A/N: SORRY FOR THE WAIT

Chapter 14

Remus Lupin & Marlene McKinnon

Remus Lupin

There is a full moon next Thursday and that is the reason why I am nervous. Not the fact that I am going to study with the worlds most beautiful person – just study, its not a study date like Sirius says it is.. Or is it?

No. Blaire Vandever would never date someone like me.

She's just helping me out. With Herbology.

But Remus you don't need help in Herbo' says Sirius's taunting voice in my head.

Stupid Sirius.

Maybe its his fault I am nervous, it got to be his fault that my hands are shaking and my heart is throbbing in my chest as I enter the Library and spot her.

"Remus!" she says with her always-so-cheerful-voice – or at least she's always cheerful around me.

"Hi Blaire," I tell her with a smile.

"Sit down, sit down," she says and I take my seat next to her.

"Do you have your homework?" she asks and pulls up her own homework from her bag.

I nod and put mine on the table.

"Alright," she smiles. "I know you know all this deep down so we shall just work together, shall we?" she asks and for a moment her hand touches mine.

"Sound good," I force out and once again she smiles at me, the most beautiful smile there is.

- Hunting for Happiness –

"How was your date Remmie?" Sirius smirks as I sit down for Lunch. I send him a glare but can't stop the smile that then spreads over my face.

"It was not a date, she just helped me with the homework assignment."

Sirius laughed and leaned over the table to grab some bread. "Sure she was."

I shake my head at him and James laughs.

"Seriously Moony, what is going on with you two?"

"Nothing." I answer.

"Nothing?" James raises his eyebrows.

Peter looks up from his food and nudges me "Who are they talking about?"

"No one." I answer him rather darkly.

Sirius opens his mouth again to say something but I send him a glare as Mary, Marlene, Alice and Lily all sit down.

I notice that dark glares exchanged by Sirius and Marlene, the latter one sitting as far away from the first one as possible.

"Evening," Alice greets.

"Hey." We all mumble out together.

"I heard that the Head Master has some exciting news that he is going to tell everyone tonight." Alice continues cheerfully and I laugh, knowing what she's talking about. The Winter Dance.

Just as Alice stops talking Dumbledore stands from his seat and calls for silence.

"Like you all know, soon comes our Holiday break, which I am sure you are all looking forward too." Dumbledore smiles at the cheers. "I have talked with our Head Boy and Girl and the other Prefects and have they suggested a little… party just before the Holidays - a ball they like to call Winter Formal." There are some mixed reactions to that. "You will get more new about the ball when it comes closer… but if you have any questions our Prefects and Heads are ready to answer everything." He raises his glass "There shall not be more tonight… Go back to eating everyone."

"Is it just me or does Dumbledore look a bit tired?" Sirius raises his eyebrows and dugs back into his food. "But a Ball seriously?"

"I think it's a great idea." Mary nods excited and Alice sends her a thankful look.

"But there is so much... hassle that comes with Balls." James sighs. "Who are you gonna ask.. And all that.:" he looks over at Lily who starts to shake her head. "Lily will you- "

"NO!" She booms loudly, causing the second year sitting next to her to jump in her seat.

"It was worth the try.." James sighs.

- Hunting for Happiness –

It surprises me when the voice of Mary calls after me as I exit the Library later that day. "Remus!" She calls and I turn around.

"yes?" I ask and raise my eyebrow.

Mary runs towards me clutching her stomach. "Come quick!" she is able to say between heavy breathes.

"Mary? What's wrong?"

"Lene.." she gasps out and grabs my arm "and Sirius."

"What happened?" There is like there is something inside me that takes a jump at the sounds of those two names.

"She's… She's breaking it off, and it's a yelling contests." Mary says as she drags me closer and close to the Great hall.

"I am done with you" Marlene's voice comes yelling from the Great hall as we come closer.

"Done with me?" Sirius voice meets hers, just as angry and vicious.

"I'm done with whatever this is. And I am not coming back"

"To what are you leaving then?"

I push the first years out of my way as I push my way through the crowd into the great hall. Sirius and Marlene have got a rather big audience.

"Adam." She says with a challenging smirk.

Sirius's eyes narrow before he says "Okay, good. I was getting tired of you anyway."

Marlene scoffs, but can't hide the obvious pain in her eyes before she turns to her audience "Why the heck have you nothing else to do than butt into my life?" she spits out before breaking her way through the ground.

Mary tries to grab her hand but Marlene shakes her off.

