"Be careful with Fluffers and Mr. Wrinkles!" I whispered. I got the idea that Remus nodded as the door opened and I sat down against my bed, quickly grabbing a book and started to read. Capella groaned as she came in.
"Can't you at least try to be normal and read on a chair or something?" Capella asked. I didn't look up from my book or speak. "Hello?" Capella said, obviously expecting an answer. I didn't answer again. Why not be a stubborn idiot, ya know? "Answer me unless you want-" Capella started, I interrupted her. I looked up at her.
"Want what exactly? I don't see you doing anything that bad, if you want me to be honest." I said simply. She glared at me and opened her mouth to speak. I turned my head back to my book.
"I know many charms and spells and potions I can use against you!" Capella yelled.
"Technically, it is 'charms, spells, and potions', not what you said." I told her simply.
"You should've died with-" I heard her start to mumble. Remembering Remus was in the room.
"Shut up." I said, not moving. She smirked.
"Soft spot, eh?" She said. I slammed my book shut.
"I said, shut up." I told her.
"Fine, fine. How's Loopy and mudblood?" She asked. I looked down at my wand which was right next to me. I grabbed it, but didn't point it at Sarah. I just held on to it with that hand. "So? Mudblood shouldn't even be here, you know that right? And Loopy needs to go to an insane asylum or something, muttering things to himself and such." My hand grasped tighter on my wand as I spoke.
"The only person in need of mental help, is you, Capella Black. If you hate them so much, then stop talking about them." I told her.
"No thanks, it annoys you well, doesn't it?" Sarah said. I glared at her.
"And why do you hate me?" I asked, slowly standing up. She laughed a bit.
"People are supposed to die when the time comes, Marley. You aren't supposed to be here. You know it. I know it. You are just another thing among many others that is ruining the wizarding world." Capella said. I knew what she was talking about. I was standing up now, wand by my side, facing her directly. Before I could do anything, she did something else. "Flipendo!" She said. I was shot back a bit and fell to the floor. She laughed a bit. "Weak idiot." She said. She left and I resisted the urge to hex her. I sat up and sighed as Remus quickly came over.
"Are you ok?" Remus asked. I nodded. I stood up and walked back over to Mr. Wrinkles and Fluffers. I grabbed hold of Fluffers and hugged him. "Why are you sad then?" He asked. I glared at him. "Sorry, can't help realizing that stuff."
"I don't know. Just a bit upset with myself I guess." I told him truthfully. It was technically half the truth. He came over and sat next to me.
"Why are you upset with yourself? You do know what Capella said was completely incorrect. If anything, you're strong for not being her and being the bigger person." Remus said. I rolled my eyes.
"Curse you for being right." I said. He looked like he wanted to ask something else, and I had an idea of what it was. I didn't want him to ask the question, so I regrettably ignored it. Dashia and Lily came into the room after a few seconds. Lily looked from Remus to me and immediately came over and sat next to me.
"What happened?" Lily asked. I rolled my eyes a bit.
"Nothing, why do you always assume the worst when Remus and I are just sitting or standing there?" I asked. She rolled her eyes a bit, not believing me. She looked at Remus. His eyes widened a bit at the immediate attention and then he looked at Dashia.
"Promise you won't kill anyone?" Remus said. Dashia looked confused, but slowly nodded her head.
"Capella came in and started teasing Quinn and ended up hurting her." Remus said. I shook my head slightly in disapproval.
"She didn't hurt me, just cast a simple spell. I'm not hurt." I said. Dashia rolled her eyes and turned to leave. "Where are you going?" I asked quickly.
"To talk to Capella." Dashia said, marching out. I quickly ran after her to where she was in the common room. She was approaching Capella until I grabbed her arm and pulled her back.
"Stop. Don't do what you are about to do, we already have to share a dorm with her." I told her. Dashia shook her head.
"Quinn. Let go of my arm." She told me sharply. I sighed and pulled out my wand. I muttered a quick hex and flicked my wand in Capella's direction.
"There. Now she doesn't know who did it and you still got pay back technically." I told her. Dashia looked at my other hand and saw my wand. She turned her head and looked at Capella, who currently had antlers growing out the top of her head. Dashia held back a laugh as she looked back at me.
"What'd you do?" Dashia asked. I smiled a bit.
"Made her grow antlers. It is actually an easy hex, ask Remus." I told her. She rolled her eyes a bit.
"That would be coming from two people who are awesome at charms, hexes, and spells." She said. I rolled my eyes a bit, not believe in her. Remus was great, but I could use some improvement.
