Chapter 9

As I dragged Melissa into the prefect girls bathroom. I was going to figure out where she had been and get details out of her before I told her mine.

"Okay Melissa, where were you with Remus?"

"He took me through this underground passage to the Shrieking Shack and we stayed there for an hour or two."

"What did you do?"

"First we searched for you and James. Then spent the rest of the time talking. At the end we confessed our feelings to each other. Then he grabbed my shoulders and we spent the rest of the time passionately kissing. When we realized it was getting late so we thought that you two would most likely have already came back. Where did you disappear to with James?"

"Ooh! Yeah! This is wonderful!"

"What's wonderful and WHRER HAVE YOU BEEN WITH JAMES?"

"Just what James and I had planned to happen."

"What do you mean and WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN WITH JAMES?"

"James and I agreed to set you two up because I knew that you liked Remus and James knew that Remus liked you. So, we decided to set you two up so it would be easier for me and James to admit our secret." I told her blushing.

"What secret?"

"The secret James and I have had since Valentine's Day. Well I don't think that he kept the secret from Remus and Sirius because they seemed to know. I know this because when I received the box of chocolate cauldrons and letter, the letter was written by Remus for James but James signed it. I know that Sirius knew because I don't think that James ever keeps any secrets that are like ours, his and mine, from him."

"Oh. That makes since because Remus said that he was positive you two had gone somewhere private."

"Well……the other side of the lake isn't exactly the most private place but I guess it could be in the shade of the Forbidden Forest."

"So that's where you went!"

"Yeah. We were talking about how he had a plan to get me to like him and he said that he hoped that I would fall in love with him, but that was in the library. I dragged him out so you two could be alone and we ran into Sirius he started to say something but I shushed him and took James to the far side of the lake.

"There I was about to ask him to what we were talking about when he asked me. I told that he stole the words out of my mouth and that I thought we were talking about his plan to get me to like him. He said that he thought he had told me that he said that he hoped that I would fall in love with him.

"Then I stepper closer and his breath became heavy and I told him that he didn't have to hope anymore as I put my arms around his neck. He asked me what I meant and I told him that I loved him and I lightly brushed my lips against his. His reaction was to grab my waist and pull me to him and kiss me, deepening it after every time we stopped for breath. Then we stopped and noticed that that sun had started to sink, so we went back to the common room to find you two missing and Sirius waiting for one of the two couples to return. Then you to entered and you know the rest."

"Yeah but what was the first secret?"

"James took me to the same place that Remus took you and he teased me. Then I was crying in his shoulder and then we were kissing."

"Did James tell you the history behind the name 'Shrieking Shack'?"

"Yes, he did. Did Remus tell you?"

"Yes."

"Let's go wait for our men to return." I said as I walked back with her to the common room.
