Chapter 7-
Andromeda fell down onto her bed and cried. She felt horrible, not only because she had lied to Remus, or because he was getting married, but because she had said she was engaged to Gilderoy. She had washed her mouth out countless time with a disgusting tasting bar of soap, but in vain. She still felt absolutely horrible.
Gilderoy was now convinced that he and Andromeda really were married, no matter how many times she told him that it was a sham.
There was a sudden knock on the door. "Come in." Andromeda said, really not wanting to see anybody."
The door opened, and in walked Gilderoy, holding up what looked like a "Macy's" catalogue. "Gilderoy," Andromeda said, "What do you want?"
"I wanted to show you what I think we should register for." Gilderoy said happily.
"Gilderoy." Andromeda said, massaging her temples, "We are NOT getting married."
Gilderoy looked puzzled. "But you said-..."
"Forget what I said!" Andromeda said firmly. "We are NOT getting married. Never ever! EVER!"
"Never ever?" Gilderoy asked.
"Just get out of my room." Andromeda said, falling back down on her bed. She heard Gilderoy's footsteps go outside, and the door closed. Andromeda then drifted into a restless sleep.
Andromeda and Severus were ready to get to the airport the next morning, when Remus and Gloria met them outside.
"Don't you think we should come with you?" Remus asked. "Just for Severus's muggle lessons?"
"You might as well." Andromeda said. "We could use the company. It's just going to be me, Severus, and a bunch of giggly girls."
"All right then." Remus said, and Gloria smiled. Andromeda winced at her bright white teeth, but said nothing.
"Oh god..." Andromeda screamed as she sat in her airplane seat. "What was that noise? OH GOD! WHAT DOES THAT NOISE MEAN?!"
"Andromeda," Severus growled, "We haven't even taken off yet."
"Would either of you like something to drink?" The flight attendant asked.
"I'll have anything stronger than 80 proof." Severus said, trying to keep Andromeda from jumping out of the plane.
"Severus?" Andromeda said, about six hours after the flight took off. "Are you ok?"
Severus was a bit tipsy. "I'm good. How are you?"
"Severus, I'll be frank with you." Andromeda began.
"Ok." Severus interrupted. "I'll be Ben."
"Surely, You've had enough to drink." Andromeda said, trying to get Severus's bottle away from him.
"I'm not Shirley." Severus replied. "I'm Ben, remember?"
"You're not Ben." Andromeda said, looking behind her seat to see Remus and Gloria snuggling sickeningly. She couldn't help but think that it should have been her.
"You know what?" Severus asked, getting up. "I think I want some cheesecake."
"No, Severus." Andromeda said, pulling Severus back down. "You haven't been good. You can't have any cheesecake.
"Oh... I want cheesecake! PLEASE? I'll be good!" he pleaded.
"Severus, you're embarrassing me!" Andromeda said, looking out the window, just in time to see the statue of Liberty.
"We're here." Andromeda told Severus, who had just harassed a flight attendant.
I know it's short, but I am working on my website all the time now, and have little time for anything else. Also, a note to the Surgeon General: if you don't like it don't read it. If you don't like it, don't review it. Don't waste your time. I love the rest of you. Any more SSS girls out there are welcome to send me profiles! Love and fishes- Jerri
