The Marauder Stories: Sirius Black

Chapter Ten

Chapter Ten

“Don’t push your luck Black.” Arianna said and left Sirius outside, she immediately went inside the greenhouse and found a vacant seat next to a fellow Gryffindor, she didn’t want to sit next to Sirius ‘Now what happened to being nice because he covered for you?’ her conscience asked ‘Yeah but it was getting annoying’ Arianna’s mind argued.

She sat immediately to the vacant seat and agreed with her mind instead of her conscience “Hey I’m getting annoyed, and I’m not a saint you know.” She told herself so she wouldn’t feel guilty. Her fellow Gryffindor seatmate was a boy, he had light brown hair, and brown eyes, he was reading ‘A studious one’ Arianna thought.

“Um, hi may I seat here?” Arianna asked

The boy looked up

“Oh sure.” He said, when Arianna saw him that’s when she realized “Oh Merlin, he’s with Potter and Black, I’ll just take another seat, but then I might get seated next to Black again, he seems nice and kinda mature and he’s a prefect, oh fine.” Arianna thought to herself, she sighed and took a seat “At least Black can’t get near me.” She thought

“I’m Remus Lupin by the way.” He said offering his hand, Arianna noticed that he had some scars, but she didn’t mind and took his hand “I’m-“but before she could finish

“Hello Moony, I see you’ve met my friend Riddle here.” Said Sirius smirking behind them

Arianna rolled her eyes, while Remus just smirked with his friend, Arianna let go of his hand.

“Hey why can’t we have a proper introduction? I’ve tried a million of times but you keep on walking out on me.” Sirius said pretending to be hurt

“Because I refuse to be decent to someone who can’t talk to other people with respect and dignity.” Arianna spat and turned her back on him. “Yep I was right you have an Evans in your hands.” Remus mouthed to Sirius, at which Sirius nodded at, their professor came in by then and Sirius had to take his seat, far at the back which Arianna loved.

“I can see you don’t like my mate Sirius.” Remus said as they were taking down notes

“As you can refer to earlier’s scene yes.” Arianna replied coolly

Remus just smirked at her reply

“Sorry,” Arianna said apologetically “I shouldn’t get mad at you too.” She meant it; she didn’t have to be mad at Remus just because he was Sirius’ friend

“It’s fine,” Remus started “You shouldn’t get mad at him though, give him a chance, get to know him you’ll see that… He doesn’t appear to be as you think it seems.”

Arianna stared at Remus as if to say “Seriously?”

“Are you just saying that because he’s your friend, or he told you to?” Arianna inquired, and Remus chuckled

“No, I just know you two will get along.” He replied knowingly

‘What the hell?’ Arianna thought ‘Get along? We can’t even agree.’

“I think that’s where you’re wrong, we don’t get along we’re too different.”

Remus just nodded and smiled knowingly “You’ll see.” He said and they continued taking down notes until the end of the class.

After class Arianna fix her things and got her bag, as she got out of the classroom, she headed to her next class relieved that Sirius wasn’t following her, when she got to D.A.D.A she quickly saw a vacant table in the middle she immediately took the seat, and got out her parchment and quill. She didn’t have a seatmate yet.
