Chapter Four----Remus' PoV:
I sat, huddled up in the corner, thinking about what to do with Sirius. Sure, he'd probably never have feelings for me, and sure, he'd probably bring the most beautiful girl in the entire school as his date, but that was no reason to get discouraged, right?
Just then, the phone rang, startling me. After a quick jump, I stood silently and moved over to the phone, answering with a, "Hello?"
"Have you tied your shoes lately?" a mysterious voice asked.
"Hello? Have I tied my what?" There was a click and the line went silent. I shrugged and returned the phone to its hook.
Remembering a job I had to finish I picked the phone back up and begun dialing before I got any doubts. He picked up on the second ring,
"H-h-h-h-h-hello?"
"Wormtail?" I asked, knowing it was him.
"M-M-Moony? T-That y-you?" His squeaky voice startled me. I hadn't heard it since we had graduated school last June--he was going to school in Albania. He was always high-pitched, but it sounded like someone had a hold on him in a very delicate place! (A/N: You can thank my cousin for that one! *Rolls eyes*)
"Yeah, Pete. Can you Floo here? I need you to do something for me…" Without question, he agreed and he was here within a matter of moments.
"Thank you for coming. Y'see… There's this party tonight. I wanna impress this… girl…" He squeaked quietly. I sighed impatiently, knowing I didn't have much time left before the festivities. "What is it?"
"Ahem… a… a… g-girl? I always… y-y-y-y'know… th-th-th-thought you w-were… g-g-gay…" I gathered that my eyes flung out of my skull, so he decided to explain, "Y-Y-You were a-a-a-always staring a-a-a-a-at S-S-S-Sirius!"
I blushed ferociously. "Alright, Wormtail! Yes, I'm gay. Although, I've only had feeling for Sirius. I dunno why, an' I dunno how, but it's true. And tonight, I am going to turn eighteen. I need to mate!" I growled, imagining myself ravishing my pup. Our ratty-friend paled immensely, causing me to return to my reddening-state.
"M-M-Mate?" He looked as though he was about to pass out, so I fought to control the wolf trapped inside me.
"Erm. Sorry, mate." I slapped myself inside for my wording and quickly muttered an apology. He nodded and feigned a smile.
"Y-yes… what d-d-did you n-n-need my help w-with?"
"About that… in order to… attract our dear Padfoot, I need to impress him… I need you to do my… makeup…"
"M-M-Makeup?" He squealed, sounding both nervous and excited.
"Yes?" I looked sheepish, trying to hide the excitement in my pants that had formed while I had been thinking about my future mate.
"Hm, y-yes, I guess I c-c-can help y-you…"
"Just the basics?" I asked, hoping this would take as little time as possible.
"J-j-just the basics-s-s-s-s…" His stutter was reminiscent of a distant memory, but I couldn't grasp of what.
I nodded and magicked the necessities, sitting in a comfortable seat. His shaky hands approached my face, his fingers lacing through my premature-greying hair. "Just st-st-stay st-st-still…" I did as I was told, relaxing in my chair and trying not to notice the jagged streaks marking my face.
After about a half-hour of pure hellish torture, I felt his hands leave my head. I reached for the mirror on the table beside me, gazing at his work. I gasped.
My eyes, normally a brilliant shade of amber, were now dulled by a pattern of choppy silver lines layering my eyelids. My cheeks looked too red, now brushed with a bright blush. My lips were a soft pink color that reminded me of dress my mum used to wear at funerals. (A/N: This has some truth to it. The color. The dress. Just not the person.)
Peter must've taken my gasp as one of delight, because he absolutely LIT up with joy. "You l-l-like?!" I nodded, unable to speak such lies to one of my close friends. (A/N: LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIES! LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIES! [Don't ask. Please.] /_p\ [My demented face. Don't ask.] (-.^)/(\/) --VICTORY NEKO!)
"I… I have to finish getting ready… So… thank you…" I gulped, trying not to vomit right then and there.
"Oh, y-y-yes. I m-must go, anyw-w-ways…" He smiled, obviously pleased with my make-up. 'Not me!'
I stood up and quickly rushed him to the fireplace, hoping it wouldn't take me long to remove this mess on my face. He waved, before squeaking loudly, as a green fire took him back to his dorm.
I sighed and sat back down, mesmerized by the gunk (A/N: 0,o…? Gunk? *Shrugs* I 'unno. All I know is that it's a word, and it sounds good, and if that… that stuff was all over MY beeyooooooo-tee-ful face, I'd call it 'gunk', too! ^___^). Taking out my cherry-wood wand, I muttered a simple 'Clean-Up' spell, the horrid "make-up" disappearing from my pale complexion. "Much better," I murmured.
'Not much time left, Rem… Best get going…' I raised myself sluggishly from the comfort of the chair, hoping… wishing… wanting… NEEDING this night to go well. As I pulled the blue and silver costume over my Muggle clothes, thoughts and prayers rushed through my mind. 'Please, God. Let this go well. You've cursed me all my life. You've taken everyone I've loved from me. Let him be the one. Let him be everything. Let him be for me. Don't take Sirius from me now……………………………………………'
(A/N: Yeah! Chapter Four----RE-TYPED! The last part is from memory. If I ever find the first copy of this, I'm replacing it. 'cause the ending was worded better. But, right now, it's 12:58AM and I have to be in bed by 1AM… I need to re-read this and fix stuff. No beta-chan for THIS fic! Help? Shang, I'd rather you write up YOUR chapter 5! heh-heh. WRITE!!! [And everyone, read her awesome Invader Zim fic! It's soooo great! And we should all love SH! *Holds up her "I love SH" and "I am SH's Biggest Fan" signs* It's called "Rough Road to Self Awareness"… and also read "Dishwasher"… 'cause it's soooo funny! ^.^ Yeah! GO, SHANG-GIRL!]
Alright, so this is slightly angsty, but I tried to make it kinda funny. *Shrugs* Please review. You should know, by this point in the fic, how much I love my reviewers. And in case you haven't read, if you review the last chapter, I'll give you a preview of 'The Epilogue'! Dun-Dun-DUUUN! And I also decided, the more chapters you review, the more of a preview you get. ^___^ It doesn't matter to me if you flame me or love me, as long as you press the little button an' type a reply! I'm not picky, just psycho! (AHHHHHHH! YEAH!!!!! "S" IS FOR PSYCHO!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Thanks in advance to all reviewers! And if I missed you this chapter, I am SOOOO sorry! ^___^ You'll be on the list by the end!!! hehe. ^___^ I love you guys soooo much! *Mwah*
