A/N: Hello! I am so sorry for not updating sooner! But I've been busy busy, I just started "College" (mind you I'm just soon-to-be-sixteen, Icelandic school system is weird).
And I've just added to my schedule two classes that are "Too advanced for me", because I was offered them, it's a long boring story that doesn't matter ANYWAY, what matters in this story I'm telling you is that I can't update as much as I used to. I mean I know how boring it is to wait for a story that's updated once a month. So I'll try to do it two or even three times a month, but you have to forgive me if I don't. Right, I've almost got three hundred reviews and I got sixteen reviews for last chapter (oh my god) you guys are wonderful!
UPDATE: So my darlings I have bad news to bring upon you: My computer had to be wiped, all of the stuff that was on it is gone. Hunting for Happiness is gone. Thankfully I have it all online, but I'm too tired to copy and paste it all in the computer. My chapter plan is gone (no way to get that back) *Sadface* the chapters I hadn't completed are gone, ideas for up coming stories all of it is gone D: But then I'll just start form scratch...
Chapter 35
Marlene McKinnon & Remus Lupin
Marlene McKinnon
Saturday was okay, or so I think at least. I stayed inside my room the whole day.
Sunday was spent the same way, but with some more whining from the girls (as usually).
Monday was utterly horrible.
Walking to classes with the girls,-Thanking Godric DADA isn't taught on Mondays,-ignoring looks from other students and ignoring being ignored and non-looks from ... Sirius.
But when I enter Defense against the Dark Arts class on Tuesday I realize Monday has been like a vacation.
I spot my seat next to his and tell Professor Aldrin to jump up his ass - inside my head of course.
Why did he have to make us "all term" partners?
I set my books on the table, earning sympathy looks from the girls and ironical laughter from some Ravencows.
I scoot as far as I can on the chair so I'm almost not sitting on it, carefully making sure none of my books touch his table, wondering when he's going to get here - maybe he wont, maybe he's skipping.
But he isn't.
One minute before he would be officially late, he comes walking into the classroom, his hand running through his hair as he looks around.
I ignore the longing looks on some girl-faces, now that he's all single and all that again, they've all lost it.
He seems to stop in his steps when he notices me, and I quickly look away, scooting further on my chair.
He mutters something, that I'm pretty sure I hear correctly but I ignore it, before he sits down in the seat beside me.
Professor Aldrin thankfully decides to have this lesson a book lesson, which usually I would want to strangle him for, but now I'm glad, then I don't need to stand and continuously block out spells as Sirius tries to shoot me into a wall, not that he wouldn't love that.
My head jumps up when there is a note appearing on my table, forcing me away from the worried thoughts.
Loan me a quill please McKinnon? You look amazing today by the way. - Gilderoy Lockhart.
I know Mary's ex-boyfriend Gilderoy is sitting behind me and I snicker.
I turn around and let a quill fall on his table, he gives me a smile and mouths a 'thank you'.
I shake with laughter as I turn around again.
"Whore."
This time it's harder to ignore Sirius' low mutter, but I still do, keeping my eyes fixed on the chalkboard the rest of class.
- Hunting for Happiness -
"It's horrible." I tell Alice as we walk over to Charms.
She sighs. "Has he said anything to you?"
I hesitate before I shake my head. "Not really,"
As the last word leaves my mouth the devil shows up in front of us and we walk straight past him, both ignoring him and avoiding his eyes.
"Whore."
I can easily ignore it,and keep walking, but Alice stops, spins around and stares at Sirius.
I keep walking, hoping that she'll just let it go "Come on Alice."
"Five points from Gryffindor." she sneers out.
I all but glare at her when we're in safe distance from Sirius "Really? Take five points away from your own house-"
"Lene, did you not hear what he said!"
"I did. But let's just ignore it, not let him have the satisfaction of knowing it gets to me-us."
I'll get back at him someway.
Alice looks at me, shaking her head but says nothing, just sighs as we enter the Charms classroom.
I walk over with Alice towards her desk, as we wait for the lesson to start.
Next to my desk is my usual Charms partner, Hannah something from Ravenclaw but she's too boring to sit with so I like to wait with the girls until Flitwick gets here and when walking with Alice to classes, and with her being all prefect perfect, I tend to get early to class.
"I hate Tuesdays," I sigh. "Too many lesson with Ravenclaws"
Alice rolls her eyes and opens her mouth, but quickly closes it again as her whole body stiffens.
"What?" I ask, my eyebrows furring.
"Nothing-" she starts, but I turn around to look at what she was staring at.
My eyes narrow.
On my desk? He's making out with a slut on my desk?
I refuse to believe that it's hurt I feel; it's only anger. And a lot of it.
"Would you mind?" I spit out in venom as I walk towards them, ignoring Alice that tries to stop me.
