Chapter Seven- inspired by my sever Boredom at sis's boyfriends house

That night when Remus was getting into bed he looked at his scar. It was even more irritated than it had been before. He touched it and shuddered involuntarily. It had never gotten like this before... The full moon was two days a way, but he didn't think that had anything to do with this. He sighed and rolled over. He'd try to look it up in the library tomorrow.

He heard Sirius's and James's heavy breathing next to him, and thought about his date this Sunday. He didn't even know the girl's name. He'd have to ask Sirius tomorrow.

The thought about Prof. Ramsong, the new DADA teacher. Everything about him was familiar, his walk, his voice, his hair, even his smile. He seemed nice enough though.... Maybe he'd try to talk to him after class tomorrow.

Remus went to sleep, dreaming of gray-haired teachers, smiling strawberry blonde girls, and being dragged around the common room by Sirius.

The next day at break the three boys went outside, James and Sirius talking animatedly about Quidditch and Remus reading. Remus's date walked by and Sirius pointed and shook Remus. "Hey!" He said, stealing Remus's book. "Go talk to her!" "No!" Remus retorted, reaching for his book. "I don't even know her name!"

"Go talk to her, or," Sirius made a gesture with the book as to throw it in the lake. "And her name is Rebecca." Remus, seeing he had no choice, stood up. "Come with me." he gestured to Sirius. "And give me my book." "After," Sirius said, standing up and walking with up to Rebecca with Moony.

"Hi, I'm Sirius, remember?" he said. "And this is Remus. your date." He ran off before Remus could grab him. He blushed. She was pretty, her hair down past her shoulders and her clever brown eyes sparkling. He looked at her wrist and was amazed at how many bracelets he saw.

She followed his gaze. "Oh, yes." She said. "Some people say I have too many," Remus couldn't think of anything so say. He would kill Sirius... She smiled.

"How many?" He asked, frantically thinking of something to talk about. "Fourty-six!" She said proudly. "As of today. Hey, do you want me to make you one?"

"Sure," Remus said, shaking his tawny hair into his eyes. He followed her over to a tree, were she got out some string and a wand. She tied three strings into knot at one and bewitched the string to braid.

"Thanks," Remus said as she tied it on him. It was red and gold, Gryffindor colors. Rebecca smiled. Remus blushed. He was sitting here with this girl Sirius had set him up with. He had no clue what to talk about and didn't want to be rude.

He stood up. "I better get back in the castle. It's almost time for classes." "Okay, talk to you later!" called the girl.

Remus walked back over to Sirius and James. "So..?" They asked, grinning. "What?" Remus said. "How'd it go?" They chorused.

Remus held out his arm. "Ohh a friendship bracelet..." said Sirius, fingering the red and gold braid."You have proved yourself worthy!" Shouted James, handing him back his book. The three walked back inside.

That day, after defense against the dark arts, Remus hung back after class you try and get a word with the professor. "Er-professor, could I have a word with you?"

he asked. "Of course!" Professor Ramsong turned around.

Remus didn't know what made him do it. As soon as the professor turned around, Remus turned tail and ran out of the classroom.
