The Maurderers and their Maidens
Chapter One Moonlit Chat
It was a very cold, windy night. Moony's heart was pounding in his chest just as the waves were crashing onto the shore.
'Will she show up?' He thought to himself.
'I only have on night left before.'
'Of coarse she's going to show up stupid! She's not a heartless do-do like Padfoot!'
'Yeah. you're right! I should stop worrying!'
'Damn right you should! It's not like it's the end of the world! She's just a girl!'
"She's not just a girl! She's the most wonderful girl any guy could wish for! Any guy would be lucky to have her!" He said allowed.
"You better be talking about me!" Natasha was walking up to him, Remus turned around.
"Oh. I didn't see you coming."
"That's OK. You never have." She giggled, and he smiled at her. She sat down next to him, and looked out into the water.
"The water's really blue tonight,' she said.
"Yeah."
She looked up into the sky and saw that the moon was almost full. "You anxious for tomorrow?" she asked him.
"Kind of. but it's nothing I'm not used to already," he paused for a second, and looked forward, into the ocean. "You know, sometimes I really wish that I was a normal human. I mean, I have nothing against being a werewolf, but sometimes I wish that I didn't have to go through this."
They were silent for a couple of minutes.
"So. who's taking you to the ball tomorrow night?" He asked her.
"No one. I'm not going"
"Why not?"
"Because I can't go with you."
"Natasha-"
She cut him off. "I mean, there's no point in going to such a special event when I cant be with the person that I want to share that really special night with because he cant be there and I would hate to go and leave him all alone and-" she cut herself off. "What I mean to say is that if I were to go with anyone, then it would be with you. Otherwise I don't want to go at all."
"You don't have to do that. I mean, there are probably plenty of other guys who would be willing to take you!"
"But I'm not willing to go with them," she said softly to herself.
"I heard that Tasha," he said to her. "And I don't want you discouraging yourself just because you feel bad for me!"
"That's not why I don't want to go."
"Then why?" he asked her.
"Because," she looked him straight in the eye. "I am in love with you."
He stared back at her, and then leaned over and kissed her.
"I am in love with you too."
She smiled at him, and leaned over to kiss him again. Once she lifted her face away from his, she softly said, "Can I come with you tomorrow night?"
"How can you?" He asked. "You don't have an animagus form, and I have no way of knowing who you are. How will I know better then to attack you?"
"Moony." She paused. "There is something I should tell you."
"What?" He looked at her.
Her body began to shrink, and her spine curved. Her hands and feet began to sprout claws, and on the top of her head, two ears popped out. Her body began to grow fur, and within thirty seconds she had transformed herself into a cat
Moony stared at her with his mouth wide open.
"Why didn't you tell me?" He asked, sounding a bit hurt.
She formed back into a human
"I didn't feel comfortable enough around you yet. I mean- I'm unregistered, and although I knew that I could trust you, I still didn't want to tell you," she paused. "Then I started growing closer to you, and I knew that I was falling for you, but I still didn't want to tell you. But before I knew it, I was falling madly in love with you, and I knew that I had to tell you sooner or later. I knew you would be mad that I haven't told you until now, but I hope you can understand."
"I can believe that you didn't tell me!" He raged. "I thought you trusted me! I trusted you! I told you that I was a werewolf! I told you about Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs! I told you everything about me and my life!"
"I'm sorry Remus! I didn't mean to hurt you! I just wasn't ready!" Tears began to swell up in her eyes. "I thought you would understand.
He looked at her, and then realized how stupid he was being. "I'm sorry. Of course I understand. What kind of boyfriend would I be if I didn't?" He smiled at her, and then kissed her. "So. what were you saying about tomorrow night? You want to escort me to the Whomping Willow?" She smiled at him, and nodded. "Well of course you can! I would be more then happy to have you come with me!"
They both laughed, then he helped her up, and they made their way back to the castle.
