Hope and The Marauders (ON HOLD)

Chapter t w e n t y - f o u r

"James what are you doing? Aren't you madly obsessed with Lily?" I asked.

"That's why I'm going with you." He said smirking.

"Lovely." I muttered sarcastically.
I entered the great hall and took a seat next to Marlene and started picking at some grapes.
Someone sat next to me and put there arm around me so I looked up to see Sirius, I smiled, kissed his cheek and ate some more grapes.

"Hope Mikaelson!" I heard Lily say.

"What'd I do now?' I asked with a sigh and she laughed a little.

"You missed all your classes this morning, lucky for you I wrote down notes from all the classes we share. What exactly were you doing?" She asked tilting her head to the side.

"Running around the black lake, had a interesting conversation with Sirius' deranged cousin, showed the marauders my best painting by getting in their heads got changed then came here." I told them.

"Wait, you got in their heads? Is that exactly how it sounds?" Marlene asked and I nodded.

"So you could find out or see anything in their heads?" Alice asked.

"If I wanted to. But I didn't." I told them.

"What do you mean get in my head?" James asked.

"Well, I could see memories, or put things in your head. Because I'm not a full vampire I have to concentrate or you have to let me, or you have to be in a vulnerable state. But again, I didn't want to nor will I ever do that to you guys." I told them.

"Good." Peter squeaked and I laughed.
I put my notes in my bag and stood up.

"Okay, I have to go. I have DADA. Don't want to be late for this years git." I said walking out of the great hall and to class.

"Hope wait up!" I heard someone call from behind me, I turned around to see Sirius I stopped and smiled.
He caught up and held out his hand to which I took with a smile. "What do you think this lesson will be? The gits unpredictable." He said.

"Right?" I asked laughing.
Right as we walked into I kissed his cheek and we found a spot to sit on the floor since all the desks were moved.
Just then the cupboard in the corner moved and I jumped and Sirius chuckled and put his arm around my shoulder.

"Now who can tell me what is in that cupboard?" The git of a Professor asked.
Lily, who I just realized was here, raised her hand.
"Yes Miss Evans?" The Professor asked.

"That's a boggart sir." She said with a proud smile.

"Can you explain a boggart looks like Miss Evans?" He asked.

"Nobody knows sir, the boggart takes the form of whatever the person fears most." Lily said quietly as if just realizing what she said.

"10 points to Gryffindor. Now the charm to get rid of a boggart is 'Riddikulus' now, get in a line, and when I open the cupboard I want you to say the incantation, think of something you find funny and go to the back of the line. In a line." He said and everyone did, even Sirius did, I just kept sitting down.

"Miss Mikaelson, on your feet." He ordered.

"I'm good thanks. I'd rather not nor would I rather anyone else to see my worst fear." I said smirking.

"If you don't, you either do it after class or detention." He threatened.

"Then detention it is. Not a hard choice if that's the alternate one. Better get on with the class." I told him smiling.

"Detention." He said and I nodded with a smile. "Ready. Wands at the ready." He said and everyone nodded.

I wasn't paying attention, I was busy drawing Sirius, until I heard his name being called, then I looked up at him and smiled. I put my book back in my bag and paid my full attention. 

He got to the front and then the boggart turned into me saying I could never love him, and he doesn't matter, then all our friends were in front of us dead, and the boggart me said it was his fault, I had enough, he looked like he was having a panic attack, so I walked in front of him and hugged him, whispering sweet nothings in his ear when I heard me laugh.

I slowly turned around, seeing me, only an evil fully tribrid version of me, then me holding a white oak stake and my family dead around me.
I pointed my wand at it and said the incantation.
"Riddikulus!" And it turned into a jack in a box.
I turned to the Professor and smirked though the tears in my eyes betrayed me.
"Guess I don't get detention." I said.
I grabbed my bag and Sirius' hand and lead him to the black lake where I sat down with my back against a tree.

"Are you okay?" Sirius asked.

"Yeah. Is that what you're afraid of? Us not loving you? Or is dying and it being your fault?" I asked sadly.

"Yeah. Even though I know it's not true, I can't help but fear. I didn't really understand what you're afraid of though." He said as he laid his head in my lap and I played with his hair.

"Well, I'm afraid of becoming everything my family has tried to stop me from becoming. A monster. That was me as a full tribrid, the stake that was in my hand is the only thing that can kill my family. And I feared that I will be the cause of my family's death. I already blame myself for a lot of peoples death. If I kept standing there it would have morphed into something similar to yours. Or worse. If I kept going the whole class would need therapy." I said as I looked at the black lake and kept playing with his hair.
"I know I act like I'm not, but after I came to this school I've been afraid of more things. When I had no one or nothing it was better because then I had nothing to lose... but now I have a lot." I told him not letting my tears fall.

"It's okay to be scared Hope. It doesn't make you weak." Sirius said looking up at me, I looked at him and smiled. "Thank you." He said and I looked at him confused by his words. "If you didn't stop the boggart it would have turned into something I haven't told anyone, not even the boys. And if I tell you all hell could break lose." He said smirking.
I just laughed and leant down to kiss him, it was a short sweet kiss, but it said more than words could.

"You know it." I told him laughing he chuckled and smiled. "Come on. We should go before our friends worry." I said standing up making Sirius roll off me and groan then look at me with a mischievous smirk and I just ran laughing.

I felt him wrap his arms around my waist from the back pulling me to him and kissing my cheek, grabbing my hand and pulling him to class.
