Another Potter

Part 11

September 28.

~ Lily's POV ~

I had a free period and were at the library with Vicky and Sev doing homework. "Yes! I'm finally finished with my transfiguration essay, that means I'm finished with all my homework" Vicky whisper shouted. "Already?" I asked her surprised and Sev was surprised too, I think he expected her to be more like Potter. "Yup" she smiled proudly before checking the time. "I've got quidditch practice soon and James has somehow been made captain, he'll kill me if I'm late. Do you guys have much left?" she asked us while packing up her stuff. "What positions do you play?" Sev asked Vicky ignoring her question. "Seeker. Do you play?" Vicky said, now she had packed up. "No, I enjoy watching," Sev said. "Enjoying watching Gryffingdor beat Slytherin?" an annoying voice said and a smirking Sirius Black appeared out of nowhere. "What do you want?" Vicky said. "We've got quidditch practice, are you coming?" Black asked Vicky. "Did James hire you as my bodyguard? I hope he is at least paying you well" Vicky said sarcastically before she stood up and said "I'll see you guys later" to me and Sev. Then she walked to Black and they walked away. "So, what do you think about her?" I asked Sev. "She is Potter's twin sister and a Gryffindor. But I guess she's okay. We are partners in potion and she is surprisingly good " Sev said. "And another thing...  You know yesterday students got changed into baby animals?" I started. Sev nodded before saying "what about that? I bet Potter and his friends are behind it". "Well, Potter and he friends didn't to it 'cause I know who really did it," I said. "Who?" Sev asked curiously. "Vicky and I," I said. "Why?" he asked shocked. "She wanted to put her brother in his place and asked me to help her. He's not the king of Hogwarts like he acts" I told him. "How?" he asked, still shocked. "Really simple actually, made a few potions and put it in the food for the students" I explained.

~ Vicky's POV ~

"I'll race ya to the pitch," I said to Sirius before I set off running. After a few seconds, he ran after me. I ran (almost) as fast as I could, not looking back. After a few minutes of running, I slowed down and now I was just walking. I looked over my shoulder to see if Sirius was catching up with me, but I had shaken him off. Suddenly I felt myself falling backwards and down on the cold floor, I had bumped into someone. The person had already stood up and was offering a hand to help me up and I accepted. I looked at the person, he was a Slytherin around my age and he looked a bit familiar. Weird... "I'm sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going" I apologize. "Don't worry, it was my fault too. I'm Regulus, by the way, Regulus Black" Regulus said. Black? Is he related to Sirius?  "I'm Victoria, Victoria Potter," I told him. "The transfer student? James Potter's twin sister? I should have guessed, you do really look alike. And you're the seeker for Gryffindor?" he asked. "Yes, yes and yes" I answered his questions. He nodded before saying "I'm the seeker for Slytherin". "Um... Are you related to Sirius Black?" I asked Regulus out of nowhere. "Yeah, I'm his younger brother. He is the first Black ever to get sorted into Gryffindor. Our cousins and I are Slytherings like our parents and grandparents" he explained and I nodded. "Do you know my brother?" Regulus asked me. "Well, he is a close friend of James and one of the beaters for Gryffindor," I told him. Speaking of Sirius...  "Vicky!" I heard a familiar voice. I rolled my eyes before I looked to my right to see Sirius walking in my direction. "Hello, Sirius," Regulus said with a straight face. "Hello Regulus," Sirius said coldly to his brother before turning back to me "We've got practise soon and you know James will kill us both if we are late". "I guess you're right," I say. "Please, I'm always right," Sirius said, I do my best not to laugh and almost succeeded. "Nope" I mutter. "Haha, you're very funny" Sirius rolled his eyes. "So nice that we for once agree on something," I smile innocently. "But really, we have to go now if we don't want to die. I guess I'll see you around" I said politely to Regulus. "No you won't" I heard Sirius mumble but I just ignored it. Regulus nodded before Sirius and I started walking away. After a few seconds Sirius put his left hand on my left shoulder in a protective way, and look over his left shoulder, it was like we were walking away from something horrible. I looked to my right, where Sirius was walking next to and gave Sirius a confused look but I didn't say anything.

~ Sirius' POV ~

Where is that girl?! I've spent five minutes looking for her but it feels like five hours. Oh wait, there she is!  I saw Vicky talking to someone. "Vicky!" I shouted, hopefully, she won't run away again. I walked over to her not really looking at who she was talking to. "Hello, Sirius" I heard Regulus say. Oh, Merlin...  The person she had been talking to was Regulus. "Hello Regulus," I said to my brother before turning back to Vicky. "We've got practice soon and you know James James will kill us both if we are late," I said making an excuse for me and Vicky to leave. "I guess you're right," she says. "Please, I'm always right," I said. Vicky does her best not to laugh and almost succeeded. "Nope" she mutter. "Haha, you're very funny" I rolled my eyes. "So nice that we for once agree on something," she smiles innocently. "But really, we have to go now if we don't want to die. I guess I'll see you around" Vicky said politely to Regulus. No, you won't. Regulus nodded before Vicky and I started walking away. I felt Regulus' eyes on us. I put my left hand on Vicky's left shoulder and looked over my left shoulder to see Regulus looking in our way. I knew what he was thinking and I didn't like it. Vicky gave me a confused look but didn't say anything. 

"Um... Sirius" Vicky said after a few minutes. "Yes?" I said. She nodded her head at her left shoulder. I hadn't realized I still had my hand on her. I quickly took my hand or her shoulder. I felt my face get a bit hot. Okay, there is seriously something wrong with me. "So, what's between you and your brother if I can ask?" Vicky asked. "How did you know he was my brother?" I asked her surprised. "He said his names were Regulus Black, and your name is Sirius Black. And honestly, you look a bit alike" she said and I nodded. "Well, all of my family except me are Slytherins. After I got sorted into Gryffindor, I became a disappointment to my family. They think Gryffindor is the worst house and Slytherins are the best, that's how all Slytherings think. But I would much rather be and a disappointment to my family and a proud Gryffindor than my family being proud of me and be a slimy Slytherin, and they know it" I explained. "Are... are your parents Death Eaters?" Vicky asked. "No, no, but they believe Voldemort had the right idea, they are all for the purification of the wizarding race, getting rid of Muggle-borns and having pure-bloods in charge. My brother and cousins plan on becoming Death Eaters when they are old enough, something I would never do." I said. "By the way, do you know the time? I don't want to be late for practice," Vicky changed the subject.
