Chapter one

Slytherin Surprises of the `Sirius' Kind

Current time

 

A Manicured hand ran its way through short blond hair. Amalia smiled, sitting down next to her boyfriend, Lucius Malfoy. He placed a hand on her thigh in acknowledgement but continued to talk to Xavier Zabini. Sighing she nibbled on toast.

Amalia Marie Sylis, or Mali or Malia as most called her, is an interesting case. Her and her sister Alex are twins in two different houses. Alexandra Michelle Sylis is in Gryffindor. No one knows why they were separated but they were.

Amalia, now in her fifth year at Hogwart's, pondered this in her head every day. She was doing so as she sat down before she was pulled out of her thoughts by an older sixth year Slytherin names Olivia Davis.

“Helloooo? Amaliaaa,” Olivia called once again

Lucius and X had stalled their conversation to look at the girl.

Malfoy sneered, “I think hanging out in the blood traitor's common room is getting to your head Amalia.”

Zabini chuckled, “what is going on in that pretty little Slytherin head of yours, Princess?” Xavier, a Tanned Italian handsome boy in his sixth year, always called her princess since she started dating Lucius, who is the Slytherin Prince.

Lucius Malfoy is a sixth year to Amalia's fifth year. He is a proud pureblood who detests anyone below such status. His white blond hair slightly shades his silver eyes. Since he's a seeker for the Slytherin team he is very well built, the epitome of a sex god.

Amalia smiled smally “nothing. What are you two scheming about now?”

Lucius smirked evilly, “just talking about tonight.”

Olivia looked to X questionably “what's tonight?”

Lucius answered for him “the night Malia here proves her Loyalty.”

Amalia laughed “but you already know I'm loyal to Slytherin, Lu”

“Good then there won't be a Problem. Be there by nine. I need to make sure you are dressed correctly.”

Amalia laughed, “got it in the common room naked at ten. Check.”

Lucius let an almost smile cross his face, “make that eight. I like to do a close inspection.” He smirked.

Xavier chuckled and Olivia smiled at the couple. However, Bella Black glared at the two from next to Livi. Lucius noticed this, as did Mali. “Is there a problem Black?” Amalia questioned sucking one Lucius' ear, her fingers playing with his hair.

Bella looked at them sneering, “no not at all”

Amalia smiled kissing Lucius slowly tongue clearly visible. Amalia wasn't a whore but she wasn't innocent like her sister either.

She looked over at the Gryffindor table, to where her sister and her secret friends were sitting.

Olivia noticed her gaze and coughed gaining Mali's attention back to the table and conversation at hand.

Zabini chuckled and looked to Malfoy, “have you given her your present yet?”

Amalia looked at Lucius, “present?” He smirked and placed a black velvet case on the table in front of her. Slowly she opened it and there stood an emerald encrusted necklace of a skull with a snake in its mouth. Amalia gasped as lucius lifted it out of the cased and clasped it around her neck. The silver was cold against her skin. Olivia looked at her, eyes worried, while Xavier and Malfoy looked at their princess with pride.

 

Remus Lupin looked at the group from the Gryffindor table. Nudging Amalia's twin, Alex, he pointed nonchalantly to Amalia, which of course gained the other marauders attention as well.

Sirius, who noticed automatically, shouted, “what the hell?” Silent James Potter, Sirius' best guy friend, slapped his hand over his mouth. Alex looked at him gratefully before turning to Remus wearing a worried expression, “what do you think this means?”

He looked at Amalia then to her twin; “I think it means you need to go get your sister.”

Alex nodded, stood, and headed to the Slytherin table. Olivia looked up at the approaching Gryffindor nodding before returning to her breakfast. Zabini looked up also, “may we help you Sylis?”

Alex nodded “Mali, would you come eat the rest of your breakfast with me?”

Lucius leered at Alex as Malia nodded and looked to Lucius, “can I?

“In a moment.”

Alex nodded and smiled at her sister before walking back the direct path to her table.

Amalia looked at him confusedly, “What is it, Lu?”

Lucius looked at her, “you better not tell them anything Amalia.”

