Chapter 9
Hermione,
I'm so excited for you and Ron. What was Harry's reaction when you told him about the engagement? Relief right? You two have been bound to get together and tie the knot; it was just a matter of time, what with all the bickering ya'll do. Everything's fine here, working out just as we planned if not better. Sometimes I can't believe what I'm doing it's awesome.
Sirius teaching, that's something. Sometimes it's hard to take him serious with him being who he is. The first few days where sort of hard for him because most of the kids where scared of him, but his natural charm and charisma won out in the end. Now it is some people's favorite subject, but of course you know my favorite subject. Well smooches for now. Give my love to Harry and Ron.
Love,
Ginny
Ginny made her way up the stairway to the owlery; it was such a lovely day outside, maybe a stroll beside the lake after she finished posting her letter. The rest of the day would be great. Her thoughts of a great day was shattered however when she entered the owlery, Sarah stood by a grey owl, just finishing tying her letter to the owk, she looked up and smirked at Ginny.
"Well, if it isn't Miss Weasly who was late for class today. Why were you late? Off with a boy… or two, or maybe a girl? Hmmm. Ohh yeah, definitely a girl. Now that I think about it I haven't really seen you with a guy in awhile. Are you missing Harry?"
Ginny tried so hard to keep her outburst in but it didn't work. "For one it's none of your business why I was late for class. I can do what I want, when I want without your say so. Second, even if I was with a guy I wouldn't tell you, cause you would probably be on him like white on rice. Can't resist a challenge can you. Well let me tell you something I don't need every guy in school sleeping with me just to know that I am beautiful because I know without telling. You on the other hand are a skank and a hoe and you stand in no position to judge me. Third I don't care who you have or have not seen me with, again because it's none of your business. Lastly, you know nothing of my relationship with Harry and never will, and if you think you know anything about me think again."
Steaming, Ginny let the owl fly and stormed out of the owlery. She was partially mad at herself, she really shouldn't have went off like that. She could tell she was really going to regret this sooner or later but just then it had felt great telling Sarah just what she thought. Maybe that walk by the lake would sooth her. Slowly, trying to calm herself she walked toward Crystal and Beathany to invite them to walk. As she came closer she could tell that something was wrong. Crystal was holding Beathany trying to comfort her the best she could. Ginny felt the tension in her body grow as she approached the two girls. "What's wrong?" Ginny quietly asked Crystal.
"Yesterday she thought she saw Ryan with Sarah, but she wasn't sure. Anyway earlier this morning Ryan was suppose to meet up with Beathany in the library. Well he didn't show. So being already suspicious she went searching for him. Guess where she found him… in the Astronomy Tower kissing Sarah."
Ginny felt her anger towards Sarah growing by the minute. "I just saw her in the owlery, she seemed so calm. No wonder she was so cocky. She is probably laughing her head off thinking how smart she is and how wonderful it is that she can ruin everybody's life."
Beathany stopped crying long enough to look up at Ginny in loss and frustration. Ryan and Beathany had been dating since first year, it was amazing that she wasn't spitting mad at this point, but Ginny figured that would come later, after the shock wore off. Ginny walked over and hugged Beathany, trying to let her know that everything would get better in time. Telling her without words that she was there for her.
A couple of hours later, Ginny walked tiredly down the stairs from Beathany's dormitory. It had taken a while, but her and Crystal had finally gotten her calmed down enough and she went to sleep. Then Ginny had to work to cool down Crystal's temper even though hers was right closet to the edge. Needless to say today wasn't her best day and it wasn't getting any better. What she needed was a little bi of some alone time with Remus. He always made things better; so after a long dinner that seemed to take forever Ginny made her way to Remus's office for her detention. That was probably the only thing that kept her sane through the day, knowing she was going to see him tonight. The door to Lupin's classroom door was open slightly, figuring it as an invitation to walk in, feeling herself getting into a better mood already. Opening the door with a smile on her face she stopped dead as her eyes soaked in the scene that was unfolding before her. Sarah was standing in front of Remus's desk, wearing the skimpiest suit possible, kissing Ginny's man, while he had his hand up her skirt. Ginny felt all the aggression and anger of the day boil over. "Remus Lupin, you vile, pigheaded, knave." Ginny shouted before slamming the door shut . Remus let go of Sarah trying to catch Ginny before she left. Running out into the corridor Remus searched around for Ginny but she was gone. Returning back to his office, pissed and aggravated he took it out on the person who started it all.
"Miss Bonshire, I am reporting you to the headmaster immediately for the use of improper and inappropriate magic and behavior on a professor. Also for harassment and improper dress. You will be expelled and I wish to never see your face again. Now get the hell out of my office before I decide to take matters into my own hands and with the way I feel right now you are lucky that expulsion is all that is going to happen with you. Now out." Lupin said all of this in a calm, silent voice, barley concealing the suppressed rage inside of him. He watched as Miss Boneshire shrank back from him and then raced from the classroom. A lust potion, Lupin figured, a weak lust potion but one all in the same. It had probably been slipped into his drink at supper somehow. Remus walked over to his desk and sat down heavily in his chair. Burying his face in his hands he sat there wondering how in the world he was going to ever convince Ginny of that and of how he felt for her. Because he knew now that he truly and honestly loved her. It had been his love for Ginny that had broken the weak hold of the lust potion from it grasp on his senses. Feeling the weight of the world suddenly falling on his shoulders Lupin decided that this would be the perfect time to pull out that bottle of fire whiskey he kept just for times like these. Maybe he would call Sirius down and they could drink together. Just like in the good old days when life had been young. Deciding against it, his sorrows where his own Lupin then commenced to indulge in the intoxicating drink in front of him. The last thing he noted before drifting off into a drunken stupor was that tomorrow he would have an appointment with Dumbledore.
Author's Note
Well I finally did it. The reason it took so long is that I had previously typed this chapter on my sisters computer, then her battery charger to her computer stops working for her and she decided to use all of the power without telling me so my first typing of this is still trapped in her computer. Also college is a killer. Anyone who can find time to do there studies, socialize , sleep and write has to be drinking some kind of caffeine. So please read and review and enjoy.
