Finally, after ages of agonizing ages. After months of mortifying months.
After years of yearning- ok I'll stop now. This is chapter two of the
invisible detective! Read and review!
Jennifer Agusta sighed. She was staring a Remus Lupin-again. Why couldn't she just concentrate on her potion? They were now in 7th year and ever since 1st, he had been her crush. This was because he "saved" her from the lake. You see, she was stuck with Sirius, James and Remus (I know) on their sail to Hogwarts. She could tell from the start that two of them were pranksters, but Remus was kind and first to say hello. She remembered it perfectly; she had a knack for that. ~FLASHBACK~
Jenn's point of view
"No (I will not try the accent) more than four to a boat!" said some big guy. He had black hair and beard. I walked down the shore- all boats are full. Great. But I have high hopes for this year. Wait! One boat has three! Three boys!
"You need to go in this one." The man told me. I climbed in; hopefully, I'll make friends on this trip.
"Hi. I'm Remus, what's your name?" the only brunette in the boat. The other two had raven hair. I was about to reply when they started laughing. Troublemakers, no wonder they were at a boarding school. Their mothers probably can't handle it. How do I know this? That's how I am, I observe things. I used to have a dairy that had facts about people I knew. But that's old life. I'm starting new, fresh. No more of that stuff.
Anyway. The boys were laughing. A funny feeling crept into my stomach. Were they laughing at me? What did I do? Did I look odd? I had been laughed at all my life. Whenever someone so much as giggles, and I am in the area, I feel like they're laughing at me. It's a horrible feeling. 75% of the time it is not about me, though. And I try to convince myself that the next time someone laughs, it wont be because of me. but easier said then done. it has never been done. I was knocked back to Earth when Remus spoke once more.
"You guys" he told his friends "be polite, come on!" The two boys, who had just noticed me, looked up. "Oh" "hi". They answered. "James Potter." "Sirius Black." And the held out their hands for me to shake.
I shook their hands, and was about to say "Jennifer Agusta" when that man said "START ROWING!!!"
Remus and James began rowing furiously as Sirius "steered" next to me in the back. He looked at me and I smiled weakly. Then I turned and looked at the water. the feeling was not completely gone yet. the face I saw was sad, but I kept looking. Suddenly, I was feeling the water, tasting the water. I was into the water. Sirius pushed me in.
When I surfaced I saw the two boys laughing, and Remus looking shocked. "That was rude." He murmured, helping me up. I was almost balanced when I was pushed again- by James this time.
I was very weak now, but I somehow managed to swim to the boat again, which seemed to be moving away from me -fast. I was sure glad Remus was a boy. A girl could never have pulled me into the boat with the help I could give.
"Thank you" I managed. Once I sat down grabbing the edges of the boat for dear life.
"Your welcome." Sirius and James said in unison.
"Not you. Idiots" well I actually said I-D-10-T but it means the same. I was silent for the rest of the trip. I wanted very badly to be sorted into the same house as Remus, but I was in Ravenclaw. And he was in Gryffindor. I was friendless. Gone was my hope. Back to solitude.
END FLASHBACK
Luckily, Jennifer was in 4 classes with Remus (all happened to by advanced, may I add) DADA, History f Magic, Potions and Divination (so unpopular, all four houses of advanced were all in one class). Jenn stopped staring. She didn't want anyone to find out about her secret crush. Even though no one notices her. Her hopes weren't very high anyway, who would like and ugly girl like her? Sure, her dirty, reddish (not much) blonde hair was pretty, and maybe her eyes looked nice with that little pinch of gray, but it was the face and body shape that mattered. And what mattered was ugly. Remus was in the "popular" group. But not snobby-popular. They were" James, Sirius (which- according to every other girl in the school- were the 2 hottest guys on the premises), Remus and a girl named Angela. Jenn doesn't count Lily, James's girlfriend, she has her own set of friends, and Peter is just a tag-along, so he wont count, though he certainly tags-along quite a bit. Anyway. Right now, the "Fantastic Four" were just blabbing their mouths off.
The teacher cracked "Enough!" he- Professor Brewer~ get it BREWer~- yelled, "you four MOVE! Potter! By Malfoy! Lupin! By Zibbit! Black! By Brown! (I did that on purpose, doesn't it sound funny?) Broom (Angela's last name, Friends, don't say anything.) in the back!" he took a deep breath. Professor Brewer was so exhausted from yelling, it took him20 seconds to recompose himself.
She sat in the back. Professor Brewer did not say her name (probably forgot it) but that's what he meant. Angela was going to sit next to her. But- but- she was invisible! How could she be sitting next to someone? Great. She had to resort to memory charms didn't she?
"Hi I'm - whoa! Good potion!" Angela said quietly. Jenn turned red, unable to speak (she hadn't done so in a long time. Even during the summer. Her family. well. she didn't want to them about them right now.), very red.
Angela chuckled. "You remind me of Peter. He turned that exact shade of red when he told me he liked you-" she stopped. Jenn turned her head 90 degrees at 1000000 miles per hour. "What!?!?!?!?!!" she said, meaning it to be screamed, but it came out as a whisper. "Who else did he tell??!?!?!!?!?"
"Just me. But promise me you wont tell! Please! I'm the biggest blabbermouth and he would kill me if he knew you knew!" Angela said urgently, 'I beg you- er"
"No need to know my name, I wont tell." Just them the bell rang. Jenn put her finger to her lips and looked at Angela. She did the same. Both sending out and understanding the messages silently sent, they left the classroom. And "I owe you big" was the last thing Angela said. Good? Bad? Tell me what you think!
