Stranded (Sirius Black x OC)

10

"I was with Snape." The girl lied hoping to not get caught by her blatant lie. There was silence surrounding the two Slytherins. Nobody dared to say a word, they just watched until a voice called out as feet were pattering down the common room stairs. "Alice, are you alright? Did you fight them off? I'm sorry I left, I should have stayed. I'm sorry. Did you get them in trouble?" The boy was cut off by Alice's voice "Severus!"  The girl was worried now that her cover was blown. Not for her, but for the boy. 

"What do you mean fight them off? Fight who off Alice?" Lucius' patience was wearing thin as her waited for an answer. Alice's green eyes looked everywhere but meeting his own glaring back at her. "Alice!" He yelled and the girl flinched at the suddenness. 

"I got in a fight with James Potter and his friends." She replied in a whisper uncertain of what was to come. "I was at the lake with Severus and the three of them came up and started firing hexes at him. When I told them to stop they did it on me instead." The common room was a quite as dust setting. Lucius was outraged with The younger black haired boy. Asking him repeatedly where he was at the time of this whilst backing him to a corner. 

Despite Sirius doing most of the damage, Alice wasn't going to tell anyone what he'd done. After all it would Get back to their parents. Over the previous summer holiday they hadn't made an effort with talking to each other, and Sirius hadn't given a moments thought about everything that Alice had hidden for him. All the other things he had been caught doing had enough punishment to make someone want to go to Azkaban. He might be the worlds worst friend, but she most definitely wasn't.

"Boys get your wands, we're teaching them rats a lesson." The blonde spoke to his friends as they all stood up Alice spoke up, "No. Sit. Down. Your not going anywhere. I don't need you to fight for me, I'm perfectly capable of defending myself thank you very much. I'm meant to be the future queen of Slytherin when you all leave. If I'm going to have some kind of power at all I can't have a load of 7th years doing my dirty work just yet. So sit back down and stop baabing me because I'm not a god damn child." The girl was radiating a dark aura that caused everyone to follow her orders out of fear. Lucius looked at her in surprise before scoffing and turning away to the dorm, everyone following him out.

Relaxation washed over Alice as she fell onto the sofa in front of the green glowing fire. She thought about the mysterious boy from the storm previous to all the shouting. How stupid were they to go out in the middle of a storm to rescue some random girl. They had to be a Gryffindor. It was that kind of narcissistic bravery that gained yourself a name for you self in that house. The question is, did she want to find them again or not?
