Chapter 7
A/N: For this chapter, I'm just kind of going off the plot to do something with another character. *cough* Read on and you shall see. :D Don't expect any Sirius/Steph or Lily/James action until a couple of chapters later. I just couldn't help it. This idea came into my head and I just had to add it to the fic.
*~*~*
The moon was slowly disappearing as the sun came up. He howled one last time before he changed back to his original form. He didn't know how many times in his life that he had done this and laid there in the empty house for hours. Exhausted. He was tired of this. It was something that prevented him from having a normal wizard life like the others. He got up and went down the creaking stairs back to school.
When he entered the common room, someone was lying on one of the couches with a book under their head. He tried to walk slowly so it wouldn't wake the person but the floor creaked a little, awakening the person.
She opened her eyes and turned to see him standing there on tippytoes.
"Remus!" She exclaimed. She got up and ran to him, throwing herself on him. She hugged him so hard he could hardly breathe.
"Brig....you're going to choke me if you don't let go of me now." Remus said in a strangling voice. Brigitte pulled away from him slightly.
"You don't know how worried I was about you last night." She said with tears in her eyes.
"I'm alright now." He said giving her a warm smile. She smiled in return and reached up to give him a light peck on the lips.
"I hate this." She said softly while looking at his chocolate brown eyes.
Remus cringed inwardly. She didn't have to remind him about his secret. He sighed and broke away from her. He sat down on one of the chairs and she followed.
Touching him gently on the cheek, she asked. "Remus, are you alright?"
He wanted to say that he wasn't alright. He was sick and tired of his life as a werewolf. But instead he said, "Yes. I'm fine."
She seemed to have sensed that he was lying but her eyes were unfathomable. "If you say so." He bent down and kissed her hungrily. Soon she was on his lap and they were having a major snog fest. Someone cleared their throat in the background but they ignored it.
"Snogging already in the early morning. Get a room instead." The speaker said. This got their attention and they immediately broke away from each other.
"Sirius!" They exclaimed. Sirius was grinning mischievously at them.
"Moony, I've never seen you like this." Sirius said in a pretend serious tone. "What has gotten into you?"
"Sirius, can't you be serious for a little while and just leave us alone?" Remus exasperated.
"I am Sirius!" Sirius said with a smirk.
"Seriously."
"I am!!" He exclaimed.
Brigitte shot him a little glare in which he just smiled at her.
"What are you doing up so early?" She inquired.
He blushed suddenly at the thought. "Uh...nothing."
"Sirius.....what are you hiding from us?" She asked in a singsong tone.
"I have to go." He said and ran out the common room.
"I wonder what's with him." She said.
"With Sirius, it could be anything." Remus said. She shrugged and then asked. "Now where were we?"
She didn't get a answer because the next second, his mouth was on hers blocking all thoughts that she had.
*~*~*
She glared at the couple talking animatedly to one another. Jealousy was raging inside of her. He belonged to her. He was destined to be with her. They were alike in so many ways. Instead, he choose that girl. A girl that was so wrong for him. She was fuming. The girl was going to pay.
*~*~*
Brigitte Loretti was grinning from ear to ear. She was as Muggles called it 'On Cloud 9'. She had been walking by the lake with Remus. She sighed happily. She enjoyed being with him. They were totally in sync with one another. Turning her attention back to her Charms essay, she continued writing on her parchment. She couldn't help but draw little hearts all around it with their initials. She giggled at what she had done. She was so hopelessly in love. It was sickening but she couldn't have cared less.
Thinking about how they even started going out made her laugh. It was one of those things you would have never thought would happen. They were friends but they couldn't stop bickering. Now Remus was not the type to start arguing with one but when it came to her, it was as if someone lit a match in gasoline. They would go on about the littlest things. But one day, they were going on about something and she just had the sudden urge to throw herself on top of him. Of course, she pushed her thoughts away at first but then she melted in his eyes. She was surprised she never noticed them. So on that day, she kissed him. He was very surprised and pushed her away but she wouldn't let go of him. She still flushed at her actions. It was very unlike her. She was popped out of her thoughts with the entering of one of their roommates, Stefanie Linton.
"Hey Stef." Brig greeted her.
Stef looked at her strangely but returned back to her normal self almost instantly. "Hey."
"What's happening with you lately?" Brig asked. She was happy to have some company since Remus had run off to do something for Professor Mcgonagall. Lily and Steph were somewhere in the castle. Her two other roommates, Jessica Owens and Brianna Walters were at Hogsmeade. Even though she didn't know Stef as well as the others, they still hung out together once in a while.
"Same old." Stef replied.
"Are you still seeing Bryan?" Brig inquired. She didn't have a chance to ask Stef about her love life after she gotten together with Remus. She felt slightly guilty for neglecting her friend.
"No." She said looking somewhat distracted.
"Is everything okay?" Brig was concern about her. She didn't look too right.
"Yes, Now would you just mind your own business." Stef snapped.
Brigitte was stung. Stef did not act like that at all. She was one of the nicest people she had met at Hogwarts throughout her 7 years at Hogwarts. Never had Stef snap at anyone. She was very worried now. "Look, if you need anyone to talk to. I'm here for you."
"I'm sorry." She said quietly. "I don't know what's gotten into me lately."
Brig went over to give her a hug. "I've been a horrible friend."
"No you haven't. I've been the horrible friend."
"Let's just forget all the bad things and focus on the good ones." Brig suggested.
"How about going for a walk?" Stef asked.
"Sure." Brig smiled. "I need to get some fresh air."
*~*~*
Stupid girl, she thought. You're just making everything so easy for me. They went up a little hill not far from Hogwarts. They used to go up and look down at the water.
"Aaah. I haven't been here in so long." The girl said.
"I know what you mean." She said.
"Let's sit here like we used to." The girl suggested and sat herself down on the edge.
She couldn't help but smile. "Sorry." She said and then she pushed the girl down. Revenge was so sweet.
The girl shrieked but all was silent when she hit the water.
*~*~*
Finally, Remus thought, he didn't think Mcgonagall could have kept him any longer. As he was walking towards the Gryfinndor common room, he bumped into someone.
"Sorry." He said.
"It's okay." She replied. He saw that it was Stefanie Linton, another 7th year Gryfinndor.
"Hi." He said.
"Remus!" She exclaimed. Her eyes lighted up.
"What's happening?" He asked good-naturedly.
"Oh nothing. Were you heading back to the common room?" She asked.
"Yes." He replied. "Have you seen Brig?"
"Oh no, I haven't seen her all day." She said.
"Well I guess she's probably in her dorm room." He said.
"Um..yeah." She said nonchalantly.
"Thanks. See you around."
"Wait, Remus."
"Yes?"
"I heard you were really good at DADA. I was wondering if you could help me with the boggart thing."
"Sure. When are you free?"
"How about now?"
"Uh...sorry. I was going to find Brig."
"Oh wait!" Stef said suddenly. "I just remember her saying something about going with Jessica and Brianna to Hogsmeade."
"If that's the case, then I guess okay." He said. They walked back to the common room. Remus couldn't help shaking off a bad feeling. It's probably nothing, he thought.
