Natalia
"I am so done with life!" I grumble flopping face down onto one of the couches in the Gryffindor common room. I hear the marauders laughing behind me, I bring my hand up and flip them off making them laugh more.
"Poor Nat, what's wrong?" Sirius teases, I roll over and flop off the couch,
"Lilllyyyyy is dragging me to the library to studyyy for OWLLLLSS!" I whine and sit up leaning my head on the couch while sitting on the floor,
"Aw Lia it's not that bad," Remus says softly sitting down beside me and wrapping his arm around my shoulders.
"It'sss borrinngggg" I whine pouting up at Remus before giving puppy eyes to James, "Can you go for me tomorrow instead?" I ask and watch James' face light up with a bright smile,
"Wait seriously?!" James all but squeals looking at me excited,
"What have you done Artemis?" Peter groans along with Sirius and Remus knowing James won't stop talking about it when he gets back. Their annoyed groans made me laugh,
"Enjoy suffering I'm ditching you!" I say and duck out from under Remus' arm and pretty much sprint away from them laughing.
"GET YOUR ARSE BACK HERE!" Sirius and Peter yell after me as I'm running up to the girls' dorm room,
"MY CUTE ARSE IS GOING TO BED!"
...
Time skip start of June 1976
"Remmy go back to bed," I tell Remus as he barely pokes his food, dark circles under his eyes, I can't believe I used to like full moons, I think
"I'm fine Lia really," Remus reassures me but he's not, I scoff and the rest of the marauders sit down around us, I pay them no mind at the moment.
"Remus. John. Lupin. Go. To. Bed." I demand glaring at him and he visibly shrinks under my gaze. In the corner of my eyes, I see the other marauders doing the same even though I'm not even looking at them,
"I'm fine Lia," He mumbles looking at the table,
"I don't understand why you get sick every month," I grumble looking at my hands folded in my lap when I see all four boys' gazes snap towards me worriedly, I know I just want you to admit it, I think,
"It's just umm...bad luck" Peter answers for Remus, I look up at the boys as they try to hide their worried looks. I internally roll my eyes shocked nobody else figured it out while they were at school in my old timeline.
"Yeah, bad luck," I mumble before standing up and giving Remus a quick hug before going and sitting down with the girls with a small frown on my face. I'm stuck in my thoughts and planning on how to get Remus to tell me he's a werewolf when I feel a hard kick to my shin,
"OW YOU MOTHER FUCKER!" I scream and bring my leg up only to bang it on the underside of the table, "FUCK AGAIN!?" I yell and fall backward off my chair, "You know what I'm just going to stay here" I say to no one in particular staring at the ceiling, when I see Lily's red hair and green eyes looking down at me concerned.
"Are you ok Talia?" Lily asks her hair falling around her face as she looks down at me,
"Yeah, who and why was I kicked in the shin?" I ask not planning on moving,
"Marls did you were in your own world looking worried," Lily explains and I roll my eyes,
"I was fine just in deep thinking," I shrug and hold my arm up waiting for Lily to pull me up. She suppresses a laugh as she reaches out to my hand and pulls me back on the chair. Marlene is absolutely laughing her head off while leaning on Mary who is trying not to laugh as well. "Yeah yeah, you're sooooo funny," I say sarcastically making Mary break and start laughing with Marlene. Alice and Lily are looking at me with amused smiles, I stick my tongue out at them causing them to start laughing as well. I hesitantly walked to DADA with the girls once they told me we were doing patronus'. Walking into the room I let out a breath when I saw Umbitch isn't here yet, I looked in the class and saw all of the marauders sitting together on a bench. Remus looks very pale and tired and I frown worriedly, I sit in between Marlene and Mary, and Alice and Lily sit in the seat in front of us. I bug Marlene until she gets out parchment, ink, and quill so she can take notes. The second Umbitch walks into the classroom her eyes narrow in on me instantly,
"Gryffindor, you finally decided we were a worthy class to show up to?" Umbitch says in her high and mighty voice I have not missed one bit. All of the Slytherins laugh but Murciber, Snape, Avery, and the Carrow twins laugh the loudest, I take a sharp intake and scratch the back of my hand that has a very faint scar from 5th year in my other timeline, I ignore her and the other Slytherins. She looks at me with hatred before she starts the lesson, "Today we are doing Patronus' this magic is for those worthy, so all Mudbloods and half-bloods get out of my class now," She demands and my anger flares to an all-time high, I see Remus, Lily and other Gryffindors stand up. I glare at Snape annoyed he's lying for a second before turning my eyes to Umbitch and I just know my eyes are red,
