The Pheonix Girl (Marauders fanfic) COMPLETED

Flying

I own nothing and no one apart from ' the pheonix girl '.

Cassy Dumbledore P. O. V.

I decided to go flying with Sirius. I knew that James was on the Gryfindoor quiditch team but, apart from our flying lessons, I didn't know how good Sirius was.
I wasn't that bad. I was a natural at flying from our first lesson, probably because my animagus is a bird.
We went and got our brooms. Sirius had a Sweeper, the brand that had just come out and hardly anyone had yet and I had a Stardust broom, my 13th birthday present from Albus.
We walked over to the quiditch pitch talking.
"Remus said he'll come later because he's in the-"
"Library?" I cut in.
"Yeah."
"Typical Remus." I said and Sirius nodded in agreement.
"Where's Peter?" I asked and Sirius said, "Probably in the kitchens."
"Doing what?"
"Eating. I dunno, he could be anywhere."
"And we both know where James and Lily are" I said and Sirius rolled his eyes.
We got to the pitch and kicked off. We receding from one goal post to the other. And got a quaffle out off the changing rooms and started throwing off.
I had a strange feeling that Sirius was showing off, that or he had a really slow reaction and was having to perform amazing dives and loop the loops.
After one particular stunt where he stood up on his broom to catch the ball, we both heard a very loud squeal.
We looked down and saw Peter siting in the stands, clapping his hands like a child.
We flew down to him and hovered just in front of him.
"How come your here?" Sirius asked.
"Remus is in the library and James told me that he is busy." Peter said.
"Oh, well," Sirius said, "Why don't you get one of the school brooms and join us?" He asked but Peter shook his head asked nd we flew away and continued in our game of dodge.
After we had finished flying, we put our brooms in the shed and went for a walk while Peter went to find Remus.
"So...." Started Sirius, trying to start a conversation.
"Mmmm? " I mumbled.
"Er... Do you.... like... pizza?" Sirius asked, his hands deep in his pockets as we walked around the lake.
"Yeah, why?" I asked.
"D'ya wanna go get some? I'm starved." He said.
I jumped up and grabbed his hand to pull him up.
When we got into the kitchens we found Peter and Remus in there.
"Hey Moony, Hey Wormy." Sirius shouted.
"Hey Padfoot, Hey S-Cassy" Remus said.
I smiled, it was a little hard to see Remus because he had forgotten the truth, that was my fault though.
"Hey, forgotten my name?" I asked him, mocking accusingly, "Why, did you mistake me for one of Siri's girlfriends?" I growled/laughed.
"Calm down Cass, firstly I haven't got any girlfriends and secondly, Remus was gunna refer to you by your nickname but he stopped himself." He said.
I raised my eyebrows.
"I get a nickname?" I said calmly but I was secretly pleased.
"Ok." I said. "What is it?"
"Steamy." Peter said.
I grinned, "Cos I'm so hot?" I asked.
Sirius rolled his eyes and we all looked at the door as James and Lily walked in.
"Oh hey Prongs!" I said and everyone looked at me.
"How did you know my name?" James asked.
I rolled my eyes.
"Seriously guys, I know more than you think, you underestimate me." I said.
"One of you marauders-" once again they looked shocked that I knew their name- "Left that map in plain sight this morning and I was very dissapointed that I wasn't on it." I said sternly. "And also I know how your nicknames are personal to you.... how is mine to me?" I asked, because they didn't know that I was an animagus.
"Last snowball fight. You completely lost." James said and I rolled my eyes, they were referring to the fact that I couldn't make snow balls without magic.

Flash back

Me, Sirius, James, Remus, and Peter were out in the snow in the grounds. Unoticed to anyone, my feet weas melting the snow around my shoes. It was me and Remus against James, Sirius and Peter. I couldn't do anything to help Remus and eventually, after all I did was make the other's forts and snowballs melt,the fight went all V all. And like good sports, they cornered the only girl, (me) and tried to get me to make a decent snowball. It failed epicly and we were all covered in steam.
After that we went down to the frozen lake, I couldn't go on it so we all just sat in mountains of snow. I realize then that Sirius' teeth were chattering so I went and sat next to him and gave him a warm hug. Then James, Peter and Remus came and sat close too.
Suddenly James spoke, "Why do you have such a warm temperature?" He asked.
I thought about the story me and Uncle Albus had thought up.
"Well..." I started, "I obviously wasn't always an orphan. I never knew my father, so it was just me and mum.
She worked as a potions inventor, and she was looking for the cure to a bite from a ice-crawler.
One day the antidote went wrong, I was sleeping in the room and she was right next to the potion. I was sprinkled in the stuff but she was killed. I've been this way ever since." I told them.
I felt really bad for lying to them but-
end of Flash back

"CASSY!' James yelled.
I jerked back to reality.
"Yeah... Oh whatever..."
I felt suddenly drained.
"Imma go collapse onto an amazing invention called a bed." I told them and staggered out.
I trudged down the hall and bumped into a Slytherin prefect having a go at a Hufflepuff fourth year.
"You better watch it Sibil Trelawney. You're lying, you must not tell lies. You'll be out of this school one day."
"Well, Delores Umbridge, you can't send me out of here. That power lies with the headmaster." The Hufflepuff girl stood up for herself.
"Show respect to a prefect." The large Slytherin girl with the pink bow snarled.
"What if I don't?" the smaller girl with big glasses shot back.
"Then you will have detention. A lot of detentions." The Slytherin girl smiled sweetly.
"Ok." The Hufflepuff said calmly, "And by the way, be wary of the forest. I've seen you in a scary encounter with some half breeds." Sibil said.
Delores strode away, muttering about 'showing her' and 'going into it' and a load if other rubbish.
I looked at Sibil who turned away and was grinning,
"Definitely a ministry one." Trelawney grinned and returned to her lonely walks, looking through her 'inner eye'.

I rolled my eyes and slowly trudged up to the common room and fell asleep in my favourite arm chair.
