Stranded (Sirius Black x OC)

11

The following few days after Alice's outburst she'd found James being cornered in deserted halls, Peter being locked into cupboards in the dark with the door being held shut whilst he begged to be let out, and Remus, who she almost felt bad for as he was nice to her on the train in first year, Remus had people following him making him feel as if they were going to pounce at any time. Paranoia started to set in on the three boys. 

The whole of Hogwarts now knew about the attack on Alice, and now about the girls battle back. Slytherins were representing her as pawns on a chess board, attacking at her word . All four houses were cowering under her, the Gryffindors were lacking in their bravery, Ravenclaws knew better than to disrupt the hierarchy and the Hufflepuffs were finally gaining power as they now had a voice as they were the favoured house among Slytherins.

Sirius had grown tired of Alice's rise in Hogwarts, he was confused on why he wasn't being targeted But he was certainly not going to let the rest of Hogwarts go in to fear. The boy strutted over to the group of Slytherins sitting around a tree. "Alice Marie Nott!" He yelled causing the auburn haired girl to jump causing Lucius to stop stroking  her hair and lifting her head from his lap jumping up to greet the calling voice. Running a few steps, before stopping in front of the brown eyed boy. Despite Alice's queen like persona, she was a child at heart and for a moment or two as she stood in front of the boy who she once called her best  friend. For those few moments she forgot about their fight on the train, she forgot about the beating that she took from him and her parents, she forgot about covering up his mistakes that could cost him, and her. For a moment in her eyes they were just children who were standing about to speak. They were standing, and she was blissfully unaware of what he was really there for.

"What are you doing." He said loud enough to gather the attention of everyone around. "I tought you were better than this Alice. Honestly. Scaring people into following you around like scared little puppies. God, I thought you were better than a heartless Slytherin." Growls from fellow Slytherins in response to his last remark. Sirius' eyes were glowing with hate and his hair had fallen over his eyes slightly giving him a vicious look adding to his crooked tie and frantic shirt. Alice was shocked and slightly disheartened as her blissful  moment had come to an end. She face had slightly sunken from her optimistic expression she had previously had. "Sirius Orion Black, you have no right, no right what's so ever to come marching over to me like this. I tought you'd want to come back home to your rightful place here. I thought you were better than a pathetic sleazy meek Gryffindor." The girl spat him.

There was whispers breaking out around the two as they stared each other down neither wanting to back down. "Home?" The boy looked hurt after processing this statement. "Home is not somewhere you despise. Is somewhere you want to be Alice. Not somewhere where your scared of doing wrong. God don't you get it I hate at the house. I only stayed for Reggie, hes got you now so i wont be going back to the place you call 'home' Alice" there was complete silence, not even the wind made a sound. That was until there was a smack of skin hitting another, a it's colliding with a cheek. Regulus' fist colliding with Sirius' cheek. Alice looked at the younger Black who was still her height. 

She looked at down to his hand that was now cut by the knuckles. He'd never hit anyone before, that hit might have broken a few fingers. She put her hand on his back and lead him away from the crowd. Only stopping to tell the crowd that the show was over.
