Jaci backed away, still holding her arms, blood spilling all over her robes, and tears rolling down her face from the pain, but the tears were silent. She saw a change in Remus' eyes, and saw how his eyes went wide. He got back down on all fours, and looked down at the ground. Jaci took this opportunity to turn on her heels and make a mad dash for the castle.
Remus watched Jaci run away from him, blood flying off her robes, spattering the ground. He saw her run through the doors inside the castle. When he couldn't hear her pounding footsteps and heavy breathing from within the castle, he walked pitifully back to the Shrieking Shack and flopped down onto the ground where he didn't move, not for anything for the next five days.
Jaci ran to the Hospital wing and roused Madam Pomfrey, who mended her cut without question, at first. When Jaci was fine and healed Madam Pomfrey poured her a glass of pumpkin juice and sat her down.
"Now, what happened Miss Leza?' she asked quietly.
"Nothing, I just—had an accident." Madam Pomfrey sighed. She knew that she wouldn't be able to get anything out of the girl.
"All right then."
Jaci looked up, it was Monday, meaning that the last full moon was last night, meaning that Remus would be back in classes today. She shuddered at the thought and ran her hand down her left arm. She looked up as she heard Sirius, James, and Peter talking they glanced at her. Jaci snapped, she was pissed she wanted answers.
She stood and walked over to them. They all looked up at her and she was about to open her mouth to speak when the doors to the Great Hall opened and they all looked up. Remus was walking in.
Jaci felt every bone in her body freeze and her eyes went wide with fear, before the guys could do anything, she turned on her heel and ran. Remus saw her, and he began to chase her.
Jaci ran faster and faster to the Hogwarts grounds. But she could hear Remus' pounding feet right behind her. She kicked it into high gear, but it was no use. Remus had tackled her from behind and they both went rolling to the ground.
"Get away from me!" Jaci yelled. Remus growled.
"No, not until we talk."
"I have nothing to say to you!"
"Well, then don't say anything, I'll talk to you listen."
"Leave me alone!"
"No!"
"Oh I get it so now you want to finish the job you did last week, go ahead, cut me up!" Remus winced.
"That's not fair."
"Then tell me Remus what is fair huh?" Jaci asked him. She freed herself from his grasp and stood up, Remus followed her. "I'm getting sick and tired of this and I wish it would all just go away."
"You want me to go away?"
"Of course I want you to go away! You fucking attacked me, you didn't tell me the truth!"
"And what was I supposed to tell you? Huh? Oh Jaci you have wonderful eyes and by the way I just happen to be a fucking werewolf? That would have been great!" Remus shouted.
"Don't you dare yell at me Remus Lupin!" Remus glared at her.
"I can do what I want."
"Fine, do what you want, I'm leaving." Jaci turned around and began to walk back to the castle, Remus growled.
"Damn it Jaci! I love you, I love you so much and it hurt me that I was hurting you, but what could I do?" Jaci stopped walking, but she didn't turn to face him. "How could I stop myself? I'm a werewolf ok? I'm a werewolf and I couldn't control myself, but now I will be." Since Jaci didn't move, Remus continued. "They found this potion that will let me keep my mind when I transform." Jaci stayed silent. Remus walked up to her.
Jaci could feel Remus right behind her, but she didn't do anything at all. "Jaci, please, you have to give me another chance. You have to let me show you that I wont hurt you anymore. I never wanted to hurt you, ever Jaci." Remus gently put his arms around her waist and brought her closer. Jaci was still stiff, but at least she was letting him hold her. "I love you Jaci, for the past six years, since that first time I saw you sit on that stool as a first year and put the Sorting Hat on you had me mesmerized."
Jaci couldn't believe what she was hearing, he loved her? Her Jaci Leza, he was in love with her? She took in a deep breath and let it out slowly.
"You love me?" she whispered.
"Yes, you have no idea how much." Jaci turned in his arms to look at him.
"Why? Why do you love me?"
"I don't know, I just do." Jaci kissed him gently.
Kristie looked up as Sirius walked over to her. She rolled her eyes and looked back down at her book. But Sirius grabbed her by the shoulders and turned her around.
