Sorry I missed Friday, I was busy. here's the chapter-
"How dare you continuously embarrass me! Do you know who I am? Seriously!" Capella said. I shrugged.
"I know that you are an annoying brat who won't leave me alone." I said simply. She raised her hand to hit me, but was stopped.
"Now now, Pella, don't hit her too soon. Speak more." Said a voice from somewhere behind her. Capella sighed and let me go. "I never said let her go, but do it your way I guess." They said. I looked behind her and saw the person who I have been warned many times of when I talked back to Capella. Bellatrix Black.
"Needed to bring your sister along to try and proof you may actually be smart and strong? I wouldn't be looking forward to anything." I mumbled. Then I got slapped.
"Gryffindors. Think they know everything and are better than everyone. Hate them." Bellatrix said. I rolled my eyes.
"You do realize that your sister is technically in Gryffindor? Right?" I told her. I got another slap.
"Don't talk to Bellatrix directly!" Capella yelled.
"You are treating her like a goddess, she's just your sister." I said. "Anyways, I would like to get to dinner and not have my friends bugging me about where I was, so I think I'm going to go." I said, shoving past Capella and her sister. As I was walking, I felt a pain on my shoulder. I checked, and saw several small cuts had appeared. I turned back around and saw Capella and Bellatrix approaching. Capella was smirking, and Bellatrix looked flat out insane, but then again, she always has the insane type of look. "Yes?" I asked slowly, reaching very slowly for my wand, which I thought was in my back pocket. Capella's smirk widened as she held something up.
"Looking for this?" She said. Right there in her hands, was my wand. "Yeah, I don't want you to somehow deflect the curse that was just used, so I took that before you could. Also…" She looked at her sister. I didn't have a good feeling about it as they started whispering to each other. Capella holding my wand loosely in the hand I could see. I quickly and quietly walked over to her and snatched my wand out of her hand. "Hey! You shouldn't take things!" She yelled at me. I looked at her, blankly.
"It is my wand. It isn't taking it is grabbing what is mine. You stole it in the first place. Now, I'm going to dinner before it ends." I said. I quickly walked away, trying to forget about how Capella or Bellatrix had performed a curse on me. It still stung, I knew I'd have to look at it soon. I decided to stop by the bathroom and looked at it. It was bleeding, so I grabbed a couple of paper towels and placed them folded on the scratches. It was bleeding a lot for a couple of scratches. I could see tiny drops of blood soaking through the multiple paper towels. I sighed and gave up, leaving the bathroom. I got to the Great Hall and sat down where I normally sit.
"What's that?" Remus said almost the second after I sat down. He pointed to where a corner of the paper towels was sticking out. I shrugged and put on my cloak(which I and taken off in the bathroom and just carried it). Remus didn't drop the subject. "Why are your cheeks red?" Remus asked.
"It's nothing, Remus, seriously." I said simply, eating a small piece of chicken. He didn't stop looking at me as he whispers something to Lily. Lily looked back at me and then him.
"I don't think so. Don't see her doing it." Lily whispered a bit too loud. I looked at Dashia, who was looking confused until Remus and Lily motioned for her to lean toward and join their quiet and private conversation. I sighed opened my book.
"Knew it was a matter of time before your friends started hating you as well. Probably found out how weak and idiotic you are." Capella. I fake gasped.
"I never would have thought you would know what idiotic means! Good job, want a cookie?" I said sarcastically. She was about to hit me, but then looked at my shoulder.
"The blood doesn't stop coming out for 36 hours, the paper towels are going to be soaked by the time you get to the dorm room." She whispered in my ear. I glared at her as she walked away. I turned back to Remus and saw that he had tried to hear what she had said, but she was way too quiet in the hall of students.
"It was nothing, I'm serious." I said. Remus looked behind me and sighed. I knew what was about to happen by the look on his face. I already had my face in my hands due to disappointment.
"No, I am!" Sirius exclaimed. I sighed as I turned to Sirius.
"Why? Just why?" I asked. He laughed.
"Why not?" Sirius asked.
