Amazons VS Marauders

Chapter 17: The Phoenix

Brushing her long wavy brown hair, Sofia was swearing under her breath, anger flooding throught her veins. It was her only way to react, after all. The Marauders were slowly gaining power, while the Amazons' was slowly decreasing. And all of this because of a stupid drama that got out of control.

Did Sofia feel bad about the way she felt about Theresa stealing Sirius' money? No, not at all. Did she regret saying all those things? It depended.

Sofia didn't want any of this to happen. She'd never have thought their friendship would be tored appart that easily. She would have never thought Theresa would steal. Sofia would have never think she'd date Sirius Black. Yet, all those things happened. It all happened so quickly, Sofia felt overwhelmed, not knowing what to do.

Sofia always hated everything that was illegal. Stealing, cheating, vandalism. She always thought it was only for selfish purposes, and wouldn't change her mind that easily. Because when Theresa stole that money, it was for a selfish matter. It was to save her brother, so she'd be happy, disregarding of who she'd hurt in the process.

So no, Sofia didn't regret trying to tell Sirius. But what she did regret, was to not sit and try to understand Theresa's situation. Sofia had the bad tendency of letting her emotions guide her actions, not thinking clearly, blinded by the way she felt. You could call her impulsive and stubborn, which probably wasn't the greatest mix. Specially when she was living that kind of odd situation.

Should she try to talk to her friend? Yes, probably. She knew she'd soon have too. But her pride was stronger everytime she was seeing her friend. It was only this way, Sofia couldn't understand why it was so hard to speak with Theresa.

Thinking about all the dramas, her coffee brown eyes met themselves in her reflection. Sofia looked different. A vibrant red lipstick was orning her lips, and thick mascara was covering her eyelashes. She also had a thin line of eyeliner, on her upper eyelid. Her hair was also more sophisticated than it used to.

Sofia hadn't change all those aspects of her appearance because of Sirius. No, it was more to experiment. When you're seventeen, you don't always know who you are, or where you're going. Where was the harm in changing her appearance a little bit?

Putting her hairbrush back on the desk of her dormitory, Sofia glanced around. She finally took her bag, and left the empty bedroom.

The Gryffindor Common Room was buzzing with life, students chatting animatedly, the fire warming the room, the red furnitures vibrant, full of life. Sofia always loved her Common Room. It was vivid, unlike the other Common Rooms. The Ravenclaw's was navy blue, and covered in books. Sofia loved to read, but the atmosphere in the Common Room wouldn't be her favourite.

Then there was the Hufflepuff Common Room, black and yellow. The yellow was reminding the sun, and it was the warmest Common Room right after the Gryffindor's, but Sofia thought it was too small for the amount of people in the House, so she felt a little claustrophobic in the room. Last but not least, the Slytherin Common Room. Sofia liked nothing about it.

It was in the basement of the castle, under the black Lake. Cold, without any light, weird decorations in the room, like skulls or any artifacts about dark magic. But the worst part was the password. "Pureblood". Even though Sofia wasn't a muggleborn, her dad being a wizard, she couldn't help but feel hurt by the term. Like only the wizards whose blood are supposedly pure is worthy of entering it.

Scanning the room with her brown eyes, Sofia searched for her boyfriend. Usually, he was in the loudest corner of the room, with the other Marauders, fooling around. The two of them were really different, it wasn't a secret for neither of them. But Sofia loved that fact. Being with Sirius was like being with the other Amazons. A wilder side of her was appearing, telling things she wouldn't say to anyone else before quickly regretting it. Sirius wasn't judging her, and neither were the other Marauders. Sofia couldn't understand why Lily hated them with all her soul.
