It was now late October and it had been about a month since mine and Lily's prank. I had been ignoring The Marauders, Lily and Izzie since, and had been spending my time with Marie and Charlie. Often I would find them catching my eye, in lessons, in the library or in the Great Hall, but they would never speak to me. Well actually that wasn't true, Lily, Izzie, Remus and James had all tried to speak to me but I simply cut the conversation as short as I could. The conversations simply went like this:
(Gryffindor Common Room)
Lily: Hey Avalon, do you know what Transfiguration homework we have for tomorrow?
Me: Um, no sorry, but Katie Welding knows… (Exit quickly)
(On the way to Care Of Magical Creatures)
Remus: Hey Avalon! How are you?
Me: Alright thanks, erm.. I've got to go, I forgot my quill in History Of Magic (Quickly exit)
(In the Great Hall)
Izzie: So Avalon, do you wanna come Hogsmeade with me, Lily and The Marauders?
Me: Sorry, I have plans… (Quickly exit)
(Gryffindor Common Room)
James: Rusty! How's it going?
Me: Erm… Good thanks
James: Good good, so, tell me, when are you going to just ask Sirius out?
Me: I don't know what you're talking about.
James: (Snorts) Oh please.
Me: I've got to go; I need to finish my Charms essay
James: Oh for Merlin's sake, I need to start with my match making skills!
My eyes were a deep grey colour, with a hint of ice blue. With jet-black hair, that was straight with a sweeping side fringe, I looked completely different than I did a few months ago. Sometimes when I saw Sirius, I saw a flash of surprise, and almost hurt flicker across his now stormy grey eyes.
Lily and I avoided each other whenever we could, even in our dorm rooms. We would almost hurry past each other; she'd stopped greeting me with a sympathetic smile like she had done the first week after our argument.
Even my appearance and style had changed. Now I adopted a simple, gothic look, more extreme than it was last time. My eyes permanently rimmed with black, and my lips were stained with a blood red lipstick. People stopped and stared at my new look, a newfound respect dawning on their faces.
I wasn't the simple girl everyone thought of when they saw me, I was a respected, kind of popular girl with new friends and a new beginning, this wasn't the time to be sympathetic to Sirius and his 'friends'. I didn't need them, I didn't need anyone, I was my own person and they were just immature people that I'd never need to speak to again.
Sirius was just an arrogant idiot that was completely worthless and wasn't even worth wasting my time thinking about. As for Lily, Peter and James, they were just as bad. Wasting their time hanging round with a selfish moron like Sirius. Remus was not as bad; he was one of the only ones I could speak to and not feel like I was a completely different person. Sympathetic and quiet, I found it comforting talking to him, he was different to the other Marauders, caring more for books and school than rambling round the school pulling pranks. With sandy coloured hair that flopped into his eyes whenever he leaned down or read a book. He had chestnuty brown eyes that were always twinkling, and his eyes wrinkled at the edge when he laughed. The tallest of the Marauders, he was quite lanky in build and had a large scar running from just above his eyebrow to just past his pale cheekbone. It was pale pink, and stuck out, making his face look a lot skinnier than it actually was.
A new beginning, that's what it was, with new friends, a new appearance and a new school year soon to come, Lily and The Marauders were no longer part of my life, I no longer needed them. I was my own person, and my own life was just about to begin.
