Chapter 5: A Friends Fight
The next few days we talk about what we were going to do when the full moon comes. Since Remus and I have to change under the full moon. Then James was going through a book in the library. When he found a book about Animagi.
"Hey guys what about this?"
We walked over to him and Sirius smirked.
"That's is perfected but its going to take us a while. For us to get it right."
I walked behind James to get a better look at it.
"Hmm yes it is. But till then I stay with Remus on the full moons."
I smiled over at him and his face turned pink. James and Sirius started to snigger and I smacked them in the back of the heads.
"Ouch! What was that about?"
They said at the same time. I took the book and started to read as I said.
"Cause your going to get us kicked out."
But they laughed harder. The librarian came over and asked us to leave. I checked out the book and some other ones. She didn't say anything about all the books about Animagi. We were walking back to the common room. When Adam called my name from down the corridor.
"Oi! Mercy!"
I stopped and look back. The boys looked back as I walked over to him.
"Hey Adams what's up?"
He smiled at me.
"I wanted to see if you wanted to play some chess. But I guess you have a lot of homework."
He eyed my books. I smiled at him.
"No this isn't homework. I just wanted to no more about Animagi. Let me drop this off my books and I meet you-"
Before I could finish Sirius pulled me back. Pushing me ahead of him. I tried to turn around but I couldn't.
"Give me ten minutes and I see you in a bit!"
I yelled over my shoulder. When we went up the stairs Sirius said.
"Why are you all was hanging with him?"
He glowed at me. I put the books down on a table.
"Cause he is my friend. Why cant I have other friends?"
Sirius looked at me.
"Yes you can but not him!"
I was so mad that I turned on my heel and left. I walked to our room that no one ever uses. Adam was waiting for me as I enter the room. He was sitting at the table as I walked over.
"You look pissed."
He said as he waited for me to sit. I sat down and looked at him.
"Sirius is acting like a older brother. But we are the same age."
I said in a angry voice.
"Can we play so I can claim down?"
Adam smiled and we started to play. I was getting good. I won some he won some. We played for a few hours then went down for dinner. Not a lot of people were there. The boys were there but I sat with Adam at his table.

When I got back to the common room. The boys were waiting for me.
"Why didn't you sit with us?"
I looked at Sirius.
"Cause you really ticked me off."
I balled my fist trying to stop me from shacking. But it wasn't working.
"But you are our friend first."
SMACK.
I smacked him then ran to my dorm. I laid down and Shadow crawled on to my pillow. He licked my nose trying to cheer me up.
I patted him and started to hum a song. Singing made me feel better. Shadow started to close his eyes then fell asleep. I soon to fell asleep crying still.

The next weeks I stayed away from my friends, even my sweet hearted Adam. They tried talking to me but I just ran away from them. Even in class I sat alone I didn't eat with any one. I was losing a lot of weight.
One the full moons I did stay with Remus. Even if he doesn't remember. He tried to talk to me when we were in the Hospital Wing. But I left before he could leave.
The boys came to see him and to try to talk to me. But I felt as they turned the corner. My nose smelled the food. So I went down to eat but Adam was there waiting for me. I turned into the Hufflepuff corridor.
I could smell food so I followed my nose. I came to a portrait of fruit. The smell was coming from behind it but how could I get in?
I put a finger on it and then slid it down the pear and it giggled? It started to move and giggle more. Then a door handle appeared were the pear was.
I pulled on it and the portrait come forward. On the other side of the door was a very huge kitchen. There were four tables like the ones in the great hall. Then about fifty house-elves come up to me. Asking me if they could get my anything thing. I smiled at them.
"Will I'm hungry. Can I get what you fixed for dinner?"
I ask. They squeaked with delight as the hurried off and came back with a small table, a chair and food. I wolf it down. Not eating a good meal in a few weeks. And not hunting under the full moon doesn't help ether.
Then they brought me some tea. It was getting late and I was tired. I think them for the food.

When I walked into the common room there was no one there. Or so I thought, the James and the rest stood up. I looked at them and walked the girls dorm. But James ran and stood in front of it.
"Mercy we have to talk."
I looked at him and trying not to cry in anger. James put a hand on my shoulder trying to lead me back to the fire. I shrugged him off and walked back to the fire. He sat down but I stayed standing. Then James punch Sirius in the arm and he looked at me.
"I'm sorry Mercy. We miss you please talk to us again."
He sounded sorry. I walked to the window.
"I want to forgive you but you hurt me mate. I don't know if I should. Are you going to still tell me who I can and cant be friends with?"
I looked at Sirius when I said this. James looked at him too.
"Yes. I stop telling you who you can and cant hang with."
I nodded and sat with Remus and put my head on his arm. He put his head on to of mine. Peter was by my feet. I put my hand on top of his head.
He looked at me and smiled. A smiled popped on my face. I haven't smiled like this in a long time.

(A few months later)
We just got out of our exams. So we went out on to the grounds. We sat by the lake watching the giant squid swim lazily on top of the water. I was in my muggle clothes. I really didn't like wearing my robe. They boys thought I was weird but they loved me any way.
And I got my revenge on Professor Burr, for giving me detention. I found a really good hex. The hex was I put on him. Was that it said
"Please Curse me."
On his back. And the best part was that no matter what he put's on it come back. I didn't know how long it last.
"That was a good hex Mercy."
I smiled up at James.
"I told you I was going to be my revenge on him."
I smiled up at the sky and giggle. They started to laugh with me. I didn't feel bad at what I did. Even when every one in the school (besides the teachers) was hexing or cursing him. We only had two weeks left at school.
I didn't know were I was going to go. I didn't have any other family that I know of. Guess I have to go and find a place to live. I didn't let them know that I didn't have any were to go. I got up I didn't feel like sitting around.
I wanted to go and see my mothers grave.
"Were are you going?"
I looked a Remus.
"Going for a walk."
Sirius looked at me.
"What us to come with you?"
I knew he wanted to make sure I wasn't going to go and see Adam.
"No I'm just going to walked around the lake."
They nodded and I started to walk. I got to the place were the island and no one could see me. When I got to the island I sat down in front of her grave.
"Hey mom sorry I haven't been able to come and see you. The summer holiday is in two weeks. So I wont be able to come and see you till next term."
Then I heard a twig snap. With out thinking I stood up and yelled. "EXPELLIARMUS!"
And four wands few up to me. Catching them I knew who's wands this where.
"You guys come out."
I said. James, Remus, Sirius and Peter walked our of there hiding place.
"What are you guys doing here?"
I said as I sat back down.
"We wanted to see were you keep running off to."
Remus said as he sat next to me.
"I been coming to see my mum."
James sat on the other side of me.
"If you don't mind me asking mate but why is your mum bury here for?"
I leaned on James.
"She was murdered on the grounds. So Professor Dumbledore buried her here."
He nodded.
"Sorry for you lost."
I smiled at him.
"Its ok. That's how life is. You live and you die."
He put a arm around me. It was getting dark and we headed back to the common room. . .
