Disclaimer: I only own Alixana, nothing else.
MARAUDERER'S DAY
Remus looked up at the entrance to the castle anxiously. Xana never kept him waiting and now he had been waiting for almost twenty minutes. Suddenly, Alixana appeared out the door of Hogwarts. Remus could not see her face because of the shadows. He was just happy because she was finally there. He stood to greet her, smiling, until her face finally came into the light. Tears were streaming down her face.
"What's wrong, Xana?" Remus asked worriedly. She couldn't be upset. He wanted this moment to be perfect.
"R-R-Remus, please sit down. We need t-t-t-to talk," Alix stuttered, not meeting his eyes.
Ever the gentleman, Remus went to take Alix's hand to help her sit. She pulled away as if he burned her. She was already guilty because she knew the hurt that she was about to cause him. "Quit being so nice! You are going to hate me," Alix whispered, her voice cracking.
"I could never hate you, Xana. I love you," Remus knelt next to where Alix now sat.
Shaking her head, Alix said after a few moments of silence, "I don't love you, Remus. I've just met with my true love, that's why I was late."
Remus sat still for a moment. Finally, he nervously laughed, "You're joking. Please tell me, Xana, that you're joking."
"No joke, Remus. We've had our fun. Now it's time to go our separate ways," Alix looked out towards the beautiful sun setting on the lake, letting out a sarcastic laugh. "Isn't that just life? The scenery's so beautiful at the most inopportune moments."
Finally shaken out of his reverie, Remus leaned closer to Alix and did the one thing that he could think of, the one thing that made him feel closer to Alix than anything, he kissed her. She leaned in to it for a moment before she caught herself and pushed him away. Neither noticed the waves rippling across the lake when there was no wind. "Remus, you can't do that. We are no longer together. I have someone else."
"I don't believe you, Xana. How can you just say that we aren't meant to be together? Who is that has supposedly captured your heart? Who else is there?"
"Severus."
PRESENT DAY
Now shaken, Remus turned to Alix again, "Don't leave me again, Xana. Don't leave me." He raced across the room to catch her and caught her he did. He hugged her as if he was never going to be able to let go again.
NOTE FROM AUTHOR: Sorry for whoever may have actually read this. I was at college and have now finished and am on break. Anyone have any ideas on where to go from here? Anyone want to know why the weird occurrences happen when they kiss? Anyone want to know the story behind the unicorns? (As if you haven't been able to guess.)
I need help. I'm just not that good at writing these things. You may have noticed that I don't write long chapters. I have the ideas, just not the words.
Thanks!
