Chapter 9: A Dangerous Kind of Love
On the first day of the summer holidays, Sirius came home and found that Remus' house was totally dark and quiet. "Remus? Remus, are you home?" He called.
No response.
Sirius lighted all the candles in the house by a simple spell and looked around the house. He went to the kitchen and found a neat stack of papers struck on their message board on their Muggle refrigerator:
Padfoot,
Went to Alexandra's for the holidays.
See you after the holidays.
Moony
Sirius frowned. "Not again!" But then he grinned. "But now I can have the whole house to myself!" He tore off the piece pf paper and read the second note underneath:
Don't you dare to mess up the house while I am away.
Moony
"Yeah right, as if I will listen to you." Sirius snorted and tore off the second paper. He read the third note:
If you don't listen to me, I will hex you.
Moony
"Oh yeah, like what?" Sirius said, tore off the third paper and read the fourth:
Like giving you a nice, blue skin and long donkey ears.
Moony
"Oh yeah? Well, I will change myself into a dog in the mean time." Sirius said, tearing off the fourth:
And I will make sure that you can't change yourself into a dog after I have hexed you.
Moony
Sirius raised his eyebrow "You can't be serious." He mumbled and tore off the fifth:
I am serious. You make a mess of the house and I will hex you.
Moony
"Fine." Sirius said in defeat. "But don't you get tired after signing your name for so many times?" He muttered and tore off the sixth:
No.
Moony

"Alexandra! Alexandra, over here!" A voice called and Alexandra turned around. She was standing on a small green hill with yellow flowers dotting it. The wind was blowing her hair gently and she was wearing a simple white dress.
"Remus!" Alexandra cried happily.
"Over here! Come here!" Remus called. He was wearing a white shirt and black pants and he was smiling.
"All right!" Alexandra said and when she was about to reach him, Remus looked behind himself and his eyes widened with fear.
He looked at her in panic and cried sharply: "No, Alexandra! Don't come any nearer, I beg you!"
Alexandra stopped dead in her tracks.
BANG
Alexandra gasped in horror and watched as Remus fell into her arms. He stared at her lovingly and painfully, coughed a mouthful of blood on her dress and was dead instantly. She examined his back and found a bullet had gone through his body. She felt that someone was watching, looked up slowly and found Tim, with a gun in his hand. He stared at her coldly and raised his gun, aiming her chest.
BANG
****
"Aaahhhh!!!!" Alexandra screamed and sat up on her bed.
Remus' eyes snapped open to her scream and he too, sat up quickly on the bed. "Alexandra, Alexandra! Are you all right?" He asked in concern.
Alexandra turned her head sharply at his voice, her eyes widened, as if she had just noticed Remus' existence, then she hugged him as tightly as she could. "You are alive, oh thank goodness, you are alive...." She wept.
"I'm alive? Wait a minute, what are you talking about?" Remus asked in confusion.
For a while, Alexandra didn't respond. She held him tightly, pressed her ear against his firm, smooth chest and listened silently to his steady heartbeat.
"Alex? Alex, tell me what's wrong?" Remus asked softly as he stroked her dark hair.
"I had a dream." Alexandra said slowly without lifting her head. "About you. You are killed by my classmate, then he is going to kill me, and that's when I woke up."
"Your classmate? Who? Paris?" Remus asked.
"No, a boy. He is a Slytherin-type of person and h-he likes me. A lot." Alexandra said and she told Remus everything about Tim and his threat.
Remus smiled a little when she had finished. "Alexandra darling, I think you have forgotten who I really am."
Alexandra released Remus and looked up.
Remus lowered his head and whispered into Alexandra's ear: "I'm a wizard. I will hex him, if he tries to do anything to me."
"But then he will give your identity away." Alexandra said worriedly.
"Don't you remember? There are obliviators in my world. And their job is to erase Muggles' memories." Remus straightened himself and grinned. "So don't worry, I am going to be all right."
Alexandra sighed. "I hope so."
Without a word, Remus put his arms around Alexandra's body and kissed her forehead. They both lay down and Remus watched tenderly as Alexandra went back to sleep in his arms.
***
The next day, Remus and Alexandra went shopping again at the mall. (Since they didn't get to shop much last time because Remus wanted to leave and after that, Alexandra didn't have the mood to shop)
"You looked pretty in pink." Alexandra said after she put a pink, wide- brimmed hat playfully on Remus' head.
