Thread: The Whomping Willow (Kiandra_Black & Greeneyed23)

Brandon settled back in his compartment and gently pushed his racing broom a Nimbus Model 13 back into place against wall. He was keeper on the Gryffindor team and was not sure who would be capstan. He suspected James Potter would get it though he was always in trouble along with Sirius. Brandon considered. He and James were the only sixth years on the team and though Brandon was a rather skilled flyer and even had played Seeker when James had been ill in their second year, but he preferred Keeper. He wondered about his friends Remus Lupin, James Potter, and Sirius Black, never having understood a lot of things about them though he had, unknown to them learned their secret of being Animagi, but he did not grasp their attachment to Peter Pettigrew. the other three were a little mean and egotistical but Peter...Pettigrew was a sniveling bullying, coward. Brandon had no idea how he had been sorted into Gryffindor. While he considered, Lily Evans came into his compartment and flopped down. 'Brandon. she said curtly her arms folded. He arched an eyebrow. Lily. They were friends, Lily even having come to visit his house over the summer holiday. Lily stewed for several minutes before she snarled. James Potter is a stupid git! Brandon smirked. write you another letter? She nodded and handed him the letter. it was genuinely disgusting with lots of corny lines and several comparisons of hr beauty to his Quidditch skills. Im sorry Lily... She barely heard as she began to hotly abuse Potter and Black. Slowly Brandon began to laugh and soon he was roaring. Though annoyed Lily slowly began to laugh and soon had relaxed as well. She stood. thanks Bran. He nodded and she was off to hr original compartment. Brandon leaned back smirking and occasionally chuckling.

Brandon slept most of the way remaining to Hogsmeade station and unlike most he hefted his trunk onto his shoulder, showing his abnormal strength as he carried his things out onto the platform releasing Merlin who hooted nipped his hand affectionately then took off into the night. He found a carriage with the four Marauders and traded jokes with the four of them while he examined each. James and Sirius were as cocky and handsome as ever respectively, though James was finally growing into his body and Sirius was quite proud of his perfect marks. Pettigrew had scrapped through his O.W.L.s and as usual was rather hushed amongst his friends. Brandon studied Remus who though as ruffled and lean as usual prior to the full moon. Once at the school all five marched into the Great Hall to their seats though they sat a little further along the table. Brandon sat with his back to Cleo but he saw the unspoken conversation between her and Lupin and though he was curious he did not ask choosing to leave Lupin's private affairs just that. Once the first years had been sorted Albus Dumbledore stood. before our most excellent feast I have a few start of term notices for you all. The Dark Forest is out of bounds for all students. The Astronomy Tower will not be open this year due to severe spell damage just before the holidays... His blue eyes flicked to the marauders and Brandon who had set off a massive display of fireworks and though the resulting show had been glorious it had badly damaged the tower and because they had been magical fireworks the damage was taking some good while to repair. The astronomy classes shall instead be held atop Gryffindor and Ravenclaw towers. Let the feast begin. He sat as the food appeared on the plates. Minerva McGonagall, head of Gryffindor eyed the five troublemakers but let them have their feast though she would have to speak with all of them soon and Remus, James, and Brandon especially as Remus was her male prefect and she had to decide on who would be her Quidditch captain, the two sixth years the eldest on the team with Brandon a shade older than James having already turned sixteen during the Christmas break last term. With the feast finished Remus and Brandon went off toward the Gryffindor Tower together Shooing the first years along in their wake explaining as they went.

Brandon and his fellow sixth years were all very tired and were asleep mere minutes after arriving at their dormitory. When they had woken, washed, and dressed they went down tot he Great hall together. Just as they entered McGonagall came out and snapped. Krissin, Potter, Black, Lupin and Pettigrew. To my office. now. They looked at each other and gulped but followed. McGonagall sat behind her desk and glared at the five of them. Gentlemen. Professor? I have not given proof of your deeds in the Astronomy Tower to Professor Dumbledore but I assure you I have it. But as I found it during the holidays I cannot punish you. but if anything else like this happens while you are in this school i shall personally expel you. Do you understand? Four of the five young men feared but two people. Minerva McGonagall and of course Albus Dumbledore. All but Pettigrew knew of Voldemort and tough they did not boast of besting him they did not fear him. Professor McGonagall glared at all of them then gestured at Black and Pettigrew. Peter you will continue your core subjects. . She waved her wand handing him his timetable and he left the room. Black you shall be taking your cor e subjects and the subjects you passed in your O.W.L.s Sirius nodded took his timetable and went off after Pettigrew. Now you three... Remus, Brandon, and James gulped again as she glared at them. First of all Brandon you are the new Quidditch Captain. Mr. potter you will try to exert more self control this year else I shall be forced to remove from the team. Despite how important you are to the team. James nodded as she studied him. Go on potter. your timetable. He went off to join Sirius in classes. Now you two are going to have to watch over your friends. Both in school and on the pitch. All five of you were very nearly expelled. Now take your timetables and try not to destroy the school? A loud crash was heard outside and both started to speak. Oh I know that was not them. Peeeves had been planning some great joke last night but professor Dumbeldore wanted his help with..somdthing. Go along. They took their timetables and went along to their first class msising breakfast but... So who is that lovely young lady with the amethyst eyes Remus? Brandon smirked as he studied his friend awaiting the answer.

