Chapter 9-
The next morning came before anyone had anytime to do anything about it. Severus came to breakfast with a particularly grim look on his face, muttering something dark and foreboding. Gilderoy arrived in the Great Hall with his usual confused look that had never left his face since his memory was a s restored as it could get. And Andromeda made her way to the staff table, tripping over things as she refused to look away from Gilderoy. She couldn't believe it; today Gilderoy's smile was a thing of beauty, when just yesterday she thought she probably shouldn't look directly into it. She sat down next to Gilderoy with a sweet smile across her lips, not giving a thought to Severus, who was sitting down the table with a dangerous look on his face.
Look at them, Severus thought, Gilderoy's probably talking about how wonderful he is. Severus tapped his fingers on the table. He wanted to reach down the table a strangle Gilderoy. It would be a great pleasure to feel Gilderoy's bones crack beneath his grip. But no. They had a deal, and clever as he was, Severus was an honest man. Or at least, most of the time.
"And so that is how I defeated the Bald Banshee." Gilderoy concluded his story with a flourish. "Really?" Andromeda said. "I could have sworn that a witch named Silva Harpstring did that." "Could you pass the rolls?" Gilderoy asked, quickly changing the subject.
Gilderoy and Andromeda walked the halls of Hogwarts most of the day, just talking. Most of it was Andromeda, thought. Gilderoy was so fascinated in the useless information Andromeda liked to talk about that he forgot all about what his books were about. "Did you know that ducks quacks don't echo?" Andromeda was saying. "And nobody knows why." Gilderoy looked at his watch. It was almost six o'clock, time for dinner. "It's time to go back." Gilderoy said, turning around. "Um, Gilderoy...." Andromeda began. "You're holding your watch upside down. "Oh." He said. "In that case it's almost twelve." Andromeda smiled. "Oh well." She said. "I would have rather spent the time with you anyway." It's almost twelve, Gilderoy thought. In less than a moment, she would be torn between himself and that slimy grease-ball Snape. There was nothing he could do about it either. So, in the middle of a sentence she was saying, he took her in his arms and kissed her. When they parted, Andromeda just stood there. She opened her mouth, as if to say something, but the words were caught in her throat. She felt a horrible pain in her stomach, as she did the nights before, but this one was worse by far. She fell to the floor, there was a horrid ringing in her ears, and she blacked out. Gilderoy couldn't stand seeing her in so much pain, especially because it was half his fault. He picked her up and began to carry her to the hospital wing. He felt so sorry for her. She had no idea that she would have to make a decision that could make or break her entire life.
There it is folks. it's short because I have an extremely hard time writing Gilderoy love stories. I need your help SOOOO much right now. Please review and tell me who she should end up with: Gilderoy, Severus or Remus. it's all up to you.
