Previously in Loony Loopy Moony Lupin: As soon as we entered the dorm to find Lily sitting on her bed reading a magazine Lori blurted out "YOU DIDN'T TELL US YOU LIKED REMUS!"
"JAYDE LIKES REMUS?" Lily exclaimed throwing her Witch Weekly magazine down on the floor with her face full of surprise.
The look on her face turned slowly from a surprised one to a happy one. I was pissed! "Keep it down! They might be able hear you and you might wake the dead!" I said back in a loud whisper angered at my friends for their lack of support.
"Sirius was more supportive than you guys!" I blurted out.
"Sirius knew and WE didn't!" Lori asked.
By now, I was sitting on my bed with my legs crossed and my arms folded. Lily, Lori and Natalie were all sitting across from me on Natalie's bed looking at me intently with their faces full of curiosity. I'll have to ask Lily if I could borrow that blue shirt she's wearing tomorrow… JAYDE FOCUS! "Yeah, I was in their room the night I slept in there and Remus hit his head so it was just me and Sirius in the room and he started hitting on me and I told him to give it up and he asked me if I fancied someone else and the bloke is a bloody good guesser!" I said all in one breath and heaved a little at the end.
Everyone looked at me with wide eyes. "So, do you like Remus?" Natalie asked.
"Yeah, here for two days and THIS has to happen!" I said and flopped back on my bed in frustration covering my head with a pillow while groaning.
"Love is a wonderful thing Jayde" Natalie said encouragingly.
"Well, who do you fancy Natalie?" I questioned.
I was now sitting up straight again with my bed messed up from my recent outburst. Lily, Lori and I looked at her eagerly. "Promise you won't laugh?" she questioned.
"Promise" Lily said.
"Si-mph-ss" Natalie mumbled.
"Who?" I asked, completely confused by her muttered confession.
"Sirius" she said and put her hands up to cover her face and obvious salmon pink blush that was becoming her trademark.
"I knew it. You always blush when you look at him!" I exclaimed.
"Well, who do you like Lily?" Natalie asked the red-head next to her who became flustered at this question.
"I-I sort of fancy James but he's too much of an arrogant prat to date!" Lily confessed.
"Hey! That's my brother! But I agree with you. He is really sweet though once you see inside him. And he really likes you Lily!" I expressed my encouragement while Lily turned a light crimson.
"You left Lori! And please, don't let it be Peter!" Lily said to the brunette sitting on the other side of her who was listening eagerly to the conversation and was now dumbstruck by the sudden interrogation.
"It's NOT Peter! Um, do you know that sixth-year Ravenclaw Kevin Corner? He is pretty cute" Lori admitted.
All of us looked at each other and dissolved into a fit of giggles. Now that we had all admitted to our romantic hopes we could all act normal around each other. "Hey I'm going to go back down to talk to Remus because someone dragged me away cough, cough Lori and Natalie!" I said through my laughter and climbed down the stairs to meet my… crush.
Luckily almost everyone had cleared out by then and the only people down there was a couple of giggling third year girls over in the squishy arm chair that I had poured out my feelings to Remus in a couple of nights ago and Remus who was still sitting in the same spot staring into the amber coals of the fire as if he was entranced by their glow. I slowly made my way over to Remus and sat down next to him.
"So, how was 'Girl Talk" he asked me smiling slightly just so his dimples showed a little.
"Horrid, so giggle-y and we almost had a clichéd pillow fight!" I said expressing my disgust through a screwed up facial expression which included wrinkling my nose and furrowing my eyebrows.
"Like this?" Moony asked and hurled a soft, red pillow at me that was sitting so conveniently on his left.
"Hey! No fair!" I yelled while grabbing another red pillow from the small armchair to my left to continue our duel.
We fought with our pillows vigorously until the preppy third years were back in their dorm. We picked that time to call it a draw and collapse back on the couch. "Well, that was fun" I said.
"Not nearly as fun as this!" he exclaimed and started tickling my rib cage.
His long fingers wrapped around my sides as I laughed and begged for him to stop. "Moony! Stop! Remmy!" I yelled in between giggles.
"Hey Moony Lupin, hands OFF the sister and back away slowly" James said while making his way down the stairs.
Remus let go of me and asked "Why must I stop tickling your giggly twin sister?"
"Because you, my friend and fellow Marauder, you are coming up into the dorm to play Spin the Bottle" James announced.
"Depends, who's playing?" Remus asked.
"Me, Sirius, Peter, Lily, Lori, Natalie and you!" James informed Moony.
