The O.W.Ls were kicking the Marauder's arse.
Edith had all of them constantly studying. Sirius hated studying. James complained he was missing Regulus. Peter kept taking snack breaks. And it didn't help that the Full Moon was in two days.
Remus felt especially horrible. He knew this would be a bad one. He was sore all over. The brightness outside gave him a constant headache. And the June heat didn't help his heat flashes.
Edith did her best to help care for Remus while helping him study. She would study anytime in between.
Today was finally the time she had to study alone. Her emotions were on the fritz. She hadn't gone to her clearing in the woods in weeks. Which meant she had way too much pent up aggression.
She was copying down notes when James walked into the library. He saw her alone at a table so he walked over and took a seat. She hadn't even noticed he joined her at the table.
After a few minutes, James couldn't stand the silence. Even though he literally walked into a library.
"So end of year prank. I was thinking–" James couldn't even get through his sentence before Edith practically yelled, "Ugh!"
In her sudden frustration of her breaking concentration the paper beneath her hand caught on fire and incinerated in seconds. Any candles around her also flamed up immensely. Luckily, there were no other students around to see it.
"What the fuck do you want James?! I'm fucking busy!" Edith yelled as her eyes became a fiery crimson.
James looked at her wide-eyed. "Edie.. Eyes.." He mumbled, pointing at her face.
"Fucking–" She groaned and slapped a hand over her eyes as she tried to calm herself down.
"You.. You alright Eids?" James asked, leaning forward on the table. "You've been really angry lately.."
"No, I'm not alright! I get one fucking hour alone to study. OWLs are coming and I missed a month of school because I was kidnapped by a bunch of bloody werewolves!" She shouted, eventually getting yelled at by the librarian to leave. She quickly collected her books without speaking.
When James went to grab her arm before she could storm past it burnt his hand. He quickly clutched it back to himself. "Go to Dumbledore Eids. Before you burn something down." He said, now in a strict tone.
She paused, looking down at his burnt hand. "Fine." Was all she said before she stormed off.
~~
She did indeed go to Dumbledore's office.
He was sitting at his desk, quietly working on paperwork when she stormed in.
"I burnt my damn notes Albus! I'm going bonkers!" She shouted as she entered, throwing her bag to the ground. "What's with Phoenix's and being so Merlin-Damned angry all the time!" As she walked to his desk, any candle's flame she passed by would flare up.
