The 4th Year Of Batty Addy (A Marauders Era Fanfiction)

I looked back at my mother. She shot me an encouraging look. I took a deep breath and waved goodbye. I scoped put the area around me. In between gates 9 and 10. My stop was 9 3/4. I nonchalantly walked forward. I silently hoped the other patrons in Kings Cross were to preoccupied to notice. This was my fourth year yet the whole ordeal made my stomach churn with a mix of nervousness and excitment. When I thought the coast was clear, I ran. My trunk, covered in passport stickers, rolled along behing me. Athena, my owl hooted contently as her cage bounced atop my it. She is an odd bird. I passed through the magical barrier. Unseen to the muggle eye. I slowed to a mild paced walk, eying compartments to settle in. I chose a seemingly empty one. Trunk secured and Athena quiet, I sat down contently and began to read. The words jumbled. I angriliy shut it. A dyslexic witch! Who would've thought it possible. I set it down next to me in frustration. Out of the blue the door opened to my unoccupied compartment. It was the Marauders. I inwardly groaned. Those nasty trouble makers! 
"Hello!" The mousy one said. Oh what was his name? Paul? Patrick? Peter! That was it Peter Pettigrew. His hawkish nose was red. He looked like he had a cold. The dark haired boy say down lazily across from me. Sirius Black. I couldn't contain a scoff. He raised an eyebrow at me. 
"I recognize you. Your Batty Addy!" Sirius taunted. My vision went red. 
"I am not batty!" I screeched like a banchee. James Potter looked as though he might have exploded from pent up laughter. I had gained the name Batty Addy last year. At the Sorting Hat ceremony during the Hats song, a bat had gotten into the school and flew in my hair. Thus Batty Addy had been born. 
"Yes you are Batty!" Remus Lupin wise cracked I balled my fists and inhaled a deep breath to prevent myself from decking the jerk. 
"My. Name. Is. Addilyn. Dawn. Not. Batty. Addy." Each word was enunciated slowly, carefully, and injected with enough poison to kill an elephant. 
"Well. Okay. Then. Addilyn." Sirius mocked my tone. I was about to make him sing soprano for a week when the Hogwarts Express lurched to a start. I sat back down, fuming. I leaned back in the seat and closed my eyes. I heard whispering. My eyes fluttered open. It was just in time to see James back away quickly from my trunk. 
"What did you do?" I suspiciously asked. The Marauders played innocent. I almost bent down to investigate but I am not that stupid. 
"I asked you a question. What. Is. In. It. Don't make me hurt you." I menacingly threatened. Peter chuckled and Remus spoke up. 
"Nothings in there. And you aren't very scary." He matter-o-factly said. I gave him a one over. Then the insult hit me. I am too scary. I just don't look it. I have loose golden blonde curls that fall down my shoulder blades. My eyes are a piercing ice blue and framed by dark lashes that are a suprise becuase of the light tint of my hair. High cheek bones, delicate and femine facial features, plump red lips, and a hourglass figure, I come off like a porcelian doll.
"If there is nothing in it you can go ahead and open it. Go on." I urged all four of them. None of them made a move. 
"Thats what I thought. Now, one of you will open it because I am not planning on it." I stubbornly said. The four exchanged looks. Peter sighed in despair and walked up to the chest. He frowned and lifted the lid. A tiny bomb exploded. It dyed his entire face green. I am sad to say I laughed alongside the three of them. Peter was pissed. 
"I told you that was a horrible idea!" Peter coughed up more green dye. I hid my snickers with my hand. 
"So Batty, what house are you in again?" Sirius nonchalantly said. I rolled my eyes. 
"Ravenclaw. If you must know." I replied shortly as I looked out of the window. I tried to ignore the obnoxious occupants of the compartment. They wouldn't let up though. 
"Ravenclaw, huh. You must be smart. We have a smarty in the house boys." Remus shouted. I fought the urge to scream. 
"Aww darn it. I hoped you were in Gryffindor Alas lads." James acted dissapointed. I looked out the window absentmindedly. I tried to get lost in my thoughts to no avail. Those Marauders wouldn't leave me be!
"Batty Addy. Oh Batty Addy!" Sirius crooned. I cringed at that horrid name. 
