A/N~ Again, thank you to all of my friends for being wonderful about reading and criticizing my story, helping me to make it as good as possible. Please continue to read and review, so I'll still know whether or not I'm doing well. Advice wouldn't be too bad, either. Thanks!

Disclaimer~ I do not own the characters you recognize, nor do I have any children or speak French fluently. (JK Rowling owns em, if ya haven't guessed.)


Chapter 4 One week later...
"Hey Rose? Can we talk?" Said Anna, taking a seat next to Rose on the Common Room couch.
Swift looked up and set her books down. "Of course, anything to get me away from studying. One week in, and already a test! Can you believe it?" Noticing Zorra's troubled face, she asked, "What's up?"
"I'm in love with Remus. Every time he comes near me, my knees weaken and it's hard for me to walk. Just the thought of him makes my heart skip a beat. It's scaring me, but I don't want to let go. I don't think I could even if I wanted to. Nor do I want to be the first to say those three special words. What if he doesn't feel the same way about me? I couldn't bear to lose him, yet I don't think I'd be able to handle it if something happened to one of us and I never got the chance to tell him how I feel."
Rose's face lit up, "Aww, that is so sweet! You should definitely let him in on how you feel. Trust is the key to relationships. In this case, you need to trust your heart. Let him know, and if for some odd reason he doesn't feel the same, he's not worth your tears. No guy is ever worth your tears. When you meet one who is, he won't ever make you cry."
Zorra nodded, "Thanks, love." Later that night...
Anna and Remi were walking silently hand in hand along the glittering lake. They seated themselves by a tree. She easily leaned into his body snuggled up close. His arms curled around her. Laying in silence for a few minutes, both of them just stared up at the stars enjoying eachother's presence.
Interrupting the silence, Anna whispered, "Remes?"
"Yeah?"
"I love you..." She held her breath. When he didn't look at her or make any attempts to reply, her heart seemed to scream in pain. Instead of reassurance, he just pulled her closer. A few minutes later, they went inside. Walking into the Common Room in an uncomfortable silence, they saw Laria and Sean sucking eachother's faces on the couch. Rolling their eyes, they walked to their dormitories without so much as a nod goodnight.
Not being able to sleep because of the moaning downstairs and the obvious things clouding her mind, Zorra sat in a chair looking out the window. Tiptoeing in hours later, Laria jumped when she saw Anna still awake. Forcing a smile, Anna asked, "Have fun?"
Shadow grinned, "Loads." She took a closer look at her friend's face. "What's wrong?"
Anna then broke down and told Laria the whole story. Laria gently rocked her back and forth, wiping her tears away. Getting back into bed, Anna quietly said, "Thanks."
"Anytime."
"Get laid?"
There was only a giggle in reply before falling asleep.
Recently, Sean had walked into the room to find Remus still awake. He looked up and nodded as a greeting, quickly wiping a glistening tear from his eye. Feeling sorry for him, Sean waked over and sat next to him, "What's up, Moony?"
Remi shook his head.
"If you tell me, I'll tell you about my night," Uruz grinned ear to ear.
"Do I really want details of what I just heard downstairs?" Remus wondered aloud.
Sean smiled softly, "Nah, probably not." They sat in silence before Sean made his way over to his bed, lying down. "If ya wanna talk about it, I'm here. We all are."
"Thanks, mate," he managed to mutter.
Climbing into bed, Remi began to think about what had just happened. ' I love her more than life itself, but how can she love me? I'm only a monster who could never help her achieve what she wants, what she needs, what she deserves. Anyway, it's too later no. After not telling her how I feel, she must hate me. I'm so stupid.' He sighed, his heart ripping into a million pieces. Rolling over, he managed to close his eyes. However, he didn't get a wink of sleep with similar thoughts running through his head all night.

A/N~ sorry! i was feeling a little depressed when i wrote this, and for my recent chapters being so short. They should start getting longer soon enough. It's just certain spots in the story seemed perfect as a stopping point, so I cut em short. i figured my story needed a little bit of drama, it's been fairly happy so far. it's something to stir things up a bit. any ideas on what i should do???