"What the—" she was cut off by Sirius' lips covering hers in a long and mind numbing kiss.
"I'm sorry I hurt you, I'm sorry I was an ass, but I like you Kristie, I think I even love you, please, please don't be mad at me anymore, I'll do anything, anything—" Sirius was cut off by Kristie's lips on his.
Becca looked up as James came towards her, she didn't move, just waited for him to come and talk to her.
"Listen Becca, I'm sorry if I hurt you-" Becca held up her hand.
"You love Lily, and I accept your apology, now go and find her." James nodded. He stood and kissed her cheek.
"You're the best Becca and one day, you're going to make a lucky guy really happy I hope I'll be there to witness it." Becca smiled up at James.
Remus looked at Jaci, he held her tighter. She sighed and placed her head on his chest. Remus grinned he turned his head so he could put his cheek on her hair. Jaci's arms wrapped around his neck.
"I love you Remus," Jaci said. Remus' eyes went wide. He pulled back slightly.
"You do?"
"Yes, I do." Remus grinned. They both looked up as they heard thunder. Suddenly the clouds opened up and rain poured down on them. Jaci looked up at Remus and laughed. Remus smiled.
Surprisingly the water was warm they raised their faces up to the clouds to watch it pour down. Remus brought Jaci closer and looked down at her, she looked beautiful dripping wet, all her hair falling down as it pleased, being tossed by the breeze that was being thrown around in the rain. Jaci looked at Remus and caught her breath.
He looked like a prince from a fairy tale, standing there gazing at her with his big brown eyes and golden hair. And then Jaci smiled because he was her prince, her wolf prince. She stepped back slightly, to get a better look of him. Yes, defiantly something out of a fairy tale.
Remus smiled down at her. She looked wonderful, so beautiful covered in the rain's sweet and warm water. He slowly lowered his lips down to meet hers in a long lingering kiss. Jaci sighed and wrapped her arms around him tightly to bring him closer. Remus growled in a very wolfish way and it made Jaci laugh. Remus blushed and stepped back slightly.
"Don't stop," Jaci said, bringing him closer. He wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her again. He groaned as her hands began to run through his hair and down his back.
"Jaci we'd better stop and get inside, I think classes started about five minutes ago," Remus said, breathing heavily. Jaci sighed.
"I suppose you're right," she said, she laid her head on his chest; she smiled as she heard his heart beating as loudly as hers. She squealed suddenly as Remus lifted her into his arms and carried up the steps to the castle.
Later that night, Jaci and Remus snuck down to the Hogwarts grounds. Remus held her hand. It had stopped raining during the afternoon and everything smelled wet and like rain, it was wonderful. Remus spread out a blanket near a wall of trees that would block them from the view of Hogwarts and Jaci sat while he laid down and placed his head on her lap.
Jaci sighed and stroked his hair gently. Remus nudged her hand to continue stroking his face and she smiled. Remus opened his eyes and gazed up at her. He sat up suddenly and kissed her gently. Jaci wrapped her arms around his neck and laid down, with him on top of her.
"Jaci—we should stop," Remus gasped out about five minutes later. Jaci shook her head. "Jaci, I'm going to lose control." He groaned as Jaci began to kiss his neck.
"Then lose it," she whispered into his ear. He looked at her, eyes wide opened and shocked.
"What?"
"Lose your control Remus," Jaci whispered, kissing his neck again. Remus growled and Jaci grinned.
It was the last day of school and Remus had no idea what he was going to say to Jaci or how they were going to be. He walked over to her; she was standing with a crowd of Gryffindor girls.
"Excuse me ladies, I need to borrow Jaci for a moment," Remus said. The girls grinned as Remus led Jaci away. Jaci smiled up at him.
"Yes Remus?"
"We have to talk Jaci." She nodded. They went and sat on a bench. Remus took a deep breath.
"You don't have to stay with me, you're leaving and I'm staying, I understand." Jaci said quietly. Remus looked at her shocked.
"What?"
"I love you Remus and this year, God it's one I wont forget, but you're going to go your way and me my way, I love you Remus." With that Jaci kissed him and ran off.
Remus never chased after her or followed her, and now he regretted it deeply.
