(Ellie's point of view.)
Oh dear. I can't remember anything since I left History of Magic. I really hope I didn't do something evil. Ah. Sirius is hanging on to a ledge underneath the Divination classroom window. Judging from his expression, I might have pushed him. "You just pushed me out of the window." Ok, I had pushed him out the window. "I could just leave you there." "Fine." "Ok then." "all right then." "Perfect." "Do that." "I will." "Good." I turned to leave. "But you can't just leave me here." "You wanna' bet." "Ok, you could technically leave me here, but I'd rather you didn't!" I turned, walked over to the window and looked out at him. "You going to have to trust me." "BUT YOU JUST PUSHED ME OUT OF A WINDOW!" By now people were staring. I knew I had to think fast. 'cos like a teacher would be coming soon. "Um… Sirius. A teacher's going to be here in a minute." "Whatever you do. The teacher does not go out the window." Now that annoyed me. I wasn't in infants! "Well, there is a really easy way to get down." "I know, I know. I let go…" "You fall 100ft…" "And I go splat." "Yeah, basically." "Er… what's plan B?" I grinned. "You trust me." "and what exactly did you have in mind?" "Um…" "WAND. GRAB. NOW." I grabbed my wand. "I got you that far. NOW what are you going to do?" It's not my fault what happened next. I just said the first thing that came into my head. "Accio Sirius." He came flying in, whacking his head off the window. McGonagall and Nightshade came. "Mr Black. Are you alright?" "I am now." he said, then collapsed. Blast! Now who's going to help me talk my way out of this? James came running in. "Sirius! Someone has fallen out of the window. Ah…" "Renverate." McGonagall pointed her wand at Sirius. Sirius opened his eyes. I backed off, kind of edging towards the door. You know, Sirius is like twice my size and could probably kill me. "What happened? Mr Black answer me!" "I tripped over some books on the floor and Ellie was trying to help. Soz Professor." After checking that Sirius was alright the teachers left. I tried to go with them. "Ellie. Stop." I stopped and turned around. Great. Two Marauders, one of them ready to kill me. And may I just mention that these two were the ones I disliked the most. "What on earth…" "Shut up Prongs. You don't know what you're on about." I was hoping that they'd argue so I could slip away. I tried. Didn't work. "Like I said, Ellie. STOP." I stopped. "This had better be good Sirius, mate. I'm missing lunch here." James said. I rolled my eyes. Typical boy. Only thinking bout his stomach at time like this. A time like what? A time when Sirius is going to kill me. "Well…" "Uh-uh." "Well are you going to give me an explanation WHY you pushed me out the window?" "Um…no?" Sirius looked positively murderous. "She pushed you out of a window?" "Yes Prongs, she pushed me out of a window." "Like to kill you?" "I don't know Prongs. That's what I'm asking her." He turned back to me. Blast. I was almost out the door as well. Sirius locked the door. With magic obviously. "Will you take a seat?" "Um." "Very good use of vocabulary." "Hey! That's my line!" This was way weird. Sirius Black acting the perfect gentlemen. This was scarier than… I don't know. Something scary. "As I said, will you sit down?" It was more like an order than a question. I sat down on one of the stools. It hit me that this was like a movie. And don't the people who sit down in gangster movies get shot? "Well…" Sirius said icily (but politely, duh.) "Well what?" "Well what what?" That was James. I stared at him. "Get out James." Sirius glared. "You locked the door. I can't!" Sirius unlocked the door. I would have made a run for it but both of them were in the way. "You can now." James walked out. Boy, was he in a sulk. "Talk. In a minute the teachers will come up asking what we're doing. And they will ask more questions than I can make up answers for. Talk, NOW." Now at this point in time, I really don't care what happens. "Ok. My name is Ellie Lupin. I'm 12 years old. My brother's name is Remus Lupin and he's a…" Professor Trelawney burst in. "Mr Black and Miss Lupin. What on earth are you doing?" "Her name is Ellie Lupin. She's 12 years old. Her brother's name is Remus Lupin and he's a…" No Sirius don't say it. PLEASE! "Well she was going to tell me what he was when you came in." I think Sirius is enjoying this. So we got detention.
