A/N: I know the title sucks ::rolls eyes:: but give it a chance, will you?
Chapter Two
Not Quite Singing in the Rain
I'm back!!!! Okay. I'll quit it. I have to keep apologizing about the Ollie Kahn thing. I just feel so guilty. Now sit back.. Relax. and. enjoy. (if you actually do when you read this)
Danae's tears ran down her cheeks as she made her way to the only available sanctuary: the girls' bathroom.
She locked herself in a cubicle and changed into her normal school robes. Soon, she stopped crying, and she whispered, fiercely, curses and jinxes that she would have like to have put on Sirius at that time.
.
Remus, on the other hand, a sandy-haired, quiet and pensive boy watched as Danae turned a corner. He followed, but stopped short once he saw the place she had gone into. He cursed inwardly and wished he had James or Sirius' courage, so that he could just barge in and demand that Danae come out.
Finally, he forced himself to step in.
.
Danae was just about to come out of the cubicle when she heard the door creak open and someone step in.
"Danae?" It was the gravelly tenor voice of Remus Lupin.
Danae froze. "You're not allowed in here. You'll get your prefect badge suspended, Lupin," she lashed out, once she loosened her tongue.
"Danae-" Remus began.
"Oh, so now I have a marauder calling me by my first name. Isn't this great?" Danae cut in, sarcastically.
"Danae, I'm sorry for-"
"I don't need your sorries. Get lost."
"Okay. This Saturday, Hogsmead, at the Mexican Cabomba statue, half past five. I won't leave until you arrive," said Remus. He then turned heel and left.
Danae felt confused. Didn't the marauders hate her? What did Lupin want? Even James did not treat her like this. Why?
It was awhile before she emerged from the toilet.
.
The days flew by, and before Danae knew it, it was Saturday. Sirius had met her a few times and the only thing that showed that he knew that she existed was her split bag and a wardrobe full of pink garments.
Danae stepped out of Three Broomsticks after she had her butterbeer. She asked around for directions and got really mixed up. She made her way, totally lost, to a statue of a funny-looking plant. What's a Cabomba anyway? She asked herself.
Remus was not there.
.
While Danae stood there waiting and tapping her foot impatiently as it began to rain, Remus leaned on the real Cabomba statue with an umbrella supplied by someone from the Marauder's fan club. As half an hour passed, he started to grow worried. He glanced at the Marauder's Map that James had lent him for that day. It did not help at all.
Suddenly, his eyes fell on an old lady with a young little girl strolling along the pavement, holding a large polka-dotted umbrella.
The little girl said rather loudly, "Grandma, what was that person doing there, all drenched in the rain at the Petunia Statue?"
Upon hearing that, Remus dashed hurriedly to the Petunia statue- as fast as he could in the rain.
.
Danae was all drenched, and her hair was plastered rather unattractively to her head. She didn't care. The world went fuzzy and darkness bit into the corners of her vision.
"I'll curse that Lupin," she growled, before she collapsed.
.
Remus got there just in time to see Danae fall, and he rushed towards her, catching her just before her head crashed onto the cobblestone path.
Steadily, he helped her onto her feet and cupped his hand around her elbow. He firmly steered her towards Three Broomsticks for another mug of Butterbeer.
"Lupin. you idiot!" she muttered, once they had ordered their Butterbeers. She was very pale, and her lips were white.
Remus felt her forehead briefly before Danae slapped his hand away.
"Get off me, Lupin," she spat. "You could have told me where the Cabomba statue was. And then we wouldn't be- "
"Danae, I'll have to get you back to Hogwarts. You're burning hot, and you don't look so good," he said, with an unnatural urgency.
Danae looked at him groggily and her forehead hit the bar counter. She felt strong, warm arms lifting her off the seat and found herself being carried back to Hogwarts.
. "My my. what a dramatic appearance." said Lorien Kaisean, the nurse, who had a very gossipy nature, and also had an equally gossipy apprentice, called Poppy.
Remus, by now as wet as Danae was, and even colder, lay Danae gently on the bed as Lorien and Poppy went to get the necessary potions to give Danae. As he turned to go and change in the Gryffindor dormitories, Danae reached out and whispered softly.
"Anyway, Lupin, why did you make and appointment with me?"
Remus spun around and said to her, "The rest of the team- and Gryffindor- we really need you to come back. I- we have to admit that- you're the best Keeper we have ever had, and will ever have. Just. come back. Please. If not for Gryffindor, then. for me."
He blushed deeply and strode out.
