Chapter 17: Quidditch and Drowning
It has been a few days and the Quidditch tryouts were in three days. I really wanted to go but then I have to be in my human form. As I laid on the floor of the music room with the guys.
I started to change back I didn't have the energy to do it fast. They watched me as my bones broke and moved to their right places.
I kept my mouth shut and did let out a sound of pain. When it was done I was panting on the floor naked my skin was raw. Charles walked over and knelt beside me. "You ok Red?"
I looked up at him.
"I be fine. I just need to let my skin heal up some."
He nodded and walked back to his seat. Closing my eyes helped with the pain and my skin started to heal faster.
"Come some one get me my clothes?"
Sky was there with my clothes before I could finish. I stood up it felt weird being on my feet again. But I put on my clothes then pulled my bag out.
Walked to a desk and started on my homework. The guys watched as I worked for three hours. When I was done I got up and said.
"I be back I need to give these to my teachers."
Then walked out of the class room. The other teachers were shocked to see me. I gave them my work then left for the next teacher. The same happened with the other teachers.
Lily saw me as she was going to the liberty. She smiled at me I gave her a small one back. After giving the last of my homework to the teachers I went back to the music room. Sky was the only one in there.
"Were are the rest for the pack?"
Sky smiled at me.
"They went to Hogsmeade for some drinks."
I smiled back at him then saw the food.
"I thought you be hungry and didn't want to go down to the Great Hall."
I nodded and went over to the table. We ate and had fun. Then Sky kissed my cheek making my face go red.
"Sky what was that for?"
I looked down.
"Sorry but you are pretty and I couldn't help me self."
I looked up and kissed his cheek.
"Its ok Sky but I like some one else right now and I don't want to hurt you."
He smiled and ruffed up my hair.
"Its ok Mercy I can wait."
My face was redder now. But my wolf was pleased.

It was the day of tryouts and I walked to the pitch alone. It was still early and no one was there. So I kicked off the ground and had a golden snitch that I brought it at a shop. I let it go and waited for a minute and took off after it.
It didn't take long for me to find it and catch it. I kept doing this till it was time for the tryouts. I land and saw the captain walking over to me with a huge smile on his face.
"That was great I come down here early to check the equipment. But when I saw you flying and catching the snitch like that. I think I found our new Seeker."
I couldn't believe my ears.
"Thank you so much but I like to tryout with the others if that's ok. You might find some one better then me."
He had that look in his eyes. No matter what I was going to be the one he wanted. "Ok I see the others as while but I'm saving you for last."
Then we waited for the rest to show up. Sirius and James was walking towards us.
"Hey Mercy good to see you."
Sirius said. I looked at him.
"Piss off Black."
I said back to him. Both of there mouths were open. The Wood came over and told us that the ones who was going to Keeper to line up. Sirius got over his shock and walked to the line. Then the Chasers were to line up.
Two Chasers were to go up against a Keeper. The best of the two Chasers would go on till some one we better then them.
James was one of the first Chasers to go up. All the Keepers sucked, Sirius was the last one up and he was good. The Beaters were doing a great job even if this was there third year being on the team.
Dean Smith and Dirk Brown were out teams Beaters. I sat down and watched them. At the end of the tryouts we had James Potter and Ryan Sorin as our two new Chasers with Troy Wood.
Sirius Black was our new Keeper and all we need was a Seeker. So it was our turn. There were just ten of us but four of them were to big to be a Seeker. Then two of them wasn't great flyers so they were out.
Now there was just four of us. So they had to fly around with the other team members and find the snitch. The one with the best time will be the new Seeker. It took a long time before it was my turn.
When I was I kicked off and before they could even pass the Quaffle I had the snitch.
"We have our Seeker!"
Troy said as he flew towards me. The rest who didn't get on the team walked off the field. We landed and Wood started to talk.
"We have two mouths before our first Quidditch match. So we be practicing as much as we can."
I nodded as put my broom over my shoulder and walked off the pitch to the locker rooms. The others followed me and started to take off there robes and pads. I grabbed a towel and headed for the showers.
The hot water felt good on my body so I stayed in for a long time. When I got out and dressed.
"We need to talk Mercy."
I turned to see the marauders were there. I looked at them.
"Good I have something to say to you first."
I sat down and pulled out my wand. They eyed my wand and waited for me to go on.
"For the good of the team I will be nice to you two-"
I looked at James and Sirius.
"but that's only going to be during games and practice. After that don't talk to me or anything. Unless you want to look different."
Then I walked out of the locker room. Remus walked our behind me.
"Are you mad at me to?"
I pulled him into a hug.
"No I'm not mad at you just them. If it wasn't for you telling me what they said. I would have kept on thinking they were my mates but there not."
I let him go.
"Come on lets go to dinner."