Brandon saw of it but said nothing allowing himself to lose focus as Professor Godiva dithered on. He began to sketch as he sat there. He was quite good and soon he had captured Cleo, Remus, Severus, and the rest of the room. Remus watches then gently touches it and and making sure Professor Godiva did not see,and with Brandon's permission flew it gently to land before Cleo. The sketch was remarkable. It showed how both Severus and Cleo had grown and changed over the summer, while it captured Remus' little smirk perfectly. It did not show the other Marauders at all, nor did it show Brandon who almost never put himself into any picture. Brandon leaned across Remus and cast a small spell and the sketch began to move. Severus was taking notes, Cleo sitting and smiling, and Remus waving at the viewer. Brandon sat back and began another sketch while Remus leaned in to see it. What is this one? You'll see. It's not mean is it? Moony you know I don't draw mean things..well except about Padfoot and Prongs. Remus snickered as Brandon did often draw rather harsh things about the duo. Nothing ever truly insulting but some rather rough caricatures. Brandon showed him the next sketch. This one was of the Astronomy tower exploding into the fireworks display. There you are. As it exploded and the display went off again and again Brandon traced a strange line over the drawing and it become a color picture than just a coal drawing. Both young men looked up as Professor began talking about the theoretical study portion of the class but as she said nothing new they soon resumed their study of the exploding tower. Sirius and James had noticed now and all four watched as it exploded again and again. Then James said. It was more blue... The resulting hushed argument between James and Sirius drew them another bark from Professor Godiva.

Cleo looked down at the picture, and smirked. As the picture started moving, her mask of indifference cracked a little bit, showing her true face. No one had ever seen her like that... Except for one. She looked over at Remus, who's attention was on something on his friend's desk and smiled softly. She heard Professor Godiva bark at the two troublemakers of the class again, and had to hide a grin. Who would ever suspect her of doing something, when those two boys were in the room? This year was going to go very well. She smirked and Severus looked over and asked in a whisper, What are you plotting? She simply smirked, shaking her head at his question, refusing to answer. She looked over at Remus who looked up at her at the same time, and tilted his head in question. She giggled at his wolf-like gesture, and again shook her head. Class finally ended and Cleo stood to head out the door. She passed Severus and the two passed the Marauders with no problems. She nodded to Remus and then looked at the other boy in the eyes, as his name finally was remembered. Thank you, Brandon. She said it quietly, no malice evident in her voice. However, there was a long ago pain within her eyes as she said it. Severus led her away, and the two parted for their next class. Cleo entered Ancient Runes and sat in a desk in the middle. She HATED this class with a passion. However, her father expected her to pass with flying colors. Fat chance. At least the only Marauder in this class was Remus. The two could spend some time together without their friends bothering them about it. She stared out the window, her head resting in the palm of her hand, elbow on the desk. She could see the Thestrals paddock from where she was and she sighed. Although Brandon's drawing was amazing, it brought back sad memories. She took an old folded parchment out of her book bag and opened it to the drawing within. A little girl lay giggling on the grass, an older boy tickling her. The two children were smiling and laughing. A single tear fell before she placed her mask over her face. Remus walked up the and sat on one side of her. The desks were in groups of three, and she had sat herself in the middle of a row. He looked over at her but said nothing. His wolf mourned for her, as she laid her head on his shoulder. Although not a werewolf, she had a connection with Remus. It was only helped alongside by her secret which Remus shared. She sighed and he asked, Will you be all right? Yes. The drawing took me by surprise. It will be fine. The two spoke a little about their summers as they waited for class to begin.

Brandon nodded. You were most welcome. He started to ask her what was wrong but he caught Remus' quick shake of the head and said nothing gathering his things carefully and heading off to his next class. He had settled on Arithmancy which while very complicated and required a lot of work he was happy to be here as he had proven rather adept at codes and the magic of numbers. As he was the only Gryffindor in the subject in N.E.W.T. year he sat with some Ravenclaw friends from last year. At the end of that class he went off to lunch alone his head still a little jumbled with numbers and needing a break. he was so focused that he bumped right into Rubeus Hagrid and promptly fell right on his rump. Hagrid!! Oh sorry about that Brandon. Hagrid bent down and lifted the young man to his feet brushing his shoulders gently but still so forcefully that Brandon nearly went to his knees under the massive man's hands. How was your summer Hagrid? Hagrid grinned. pretty good Brandon I found a new pair of Hippogriffs. Their guna do wonders for my breeding stock. Brandon nodded walking along listening to Hagrid until they reached the staff table and Hagrid sat down while Brandon went back to his table to sit and eat.

