"How did I get what?" October asked, her eyes glancing nervously around the train compartment as she tried to keep her gaze from meeting Remus'.
"The bruise on your face October, how did you get it?" He asked, his voice a little more stern and it was then that October realized that the attention of Sirius and James had been captured.
The two boys stared at October and she glanced down at the floor. She wasn't sure what to say and she tried to stop her hands from shaking. James, without warning, reached over and brushed her hair out of her face, revealing the bruise.
"How did you get that?" James asked as he stared at it, his mouth hanging open.
"I… I cant tell you guys." October said quickly as she pushed her hair back to cover the bruise and tried to exit the compartment.
"Are we almost there?" She asked quickly, trying to change the subject as she quickly glanced at all three boys.
"Yeah we should probably change into our school robes." James said as he left the compartment first and was then followed by Remus.
Sirius stayed behind and didn't look away from October as she sat back down.
"Don't you need to go and do something?" October asked as she raised an eyebrow at Sirius.
"Who did that to you?" He asked, his voice stern.
"It's none of your damn business. Just drop it already." She said, shouting in a whisper.
October kept her gaze down and started to let the tears fall. She felt them hit her hands and she knew Sirius could see that she was crying, but she didn't care right now.
"October, who did that to you?" He asked as he went and sat down beside her.
October looked up at him instantly, anger filling her eyes. She pushed Sirius away with all her strength.
"Get away from me!" She yelled as she grabbed her school robes and ran out of the compartment. Sirius stared after her.
"She is psychotic. It's like someone had a controller and they mess with her brain." Sirius mumbled to himself as he tore his eyes away from the compartment door and began to get dressed in his own robes. It was moments after he finished that October came back into the compartment. Sirius glared at her and sat down, keeping his gaze out of the window and refusing to meet her own.
"Sirius listen, I'm sorry for acting that way." Sirius turned to her as she said these words, his mouth hanging slightly open.
"Are you bipolar? I mean you have got to be seriously wacked out. The first moment you hate me, then you cry around me, so I try to comfort you, this causes you to hate me even more, and now you're apologizing!?" Sirius said as he drew in a breath.
"God, I hope all the chicks at Hogwarts aren't like you. They'll just drive me insane, and then I'll be locked up, and I wont be able to get a girlfriend or anything." Sirius looked up as he finished his rant to himself.
"What are you staring at? What I just said is all completely logical. I mean you are definitely messed up. That's true whether you want to admit it or not." Sirius said as he watched October just stand before him.
"Are you alive over there?" He asked as he waved his hand in front of her face. As Sirius was backing up, in those few seconds, a fist connected with his stomach. Sirius doubled over in pain as he clutched his stomach and looked at the compartment floor, trying not to throw up.
"There is nothing wrong with me." October whispered in his ear as she pushed him over. Sirius felt the train come to a halt and watched as October grabbed her dog and began to exit the train.
'She really is crazy. Stupid girl.' Sirius thought to himself as he remembered to keep his distance as he followed October off of the train.