"Whatever. Now let's sit down so we don't look suspicious and she doesn't realize it was us." I said. She nodded and went back up to our dorm to get Remus and Lily. They got down and we all sat at a table chatting. Soon, laughter started up in the common room. Remus and Lily looked at where it was coming from and noticed Sarah's new extension.
"Potter, Black, and Pettigrew honestly need to calm down with the pranks." Lily said. Someone appeared next to the table we were at.
"Actually Evans, believe it or not, we didn't do it. We would love to know who did, it is honestly hilarious." Said James Potter. I looked in that direction and saw him looking at Capella, who was confused at the laughter. I felt someone looking at me, and looked in that direction. It was Remus. He mouthed 'did you do this?' I nodded. He rolled his eyes a bit. Lily looked confused and slowly looked at Dashia. Dashia held her hands up to try and say she was innocent. Her next guess was me. I held back a smile as Lily sighed.
"So, instead of letting Dashia talk to her, you hexed her?" Lily said. I gave her a look.
"Do you honestly think that Dashia was going to just talk to her? And Capella doesn't know who did it, and I'm not increasing my chance of dying in the middle of the night." I said. Potter turned to me, looking slightly shocked.
"You did it?! Did she say something about Evans or Lupin or something?!" He exclaimed. I shrugged a bit. I was going to answer, but Dashia did first.
"Yes, yes she did. Why does that shock you?" Dashia told him. I shook my head a bit at her.
"Actually, Potter, she did. And she also did other things that made Dashia want to 'talk' to her. So it was either Dashia got detention or Capella grew antlers. I chose antlers because I didn't want her to get detention and Capella also looks hilarious." I said. Potter laughed a bit.
"I have to go tell Sirius!" He said. He quickly went to where his group normally sat. After a couple seconds, I saw Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew look in my direction, slightly surprised.
"What are you idiots laughing at!" Capella yelled. Alice Prewett, a Gryffindor girl in our year, spoke up.
"Umm, Capella, I think you need to look in the mirror." Alice told her. Capella glared at her and Alice got the hint. "You have antlers growing out of your head." Alice told her. Capella stood up and quickly ran to the bathrooms. A minute later, she came storming out and went over to Sirius Black and James Potter.
"You filthy little blood traitor! Undo it!" Capella yelled. Black shook his head.
"I would if I could, Capella . But we don't know how because we didn't do it. Maybe you should check elsewhere." Sirius told her. I saw her hand go for her wand and she pulled it out on Sirius.
"Undo it or I will hex you." Capella said. Sirius shooked his head. Her other hand formed the shape of a fist and I finally spoke up.
"They don't know how, Capella." I said. Her head quickly turned to me. She gasped and tightened her grip on her wand as she stormed over. Lily moved out the way because if she didn't, Capella would've pushed her out of the way.
"Undo you idiotic mudblood!" She said. Most of the room gasped as she said that. I tried to hold back rude remarks, but couldn't.
"I'm trembling with fear, Capella." I said sarcastically. She was almost as red as Lily's hair. "Just a quick question, if Sirius Black is a traitor because he is in Gryffindor doesn't that make you a traitor as well?" I said. I heard a quiet gasp echoed through the room. She was now fuming. I swear I could see smoke coming out of her ears. She flicked her wand in my direction and I quickly ducked.
"Curse you Marley! Undo it!" She said. I muttered the charm to undo it under my breath. Her hands shot up to her head as they disappeared and she let out a sigh of relief. "I'm going back to the bathroom to check if they are still there, if they are, you are dead Marley." She said. She stomped away and I quickly ran back to my dorm to grab Fluffers and say hi to Mr. Wrinkles. I was going to go out and not stay in the same area as Capella. I pet Mr. Wrinkles a bit and went back down with Fluffers in my pocket. I got down and looked up and saw that mainly the whole common room looking at me like I was crazy. I slowly walked over to where I was previously sitting. They were looking at me like I was insane, but also looked slightly unsurprised.
"I'm going to the library, I'll see you guys later?" I said. Lily and Remus nodded, but Dashia shook her head.
"Heck no! You have to explain! Where did all that come from?!" Dashia asked. I shrugged.
"Been storing it up, I guess. Can I go now? I rather not be here when she gets back." I told her. She sighed and nodded. "Ok, see you guys later!" I stood up and left. My hands were in my pockets, one hand petting Fluffers. I got to the library and decides to sit in the back where I won't be disturbed. I searched through the library trying to find a book. I then found a book called 'All You Need To Know About Puffskeins'. I pet Fluffers a bit in my pocket as I grabbed the book and went back to sit down. I sat down against a chair since no one was around, them being in the front of the library.
