"Ok, it's safe, Remus went to the library, we sent Peter away, and we told our other room mate not to bother us," James said, shutting the door.
"Ok, Jaci went down to the Quidditch pitch, that'll keep her busy for hours." Kristie said, James smiled. They sat down on his bed, since Sirius' was messy still.
"We have to do something about those two," Becca said. "We all know that they like each other, but they won't admit it and if they do they don't think they could." Everyone nodded.
"Now, Becca and I have come up with a plan," Kristie said. James and Sirius smiled, they liked these girls for that reason. They were as sneaky as they were.
About half an hour later they were set, everyone knew what they had to do, not like it was much of a job, it was short and simple, and they had worked it our perfectly.
Becca looked up at James, smiling, he grinned back at her, and Becca's heart almost stopped, she had always had a secret crush on James, but she knew that he liked Lily, and Lily was Becca's best friend. She looked down at her sheet of paper and kept writing.
Sirius looked up at Kristie and smiled, she smiled back. Sirius always thought that Kristie was great fun, she was always ready to do the next thing, and that was enough for him, he wanted to show her the Maurder's map, but he couldn't, he was sworn to secrecy.
Jaci sighed as she touched back down on the ground, she loved to fly, it was her favorite thing to do, but it would be after hours soon and she needed to finish a Potions essay. She shook her head, if only it could disappear, but—she sighed again. Jaci put up her broomstick and ran up to the castle. She bumped into someone.
"Oh, I'm sorry," she froze, it was Remus. He looked up at her.
"No, it was my fault this time," she stooped to pick up his book at the same time he did and his hand landed on hers. He pulled back quickly and blushed.
"Sorry." Jaci smiled.
"I don't mind." She picked up the book, but didn't hand it to him; instead she looked at the cover, Werewolves All The Facts. "Oh, are you into werewolves?"
"You could say that," Remus said, turning rather pink.
"I think that they're fascinating."
"Really?" Remus asked surprised. Jaci nodded.
"Yes, I do." She blushed suddenly and looked around. "Would you walk me to the Common Room?" Remus grinned.
"Sure," he held out his arm and Jaci took it, still holding his book.
"This is nice of you."
"No problem, I was going to head there anyway, I was at the library all day."
"Really? I was at the Quidditch pit."
"You play really good." Jaci blushed.
"You think so?"
"Yeah, I do, you're the best keeper we've had." Remus looked down at her and smiled.
"You're just saying that," Jaci mumbled, looking down and blushing. Remus stopped walking and lifted her chin so she looked at him.
"No I'm not," he whispered. Jaci's eyes grew wide, his face was inches away from hers, and she wished that he would kiss her. Remus' breath hitched as he realized the same thing.
Slowly Remus lowered his lips onto hers. Jaci sighed, he was so gentle as if he wanted to make sure he didn't hurt her. His lips were so soft on hers. Jaci hesitantly put her arms around his neck, the book lay on the floor where she had dropped it. Remus placed his hands on her waist and gently brought her closer.
When they pulled back for much needed breath, Jaci blushed again. Remus smiled. He hugged her gently.
"You have no idea how long I've wanted to do that," he whispered.
"Why didn't you?"
"Because I thought you didn't like me." Jaci pulled back to look him in the eye.
"Really?" he nodded. Jaci laughed. "I thought you didn't like me!" Remus laughed as well.
"I guess we've really wasted time huh?" Remus asked, Jaci nodded. He looked down at his feet for a second then looked back up at Jaci. "Jaci, you would—I mean if you wanted to—would you be my girlfriend?" Jaci smiled.
"I would like that." Remus looked up at her shocked.
"Really? You really want to be my girlfriend?" Jaci nodded. "Wow, I didn't think you'd say yes." Jaci smacked him on the head.
"Did I or did I not just finish telling you that I liked you?" Remus laughed. He hugged her.
"Come on, it'll be after hours soon, let's go to the Common Room," Remus said. Jaci nodded. She lifted the book up and Remus took her hand, Jaci blushed again.
Sirius, James, Kristie, and Becca looked up as they saw the Common Room door open. They stared with their mouths hanging open and eyes wide as they saw Jaci and Remus holding hands. They ran over to them.
