Note From Author: Ok so this is my first FanFiction so I'm really, really sorry if it stinks terribly and if it does I apologize greatly. Also I hope people read and review, I can take comments both good and bad so don't hesitate to tell me what you think. I'm sorry if it stinks again…
Disclaimer: Do you really think if I owned anything concerning Harry Potter I would be spending my time online? I think not, no J.K. Rowling owns everything, I own only Mary…
A Quite Night-
It had taken them one day and two hours to finally understand the curse Mary had used, all thanks the Remus who was the only smart one and had proceeded to look it up in the library.
Meanwhile the entire school had laughed at them and they had become a part of every joke told. It wasn't fun!
Not that the Marauders thought that much about it, they decided the best course of action was just to laugh along with everyone else.
Sirius though had born the brunt of his own vain personality by washing his hair to many times with the shampoo contaminated with muggle hair dye, bright green.
That was something not even magic could fix, unless he had wanted to remove all of his hair. Sirius chose the going with green hair option.
Rather not surprisingly suddenly a lot of people at Hogwarts started to dye their hair green as well, starting a new trend for green hair.
Sirius felt that he had won, he might have been tricked by Mary but at least he proved to her that he wasn't going to sit back and take the humiliation. That wasn't enough for him he was going to win this battle and he had the perfect idea.
To Mary though this wasn't a prank battle, it was a desperate attempt to keep her mind off her past and most often her future.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mary was a happy little girl; she went to public school and went to summer camp like lots of other kids. She lived in a little house with her muggle parents and her little sister.
She started to swim competitively at age 8; it was at practice that she learned the true meaning of commitment, and the true meaning of friendship.
It was because of swimming that she cut her hair short and to her ears, rather then leaving it long and curly. It was because of swimming that her shoulders grew broad and her legs became pure muscle.
It was because of swimming that she fell in love with water.
Not the kind of water you drink, but the kind of water you swim in this center idea of being safe and calm and collected when everything else goes wrong. In swimming there is nothing to question nothing left unanswered for there is nothing that is needed to be said.
But Mary abandoned the water, when her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer she helped out around the house and did everything her mother couldn't because she was sick.
She helped her mom, encouraging her to get better during the day and praying to god that she would be ok at night. It wasn't meant for Mary's mother to survive cancer; she died March 26 two days before Mary's birthday.
Sometimes when Mary looks into her father's eyes she knows he is thinking of her mother, mostly she believes that it is her fault. Her mothers deep blue eyes were passed down to Mary, as was her long curly chestnut hair.
Going to school had hurt Mary a lot after that year, but it was a way to escape all the pain and suffering. At Hogwarts no one came up to her and said "I'm really sorry about your loss," at Hogwarts there were not constant reminders of her mothers death.
That was also the year that Mary had found the northwest tower, two extra lefts and a right before the Gryffindor common room. She still went there sometimes when she wanted to cry.
It was here she lost herself in pranks and in school work. In one desperate attempt after another to avoid thinking of her mother and her past and the future that haunted her dreams.
It was tonight when the dreams haunted her, she was running and running and desperately reaching for something to hold onto. Something to cling to as her entire life came crashing down on her like a wave she couldn't escape and swept her out to sea and into the great abyss. She awoke scared far from calm and far from happy her eyes lost in thoughts from far away, but she came back to earth slowly and calmed down. She glanced down at t
"Sirius you didn't dare!"
