As the eight friends walked into the great hall most people where already seated. All eyes were turned on them. Sometimes it was amazing to be popular, I mean all the kids new their names and would do almost anything for them. But other times like this, made it suck to popular. Everyone was looking at them, most in admiration or respect but some in hatred. Suddenly the entire hall broke into whispers, the marauders and the girls looked at each other and groaned. This happened after almost every holiday. They wondered who the lucky one would be today. Which one of them would have endless rumors spread about them until it was another subject more interesting than them.
"Look at her,"
"Wow she's gotten so thin,"
"But has gotten such big boobs,"
"You think she has an eating disorder,"
"Danm, summer was good to her."
The girls tried to figure out which one of them it was. Who looked different? They had seen each other every day- they didn't notice anyone as changed.
"What's her real name again?"
"Isn't she Filomena or something like that?"
"Ha-ha. Yeah what dumb name." The girls looked at Fifi. The boys looked at Fifi. She looked like she was ganna shoot someone.
"Fifi. Honey. Calm down," Gabi said to her.
"I freaking hate my name, "Fifi replied, "how in the world do they know my real name?" she questioned as they took seats at the Gryffindor table.
"That would be our doing," someone sneered from behind them. The boys jumped up immediately recognizing the voice. They had there wands raised and Sirius looked like he would kill him any minute. All this before the girls turned around to see who it was.
"Snivallis," James and Sirius muttered.
"Why don't you keep your greasy hair and long nose in your dark arts books and out of our- I mean Fifi's business," Sirius threatened.
"And you Malfoy," James said wanting to get some of the action. " No one is fooled by that angel blond hair of yours, go back to trying to win your girl."
"You go try it with that mudblood Lily, potter" he replied and started to storm of.
"YOU LITTLE-"
"SIRIUS, JAMES," they turned around to see Moony yelling at them, " Fifi wants you guys to stop." The both looked at her and immediately responded with a "right, sorry,"
"Thank you though," she said.
"Your welcome," they replied.
The entire great hall had to sit through Dumbledore's long speech, the sorting and Filch trying to act powerful before they saw the food rise magically on their plates. Everyone but Fifi started to dig in. She sat there thinking. "Do I really look that different?" she questioned them. All three girls responded with a "Not at all. You look beautiful and wonderful." But somehow that's not what she wanted, she turned to the boys.
"James, Peter, Remus, Sirius," she gulped unable to believe what she was about to ask them, " Do I really look different? Am I thinner, do I have bigger boobs?" All four boys shifted uncomfortably. Gabi slapped Remus on the head and he said, " Fifi, you are beautiful, but you've always been beautiful." He smiled hoping he had take care of it. And he had. "Thank you Remus!" She replied and hugged him. James and Peter looked relieved they hadn't answered that because they would have talked about how she had definitely gotten hotter. Sirius on the other hand shot Remus an angry look when no one was watching him. He had wanted to make Fifi feel better.
"Look at her brown hair. It's so pretty. Like all wavy and long and thick," they heard a girl tell one of her friends and Fifi immediately started to fidget with her hair.
"She's so tall," "And look at her blue eyes, omg so gorgeous," The friends could hear it all through dinner. People talking about Fifi. The girls knew Fifi had never had much self-confidence and where begging to panic. How much longer till dinner was over they questioned each other. The boys on the other hand sat there in much awkwardness as they watched Margo, Lily, and Gabi panic and Fifi keep looking around and looking upset. Sirius just wanted to hug her and make all her pain go away.
Finally dinner was over and the girls ushered her into the Gryffindor common room. They all took their usual seats by the fire. All of them that is, except for Fifi who just kept looking at the fire and standing in front of it. The boys watched as Lily, Margo and Gabi had a wild argument silently to not let Fifi know.
"What are we going to do," Lily mouthed.
"Crap, I don't know. This is bad," Margo mouthed.
"Its never been this bad before," Gabi mouthed back.
"Do you think the boys could help?" Margo mouthed
"Of course not!" Lily replied.
"Hello we are right here," they all said to Lily.
"What are you talking about," Remus asked turning to Gabi. But she wouldn't give in "Lily, maybe its worth a try." Gabi said. Unfortunately she said it loud enough to wake Fifi up from her daydream.
"What's worth a try?" she enquired.
"Nothing," all three girls replied looking guilty.
"Okay, you're not going to tell me," she said looking upset. She turned to the boys, "Remus, care to inform me, since me so called best friends wont?" she questioned obviously getting mad. When he didn't respond right away she turned to James. "James, same question." He didn't respond in that mila second. "Peter same question," she said.
"What," he questioned her.
"WHAT WERE YOU ALL TALKING ABOUT AND WHAT IS EVERYONE NOT TELLING ME," she somewhat screamed, but somewhat cried.
"Oh, that. Well. I have no idea," he replied honestly.
"Fuck you," she said. They all looked shocked. She was about to cry now. "Sirius, your going to tell me aren't you?" she questioned him.
He looked at her and wanted to tell her that he didn't know. "You are beautiful," he said accidentally.
Tears were falling down her face. She didn't care that she was crying in front of them. She'd cried in front of the girls before and the boys just better get used to it. "I hope you rot in hell," she spat at Sirius. He looked at her crying and forgave her right away for saying that. He loved her too much to be mad, and she was upset right now and he didn't know why.
"Fifi, please stop crying" Margo said as the girl ran up to her. It was obvious that the stress from dinner was kicking in.
"I hate you guys. Why wont you tell me. Is there really that much wrong with me?" she attacked and questioned them at the same time, still crying as hard as ever.
"Fifi, please don't cry," Sirius asked her.
"People cry Black. Get the Fuck used to it," she replied and stormed off.
