"That was a fun game," Elizabeth smirked at the boys the next morning during breakfast. "So what should we have you do first?" She giggled.
"Ah," Remus frowned. "You were serious about making us your slaves?"
"She's not Sirius, I am," Joked Sirius.
Peter snorted at Sirius' joke.
"That's so not funny," James said.
"Yes, I was serious," Elizabeth smiled. "And DON'T Say it," She pointed at Sirius.
Sirius slumped in defeat.
"For the record I still think it's funny," He smiled.
"You and Peter," James snorted. "Yep that means it's really lame."
"Remus thinks that it's funny too," Sirius said. "Right Rem?"
"No Sirius," He sighed. "It is a pretty lame pun."
"Stop this," Elizabeth said. "It's more annoying than the pun."
The Marauders looked at one another and back at Elizabeth, and they all started laughing. Elizabeth joined in, not because anything was funny, but because laughter reminded her of home. She felt less home sick hearing the laughter. Suddenly she realized why. James and her brother James had the same laugh, and Teddy had inherited Remus' laugh. She suddenly felt a pang in her chest. Tears formed in her eyes.
"I'm going to go to the library," She said suddenly and ran off in the direction of the library.
"Don't be late for class," They yelled after her.
"Got it."
~O.o.O.o.O~
Elizabeth was sitting alone in the Transfiguration class, waiting for class to begin. Suddenly someone pulled the chair beside her out and sat in it.
"Is it okay if I sit here?" Asked Remus.
"My pleasure," She said with a forced smile.
"Are you okay? You looked like you were about to cry when you left breakfast."
"It's…. Complicated."
"I can try to understand," He smiled warmly.
"It's not that you won't understand," She sighed. "More like I'm not allowed to tell you."
"Secrets can be hard to keep," He said. "And sometimes it's better to let people know. Trust me."
"I trust you more than you think I must, but I also know more about everyone here then I should."
"What's that supposed to mean?" He asked curiously.
"I wish I could tell you," she said sadly. "You have no idea how much I wish I could change all of this. How much I wish I could let you know."
He looked at her in confusion.
"As I said," She looked straight into his warm amber eyes. "It's complicated."
~O.o.O.o.O
Dear Diary,
This is getting more and more complexicated. Yes, I used the word complexicated. It does exist and it is a word. End of story.
Anyway, Remus is such a sweet heart. Why do I have a feeling he has to do with this mission? I really don't want to drag him into these things. But I have a feeling it has to do with him. Or maybe its my hormones. Either way I have a crush on him. Yes. That makes it worse.
I have a crush on the love of my lifes, FATHER. God, who else has this ever happened to?
Teddy, sweet loving, Teddy. Teddy REMUS Lupin. Is this not insanity. I can't like Remus. He's dead. And way too old for me anyway. Wait. Dead…
Death is just the beginning. The Gryffindor password.
Remus is dead. But death is just the beginning.
Maybe that has something to do with it.
But I must be mental. After all I'm here to meet Grandma and Grandpa. Not to be in love with Remus.
God, being a thirteen year old witch is hard.
Anyway,
Whatever.
Lily (ELIZABETH) Potter (MALFOY)
~O.o.O.o.O~
Elizabeth was walking down the hallway with Robbie, talking it up about muggle music when she dropped something she didn't notice…. Her diary.
Remus who was walking behind them with Sirius picked it up.
