Wisteria Hawthorne and the Magical Mischief of the Marauders

The Spy

       " Alright Remus, you know the plan right? Pretend to be on their side and report back to me anything that they are planning against me," Wisty confirmed. Remus nodded." And you remember the code?"Remus nodded again. Wisty then slouched her shoulder and said loudly," I understand Remus, you have to room with them. Well good luck, you'll need it." With that Remus went to tell James that he had sided with them. Peter had also joined Sirius as he thought it would make him more noticeable. That was okay with Wisty though, she had told Lily what was going on and the girl had agreed to help her. She had also recruited another girl from their dorm, though she was more the distracter than anything else. She had only agreed to stall when trouble arises.
       Wisty, while making war plans, had been worrying about her dear cat and so decided to go see professor Flitwick. She grabbed Margeret and headed out of the common room. She turned down the hallway after descending the stairs and rapped on the charms teacher's door. When the door opened she smiled and began to explain the situation.
        " Hello professor! I was wondering if you could help me with something. You see my cat is blind and I'm worried that she isn't moving around enough. I was just thinking maybe you could help me charm her collar so she would be able to move without running into things?" The professor smiled and grabbed Mar from Wisty's arms and placed her on his desk. He grabbed his wand and said something quietly while waving his wand in a loopy pattern.
         " The bell on her collar will ring when ever she gets close to something that could harm her. Now she will be able to move about as she wishes."
        " Thank you so much Professor. I'll be sure to pay extra attention to your lessons from now on!" Wisty grabbed Mar and rushed out while Flitwick stood with a baffled look on his face.

     Wisty sat quietly under a tree near the black lake and watched the water move in the breeze. She was thinking about whether or not she should make the first move against Sirius. She thought that if she was very careful, she could look innocent through out this whole ordeal. If she made the first move she lost that chance, so she would wait.
          " They're about to make the first move. I suggested that I go distract you so they would be less likely to be noticed. It's definitely something my mom would love," Remus said quickly. Something his mum would love,  that means they will get into a lot of trouble.    Brilliant. She fake laughed pretending it was what Remus said.
              " I think that your mum sounds very lovely."  Don't do anything, I have a plan.       Remus nodded as if agreeing with her statement and leaned against the tree. Wisty smiled at him and the gazed at the black lake, hugging her knees. She heard something in the tree above her but ignored it. She then looked at Remus who was standing up and bid him goodbye. The second he was far enough away she heard a war cry and was covered in mud. She spluttered and made tears come to her eyes as she looked up at the smirking faces of Sirius and James.
          "What is going on here?! Potter! Black! Get down from there right now! Ms. Hawthorne are you alright?" Professor McGonagall asked. Wisty brought more tears to her eyes and nodded.
          "I'm okay professor," Wisty said, making her voice break when she said okay. McGonnagall turned to the two boys responsible and began scolding them. They both looked at Wisty with wide eyes and she just smirked at them slightly.
          "Detention, both of you. Ms. Hawthorne please come with me." McGonnagall led her to the prefect bathroom and instructed her to get cleaned up. She then informed her that she would fetch clean clothes for her.
         Wisty stripped her muddied clothes off and started the bath. She placed her clothes in a nearby sink and sank into the warm water. She went completely under and scrubbed her head free of the disgusting and sticky mud. She then scrubbed her body and her face. She triple checked in the mirror for more mud before grabbing a towel and drying off. She heard someone coming and smiled when she saw Lily with her clean clothes.
        " It was a sounds lovely situation?  Good call, they have a weeks worth of detention and they have to apologise when they see you. I'm thinking I should get them to prank me," Lily said impressed. Wisty giggled and went into a stall to change. When she came back out she and Lily left to Gryffindor tower.          
        Upon entering the tower she saw Remus standing by the fireplace while Sirius and James sat on the sofa. When they spotted Wisty they furrowed their brows in anger.
          " You snake! You didn't even tell McGonagall that we are at war! You just let us get in trouble, that's not fair! Just you wait, we'll get you really good." Sirius threatened. Wisty put on an innocent mask and gasped in suprise.
          " What war? And why are you threatening me? Haven't you done enough?" Wisty asked sadly. As she was walking away she whispered" all is fair in love and war, it would do you good to learn that." And went to sit with Lily and Jane, the staller. " and to think they were supposed to apologise."
          
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

        Wisty sat down for dinner in the great hall two seats away from the rest of her friends and grabbed the veggies that she wanted from the plates in front of her. She was about to start eating when the space between her and the four boys she had been avoiding, disappeared. She turned to them and noticed Remus was the one beside her instead of Sirius.
        " Can I help you?"Wisty asked. The boys just continued staring at her. She shrugged and began to eat. Throughout dinner she could feel the stares of James and Sirius, but she ignored them with grace. Finally when she was finished they stopped staring and began eating, themselves. She had finished rather quickly as she did not eat much as it was, and was glad because she didn't want her friends to be hungry. She rose from her seat only to be yanked down again by Remus. She looked at him questioningly and raised an eyebrow at his blank expression. Sighing she turned so she was facing the table and saw Lily mouthing something to her. It looked like, 'don't drink out of your goblet'. Wisty widened her eyes in realisation and knocked over her goblet making it look like an accident. She looked at the boys to see frustration on their faces. She then excused herself saying she needed to clean up.
          When Wisty got into the common room she set up her plan. She made a wet spot on the floor just in front of the door and waited behind the corner. As soon as James and Sirius came in she would freeze it and watch as they fell, then when they went to tell someone she would get rid of the evidence and rush to the bathroom. Once there she would get her hair wet and pretend to have taken a quick shower to get rid of the tea smell. She had already placed her pyjamas in the bathroom and her usual shampoo. She was ready.
        Just like she expected James and Sirius showed up before anyone else. She whispered the spell she needed and watched as the boys slipped and fell on the ice. She the watched as they ran out the room shouting for Mcgonnagall. She quickly unfroze the water and said a drying spell before rushing to the bathroom. Wisty then leaped out of her clothes, changed into her pj's and put her head in the sink. Turning the water on she lathered some shampoo into the ends of her hair and washed it out. Double checking that all of her hair was wet, she grabbed a towel and started squeezing her hair dry. As soon as she stepped out of the bathroom and walked into the common room she was bombarded with ''aha's"from the boys. She made herself look startled and confusedly looked to McGonagall who just shook her head.
         " You two are ridiculous. She just came out of the shower and there is no ice patch. I can't believe you would try to blame her for such a thing. You're lucky I don't give you more detentions for dragging me here. Ms. Hawthorne I am so sorry for all of this. Hopefully these two will leave you alone soon. "
          "Hopefully. "Wisty watched as McGonagall left and then once she was gone turned to the boys and smiled. " I do accept surrenders.  And they don't have a time limit." She smirked at their angry faces and hugged them both good night, though she carefully noted that Sirius tensed up immensely when she hugged him. Deciding not to forget it she went up to bed. She would ask him about it some other time.
