Love Is Full of Black

Chapter I

6th Year at Hogwarts

Tiryn: I love Harry Potter (and more importantly, Sirius Black ^^) so I decided to make a fanfic. Don't like then don't read!

Disclaimer: I do not own anything that you recognize from Harry Potter! If you say that I stole something, you can burn in Hell.

Read and enjoy ^^

I love James as a brother. I do! It's just that whenever I am near him, he always talks about his group of friends called the 'Marauders'. He said they pulled all kinds off pranks and what not. The thing is, it's annoying to listen to it. I wanted to be a part of it.

"I want to be a part of the Marauders!" I once yelled at James when I had enough of him telling me about the Marauders. He didn't look at me like I was crazy, instead, it was the exact opposite.

"Knew it!" He yelled. Luckily we were in my bedroom without my adoptive parents there. James came back for Christmas break from Hogwarts, so we had a little time before they came home. You see, James is a wizard with a huge heart and a small brain. Me? I'm a muggle-born witch that has to learn... dreadful things at a school which I have taken great care in not remembering the name. I really wanted to be at Hogwarts. James said it was like a beautiful castle and learning the most wonderful things at the same time!

I have tried to get my adoptive parents to let me go, but lately they have been unresponsive to my pleas. They are probably planning to make me feel worthless again after James leaves for Hogwarts.

"What do you mean?" I asked with extreme caution.

"What I mean is that when I ask Mrs. Calder, she will have to say yes to my request to go to Hogwarts!" He said with one of his signature cheesy grins. I hugged him around the waist with my eyes full of my bloody tears.

Yes, I cry blood. My adoptive parents see it as an omen, so they beat me every chance that they can get. Meaning whenever James wasn't here. He knew about it, it's just that I always convinced him to not get involved. He always looked worried, but acted like he never what happens to me whenever he wasn't there. And besides...

I am a werewolf of sorts. "Do you know how much I love you right now?" I cried.

He still has his cheesy grin on his face when he says "You love me enough to give me a little smooch, love?" He made some fake kissy noises he gestured toward me. I hit him upside the head and screamed into his ear "NO WAY, YOU PERVERT!" He fell down laughing which I shortly did afterwards. When I heard a faint click from the living room, I immediately stopped laughing, grabbed James an extra shirt, got my stuff from magic school out, straightened my desk, and made it look like James was helping me with my homework.

"So your saying it's all in the flick of the wrist when you do a spell?" I asked 'stupidly'. James saw the light in my eyes and understood.

"Yes, you are correct. The flick of the wrist lets the wand know that the user is getting ready to use a spell. That way, the wand will not do anything unexpected at the user or object you are pointing at." James said very business like. Before he could continue, there was a rough knocking on the door before it was yanked open by my 'father', Mr. Calder. He hated me with a fiery passion and he would whip me with a cat-o-nine-tails whip on the back. I could still feel the pain from the night before James came over.

"Caddia, you are going to cook dinner tonight before we go to bed for Christmas." He unemotionally said before he left to go get a few smokes in. I hated him too, I just wanted to love him like a real father, he just makes it almost impossible to do.

"Yes sir." I whispered. Before I left the room I mentally said to James 'Your stuff is under my bed. You are to have my bed and I sleep in the closet again. Please ask them before we open our presents.' I gave him the major the puppy eyes. He just sighed and said "Alright, although I prefer that you sleep in the bed instead of me. I will do the best I can about you going to Hogwarts with me. I already got Dumbledore's permission, so all I'll need is your 'parents'," he did the quote thing with his fingers in the air as he said parents. "permission and then you can come with me on my sixth year of Hogwarts."

I smiled one of my common smiles. Then I left in a hurry and started preparing the annual Christmas dinner.

The dinner was ready within three hours. It was a turkey with ice cream, stuffing, salad, and a cream to put within the salad. The dinner was silent except for the Calders' asked how Hogwarts was during his fifth year of school. He replied with the usual 'it was okay' and similar things. I sat there next to James, being ignored and eating the food that I have eaten. I soon stood, gathered all the empty plates, and headed towards the kitchen to wash the dishes.

Once I started on the dishes, I was left alone with only my thoughts as company. I wonder about many things, and one of these things that I wonder about is if I can bring Katrina, my pure white wolf that my 'parents' don't know about, with me to Hogwarts. That is, if I'm allowed to bring her with me. I know that she's old enough to take care of herself, it's just that she is one of the few things that are precious to me. I would never leave her with my 'parents' alone, even if it kills me to bring her with me, I will bring her with me. I am a very determined girl, so when I set my sets on something, I will fulfill it, no matter what.

With that in mind, I continued to quickly do the dishes. I finished about two hours later and returned to my room and found that James took up the floor instead of the bed. I sighed and dragged him onto the bed. I walked to the closet to sleep. I made myself as comfortable as I can and quickly fell asleep.

Tiryn: Good enough. Please review!
