James and Silver both looked at Victoria, examining her, and Silver said; 'names have power.' She ran a hand through her hair. 'I don't know about you, but I'd rather say it when I'm able to fight off my weaker enemies.' James nodded in agreement. 'I guess it's just because everyone else says it.'
'It's alright, Mate.' Sirius replied, clapping him on the back. 'We're here for you, you know that; how long do you think it's gonna be? We need to plan to sneak out.' James slid into the conversation. 'Yeah- they'll be on guard with us this year, remember last time when you gored me?' He grinned. 'They'll be keeping an eye out, so we need to be smarter about it.' 'We can manage.' Silver said, sliding a hand through her hair again, coiling a strand around her finger.
((Sorry it took so long!! Also: what do you think of 'Wolfsbane' being Silver's nickname? Maybe?))

OMG I LOVE THAT!!!}
Victoria raised an eyebrow at the Marauders' odd behavior but decided not to speak up, instead busying herself with looking around the dining hall.
"Thanks mate," Remus smiled genuinely. "All of you. It means a lot."
{{sorry it's so short, I have a horrible headache}}

Silver then realised Victoria didn't know, and coughed slightly. 'Remus has an appointment he needs us to be present for.' She politely told her, glancing at the boy and grinning sheepishly; she'd forgotten the girl was there, and they'd been careless. Although, it wasn't obvious from their conversation what they were talking about, so Victoria wouldn't be able to guess. 'Wolfsbane, what are we going to do about... our current predicament?' Sirius awkwardly asked. 'We're like a reverse Romeo and Juliet.' She sighed, continuing to cool the hair around her finger. 'Maybe this year... is the year.' 'But where will we go?' He worriedly asked, chewing his bottom lip. 'Mate, I don't know how many times I need to tell you you're welcome to stay with me and my mum.' James said, staring at Sirius with brotherly love. 'You'll be safe with me- both of you. Mum always wanted a girl.' 'No- I couldn't possibly stay with any of you.' Silver refused. 'Peters home is too small; James, your mother would have Sirius; and...' she looked at Remus, before casting her gaze downwards. 'I couldn't- I wouldn't want to be another mouth to feed.' She twiddled her thumbs. 'I'll just- I'll find a hostel or something, get a job. I'm not worth it- Sirius is more important, he has a worse situation.' 'Like hell I do, Sil. I'm not going anywhere without you-' 'Sirius.' She said, staring at him. 'If not me, they'll marry you off to one of your cousins.' Sirius shuddered and looked away. 'You need to leave.' She insisted.
'Wait wait- what? Did I hear that right?' James asked, eyes wide. Silver and Sirius exchanged a tense, nervous look, then glanced back at James. 'Our parents have decided to Betrothe us.' Silver blandly replied. 'Since they're close,' Sirius interjected- 'And we're not related,' Silver continued- 'They're hoping to keep the bloodline pure and clean.' Sirius finished. 'But we are so not going there.' Silver snorted. 'I've tried begging but they won't listen.' 'And I've been beat for trying to refuse.' Sirius muttered. 'So our only other option is to leave home.'

"Merlin's beard! What is it, the eighteenth century? I suppose both of you are pure bloods then?" Victoria asked, an incredulous look on her face.
Remus, though sullen on the subject, couldn't help but stifle a laugh at the normally quiet girl's reaction.

'Sirius Black?' Sirius said, giving Victoria a weird look. 'Of course I'm a pureblood. The name not give it away?' 'Mine is less obvious because my family is from America.' Silver said, smiling at her. 'But yes, I'm a pureblood- unfortunately.' 'I'm a pureblood.' James said, shrugging. 'Yeah, but your mum and dad don't beat you.' Sirius said. 'Or lock you in cupboards.' Silver continued. 'Or scream at you.' 'Or threaten you with knives.' Silver finished with a sigh.
James awkwardly shrugged in response, then looked away, before looking back at them all with a solemn expression. 'Why don't we just marry you both off so you don't have to marry each other?' Silver and Sirius stared at him. 'I volunteer to marry Sirius.' James continued, before he burst out laughing, and Silver joined in at just how ridiculous he really was. Shaking his head with a grin, Sirius tucked into his food, at the tense, awkward atmosphere appeared to have finally disappeared.

