Chapter Four: Arguements and After Meetings
Remus's POV
(A/N: More than likely every friend of Elizabeth will have a point of view in this story.)
I noticed out of the corner of my eye Sirius's glare. I was shocked to say the most. Sirius had never really shown any interest in Elizabeth, but his behavior in the carriage seemed to say different. He stopped glaring when he noticed that I had saw.
Elizabeth's voice interrupted my thoughts, "Remus?" she sounded uncertain, I looked at her, "Can we talk? In private?" She asked me. I noticed how there was curiousty and a little of fear in her eyes. I nodded. What could have Elizabeth afraid? I watched as Elizabeth stood up and walked out of the Great Hall. I followed out of curiousty.
"I suppose that you want to talk now?" I asked, now curious of why we had to leave the Great Hall in order to talk. But if I knew her, I know that whatever she was going to say was going to be important.
"Yeah." She said, going into an empty classroom. I blinked but followed her in the classroom. She leaned against the wall and looked at the floor. "I'm curious, Remus." I nodded. "How long have you been a werewolf?" I swallowed and felt fear shoot through me.
"How long have you known?" I asked.
"Since third year." She said. "But you still haven't answered my question."
"Since I was five." I told her, she smiled.
"I thought so." She answered. I was shocked, then I felt afraid. What if she felt replused by me? As if reading my mind, she answered walking toward me, "Remus, I still see you as the way I did when I met you. I still respect you. I still think of you as my friend. You are still the boy that I met on the train that day. It doesn't matter to me if you're a werewolf or not." Looking me directly in the eyes. She had come face to face with me now. I was shocked, she accepted me. She respected me. That I wasn't used to. Elizabeth Dana Potter was amazing.
Elizabeth's POV
It was killing me to stand this close to him and not be closer. If that makes any sense. If it doesn't allow me to explain, I feel an attraction to him. I suppose that I have since third year. Remus was still looking at me.
Remus's POV
God, how badly I wished to kiss her.
Wait! What?!
You know what you thought. You want to kiss her. So why stop thinking and do it?!
What if she rejects me? It will be so odd to be around her..and if James should find out that I tried to kiss his sister surely the conquenses would be horrible.
I really do need to stop talking to myself. I looked down and saw her looking at me. She had a look about her eyes. I leaned in slowly and kept looking into her eyes. I saw no signs of regret or fear. She shocked me, by closing the distance between us. I blinked but leaned into the kiss. I watched her eyes flutter close.
We broke apart knowing that we needed to breathe. She smiled and me and I smiled back.
"You don't know how long I've wanted to do that." She told me. I smiled but had a hard time consealing my shock. I always that it would be Sirius and her who got together. But I was shocked to find out that it would be her and I.
"Really?" I asked.
"Really," she said gently pecking me on the lips. I smiled, my eyes were closed.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting long." I said, returning her peck with care. She smiled and looked me in the eyes. "Can I tell you a secret?" I asked her.
"What is it?" She answered, turning her head to the side in that cute little way that made her resemble a puppy.
"I have been waiting to kiss you since third year." I said. I watched as a blush washed over her face. I smiled. "I'm glad that I finally have. I never really knew what I was missing." I said. She smiled and kissed me again, I noticed that she practically jumped on me. She was kissing me with all the passion that I had never felt.
Suddenly we heard him..
Sirius's POV
I had followeed then when they left the Great Hall. I didn't know what to expect. But I heard their whole conversation. I was shocked that Remus had not told us of what he was. But Eliza had found out easily. I watched as Remus leaned in toward her. Jealously and anger shot through me. But when she closed the distance, I lost it. I waited trying to compose myself but they broke apart and looked at one another. I heard the conversation they'd had.
Jealousy and anger make a man stupid.
"What the hell?!" I yelled. I watched in satifaction as the broke apart. "Well hell, Remus! I never thought that you'd be the one to get with Elizabeth over there. Oh, wait until James finds out!" I said, knowing good and well that I was jealous of Remus, he now had the one girl that I couldn't have and wanted so badly. I tried to walk away but was stopped by Elizabeth's voice.
"Come on, Remus." She said to him. I turned and saw her wink at him. "I know the perfect place to go." She said to him in a low voice. Jealousy sparked through me. I turned away and walked as fast as I could. I was going to find that Hufflepuff that had looked at me with such interest.
Remus's POV
I was amazed. She had just turned Sirius' own personality against him. The way he acted when she'd caught him with women many times. I was just somewhat shocked that she had implied it with me. I laughed but walked out with her.
I knew that look on Sirius' face was jealousy. I also knew that he wanted what he couldn't have. And Elizabeth Potter was one of them. Not only because she was James' sister but because she didn't necessary like Sirius.
I even found her behavior captivating. She acted as though she didn't care about what people thought of her. So unlike her brother. But she walked with confidence. She had this air to her that shouted mystery. She was a girl all own her own. She was independent and it showed with everything she did.
While her brother walked with confidence, they were so different. James cared what people thought about him, especially the woman that usually surrounded him. James was dependent on others for company, for happiness. James' air was of confidence when it came to the ladies. Yes, James loved his sister so much. He was protective of her. That protectiveness was one of care and love for her. Wheter she knew it or not was another story. She had always told Lily that she found it annoying. But I suppose that you had to look at it from his point of view to see what he does.
I know that I do. Elizabeth is really beautiful even though she doesn't like to accept it. She's not vain. She's amazing. Alot of guys like her, even though she acts as though she doesn't she it. But I do. Over the years, I have noticed that way that they looked at her. Just like I've noticed the way she looked at me. I ignored it back then, acted as though she was looking at someone else. I didn't want to anger James. But it seems now that we are together, it would be unescapable. It was going to happen, he was going to find out, there would be no reasoning with him. Not that I expected to have to reason with him. I knew that if it were Sirius who tried to date her, he would get angry.
Elizabeth's POV
For the first time in a long time, I was able to really smile and it was because of Remus. I didn't even care that Sirius had basically threatened to tell James. I'm pretty sure that James would be happy that I got with Remus.
Remus and I had been walking in silence. I suppose that we were both buried into our own thoughts. We stopped in front of the common room. That is where I turned to Remus.
"Remus?" I called to him. He snapped his head down and looked at me. Must have been some thought process.
"Elizabeth." He said. I laughed but hugged him and he kissed my cheek. At the same time we both said the password, as we walked in a new round of laughter started.
But our laughter was short-live for we spotted a lone figure sitting by the fire..
