[A/N: I'm doing this thing called Blog Everyday in August (BEDA) and if you'd like to follow along my random ramblings for this (and motivate me to write) definitely read it: .com It'd mean a lot to me! Anywho 10 points to NewProphecy and .Moony for guessing that, yes, it was "MY LEG!"]

The next morning I was awakened by the blanket being stolen away leaving me to freeze.

"Kaitlin, you've taken all the blanket," I complained.

"No, I haven't. You have," she hissed at me.

"You're both wrong actually."

"Look at them. Just as lazy if we were still in school."

I opened my eyes and saw Hermione, Parvati and Emily staring down at us.

"What is going on?" Kaitlin asked.

"If you two are done snuggling, I need to get you fitted for your bridesmaid gowns today and I need to get a dress and shoes and everything so, get a move on," Emily said.

"Ah, but I am not a part of your bridal party so I'll just go back to sleep," Kaitlin concluded.

"Ah, my wedding singer needs a dress," Emily said.

"Oh, come on. I'm getting married in less than three months. I need your help," she said. "And you're next Hannah. I can make your wedding stressful for you—that is assuming I'm to be a part of it."

"Everyone in this room, and also Ginny, is going to be a bridesmaid—except Hermione will obviously be my maid of honor," I said.

"Even me?" Kaitlin asked.

"Kait, we just spooned in Ginny Weasley's spare bed. We're practically sister's now," I said.

"Just be careful. Spooning leads to forking," Parvati said.

"Get dressed and get downstairs," Hermione said.

After we got dressed we went downstairs.

Hardly anyone was up. Lupin was still in bed, the boys were still in bed. Tonks sat at the table half asleep, nearly drowning in a cup of coffee. Fleur and Emily were bright eyed and bushy tailed. Hermione was there as well, somewhat tired and Parvati stood with Dana and Veronica, along with little Gabrielle.

"Why are we doing this so early?" I asked.

"Because we've got a full day of things to do," Emily said.

They led us out the house and we began our walk to the muggle village.

"Wothcer, Hannah," Tonks said, pulling back away from the group. "Are you ever going to speak to Sirius again?"

"You mean the man you threatened to stab with a large, sharp implement you pulled out of you leg last night?" I asked.

"Yeah," Tonks said.

"Draco says I should. That even though Sirius is wrong he has every right to be suspicious of him," I said.

"And isn't that exactly what Sirius told you?" Tonks asked. I nodded.

"It's just Sirius always makes things with Draco difficult when things are difficult enough on their own," I said. "Do you know how terrifying it is being in love with some who could hurt you even if they don't mean to?"

"Love is a complicated, Hannah, and because your life and Malfoy's life are conflicting in a big way it's more complicated and I'm sorry you have to go through it but-."

"We can't help who we fall in love with," I said. Tonks nodded. I sighed. "It was supposed to be easy like it was before. Draco and I were together and we were happy and we couldn't give a damn about anything else."

"It's supposed to be when you're 16," Tonks said.

"Yeah. but we've got the most screwed up lives," I said.

"They're nor screwed up. They're just very complicated," Tonks said.

"This is not complicated. Complicated is euphemism for our relationship," I said. "I don't wanna talk about this anymore. . . How are you and Lupin?"

"That's none of your concern," Tonks said.

"Going nowhere fast then," I said she rolled her eyes.

"Why are you so interested?" Tonks asked.

"Because you're like my mum and Lupin's like my dad and if you guys are into each other it'd be ideal for you to be together," I said.

"I guess so," Tonks said.

After a bit more walking we arrived at the muggle village where there were tons of little shops lining the street.

"This is where we're going," Emily said pointing to one of them.

We walked inside the shop were Tons of wedding dresses and dresses of other sorts filled the room.

There was a young girl sitting at the front desk writing something in a ledger. She looked up at us and smiled.

"Happy New Year!" she squealed. "You're the girl who sat aside the blue bridesmaids dresses correct?" Emily nodded. "I'll go and get them for you then."

Whole the rest of us got fitted into our dresses, Emily tried on wedding dresses.

We were there for hours while she and Fleur went through a ton of wedding dresses. Some were nice. . . Most of them weren't.

