Authors note: I do not own any of J.K's characters. Only my original character.
I'm not sure how I've been able to hide my relationship for so long from my friends but it has been suprisingly easy. They remain completely clueless about me having any form of a love life. How do I know this you might ask?
"You should ask that cute Hufflepuff out Moony. I think she's had her eye on you for a while now," Sirius said to me at breakfast. School started barely 2 weeks ago. Usually Sirius is too tied up in his own personal life, since the dry period of summer vacation, to take any notice of mine. Unfortunately for me he is 2 months ahead of schedule it seems.
"I highly doubt that Pads," I've developed a defence against their eagerness to interfere. Play dumb. I've always felt bad for lying to them but I just have to remind myself that it's for her safety.
I continue to avoid his gaze by pretending to read my book. I've learned that most of the time he will let things drop if you don't show any interest what so ever. Of course sometimes it completely backfires and he just tries twice as hard to get your attention. 'Like now,' I thought as he ripped my book away from my view.
"Come on! You have to get a girl this year. Even Peter has dated more then you, and that's just really sad."
I glared at him, "Well that's Peters choice to date. Frankly Sirius, I think my decision to date is just that. My. Decision," I tried grabbing for my book but he just moved it farther out of my reach.
He only smirked at me, "Well 'frankly' Remus, I don't think it should be left up for you to decide," with a twinkle in his eye he tossed my book to me before getting up and leaving the Great Hall.
That is not a good sign. He's plotting something and I can already tell he's going to end up crossing the line. The problem is he doesn't know the line is there and I'm not sure how to warn him about it.
