AN: I do not own the Marauders, Lily, any of the teachers, or anyone else who you reconize. I do however own Stephanie Shelton and co. (Co. being anyone who you are not familiar with) and will one day rule the literary world with them! Mwahahahaha! Anyway, until that day, I do not have command over anyone except perhaps for a select number of boys and of course my siblings (more my brother then sister...gotta love you anyway Rachel! haha...ps. don't be mad...)
Anywho, enough with my rambleing...ON WITH THE STORY!!!
Stephanie's POV:
The party was super fun. I ate even more pies and candies, and danced and talked late into the night with Jeff.
"Do you ever want any kids?" Jeff asked me.
"Sure." I giggled, being hyped up in sugar. "Two max. You?"
"Maybe, but two max as well."
"Names?"
"I don't know. I'd want to name any boy children and let my wife name the girls."
"I dunno either. I'm thinking Andrea for a girl and Samuel for a boy. Andi and Sam for short."
"Hmm. I think Max is nice."
"Short and sweet. Cute." I smiled. "Max Smith. That's nice."
"Yours are too."
"Oh, thanks."
"Want to dance again?"
"Sure. Why are we talking about baby names again?"
"You know, I really don't know." He shook his head. "I mean, I like you and all, but we aren't getting married."
"Yeah, I know. And I believe in absinence till marriage anyway."
"Me too."
Remus' POV:
Through the night, I danced my life away with Felicity. She wanted to, and who was I to refuse? I didn't want her to have a bad time because of me. But, in truth I spent the whole night thinking of her, (A/N: And here it is ladies and gentlemen. The moment you've all been waiting for. Drumroll please!) Stephanie Shelton, the beautiful girl from another time. There was definatly no way she would ever fall for me, I was a werewolf, a nerd, true I was a marauder, but I wasn't much of one. I wasn't brave like James and Sirius. NO, I was a coward, I was afraid to get in trouble. I was afraid to upset Dumbledore. I was afraid to ask out the one girl I really wanted. Even though he hadn't got Lily yet, at least James tried, and wasn't scared of being turned down. Though, since it's been happening since first year, I highly doubt that he even noticed when it happened anymore. But this was different, this was me. Remus John Lupin, a werewolf. There was absolutely no way Stephanie could ever fall for me. Little did I know that the situation was going to get even worse in two weeks when Stephanie began dating someone else.
Two Weeks later; Stephanie and Jeff have broken up because it was getting akward, and it turned out they were better off just friends anyway:
Stephanie's POV:
"But won't that hurt us in the long run if it turns out this doesn't work?" I asked.
"No, of course not. You like him, I like her, we're not sure if they like us back, it's perfect. This way, we can find out. It's a fool proof plan."
"But Padfoot, that's manipulitive, I don't like the sound of it."
"Aw Stephie, please?"
I sighed. "Okay, but I still don't think this is a good idea, it's going to get very akward."
"Akward wis my middle name."
"I though you said trouble was."
"Well, that too."
"And what about dangerous, or stealth, or..."
"Okay, I get your point. Can we please just start?"
"Well, alright. And if it doesn't work?"
"I'll give you one hundred galleons. But we have to do this for at least a year. Otherwise James'll kill me. Okay?"
"Fine. Shake?" I stuck out my hand.
He spit on his and stuck his out. I rolled my eyes and spit on mine before taking his hand and shaking it.
"Pleasure doing bussiiness with you Black."
"Likewise Shelton."
Then, we left the classroom and went to the common room, where we found James, Remus, and Peter waiting for us.
"Why did you say you wanted to go to the kitchens alone with the Cloak?" James asked.
Sirius blushed, "I did, and I found Stephie down there, and so I offered the cloak to help her get back up here."
"Right. Then explain why the map said that the two of you were in an empty classroom alone?"
"Because I needed to talk to her okay? Now, can we get to bed? I'm tired."