Amalia smirked laughing, “what are you talking about? Of course I won't!” She kissed him softly, standing. He grabbed her wrist with more force then necessary “I'm serious Amalia.” She smirked slyly pulling away “I'm sure.” She retraced her sister's steps to the rival table.

Sitting down Amalia smiled at her sister and her best friend since third year. Sirius knew everything about Amalia and vise versa, “Sirius.”

Said boy jumped at her verbally, “What are you doing?! Do you know what that is?!”

Amalia looked at him “yes I do thankfully most people don't yet. Now Sirius Black don't you ever dare yell at me!”

The Marauder stood up, “you are becoming one of them!” He wasn't shouting but his voice was hard and sharp. Everyone at the table around them watched cautiously.

Amalia looked at him standing, her green eyes sharp and angry, and her voice deathly low. “I will never EVER be one of them Black. I may be a Slytherin but I will never be a death eater” The Slytherin twin turned on her heels and walked away after nodding to the other marauders and Brooke and Lexi.

James laughed “nice going Padfoot.” Brooke and Lex both slapped him. Sirius sighed, sitting down but as he watch Lucius stand to go after her he decided he probably should, too. Quickly finishing his breakfast, which took him all of three minutes, he marched out of the hall to apologize to his best friend.

Lucius watched as his girlfriend stormed out of the hall and casually stood and walked after her. Once outside the great hall he pinned her to a wall “what was that Amalia?” She gasped as her back collided with the rough stone, “Nothing the stupid mutt saw my necklace and threw a fit about it.”

Lucius looked at her glaring “You better hope so. Amalia If I find out you opened your mouth about tonight, So help me god you life in Slytherin will be a living hell.”

She smirked up at him; “baby you know I'm not stupid. Like I'd say anything about the stupid meeting. Plus I was the Slytherin Princess before you. I'll be the princess after you.”

He slapped her across the face; “ you think that now but you say anything to those blood traitors about the meeting tonight…” He trailed off.

Amalia's head turned ever so slightly, use to his hits. She glared at him “Don't you trust your princess?” Shaking off the hit she smirked again kissing his jaw slowly to get back into his good graces.

Lucius was not abusive but he did hit when Amalia disrespected him. She didn't often argue with him, too afraid to lose him not only because she greatly cared for him but also because she knew he'd make good with his threats.

Lucius relaxed at her sign of affection, "that's more like it..."

Sirius, who had just walked out of the hall was glued to the spot in shock, narrowed his eyes at the sight of the couple. Sirius recovered and stormed over, ripping them away from each other and glaring at Lucius before shifting his gaze to the girl.

Amalia smiled against Lucius' neck before it vanished. Looking at what had pulled him away from her she saw who it was, "Sirius Black what are you doing?!"

"Never, eh?" he sneered, "that didn't take long... snake,"

Amalia eyes widened "I don't know what you are talking about" she looked panicked but her voice was calm. It had to be in front of the Slytherin prince.

"If I ever see you near my friends again spreading your lies I swear to you... I will make sure you regret it," he spat

Amalia let the mask fade her voice quivering "Sirius… please."

His gaze softened momentarily, showing his pain, but it was instantly back up and he merely glared at the pair before stomping off out the large doors to the grounds...

Lucius narrowed his eyes at the girl, " and just what was that all about? Why was my girlfriend just begging the blood-traitor?"

Amalia quickly put her mask on "stupid twit you know how my sisters little group is all great and friendly with the professors. I don't need any of the teachers thinking something is going on with the Slytherin." she lied through her teeth praying  he'd believe it

He seemed to consider this a moment... "if I find out anything... anything at all to the contrary... you've been warned,"

Mali smiled pulling him back to her "I know baby I know. What happened to the faith you were having towards me?"

Lucius merely smirked, "we'll see... consider this a time of trial... if you pass you'll be my Slytherin princess and join me in our... cause... if not..."

She looked at him as she backed up a little stupidly causing herself to be trapped between a wall and a Slytherin "what happens if not?"

His smirk widened into a leer, "lets just say... you'll wish you had tried a little harder..."

