Sirius Competition
I don't own HP. J. K. Rowling does.
Gryffindor Common Room (Lily POV)
It was all my fault. James almost died because of me. Me. Only me. Sev acted on my orders. I felt terrible. He was just there with his messy hair and arrogant smirk then bam. It was like an explosion. James blood, Sev sweat, and Sirius tears. I felt so much guilt. I made Sirius cry. Remus too, probably. But I never cry. Never except now.
I sat on my bed, crying. Sobbing. He went to St. Mungos three days ago, and I started to cry now. I felt like a monster. All the emotions I had felt over the last three days just leaked out, all over my pillow. I felt alone. Sirius, James and Remus probably hated me and I really didn't want to talk to Sev. I was kind of blaming him for something I did, just so I could stay strongish. On top of it, all my friends would be back that night and classes would start again. They would make me spill out all my feelings, I just knew it. I wiped my nose. I needed to act normal, so I wouldn't tell them the truth. That I basically killed James.
Headmaster's Office (Severus POV)
Lily would never speak to me again. She had avoided me for three days straight. I was sitting there in the Headmaster's office, and my thoughts were on Lily. I didn't even care that I was as good as expelled because either Black or Remus turned me in. They had all the right to do it.
"Explain why you did this." Dumbledore finally spoke.
"I, em... I don't know sir." I said, my knees shaking.
"You had no reason?" Dumbledore asked, looking me in the eye.
"Black hexed me." I admitted.
"So you cursed James?"
"I thought it was Pot- er James."
"Now what was the curse you used?" This was the question I was dreading. I didn't want to tell him that I invented a spell.
"Sectumsepra, sir."
"And where did you find this spell?" He asked, a little too calmly.
"I invented it, sir." My voice shook.
"Had you tested it?"
"On wood."
"Not on people?"
"No, sir."
"What was it designed to do?"
"Cut things."
"That was dark magic, Severus. Since it wasn't intentional, I will not expel you. Detentions will be served." Dmubledore stood up. I didn't want to look too happy, but I was very excited that he wasn't going to expel me. "I can't express how serious this is though. If you use the spell again, I'm afraid I will have to expel you."
"Yes sir." I felt happy about my little punishment. I was confident. I was extremely confident. Like confident enough to go talk to Lily.
Hey there. Sorry for taking so long to update- I was out of town. Please keep reviewing! I might not post as often, probably once or twice a week. Thanks for reading!
