Remus backed away, abruptly. "I have to go," he said. His eyes were burning in anger and filled with confusion. Bekka blinked and he was gone. He had already disappeared out of the library.
Bekka stood there holding on to the book, trying to figure out what just happened. She replayed the last few minutes in her head. "He is going to die," she finally hissed. Bekka quickly grabbed her stuff and walked to the common room, her anger radiating from her.
Severus and Regulus looked up in surprise as she came rushing in. One look at her told the boys that everything was not okay. "Everything okay, Bekka?" Severus asked anyway.
"Yes, Sev, everything is just spiffy," she said, her voice filled with sarcasm. "I had a wonderful time working with Remus. I hope I get to work with him everyday for the rest of my life."
"What happen there, Bekka?" Regulus asked, confused and concerned.
"The little prick…" Bekka started. She shook her head, "Never mind. I'm not going to talk about. Just know that there's a new plan, kill Remus Lupin."
"Bekka tell us what happened. And don't tell us nothing we know you better than that… at least I do," Regulus said.
"We both do. There is something really bothering you. We're you friends, we care about you," Severus said. "Tell us what's going on."
"Bloody hell, you two sound like Hufflepuffs," Bekka said. The two boys glared at her. "Fine, I'll tell you, but not in here. Let's go to the lake." She walked out before either of them could respond. The boys quickly stood and followed her.
The walk to Black Lake was quiet. The three Slytherins didn't run into anyone or say anything to each other. They walked past many other students having their own conversations and laughing. Bekka sent them a glare as if yelling at them for laughing. Her glares went unnoticed by the laughing kids, but not by Regulus and Severus. Once they reached the lake Bekka headed toward a spot far away from other students. She sat down and leaned against a near-by tree. "You really want to know what happened?" she asked finally. The other two nodded, as the sat beside her, one on each side. "The little bugger kissed me."
"What?" Regulus yelled.
"Calm down. You have no right to be pissed off. He didn't kiss me, but he almost did. His mouth was less then an inch away from mine," Bekka said, trying to keep her anger from showing.
"Why the hell did you let his lips get that close?" Sev asked.
"Because it's a little difficult to push him away when he has you pinned against a book self," she said, annoyed.
"Bloody hell, Bekka. If he was that close then why didn't he just kiss you?" Sev asked.
Bekka glared at him. "I don't know. One second he was there and the next he was gone, like disappeared out of the library gone."
"Okay… I agree with you Bekka, he needs to die," Regulus said, fury burning in his eyes.
"Gee, Reg I didn't really care if you agreed or not. Either way I was going to kill him."
"Don't you think you are being a little dramatic here? At least he didn't actually kiss you, which would have been worse right?" Sev asked.
"Yes… because if he kissed me it would be a long drawn out death. Now it's just going to be a single Avada Kadavra," she said, with an evil grin.
"Now come on it's almost dinner. I want to shower before we head to the great hall," she said, standing. She wiped invisible dust of her butt as she began to walk towards the castle. The boys didn't move for a few seconds. The jumped up and jogged to catch up with her.
"This is certainly turning out to be an interesting year," Severus whispered to Regulus. Regulus nodded his head in agreement. Bekka seemed to be in her own little world
"Hey Bekka! How about a game of wizard's chess after dinner?" Regulus asked, trying to bring her back down to Earth.
She shook her head. "I still have Slughorn's essay I need to do. So I'm heading to the library right after dinner."
"The essay's due tomorrow. You are almost done aren't you?" Severus asked.
Bekka shook her head. "I haven't even started it. I've been… doing other things," she said.
"You told me you were working on that essay all day yesterday. Now you are telling me that you haven't even started?" Regulus said.
"I haven't… like I said I was doing other things. Don't bother asking what because I won't tell you," she said, simply. Regulus glared at her. The rest of the walk to the common room was completed in silence.
"Maleficus," Severus said, as they reached the common room entrance. The entrance was revealed to them.
"I'll talk to you boys later. I'm smell like a bloody Gryffindor, so I got to shower. Try not to miss me too much while I'm gone," she said, walking straight towards the girl's dormitory.
"So what do you say we go find a certain Gryffindor and kill him," Severus asked Regulus.
