Here's the first full chapter. ENJOY
The summer sun shone over the garden, flowers in full bloom filling the area with bright colours, the grass greener. Perfectly tranquil. I laid with Debbie on the grass as we hopped to improve the tan on our already browned skin. I pulled at the grass in front of me, still agitated from my thoughts.
"I can't wait to go back, I can feel this year will be a good one" Debbie said looking up at the clear sky
"I guess" I sighed flicking the grass I'd pulled out away from me, the girl sensed my agitation
"Has he still not said anything?" She asked
"It's been six weeks" I stated sitting up looking at her "Does he suddenly not care about me?"
"You know that's not true" Debbie said desperately trying to reassure me
"Why else would he ignore me then? I've sent so many owls, I seem like some crazy possessive girlfriend to his family or something"
"That's because you basically are" Debbie chuckled, my eyes glared at her completely unamused "When are you going to give in? If you didn't like him so much you wouldn't be so worked up about this"
My hand launched a pile of grass at her face, Debbie disgruntled brushed it off. The sound flapping of wings overhead, the dark owl zoomed into my garden, my heart began to race, as the owl landed on the arm I extended out for it
"Thanks, Blaze" The owl flew off as I took the post delivered, quickly flicking through it. Several to Dad, some to Michael, one for me. "School letter"
I opened the envelope, disappointed it was not what I was hoping for, a small badge dropped out onto the grass. Debbie rushed to it before I could
"Just prefect, of course you would be" She handed me the pin, a beautiful red badge with a golden P. The letter containing details of textbooks and equipment we'd need for the year. "I'll send an owl when I get home, we'll meet them at the leaky cauldron as usual"
The next morning I woke up early and made my way to Debbie's house it was easier if we travelled together. Her parents had floo powder making it much faster. We arrived on time and for once found the boys waiting for us at the door. Sirius pulled Debbie into a passionate kiss as they greeted each other, which nobody really wished they had to watch. James finally pulled the two apart as we departed for the shops.
Several hours later we slumped on a table just by the door of the pub, the bags surrounding our feet. Peter got the drinks in, which we quickly chugged down, parched from our shopping spree.
"Good summer?" Remus asked looking at me
"You'd know if you actually talked to me" I snapped running my finger around the rim of my glass. Chatter around the rest of the table fell silent.
"I need to talk to you about that" He replied quietly, Debbie tried to initiate conversation with the others, but they were too engrossed in what was happening opposite them.
"You ignored me for six weeks! There better be a good fucking reason for it!" I practically shouted, more and more people looking in our direction. Before I could react, I was pulled by the wrist outside like a misbehaving child. He finally let go as we stood outside the pub, I crossed my arms over my chest, staring a him eager for him to explain himself. The boy stood staring at me ruffling his hair awkwardly
"Well?" I grew impatient from the silence
"My dad was being a bit of a prick and went through my post, and he saw some of your letters" He began to explain himself "He thinks I'm too close to you"
"Bit sexist, he doesn't have a problem with Sirius or James" I said disgruntled
"No, its not like that" He replied his eyes dropping to his feet as they shuffled around "He doesn't think I should be close with you, in case of other things, which may develop. Especially with the furry little problem as James calls it"
"Oh…." My arms dropped as I awkwardly played with the hem of my shirt "But why didn't you just send an owl to someone else and get them to send it to me"
"My dad isn't stupid, I tried but it didn't work" Remus pulled my face up to look at him "Am I forgiven now?"
I thought for a moment, staring at his eyes "I suppose"
A grin formed across his face, he held out his arm "Well m'lady, I believe the others are waiting"
I shook my head giggling but gladly took his arm as we walked back into the pub, the others sat staring at one another before Sirius burst out laughing
"I'm sorry but you too honestly are like an old married couple when you argue" He chuckled, Debbie promptly hitting his arm as we blushed, James suddenly urged us to all be quiet
"Now I have some important news" James said
"You're no longer going to ask out Lily?" I asked teasingly
"No, never going to happen don't distract me" He answered back, before reaching into his pocket. Out he pulled the most unexpected item. The head boy badge.
