Under the Lilac Tree {Sirius Black}

Maraurders Revenge

Sirius, Remus, James, and Peter had jut came out of the hospital wing, looking for Cleo who was in the wind ever since potions. She had not shown up to Charms or Transfigurations.

"I can not believe that he did that" Sirius said shaking his head as their run slowed into a walk.

"What are we talking about?" Remus asked

"What that slimy Slytherin did to Cleo!" Jame said angrily.

"It's evil and down right crule!" Sirius exclaimed.

"Y-yea, crule!" Peter repeated.

-flash back to class-

For potions, Cleo and Sirius where partners in making a more advanced potion than most would have liked, but luckily, Cleo was good at potions.

"Hey Cleo?"

"Yes Sirius?" Cleo asked wile stirring the cauldron.

"Did we already add in the moonseed?"

"Ya, so don't add it!...in." but it was too late, Sirius had dropped it in. "Ugh!"

"sorry..." Sirius said as he averted his eyes from Cleo's gaze.

"It's okay, lets just. . .i'll go get something to balance out the potion."

"Yeeaaahhh..."

Cleo walked over to the back table of the potions room and was balancing and measuring a few things when she heard someone clear their thought behind her. She turned her around and saw a Slytherin boy with bleach blond hair standing behind her. Cleo was told that Slytherin where nasty people, but she was never one to judge a book by its cover.

"Oh, sorry do you need something?" Cleo asked moving aside a little. But then the Slytherin grabbed one of Cleo's slim wrists.

"Agh," Cleo winced in pain. "Can you please let go, agh, that hurts!"

"Shut up you bloody traitor!" He snapped as he picked up a small knife. He made a small cut in her wrist and she yelped.

"Let go of me! Please! Help!" But the classroom was so loud with the talking of other kids brewing their potions she was drowned in the surrounding noises.

As he continued to go slit her wrist, she called out to her friends.

"Sirius! James!" They looked over to her and began to rush to her aid but she had to take matters into her own hands. Because what the boy didn't realize, was how close he was standing to Cleo, so she kicked him where the sun shall not shine. The boy stumbles back and doubled over in pain. Cleo held her wrist as the boys rushed over.

"Cleo what happened?" James asked as he kicked the Slytherin who was now on the floor, but Cleo was not in the mood to explain. She fell over onto whichever one of the boys was closest, as she was beginning to feel a bit faint.

"James tell Professor Slughorn I'm taking Cleo to the Hospital wing!" Sirius said helping a hysterical Cleo to the door.

"Ms. Brooks Mr. Black where are you going?" Professor Sughorn called after them.

-In the Great Hall-

"Hey where have you been?" Remus asked Cleo as she walked in with a mischievous glint in her eye.

"Guys, I think I know our new objective for first year" Cleo said totally ignoring Remus' question looking at all the boys as they sat down in the great hall for lunch.

"Oh yea, an whats that Red?" James asked as he placed a pea in his spoon and catapulted it a girl at the Huffelpuff table.

"To make all Slytherin's school lives a living hell."Cleo said. Immediate grins appeared on Jams and Sirius faces.

"And by living hell we mean..." James started

"We mean showing them why you don't mess with a Gryffindor." Cleo said then turned around to face the big oak doors of the Great Hall just as three boys walked in. Almost the whole hall erupted in laughter as Lucius Malfoy and his sidekicks came in with pink hair, bright pink lipstick, and pink robes.

"W-wait what the-"James started.

"OOOOOOH OOHH MY GOD, TH-THAT IS THE BEST THING EVER!" Sirius said wiping a tear from his eyes.

"Is that where you have been?" Remus asked

"Where else would I be, certainly not missing this"

"I don't know, you just ran off out of the hospital wing, maybe you where sad."

"I don't get sad, I get even." Cleo said in a low voice. James slowly scooted away from her which made Sirius laugh.

"Well Clee, if that's your year goal, you have come to the right people." Sirius said and slung an arm around Cleo's shoulder.

"The right people indeed." Cleo said following Sirius' actions and slung an arm around him.

"So, why should we call ourselves then?" Cleo asked

"What do you mean?" James asked.

"I mean, If this is going to be our thing. That I mean" she said pointing to the Slytherin table. " we should have a name for ourselves, don't you think?"

"How about... James, Cleo, Sirius, Remus, and Peter kick arse?" James said nodding his head and starring off into space.

"James, I think that is a bit of a mouth full don't you think?" Remus said.

"Yeah, we need something catchy." Peter explained

"How about, Sirius Has Nice Hair?" Sirius suggested. Everyone just stared at him blankly.  "No...?"

"The Marauders! " Cleo exclaimed.

"Yeah, I like that! Marauders... what's a marauder?" James asked

"A person who marauds." Remus said taking a bite of his sandwich.

"Thanks Remus, that helps a lot." James said rolling his eyes.

"What?!" Remus said looking back defensively.

"It's a person who steals thing, a thief of sorts." Cleo said.

"Ooooooohh." James said. 

"Yeah, that's about as accurate of a description you can get of us." Sirius said nodding. "Peter?" 

"Huh?" he said as he looked up from the hunk of cheese he was eating. 

"What do you think?"

"About what?"

"Never mind" Sirius said with a sigh.

"Well then, this is the beginning of the Marauders revenge." James said with a sly smile.