"Wha-what are you doing?" Sirius asked Remus.
"It's called holding hands Sirius," Remus said smiling.
"But, but why are you doing it?" James asked. Remus and Jaci both laughed.
"Do you want to tell them Jaci?" Remus asked.
"I don't know, do you want to tell them?" Jaci asked. Remus laughed. They both turned to look at their friends.
"We're going out," they both said at the same time.
"WHAT?" Becca, Sirius, Kristie, and James yelled. Remus and Jaci burst out laughing once more.
"Remus, I'm going to go get ready for bed, I'll see you in a little while," Jaci said. She gave him a kiss on the cheek and walked upstairs. Becca and Kristie took off following her.
"What—what's going on Jaci?" Kristie asked her as Jaci got her things ready to go and take a shower.
"What do you mean?" Jaci asked, she began humming a song as she gathered her things. Kristie and Becca growled.
"You know bloody well what we mean!" Becca and Kristie yelled. Jaci laughed.
"Remus asked me to be his girlfriend and I said yes."
"There goes our plan," Becca muttered. Kristie smacked her on the head.
"Plan? Plan? What plan?" Jaci looked at both of them, and they looked down. She gasped. "You—you were trying to get me and him together weren't you?" Jaci glared at them. "You guys! You-you!" with that she stalked out of the room and to the Prefects bathroom where she showered, dressed, and brushed her teeth. She walked back out to find Remus. He was standing by the common room door. She smiled and ran over to him. He threw open his arms and hugged her tightly.
"Did you know—" they both started, they laughed.
"Ladies first," Remus said, tucking a piece of loose hair behind her ear.
"Did you know that Kristie and Becca were coming up with a plan to get us together?" Jaci asked him.
"Yes, and Sirius and James were in on it."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"Wow, they really wanted us to get together." Remus laughed. They walked into the Common Room hand in hand and sat by the window.
"Remus?"
"Hmm?" he looked up at her.
"What are you thinking about?" Jaci snuggled closer to him and put her head on his shoulder.
"You mainly, and the damn potions essay I have to turn in tomorrow." Jaci laughed.
"I'll help you with the essay, I love potions." Remus smiled.
"Sure, and I'll help you with Transfiguration."
"How'd you know I needed help in that?" Jaci asked him, looking at him curiously. He blushed.
"I dunno," he mumbled. Jaci laughed and kissed his cheek.
"I'll go get my books and stuff," Jaci said. She ran up the stair and to her bed. She began to collect her Potions book and Transfiguration notes. She stopped as she saw the Werewolves book that Remus had checked out.
She picked it up as well, so she could take it to him, but a note fell out, she looked down at it and picked it up. She unfolded it quickly.
Page 121, ask Dumbledore if that happens.
Page 130, will that happen to me?
Page 116, does that really happen? Do more research.
Page 171, does my snout really grow that big.
Page 190, what color is my fur?
Jaci looked at the note, she couldn't understand what he was saying, then she opened the book to page 121 and saw a horrifying picture of a werewolf dying because of a silver bullet. She looked down at the note in horror.
He's, he can't be a werewolf!
She put the note back in the book and hid the book under her bed. She quickly ran back down backstairs where Remus was sitting, he had his essay on his lap, the quill in between his teeth as he flipped through the potions book. Jaci laughed, he looked so cute! Remus looked up as he heard her laugh. He smiled, the quill still in his mouth and it made Jaci laugh more.
She walked over to him and spread her things out as well. Soon they were working side-by-side and they were done before eleven. Jaci sighed as she began to put her things away. Remus smiled.
"You look tired," he noted, he shifted closer to her. Jaci smiled.
"Yeah, sort of." She sighed as he stood up behind her. He began to massage her stiff shoulder.
"Wow, you're tense."
I wonder why.
"With classes starting again, who wouldn't?" Remus laughed. When he finished he moved to sit next to her again. He put his stuff away in his bag and her stuff in her bag.
"I'll walk you to your room," Remus said. Jaci smiled. She stood and he took her bag they walked upstairs.