Amalia smirked at him "would you hurt me baby? And not in the good way I might add"

He said nothing to her question, just smirked and said casually, "I'm going back to my lunch. Join me if you like, but be back at the common room by nine..."

Amalia smirked, "why don't we go back there... now?" True she felt bloody horrible about Sirius but what was she supposed to do? She'd die if she didn't work with them...

He grinned, "so needy, my love? No I shall see you then... but remember my warning," he said darkly before grabbing her and kissing her forcefully then turning on his heel and stalking away.

Amalia looked at him biting her bottom lip..."I need my sister to deal with him...now... where is Sirius when I need him?" she whispered darkly but a disappointed tone laced her voice

Amalia sighed, walking to the front doors and pushing her way past them. 'Now if I were Sirius where would I be?"... The thought came to her instantly "messing with the squid" she muttered rolling her eyes "stupid boy." turning she head to the figure on the side of the lake

Sirius' keen hearing, thank to being a dog, allowed him to discern the sound of the doors opening and approaching footsteps, which he ignored.... He heard them stop shortly behind him, but waited to be addressed, not feeling very social

Amalia walked up behind him playing with his shaggy hair "why did you do that Sirius? Do you hate me that much that you trying to get me killed? You've known me for years and  ever since Lucius took interest in me you've hated me.... You acted like I killed your do- oh bad example...sorry"

He scoffed and jerked his head out of her grasp, but did not look at her, "yeah...nice choice of words there... notice I did you a favor and didn't let slip your little detail as you asked... and that's because before Lucius took interest in you, you were different... I don't know... free, happy? We used to wonder why you were put in Slytherin…” he laughed a little.

He suddenly whirled around and glared up at her, "and don't you Ever EVER think that I would wish for your death... got that?"

Amalia looked at him "Sirius you know how lucius is. You know how he acts...if I don't act the way he wanted me to...it ends bad for me trust me I learn the hard way... I didn't know when I agreed to become his 'Slytherin princess' I basically signed my ...life so to speak to him... he is the devil I swear," she smiled a bit and touched his shoulder. Kneeling next too him but still behind him she spoke, " Sirius...I have to act the way I do... you have to understand that"

He gazed out over the lake, "of course I know what their like... understand how they work... they're my family for Merlin's sake, but clearly I escaped that... if he's so terrible, then why are you still with him? Why not leave? Join us? We could help you... protect you...” He looked around at her, “I could..." he shook his head and turned back around

Amalia looked at him. Then moved around to face him. She sat on her knees so she was taller then him. " Lucius isn't always bad... I just have to be rough back. I've given him so many bruises you'd be proud... Sirius...you have been one of my best friends since what? Third year...when you actually gave me a chance," she ran her fingers through his hair again pushing it back a little smiling, " you know better then I do... I can't be re-sorted. I wish I could...I wish I could let the marauders protect me...let you protect me. But you can't be in the common room when I am... or at all... I won't always be safe."

He sighed, looking at the ground beside her rather than at her, "I know I can't always be with you... and that you can't be re-sorted... I just...” he looked up into her eyes, grazing her cheek with his fingertips, “I hate seeing you this way... it kills me. I can't trust you, and... I want to SO badly, but I never know where your loyalty lies... its like you're two people and I can't ... I never know which one is you. I want you to be the Mali I know and love. I want to be able to hold you, to keep you safe... always... but" he sighed, dropping his hand and looking away

Amalia looked at him dropping to sit on her butt. "Sirius...I don't know what to tell you" she stood up completely looking at the lake " but I can tell you this. Tonight... something is going to happen...a test for me. To see if my... loyalty is true... and I'm going to tell you this...I may wear the mark of a Malfoy," she played with the bracelet Lucius had given her after they started dating, "and I may wear the mark of the death eaters. But I will never ever ever be one. Ever... Sirius I have to be at the common room at 9 to meet 'my lover'. If you want to protect me like you say...I'll let you." she sighed and turned on her heals to walk back to the castle, "he'll kill me if he heard what I just said."

He looked up at her sharply, eyebrows furrowed in anger and concern, "... how do I know that this isn't some sort of trap you and your little "prince' set up? That you don't really want to be a death eater?"

