Wild and Crazy
"I'm sorry."
"You're always sorry without truly meaning it."
"I mean it this time, I swear to you I do."
"Don't do that!"
"Do what?"
"Look at me with your tortured eyes just so I'll forgive you. I don't want to forgive you."
"Of course you do."
"No I don't. I want to be mad. I am mad."
"Don't be."
"Why not? Because it's childish. Well guess what, Remus! I am a child."
"I never said you weren't."
"You imply it."
"I embrace it."
"You want me to be a child and you know it."
"Of course I do."
"Remus?"
"Yes?"
"I'm not mad at you anymore. I decided that right now."
"You're crazy."
"Of course I am. I'm crazy and wild and beautiful and that's why you love me."
"You forgot annoying. You're crazy, wild, beautiful, and annoying."
"Prat! That's something James would say. You're turning into him."
"Is that such a bad thing, Lily?"
"Yes! James, he's evil and arrogant and…"
"He's my friend."
"So! That's doesn't mean he's a good person."
"You don't even know him that well."
"Yes I do. He's perfect James and I'm perfect Lily and everyone wants us to be together."
"He loves you."
"I don't care. I don't care! You know how many times a day I hear that? 'James loves you.' 'You and James are perrrfect for each other.' I don't want James, can't the world understand that?"
"No one understands it."
"Even you?"
"Even me."
"Remusss! You must understand why I don't want James."
"I don't. I don't understand why you're here with me now. I don't understand why you avoid something you're truly destined for."
"James Bloody Potter is not my destiny."
"And I am?"
"Of course. I love you, Silly."
"Still don't understand why."
"It's not for you to understand."
"You think you'll miss this place?"
"What?"
"After we graduate? Do you think you'll miss this?"
"Hogwarts or us?"
"Both."
"I don't want to think about. I'm only fourteen I don't have to think about it."
"I'll miss it."
"Remus, you were always so…"
"Enchanting? Funny? Handsome?"
"Depressing. You're tragic, Remus. Do you know that?"
"I do now."
"That's why I love you. I'm a sucker for tragedy."
"You love me because I'm sad?"
"Yes, because I got to rebuild you. I got to make life good for you. Got to watch you grow down."
"Grow down?"
"Oh yes. You were sixty years old when you should have been eleven. You're better now though, closer to forty."
"You're insane."
"One of my best qualities."
"James likes that about you. He says you're a beautiful, spontaneous flower."
"Yeah well James can kiss my…"
"Lily! Language!"
"Oh shut up Remus. You're not my father, I can say whatever I want."
"Do you believe, Lily?"
"Believe in what?"
"Anything."
"Of course I do. I believe in goodness and in magic and in…. in you."
"I don't."
"I know."
"I want to."
"I know. Remus?"
"Yeah?"
"Do you ever wish to escape?"
"Escape what?"
"Reality."
"Everyday."
"Do you think when you do that I can go with you?"
"Lily, I won't really…"
"You're so old, Remus. So old, so boring."
"If I'm boring then why are you here with me."
"Because you're interesting and funny and you pour me pumpkin juice."
"Nice to know why you like having me around."
"Do you miss it?"
"Miss what?"
"Being a kid? You're so old, you know?"
"No, I don't miss it."
"How? If I grew up before my time I would miss it."
"I don't remember ever being I kid. I've always been…"
"Old?"
"Yes, old."
"I'll be old one day, too. You won't like me then."
"Why won't I?"
"Because I won't be crazy anymore. I won't be wild or free and I won't be able to sit with you under a tree for hours at a time."
"You'll always be wild and crazy. You wouldn't be Lily if you aren't."
"James wants to tame me."
"James likes you because you're wild. He wouldn't tame you."
"James says I'm perfect. I don't think I'm perfect."
"James is a kid. What does he know?"
"So! I'm a kid, too, Remus. Only you aren't because you're tragic!"
"So I've heard. James is right, you know?"
"Bout what?"
"That you're perfect. You are."
"No, I'm not. I'm not!"
"You are to me."
"I don't want to be perfect. I want to be human and odd."
"What's bad about being perfect?"
"I would have to match my socks."
"Oh, right. You're still perfect, despite you're mismatched socks."
"Only to you. Just like you're only perfect to me."
"Am I crazy and beautiful, too?"
"Wild. You forgot wild!"
"Oh, right. Am I crazy and beautiful and wild?"
"No! But you're better. You're Remus and I wouldn't have you any other way."
"Even though I'm tragic?"
"Because you're tragic."
"I think I'll miss Hogwarts."
"It's four years away. We're fourth years, Remus. Tell me that again in two years. Then I'll listen."
"You'll never listen. You'll never have a conversation that will lead to a goodbye."
"We'll never say goodbye."
"Everybody says goodbye sometime."
"Not us! Not people who love each other like we do."
"Even us! Even if we love each other!"
"You're so depressing, Remus."
"Sorry"
"Don't be. Besides, if you really love me, you won't let me say goodbye."
"What if by then you love James?"
"I'll never love James!"
"Yes you will. You and James will get married with the perfect wedding, have the perfect life, and a perfect child."
"Sounds booooring."
"Sounds perfect."
"It isn't! The only way my life will be perfect is if I spend it with you."
"Promise?"
"Promise."
"It's starting to get dark."
"Afraid?"
"No, just observing."
"It would be better if you were afraid."
"You want to go in, yet? It'll be cold soon."
"No!"
"Me either."
