After a couple minutes of reading my book in piece, someone approached me.
"Hey, Marley." Said Sirius Black, who just appeared around a bookshelf. I looked up from the book and hid Fluffers, who was now in my lap. "Thanks for that. I honestly thought I would get hexes right there and then would be in detention with Lestrange for dueling in the common room." He said. I shrugged.
"Not that big of a deal. I just removed the hex." I said. He shook his head a bit.
"You also called her a traitor. When her sister finds out about that you are literally dead, just so you know." He said. I shrugged again. "So… about that hex-"
"I'm not telling you and Potter how to make antlers grow out of people's heads, Capella." I interrupted. He sighed a bit.
"Fine. Just wondering, where in the world did the traitor thing come from? Honestly, what did she do to make you call her that and hex her? No one expected that." He said.
"I don't know, it just happened. She said rude things to me and about my friends in my dorm and then did a couple of other things. She has also done many things before now, so I guess I just decided to say a bit of the things I want to then. And why does no one expects me to do that type of stuff?" I asked quickly after finishing what I was saying.
"I don't know, you just seem more like the person who threatens to do things, but never does it unless something really, really, really, really, really bad happened to a friend because of a person. What did she do? If you don't mind me asking." He said.
"She called Remus Loopy and Lily a…" I trailed off, not wanting to repeat what she said about Lily. He got the idea of what I was saying.
"Well, we've learned our lesson about calling Remus Loopy, James and I. But did Capella really call Lily a mudblood? Also, she called you a mudblood as well, aren't you upset about that?" Black asked.
"She did call her it. I don't really care if she calls me one, but when she insults someone I care about, I'm going to be more upset than I would be if it were me." I told him. He nodded.
"I'm not surprised about the name calling to be honest. I honestly don't know why she was put in Gryffindor. The sorting hat probably made a mistake, he has done so before." He told me. I nodded. He was now sitting down in a chair next to where I was sitting on the ground.
"Well, Black-" I started, he interrupted.
"Call me Sirius." He said. I looked at him. He had his hand out like we were just introducing ourselves. I took the hand and we gave each other a hand shake.
"Well, Sirius, why is Pettigrew behind that bookshelf?" I asked, pointing at a bookshelf I saw Pettigrew move behind. Sirius sighed.
"Come out, James, Peter." Sirius said.
"Nice to know Potter is also here. So why exactly were two of you hiding and not just talking as well?" I asked. Sirius sighed.
"Because we thought you wouldn't tell us the hex if we were all just standing here, so they hid to make sure I didn't forget it if you told me. That plan failed because you didn't tell me and also because Pete was caught." Sirius said, turning to Pettigrew.
"Sorry Sirius! I didn't mean to. You should both know I'm not good at sneaking around by now." He told them.
"Actually, you were pretty good. I only saw you because I heard something from where Potter was hiding." I told him. Pettigrew looked surprised and Sirius looked at Potter.
"Ok I may have laughed a bit when you told her Sarah was probably placed in the wrong house." Potter said truthfully. Sirius sighed and I laughed a bit.
"I don't think we have ever actually probably met to be honest." Sirius said. I nodded my head.
"I've only heard your names around the school from pranks. And from talking to you twice before now." I said. Sirius smirked.
"Looks like we are popular, mates." He said. I rolled my eyes a bit.
"Hey, can I ask a question?" Potter said. I nodded slowly. "Were you actually ok when I saw you in the hallway earlier this year?" He asked. At first, I didn't know what he was talking about. Then I remembered when Capella had pushed me in the hallway and Potter happened to be around a couple seconds afterwards. "Also, call Pete and I by our first names if you want." Peter and Sirius looked confused while I shrugged.
"I was fine, I had just fallen on my arm and it hurt a bit." I told him. He gave me a skeptical look, but I ignored it. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Severus looking for books. I hadn't talked to Severus for a couple of days, so I decided to talk with him. "I think I'm going to go now, wonderful talking to you three. Oh, and just so you know, try and prank me and I will hit you bit ten times harder." I said.
"Is that a challenge?" Sirius said, smirking, as I stood up. I just smiled and walked away. I walked to the shelf I saw Severus and was glad when I saw him near the end.
"Hi Severus!" I said. Fluffers had fallen asleep in my lap, so he was now sleeping peacefully in my pocket. Severus quickly turned and looked at me.
"Oh, hey, Quinn…" Severus said. He looked back at the books.
"Is everything ok? You seem upset." I told him. He shook his head.
"I'm fine. I was just about to go actually. I'll see you later." Severus said. He then left. I frowned a bit. I shook it off, assuming he actually had to go. I checked out the book on puffskeins since I didn't get that far into the book before Sirius started talking to me. I decided that I was going to go outside on the grounds. I went out and sat down near the lake once again, leaning back against a tree. It was around lunch, but I decided just to eat a big dinner. I took Fluffers out of my pocket and set him down next to me. I then continued reading my book.
