A/N: I am such a moronic moron!!! AHHH!!! Someone save me from this insanity!!!

::ahem:: Annnnyy way, this is VERY Mary Sue, I know. For you're info...My Snapey fic got ONE whole review after being posted for a week and a half. ::cries:: So, I won't be continuing it. HAHA to all of the people who actually read it, because you DIDN"T review so I WONT be continuing it. ::sticks tongue out at insolent non-reviewers::

MUAHAHAHAHAAAAA ::shifts uncomfortably:: So, tell me what you think, because if you don't review I won't be continuing. I might be nice, that's MIGHT--mind you--so think twice before not reviewing.

P.S. I know that this is a really fluff-like story. ::puts on news anchor-person voice:: Major fluff that might actually have a point.

Disclaimer: I own: Ali and Izzy. ::bows:: thaaaaank you.



Chapter 3: ~Ali~

I woke up the next morning to a knock on the door. Izzy was already gone, most likely eating something downstairs.

Still dressed in my long white night shirt, I walked half-asleep to the bedroom door and opened it.

"Hey Ali." Remus said. I could see him carrying a tray with some food on it. *What?* My sleepiness said in my brain.

"Hey Remus." I opened the door and hopped back into my bed. He pushed the door closed with his heel and came over to my bed.

"I brought you breakfast." He smiled his gorgeous smile.

"Are you sure Sirius or James didn't poison it?" I asked cautiously.

Remus laughed and told me, "They aren't staying in Hogsmeade. They went home last night."

"Oh thank God." He sat on the end of the bed and placed the tray in between us. There were two plates.

"I didn't have breakfast either, and Izzy told me to tell you that she and my little sister Emily are going to the next town. They'll be back in three days. Your mum said that she and Mrs. B. are going with them."

"What about your mom?" I asked curiously, taking an orange slice from a little plate.

"She had to go back and watch my cousins. So, we're going to be alone for a few days."

"Well, that was a great warning. And since when have you had a little sister?"

"Since fourteen years ago. She came this morning from a summer camp."

I nodded thoughtfully and took a bite of the orange, but spit it out almost immediately. "I always forget I don't like oranges."

~*~*~*~

We decided to go up to Hogwarts castle, and Remus would show me around.

"Dumbledore told me that I could show you around anytime we wanted to. I know you'll be put into Gryffindor, so I'll introduce you to the Fat Lady."

We walked up the long staircase, went through more tapestries than I could count, and ran through trick walls until Remus announced we had arrived.

I looked up to see a huge portrait of a fat woman in a pink dress.

"Good afternoon, Remus!" She greeted him. "Who is this?"

"This is Ali. She's going to transfer here this year, and I was wondering if you could let us in so I could show her around?"

"Sure thing!" And she swung forward to reveal a large hole.

"Climb in!" Remus encouraged. It was tough to get in the dumb hole.

I needed a leg-up from Remus, who thought the whole thing was extremely funny.

"Shut up!" I said and tried to kick him, but remembered that he was holding my foot.

We went in-finally-to see a large room.

"This is the Gryffindor common room." He told me. "All of the Gryffindors come in here to do homework and stuff. This," Remus pointed to a spiral staircase, "is the way to the girls dormitory, and this is the way to the boys dormitory." He pointed to another staircase.

I ran up to the boy's dorms first. "Which one is yours?" I asked.

"The one that says 'fifth years' on it."

I walked in to a square room that had four beds, four wardrobes, a bathroom, and of course, night stands.

"Which bed is yours?" I asked Remus, who had run up the stairs behind me.

"The one next to the window." I ran over and jumped on it.

"Bouncy." I yelled and pulled my legs out from under myself.

"Yeah, I'm surprised it hasn't fallen down yet." He flopped down beside me. I was on my back, and he lay on his stomach, looking at me.

We were silent for a time.

"Ali?"

"Yeah?"

"Have you ever had a boyfriend?"

"Well, no. It really didn't matter to me at all. Why?" He crawled over so that his face was directly above mine.

"Have you ever kissed anyone?"

"Well, if you don't count that retarded joke Sirius played on me last year, then no. But I haven't been like KISSED kissed. Only kissed. Know what I mean?" He nodded.

"Like, joking around with a friend kind of kiss, right?"

"Yeah. Why did you want to know?"

"Just wondering." He lowered his head so we were almost touching. I felt his lips brush against mine, and knew that this was not just a friendly kiss. The passion was put behind walls, waiting to escape. I-being uncharacteristically bold-was the first one to open my mouth. My first real kiss.

We lay on the bed for a few minutes, still kissing. When we broke apart, Remus said, "Very good, for a first kiss."

"You ain't seen nothin'." I smiled and yawned. "You know, in California it's like, midnight or something. So I can truthfully say I stayed up until midnight making out with my boyfriend." *Oops* I clapped my hand over my mouth. "Sorry!"

"It's okay. It'd be cool to be your boyfriend. If that's okay with you."

I smiled. "We've known each other for two days and we're already going out. Interesting."

"I've never been with someone so quickly."

"I know." He gave me another kiss and helped me up from the bed.

"Come on, I'm gonna show you Hogwarts." He took me by the hand and led me out of the common room and out into the hallway.

"Where are we going?" I squealed as he yanked my arm.

"You'll see." We arrived at a small humpbacked witch. "Disendium." Remus muttered as he pointed his wand at its back. The hump opened and we slid down the narrow stone slide.

"Gees, Remus!" I cried. "Thanks for the warning!"

"Enough with the sarcasm, Ali."

"Sorry, bad habit."

"It's okay. Look, only Sirius, James, and I know where this passage is. You can't tell anyone. I am the only one who knows about this, though." He walked up to a little niche in the ceiling and pressed his finger to it. The wall in front of him disappeared to reveal a large room. "Come on!"

Remus pushed me into it just as the wall started to close.

I got a better look at the room. It was like a small apartment. There was a little mini kitchen type of thing, a table, a couch, and two other rooms. I walked into them, and it turned out to be a bathroom and a bedroom.

"Woah." I breathed in amazement. "How did you find this place?"

"I was hiding from Sirius, and I hit the thing on the ceiling, and the wall opened up. I never told them about it. Promise not to tell anyone?"

"Cross my heart." I walked into the kitchen to see a small muggle mini cooler. "Why do you have a mini cooler?" I asked.

"To keep food in, of course. I put a spell on it so that the food would stay cold. Want something to drink? I have…" he looked into the cooler. "Pumpkin juice, coke, and some little root beer things."

"Why do you have muggle drinks?" I asked, coming up behind him.

He shrugged. "To tell you the truth, I really don't know…" he mused.

"Remus, what's your favorite type of yogurt?" I asked, looking at the drinks.

"Kind of a random question, don't you think?" He replied.

"Well, sure, but what is it?"

"I like…strawberry cheesecake."

I dropped the coke he hand handed me onto the floor. "Ali?" Remus said concernedly.

I couldn't speak. I stumbled back into the counter and slid down to sit on the floor.

"Ali…?" He asked again.

"Remus, I want you to make me a list of all your favorite things. Colors, movies, songs, everything. Please?" I looked up nervously at him.

"Sure Ali, anything. You wanna go back up?" I nodded and took the hand that was offered to me.
