Well Fuck You Then Rat Boy (Marauders Era Fanfiction)
The rest of the train ride passed pretty uneventfully, just the marauders and I sitting in the compartment, with them throwing insults and the occasional spit wad at me.
Which was totally gross, but kinda low level for them. I guess they're just warming up or something.
I was right to ignore them though, after they realised that I wasn't about to start crying or answering back or whatever gratification they craved, they started talking amongst themselves.
Which would be completely fine by me if Black hadn't kept my book.
I could see it resting on the seat next to him, waving its metaphorical little hand at me, daring, enticing me to juuuust reach across to the seat opposite and grab it....
I may have enough guts to answer them back sometimes but i wasn't stupid enough to think i could get away with that.
Besides, who wants to turn up to their fist day of school with a black eye? Not eye.
I chuckle at my own pun because I'm cool.
A loud barking laugh broke through my thoughts.
I glanced around the compartment, slightly scared that they had read my mind. Did they know of my daring book-retrieval plan??
But they were just laughing amongst themselves, probably planning some prank or talking about how many poor innocent girls Black has corrupted this week.
I heaved a tiny sigh of relief and looked back out the window, just catching a glimpse of the castle up ahead.
............Later, after the sorting...................
The feast -as expected- was awful. I sat in my customary seat right at the end of the Gryffindor table, far away from the rest of the house.
I knew that if I strayed too far towards them that I would be picking bits of pumpkin pasty out of my hair for weeks and trust me, no one wants that. Took me AGES last time i-
I sighed, didn't these people have lives outside making mine hell?
"What do you want Potter?" I asked without looking up.
"Oh nothing in particular you worthless little slut"
I raised an eyebrow as he and the rest of the marauders sat themselves around me
"Really Potter? that's the best you could come up with?" I snapped, feeling peeved. "And here I thought you were at least original despite your many flaws"
I received four pairs of warning glares, telling me I'd better shut up or I'd be in for it as soon as they got me alone and away from all these witnesses.
Its not like no one knew they bully me, but they couldn't exactly knock me unconscious with the Dumble-Tron 3000 watching could they?
But no. I don't think i will shut up.
I realised with a start that I was tired of all this! Of them! This year is going to be different, I wont let them get away with it this time!
Taking a deep breath i started boldly "You guys just strut around the school expecting everyone to bow down and do your bidding! well guess what?That's not how life bloody well works!"
They all turned to stair at me, wearing identical expressions of both shock and anger.
Taking a quick gulp of air to calm myself I continued before I could chicken out.
"Black, you need a reality check because believe it or not, you are NOT Godric's gift to women! And Potter, please do us all a favour and deflate that bloody big head of yours, its blocking out the sun!"
I was gaining quite an audience and I almost shut up when i saw the marauder's furious faces but I was too into it now to properly care.
"And Lupin" I rounded on the tawny haired book worm, who visibly shrank away from me.
"I know you like to pretend that your the better person and that you don't agree with all the bullying your little friend get up too but when was the last time you actually put a stop to it?"
Lupin suddenly found something enormously interesting about a jug of pumpkin juice.
"And lastly dear brother" I sneered
I head a few gasps, did people seriously not know? They just assumed that we have the last name by coincidence?
But then again the stupidity of some of the moron-squad's fangirls -Even my brother has a fanclub! Ew!- isn't all that shocking.
"You need to take that ugly great head of yours out your arse and realise that you are the worst brother ever to walk the earth!" and with that I stormed past the hundreds of staring -and more often than not glaring- faces and out of the great hall feeling like an absolute badass!!
I was halfway back to the Gryffindor common room when the reality of the situation sunk in.
I realised that not only had I just seriously told off the marauders in front of the WHOLE school including all members of staff AND hormonal fangirls, but that i was now in for the beating of a lifetime from some VERY pissed off boys.
What had i been thinking?!
That they'd leave me alone if I embarrassed them in front of everyone?
Reeeeaal smart move there Freya.
With these newfound fears flying around my mind I lent against the nearest wall and slid down until I was sat with my head in my hands
"...Oh sweet baby merlin what have I done?"