"What about me?" I questioned.
"You're my sister"
"Who is a fellow marauder and should be treated as such!"
"Fine!"
Remus finally spoke up "Alright, I'll play too" and we all trekked up to the messy boy's dorm to see Lily, Lori, Natalie, Peter and Sirius sitting in a circle with an empty firewhiskey bottle laying lazily between them. "Alright Jayde is here! I hope I get her!" Sirius exclaimed.
He was obviously loaded drunk so that explained the empty bottle that was once full of a warm, bubbly liquid that was now sitting in the pit of Sirius' stomach. I looked at Natalie with sympathy and she just nodded me off, "Well, sit down!" James said as me and Remus just stood there.
We were obviously contemplating weather or not to join but my decision was made once I saw Lily playing. If she was playing it wouldn't be too bad. I slowly sat down in between Lori and Lily and Remus sat between James and Sirius. We were directly across from each other. How clichéd…
First up was James, he spun and it landed on Lori. "Hello love" he said and reached over to plant one on her. After a few seconds they broke and I thought I heard Lori mutter "never again" while Lily gave her a slight death stare.
Then James handed the bottle to Lori and she spun Peter. Lori lightly shivered and pecked him on the cheek. I don't think anyone wanted Peter which was kind of sad. He was probably the only one here besides me who hasn't kissed anyone. Peter grabbed the bottle and spun… me…. Great... I didn't want to hurt his feeling but I didn't want him to be my first kiss either. Luckily he just leaned over and kissed me on the cheek. Thank god. Oh wait, it's my turn! Crap! I will have my first kiss now. I reached for the bottle and spun it shakily. It swirled wobbly as I chanted in my head "Remus, Remus, please be Remus!"
The bottle froze instantly and I looked up to where the tip of the bottle was pointing. There looking straight at me was the guy I wanted most, Remus "Moony" Lupin. Remus stared at me in disbelief and I was sure I did the same. It seemed the whole world slowed down in the moments preceding the kiss. I slowly crawled over to him across the circle. My face was inches away from him as I closed the gap and pressed my lips to his. Like some kind of mushy movie fireworks shot off in my head and it seemed like the whole world had disappeared. His lips were soft and passionate until I was brought back to reality when we broke. I stared into his eyes for a while and returned to my spot. Lily, Lori, Natalie and Sirius all had a giant smirk plastered on their faces as they looked at me and Remus blushing out of control. Then I realized he had to spin now. HE WOULD HAVE TO KISS SOMEONE ELSE! Instantly my feelings of jealousy filled my head and anger boiled inside me. I'll have to grin and bear it I told myself. He grabbed the bottle and spun it perfectly. It went around a good 5 times before landing on Lily. Then James stood up and yelled "Lily is MINE! You can't kiss her!"
"Alright mate, I'm, uh, going to head out to the bathroom Prefects. I mean Prefects bathroomfor a-a-a,for a shower"Remusstutteredthrough his nervous stateand left for the huge bathroom that was for the use of the best behaved students.
"I'm going down to the common room" I announced and went to leave when I heard "I'm going with you!"
It was Sirius, still grinning like the Cheshire cat. "Fine then" I said impatiently and climbed down the stairs and onto the couch where Sirius joined me mere seconds later.
"How was it?" Sirius asked.
"How was what?" I answered with a question
I knew what he was talking about but I wanted to play around with him a bit. "Your kiss with Moony of course!" Sirius exclaimed smiling excitedly.
"Keep it down! It was… okay" I said.
"Okay?"
"It was absolutely amazing Sirius! Are you stun or what! Of course it was great!" I finished smiling.
Sirius' worried expression softened and he started smiling again too. "What do you see in Remus that you don't see in me?" Sirius asked.
"Sirius, you're like a brother to me already. You're really nice and sweet but I just don't like you in that way. Remus is more…more…Remus" I explained poorly.
I couldn't explain my feelings for Remus, they were just there! Sirius was nice and sweet and caring too but something wasn't there when I was with him. With Remus my stomach fluttered, my head compressed and I felt like I weighed nothing!
"So I'm not Remus-y enough for you" Sirius questioned with a confused expression on his face.
"Sirius I just can't explain my feelings for Moony. I still think you're amazing and all but…" I trailed off.
"It's alright Jayde. I can't have every girl fancy me. And Jayde?"
"What?"
Sirius leaned in really close to whisper in my ear. He admitted in his drunken state
"Moony fancies you too"
