A/N: Okay, well, thank you to my first review, javabookie22! You're
support has helped me get through this chapter. I thank you so much for
letting me know that someone out there likes this. I'm sure I'll have fun
writing the rest of this. Also, I have now decided how I am going to do
this. "Bring Me To Life" will be part one in a two-part story. This is
during MWPP time, and the second part will be in HP time. So, now that
that's done, on with the story:

Bring Me To Life
Chapter 2: Secrets Exchanged
"I need to talk to you," Remus whispered during one evening of group study. Gipsy nodded.
"When," she whispered back. Remus thought.
"Tomorrow night, at seven here, in the library," he replied.
"Okay," Gipsy said. She went back to her Arithmancy book. They were all in seventh year now, and James and Lily were Head Boy and Girl. The rest of them, with the exception of Peter, were prefects. Together, they created a large study group, with students from all houses in the library Sunday and Monday nights, and sometimes on Wednesdays or Fridays, like tonight. At eight, Madame Pince shoved them all out yet again, though some students stayed and conversed right outside for another half-hour at least.
Gipsy went straight up to her dormitory after wishing everyone goodnight. She lay awake and thought of what Remus was going to say. So many things whirled through her head. There was the possibility that he would ask for a date, which she was more than willing to give. She had developed a kind of crush on him during the past few years. He was kind, funny, good- looking, intelligent, all the good qualities she looked for in guys, though she had had very little success in her endeavors, her least being Severus Snape.

Remus paced the library almost an hour before he was to meet Gipsy. He had barely eaten anything, his mind nowhere near here except when he thought of Gipsy. True, he adored her. The way she moved, the way she danced, he loved everything about her. But this wasn't about her completely. He felt the need to tell her his darkest secret, the one only his closest friends knew.
Gipsy came a few minutes early, as she noticed Remus had left early and was distracted all day. She abandoned her dinner salad and came up to the library.
"Are you all right?" she asked as she saw him. They embraced, as was their custom for the past year. Remus nodded, and the two of them sat down in a secluded area near the infinitesimal fiction section of the library.
"I am fine, but I need to tell you something," he said, looking around to make sure no one would hear them. Gipsy leaned in so that he would not have to speak too loudly. "I'm sure you've taken notice of my absences every month." He paused as Gipsy nodded. "And while I feel horrible about it, I have lied to you about my whereabouts." Gipsy almost smiled to herself, knowing what was coming.
"I don't know whether or not you've figured it out. No doubt a girl of your intelligence would've realized it by now, after more than six years of friendship. But, if you haven't, you should know that....I....am....a......werewolf." Gipsy nodded, not saying anything for the moment. "So, what do you think?"
"I think it's time that you know my own secret," she stated simply. Remus looked at her with interest. "I am a Human Phoenix. Perhaps you may have noticed that I do not eat meat, or that I am rather good at singing?" Remus nodded, understanding. "As for your being a werewolf, I had deduced it, since you are such a horrible liar," at this she looked into his face and smiled, "and I had been noting when you left. I just thought that if you didn't want anyone to know, than it wasn't my place to interfere. But, it's kinda hard to keep something like that from someone who cares for you." Her pink cheeks became pinker. Remus looked at her, thinking.
"Well," he said, his voice somewhat awkward, "perhaps we should get going. Madame Pince will be around to extinguish the candles anytime now." Gipsy nodded and stood up. They exited the library together, but though their dormitories were in different directions, Remus walked Gipsy towards the Ravenclaw common room. They stopped a hallway before the Astronomy wizard's statue. They turned to each other, but instead of hugging each other, their lips met. They hesitated, but Remus stepped in to make the kiss deeper. Gipsy's right hand found his left, and she put her left hand on his shoulder. After a few seconds they broke apart, and smiled bashfully. They said goodnight, and went on to their respective common rooms.
That night, Gipsy could not stop smiling. She sat up; awake at two o'clock in the morning, thinking of the events of the night. Meanwhile, Remus slowly made his way to the Gryffindor common room and sat down in a chair staring at the fire, not noticing time passing by, a slight smile playing on his lips. He fell asleep in the chair and was awoken by James Potter at six in the morning, coming down for Quidditch practice.
"Did you make it a late night, Moony?" James said, grinning. Remus blinked awake.
"I guess I did," he replied vaguely. James chuckled.
"See you after practice," he said, and went out the portrait-hole. Remus shook his head, and tried to go back to sleep, but was woken up again by Sirius.
"What're you doing down here," he said with a hint of concern. Remus shrugged.
"I told her last night," he replied. Sirius nodded.
"What did she say?"
"She said that she had deduced it before, but hadn't said anything because it was my business, and if I didn't want anyone to know, than that was okay," he said.
"There's something else," Sirius said. "You're not giving up details." Remus smiled mischievously.
"That's for me to know, and you to guess," he said. Sirius laughed.
"Moony got some last night," Sirius laughed and danced.
"Don't be so juvenile," Remus said, rolling his eyes, but he couldn't help laughing.
********* A/N: So, that's chapter 2! Perhaps even more slow, but it serves as a step up. This will only be a couple of chapters, but it will get more interesting, I promise. As always, read and review! Thanks again to javabookie22! My advice to you is to not worry about what people say. Write for yourself, and if people like it, even better. That's all I can say. Thanks!