Peter had only scrapped an acceptable in potions so was not in the class but because of her anger James and Sirius had not approached Remus and Brandon who had been waling close to Cleo. Remus noticed her stiff walk and fell back as did Brandon who though not a friend was concerned. He and Remus rather enjoyed their pranks but they did not like using magic on other students and thoroughly disliked when magic was used to harm. Brandon and Snape knew each other in passing so while Remus checked on Cleo Brandon checked on Snape. Are you alright? he forestalled Snape's snarl by holding out some Dittany and a few other wound treatments. they will help. i use them for when the bludgers get me. They should help. Brandon looked sincere and the items smelled and looked correct so Snape had no reason to distrust Brandon. Remus, knowing too well the signs of Peter's new stinging hex that left a burning string of welts on the skin took out his wand and waved it along her back. It did not relieve all the pain or damage buts he would at least be able to make it through potions..hopefully. When Slughorn ushered them in Brandon and Remus cornered Sirius and James who started to defend themselves by explaining that Peter had hexed her but Brandon had snarled cutting them. Did you two idiots not hear a word McGonagall said? Leave Snape alone!! but he- Brandon was the tallest and easily the strongest of the group and gripped their collars his eyes furious. Damnit I said leave him alone. That Cleo girl is not to be trifled with and she's Snape's best friend. Now stop. got me? They looked rebellious but then Remus added quietly. And if you don't then i am going to give you both detention for a month and then Brandon and i will talk to McGonagall about you being banned from quidditch. James and Sirius look furious and Sirius begins to snarl. What do you care if Snape- But Slughorn interrupted with. Come come boys. to your cauldrons. Before James and Sirius could get angry Remus nailed them. Remember that little incident by the lake? The teachers are still stewing about hat. So is Evans James. You have to stop or you'll be expelled. you are acting like Voldemort. The both of you. that silenced them both and though it was clear they still hated Snape, especially James, they promised to leave him alone. Then they explained what happened with Peter. Remus snarled. Im going to kill Wormtail...

Cleo simply nodded as a cold wave of relief passed over her back. She smiled at Remus in thanks before Severus asked her what had happened. She simply answered, I found a cowardly RAT. She said the word rat with disgust, as Remus looked up at her sharply. He had no idea that she knew who the others were when they ran together. Then again, she only ran with them a couple times last year. The four sat close in Potions, but Cleo looked at Professor Slughorn, trying to pay attention. Try as she might, she couldn't get away from the pain, and knew that, although Remus' spell had helped a bit, she was going to suffer tonight. Potions ended rather dully, nothing had exploded or gone wrong. By this time, Cleo's back was burning, and felt wet and sticky. However, she was a stubborn chit, and completely ignored Severus when he said that they should go to the Hospital Wing. She had simply given him a look, and he had immediately backed down. One did not mess with Cleo, especially not when she was in pain. The other Slytherins also gave her a wide berth, knowing that if Severus, who was her best friend, was staying away from her, they would do so gladly. Who knew the types of torture she would inflict on someone who bothered her while she was in this mood? Cleo again seperated from Severus, sending a pointed look towards James and Sirius, as she headed down to the entrance of the school. She had Care of Magical Creatures, which she truly enjoyed. True it might have been an easier class than most, but she loved learning about the different creatures roaming their lands. The old Victorian manor they lived in backed up to a large magical forest. She walked stiffly, and when she arrived at the Thestrals' paddock, saw them turn to look at her. She visited them often, bringing fresh kills for them to feed. They approached her and nudged her hand, searching for a treat. She laughed, the sound low, like a stream, and said to them, I have nothing for you right now. However, I promise to bring you guys fresh meat this weekend. They seemed satisfied with that answer and dispersed and she headed to class. She recognized a few from her house, and from the other houses. It was a pretty small group. She leaned back against the low stone wall, hissing lightly as her back protested. She would go to see Madam Pomfrey after class.

