caroline's body?" Dumbledore asked still keeping her limbs attached. She snorted,
"And I would tell you?" Dumbledore inched his wand closer, "Oh, I'm scared now. This isn't even my body."
"I will only ask again. I do know ways to hurt you and not Ms. Mullet." He said,
"Why, I'm on a mission for my Master." Dumbledore nodded and was about to say something when Sirius cut him off,
"I knew it! Your one of the little people who follows that snake man around! It was you who turned Regulas against me and now you're after my Carly! You little bi-"
"Mr. Black if you don't contain your self I will have to ask you to leave." Dumbledore said. James put his hand on Sirius' shoulder causing Sirius to give up, but still glare.
"What would Voldemort want with Carly?" Lily said for the first time. Carly/Bellatrix craned her neck to see who was talking,
"Well if it isn't the little mud blood. Brave you are for speaking his name. Or are you foolish?" She went on not waiting for an answer, "What would the Dark Lord want with the helpless non pure-blood? He really wants to get to-" All of a sudden Carly/Bellatrix screamed and landed on the floor unconscious. Dumbledore stood now looking at Sirius,
"I didn't do it." Sirius said holding up his hands.
"Neither did I." Said James behind Sirius. Dumbledore woke her up again and leaned over her examining. She just laid there with wide eyes. Sirius stood on his tip toes to look at her. She had her own blue eyes again and was trembling,
"What's going on?" She said, in Carly's voice. Dumbledore helped her up and sat back down. Carly followed suit looking at her friends faces.
"Ms. Mullet what do you remember doing yesterday?" Carly racked her brain,
"I can't remember anything from yesterday."
"What about the day before?" Carly again racked her brain,
"All I remember is umm…" She looked at Sirius. Sirius looked away not wanting to meet her eyes. "I had a game and Sirius uhh…asked me-"
"That's enough for now. Do you remember the dream you had?"
"Which one?"
"You've had more?"
"Two."
"What where they about." Carly thought for a second,
"The same thing. You-know-who would tease them and then kill them."
"Who are these people?"
"I don't know I've never met them. One was Benjy Fenwick and another I think was Dorcas. He killed them all, or at least had people kill them." Dumbledore thought for a second,
"Well, both of them are alive now. This means you didn't see anything…" He thought for a couple more minutes, "You all may leave now. I need to discuss some more things with Ms. Mullet." James led Lily out followed by Remus. Sirius looked at Carly, but when she turned to watch him leave he turned his head away and walked out without looking back. She cocked her head to the side,
"Why won't he look at me?"
"Maybe because you where just possessed by Bellatrix Black."
"What! Who's that?"
"Sirius' cousin."
"Sirius stop!" Lily shrieked backing up against the wall. He was in a really bad mood. He was throwing random things to the ground and smashing them. He had just pushed down a row of suit of armor almost hitting Lily with one. He turned to face her,
"Stop what Evans!" He was face to face with her growling.
"Let's go mate she didn't do anything." James said pulling Sirius away from Lily and directing him up the steps. Sirius pulled out of his grip,
"What the fuck Potter!"
"What the fuck Black!" James yelled back squaring up to Sirius. Sirius growled reaching for his wand, as did James.
"STOP!" Lily said running at both of them only to be stopped by Remus,
"Let them go." He said pulling her away out of the range of fire.
"What's going on Remus?" She asked still trying to get to James. Remus shrugged, and held on closely.
"What are you going to do now, huh? Kill me?" Sirius snarled in James' face,
"Do you want me too? What are you doing? Why are you acting like something crawled up your ass?"
"If your bitch of a cousin turned out to be your girlfriend you'd act like this too." He shot back not lowering his wand. James lowered his wand,
"Is that it? Just because she was possessed?"
"What would you do?" Sirius said now pushing forward. James thought for a second as he pocketed his wand not really paying attention that Sirius was pushing him backwards.
"Probably the same thing." Sirius smirked,
"That's what I thought." He turned and walked the opposite way of the common room. Before he walked out of sight Remus saw him kick over a vase and punch a painting.
"Misters' Lupin and Potter, and Ms. Evans what are you doing?" Came small a voice from behind James.
"Coming back from Dumbledore's office sir." Remus said pushing Lily forward. James turned to see Professor Flitwick looking up at him,
"Alright then off to bed." He said pushing them towards the Gryffindor tower. Once inside James turned towards the door again.
"What are you doing?" Lily asked.
"Going to find Sirius."
"Why? He'll probably end up killing you or something."
"Well then, if that's the case…" He went up to her and gave her a quick kiss and turned to leave saying, "See you in Hell Lils!" She rolled her eyes and went up to bed saying,
"Good-ni-morning Remus."
"Same to you Lily."
