A/N: Hehe.. more Remus in love.

~~~~~~~~*********~~~~~~~~~~~~********~~~~~~~~~~~
I met Kaetrina at a Muggle ice cream shop; she seemed unnerved by all the cars and busses passing by. I tried to ask her about her family but she turned pale and bit her lip a lot, so I got off the subject.
It took all my courage to tell her that I was going to be ill in a few days. She quirked an eyebrow at my disbelievingly.
"What do you mean, GOING to be sick? You plan these things?"
I shook my head vigorously and took her hand. Stammering to speak I tried to find the quickest and least painful way to explain to her that I was a werewolf, and had been for some time. I sighed and gave up, I wanted to just savor the moment I had there, holding her hand unabated.
Her deep blue eyes engulfed my senses and I completely tuned out the rest of the world. I felt I was falling deeper and deeper into an ocean of feeling. I knew that if I wrote down this feeling then and there, my luck would change and Sirius would show up to laugh and chortle at me. I didn't know why I was so repressed about my feelings for Kaetrina when it came to my friends. It just seemed like I was the one to council and advise on the love issues, and not really have them for myself.
I felt a cold chill run down my spine and I realized she had let go of my hand and was waving hers in my face.
"Are you even listening to me?" She wasn't angry, just smiling very kindly at me as if she had caught herself doing the same thing to me previously. I nodded again, and then shook my head. I felt very daft and corny but she gave me a peck on the cheek. I flushed completely magenta, I nearly matched my red socks. She giggled and took my hand again.
"You're friends are coming, shall I go and leave you three alone?" I turned back nervously and saw James was holding Lily's hand and that gave me some comfort. Then I remembered the torment Sirius gave James about his love. I was doomed.
As they reached out table, Lily and Kaetrina decided to go into "Girl Talk" mode, and chattered on, leaving James and Sirius to drag me away from the table.
"Is she Muggle born, half and half, or pure blood?"
"Does she like Quidditch?" "Does she have a sister?" "SIRIUS!" "Sorry. " "I think she likes you mate. Moony you have it made, so um, have you told her?"
I nearly fainted as their eyes pried into mine deeply. Both deep with concern; I'm not quite sure it was for me though.
"Well have you?" Sirius pried deeper and searched mine intently. "You haven't told her. Well, then. This is a job for the Marauders then!"
James grinned, and I shook internally. It was one thing for the Marauders goal in life to torment sniveling little Slytherins, but to get involved in my love life was another. The worry must have been apparent, but that never stopped Ol' Padfoot and Prongs before. I nearly let out a whimper as they went to break Lily and Kaetrina apart.
