Remus and Katie walked through Hogsmeade hand in hand. Even though they had been together all morning, they still had plenty to talk about. Remus couldn't believe how much they had in common; it was even better than talking to the other Marauders.
"You want to go to Madam Puddifoot's and get a coffee?" Remus asked, as it started to drizzle.
"Sure!" she said brightly, and they headed down the side road to the coffee shop. They were a few feet from the door when they heard their names and stopped dead in their tracks.
"We can't mention any of this around Katie, now that she's dating Lupin, we have to be 100% sure she won't find out…"
They looked over and saw some of Katie's fellow Gryffindor sixth years huddled together in an alley to the right.
"Over here," Remus whispered, pulling Katie over behind a tree where he was sure the girls wouldn't see them.
"Katie wouldn't sell us out," a short, plump girl with curly brown hair said sternly.
"Don't be so naive, Alana. I mean, I know Katie's one of us, but Remus is their best friend and Katie's obsessed with him. 'Remus is so hot, Remus is so sweet,' she never shuts up about him," a tall, thin girl with long black hair said disgustedly.
Katie flushed and looked down, mortified, but Remus grinned and placed a hand on her chin, bringing her face up to look at his, and gave her a quick kiss before turning back to the group of girls.
"Oh, shut up Britney, you're 100x worse when it comes to James. You worship the ground he walks on." Alana spat.
Remus suddenly realized who the tall girl with the long black hair was. Britney Kay, James' ex-girlfriend, who, like every other girl James had dumped after he had gotten them into bed, was still in love with him. Remus also recognized another one of the girls in the group who he hadn't noticed before because she hadn't said anything yet. Ashley DiSanto, Britney's best friend, who Sirius had done the same thing to as James had done to Britney. And as always, Ashley was still madly in love with Sirius. Remus looked around the group and realized that either Sirius or James had slept with and then dumped every single girl in this group. "Wow, they really are pricks," he thought to himself.
"Yes, because I love James," Britney hissed back, "and I know he loves me, Evans is just getting in the way. So that's why we've decided to get rid of her."
Katie gasped, horrified that her friends would be planning something like this, but Remus put a hand over her mouth to silence her, because he wanted to hear the rest of the conversation.
"And how exactly are you going to do that? You're not going to physically hurt her are you?" a pretty girl with wavy blonde hair asked Britney, looking anxious.
"Well, I was thinking of drinking some polyjuice potion with Evans' hair in it, and asking James if I could sleep in his bed tonight. He'll say yes of course, thinking it's her. I'll find a way to get her into the room before James wakes up, and by then the potion will have worn off so she'll walk in on us in bed together."
"And how do you know the real Lily won't walk be with him tonight?" Ashley asked, skeptically.
"I heard her and Newman talking, they're having a girls night and told James and Sirius to stay away till tomorrow morning."
"And where are you going to get Polyjuice potion? It takes a month to make," the blonde girl asked.
"You know that ugly Slytherin git, Snape? I talked to him this morning, and he gave me some. He said he would usually never help a Gryffindor, but he'd do anything to hurt James."
"And if you love him so much, why the fuck would you want to hurt him? He'll hate you when he wakes up and finds you next to him." Alana said.
"We'll he'll hate me for awhile, but I know that after some time he'll realize how much better off he is without her and he'll love me for getting rid of that mudblood."
At those words, Katie broke free from Remus' grip and jumped out from behind the tree. Remus groaned and jumped out after her, incase the other girls got mad and attacked her. "You low-life bitch!" she screamed furiously, "You're so fucking pathetic! You're willing to ruin other people's lives just for your own fucking happiness."
"Sorry to ruin it for you," Remus hissed, just as mad. "But you're never going to get away with this. James loves Lily, not you. He used you because he knew you're an easy hoe."
"James will realize he loves me, even if it takes a little persuasion," Britney grinned.
"Persuasion?" Remus asked, "you're not actually going to use a love potion or the Imperious curse are you? Because that's pretty fucking sad that you have to resort to screwing with his mind to get him to return your feelings."
"Well, I know you'd just love to know, but I just can't let you ruin this for me." She said, inching towards them. She stopped a few feet away from them, then suddenly whipped out her wand and screamed "OBLIVIATE!"
Remus blinked, dazed and confused. He had no idea where he was or what he was doing. He looked around and saw that he was in an alleyway, hand in hand with Katie, and surrounded by all of her friends. The last thing he remembered was him and Katie walking down to Madam Puddifoots.
"The Full Moon's coming, I must just be really tired," he thought to himself, trying to explain his sudden memory lapse.
"Ok, well we're gonna get going," Britney said sweetly, snapping Remus out of his thoughts. He looked over at Katie, and noticed that she looked pretty confused too. "Have fun you two!" She called back as she and her friends walked away towards the main road of Hogsmeade.
"Ok, erm, let's go then, shall we?" he asked tentatively.
"Oh, right, ok," Katie said, and they headed in the opposite direction of the group of girls, neither having any idea of what was going on, but trying not to show it.
