I'm glad that you liked this. I wanted to write a fic where the guy and gal who end up together are enemies at first. Now a quick question for you, Sirius/Mel or Remus/Mel? I think I like one better than the other, but it's up to you. I can change. Who cares about what the author thinks, right?

Ugh. I have just heard the word again. It all started with evil little Hannah.

"Hey, Melanie." She crows. What does she want? "I heard that you are going to Hogsmeade with Re-Re. I'm going with Siri. Maybe we'll catch you there."

Alice knows that I'm going to explode. I always do when it comes to evil, mean, little bitchy Hannah. Ugh! She comes up to me and smiles sweetly at Hannah.

"Of course she's going, Hannah. Sirius Black asked her himself this morning, but she decided to go with Remus instead. When did you get on such close terms with them, dearest?"

Hannah's face turns ugly. "For your information, I've been friends with them since forever. I think that you are Remus are perfect together." She shoots at me. She storms away, leaving me to my own pitiful thoughts.

How are Remus and I perfect together when I despise him and only asked him on a date to get his friend away from me? How can we be perfect together when we've only met, and all I see him as is a bigheaded, arrogant Marauder? It can't even be our looks. I, not to brag, actually to complain, am pretty, and Remus, well, Remus is Remus. Scrawny, sickly, pale Remus. That Remus.

There's only one answer to that. We aren't perfect together. For once, I don't want to be.

"Mel!" Alice crows. "Get up and get ready for your date!" I feel the covers being yanked away from me. God. Sometimes I hate Alice.

"Go away. Not going." I say before turning around. After a second, I'm yelling as Alice flicks her wand, turning me upside-down. I glare evilly at her. She is so dead.

Maybe not. As she let's me drop, I reluctantly reach for my favorite sweatpants and throw them on, daring Alice to say anything about my lack of taste. Wisely, she let's me wear the sweatpants without too much hesitation. I know that she's dying to tell me to put on a skirt, but hey. I'm pretty enough without the skirt. I hate attention and that'd call it!

So I throw a plain t-shirt on and a sweatshirt over that. Alice looks at me in disproval but doesn't say anything as I smirk at her before heading down to the Common Room to find Sirius and Hannah snogging. I snicker. They so deserve each other.

Remus is sitting at a table, reading. Frank Longbottom is sitting next to him. I am actually friends with Frank so I slide in beside him.

"Hey, Frank. How's it going? I haven't talked to you in a while." I grin. I feel Remus' eyes on me, but I ignore him.

Frank smiles. "I know. I'm doing great. You?"

I laugh. "Same as ever. Black won't leave me alone, Hannah's as nasty as ever, Alice is…Alice." I grin as Frank laughs.

"Well, I knew that one. Alice will be Alice, right? Well, I better go say hi. She's going to kill me, since I haven't said hi in forever."

I laugh and wave to him. Before I can say anything to Remus, I'm distracted.

Yay! I love distractions!

Anna and Lily walk up to me, eyes flashing dangerously. I raise my eyebrows at them. They glare. Lily's the first to speak.

"Want to help us kill Potter and Black?" Lily growled.

"What'd they do now?" I ask, my eyes now flashing as well.

"Black held Lily down so Potter could kiss her." Anna whispers. "Lucky that I showed up."

I smile grimly. "Let's go. I'll grab Alice."

I rush off before Lupin can stop me.

Oh, yes. We're back to last names.

I'll kill Black and Potter for this. Lily is my friend. They will stop messing with her, or they'll face my wrath.

And man, do I have a mean number of hexes and jinxes up my sleeve. I can't wait to use them.

Mwhahahahaha!

I think I'm going crazy.



We find Black and Potter in the entrance hall, laughing and joking together. I know why Lily and Anna came to me, as I whip out my wand and throw myself at Black. I am vicious. That's for sure.

Sirius grins at me as I press my wand to his throat. We are closer than we ever have been. That doesn't bother me, though. I'm too busy trying to kill him. Behind me, I feel the other two grabbing Potter.

"Black," I growl. "Apologize to Lily. I heard how filthy you were." I back away a little, still pointing my wand at him. I turn to Potter and slap him hard. "No wonder she hates you! Apologize now!" I yell. The littler kids rush away. If looks could kill, I'd be the only one standing right now.

I turn back to Black. "Sorry, Evans." He says. I can tell he doesn't mean it, but it's the best I'll get out of him. I turn to glare at Potter.

"Sorry, Lily. I didn't mean it, you know."

Lily glares at him coolly. "I don't care, Potter. Never touch me again." She slaps him before stomping away. I turn on them both, casting stinging hexes at them. Ha. They'll be very uncomfortable the whole Hogsmeade trip, I think as Anna and I follow Lily.

Now for my dreaded date with Remus. What have I done?



I practically order Alice to meet up with us after an hour. She reluctantly agrees, and I am finally relieved. At least Lupin pretends to be nice, unlike his three friends, although I think that they're too dumb to know how to be nice!

We order our butterbeer and sit down. "Hey, Lupin!" I say. He looks at me, a little hurt. Wow. Is that stupid or what? He's always looking at me like that. If Alice were here, I know what her expression would be like.

Not that I care. I don't let people order me around. Melanie Fischer, Gryffindor at Hogwarts is too stubborn for that. No one shall order me around.

Something possessed me to be nice to Lupin, so I apologize. I know! So unlike me, Marauder-hater that I am! So I turn to him. "Sorry, Remus." I smile. "It's still hard for me to get used to liking you. I used to despise you." Still do, I mentally corrected myself.

Remus smiles. "That's okay. I agree with you. A week ago I just thought of you as the girl who always flirted with Sirius."

I choke over my butterbeer. After I regain my use of air, I say, "Are you crazy?!"

He shakes his head, looking puzzled. "What?"

"Black and me." I laugh nervously. "There's no way in fricking hell that we'd date. If you haven't noticed, I hate him even more than I do Potter and Pettigrew!" I shudder. "Thanks. Now I'll have nightmares about him."

"He isn't that bad." Remus says, looking a little confused.

I laugh. "His best was that one time when he tripped me and then apologized after I threatened to…um, do something bad to him." I blush, remembering my threat.

"I don't even want to know." Remus says. I giggle.

"Yeah, probably not."

Even though it wasn't as bad as I thought, I was relieved when Alice finally showed up, until she told me that Sirius had just broken up with Hannah, who though it was because of me. I swear loudly enough for Alice to hit my head hard.

"Ow, Alice!" I glare at her. "Will you go kill Sirius for me?"

She rolls her eyes. "You've done enough for today, after that nasty stinging hex. You should see him right now. Mel, I didn't mean literally!" She yells as I jump up from the table, determined to laugh at Sirius.

I never get that chance, thank you very much. I am pulled back to the table by Alice and her Ravenclaw friend. I scowl at them, but I take my seat all the same. I'll get my chance to kill him later.

I hand Alice the rest of my hot coffee, not thirsty for caffeine anymore. She gulps it down, and I shake my head at her.

"So Alice, shall we go back to the school?"

She rolls her eyes at me before turning to smile at Remus. "Don't mind her, Remus. She has the attention span of a two year old. Let's go, Miss Perfect."

Me, Miss Perfect? I'm so going to get her for that!

Haven't I already explained the many ways that Melanie Alexandra Fischer is far from perfect? I thought so.

I settle with a glare at my best friend. Whatever would I do without her?

Another glare.