Finally, Emily got her dress. It covered her feet completely. It was very layered and poofy from the waist down. The top was corseted and laced in the back with white strings. The dress had a long white train.

"I think we've got a winner," Emily said.

"You look absolutely stunning in that dress," Parvati said.

"It's like it was made especially for you," I said.

"You're just saying that," Emily said.

"No, honestly it's got Emily written all over it," Kaitlin said.

"You do look beautiful dear," Dana said.

Emily smiled. "Then this one it is. What about you Fleur?"

"I think I'm going to wear my mother's wedding dress. . . I like it better than these," Fleur said.

And so Emily bought her dress and our dresses as did Fleur and we were on our way out. . . To the shoe store.

"Why today? We were up until an ungoldy hour and you're dragging us around the muggle village," I said.

"Well we won't have time to do it before March. We've only got two Hogsmeade trips coming up and one of them Valentine's day which I'm sure you won't want to spend with me," Emily said.

"Well can we at least eat. I'm dying here," Parvati said.

"Yes. We should eat," Veronica said.

"Alright. There's a little restaurant over here," Fleur said.

We all walked up the street to a small little cafe for lunch.

It was fairly small. Only 10 small tables and a counter inside.

Hermione, Emily, Parvati, Ginny, Kaitlin and I all took a seat together. Veronica and Tonks sat a small distance away from us and Emily, Gabrielle, Fleur and Dana sat together.

"I thought Professor Lupin was staying with you this Christmas?" Parvati asked.

"He is, but he was asleep when you came by," I said.

"Oh, what a shame," Parvati said.

"I can't believe you and Hannah actually used to have a crush on him," Hermione said.

"Actually, a lot of girls in our school did," Ginny said.

"Really?" Hermione asked.

"Yeah. I sat next to plenty of Mrs. Remus Lupin's in class, namely Luna," Ginny said.

"Really?" I asked. Ginny nodded.

"Professor Lupin was a great. . . Hey, does he have a girl friend?" Parvati asked.

"Uh. . . I don't think so," Hermione said.

"Yes," Parvati said.

"Parvati. He was your teacher," Ginny said.

"He's not anymore though is he?" Parvati asked. She then laughed. "I'm just joking, but yeah. Padma, Lavender and I were rather in love with him when he taught us. I was so Happy when he came that week last year in October."

". . . I'm glad you're leaving right after this is all said and done," Hermione said.

"Yeah. I think we'd all prefer it if you didn't harass Lupin," Ginny said.

*Especially since he's into Tonks anyway, no matter how much he dislikes it.*

"Yeah and I'm pretty sure he's too old for you," Kaitlin said.

"Hannah, you're the one always saying age is just a number," Parvati said.

"Well, yeah, but there's a line and when they're old enough to be your father I'd say you just about crossed it," Ginny said.

"Alright. I guess I'll just look for a guy that like Professor Lupin except closer to my age and being a werewolf is optional," Parvati said. She paused and looked thoughtfully for a moment before her expression became serious. "Do you think Professor Lupin is alone because he's a werewolf?"

Of course I knew the answer was yes. That was part of the reason he wasn't with Tonks.

"As much as I hate to admit, yes probably," Ginny said somberly. "I mean, maybe not of his own accord-."

"I think it's of his own accord," Kaitlin said. "According to my mum that's why they broke up. Because people were like shunning her for dating him or whatever. But then again my dad was also a werewolf so who knows. . .I just think maybe my mum secretly has a things for furries."

The door to the cafe opened. Then out of nowhere, Veronica and Dana gasped and ducked under their tables.

"What on earth?" Tonks asked. I looked to see who had just walked in.

It was a woman. A very large woman. She had long, straight, flat brown hair, a big bushy unibrow, very broad shoulder and she was a bit on the heavy side.

"Oh. . . My. . . Gawd," Ginny said.

"Run. . . It's Godzilla," Parvati whispered. We shushed her with a giggle. The woman was making her way to the counter but paused and looked over at us. She then began making her way toward us.

"Good going, Patil. Can't you ever be nice?" I asked.

"And you've room?" Parvati said.

The woman stopped at our table. Surprisingly she looked to me.

"You're Hannah potter aren't you?" she asked. I swallowed hard.

"That's what my birth certificate says," I said.