Feeling embarrassed at their looks, Victoria sunk slightly in her seat and let out a sigh.
"Hang on a second Prongs, I think we all know Padfoot and I would make a finer couple!" Remus exclaimed, causing a few Gryffindors to give the group odd looks.

James gasped and stood up, loudly exclaiming, 'I object!' Silver burst out laughing again. 'Aww james, don't you want me?' She questioned, fluttering her eyelashes at him. James actually hesitated a moment and was caught off guard by her flirting. 'I- Evans is the only girl for me.' He managed to stammer out, sitting himself down and nodding with conviction. Grinning at the fact she'd made him pause, she looked at Victoria. 'I should marry Victoria.' She solemnly said, nodding, before winking at the girl just as flirtily as she had done james. 'I'll do the chores if you make the food.' She offered, grinning.

"Oh I hate to tell you, but I'm afraid I would be a horrible chef, darling, I can only make shepherd's pie and beans on toast, we'd have to go out if you want anything else. Well that or we'll have to invest in some recipe books." Victoria joked, tossing her arm around the girl. "I'm a much better lover." Of course, Victoria was all talk, something she had learned over the years of listening to her fellow students.
Remus' eyes widened at the sudden boldness of Victoria and he laughed before saying, "Yeah Pads, don't expect me to cook for you."

Silver laughed at Victoria's words and lowered her eyelashes. 'Is that so...?' Sirius awkwardly watched the two of them, then looked at Remus. 'Kreacher makes our food.' He said, 'so I wouldn't have the slightest clue of what to do.' 'Jeeves makes ours.' Silver said, referring to her butler.
James shook his head and watched as the houses began to get ready to go. 'Here we go then lads- tune to start the school year.' James grinned, getting to his feet with the house.

Laughing, Victoria scooped up her books and smiled widely. "Anyone headed towards Care of Magical Creaturers?"
"I believe Sirius is headed that way. Silver and I have Potions."
{{I was thinking we split the gang up?}}

((Sure))
Sirius sighed and stretched and grinned as James joined him, the two ever joined at the hip.
Silver moved around to take Remus' arm in a ladylike manner. 'See you in the common room, boys.' She purred, before starting to walk.
'See you, Sil.' Sirius nodded. 'C'mon then.' He led the way, then politely offered his arm to Victoria.

"So have your parents said any more on your marriage to Sirius?" Remus asked softly, sounding uncomfortable. He was only curious as to just how determined her parents were of this arrangement.
Timidly taking his arm, Victoria ducked her head down as the walked and murmured, "I'm sorry I didn't recognize your last name." Frowning, she said in a somewhat louder tone, "My family doesn't associate with other purebloods and I normally tune out whatever your brother says to me, it's mainly a load of rubbish about me being a disgrace to the pure blood line."

'My mother is very determined to have us married by the end of our sixth year at Hogwarts.' She replied, sounding even more uncomfortable than him, upset, and angry.
Sirius shook her head. 'Don't apologise, I'm just quite taken aback you don't know the name. We're one of the most infamous pureblood families out there.' He said, tucking his hands into his pockets.

"You know, you're always welcome with my family. I know we don't have a lot, but we'd still have you." Remus said, gazing softly at Silver as they walked through the halls.
"I don't really know that much, I'm better with books and animals than people." She said, trying to lighten the mood. She felt horrible for making things so awkward.

She bowed her head slightly and quietly ran a hand through her hair. 'I'd feel like I were intruding.' She mumbled, shaking her head. 'I couldn't strain what you already struggle for, Remus, I'd feel too awful about it.'
Sirius grinned. 'Animals, eh?' He chuckled lightly and looked away. 'Well, I'm sure you'll get along with the marauders just fine.' James snickered, the two appearing to be sharing an inside joke.