"Oh? Do I?" Remus said in a high-pitch tone of voice that made him to sound very much like a lady. He twirled around and made a pose. "Yes, darling, I think I do." He said, battling his eyelashes. "Now, young lady, what are you laughing at?" He demanded in fake anger when he saw Alexandra laughing as hard as she could. "I don't know why you are laughing, I'm most beautiful man in the world and there's no deny about that." He said in his normal voice, admiring himself in mirror and patted his hair lovingly. Alexandra laughed harder and the salesgirl began to laugh as well. "Sheesh, I am beginning to sound like Gilderoy Lockhart." Remus said, took off the pink hat and gave it to the salesgirl, who giggled and put the hat back to its place.
"By the way, what happened to Lockhart anyway?" Alexandra asked after she stopped laughing.
"When I asked Snape, he said: that idiot has gone to Sahara Desert to find his tiny brain." Remus said, smiling.
Alexandra looked as if she was going to laugh again. She controlled herself, coughed and said: "Let's go."
***
"Maybe I should buy this lighter for Sirius." Remus said, examining a sliver lighter in a gift shop.
"Why?" Alexandra asked, looking at a vase.
"Sometimes he comes home late, without even bothers himself to light up the house and just goes to any of the rooms in the house."
"So?" Alexandra asked slowly.
"So he came to my room and flopped on my bed without even looked if there's anyone sleeping in it, twice." Remus said embarrassedly.
Alexandra raised her eyebrows. "Oh my god, what did you do then?"
"I woke up immediately and kicked him off the bed." Remus grinned.
"Oh my god!" Alexandra said and laughed again. But then out of the corner of her eye, she saw someone came into the shop and killed her laughter immediately.
Tim.
"Err, Remus? Have you made up your mind?" Alexandra asked frantically.
"Hm? Yeah." Remus said, tossed the lighter in the air and caught it easily.
"Then I will wait for you outside." Alexandra said quickly, turned around and bumped into Tim, who was standing behind her.
"Hi Alex." Tim said.
"H-hi." Alexandra managed to say.
Remus looked at Alexandra, then at Tim. "Something is wrong around here." He thought.
"Are you going to introduce me to your friend?" Tim asked in a cold tone.
Remus narrowed his eyes at his tone.
Alexandra swallowed and said: "Remus, this is my classmate, Tim, and Tim, this is my boyfriend, Remus Lupin."
"Pleased to meet you." Tim said but he didn't sound that he meant it and stretched out his hand. He lifted his head slightly to meet Remus' eyes. (Because Remus is taller than he is)
Remus smiled and took Tim's hand. "Pleased to meet you too." He smiled and continued to when he found that Tim was tightening his grip on his hand. "Try to crash my hand? Two can play this game." He thought and stared at Tim's hand. He muttered a few words and Tim's hand became as brittle as soft drink can. Remus tightened his hand quickly for the spell lasted for only a few seconds and he grinned inwardly when he saw Tim's face filled with agony. Tim jerked his hand out of Remus' grip and rubbed his hand painfully. Remus smiled again, which made Tim's blood boiled.
"Well, I have something else on. I have to go." Tim said quickly. "See you at school, Alex." He said and left.
***
"That kid is a slimeball, if you ask me." Remus said in disgust while lying on the sofa and his head on Alexandra's lap, watching the 10 o'clock news on the television at night.
"And a Slytherin. Don't you know what will a Slytherin do to get what he wants? You could be killed." Alexandra said worriedly.
"I am not worried about myself." Remus said after he shifted a little to look at Alexandra. "I can hex him and if he hurts me, in the wizarding world, there's nothing we can't heal unless one, you are dead. Two, you are under an evil curse that is so bad that we can't heal you. Three, one part of your body is completely disconnected from your body. Take Malfoy for example, he was heavily injured by a Hippogriff during his third year and Madam Pomfrey healed him in just a few seconds." He lifted his hands and counted his fingers as he talked. When he finished, he dropped his hands as if they were very heavy.
"But...." Alexandra started.
"What I do worried about," Remus interrupted. "Is you."
Alexandra didn't say anything. Remus sat up, put his arm around her and whispered: "You have no magical powers, you don't have a wand, how can I have a heart to teach when I am too busily worrying about you after the holidays? Tim will stop at nothing to get you. What if he has this crazy idea of killing you, then himself so that you two can be together in death?"
"Is that mean both of our lives are in danger?" Alexandra whispered.
Remus nodded. "I afraid so."
Note: For those who are waiting for Remus' proposal to Alexandra, stay tuned for the next chapter. It will be updated soon in a few days. I promise.