"Hold on! Why were you spying on us?" I snaped. "Do you not trust me or Sirius?"
"Stephie, calm down, I'm sure they have a reason." Sirius pleaded.
"Shut up Black!" I snaped, "or it's off!"
He went quiet quickly.
"Now, James, tell me why you were spying on us or I'll-I'll-I'll hex your hair off- permanently!"
He flushed. "Lily was worried about you, okay?"
"Oh, so that makes it okay to spy on your best mates then?" I asked.
"Well it's not like you were doing anything appropriate!" Remus said hotly.
"What? Can you repeat that for me?"
"Oh come on, we all know what Sirius does to girls in empty classrooms in the dead of the night!"
"Well, I can't argue with that, but do you really under estimate me thatmuch!?" I hissed. "If you did, I sorely missjudged you. And you too James. Come on Sirius, let's go."
I took his hand and walked over to the girl's staircase. "G'night." I leaned up and pressed a soft kiss to his lips before letting go of his hand and going up the stairs.
"Night." He yawned and winked, walking over to the boys dormitories.
James' POV:
We all watched, stunned as Stephanie kissed Sirius goodnight, and the two seperated to go up to their separate stairs.
I turned to look at Remus. It was so obvious that he liked her, and watched from a distance. He had even confessed it to me one night when Peter and Sirius had gone to stuff themselves full of food in the kitchens.
"I'm fine Prongs." He whispered shakily, his face white.
But I knew better. He really loved her. He looked the same way I felt whenever Lily kissed another guy.
"C'mon Moony, let's go up too."
We all jumped to our feet, and went up to the dormitories.
"What the hell was that Padfoot!" I yelled when we got upstairs. "What's going on between you and Stephanie?"
"Nothing much. I asked her to be my girlfriend, she said yes. That's all there is to it. Now can I get some sleep?"
"Not now." I replied quickly before Remus could. "We have to give you the talk."
Remus nodded, obviously trying not to let his anger get ahold of him. "Look, just don't treat her like all your other girls okay? I-I-I don't want her to get hurt."
"Okay, I won't."
"And you're not allowed to have sex or anything like that." I added, expecting an argument, but not getting one.
"Alright, that's fine. Not, can I please just go to bed?"
"Well, okay."
Two hours later, Sirius and Peter were sound asleep and Remus and I were talking in hushed whispers.
"It's not fair! I love her."
"I know mate, I love Lily too."
"Yeah, but eventually she's going to have to fall for you. No one could ever love me."
"That's not true, what about Felicity?"
Moony smiled sadly. "She only loved half of me. I know for a fact she dislikes werewolves and doesn't think it's possible for there to be a nice one."
"Oh. Well, you'll always have the marauders."
"That's true, though I'll have to live with the fact that one of them will get the girl of my dreams, while another is that very girl."
"Shh. Moony, stop being so pescimistic, I'm sure they'll come to their senses. I'll bet you anything Stephanie is realizin what a mistake this is."
"Maybe..."
Stephanies' POV:
While everyone else in the dorm was having long peaceful dreams, I was awake, staring at the celing. Thinking about Sirius and Remus. It didn't seem fair to me that to get Remus, I was dating one of his best friends. But if it worked, it worked. I had done this before. To get people to do things for me that I didn't wish to do, I would manipulate them. My victims were most usually boys, and I would get them to do something with the promise of a reward, usually a snog in an empty or spare classroom, but occasionally it'd be a date if they did something especially useful.
A/N: Okay, so we've got a little Stephanie Remus Sirius fake love triangle going on. Hmm. So who is it that Sirius likes? Is it Stephanie, Janet, or someone else? Hmm...We will have to find out.
Oh, and we've got a bit of Stephanies past. It would seem that she isn't quite as innocent as she seems.
Also, I'm sorry for that talk that Stephanie and Jeff had, but it was nessacary. It will be something you will want to remember for future chapters.
R&R!!!