Amalia stopped and spoke over her shoulder. "Because... I love you too. " she smiled and continued her walk back to the castle.

He leapt up and grabbed her wrist, spinning her around to face him. He gazed deeply into her eyes, searching her for the truth. His face relaxed and he asked, "... why do you have to join the death eaters? There are plenty of Slytherins that don't wear the brand,"

Amalia looked at him "I'm not joining them Sirius I just said that..."

He sighed, "why, Mali? Why are you still with that bastard? Why don't you leave him? Be free like you were when I met you?"

"At the beginning of forth year when Lexi and I came back all...grown. You remember how everyone acted?" she looked at him pulling her wrist from him

“Yeah”Sirius nodded

Amalia looked at him "some... people in Slytherin acted worse...and the only reason they didn't go ...far... is because lucius was there and protected me.... He isn't always bad. He is just... rough...in more then one way i might add." she sighed

"So you're with him because you feel like you owe him?" he demanded

Amalia looked at him shaking her head "that's how it started but...not really...I wont say I love him...because I don't but... I don't know Sirius..." she sighed looking at the ground

"But what? You don't love him... so... and how can you defend him anyway? You see what he does to people, you see what he is... you know better than most! Why stay?! Why put yourself in that situation? You know you'll only get hurt," he sighed dejectedly, "and I can't stand to see you that way" he raised his hand and gently stroked her cheek

Amalia looked at him sharply "you dot get it... I'll get hurt if I leave him...lucius... he isn't always like that. It seems its your group that he is that way with most..." she sighed and pulled him to hug her "you know I was planning on doing the dramatic walk away before this..." she smiled into his shoulder

He chuckled lightly, "yeah I kind of ruined your dramatic exit... but he is terrible. Why can't you see that? He can be nice to you, yeah, but he's... Mali he's a death eater. He's good at deception. And as soon as he finds someone better he'll drop you like a bug,' he pulled back to look at her, "please... Mali... don't let him do that to you. Leave him and I promise I won't let him hurt you ever again... please,"

Amalia looked up at him "I knew there was a reason you are my best friend next to Lex...I told you I'll let you... but i have an idea first. You just have to trust me...okay?" He nodded. Amalia looked at him then up to the castle then around them suddenly noticing it was darker then when she came out "Sirius...what time is it?"

Sirius looked down at his twelve- handed watch, "almost time for dinner,"

Amalia looked up at him "tell the other marauders what's happening. DONT NOT LET MY SISTER OR REMUS OR BROOKE OR JAMES MAKE A HUGE DEALS OF IT IN THE HALL! Do you understand?" her face dawned a sharp expression

He studied her expression and nodded slowly, " and what are you going to do, Mali?"

Amalia looked at him "I'm going to go have dinner with a prince..." she smirked "and be protected be the marauders and ...you know we really need to given lily and Alex and Brooke a name..."

Sirius nodded and laughed, " yeah I suppose we do... you be careful, okay?"

Amalia looked at him "I always am. Sirius tell my sister to wear that ring we have. The one that tells her if I need her and vise versa… If my plan doesn't work.... Well  let's just say. She knows the password to the slytherin common room. Okay?"

He nodded gravely

Amalia smiled wryly. "I'm letting you protect me. Don't look so sad." she hugged him before taking off to the castle her Slytherin robes fluttering

He watched her go worriedly before walking into the castle after her

MEANWHILE In the Library--

Lily sat at a table reading a book on animal transfiguration, with which she was having trouble when she suddenly felt as if she was being watched

She turned around in her seat to see none other than her...'best friend' Severus Snape standing in the aisle behind her. She sighed, " what do you want, sev?"

He walked next to her chair his hand on the back of her seat "what are you reading?" he spoke...softly

She groaned, "a book on animal transfiguration... I can't for the life of me figure it out! I don't know what I'm doing wrong!"

He smirked "well I could help you if you wanted..."

She looked up at him and said teasingly, "oh, the master potioneer is also a master of transfiguration? Aren't we just a jack of all trades?"

