Chapter 3
~Phoebe POV~
I woke up to the bright light coming into the window. I got up, got my shower and got dressed for the day. I picked a simple mid thigh leather skirt and tube top shirt that for once covered my entire stomach. I slipped into my leather boots and brushed my wet hair. I used my magic to dry it quicker than air drying and grabbed my Defense against the dark arts book.
I left my room and saw that I was late again, so I had to run to the classroom. I composed myself and then opened the door to see a full class waiting for Lockhart to uncover a cage that was shaking like crazy. "Ah! Miss Ice! Lovely to see you again, come on up. I was just about to send someone to find you." I walked to the front of the room, all eyes on me and my clothes.
"What's in there?" he uncovered it and I saw Cornish pixies. Some relaxed, I almost laughed as well, but he opened the cage and let them go. They started wreaking the room and I sighed, this guy was so fake. He tried to control them with a spell I never heard of and they took his wand from him. The bell rang and everyone took off for the door, Lockhart shut the door, telling Harry, Ron and some girl to get them back into the cage.
I noticed that the girl was quite good at a freezing charm, but didn't believe that Lockhart was an idiot. I sighed and they must have remembered I was here. "Savoirus." I mumbled and all of the remaining pixies were forced back into the cage and I locked the cage back. "What an idiot." I said and tossed my hair off my shoulders, turning to the kids.
"Thank you ma'am" the girl said and I saw Harry shake his head. "I'm not a ma'am, girl." She mumbled an apology and I looked at the guys. "What is wrong with you two?" I asked and they each shook their heads. I rolled my eyes and Rain flew in the broken window, landing on my shoulder. "And where have you been?" I snapped and she pressed her beak against my cheek.
"I think you three should get to class." I said and they all quickly left and I was alone. No other teacher needed me today, so it was boring already. I looked out the window down at them running across the grounds to their next class. Harry looked almost exactly like his father. I remembered the memory that I had last night and sighed, letting it come back and flood my mind.
~Flashback~
"Shut up Pad foot, she's hurt." James snapped and Sirius smirked at me. "Pad foot?" I asked and he nodded. "What is that? Some type of lame kid nickname about your feet? What you a freak or something?" his smirk faded and turned into a glare. "Let's get away from the tree." Remus said and we got a good distance away from it, then another boy appeared.
"And this is Peter." James finished introducing them. I looked between all of them and then rubbed my side gently. "You never answered me." "What's that?" "Where did those animals go?" "Animals?" James said and I glared at him. "Yes, there was a Stag, Dog, and a Rat." I looked between them all, then remembered the names they were calling each other. "You guys are the animals aren't you?" they all looked away and I knew I was right.
"Wormtail…That's Peter right, the rat?" he smiled when I said his name and I looked at James. "You are Prongs, the stag that made me leave." He smiled and nodded. I turned to Remus and Sirius, I only saw three animals, but fours boys. "You had to be the dog." I said to Sirius, who smirked at me. "Because I was adorable right?" I snorted. "Actually it has to be you because you smell like garbage and act as if everyone loves you." I smirked and he growled at me.
"Shut your mouth girl!" he snapped and I pulled out my wand. "Make me!" I said back and he pulled out his own. "I got two years of magic on you. Think you still stand a chance." I lowered my wand, he laughed. "Told ya!" I shot a spell right at his face, but he blocked it. He went to say something smart, but I had thrown a rock and it hit him right in the cheek, cutting him.
"How's that for speed?" I snapped and James got in front of me, Remus in front of Sirius. "Calm down Phoebe." I paused and blew out a breath. "Whatever, he's a loser anyway. Not even worth my time." I looked at James and he took in a breath as the sun fully came up, bathing me in that burning light. All was silent as their eyes fell on me. "What?" I asked and looked into the sun, then back at the guys.
"Ah I see, my eyes must look…strange in this light." "More like gorgeous." James said and I smiled, blushing a bit. "Thanks." I backed away from them; they were all still staring at me. "I should get to the nurse, to get my ribs checked out." I said and James snapped out of his trance, taking a step toward me. "Want me to show you the way?" I shook my head, turned and walked a few steps before turning back.
"Oh and dog, you're drooling." I smirked as he snapped out of it too, wiped his mouth and glared. I laughed and he slipped back into it. "See you guys later" I turned and walked into the castle, leaving them there. Madam Pomfrey said I had four broken ribs and three cracked ones. She told me to stay in the hospital for the day, to make sure there was no internal bleeding.
I had grabbed my contacts before coming, so no one would notice my eyes. A girl named Lily Evans brought me my work from our classes, she was in my room with me and we seemed to hit it off as best we could. "Feel better alright." "Do you know Sirius, Peter, Remus, and James?" I asked and her face changed. "James and Sirius are jerks; Peter just wants to be liked. Remus is a real good guy, but doesn't really stop the others from torturing people."
"Why do you ask?" "I just met them last night and James actually seemed nice." "Nice, his ego is as big as the castle; he thinks every girl wants him." "That actually sounds a bit more like Sirius from my encounter." She smiled and I did too. "Peter sounds the same, as does Remus." "So do you like any of them?" her question surprised me and I choked on my juice.
"Not really, James was cute, but I doubt anything would form. Sirius is a jerk, so not him. Peter seems a bit shy and not my type, I would like a straight forward guy, one that takes control if the moment calls for it, but not afraid to say girls are just as good as them." "Go for Remus then." I looked at her. "I was just saying, I don't want to date any of them." "Why not?" "They are a little old don't you think?" "Not really." "Which do you like?" she snorted and tossed her red hair off her shoulders.
"If I had to pick one of them, Peter or Remus. James and Sirius are just immature and annoying." We talked for a bit longer and then the doors opened and the devils walked in and saw us. "What's up Evans?" "Buzz of Potter." "Well too bad for you, we came to see Phoebe, not you." I watched them do a small faceoff before she turned to me. "I'll see you tonight." "Alright, thanks for hanging out." she left and the guys came over.
I saw Sirius didn't look that happy and wouldn't look at me. "How you feeling?" Remus said and James hopped onto the bed without asking, but luckily missed my legs. Peter sat in a chair and Remus stood, Sirius was sulking behind him. "Better, four broken ribs and three cracked ones." "Told her she wasn't anything special, couldn't even get past the willow."
