Chapter 4: Friends with wolves
Eltanin sniffed while running down the hallway barley containing her tears. Running up a few random stairs she saw a portrait of a lady in a pink dress. Stopping for a second to stare the portrait it spoke to her.
"Password?"
She said the first thing that came to mind, "Codswallop."
The portrait swung forward and with little notice to her surroundings she entered the room behind it. She took a flight of stairs to the top and went into the only room there.
One bed decked out in gold and red hangings and bedspread. There was a door at the end of the room that she found, upon inspection, to be a small bathroom. Not caring whose room it was she flopped on the bed and cried to her hearts content. After she was trough she stared blankly out the window.
Remus entered his room unnoticed by the sad girl. He sat on his bed getting her attention.
"Hi," he said calmly.
"What do you want?" she snapped in an attempt to avoid company.
"To be your friend," he chuckled, "that and to inform you that this is my room."
"Oh." she looked down for a second before letting her eyes rest on his, "I thought werewolves where too afraid to make friends."
"I thought any Dumbledore would be well mannered. People are wrong sometimes," he shrugged. "Friends?" he said holding out his hand.
She shook it and smiled, "Friends. By the way, you can call me Nin."
"So Nin," he said testing out the name, "how'd you figure out about my condition?"
"Oh that was easy." She waved her hand about as though trying to brush any doubt about her intelligence, "Attacking me last night informed me there was a wolf around, I could tell that you where a student by the youth, plus you coming into breakfast late, pale, tired and slightly scruffy, normal end moon cycle symptoms. But what really got me were your eyes. I'll never forget your eyes. Like liquid gold pools with swirls of ember, way to easy to lose oneself in."
He shook his head smiling, "you know normally I don't remember much about my transformations, but I remember you. You sing beautifully."
She blushed and muttered in an almost incoherent voice, "thank you."
"So, what brings you to my humble abode?" Remus asked cheerfully.
"Life," she said pulling out her pack of cigarettes.
Remus snatched them away, "I don't care if you screw up your lungs but you will not do it in my room." He tossed them out the window and with a quick, "Incendio," they where no more.
"I, you, but," she stuttered. "That was mine! I need that! I didn't bring anymore! You," by this time the corner of her right eye was twitching with anger and disbelief, "I'm restraining from killing you."
"We're friends now, babe-" Remus started before she cut him off.
"No, no, NO! We are not friends, you are delusional." She huffed mater-of- factly.
"We shook on it."
"I hate you," Nin stated plainly.
"Good to know. Now as I was saying, we're friends you know what they say about friends?"
"Friends help friends move. REAL friends help friends move bodies."
Remus quirked an eyebrow at her before continuing, "Friends don't let friends get hurt, smoking will hurt you, and killing me will hurt me."
"Screw you."
"You wanna shake on that too?" He grinned.
She sent him a glare before laughing. "Spoken like any good guy. Since I have no simple distraction from life now, what do you do for fun around here?"
Remus looked at the ceiling innocently, "Just pranks and mischief, nothing unusual."
She looked at his attempt at innocent, "And you're the Head boy? Does this school have no control?"
Remus smirked. "M'Lady, I would like to show you how we control this school but the matter is strictly forbidden." He kissed her hand and she giggled, " We shall give you a demonstration later, I promise."
"We?"
"Another thing I am not allowed to disclose. Though tempted as I may be by your lovely face."
Eltanin snorted with laughter before going full out and laughing till she fell off the bed. From the ground she got a few words in between her breathing attempts and laughter. "Me, lovely, British, snog!"
A knock came from the open door as a tall black haired boy entered, "What'd you do to her Moony?" he said looking at the laughing girl.
She sat up and leaned against Remus's trunk clutching her side with laughter. "Snog," was all she got out before bursting into giggles again.
Remus looked at her oddly, "She was down so I did an simple cheering charm while kissing her hand and she just burst into laughter."
"That's not what she said," the boy grinned.
It took a few minuets for Eltanin to figure out who he was as she stared at him for a bit completely calm. Then she burst into laughter once again, "Si- Sirius! What person in their right mind would name their child Sirius? You're parent's where probably more of nutcases than mine!" at this thought all her laughter stopped. Her face grew solemn and her manner screamed teenage angst.
"Did I do something, Remy? Cause your cheering charm didn't last that long." Sirius kept his eyes on the girl in front of him who seemed to have regained composure and was in the process of standing up.
She waved her hand slightly getting their attention, "Nobody's fault 'cept mine. I have a habit of breaking cheering charms. Just have to think of something sad. Anyway since this is such a nice room and we're friends and what not," she batted her eyes at Remus, "you wouldn't mind if I lived here for the rest of my stay would you?"
Remus only blinked before she jumped up and hugged him professing her many thanks. Sirius just snickered.

AN: I HAVE NO REAL HOPE! Okay, now that I'm done screaming over my horrible story and it's lack of reviews (probably due to lack of readers), I would like to thank one very strange person. Songelf88 and her muse G.H.S. the warg. Songelf is the only person yet so far to give me more than one review. An amazing accomplishment I assure you. Where was I? Oh yes. I dedicate. nothing to no one so get no hopes. Love ya songelf.