A very small blushed dawned his features but none the less he chuckled "of course. I'm good at  a lot of things"

She raised an eyebrow at him skeptically and chuckled lightly, "fascinating as that is... I have a transfiguration test tomorrow and I am so going to fail if I don't get this down,"

Snape smirked, "well I'm sure I could help...more then potter could at least..."

"Yes sev, we all know potter is an arrogant toe rag,' she said irritably, " you don't have to keep reminding me..." she sighed and shook her hair out of her face, " so why aren't you off with your... 'Friends'?"

Snape shifted in his seat, "they're eating, and I wasn't hungry," lily narrowed her eyes; " sure they aren't off somewhere terrorizing another helpless first year?"

"They aren't so bad, Lily... sure they can be a little over the top and obnoxious, but they can be pretty cool too," he explained. She raised her eyebrow at him, " you know, some people say the same thing about potter and his gang," "DON'T compare me to that... that prat," he demanded

"Well its true sev. Your friends are just plain mean, cruel even! It's awful! I can't believe you would hang out with them, defend them! You see what they do just as plainly as I do!" she argued

"They just take their fun a bit too far sometimes... its not like they're killing anyone," he replied

Lily shot him a dark look, " from what I hear they're joining Voldemort,"

Snape waved it off, " rumors... and don't say the dark lord's name,"

"Why not? And why would you call him the dark lord? Sev seeing you with them... it really hurts. It feels like I'm losing my best friend. You don't know how hard I've fought to explain to friends our friendship, defend you after you hang some poor kid up by their ankle and curse them,"

"Well its not like potter is any better!"

"Why must you always bring potter into things?"

"Because! Lily, he's in love with you..."

She burst out into hysterical laughter, ' he's just being an annoying berk, sev and besides why does it matter? I don't like him. I know what a prick he is,"

They sat there in silence, glaring at each other... all of the sudden none other than the subject of their strife walked up... the infamous James potter

Who had heard the last few minutes of their argument

James face had a dark look on it "I'm sorry am I interrupting something?

Sev glared fiercely at him, " actually yes, you were, potter," he spat his name

James' face darkened EVEN MORE, his eyes slitted with anger "shut it you stupid bint i wasn't talking to you." his eyes turned towards lily. Along with the anger pain mixed in.

Sev gripped his wand inside his robes... lily glared at them both, "what do you want, potter?"

He continued to glare "i was coming to see if you were actually ok. You seemed... like something was wrong at lunch...but apparently this prick is not wanted here" he grounded out. "I'll just go"

"Finally..." snape muttered

James gripped his wand pointing it at snaps head "what did you say snivellus?" venom laced his voice 

Snape stood, drawing his wand, " you heard me, potter. You aren't wanted here," Lily stood up between the tow, pushing them apart with a hand on their chests, "Stop it! Can we please just grow up, here? We're in a library for Merlin's sake!"

James looked at her then him "shall we take it outside then snivellus?"

"NO!" lily cried, but snape just pushed past her and followed potter out, lily tailing behind, pleading with them

James turned sharpie in the hall not waiting to get outside, " CONFRINGO"

"Protego!" snape shouted almost instantly

"NO!" lily cried

James growled 'god I'm hanging out with Sirius to much ' he thought before shouting "Petrificus Totalus"

"Priori Incantanto!" Lily shouted, releasing snape, then, " Depulso!" sending them flying into opposite walls, " Stop this RIGHT Now! You're acting like Children! Don't make me give you both Detention!"

James stood up quickly "WOULDNT BE THE FIRST TIME! WHY ARE YOU PROTECTING HIM?"

"I DON"T HAVE TO EXPLAIN MYSELF TO YOU, POTTER! I"M SICK OF YOUR CHILDISH PRANKS AND ATTACKING ANYONE JUST FOR FUN! GROW UP!"

His face became ice. He was scarily calm. His voice deathly harsh but soft, "you think this is fun for me?... you know nothing Evans. give me detention. go to your Slytherin wannabe lover. get yourself killed.. i dot care" he turned sharply and strode away.