"Get out then Umbitch," I spit glaring at her dangerously and she turns to me shocked before she covers it with a look of disgust,
"Excuse me?!" Umbitch squeaks and I stand up and put my hand on Lily's shoulder and gently push her into the seat,
"You heard me Half-blood, all of the people you are trying to send out are more pure than your fucking tainted blood," I say deadly calm as the classroom is so silent you can only hear Umbitch's angry heavy breathing,
"How dare you accus-"
"Oh I dare Umbitch so stand up the front and teach us ALL," I laugh humorlessly glaring at her, she glares back at me before breaking away from imitation making me smirk evilly as I sit down along with everyone else who just stood up. I fold my arms over my chest and place my feet up on the table, Umbitch glances her eyes over me furiously but starts teaching. I sit there and almost nod off when I hear Umbitch's squeaky voice,
"Miss Gryffindor, are you paying attention?" I slowly blink my eyes open and look at her lazily not fazed,
"No," Shrugging I close my eyes again but she keeps talking,
"Come on then stand up the front and tell the class about patronus'" She says and when I open my eyes Umbitch is looking at me smugly, I don't move and raise an amused eyebrow at her. "Or do you not think you can?" She adds smugly making my eyes snap to hers and my eyes flare at the challenge. I stand up trying to remember you can't hit a professor, I walk to the front of the class and wave my wand thinking about writing what I'm saying. I give Umbitch a tight force smile, I turn so my back is facing the class,
"A Patronus charm's main use is to repel dementors, if strong enough it can also repel all dark magic. Protego and the Fidelius charm are based on it for thes-"
"That is incorrect Mis-" Umbitch starts but I raise my voice and talk over her,
"For these reasons. the Patronus charm is created by using ones happiest memory and saying the spell 'Expecto patronum'" I explain my back still facing the class and when I say the spell my lioness patronus springs from my wand, my eyes widen and I quickly make her disappear as the class looks at me shocked.
"Did you just accidentally do a patronus charm?" Lily asks staring at me wide-eyed, I look at my wand and then shrug before pointing it back at the board,
"It is impossible for someone to do if they are using dark magic," I say my eyes holding Umbitch's and I glance over at the Slytherin table looking at the Carrows, Avery, Murciber, and Snape.
"And how do you know that?" Umbitch says like she herself is unsure of it,
"Tell me if people in Azkaban could cast a patronus would there be any point?" I say in a bored tone,
"They don't have wand-"
"People in Azkaban are dark powerful witches and wizards and you think they can't do wandless magic?" I scoff rolling my eyes as whispers and snickers go around the class,
"Do you think you could cast a Patronus without happy memories?" She snaps back glaring at me as the students' attention flickers from Umbitch to me,
"You don't need happy memories to cast a Patronus charm," I say rolling my eyes with a cunning smile,
"Are you stupid Gryffindor you just said you needed one before!" Avery laughs and all the Slytherins join in and to their shock, I start laughing too,
"Oh how you underestimate me, Avery," I laugh placing my wand on the desk, "This patronus was originally made by Godric and Salazar to find your soulmate, this patronus isn't my own but my supposed soulmate's," I explain and hold one hand lazily in front of me glad I practiced this a lot after I figured it out, "Expecto patronum" I say strongly and at first silver lights flow from my fingers before a wolf jumps from my hand and runs around the room. So many whispers go around and I notice the marauders acting like lunatics hitting each other but mainly Remus, I look at them with confusion before I drop my hand and the wolf fades. "That Avery is a Patronus charm without happy memories," I say smugly looking at him smirking,
"If it's not happy memories then what memories?" He asks annoyed and glaring at me,
"Why would I tell you when you, Murciber, and the Carrows are most likely to end up in Azkaban?" I deadplain with a sly smug almost evil look on my face. I walk to my desk grab my bag and walk out of the classroom and I can't remember the last time I felt this proud.