Sirius, james, Lupin, and Brandon were all in this class but Sirius and James were called away before they even started down to speak with professor Dumbeledore about one of their out of school adventures, while Remus was having to track Pettigrew down because after hexing Cleo he had gone out and attacked a group of first years. Remus was furious and peter was, like all cowards, running and hiding though his rat for gave him the advantage. Thus it was that brandon was the only male Gryffindor present the other sixth years having avoiding Care of Magical creatures because they did not want to lose fingers. Seeing Cleo still in pain and unlike most not afraid even of her skill with magic, Brandon went over to Cleo as the class began. Here... he also gave her some essence of Dittany. I have loads of the stuff. Maybe one of the other girls could help you apply it? He looks at her unafraid and sincerely concerned. His attention is pulled away by Hagrid bringing a large side of fresh beef to the Threstral pen. Like Cleo Brandon could see them, having seen his grandparents die when he was very young. Hagrid came over after patting his beloved creatures and spoke quietly as Professor Kettleburn went over the plans for the year, you alright there young Miss? Hagrid, truly a big teddy bear, did not care about houses though he admittedly had a soft spot for Gryffinndor, and would help any student however possible. Brandon explained about the hex and Hagrid blinked. Why that lil tosser..Ya could use me cabin if ya want Miss. .. I could call one of the other girls over if ye like. Both waited for her answer very concerned as Brandon hissed. Or perhaps tot he Hospital Wing. im sorry but your robes are a bit..sticky. The hex's welt, if not properly treated, would swell then burst pus and blood wherever depending on the the location and that is likely what has happened. Brandon looks quite angry and Hagrid grumbles. i'll be havin a lil chat with Peteer Pettigrew I will. cowardly... he continued on darkly but neither student could distinguish what he was saying.

Cleo looked up at Brandon answering, I'll head to the Hospital Wing. Madam Pomfrey will set me up. She stood slowly, but gritted her teeth at the pain. She hated people seeing her like this. It alsays felt as if she was weak. She nodded to Hagrid before saying goodbye and walking up to the castle. At the Hospital Wing, Madam Pomfrey hid her behind some curtains, and asked her to take her robes and shirt off. The robes came off with no problem, but she had to painfully peel away her shirt. Madam Pomfrey fretted over her and began cleaning the wound. She scolded her, saying, What possessed you to stay in class young lady? We'll be lucky if it doesn't scar. I've never seen a stinging hex do this. Cleo stayed quiet while it was cleaned and bandaged, then waited to be told she could leave. As she sat there, Severus came in, looking for her. He looked her over and then asked, Are you all right now? Yes. Madam Pomfrey cleaned my back and bandaged it. She said it should be fine by tomorrow night, but that I need to make sure I don't put any pressure on it. Severus nodded at that then said, You coming to the Great Hall for dinner? Cleo nodded as Madam Pomfrey came out of her office and shooed the two students away. They walked into the Great Hall, ten minutes late, but hardly made a spectacle. Remus looked up, but could see she was doing much better. She sat down, facing the Gryfindor table, her back to the wall in a defendable position as Regulsus asked, Where you been? Hospital Wing. I'm fine though. No need to worry about me. Good. The conversation ended and she started eating. She was starving. After dinner, she headed to the library, alone. Remus sat in their usual spot in the back. She joined him, yawning. He looked over at her with worry in his eyes, Are you sure you're okay? We can do this tomorrow if you feel tired. No. If I don't start on Ancient Runes homework now, I'll get behind and I don't want that. Remus sighed at her stubbornness. She simply smirked.

Petttigrew was off being handled by Professor McGonagall who was simply fuming. Brandon had told Remus about Cleo so he did not get worried. Now Brandon was at Quidditch trials wanting his team to be simply perfect. He had selected his new Chaser and beater so he did not need anyone else but he was having trouble getting James to stop flirting with Lily Evans who had come down to see the trials and to speak to Brandon after practice. Finally he just shouted. POTTER GET FLYING OR I'LL HAVE EVANS JINX YOU!! Sh James blinked and noticed that Evans had indeed been pointing her wand at him for quite some while and the practice began. The chasers were excellent and the beaters were goign to be fine, and James was in fine form. Brandon sat in front of his goals sending tennis balls all over the pitch for James to catch and he did not miss a one. Finally he got a sort of automated system going and Brandon started his Keeping practice. He was quite proud of himself as they landed at nightfall as not one Quaffle had gotten by him, James, had continued catching every balls, and the beaters had learned to work together to control every Bludger, and the Chasers were already a well oiled machine. Brandon gave his team a well don fell into step with Lily who wanted to talk about the day while James went off to sulk about being snubbed by the fiery redhead. Brandon and Lily chatted animatedly all the way up to the common room where they found a table together and helped each other with homework. So... Lily said near ten o'clock when the room was deathly quiet and only they and a few seventh years remained. So what? Brandon looked up running a hand through his hair making it cascade down his back. Next Hogsmeade weekend...wanna go with me? Brandon blinked but smiled. Sure Lily. She blushed and resumed her work and when they finished a bit later she smiled at him. goodnight Brandon. and touched his arm as she went to her room. Brandon sat back in his chair and grinned. Lilly Evans wants to go to Hogsmeade with me!!...Ohhh James is guna be furious. He shrugged gathered his things ad went off to bed noting that peter was still not back from his massive numbers of detentions, while James and Sirius were actually asleep. he knew because he checked as they liked to try to fool people even on that subject.