"Silver, don't you suffer already? We'd make enough for you." Remus said gently, pulling her slightly closer to him.
"Oh don't tell me you pranksters are all metamorphmagi. McGonagall has enough worries with your tricks." She joked, but couldn't help herself from noticing their shared looks. They were hiding something.

She silently let him, and even rested her head slightly on his shoulder, finding comfort in the werewolf's presence. 'I'll see if I can get out of there in the summer.' She softly said. 'I'll ride a broomstick or get Jeeves to drop me off.'
'Metamorphagi?' James scoffed. 'Nah.' 'But we might as well be.' Sirius smirked. 'We all do have the highest scores in transformation, after all.' 'You just have the highest scores.' James added, shaking his head. 'I don't understand how you do it, mate. I've never seen you study.' 'Me? Study? Nah- I'm just a genius.' Sirius winked, before smiling at Victoria. 'So you'll be good at Care of Magical creatures, im betting.'

"I'll come and get you." Remus said in a commanding yet caring tone, as if saying he had the last word.
"Guilty. Hagrid is to blame, my first year here he caught me in the forbidden forest trying to—well he found me with a unicorn. Next thing I knew Newt Scamander was visiting me over the holidays." Pulling her cloak closer to her body, she smiled fondly at the thought and said, "Magical creatures are magnificent beings that at times are kinder than wizards, and often times far wiser. They're more understanding than parents stuck in their ways."

Her eyes widened. 'My mother will kill you- it'll be best to let me do it. Do you have one of those... mobile phone things? That muggles own? If not, I'll send a patronus your way when I'm about to leave. Then you can at least meet me halfway.' She looked anxious, and her grip tightened slightly on his arm.
'Newt Scamander?' Sirius asked, eyebrows raising with surprise. 'Merlin.' He shook his head and looked away. 'That's bloody wicked, that is.' James nodded, his own eyebrows raised.

"Send a patronus," Remus laughed softly in reassurance.
Blushing softly, Victoria nodded and spoke slowly, "He's a funny little man really, he once called himself mummy when he was showing me the proper care of a hatching dragon. He gets rather excited when he talks, too. Doesn't care at all about blood, only about how you treat a Bowtruckle."

Silver smiled shyly and nodded, then glanced up and her gaze turned cold. She straightened as she walked and brushed her hair aside. Narcissa and Bellatrix Black. Bellatrix looked up and grinned. 'If it isn't the blood-traitor and her weirdo hobo friend.' She sneered. 'Is that another scar I see on your face?' 'Don't make me beat you, Bellatrix.' Silver sniped as they walked past, sneering back at her. 'Beat me?' Bellatrix laughed. 'Is that a challenge?' Silver felt an angry shiver run up her spine, knowing Bella was trying to get a rise out of her, but her Gryffindor pride was urging her to accept.
'Do you know much about werewolves?' The two chorused, turning to look at her with great interest.

"It isn't. We were just on our way to class," Remus said calmly, his gaze becoming icy as she stared at Lestrange sisters. "Come along Silver."
"Lycanthropes?" She asked with a smile. "I'm quite fascinated with them, although they don't tend to out themselves. I suppose I just find their situations quite sad, they have to choose between death or monthly transformation which I've read is extremely painful if untreated and is usually preceded and succeeded by a few days of pallor and ill health. And while in their wolfish form, the werewolf loses entirely its human sense of right or wrong." Shaking her head she added, "It's a shame they have to live in fear of prosecution. And all anyone ever did was make a potion to make them self-aware during their phases. You'd think someone would find a cure, or at least a way to better control their transitions and even dull the pain."

