Hello, people of Earth and/or other planets! Ok! I need you people to know that my computer acts weird and does not let me put anything in between the author notes and the story itself so I will probably just space a lot in between the two. And heard that some (if not all/most) get annoyed with my author notes at the end of each chapter. Well there is nothing I can do about it because I get bad reviews so they make me keep on writing, so… I am sorry if they bug. (Just deal with it, k?) Ok… here is the real first chapter!

INTRO! Chapter 1
There sat Remus Lupine, 7th year Griffindor prefect, by the Black Lake thinking about the year new 'official' couples. This year it seemed everyone had someone for themselves! All his best mates had one, even Peter! James was going out with the other Griffindor prefect, Lily Evens; Sirius was going out with a Ravenclaw, Rosalie DeWitt, and Peter was going out with the Griffindor chaser, Emily Startwood. But, alas, Remus had no one.
But while there were new hook-ups there were also some new break-ups as well. For example: after breaking up with Severus Snape; getting together with Rodolphus Lestrange and then breaking up with him Bellatrix Black was now finally single.
Bellatrix Black was rather tall for her age, she had dark brown ,almost black, mid-back length hair and fierce gray eyes. He was considered the 'Queen of Slytherin' and for good reason, too. Even though she was not as pretty as Narcissa, or as smart as Andromeda, her younger sisters, she was pretty and smart enough to control mostly everyone in Slytherin, as well as a few teachers.
She also came from a, supposed, pure-blood family of great wealth and pride. They were strong supporters of Salazar Slytherin's belief that only pureblood families should attend Hogwarts, and therefore she, supposedly, looked down on things like Remus. Or, at least that's what he thought. But either way it didn't matter right? Because he didn't care what she thought of him, right?
Losing his track of mind, Remus jolted forward as he felt hit his head and something fall in his lap. Looking down, he saw someone apologizing repeatedly about tripping over him as well as dropping their books on him, while getting off of him. It took him a while realized whom it was. But once he did he saw the person he had just been thinking about…Bellartix Black!
"Oh! Remus!" she said with a small tint of red colouring in her cheeks while she talked. "I'm so sorry about tripping over you."
From what he could tell, she seemed a little jumpy. "Oh! It's alri-," he started to say, but I was interrupted by a bark of laughter as my best mate and school heart-throb, Sirius Black came over.
"Oi! Remus! What are you do-," he stopped mid-way in his sentence upon seeing his cousin and Remus; together. Sirius just stood there stunned waiting for words to come out of his gaping mouth that was opening and closing. But since none came he just looked like a goldfish with hair.
Bellatrix took this opportunity to whisper to Remus, "Meet me here at 11:23, ok?" But before he could answer she had gotten up; walked over to Sirius and whacked him on the head with her biggest hard-backed book and walked of with a smug expression on her face as if she was the luckiest girl in the world. Remus, however, did not get off so easily. Oh, no. Remus had to listen to a rant until the two reached the Great Hall, then all Sirius could talk about was the upcoming Hogsmede weekend and how he was spending it with Rosalie.
But while Sirius begged Remus to stay and play wizard's chess with him, Remus declined the tempting offer to kick Sirius's butt and headed up to his dorm. Once he got up there he set his alarm onto the dog whistle setting to the time 11:00 so he could get prepared without waking his roommates. But he was lying awake in his bed with anxiety until it was time to get ready to meet Bellatrix. He turned his alarm off clumsily but not so clumsily that he woke everyone else up. He quickly got dressed into a pair of jeans and a crimson, crew-necked shirt. It had a picture of a silhouette guy sitting down with an IPod and a book, but instead of the regular IPod logo it said IRead.
He quickly left the dorm and quickly and quietly ran down the steps and left the common room without a moment to lose. He made his way to the Black Lake. Making sure that no one was following him, he climbed up to the top of the tree looking back on where he had just come from.
He sat up there for about 15 minutes before he spotted someone, a girl from what he could tell, running from the school towards the Black Lake and Remus. He waved his hands in the air but she didn't seem to notice him. It looked as if she was running from someone or something. But whatever it was he knew one thing it was Bellatrix and she was running as if no one was there besides herself and whatever was chasing her. But what confused Remus most was when he looked for something behind her, he saw nothing.She completely passed by the Lake and Remus and ran straight to the Forbidden Forest.
Remus jumped out of the tree and landed gracefully on the ground and yelled, "'Bellatrix! Bellatrix!'" Obviously she heard this because she stopped and turned toward him but she looked scared out of her wits! "Bellatrix," Remus said as he caught up to her after she stopped, "what's wrong?"
'"Remus, get back inside the school, now! I don't want to hurt you!"' she screamed.
"What's wrong? What are you even talking about?! How could you hurt me?" he asked confused.
"I'm a werewolf. Like you." she said exasperated as she collapsed before him.
At first Remus just stood there shocked at what he had just heard. "No." he said. He didn't believe her. She was a pureblood, she couldn't be a werewolf like him. No matter, he carried her bridal style back to the castle and took her straight to the infirmary. He told the nurse that he saw her in the hallway collapsed. And stayed by her side thinking over what she had just told him…
