Ellie the Marauder | Sirius Black

|12| WORTHLESS COWARD

There my sweet Sirius was, limp in the arms of James and Remus. Other than the fact that he was out cold and his hair being a little messier than usual, he looked perfectly fine. I deduced that Benny must have hit him with a stunning spell of some sort.

"w-what.. ?" I asked. I was still having a hard time finding words.

Remus seemed to understand what I was trying to ask. "Sirius ran after your brother and his friends." He started. "He ran past us when we were walking to Honeydukes so James could stalk Lily..." He said sending a look to James like it was a bad thing or something... THEY ARE MEANT FOR EACH OTHER! ... But that's a conversation for another day... "Anyway, we caught up with him and asked what happened and he said something about a girl in the woods.. honestly, I thought he was talking about you at first, but then I remembered seeing Susan walk off with that git Rosier..." (Remus was not a fan of his; Rosier was very outspoken about his hatred for werewolves) "...and realized something must have happened and that you probably stayed with her. We ran after your brother. When we caught up to him, Sirius shoved him into a wall and asked 'what the hell was wrong with him' and 'how he could let them attack some innocent girl'... Then Benny  said something about how he thought Sirius would enjoy the show? Not sure what that meant... but then Benny brought you into it... called you some really disgusting things I don't want to repeat... but and that's when Sirius just completely lost his shit. He tackled Benny and punched him a few times when he refused to take back what he said about you... but eventually let him go before he did too much damage since he was your brother and all... But then..." he trailed off.

"But then that cowardly excuse for a brother you have sent three powerful stunning spells straight at Sirius's back when it was turned." James finished angrily. "That's when we tried to call out for you...we couldn't leave him here."

I was in shock. How could Benny do such a thing?  "We need to get him back up to the castle to see Poppy." I said as the other two nodded. We had to kind of carry/drag him by his arms... well James and Remus carried/dragged him, I was really there for moral support. Turns out Mr. Stupid Handsome is also Stupid Heavy. We really need to figure out how to conjure a stretcher or something... maybe Minnie would help us...meh.. no... Poppy would probably be better help... lots more practice. Honestly, it would probably make life easier for her with the amount of times we come limping in....

I was snapped out of thoughts on who I should ask to teach me how to conjure a stretcher by the sight of my prat of a brother a little ways up the path. I instantly started glaring at him and walking faster in his direction.

"Ellie..." warned James.

"We'll get him back Ellie, but we have to get Sirius back to the school first." Remus tried to reason. Unfortunately, there was no reasoning with me at this point.

"NO." I said loudly storming off. My eyes were narrowed into slits, my breath heavy with anger as I quickly made my way toward that vile toad.

"YOU DEPLORABLE PIECE OF SCUM!" I screeched furiously as I came closer. My wand was now pointed dangerously at his face. It looked like Sirius already gave him a black eye, and possibly a broken nose. Nice work Paddy. Despite his battered face, he seemed rather pleased with himself.

His gang of shifty Slytherins backed up. I could tell that they were a little afraid of the screaming wild haired blonde in front of them. Rightfully so. Usually, people aren't all that phased when I'm upset, so this should be a good indication of how royally pissed I was. First Susan. Then Sirius. He was not getting away with this.

"What's got your wand in a knot Elizabeth?" Benny sneered with a callous laugh.

"YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT, YOU WORTHLESS COWARD!" I screamed so loud my voice broke.