Sirius sprinted through the halls not knowing where he was going or what he was going to do. He looked at his watch; it was 3:47 am. Good, he thought sarcastically. Once he reached a tower he collapsed on the floor and put his head in his hands. That is where James found him a half an hour later.
"Padfoot?" James said sliding down next to his friend. Sirius looked up. His face was expressionless. "With the next thing I'm about to ask you, I am seriously going to think that Lily is having too much of an impact on me, but what's wrong mate?" Sirius let out a dry laugh, "I know that even if it was Carly, I would have to start doubting your antics."
"What?"
"Nothing." James sat there thinking about what to do next when Sirius just opened up,
"It's weird you know? Looking down into the eyes of the person you love and seeing your evil twisted bitch of a cousin's instead."
"You just said love."
"No I didn't."
"Yes, you did."
"When?"
"Just now. You said, 'Looking down into the eyes of the person you love,' does this mean ol' Padfoot's in love?"
"No, I didn't say love I said, 'Looking into the eyes of the person you like,' I will never be leashed like you." James rolled his eyes,
"Whatever. So what are you going to do?"
"What do you mean?"
"About Carly."
"Oh." Sirius shrugged.
"Nothing?"
"Good idea. I'll just ignore her completely and act like I never met her. Yeah that's right I'll just ignore her." That was not what James meant at all, but before he had a chance to say something Sirius stood up and offered his hand to his friend. They silently walked back to the tower, until Sirius said, "What do you think of Rachel?"
"Who?"
"The 6th year."
"Oh, is she the blonde easy one?" Sirius nodded and James shrugged this was going to be nasty.
Carly woke up to find herself in the infirmary. Alone. She looked around for a minute trying to remember what was going on. Then it all came back to her. She buried her head in the pillows and began to scream, "WHY ME!" A young medi-nurse rushed in with a cup of steaming liquid. "When can I leave?" Carly asked as she downed the cup.
"Right after you drink this. Breakfast starts in fifteen minutes. Your robes are on the night stand as with your books."
"Uh…thanks." The nurse nodded and hurried back to her office. Carly sighed and got dressed. On the way to Breakfast her mind wondered to Sirius' reactions to last night. She really didn't want to face him or her other friends for that matter. She took a deep breath and walked into the hall. Many people turned to look at her and many girls began to laugh. Carly grumbled something about stupid smuts as she sat down. They weren't there yet, so she began to pile food onto her plate realizing that she wasn't hungry. She was rolling at funny looking sausage around her plate when it seemed that all the useless banter in the hall stopped. She looked up to see Lily, James, Peter, a very pale looking Remus, and there he was. In all his glory and might was Sirius Black. Sirius charmingly smiled at all the girls who were pointing at him. That didn't cause as big of an uproar from the girls until he sat as far away from Carly as possible. Carly hung her head and grabbed her books to leave. As she passed them she held her head looking at nothing, but the door and how inviting outside the Great Hall was. Lily looked sadly as her best friend walked past not even making eye contact. She turned to look at Sirius who was flirting with some 6th year, but she saw that in the corner of his eye he watched Carly leave. Lily turned back to James who was sadly looking at his friend then at Carly. Remus stood,
"Unlike you three I have not given up on Carly." And with that he left to follow Carly out of the hallway.
"Wait up Remus." Lily said grabbing her bag. She didn't wait for James knowing what kind of situation he was in. Remus and Lily found Carly slumped against the door her head in her hands and her shoulders shaking. Before they even spoke to her she said something first,
"What did I even do?" She asked looking up at them her eyes dry, but blood shot. She stood up, "You know what I don't need this. If he thinks I willingly asked for his cousin to possess me then let him believe that. I can do so much better." Remus' eyes became wide and Lily walked over giving her a big hug. Carly shrugged her off, "I know you felt the same."
"What?" Lily said staring at Carly, "How could you even think that? I'm your best friend Carly. I would never leave you. Sirius is just blind; he can't see a good thing even if it danced naked in front of him." Remus laughed,
"Yeah he would." Carly and Lily rolled their eyes and walked into the class. During class Sirius scowled. This was not the reaction he wanted from Carly. Yes, last night he had thought and thought and didn't blame her one bit for the whole Bella thing. He actually wouldn't put it past that slug to try something. He just didn't know how to feel exactly. Sure he acted like he moved on, but he really didn't. Some part of his body was aching him to go up and hold her in his arms and tell her that everything was alright, even though it wasn't. Another part said that you needed to fight with her. She was just too damn perfect. No one could be a star quidditch player and be as smart as she was. Before her James was as close as it got. No one could be perfect, so they had to fight. AS he thought about it now it didn't make as much sense as it did earlier that morning. Whatever he thought brushing it off and trying to pay attention. I'm a bachelor again. Good…Wait…Good…?
I realize the chapter title has nothing to do with the chapter…oh well. Sorry about all the swear words...
Thanks for RR,