Sirius looks at me and parts his mouth away from Hannah. "Hmm?"
"My desk." I motion towards the desk he has her sitting on.
"Right." he releases his hands form the girl and she slides of the desk and then he's walking away from us.
I turn around to spit something at him, but get cut off before I can.
"Miss McKinnon please sit down," Professor Flitwick says in his normally squeaky voice.
My eyes narrow again as I stalk towards my seat and slam my books on the table.
"Slut," Hannah giggles out in a whisper, pulling her books open.
"I'm not the one making out with someone on a random desk." I sneer back.
"You would if you could."
"What is with you Ravencows!" I whisper out furiously. "You're all whores!"
"You're the one that shagged Adam Smethley while dating Sirius Black, McKinnon."
Oh so everyone knows that now? It isn't even true! I did NOT shag him!
"Don't believe everything you hear, though, you've been known to like using your hands and mouth more than ears and brain-"
"I am not!" the girl screamed, forgetting to whisper.
"Miss Prather, why are you screaming?" Professor Flitwick shook his head towards our desks.
The girl pursued her lips. "Nothing Sir."
I couldn't suppress my giggles.
She was probably right though, she wasn't known as a slut in Hogwarts - at least when you had Rebecca and Veronica running around - usually Hannah was a nice quiet boring girl, but now she was just another Sirius Black victim like the rest of us.. used and then thrown away.
- Hunting For Happiness -
Remus Lupin
It's like never ending drama that runs in our group,
The Marlene-Sirius breakup has left everyone dramatic and down.
And like that isn't enough, then I have my own relationship drama.
But Blaire refuses to talk to me, so I can't try to fix it, she can't even speak a single word to me!
And now I'm just fucking tired of it all.
Sirius is being amazingly annoying. It's like he's trying to do is best to annoy everyone, just so he can hurt Marlene.
Not James, Peter or I have spoken a single word to Marlene or has she to us.
To be honest, we're back to the split groups.
Girls vs. Boys.
I sigh and stand up from my bed, I feel like nudging James that seems to have fallen asleep over his homework.
I want to ask him to come with me to talk to Marlene, Alice, Lily or even Mary, I really feel like we need to talk to them to understand the details Sirius wont tell us, there must be more to the story, heck I'd even talk to Emmeline right now, but I know that going behind Sirius' back will bring up more drama and then I have another problem, an even bigger problem:
Blaire.
- Hunting for Happiness -
Maybe it's good luck, maybe is fate, maybe its bad luck.
Whether it means something or not, it doesn't take me long to find Blaire and for some reason she sits alone, in a couch in the Common Room.
I walk over to her, keeping my head high and promising myself I wont let her run away from me this time.
I sit down, not bothering to ask for her approval of it and she looks up.
"Hey," she says, with a small smile.
I don't smile back but nod my head. "Hey."
"How you been?" she asks, closing the book she'd been reading.
"Fine." I answer, leaning back and sighing. "We need to talk."
"You keep saying that," She says, biting her lower lip.
"And you keep dodging it."
She sighs again, "I'm sorry Remus."
"Sorry about what?"
"Not talking to you.. I just.. I've got a lot going on, I mean after the Hogsmeade fiasco and all-"
"What 'all'? What happened that I don't know about? You were fine! Fine after you woke up! Mary saved you and you were fine!"
It's amazing how little it takes for me to wind up.
She sighs. "It's complicated. There is some stuff-"
"Stuff?" I mock, half laughing. "What kind of 'stuff'?"
"Stuff that is not for anyone else to know."
My eyes narrow. "And why does said 'stuff' change how you act around me then? Does.. does it have anything to do with me?" suddenly I'm nervous.
What if she knows? What if she knows that.. that I'm a werewolf..
"Remus, I'm not discussing this-"
I stand up, not caring that there are other people around. "Stop lying to me!"
"I'm not lying!" she says, also getting to her feet and staring up at me.
"You're not telling the truth either!"
"Remus just let it go-" she reaches out for my hand but I shake it away.
I'm angry, and I'm never angry. But there is something about her that can make me go crazy with anger.
"I'm tired of this!" I almost scream up, my hands flying in the air.
"Tired of what!" she asks, shaking her head and her voice also building with the tension and anger.
"You lying to me! Or not telling me stuff!"
"Let. it. go!" She yells, her eyes meeting mine.
"I'm done here," I shake my head and turn around, I don't even want to look at her.
She grabs my hand again as to keep me from leaving.
It's ironic, now it's me running away not her.
"Done with what?"
"I have no ruddy idea." I answer in a half sigh before I shake my hand loose and head for the portrait.
She doesn't follow after me.
A/N: I have a writersblock so big! So I'm sorry if its awfully sucky, angsty drama anger all that shit hates me atm :P
