The Long Awaited Day (part 2)

Bec POV

As Sirius and the boys made their way to the table everyone gave them evil looks. Not like Sirius didn't deserve it, I believe he did. He didn't even talk to Em, or try to talk to Em. But it's my fault as well. Sirius did it for me, I just know it. He is in love with me, and I think I have been in love with him since 1st year. Love hurts and life sucks right now.

"Um….can we sit here?" asked a shaky looking Peter, with a surly looking Remus following him. James and Sirius decided to sit by themselves, at the other end of the table.

"Sure Pete!" replied Em cheerfully "Such a lovely morning don't you think. Just look at the ceiling"

All of our heads turned upwards to see a dark and gloomy sky. As we lowered our heads we saw Em, head in hands, sobbing.

As she raised her head we could see tears rolling down her cheeks "I guess the cheering charm wore off" she sighed and continued to sob "By the way, Daddy said I have to go home this Christmas Break. He said he's found the perfect suitor for his ickle babykins! ME" with the last word said, she straightened up and walked out of the Great Hall. All eyes following her, except mine and Sirius'.

"I'll make sure she's alright" offered Bella as she stood up and followed her best friend.

"So….what are you guys doing for Christmas break?" asked Lily, hoping to find a subject that had nothing to do with Em or Sirius.

"Mum said she was feeling lonely, so I guess I'll go home for break" explained Peter.

"No full moon, so I guess I'll go home" said Remus, keeping his surly look "I miss my parents, and I miss spending Christmas with them. I haven't spent Christmas with them since 3rd year. Every other year there has been a full moon during break."

"I thought you said you could transform at home, you said that they'd keep you in one of those, um, what you call it?" I paused, then looked up and saw Lily looking at me oddly. Oh no, Lily didn't know.

"Sorry, but did I just miss something?" interrupted Lily.

"Uh, oh" squeaked Peter, then he turned to Remus. For the first time that morning Remus seemed alive and his face was no longer surly or gloomy. It was alert and aware.

"Lily, I think you should ask James. He'll tell you everything. I think I should have told you earlier, but I couldn't" Remus said "I'm sorry I can't tell you myself."

Remus stood up, forgetting his book bag, and walked out of the Great Hall.

"Bec!" inquired Lily as she waved her arms in front of my eyes "If you're listening I'm going over to Sirius and James"

"You know what?" asked a watery eyed Peter "Three of our friends have walked out on breakfast, Lily just walked away from us and, James and Sirius won't sit with us. Could this morning be anymore better?" Peter followed the example lead by Em. He stood up and walked out of the Hall.

I was alone.

"Is this seat taken?" asked a deep voice, a familiar voice.

I turned around quickly, staring down at me was Sirius. "No" I replied. Sirius sat next to me, none of us daring to look at the other.

"James is telling Lily about Remus. If I know Lily, she'll react like you. She won't care about it, she'll probably join you and Remus in the library" with this he laughed a little "How's Em?"

"Sirius" I said seriously "You should really talk to her. She needs an explanation. But I don't think she needs to know the truth" I paused. I can't believe what I just said. 'I don't think she needs to know the truth'. What am I thinking?

"Bec" he replied seriously "I agree" a long silence followed his words. Finally, the nagging feeling in my heart triumphed over the sensibility in my head.

"Sirius, what is the truth?" I asked.

Sirius' brow furrowed and he became silent. "The truth is this" we raised our heads at the same time, eyes locking. "I'm in love with my first kiss."

The way he said it was short and sweet. But most importantly, it was the truth. I was right. He was in love with me. One thing that is eating me up inside is whether it is bad or good. And whether me loving him would make a difference.

"She loves you too" I replied, knowing perfectly well that my actions would have repercussions "I mean, your first kiss. She loves you, she's loved you ever since you kissed her" I paused to grab his hand underneath the table "I've loved you ever since first year"

Unexpectedly he let go of my hand and looked straight ahead. I tore my eyes away from his and looked straight ahead as well To my horror stood Remus.

I jumped up from my seat "Remus!" I said breathlessly.

He smiled and picked up his book bag "Forgot my books" he leaned across the table, took hold of my shoulders and sat me back down on the seat.

"Rebeccah Reynolds" he said, while looking from Sirius to me "Are you in love with Sirius?"

I looked at Sirius. He merely smiled and looked at Remus. I looked at Remus. He continued to smile and looked at Sirius. Both boys had a smile on their faces, both boys were driving me crazy.

