A/N: The second chapter is up! Enjoy and please review!
Disclaimer: Getting bored of saying this but I'm going to say it anyhow, I don't own anything apart from the characters that I have made up! All the other characters belong to J.K Rowling!
The summer holidays were approaching fast which caused anxiety amongst the 6th years as they will only have another year left at Hogwarts. The marauders were sitting huddled up in the common room, chatting away about what their final year was still to bring. But James was still in is own world, dreaming away…………….
THUND!
'What was that for?!' James demanded as Sirius gave him a guilty look
'Listen Prongs, you have to get over her. You don't have to her, there's plenty more to choose from' Sirius stated as he winked at a pretty 5th year, who giggled and rushed off to her friends.
'Yeh' James muttered, 'But not one of them is like Lily'
'I give up! Moony, it's your turn to knock some sense into him. I'm off as I've got a meeting to get to, which involves a girl and a broom closes' and with that, he gave his fellow marauders a sly grin, and sped out of the common room.
Remus, who was reading 'Fantastic Beats and where to Find them' for the 8th time, sighed as he closed his book.
'You do understand why she hates-dislikes you?'
'Because I'm an arrogant jerk?' James suggested, knowing that this was true but not wanting to admit it.
'Listen Mate, if you want to win her heart over, you have to change your ways'
'Yeh, I know'
'Seriously though, you know what I'm saying?'
James gave Remus a 'Your-not-helping' look. Remus realized that he wasn't in the mood for a joke.
'Sorry Mate, but you know where I'm coming from? You've got one year left to get your girl; don't blow it'
James steered his head, and tuned to look at Remus. Just what was going on in that head of his? He was about to ask, but Remus got there first.
'You can start off by apologizing?' suggested Remus.
James looked at him worryingly; as he remembered the last time he tried to apologize to Lily Evans. Let's just say, that it didn't go as to planned, and that he ended up in the Hospital Wing. James shuddered, as he remembered of this encounter.
'I suppose that if I want to get her, I have to go through what ever' James said weakly
And with that, he got up, and glanced at his friend.
'If I'm not back by eleven, you know what happened to me' and with that, he made his way out of the Common Room.
Remus leaned on the cushions, and let out a deep sigh. What the other Marauders were unaware of, was that Remus was struggling with his own love battle. Belle Thompson, on of Lily's best friends. He had a major crush on her, ever since their first encounter on the 9 ¾ platform. Her auburn hair, grey eyes, her smile….
URGH! He was doing it again! He really had to stop doing this, before one of the other marauders found out. He had considered the possibility of telling her, but there was too much at risk. You see. Remus is a werewolf and has to transform every month. But thanks to the marauders, it aint as bad as it used to be. Well the thing is….. The marauders are illegal amanigi, and if anyone found out, well they will be spending the rest of their lives in Azkaban.
Glancing at the clock, he realized that it coming up to ten O' Clock. Deciding to take an early night, he forced himself up and made his way up towards the boy's dormitory. As the door banged shut, a sigh could be heard from the far end of the common room. She had spent the last ½ hour gazing at him. If only he knew she wondered out aloud.
'Belle! Where are you?'
'I'm on my way up, just give me a sec'
With one last glance at the spot where Remus sat a few minutes ago, she made her way up the stairs with her mind full of confusing thoughts.
