vindemiatrix- the fifth marauder

chapter 3

hogwarts, 2 september 1975

vindemiatrix's pov

crap, crap, crap is all i can think, it's already eight o'clock, and the cannons are set for eight fifteen, the prime time for everyone going to breakfast, but only on the first day. i jump out of bed, pushing sirius off the other side of the bed, 

"hey!" sirius said, sitting up, his head becoming visible from beside the bed. 

"get up, fuckers!" i say, before remus came into the room, clearly just bathing.

"please tell me you all are not just getting up. i left an hour ago, went all the way to the prefects meeting, then took a shower, then got completely ready and came back, and you twats are all still in bed," remus said, acting like an exhausted father of four.

"yes," peter replied groggily, now getting out of bed. james was sitting up in his bed, reaching for his glasses, and sirius was lying back down on the floor, trying to sleep, until remus came over and kicked sirius to keep him from sleeping again. 

"what the hell moony?" he yelled. we all then rushed to get our in our uniforms. i threw on my uniform skirt, a button up that i barely bothered to button it, my tie, and slung my cloak over my shoulder. i put on my golden chanel earrings and gold hoops, my higher gogo boots and grabbed my black sunglasses then put them on.

"do you really need those?" remus asked.

"yes, she does," james answered. 

when we were all ready, by eight ten, running through the hallways to the great hall

"time?" peter asked, causing sirius to look at his watch.

"eight fourteen." he said as we walked to our seat and started talking, not wanting to get food, as it would be covered in paper in under a minute. 

"three.... two.... one..." sirius said before pointing up, and on que, the confetti cannons went off and a whole lot of yelling. the five of us just laughed, also getting the slips of paper on us. when the cannons stopped, we started to eat.

"ms. lestrange, we have rules here," professor mcgonagall said, referring to my outfit. she then handed out our timetables. 

"yes, professor, but i don't know what rules i have broken as i have been here for under fifteen hours," i say, ignoring my undone tie, unbuttoned shirt, boots, multiple earrings, and sunglasses, which she was clearly pointing out as infractions of uniform code. she lightly scoffed before walking to the group of girls next to us, who also scoffed at my outfit. 

once mcgonagall left, i said,

"you got a problem with my outfit little miss perfect?" i asked.

"yeah, i do actually," lily said.

"really?" i questioned before sirius put his arms around my body to restrain me. 

"yeah, actually, i do to, you walk around like you rule the school. and that outfit just makes you look even more like a slut," marlene said.

"what did you just call my best friend?" sirius asked. i now switched positions to restrain him.

"nothing," i said then grabbed my my coffee and stood up, dragging sirius with me. james, remus, and peter saw what was about to go down and stood up, following us to the exit. 

"she was the one who put that idea in your head. why didn't you tell me?" sirius asked as soon as we reached the courtyard. 

"because i know you like her, and i didn't want you to not like her just because of me."
