Hey guys! Sorry it took me so long to write but- I've been ill. Also, the inspiration for this chapter results in my own hair disaster. It was awful. I even had to go to school like that. You'll understand soon enough but I will never dress up for Halloween like that again. My hair has just turned back to normal. Anyways, enjoy! ∞ Me ∞
Chapter 9- Gurple and Picasso- Part I
Potions was a unique experience for those that were there that day. It was a free- style brewing lesson and anyone who knew anything knew to stay away from the Marauders that day.
James and Sirius walked around with black scowls on their faces and Peter mimicking their expressions to his best ability. Remus merely was there to break up the random fights.
Their heads were pressed together in a conspiratorial manner and Peter would occasionally look over his shoulder at the Slytherins and giggle before the others jerked him back around again.
Lily was in the class so she and Sam were partners. They shared slightly worried looks before they threw up a protection charm over their cauldrons worked on.
Abruptly the boys broke apart and added a purple leaf to the bubbling green potion.
"Professor!" James called. "We're done!"
Slughorn looked up from his papers and grimaced slightly. There was no way he would walk over to them! It was probably some horrible prank of theirs anyway.
"Good, good, bring it here then." He mumbled. Sirius grinned. This is exactly what he wanted.
He carefully levitated the cauldron over from his seat and hovered it above Sam's head.
"Hey, Prewett…" He whispered. Sam turned around and just as Nikko yelled, "OI!" Sirius dumped the green liquid onto her hair.
Time seemed to have stood still and when it moved to catch up with the time it lost everyone was surprised to see Sam still standing there.
Her golden skin glinted harshly in the candlelight and her hands twitched violently at her sides, as though she were desperately trying not to strangle the smirking Sirius Black.
Sirius looked at the heavily breathing girl whose face was pale with anger and took in the damage he had done to the striking girl.
A great guffaw of laughter broke the strained silence and everyone turned to see a giggling James pointing at Sam's once beautiful golden hair that was now neon green with bright purple streaks and hot pink tips.
Her long eyelashes were dark green with blue tips and her skin had a harsh yellow-gold hue to it.
"Wow Prewett, you really should be thanking me- I think I just saved your appearance." Sirius sneered.
Lucius, Nikko, Regulus, and Severus stood as one but Sam held out a hand.
Sirius smirked. "Oh Prewett, do you think your doing us a favor by calling off your dogs?
"Let me tell you- you may as well join them, you are nothing more than a little snake with a pretty face. Go back to your toys and leave the rest of us alone."
This was enough for Sam and she pushed the point of her black wand into Sirius' jugular. Lily started. She knew that look in her friend's eye. This had to stop!
"Sam…" Lily whimpered. "Think about what you're doing. There is another way to settle this! Please!" Sam looked at Lily and her eyes held an indescribable sadness.
"You're right, Lils." She whispered. She turned back to Sirius and looked him in the eyes. "You. Aren't. Worth. It." She gently pulled her wand away and left the room, her head held high. Lily and Narcissa ran after her.
"Mr. Black!" Slughorn yelled. "Detention! And you best hope Miss Prewett is a forgiving person! That spell won't wear off for another three hours!"
Sirius shrugged and stared moodily at the door. She did the one thing that made him angrier. By not retaliating, Sam succeeded in making him look like a complete ass. He now felt even angrier and would do whatever it took to make her retaliate. She would get her comeuppance.
A/N: Hey guys! Hope this chapter was ok. I'm too tired to write the whole chapter so I've put it into two parts. I don't know when the next part will be out so bear with me. Till then, thanks for reading and reviewing. Also, I am interested in a Beta-reader, so if anyone is interested please email me. Later! ∞ Me ∞