You'd think someone would find a cure, or at least a way to better control their transitions and even dull the pain." 'Awh, unfortunate- I was hoping to sharpen my skills on your body.' Bellatrix hissed at them. 'Maybe next time, Black, and it won't be our bodies being sharpened.' Silver spat, allowing Remus to pull her away and keep walking. 'You say the family name with such hatred, but I bet you'll be moaning it by next year!' Bellatrix yelled after them, and silver released an enraged shriek, her wand in her hand within seconds and yanking herself away from Remus. 'Stupefy!' 'Protego!' Narcissa gasped and hurried away to take cover, eyes wide as she looked to Remus to stop the fight. 'Marrying off two blood traitors to create a family of blood traitors!' Bellatrix cackled, as spells flew skilfully between the two. 'Then we can get rid of you both at once!' 'You make it sound almost as if you won't be marrying your Cousin in a few months time, Bellatrix, I wonder if Mr. Lestrange will look after you as well as Sirius would me?' Silver viciously retorted, before leaping out of the way of a Crucio spell. The fight seemed to stop, and she stared up at Bellatrix with wide eyes, the Black-girl also frozen. 'You don't tell a soul.' Bella hissed, looking fearful as she slowly backed away. Silver was silent for a while, then also backed up and grabbed Remus' arm, quickly walking away, her breathing fast and panicked. 'Im sorry, Remus,' she managed to croak out, glancing back as she watched Narcissa ushering Bellatrix away and scolding her. 'I'm sorry- I'm so easily worked up.' ((The potion wasn't made yet xx this is around 1974? Pretty sure it wasn't created till like, 1985 or something, that's why they run around as animagi with him)) 'I heard they don't attack wizards which are animagi.' Sirius casually said, nodding slowly. 'Because they have no interest in animals, only humans, if one were to be transformed around a werewolf...' 'Then one would be completely safe.' James finished, smiling cheerfully. 'They should just have an assigned animagus to every werewolf!' 'Or send them to Africa.' 'Oh, yeah! I heard all students at Uagadou learn to transform.' 'Pretty cool- they don't even have a register.' 'Scot free.' James grinned, the two boys laughing. Sirius then smiled smoothly at Victoria. 'Would you ever want to be an animagus?' He curiously asked.

((Correction! It's made after mid 19-70's, so their current year- it'll be created about 1976, but Remus wouldn't be able to afford the ingredients to make it, bc poverty, I'm pretty sure he only manages to make it at Hogwarts bc dumbledore/snape provides it... this is really interesting x'D))

Pulling her into a hug, Remus cut her off, worriedly asking, "Are you okay? Did they get you?" He was fuming, as angry as he became when he began to transform, but above all he was concerned for the shorter Girl he had protectively pulled into his chest. (Oh shoot, ignore me. ) "Seems like a hassle." She responded before shaking her head. "Well, I mean the whole month with a Mandrake leaf in your mouth is simple, but have you seen the application form? I'd rather risk going to Azbakan." Glancing back at the two boys, she looked up at them and asked curiously, "Why do you ask?"

Remus always had that calming effect. 'She didn't get me.' --- 'It's not simple.' The two boys chorused, before Sirius grinned widely. 'I mean, can you imagine trying to eat with that thing in your mouth? What if you swallowed it by accident?' 'That would definitely be a nuisance,' james confirmed. 'And I'm just curious. I think werewolves are cool, but I feel bad for them.' Sirius continued. 'Discriminated against for something they can't help.' 'It's not their fault.' James finished, frowning angrily.

"We should tell Professor Dumbledore," Remus said after a few beats of silence. "They can't keep doing that, especially not to you."

"Seems like you two know what you're talking about...." Tori mused, an eyebrow raised. "Anything you two would like to tell me?"

'Animaguses are even MORE awesome.' James grinned widely.

Sighing, Remus stuffed his hands in his pockets and followed closely behind Silver.

Nodding suspiciously, Victoria said slowly, "Okaaaaaay, I'll believe you two, but I must tell you that you two are horrible at telling fibs."
