AN: I'm watching the movies this weekend to try and get a mix of the movies and the books and some of my own twists and turns. Hope you don't hate me for changing some of the things that happened trying to make some of it my own. Still not JK Rowling.
Sirius POV
October passed slowly and I absolutely dreaded the thirty-first that was quickly approaching. Remus and I had an unspoken agreement that we would spend it together reminiscing about James and Lily. We would probably get as drunk as skunks and smell just as bad too but that would be okay.
The days blurred one into the another as I tried to find things to do between the Order meetings. Unfortunately the most I did was clean and I did it with vigor to try and distract myself. I missed Harry he was so much like James it was amazing but he had a lot of Lily in him too. And my sweet little Hermione, oh how I missed spending time with her. I heard things from time to time about what was going on at the school from Snivellous and Minerva.
"Hey Pads?" Remus called from the hall.
"In the Living Room Moony," I called trying to kill some large spiders that were scuttling in the glass case.
"What you doing?" He asked obviously trying not to laugh. I turned and he had a small smirk on his face.
"Trying to kill these bloody spiders." I shot another spell at it and it doubled in size. What the? Remus was laughing harder now.
"Watch and learn." He grabbed a book and stepped closer to the cabinet waited a moment then smashed the spider with the book which made a sickening squishing sound.
"Smooth," I said nodding.
"Yeah the Order meeting is about to start Albus is waiting downstairs." I nodded and stowed my wand in my pocket. We made our way downstairs chatting about potential jobs that Remus was trying to get but that foul Umbridge woman had made so many restricting laws for werewolves there were barely any left he could take.
"Sirius are you getting thin?" Molly asked eying me warily the moment I walked through the door.
"Of course not Molly." I muttered sitting at the table. I was but I was not about to tell her that, she would make me more food than I could possibly eat.
"Eat this." She said placing a plate filled with bacon sandwiches in front of me. I sighed and grabbed one. It was usually better to just eat it so she would get off your back
"Tastes good Molly." Remus said quickly eating his sandwich. She smile and put the kettle on.
Albus walked in a moment later the twinkle completely gone from his eyes with Minerva a few steps behind him. My stomach dropped like a stone oh Merlin this would be a difficult meeting. Minerva sat at the table next to him close to tears. Albus started in immediately.
"A young student, who wishes to remain nameless, has come forward and told me what happened in her detention with Delores." He took a deep breath and continued. "She is using a blood quill for them to write lines." Molly sat heavily at the table, Minerva gave a soft dry sob, Remus ran his hands through his graying blonde hair and I gripped the table to steady myself. She was torturing the students to keep them in line.
"Are you positive Albus?" Remus asked faintly.
"Yes she showed me her hand it was discolored and bruised with the faded words." Albus said shakily running his hands over his eyes.
"Who has she given the most detentions to?" Molly asked shakily summoning a bottle of Firewhisky and enough glasses for everyone. Minerva gave another sob, blew her nose loudly and dabbed at her eyes.
"You already know," Albus said softly. Yeah I did, she would go after Harry and the others to keep them quiet. The growl was out of my mouth before I could stop it and I pushed back from the table my wand in hand. All I could see was red and my blood boiled with anger.
"Sirius no!" Remus grabbed me and pulled me down next to him. "If you go get yourself locked up in Azkaban what would Harry or even Hermione do?" I deflated and laid my head on the table in defeat.
"How many detentions have they had?" I asked dully as Remus poured me a large drink. I downed it in one large gulp.
"Harry's had fifteen if I counted correctly." I closed my eyes and gripped the table harder ignoring Molly and Minerva's sobbing. Merlin it would become a scar by the end of the year at this rate.
"The twins, Ron and Ginny have only had detention with Severus so they are fine." I breathed a sigh of relief Snivellous may be many things but he wouldn't torture his students like that.
"And Hermione has been in the library so much she only leaves for class and barely speaks so she hasn't gotten any." I gave another sigh of relief thank Merlin she was okay. But poor Harry why did everything seem to happen to him?
A moment later the door crashed open and Dung came running in breathing heavily.
"Albus, Harry and the others are starting a secret Defense Against the Dark Arts group!" My mouth dropped open in shock my eyes wide. Oh shit they better not have gotten the idea from me.
Apparently it was a Hogsmeade weekend and thery went into the Hog's Head to hold the meeting. They shouldn't have done it in there too easy to be overheard. Dung said Harry had seemed reluctant and that Hermione had done most of the talking. At the end they all signed a paper saying they wouldn't tell anyone about their group. I closed my eyes and sighed, damn they had gotten the idea from me.
AN: Please review. Tell me what you love, what you hate, certain things you want to happen, pairings, anything. I try to please my readers the best I can and I also try to update as much as I can.