The woman chuckled. "You look like Lily, but obviously you've developed more into your father."

I chuckled. "Obviously you knew them. . . Mind telling me who you are?"

"Lisa?" Veronica said as she and Dana came out from under their tables.

"Oh. . ." I said.

"Who's Lisa?" Hermione asked in a whisper.

"She was my mum's roommate until fifth year. She'd had a record that put the Weasley twins, Sirius, my dad and me to shame. My mum got her expelled. . . She was the bully that bullied the bullies."

"Oh," Ginny said.

"Veronica. . . Dana. . . Is that you?" Lisa asked.

"Yeah," Dana said reluctantly.

Lisa glared at them. "Let me guess how your lives turned out. . . Graduated from Hogwarts with top marks, with your best friends. Got married, popped a kid or two, and you got everything you wanted right?"

"Not true. My boy friend got thrown into Azkaban for a crime he didn't commit for 12 years," Veronica said.

"It's true. I was there," Dana said.

"Once a smartass always a-." Lisa stopped and turned to the door. It opened. Bringing in the snow and cold air was Lupin.

"Remus!" she said. Lupin looked up. His eyes widened in horror.

"Oh, no. . . My nightmares have manifested themselves into flesh," he said.

"I thought you might forget your favorite ex-girl friend," Lisa said.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You used to date her?" Tonks asked in disbelief.

". . . I was 15," he said tiredly.

Tonks glanced at Lisa and then looked back to Lupin.

"Well I'm glad to see your taste has improved," Tonks said.

"You would think so," he said.

"This your new girl friend, Remus?" Lisa asked.

Tonks scoffed. "He wishes."

"What are you doing here?" Lupin asked.

"I live in the muggle village. You live near here?" Lisa asked.

"Thank God, no," he said.

"You don't like me anymore do you, Remus?" Lisa asked.

"I actually stopped liking you when you started stalking me," Lupin said.

"She stalked you?" Tonks asked.

"Could you stop talking, Nymphadora?" Lupin asked.

"Tonks," she said angrily.

"Right now I don't really care," Lupin said.

"You had a stalker. That is priceless," Tonks said.

"Are you sure this isn't your girl friend?" Lisa asked.

"Positive. He' just my roommate," Tonks said. "My annoying, annoying, roommate."

"Likewise," Lupin said, annoyed. They both glared at each other for a moment.

"Well, what are you doing her, Remus?" Lisa asked.

"I was buying some tea for a friend," Lupin said creeping toward the counter.

"Really, me too," Lisa said. "Imagine that."

"You know what. . . I think I'm going to buy Molly's tea somewhere else. . . I'll see you guys later. . ." Lupin said.

Lupin walked out of the cafe and Lisa smirked.

*No wonder Mom talked so badly about her.*

"Lisa, you got kicked out of Hogwarts ages of ago and now you're here, harassing Remus, which is what got you kicked out in the first place. Please, leave him alone," Dana said. Lisa smiled.

"I was only playing when I cursed Lily," Lisa said.

"Really? You seemed rather bitter and spiteful about it. Remus liked Lily. He didn't like you. So you cursed Lily, who liked Remus, out of spite," Veronica said. "You were always jealous of Lily anyway. Remus was just one more thing she had that you didn't."

Lisa glared at her and whipped out her wand. Tonks jumped to her feet.

"Put the wand down now," she said. "You do that and you'll land yourself a week in Azkaban. You know it's against the law to draw your wand on someone unless they actually mean to harm you."

"Someone knows our laws pretty well," Lisa said.

"I'm an auror. It's my job. Now remove yourself from the premises or I'll have to escort you to the Ministry of Magic," Tonks said.

Lisa looked Tonks over for a moment. "You're going to take me to the ministry?"

"I've handled much bigger and much uglier," Tonks said.

"Wow, the first understatement of the new year," I said.

"Quiet, Hannah," Tonks said. "I'm going to tell you one more time, to leave."

Lisa looked to Veronica and Dana one last time and then left.

Tonks sighed and sat down.

"Why are all your old classmates either death eaters or completely insane?" she asked.

"That's just the way they turned out. But on the bright side, we always had Frank and Alice, the bright side of to the kids in our year," Veronica said.