We walked back up to the castle and into the Great Hall. As we eat James, Sirius and Peter came over and sat down. I guess I cant make Remus chose between us. Then I went back to eating they looked at me.
"So Remus for the next moon are we still on?"
James whispered. Remus looked at me like I would be mad or something.
"Yeah we are on."
He said softly waiting for me to say something. So what if they our going to hang out that night with out me.
So what if it hurt me that Remus wasn't going to hang with me that night. I finished my food and stood up and left. Sky and I ran into each other as I head for the stairs.
"Oh sorry Mercy."
Sky said as he steadied me so I wouldn't fall down.
"Its ok Professor."
He smiled at me was we walked up the stairs.
"So whats got you pissed?"
I looked at him.
"How did you know I was pissed?"
He chuckled.
"You have that look when you get mad. You should no emotions when your pissed."
I was pleased that someone pass attention to how I am.
"Yeah you could say I'm but I'm starting to feel better now. You think I could stay in the music room for a few days?"
He smiled at me.
"Sure you can."
I went to my dorm and got some of my stuff and Shadow. When I got back to the music room there was a door there that wasn't there before. Sky walked out of it.
"I hope you like your new room."
I walked to the room it was red and black. The colors of our band and there was a nice size bed there.
"Thanks Sky you didn't have to do this."
I gave him a hug. He hugged me back.
"I was happy to do this Red."
He kissed the top of my head. I pulled away my face red. Sky smiled and was about to leave.
"Umm Sky can you stay with me?"
He turned around and walked back to me.
"Sure I stay as long as you want me to."
I smiled at him then walked to the bathroom and changed my clothes. When I came about out Sky was laying down on my bed with Shadow curled up on his chest.
I giggled softly and I crawled into bed and curled up next to Sky. He put his arms around me as I started to fall asleep.

The next full moon was coming and our practices was long. But on the night of the full moon we got out early. Sky wanted me to stay in the room but I told him I need to hunt. So I left that castle and went in to the forest and changed.
I saw Remus and Madam Pomfrey. After she left the rest of the marauders came out and went to get Remus. I found a hug stag and started to follow it. It came out of the forest and went to the lack to drink.
When it bent its head down is when I attacked. I sang my fangs into its neck and then with a loud 'SNAP'.
Broke its neck so it wouldn't feel anymore pain. As I started to eat I got the feeling I was being watch. So I looked up to see a werewolf, a huge black dog, a rat and a stag watching me.
The werewolf moved closer to me licking its lips at the dead stag at my feet. I licked the blood off my face then went back on eating. Then the werewolf was so close to me that I moved over so he could eat.
The others just sat and watch as we eat the stag. When we were done the werewolf ran back to his friends and they took off. I buried the rest of the stag that we didn't eat. I washed off the blood from my face in the lack.
Then I went back to the forest to wait for the sun to come up. It was a long night but when the sun came up I change and walked back up to the castle. I walked to the hospital wing and took the bed closer to Madam Pompfrey's office.
I laid down and started to drift off to sleep. When she came back with Remus she checked me out then let me go back to sleep. The voice was what woke me up. I looked over at Remus bed and saw James, Sirius and Peter there laughing and talking.
I growled as I rolled over. They must have heard me cause they said loudly.
"She could have kill us. You saw how she took down that stag it could have been me."
James said and Sirius was nodding his head. Tears ran down my face and I couldn't stand to stay in the same room with them.
I jumped up and ran from the room. I didn't stop till I was in the music room. Sky was in his office as I ran into his arms.
"Oi! Whats wrong Red?"
I couldn't talk all I did was cry into his shoulder. He held me and spoke sweet worlds to me, trying to calm me down. When I was done crying I looked up at him. Then something took over me and I snogged Sky.
It took both of us by surprise but Sky snogged me back. He pulled me onto his lap and snogged me. I felt so unwanted by my so called mates. That this felt so right that I didn't care any more about them.
He squeezed my bum and pushed me closer to him. Sky's tongue slide into my own mouth. I moan as his other hand slide up my shirt and started to squeeze my breast hard. Then I heard foot step and I pulled away cursing.
"Whats wrong?"
Sky said as I got off him.
"They are coming I don't want to see them."
I said as I sunk down behind his chair so they wouldn't be able to see me. Then they busted into his office.
"Were is she?"
Remus said as the other guys tried to pull him back.
"She doesn't want to see any of you. I don't know what you did but she came in here crying her heart out. I don't think she will every forgive any of you."
He understood me better then my own self. Remus must have pulled away from them.
"I don't believe you! She wouldn't do that to me! I know her better then that!"
He growled at him. I stood up and looked at them. My eyes were golden.
"His right I will never forgive you. Remus is the only one I care about. But right now I don't want anything to do with the marauders!"
I pulled out my wand and forced them all out of the office and out of the music room. I turned around and walked to Sky and sat on his lap again.
"Thank you Sky. I own you so much."
