Chapter Something or Other-
Andromeda woke up in the hospital wing. She has no idea how she got there, or what had happened the previous night. She tried to sit up, but her head was throbbing. She swore loudly as her head hit her pillow. "That's very lady-like." A voice came from her right. She looked over. It was Remus. "Good morning." He said cheerfully. "Oh, shut up." She said, not wanting to be told it was a good anything. "Aren't you a little ray of sunshine." Remus said, still smiling.
After a very large painkiller, Andromeda was ready to go down to the Great Hall in time for lunch. She and Remus sat next to each other at the staff table, not noticing a very confused Severus Snape and Gilderoy Lockhart peering over from the other end of the table.
"I don't understand it." Severus said, flipping through his potions book. "She shouldn't have any interest in other men." They had just walked down to the dungeon after lunch. Gilderoy was playing with a brain that was floating in one of the jars on Severus's desk. Severus continued reading the book. "It says here that when the victim of the potion loves another, she will have to choose between the two people who use the potion, and the original love.. He's going to be a problem." Severus shut the book. "Look what I can do!" Cried Gilderoy, balancing the brain on the tip of his nose. "Silence!" Severus said, frustrated that he had to compete with Remus.
Meanwhile, Andromeda was perfectly fine with the fact that Remus was in with the whole thing. Of course she didn't know it, but she didn't need to. She and Remus were in the library playing wizards chess, talking about their childhoods and about the DADA job and how it was cursed.
Due to the fact it was a Saturday, Remus and Andromeda decided to go into Hogsmeade for dinner. They sat at a tiny nook in the corner and enjoyed each others company very much. "So why did you leave the DADA job?" Andromeda was asking as they waited for their food to come. "From what I hear, you were everyone's favorite. Even over Alastor Moody." Remus became a bit nervous. "No reason." He said. "I think teaching wasn't exactly my forte." "Oh." Replied Andromeda; pretty sure that he wasn't telling the truth. Remus was fighting with himself. Should he tell her why he wasn't working at Hogwarts anymore? Surely she had heard something; she didn't look convinced at his answer. "Andromeda...." he said nervously. "I- I'm what you would call a werewolf." He waited for a response, but none came. Andromeda felt a surge of emotion come over her. It was pity, it was compassion, it was empathy. Remus didn't know what she was feeling however, he just knew she wasn't responding to what he had said. "I should go." He said, his voice wavering a bit. He got up and quickly walked through the door. Andromeda followed. "Remus!" she called after him. He stopped and turned towards her. "I shouldn't have come." He said, sadly. "I shouldn't have made you go through that." "What do you mean?" Andromeda said. "I have nothing against you! You are who you are, and it's not your fault!" Remus looked unconvinced. "I am what I am." He said. "That doesn't help. Because I am what I am, I am alone." "I can change that!" Andromeda cried. "If only you would let me!" Remus lowered his eyes. "Remus," she said, taking his hand in hers. "I love you because you're sweet, and charming and wonderful. Nothing will ever change that. Not you, not me, and not anything that might have happened in the past." Remus was speechless. She took her in his arms and embraced her. For a moment, the world was a perfect place. Everything was colorful and alive and perfect. But then Andromeda felt the feeling again. A pain stabbed its way through her stomach and she collapsed. She couldn't here Remus call her name in a panic. She couldn't see any of the people rush towards her, and suddenly, the world went black, and she saw and heard no more.
Just letting everyone know, its not over. I got tons of emails on this one. IT IS NOT OVER! THERE IS MORE!
