The Marauders are sitting in Transfiguration.
"I can't believe its all ready March" said Summer.
"I know, that means we have like three birthdays" said Alyssa.
"I know, it's crazy" agreed Rebecca.
"It's perfect; we have a Hogsmeade this month, so we can celebrate all of them at the 'Three Broom Sticks'" said Jamie.
Just then Professor McGonagall asked a question. They all stopped talking. Rebecca answered the question effortlessly. When McGonagall looked away Jamie stared at Rebecca.
"How did you know that?" She asked in a whisper.
"I pay attention in class ninety-five percent of the time" She whispered back.
Jamie just shook her head in disbelief.
At the end of class each student was assigned a partner whom they had to work on an assignment with.
Alyssa was paired with a girl named Jessica Sommers; Jamie was paired with Luke Evans; Summer with a girl named Sarah Lutz; Rebecca with Nick.
The girls were walking out of class when they were stopped by Luke.
"So, you guy's stuck to your word. I'm impressed" He said.
"Why do you sound so surprised?" asked Summer.
"Well, I just thought, that your loathing of Severin would make you brake it" He said, smug.
"You thought? Or you hoped?" asked Alyssa, narrowing her eyes at him.
"Both" He replied truthfully.
"That's what I thought" She said.
"So, why did you keep the promise?" He asked again.
"Rebecca made us" said Summer, "And Jamie, for some strange reason she agreed with Becca"
Jamie blushed red, and turned her head away from them all. Luke raised his eyebrows and glanced at Jamie.
"I always keep my promises" She said sheepishly.
"Yeah right" Summer muttered under her breath so only Jamie could hear it. Jamie elbowed her in the ribs.
"Somehow, I highly doubt that" said Luke.
"Well, see you later Jamie" He said turning to leave.
"You will?" Jamie asked, confused.
"We have to work on our project, remember?" He said.
"Oh, yeah, I forgot. Right, see you later" Jamie said.
Luke nodded and walked off.
"Well that was interesting" stated Summer.
"Definitely" agreed Alyssa.
Nick caught up with the girls a few minutes later. He wrapped his arm around Rebecca's shoulders; His hair bright orange.
"Hey babe" He said, giving her a quick kiss on the lips.
"Hi" said Rebecca brightly, "You sure are in a good mood"
"Yep. So, are you up for a date tonight" He asked.
Rebecca laughed, "Yes, of course"
"All right, see you at 8" He said removing his arm from her shoulders.
"See you then" Rebecca agreed.
"Cool" Nick said, before walking off.
0o0o0o0o
Rebecca met Nick by the Room of Requirement as always. They were both wearing blue shirts and jeans. Nick had changed his hair to his natural shade of dark brown.
He grinned when he saw her, "Nice outfit choice"
Rebecca grinned back, "You too"
Nick smiled in reply.
"Shall we?" He asked gesturing to the wall next to them. Rebecca nodded.
When they entered the room it was full of bean bags. There was a TV in one corner.
"What are we going to watch?" asked Rebecca.
"Whatever you want" said Nick.
"Really? Even some cheesy chick-flick?" She asked.
Nick winced, "Yes"
She laughed, "Don't worry; I won't put you through that kind of pain yet."
She went over to the shelf full of movies. She chose one randomly without rally looking at it and put it in the DVD player.
"This is a weird choice" Nick commented when the title came up on the screen.
"Why?" Rebecca asked, eating the popcorn she'd just got.
"It's about Werewolves" He said.
Rebecca choked on her popcorn, but pasted it off as a cough.
"Seriously?" she asked.
He raised his eyebrows, "You didn't know that?"
She shook her head.
"Just picked randomly" She confessed.
About half way through the movie, Nick suddenly started choking on his popcorn.
"Are you okay?" Rebecca asked.
He nodded, recovering.
"You know, this fits you" He said casually.
Now it was Rebecca's turn to start choking, only this time on her drink.
"What's that supposed to mean?!" She asked, trying to pass of her increasing panic off as anger.
"Well, you three are always gone on the full moon. You've always got lots of injuries and your 'family' is always getting seriously ill or dying. I'm surprised you even have family left."
Rebecca stood up, still trying to pass off her increasing panic as anger.
"I can't believe you would say something like that!" She said her voice unnaturally high.
"Don't get so upset! I was just saying!" said Nick in a calming voice. Standing up also.
"I have to go" Rebecca said suddenly.
"No, please don't!" Nick begged.
"I was just kidding!" He said, trying to keep her from leaving.
Rebecca shook her head, "No, I have to go"
Nick took her head in his hands, looking deep into her eyes. Rebecca was trying desperately to keep the panic and horror from her eyes, but with little success.
Nick gasped, letting go of her face, truth dawning in her eyes.
"You're a-" He started but stopped.
Rebecca started shaking her head, tears flowing down her cheeks.
"You're a-" He started again, but this time he was cut-off by Rebecca.
"Please don't say it" She whispered. She turned and ran out the door.
"Werewolf" Nick whispered to himself.
Okay, yes, i know Wizards aren't supposed to have TV and DvD players and all that jazz, but this is a modern-day story, so they do. Also, the same with the iPods.