"I would love to but I think Bekka would get a little pissed. She probably wants to be the one to kill him," Regulus said, sensibly.
"Damn… I see your point."
A long while later, Bekka came back to the common room. Her hair was still wet from her shower. "Did you boys have fun while I was gone?" she asked, cheerfully.
"What the hell took so long? You left like an hour ago!" Regulus said.
"It would make sense if you did your hair, but you didn't even dry it," Severus said.
"So? I took a long shower. It's not that big of a deal, guys. A girl likes to do that every now and then," she said, rolling her eyes. She looked around the common room and realized almost everyone had left for dinner.
"Bloody hell, Bekka, what do you do in the shower for that long?"
"I wonder why boys are such idiots and why I hang out with them," she replied. "Now let's go. Bekka is hungry." The boys shook their heads as she talked about herself in third person. Bekka had the habit of doing that randomly.
"Let's go then," Regulus said, as his stomach growled.
"Seems like Bekka isn't the only one that is hungry," Severus commented.
Regulus shot Severus a death glare, before heading out of the common room. The other two Slytherins followed. Dinner was like any other dinner they had. They didn't talk about what happened earlier, they just laughed and pretended everything was normal. "I'm out of here, my lovers," Bekka said.
"You know, you really should stop calling us your lovers," Regulus commented. Severus just rolled his eyes. This conversation took place a lot.
"I truly would love to continue this conversation, but I have Slughorn's essay I still need to write. So I'll talk to you, two later," she said, walking out of the Great Hall.
Bekka started to head towards the library. She paused, half-way there to gaze at the full moon and its reflection on Black Lake. "Gods, it must be easy to be the moon," she said to herself. "I'm surprise Regulus doesn't see that something is up. But something is wrong with me… I wanted him to kiss me. Bloody hell… why did I just admit that? I did not want him to kiss me; I wanted him to do exactly what he did," Bekka continued, frustrated with herself. She shook her head and continued toward the library.
Around the corner from the library, she found her self knocked over by someone fleeing from the library it seemed. "What the hell?" she said, looking to see who just knocked her over. It was none other than Remus Lupin. He was on the floor, having knocked himself over as well. Her anger came roaring back to life. "Bloody hell, Lupin. What is your problem today?" she asked, standing.
"I'd love to stay and chat but I must run along, Powers. Talk to you tomorrow," he said, standing up and dashing away.
"Don't you dare run away from me, Lupin!" she yelled, chasing after him. "You have got a lot of explaining to do and I want answers now!" Remus didn't respond just ran away from her. Bekka chased him out the great doors and onto the grounds, where they weren't even supposed to be this late at night. "Fine. Forget answers, I'll just kill you," she yelled. She grinned as she realized she was catching up to him.
After a few more minutes of running, she jumped and tackled him. She was pulling out her wand when he finally spoke, "Powers, get out of here now," he said, urgently.
"Hell no… I'm not leaving here until you're dead. Avada K-" Before Bekka could finish the spell she was knocked over my big black dog. The dog bit down on her arm and began to drag her towards the castle. "Lupin, call your dog off!" she yelled, fighting the dog. She looked around for Remus and all she saw was a were-wolf heading for straight towards her. "Oh shit," she was the first thing that came in to her mind. "Lupin is a bloody were-wolf," she said, mostly to the dog.
The dog dropped her arm and ran to face off with the were-wolf. Bekka was to shocked to move. After a few minutes of fighting, the were-wolf/Lupin had thrown the black dog to the side. Bekka looked at it for a few seconds and realized that it wasn't getting up anytime soon. She looked back at the were-wolf/Lupin and realized he was less then 5 feet away. "I'm going to die," she said, simply. Then everything went black.
Okay thats all for now... I've already started chapter 4 so no worries it shouldn't take too long for me to upload. Unless I decide to be mean and make you wait longer for it. evil smile
On another note... I need you people to give me challenges! My beta gave me another one, that I'll probably put in the next chapter, but it would be awesome to get some from my readers. I don't even care if they are the most random thing ever... like putting an ice cream sundae in the story. I think it would be interesting to try and do something like that...
Anyways... to those of you that review thank you! And you all deserve a cookie. To everyone that just reads... thanks for reading... but you still don't deserve a cookie...