"Did I miss something?" I asked, but they both laughed.

"Rebeccah darling, don't look so guilty" Remus told me "Bec, seriously, you don't have to feel bad or anything. I was planning on talking to you about us today. We never really did have a proper discussion about what we were. And I think we both feel the same way about our relationship and each other. We're friends and that's all"

"You mean-" I stammered out.

"Yes!" said Remus as if it were the most obvious thing in the world "It doesn't mean that I want to stop our library sessions. It's just that, I want you to have fun. I want you to live life to its fullest. I want you to fall in love. Well, I guess you already are" he laughed then looked at Sirius.

"Sirius promise me something" said Remus in a fatherly tone "Treat her right" With his last words said, Remus swung his book bag over his shoulder and exited the Great Hall for the second time that day.

"Bec, what are we supposed to do?" whispered Sirius.

"I'm not sure, um, let's just go to class." I suggested.

Lily POV

"James" I replied breathlessly "Poor thing. All these years, every full moon. James we need to find something, do something. We need to help him"

What else could I have said? I just found out that one of my best friends in the world was a werewolf. Remus was the sweetest and nicest boy ever. He didn't deserve this kind of life. This incomplete life.

"It's just not fair" I blurted out before I broke down crying.

"Lily" comforted James "Lily, we've tried. When we first found out we searched the library inside out, up and down. But we found nothing. What do you think Bec and Remus have been doing? They've been trying to find something, anything. Remus knows there's nothing to be found, but the only reason he still goes there is because of Bec. She won't give up. Lily stop crying. Please"

I stopped crying and looked him straight in the eye "James, I'm in love with you" I told him.

"I'm in love with you too" James confessed, a huge smile plastered on his face.

"Oh no!" I moaned as I buried myself in his arms "I just told you. Why did I have to tell you like this? It was totally off the subject. It wasn't the right moment. Oh no! I planned how I would tell you. It was suppose to be perfect. I was supposed to wear a beautiful gown, like the one in 'Cinderella', and you were in a seductive tuxedo. We were supposed to be dancing in a grand ballroom, like the one in 'Beauty and the Beast', and then you'd rescue me from a dragon, like the one in 'Swan Princess'. It was all my favourite movies put into one little scene. But NO I had to blurt it out over breakfast"

"Lily did you mean it though?" asked James, he looked a little insecure. Who could blame him? I just ruined the already not perfect moment.

"Yes I did mean it. I'm in love with you……..but I wanted to have the perfect moment but-" I confessed.

"Lily, please stop talking about those muggle movies. I'm in love with you and you're in love with me" he chuckled and kissed my forehead "BUT…..If you want your perfect little scene, then you'll have it."

"Excuse me, I don't comprehend?" I asked, what is James talking about? He hasn't even watched any Disney movie. He doesn't know what I'm talking about!

"Let's make a deal" he said, but continued without my answer "The next time we say 'I'm in love with you' will be when your 'perfect little scene' happens. Alright!"

"But James, you don't have to do this?" I replied.

I know how much it meant to him, I know he'd wanted to tell me that for a long time. But if he was upset with the fact that we couldn't say we loved each other, wouldn't he be frowning or something? He wouldn't be smirking and have that glint in his eyes. The Marauder glint in his eyes. I knew that look in his eyes, he was planning something.

"I am very sure Lily darling" he confirmed with the Marauder glint in his eyes "Just you wait and see"

"James" I said before I kissed his cheek lightly "I love your eyes"

"I love your eyes too" James replied.

"Let's get to class" I suggested "Look, all of our friends have left"

Morning classes passed quickly. The Gryffindor males and females stayed to with their own genders. It wasn't because we hated each other; it was because things between Em and Sirius needed to cool off a bit. By the time lunch came around I missed James. Today should have been better. I wish I told him when the moment was better. Oh well, I know he has his little plan.

The girls sat with the girls and the boys sat with the boys at lunch. It was quiet and depressing.

"Excuse me" bellowed Professor Dumbledore "May I inform you that there will be a Prefect's meeting tonight in the Charm's classroom. The Head Boy and Girl will meet you there at 7pm"

A/N – hope you enjoyed! Upcoming chapter – surprise at the Prefect's meeting, Quidditch (Sorry, but I haven't wrote anything about that. Just pretend they've been having practise every week) and more hate from Em to Sirius, and secret trysts with Sirius and Bec. Later on – Halloween, Hogsmeade, Full moon, Christmas Break!