Then I bent my head down and snogged him again. He groaned and I could feel his erection. Then he picked my up and took me to his room on the other side of the second door in his office.
There was a small room and he laid me down on his bed and got top of me. I push him up and looked at me.
"I don't think I'm ready for sex yet."
I said in a small voice. He kissed my lips once.
"That's fine with me love I don't mind playing around with you till your ready." Then he snogged me pressing up his body up against mine. Making me moan and pulling him closer to me.

Our first match was to day and we were great. Even though I wanted to hex two of my team mates. But I fought it with all my might. I stayed with Sky and I didn't want to move back in to Gryffindor dorm so I had to get all of my stuff.
No one asked me what I was doing. Our first match was up against Slytherin and the plain was to wait till we were 150 points up then get the snitch. The weather was cold but it stopped snowing so we could have a good chance of winning.
So I got up out of Sky's bed got changed then went down to breakfast. I sat with the team I didn't talk but just eat. Wood was talking about our plan.
I knew it from heart and I didn't listen. Remus kept looked at me trying to catch my eye but I kept them down. I let my wolf come out some I was going to need her. I got up and was about to leave when Wood said.
"Oi! Wolf were are you going to?"
I looked at him.
"Going to the locker room. I need to ready my self."
He smiled at me and nodded. I walked out of the Great Hall and made my way to the pitch. As I walked into the locker room I smelled someone behind me.
"What do you want Remus?"
I walked into the locker room with him right behind me.
"Why don't you look or talk to me any more?"
I could hear the pain in his voice. I took off my robed and clothes as I started to put on my gear.
"I don't want to hurt you Remus and I don't want you to chose between me and the rest. I just need time to cool down and get my head straight."
Then I felt arm wrapped around me. I turned and looked at Remus.
"I'm sorry for everything Mercy. I hope you can forgive me and them soon." Then he let go and then left. I watched him leave then started to put on the rest. The team showed up as I was listen to music to pump me up.
I had it a little bit to loud as they walked in they stared at me. Then went to there lockers and started to change. When it was time I turned it off grabbed my broom and followed them out.
I was the last one but my mind was on the match. We walked out on the field then we were off. I took off fast and the other teams Seeker was tailing me. He was smaller then me but with the wind starting to pick up.
So it was hard for him to keep up with me. He wasn't even looking for the snitch. So I stayed on the other side of the field away from the snitch. The match was becoming more brutal but we just needed ten more points then I could catch the blood snitch.
Then James scored and I took off to way the snitch was at. The other Seeker was to slow to I grabbed the snitch and held my hand. The match was over and the Gryffindors cheered.
I landed and most of my team mates flew into me. Hugging and cheering, Wood was crying with happiness. I pulled away and walked to the locker room. I was happy that we won but I didn't feel like celebrating.
I took a hot shower and the team came and went. When I came out I was in nothing but a towel. I walked to my locker but then as I was about to take it off when I looked to the side. Sirius was there watching me.
"What the bloody hell do you want Sirius."
I said as I let the towel drop and I started to change. I looked at him as I was pulling up my pants. His face was red and his mouth was open.
"They wanted me to tell you that there is a party in the dorm and we want you to come."
I pulled on my long sleeve shirt then my robes.
"Thanks but I think I'm just going to sit by the lake."
I walked out and headed for the lack. I sat under the tree by the lake. Then I heard some one be hind me. I jumped up and looked at who was walking towards me.
It was the Slytherin boys and Snape. I was out number and I didn't have time to pull out my wand. The next think I knew I was flying throw the air. I landed in the water I started to scream and trying to swim.
I couldn't keep my self up. I was going to die this was it. I went under the walked and I couldn't breath. I was starting to black out then I felt some one grabbed me. Then I was laying on the ground and some one was snogging me?
No some one was giving me CPR. Then I coughed up a lot of water. I was cold and I opened my eyes and looked up to see Sirius pulling back.
He was dripping wet and he looked worried. I tried to sit up but Sirius put a hand on my shoulder and said.
"Mercy are you ok?"
I left a hand to his face then with the last of my energy I flew up and wrapped my arms around him and sobbed into his neck.
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry I was a bitch to you."
I kept saying this over and over. I didn't let go of Sirius but he held me. I was shaking and it wasn't from the cold. Then he pulled me up in to his arms and he walked back to the castle.
I didn't know were he was taking me till I heard Madam Pomfrey's voice.
"What happened to her! Please put her here Mr. Black."
He put me down on the bed but I wouldn't let him go.
"She wont let me go."
He said but he didn't let me go ether. Madam Pomfrey forced some potion down my throat. It burned but it warmed me up a lot. I was still in shock but Sirius laid in the bed with me.
I didn't want to let him go he saved my life. I would never fight with him or the other as long a I lived. I fell asleep in his arms not wanting to lose him. . .
