CHAPTER 14: Sirius vs. Isabella

Remus and Isabella headed off to History of Magic. He couldn't help but ask Isabella about the prank.

"Smart move, Isabella. Cornish Pixies?" He asked with a smile. She started snickering.

"Pretty smart, hey? I think I can do better, though," she was proud of herself.

"How did you get ahold of those pixies though? They're extremely tough to find," Remus asked.

"Well, I gave Mundungus Fletcher free breakfast once at the café, so he owed me. I don't know how he got them though; he's a sketchy kid," Isabella remarked with a small smile.

"You never fail to amaze me," Remus laughed. Isabella noticed that she was feeling an unknown feeling: a fluttery, happy, nervous type feeling in her stomach.

Oh shit, I like him, she thought. I mean, it's not the worst right? He is hot as hell & he's super nice…Her thoughts were interrupted.

"Isabella? After you?" Remus was standing by the classroom door, motioning for Isabella to go in first.

"Oh, uh, thanks," she smiled and walked in. She walked in and sat down at her table, Remus following. Soon, the Professor stood up and starting teaching, noticing Isabella's face first.

"Is it hot in here, Miss Clarke?" He asked.

"Sorry?" She asked, confused.

"Your face is very red," the Professor said with a roll of his eyes.

Fuuuuuuuuck, she thought, and hung her head. Remus looked away and smiled. Throughout the class, Remus made a point to try and help Isabella whenever he could. Instead of looking at him with absolute hate, Isabella had a twinkle in her eye.

Well, we're making great progress, Remus thought.

"Hey, after class, do you want to go down to the lake? It's really nice weather today," Remus asked with hope.

"Ahh, yeah why not," Isabella responded with a smile. Class ended, and the two almost fast-walked out of the class. Laughing about the stupid things in class, Isabella and Remus made their way down to the Great Lake. They walked over to the center tree and sat down.

"So tell me, Remus Lupin, why are you the smartest guy in Hogwarts?" Isabella playfully asked.

"Awh no, I'm not the smartest guy," Remus bashfully replied. "Oh gosh, I've left my notebook in the classroom! I'll be right back," Remus got up and sprinted back to the classroom. Isabella ran her hand through her hair and grinned to herself.

"Max, is it?" she heard a voice behind her. Her smile faded and she quickly turned around. She saw Sirius and James strutting towards her. "That's his name right- your brother- Max?" Sirius asked with a smirk.

"What the fuck did you say?" Isabella gritted her teeth.

"How's he doing? I hope he's not getting his ass kicked by your stepdad- Jason, right?" James started to laugh. Isabella's jaw fell to the floor; she couldn't believe what she was hearing.

"Don't look so puzzled, Clarke. We read your diary," James explained.

"Yeah, we read the super sad part where Jason apparently kicked the shit out of Max and then…I don't know, it got boring after that," Sirius couldn't be smirking more. Isabella felt the anger and rage boil up inside her, causing her to tear up.

"YOU SON OF A BITCH!" Isabella leaped to attack Sirius. She started throwing punches, some of which hit Sirius.

"What's going on!" Remus yelled, as he was jogging back to the tree.

"HOW DARE YOU TALK ABOUT MY FAMILY YOU BASTARD!" Isabella screamed as she continued to attack Sirius.

"REMUS! Get this bitch off me!" Sirius yelled, as he was trying to dodge her fast punches. James tried to intervene by pulling Isabella away, but ended up coming in unfortunate contact with her long nails.

"AAAH!" James yelled, as he felt 3 scratch marks on his cheek.

"Okay, okay, okay, OKAY!" Remus said as he pulled Isabella off.

"YOU'RE DEAD!" Isabella couldn't stop shouting.

"Ugh, shut up Clarke. You're mental," Sirius fixed his messy school robes.

"Isabella, calm down. What did he do?" Remus had his hands on Isabella's shoulders.

"I…can't…" Isabella shook her head and stormed off. Remus looked bewildered.

"Sirius, what did you say?"

"Ahhh, nothing horrible," Sirius smirked. James grinned and looked down.

"What did you say?" Remus asked in a stern tone.

"I just asked her about her brother and stepdad- she probably just had her period and freaked out," Sirius shrugged. Remus rolled his eyes.

"Ohmygod Sirius, just because girls become angry with you, doesn't mean they're on their period," Remus debated.

"Uhh, why else would they be pissy?" Sirius defended himself.

"Maaaaybe because you piss girls off?" Remus said. James started laughing in the background and Sirius elbowed him.

"Seriously, girls should be lucky that I even look at them, let alone interact with them," Sirius ran his hand through his hair.

"Right…well you should apologize to Isabella," Remus suggested. "I've never seen her so angry before."

"HA! No. She should apologize to me for attacking me like a crazy bitch!"

"Yeah, I agree," James intervened.

"Aha, I don't think she will. I guess I'll see her back in the common room and I can talk to her," Remus said.

"Right, well while you're dreaming about your girlfriend, let's find Snivellus so we can prank him," Sirius suggested.

"YES!" James cheered.
