Hogsmeade

"I am" she said smiling brightly, "I can sing you know" she said laying her head back on his shoulder, "do you want to hear"

Sky wandered into Madame Puddifoot's and sat down at a table. She pulled out her book on the Black family history she had gotten from the Hogwart's library and began to read it. She had started reading it at the school but decided to finish the book here. She ordered a tea chai latte and drank as she read.

"Sing?" He cringed. "Erm no...I mean you might hurt your throat." It sounded lame the way he said it but his poor ears couldn't take the screechiness~

Jess pouted "but I can sing really good" she insisted

"no no no that's okay" He said shaking his head.

"Im tellin you too loosin up my buttons babe but you keep frontin" she began to sing.

::Rachel nodded.::

"Yeah, she turned you into a flower pot a lot didnt she?"

a pot just a pot"

"The air head din't know what else she could turn me into" Lily said taking a swig of butter beer.

::She laughed.::

"So she turned you into something that was like her own head...brilliant one she is."

"yeah Rach. She needs a life despertly. I feel sorry for the lump. No brain and scum for a father."

"Well if you suggest we help her have a life by being all nicey-nice to her...I suggest you get your head checked to see if it's as empty as a pot!"

"Ple-ease? I hate her, and u don't even know who her dad is do u rachel?"

::Rachel nodded.::

"Yeah, she goes around talking about it enough for me to get the idea...she's not precisely discreet about it now is she?"

"No not really." Lily finished her butter beer.

"Oh well. Just dont pay any attention to her and maybe shell leave you alone" Oddie suggested and took a swig of butterbeer

"Somehow I highly doubt that." she said with a sigh.

"you never know. you just got to look on the bright sid of things" she said

"Bright side of things?" :the red head raised her eyebrows ironically as she glanced around at the chaos surrounding them.::

"Well, on the bright side, I didn't get too smushed by any of the debri"

"See theres always a bright side" Oddie joked

Lily laughed at Oddie's little joke....or was it a joke

"What should we do now" Oddie asked "Its a bit boring just sitting here and drinking butterbeers" she added

"Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Oddie come on I wanna talk to u."

"Ok?" Oddie asked

'C'mon." Lily turned to the others. "Bye."


She lead Oddie out to the street.

"Can u keep a secret??"

::Rachel waved good bye to Lily and sighed. She probably should go somewhere, be useful, do homework, save the planet...but she didn't particularly feel like it. So she just got up and walked out of the Three Broomsticks and decided to wander Hogsmeade with no intent or purpose.::

"Yea i can keep a secret.Whats on your mind" Oddie said

Jaden wandered into Puddifoot's, looking a bit disgusted as he entered the place. It was crowded, it was full of young teens, and it was creepy. But he had seen Sky sitting in there from outside as he came down from the Shrieking Shack and decided to join her. "Interesting family." He commented, craning his neck to look at the book.

Sky was getting really involved in her book when she heard a voice she recognized. Her heart raced as Jaden entered the tea shop and spoke to her. She closed her book and looked up at him and smiled. "Well, I am trying to find out all I can on the Black's where I just found out I am related to them. They are pretty interesting you know. Well, all except for that Sirius Black. I wonder what made him so different from the rest of the others in the family?" She picked up her teacup and took a sip.

"Sirius Black?" He huffed, sitting back on one of the spindly chairs. "Aiden's just like him. Dirty blood traitor. Something not right about the both of them. Both ended up in Gryffindor, both eneded up working for the other side, and both will end up dead soon." He smirked, looking dakr as he slid the book over to him, flipping through the pages.

"I've only told three other people this oddie. U have to promise to keep this a sexret ok?"

"I was a death eater oncce. I'm not anymore though... after my parents died i went crazy blaming the ministry and hen i joined the stupid snake' side. Then, i got some new friends....Dani, sky, u and rach, i felt soooo guilty i switched to spy for the order. Then, i got into a fight with jessica and well my stupid spyness went awaay....I just had to tell u thid oddie. I don't blame u if u hate me..."

Sky looked at Jaden as he took the book. "I just don't understand it. Your brother and Sirius being so, well different. It doesn't make sense to me at all." She sighed and took another sip of tea. "I was raised with a family who I though was my own. They were Ravenclaws. So I was brought up that school and learning were top priority's, which was a good thing I must admit because I excelled in all of my classes. But I always new I was different from them. I was sorted into Slytherin which wasn't a big surprise to me, being a parcelmouth and all. Now I know that the reason I was sorted there was because of my parentage. I embrace the though of Regulas Black as my Father. I want to continue his allegiance to the Dark Lord. Sirius and Aiden knew who there family was all along, yet they decided to go against them. It sickens me." She sighed again and readjusted herself in her chair. "Do you know much about the Black family?" She asked Jaden.

"They're too noble to belong with our kind." He said still with a mild trace of disgust as he flipped through the book. "When Aiden was sorted into Gryffindor, just a year before I came, our parents went through the roof. Know what he did then?" He looked rather enraged by this next thought, his cheeks growing red. "He did exactly what that Black did." He swept a hand through his hair, taking a deep breath. "Took off he did." He continued, green eyes skimming over a page on Sirius himself. "Lived with one of his mates, just like Black. And dared flaunt himself at the house whenever he pleased." He took a moment to order some tea and then turned back to her. "Then he just had to join the Order." I sneered, snapping the bok shut. "He's like some sick cross between that blood traitor and his good-for-nothing half-blood friend, that Lupin." He took a sip of the tea that was handed to him and restrained himself from slamming it on the table with some difficulty. "The Blacks?" He leaned back on the spindly chair, looking across the table at her. "I know loads." He gave a stretch and settled back again. "Took a good look at some things before I left their hideout, you know. Why, what is it you want to know?"

Sky nodded as Jaden released his anger about his brother. "Stupid thing for him to do. He should have continued his families legacy, but to join the Order and be against them? That is just sickening." Sky made an awful face and shook her head in disbelief at the nerve of Aiden.

"Sirius and he sound like the same person." She sighed. "A pity it is to because he and Aiden have the roots to be able to be great for our cause, the right one."

She continued to listen to him talk and was excited to hear he knew quite a few things about the Black family. She leaned in close to him across the table. "I want to know everything you do about them. This book is one thing but first hand knowledge would be great." She smiled and waited for him to speak to her.

"Ummmmmmmmm," Oddie said rubbing the back of her neck "I have something to say too" and with that she rolled up her selve and showed her the dark mark. Tears began to appear on her face. "So was i, well not really because my mum made me get it though."

Lily hugged her. "Don't cry oddie."

"I know im over reacting" Oddie said looking down at the ground

Urr so not overreacting oddie! I just hate to see peole cry..."

"Ill be fine" Oddie said trying to stop crying "Wh-what do you want to do now" she said

Lily looked at oddie and hugged her. She let go. "C'mon lets just hmm... what should we do???"

"I dont know" oddie said wipping some tears out of her eyes.

"Been to honeydukes yet?"

"A few times we can go if you want to"

"Good i need sugar!" Lily said grabbing oddie and pulling her along

"Ok, WHoa" Oddie said as she was pulled along

Lily laughed crazily as she pulled oddie into the shop.

"Chocolate!" Lily walked off quickly

"Ok" Oddie said following her

"hmm what kind of chocolate??? Sorry i love candy..."

"Im not too found of it" Oddie said "But ill buy some" she added

"Sugar and caffine is my best friend" Lily laughed...."Let me buy it for u!"

"No i can get it" Oddie said