"Many reasons, Sirius, many different reasons." Remus said. He looked up at Sirius and gave him a look. Sirius immediate went over to James and Peter and told them something, they then went to Remus and all of a sudden, I saw James and Sirius get along with Dashia and Lily. They kept whispering and looking up at me. It was getting annoying. I stood up and just left. I decided I would see if the paper towels were soaked yet so I went to the bathroom. I got there, and, to my surprise, it had soaked through. I slowly took the paper towels off and grabbed more. I placed it there and went to the library, believing that Dashia, Remus, and everyone would've checked the dorm. I don't know why I left. That's a lie: I felt stupid just sitting there while they talked and whispered. I sighed as I went towards the back of the library and looked through the book. My shoulder hurts a lot and I was not a fan of it. As I was looking through the books, I found one that appealed to me due to my shoulder. '101 ways to heal yourself from spells/charms/hexes/curses'. I picked it up. I flipped through the pages, trying to find something.
"What are you reading?" I heard. I quickly shut the book and hid the title. I looked up to see James.
"Nothing." I said quickly. He gave me a look. "It's nothing, just a book. Looking up some extra things for class." I told him. He tried to see the title of the book, but I put the book up.
"Oh come on, why won't you tell me?" James asked. I shrugged.
"It's not important." I said simply.
"James, you are horrible at this." I heard. Remus and Sirius came out from behind the shelf. Sirius pushed past me and found the book. He pulled it out.
"Why are you reading this? Defense Against the Dark Arts research?" Sirius asked, flipping through the pages. I nodded. Remus shook his head.
"What's in the book?" Remus asked.
"Exactly what the title says." I told him. Sirius handed him the book with a shrug and he flipped through.
"Ok then." Remus said with a sigh, obviously not finding anything. I nodded as he put the book back as well. However, as he was right beside me putting the book back, he stopped moving. He didn't move for a couple seconds and we were all confused, until he put one of his hands on my shoulder, lightly pushing. I flinched slightly. "Nothing?" He questioned. Sirius and James were confused. I looked at Remus, slightly surprised.
"Nothing." I said. Remus said and pushed again with the same amount of force. I stopped myself from flinching.
"Oh my gosh Quinn, can't you just tell us what happened?" Remus said, speaking a bit louder. I looked around.
"Remus, we are still in a library." I told him. He groaned and grabbed my wrist, pulling me out of the library.
"Not anymore!" He said. I lightly rolled my eyes.
"Nothing bad happened, Remus." I told him.
"Quinn, you should tell McGonagall." I heard Sirius say quietly. I looked at him, confused. "I know what happened, and you should tell McGonagall. Capella deserves to be in a lot of trouble. Was there anyone else with you when she did it?"
"Well, yes… And that's one of the reasons I don't know if Capella did it or not." I siad, looking to the side.
"Well, go tell McGonagall." Sirius said. I nodded. I then left and turned a corner. I didn't move though I stayed there and eaves dropped.
"Whatcha doin'?" I heard from behind me. I jumped and turned around. I recognized then, but didn't know why or who they are. They were in Slytherin robes, which made me think a bit negative about them at first due to the Slytherin I have met. He looked around the corner. "Oh, are you friends with Sirius?" He asked. I nodded a bit.
"I'm his brother." He said. I let out a quiet oh, now knowing how I recognized him.
"Quinn Marley." I told him, sticking out my hand hesitantly, trying to be polite. He smiled a bit and took it.
"Rigel Black. Is your shoulder ok? Weren't you on your way to McGonagall about that?" He said. I nodded. "Here." He said. He pulled out his wand and did something, and the pain went away. I checked it and the cuts were gone as well.
"Thank you, Rigel." I said. He nodded. It was kind of awkward after that, with both of us just standing there. I looked around. "I think I'm gonna go…" I said slowly. He nodded.
"Yeah, yeah, see you around?" He said quickly. I smiled and nodded. I then walked away, going towards the Gryffindor dormitory. He seemed nice, right? Guess it is true then, not all Slytherins are bad people.
