Chapter 3. The Werewolf
A month went by without anything changing between James, Remus, Peter, or myself. However, I managed to get closer to Ben and, especially, Natalie. She was different from the other girls I'd dated before. She didn't act as though she was trying to impress people. She seemed to have fun just being herself, and while that was sometimes insane, I enjoyed being with her. I had the feeling that she was getting closer to me as well.
I was almost happy now in my life, despite the fact that I missed my old friends. However, the holidays were approaching and my parents were commanding that I come home to spend time in the torture house, as I liked to call it. I guess I was looking really depressed lately, because Natalie and Ben kept on asking if something was wrong. They knew that I had to go home, but they didn't really realize how horrible my family was. Or so I thought.
"Are you alright?" asked Natalie.
"Yes, I'm fine," I responded, sounding tired. She looked at me closely.
"You are not. It's your parents, isn't it?"
I looked at her, surprised. "No....it's not...."
"Yes it is. I've heard about how horrible your family is. Quite frankly, they killed my family."
"Oh yes, I remember. How could I forget?"
"You're a moron?" asked Ben as he walked up. He looked very confused, an expression that was frequently on his face.
"How did you get that out of what I actually said," I inquired, wondering what Ben's IQ was.
"I have no idea, what did I say?" Ben stated.
"Ben, be quiet, I was getting somewhere with him," Natalie snapped irritably.
"Oh, sorry," replied Ben, meekly.
Just then, James and the rest of his buddies passed by. James gave me a dark look and stalked away. I now noticed how Lily could think James was kind of arrogant. He did give off a haughty air.
Natalie noticed my gaze and stated, "You never told me what was going on between you and them."
"Yeah," added Ben, "what did you do to make them blow up at you like that?"
I sighed. "Well, I kinda told a secret about one of my friends to our mortal enemy."
"About which friend?" asked Ben and Natalie simultaneously.
"Remus," I answered shortly, not intending to say much more on the topic.
"Ah," Natalie said knowingly, "the werewolf."
"WHAT?!" I screeched. How in the world did they know that?
"It's fairly obvious," reasoned Ben. "He's always ill and pale. He is always absent on certain phases of the moon. Basically the full moon. Hence: werewolf."
"We're right, aren't we?" inquired Natalie.
"Yes," I muttered, not wanting to be rude. "You can't tell anyone though."
"Do you really think we're that stupid?" asked Ben sounding angry.
"We know what would happen if word got out that Dumbledore allowed a werewolf to attend school," snapped Natalie.
"Don't get me wrong, we're not against werewolves," hastily added Ben, looking at my facial expressions. I guess I looked angry.
"Actually, we're completely 100% FOR werewolves. To be quite blunt, I think all the prejudice towards werewolves is completely stupid. Werewolves are just like us on every day except one out of the entire month. And...I'll stop now. I'm rambling on and on and on," Natalie said all in one breath.
"Like the energizer bunny," joked Ben.
I laughed at that. So did Natalie. The tension was lifted after that and we continued to have a good time. I looked at Natalie and felt my heart flutter. I pushed away the feeling and headed towards the Gryffindor common room with the twins following behind me. For the time being, thoughts of my family were pushed out of my head and I was perfectly content. Well....for the most part. I still missed my other friends, but the ache was lessened by my acquaintance with the two foreign students. How long would that last though? I did not know the answer to that so I pushed away the bothersome question and continued to be happy. For the moment at least.
******** A.N: ok, that was chapter 3. Horrible? Of course. Whatever your opinion is, I'll accept it. After all, I'm not gonna growl at all if you're all nice in reviews. unless it's the truth and then....just forget I said anything, I'm confusing myself, so I can only imagine how you're absorbing this. Poor me. Anyway, please review. LOVE TO ALL OF MY FANS!!!! If I have any.....GO LAKERS!!!!