Lily went to stalk after him, but found her wrist caught by the other boy. she spun around to glare at him, "why did you do that? why couldn't you just let it go?!"

"Lily, I-," he stuttered but was cut off, "No, i don't want to hear it. Just... leave me alone, Sev," she said ripping her hand out of his grasp and stalking off, leaving him standing speechless in her wake.

MEANWHILE IN THE GRYFFINDOR COMMON ROOM WITH EVERYONE ELSE

Remus sighed as he turned the page of the heavy book. his head resting on the side of lexi's leg and his feet on Brooke's lap " you know....I'm shocked to say this but...i hate herbology..."

Brooke chuckled, "I'd be worried if you didn't"

Alex gasped dramatically, "Remus Lupin? hate a subject? is the world coming to an end?"

He tossed the book onto the table "not quit i think Sirius and James are rubbing off on me." Brooke sighed, "shame. i was excited that there was a smart marauder"

Alex laughed, " yeah who'll be the brain of the pranks now?"

Brooke laughed "that would still be Sirius of course. I've never seen a more devious boy"

Alex giggled and nodded, but stopped suddenly, looking at Remus concernedly. he was looking pale and tired, "Remus? are you feeling alright?"

Remus looked up at her "hmm? oh yes fine... just a bit tired i suppose." he falsely yawned to prove his point, he grinned cheesily

Alex smiled back, but still watched him suspiciously, " alright...if you say so,"

He nodded "are you worried about little ole me?

Alex scowled and said sarcastically, "oh yes, poor ickle Remus...,"

he smiled charmingly "oh yes poor me i feel faint"

Brooke cracked up "wow that sarcasm rivaled Sirius lexicon"

Alex took a small, mocking bow, "thank you, thank you.... ill be here all year!"

Remus looked at her "you and your sister i swear. she said the same thing last week"

Alex grinned, " well, we are twins...,"

Brooke looked at them "only she is apparently evil." she spoke bluntly

Remus glared at her "was that called for?"

Alex snapped her head round to glare at Brooke, "don't talk about things you know nothing about,"

Brooke shrugged it off "it was sarcastic Alex. you know Slytherin equal evil. aha?"

Alex slowly looked away, still scowling

at the fire

Remus sighed again "you two make my head hurt" he teased

Alex hit him playfully upside the head, "feel any better?"

He grumbled rubbing his head "yeah loads" he glared at her

she giggled a little and returned to her book

He sighted and started to play with the edge of her sleeve. Brooke busted out laughed "what are you a bloody cat Remus?"

"meow?" he shrugged continuing to play

Alex looked down and raised a questioning eyebrow at Remus

"hmm? what is that look for?" Remus smiled sheepishly

Alex just smiled and shook her head, "nothing...,' she went back to her book

Remus' stomach grumbled and he mumbled "nomnomnom" softly

Alex looked at him sharply, " excuse me?"

He looked at her his pale face flushing a bit "guess I'm just hungry" Brooke laughed "you just ate like three hours ago Remus"

Alex looked at her watch, "we ate five hours ago. it is almost time for dinner... do wanna head down now?" she asked looking at Remus

Remus nodded against her leg. Brooke pushed his feet off her "food sounds good"

Alex laughed and stood up, causing Remus' head to slide off, and closed her book, " okay then, let's go.... come on Remus! stop lying there like a bump on a log,"

Remus sighed "and here i was laying across two girls. i was beating Sirius for a minute there." he chuckled and stood up stretching

Alex laughed and strode out of the common room without waiting for him.

He laughed and followed Brooke linking arms with him. he smiled "I'm not skipping dot think about it" she frowned "oh darn"

They arrived at the great hall and took their seats just in time to see Amalia sweep in over to the Slytherin table shortly followed by Sirius walking in and joining them.

Amalia smirked, "hi baby" she kissed lucius' ear biting slightly

Remus looked at the boy sitting down "you alright padfoot?"

Right after he asked James sat down in a huff glaring at the table.

Brooke looked at him "umm what did the table do to you?" James looked up at her glaring and she hid behind Alex.

Sirius leaned over and whispered, " we have a problem..."
