Afraid To Die Alone (Remus Lupin)

12

"Marley." Harry called from the windowsill in the common room.

"Harry I was looking everywhere for you last night where the fuck were you."

"I was asleep." Harry replied causing Marley to sigh in annoyance.

"You know what never mind, how are you with the whole Sirius Black thing." Marley asked him hoping that he wasn't stressing over it.

"I'm a bit shaken up to be honest by the fact that he got into the castle so easily."

"I'm sure Dumbledore is on top of things anyways." Marley said trying to lessen the boys worries.

"I heard you were the first one to see the portrait. Did you see anything?"

"No I didn't see anything Hazza if I did you would be the first to know."Marley told him lying through her teeth as she ruffled the boys hair.

Marley felt guilty for lying to her brother about the situation last night but she couldn't just tell him "I actually had a conversation with Sirius Black and I am meeting up with him later on." There was no way in hell that Marley potter would tell her thirteen year old brother that. He would think she's insane.

The siblings made their way to the great hall for breakfast after their catch up and Marley felt more relaxed as Harry didn't seem too effected by last night.

"Marley Barley."

"Caspian I swear to merlin I will kill you." Marley snapped glaring at him.

"Harry was right it does make you mad."

"I will kill him. Harry is a dead boy walking right now." Marley growled as they walked to their next class which was history of magic. Marley groaned as she hated history of magic as she found it extremely boring.

"I'm going to start crying." Marley whined as they entered the class and took a seat behind Max. Max never sat with the the two in any class as her two friends have a very bad reputation when it comes to shutting up.

"At least we get to sleep in this class." Caspian sighed already dreading the boring subject.

"Yeah but sometimes I wake up half way through and it's so discouraging when you realise their is another forty-five minutes of this hell."

Marley and Caspian both layed their heads on the table and prepared to sleep. Marley turned her head and looked at her best friend.

"We should of skipped Cas." Marley cried.

"You two are so dramatic the class is actually very interesting if you listen" Max said turning around to the two.

"We aren't all like you Maxine." Caspian grumbled not even bothered by the scolding he will get from Max for using her full name.

"Yeah Maxine." Marley added hoping to get a reaction to spice up the lesson. Max just turned around not even bothered by the twos antics knowing that they were both looking for a reaction. Marley and Caspian both looked at each other and burst into a fit of giggles.

"We are going to sleep now wake us up when the class is over Maxie."

"She's going to murder you Cas" Marley mumbled tiredly already half asleep.

***

Caspian and Marley both woke up to the sound of the classroom door banging.

"I'm up." Marley gasped as soon as she heard the bang.

"That bitch." Caspian said realising that Max never woke the them up.

"We are late for potions." Marley said looking at the clock on the wall.

"I reckon we should skip Marls."

"We cant Minnie warned us that we won't be able to play in the first match if we skip another class." Marley exclaimed.

"Well we might as well start digging our graves now." Caspian responded.

"Don't worry Cas I will use my Potter charm to get us out of this."

Caspian just sighed knowing they were in for it when they get to the potions classroom.

"Potter, Jones your late."

"Sorry professor but Caspian sharted himself in history of magic and had to go get a new pair of clothes and me being the kind and considerate friend I am went to get him the pants so he wouldn't have to deal with the embarrassment of every one knowing." Marley said trying not to laugh and could see Maxine trying to stifle her laughter from the corner of her eye. Caspian looked as if he was ready to strangle Marley for the excuse she came up with.

"50 points from Gryffindor and both of you go straight to Professor Mcgonagalls office now."

Marley and Caspian made their way out the door and headed straight to Mcgonagalls office.

"Marley you are going to regret that." Caspian told her.

"I deserve an award for that performance." Marley exclaimed.

"That was a performance of a lifetime." 

"I have never been so embarrassed in my life Marley."

"Hey this is payback for the time you told Snape that I was given a love potion and couldn't stop lusting after him so I couldn't go to class until the potion wore off."

"That was genius" Caspian argued as they entered Mcgonagalls office not noticing the other professor in the office with her.

"Ms Potter, Mr Jones what has  happened now." 

"Well we both fell asleep in history of magic as one does because that class is so boring and no one thought to wake us up and we were late for potions and Marley decide to make up a whole story saying that I sharted myself and Snape sent us here."

"Minnie it was so funny you should of seen Snapes face." Marley snorted not able to contain her laughter.

"It was humiliating." Caspian said crossing his arms and slumping into the chair in front of Minnie's desk.

"Well I guess I should be going I hope to see you too in class later."

Marley and Caspian both turned to see Professor Lupin standing behind them. They were both shocked to see him there as they hadn't realised he was in the room when they entered.

"Sorry professor we didn't realise you were here." Caspian said to him as Marley was doubled over in laughter. Lupin looked at the two in amusement as the two reminded him a lot of James potter and Sirius Black.

"Continue on I must be going as I have a class in a minute. Thank you Minerva for the tea." Lupin said before exiting the room.

"Biscuit?" Mcgonagall asked the two.
