Afraid To Die Alone (Remus Lupin)

13

Marley grabbed some food from the great hall and made her way out to the black lake. The girl was nervous to meet Sirius Black again as she wasn't a hundred percent sure he wasn't planning on murdering her.

"Took you long enough." A voice out spoke from beside her as she walked the tree she usually sits at when she needs to get away from everyone.

"Your not getting any of the food I brought just for that comment." Marley said as she turned towards Sirius.

"You brought me food?" Sirius questioned as he was surprised as he didn't ask her to bring him any.

"Well I thought since you are a prisoner on the run it would be a little hard for you to get food and the generous and kind person I am brought some dinner for you from the great hall." Marley responded.

Sirius grabbed the food out of Marley's bag and started to eat it as Marley looked at him in disgust.

"You look like shit."

"Why don't you go and escape from Azkaban and see how being on the run treats you." Sirius argued.

"I'd wash myself at least."Marley snorted and began to sit down against the tree as Sirius scoffed down the food she brought him.

"Why did you want to meet me out here?"Marley asked him praying to god that he wouldn't actually end up being the murderer everyone made him out to be.

"Well I've been lonely and you are the only person that's seems to not run screaming when they see me."

"I remember you from when I was younger." Marley spoke up.

"I swear you used to practically live with us, you were always around."

"Your father was like a brother to me. His parents took me in when I ran away from home when I was about sixteen. Your grandparents treated me like their own son when I came to them." Sirius told her.

"Why did you run away from home." Marley asked the curiosity getting the better of her.

"I disagreed with my family's views. They were prejudice and were not happy that I was sorted into Gryffindor and me being friends with blood traitors and muggleborns did not help." Sirius laughed.

The two heard footsteps coming their way and Sirius said a quick goodbye and ran off into the forbidden forest.

Of coursed he was that fucking dog.

"Marley I was looking for you. You just ran off after you finished your dinner without saying a word to us." Caspian said coming up to her.

"Yeah sorry I just needed to be alone for a bit after the chaotic day we had."

"Fuck you." Caspian said causing Marley to laugh as she reminisced on her humiliating Caspian in front of their potions class.

"Here I was trying to be a good friend and check up on you and then you bring up that." Caspian huffed and began to walk away causing Marley to jog up to him.

"The twins are throwing a party next Saturday after our game against Hufflepuff."

"Fist party of the year it better be a good one." Marley added.

"If we' re there then it will be Marls." Caspian winked before he tripped over a rock falling head first onto the floor.

"Smooth Cas, real smooth."

Marley was sitting in the common room with her feet on Caspian's lap as she read a book.

"I'm hungry." Marley moaned as she place her book down on her lap not before marking which page she was on.