"Is there nothing better you have to do with your time than harass me!" I shrieked. They all sniggered again. 
"Well why would we want to stop? Your ever so amusing. Your cheeks get all red and your eyebrows scrunch up when you get angry." Peter mimicked what they said I looked like. I was throughly insulted. 
"Well stop it. And leave me to my thoughts!" I huffed. I turned back to the window and watched the green and browns intermingle into a meaningless blur. I exhaled and rested my head against the cool glass. The lunch cart wheeled in. I was nearly scared out of my wits. I heard another bout of rambunctious laughter. I didn't dare look. I just polietly took my food. I divided it into little groups on my lap. I have to sort things. I get a tad OCD. Well a bit more than a tad. 
"Sirius that's too much!" I went against my better judgment and glanced over my shoulder. Sirius was putting Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans in Peters mouth. It looked like an entire bag. Peter gagged and spit them out. They hit nearly everything. I squeaked in fright and covered my face. I thankfully avoided any major damage. Athena was worse for ware. Her pretty brown and white speckled feathers wear stickly with a multitude of beans. I gasped and localized my rage on the Marauders. 
"What were you doing!" I shouted condescendingly. They all looked at their shoes. False regret covereing their grinning faces. 
"Nothing." Sirius answered simply. I scowled at his up to no good antics. 
"Poor Athena! Look what you did to her!" I was furious. I gingerly picked up her cage and opened the hatch. She looked miserable. I extended my arm into the cage. She hopped on and cooed happily. She is quite little. Her breed is the Athene Noctura, the Little Owl. I pulled her out of the cage and affectionatley nuzzled her head. I, with a disgusted look on my face flung the Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans, back at tha Marauders. I left it at that, Athena had other ideas. She looked curiously at the boys, then back at me. I grinned and she took it as a yes. She flew at the four of them and did her buisness on their hair. She then obediently flew back to me and perched on my shoulder in triumph. I cod have sworn she was smiling, pleased with herself. 
"THAT STUPID BIRD!" James exclaimed, startled and disgusted. I smiled sweetly at the four of them. I am positive I looked positivly angelic. 
"Bad Athena." I said in a tone that hinted it wasn't bad at all.  Remus looked absolutley feral, Sirius was using Peters shirt, he was unaware of course, to clean himself up, and Peter was a sickly shade of pea green. 
I put Theeny back in her cage and quickly latched it. After having fixed my hair and rearranged my food, I was content. 
I unwrapped a turkey sandwich and took a bite. Delicious. I peered out the window. We were almost there. I felt butterflies flutter into my belly. I was so anxious I couldn't eat. I rewrapped the turkey sandwich and slid it in a little bag. I stood on my tip toes and rooted through my chest until I found my robes. I pulled them down and pulled them over my head. I straightened out the blue and bronze colored garments. I blew a strand of hair out of my face and sat down again. The Marauders were unusually silent. I, going with my better judgment, did not ask why.  
"Hey Moony, what's that?" Sirius asked in all seriousness.
"I don't know Padfoot." Remus replied. I closed my eyes took a deep breath and ignored the two of them.
"Prongs, may I poke it?" Peter remarked. My curiosity got the best of me. I shifted in my seat and looked at the source of the commotion. My jaw dropped. Somehow one of my undergarments had gotten out of my trunk. I, like an avenging angel, swooped down and snatched it back up.
"You, you! UGH!!" I screamed. My face was ruby red.
"Look! She is about to explode!" James laughed. I whipped my wand out. 13 inches long made of willow with a Hippogriff talon core. A tough Charms wand. I was seconds from blasting them all to smitherens when the door slid open. I hid my wand and personal object. It was just Lily Evans.
"I was told to tell you to get off. Hello Addilyn" She curtley said. I nodded. I hopped up and yanked the heavy chest down. It came tumbling of the rack. I shrieked and dived out of the way. Those stupid Marauders were chuckling again. I scowled at them. Somehow they had already dressed in their scarlet and gold robes. They walked carelessly out of the compartment. I lagged behind them. Making myself presentable once again. I walked out. Magic was in the air. Hogwarts. Home sweet home.