"Padfoot, mate-" I hear James say somewhere and try my best to find them.

"I'm going after Lene," Mary says and pushes me towards were Sirius was standing seconds ago "Find Black."

- Hunting for Happiness –

"James!" I yell over the crowd, still slightly confused with what happened. Everything happened so fast.

"Moony-" James says behind me and I turn around. "Where is Padfoot?"

"No idea." I answer with a sigh.

"I cannot believe they did this in front of so many people!"

"What the hell happened?" The voice of Evans says behind us and we both turn around.

"Marley and Padfoot ''broke up''" James air quoates.

"What?"

"Infront of everyone here." I add

"Are the completely mental? I thougth Marlene didn't want people knowing about them." Lily shakes her head. "I'm gonna find her bye."

"That was… weird." I shake my head, this day is too twisted for my liking.

"Lets just find Sirius." James says quicky and pulls me once again through the crowds in look for Sirius.

Marlene McKinnon

"Marlene!"

I turn around as I hear my name being called out and meet my big brothers eyes. "Matt?" I ask, truthfully a bit surprised that he wants to talk to me, he usually ignores me during school, but its not like I talk to him any more that he talks to me. Usually me, him and Melanie don't say anything to each other much.

"Is it true?"

"Is what true?" I ask and tiredly put my hands on my hips.

"That you are dating Adam Smethley?"

I nod my head rather quickly "I am indeed, or I think so atleast."

"Why? I thought you and Black were something –"

"Matt." I say warningly "After what you said at the Qudditch match you have no –"

"I'm sorry," he says but he really doesn't seem to mean it.

"You embarrassed me in front of everybody!" I tell him hotly. "And now I really have to go to dinner so bye–"

"Why so early? Is the food even up yet?"

I look at the clock on the wall of the corridor. "It's five, the food is up, its good eating so early because not many people are there yet and I have homework." I wave my hand at him before turning away and walking fast away from him. This is the reason why I don't talk to my family, they are annoying.

- Hunting for Happiness –

I enter the almost empty Great Hall just to find to my annoyance that the Gryffindor table is not empty, instead of actually eating his food, Sirius Black seems more interested in eating Someone Something Hufflepuff's face.

I make a noise to clear out my disgust as I walk past them, but I don't get very far because his hand snakes around my arm and yanks me back before he pushes the (stupid and may I add rather ugly) brunette of his lap and stands up.

"What do you want?" I ask and try yanking my hand back.

"What was that?" he growls.

"What was what?"

"That noise."

I laugh, but my laughter is hallow and fake. "I was just making clear that I find this rather disgusting to do while other people try to eat, Black."

"Well, why don't you go and find your pathetic excuse of a boyfriend or whatever you call him and do this with instead of telling me not to."

"I never told you to do anything!"

"Of course not! You just made that sound, because no one can do anything without getting your permission!"

"You know that is not true –"

"You are just so god damn weak."

His voice cuts through my skin like knives and I wonder form where the hell this is coming from.

I look around and notice the Great Hall is slowly filling with students, but no Professors seems to be around.

"You know what Sirius?" I say viciously and once again try to yank my hand from his grip. "I'm bloody tired of this. Get over it. I'm dating Adam and not shagging you anymore, go and find some other girl to get it on with because I'm not free for your sick little twisted mind game! I want a relationship, which I have with Adam. Get over it." I repeated the last words viciously.

His eyes narrow before he yanks me closer to him so I'm almost pressed to his body, a little gasps crawls through my lips.

"You think I care?" he laughs, his laughter just as hallow as mine was before. "I don't care if you are fucking someone else, I just want to make sure you wont come crawling to me with those diseases that kid is going to give you."

My eyes narrow as he stops talking. "I'm done with you."

"You are done with me?" he laughs out.

""I'm done with this, whatever it is and I'm not coming back." I tell him angrily

"To what are you leaving then?" he asks, even though he of course knows the answer.

"Adam." I say with a challenge-y smirk on my face.

"Good, I was getting tired of you anyway." He says, his own smirk meeting mine.

My eyes narrow as I realize his voice actually hurt me but I shake it off as I look down at the crowd that has gathered around us. I scoff "Why the heck have you nothing else to do than butt into my life?" I spit out before breaking her way through the ground.

"Lene!" I hear Mary cry out as her hand tries to grab mine but I shake her off and run across the room and out of the doors as my tears threaten to fall from my eyes.
