Spinning (Marauders Era) -ON HOLD-

Chapter Four: Fight Me Bruh

"Kyyyyaaarrraaa!" The shrill voice of my other, other best mate, Cassie, woke me up from a beautiful dream about time travel. "It's time to go to Hoooogggssmmmeeadddeee!"

"This time we've got to dress fancy, it's  the first of the year," she says, after I had sat up and rubbed the sleep out if my eyes.

I yawned, giving her a lazy grin. I loved dressing Elena up, because she and I were both the same size. And she was rich and had fancy, well made clothes from, like, Italy and Japan and stuff. I had more of a goth kind of vibe with my ripped jeans and a lot of black.

I rolled out of bed, ready to turn her into a walking, talking doll.

Awhile later, Elena ended up with a pair of baggy cargo pants, and a bodycon Doctor Who shirt.  She also had a white beanie, making her look like a hot, fashion-forward nerd.

"Perfect!" I said. "You are gonna have to take this umbrella, too." I handed her a garish pink parasol.

"Why?" Cassie said, giving me a confused look.

"Cause every boy we get near is gonna start drooling real quick," I laughed.

She ignored my positivity and opened my closet. "How 'bout we try a.... a good girl gone bad look?" She murmured to herself. Grinning to herself she pulled out a pair of ridiculous leather pants.

"Cassie, have you lost your mind?" I asked. "If I pair that with my leather jacket, I'll look like a fucking cow enthusiast or something."

She threw the pants at me anyway. "Who said you're gonna be wearing that leather jacket?" She asked, throwing me this army-green jacket thing with boob pockets. It looks like it's for a male.

I sniff the collar. Definitely male.

"I couldn't wear this!" I say. "How am I supposed to be cute smelling like diesel oil and Old Spice? And-" I sniff again. "Old books?"

She gave me her best bitchface. "Put the goddamn thing on so we can start picking shoes."

I gave her a pair of booties, and she gives me steel-toed combat boots. "Just in case someone wants to fuck up your virginity," she says, giving me a wicked grin. "Even though you should've totally gotten rid of it by now, with you ugly, beautiful mug for a face. I bet, like, forty boys are out there right now, hoping to pop your - "

I cover her mouth with a hand. "Cassie," I say. "You need to shut your cakehole."

A few minutes later, we were all dolled up and ready to go. I pulled Sev out of the Sev-chair in the common room. "Usual routine?" he asks. "I prentend to be your boyfriend, and you get dirty looks for dating someone like me?" 

I sigh. "Sev, you are a sweetheart, but you need to lighten up, you emo." Except in mind I say left buttock.

"I'm not a buttock," he says. I looked at him like, 'How.' And he replies, "Legilimency," with a cheeky grin.

"I'll head out first, see you in a little bit," he tells me, and walks out.

After I threw Cassie a fistful of random jewelery from my dresser as she gave me strange brass necklace with an amulet on it (that I don't remember buying?), we left. Turning the corner outside of the Ravenclaw common room we saw a familiar sight. Potter and his little friends, and Sev, upside-down, suspended from midair by his ankle.

"Really, Potter?" I asked. "It's getting old. And you idiots too, can't think of anything better to do, huh? "

I broke their spell by causing a bright light to flash, making them lose focus. Sev came down, hitting the floor limply.

James sent a hex my way, followed by Sirius and Peter (but not Remus 'cause he's reading, as per usual), but I already had a strong shield charm already up. But they caught me off guard and sent a spell at Cassie. I jumped in front of her, fairly sure it wasn't avada kedavra or anything. From the elbow down, my fingers became limp and numb, like your mouth after a dentist appointment.

My wand had just dropped from my hands, and theirs' had rose to hit me with a spell when we heard light footsteps. Lucius Malfoy, one of Sev's friends, glides around the corner. He's the Head Boy, too. Glancing at the scene, he says, "Fifteen points from Gryffindor for fighting."

James gives him an indignant look, and says, "Fifteen points from Slytherin . . . 'cause . . . uh, 'cause . . . er . . . five points from Ravenclaw, for calling us names and using spells against us."

"Fifteen points to Ravenclaw for standing up for a friend. and another fifteen, since you undoubtedly did it for Miss Cassandra, too. Correct?"

"Yea," I say.

"Well done, Miss Kyara," he says, and struts off. Potter and his pals kind of scuttle out of the scene.

Sev sits up from where he was previously laying on the cold, hard ground. I pull him up with Cassie helping me. He begins to walk, limping slightly. Cassie and I walk on either side of him, just in case he trips or something.

"You know, that boy, Lucius. He ain't half bad," I say.

HEEEYYY GUYS. I KNOW PROBABLY PISSED ABOUT A FEW OFF THINGS IN THIS PART, LIKE POTTER AND LUCIUS TAKING POINTS AND SCHOOL YEARS AND SUCH, BUT PLEASE TRY TO IGNORE THAT CRAP. iF YOU CAN FIND THE SUPERNATURAL REFERENCES AND THE TAYLOR SWIFT REFERENCE, I'LL GIVE YOU A HUG!
