Chapter 5 Apologies and Remus Confides .
8:30 Am that same day.
Lily was gone by the time Catie was awoken by a knock at the door.
"Who is it?"
"Loojin, Princess Dru's personal Elf. Mizz Dru says Mizz Mackenzie need to get ups so she sends Loojin to wakes you." The elf said through the door. Catie got up and opened the door. There stood a House Elf in a tea towel bearing the Palace Coat of arms. The Elf's height was the size of Catie's waist.
"Come on in Loojin."
"Thank you Mizz Mackenzie."
"Call me Catie, Loojin. Please?"
"Mizz Catie is having brunch with Duke of Merona today isn't she Mizz?"
"How did you know?"
I is liking the Duke very much Mizz. The Duke is employing Loojin's sister Loopik because the royal family is the Duke's bestest friends. She is saying that the Duke is meeting yous Mizz Catie."
"Say does the Duke ever talk about a C.V.M?"
"Yes Mizz, he does. He is very mad because she is hitting him Mizz at the party. Why do you knows her Mizz?"
"We've met." Catie said frowning.
"Mizz Catie, Loojin is leaving you to attends Mizz Dru. If yous ever needs me again just ring. Mizz Dru says you Mizz Berns and Mizz Evans can ring me when you needs me." the Elf said heading to the door. Oh God What have I done? Catie thought as she started to cry.

Remus was waiting for Catie when she entered the café. when he saw the tear streaked face he knew something was wrong.
"Catie? are you all right?"
"No-yes. I'm Fine. I just had a interesting interaction with a palace Elf. She told me some interesting facts about a certain Duke."
"Oh really? Did she say that this duke was handsome and kind?" Remus asked with a lifted eyebrow. Catie shook her head.
"Oh no she said that he was evil and he abuses his employees. She also says that he has a horrible temper. I think that I should report him the King or Prince James. What do you think?" Catie said with mock seriousness.
"I don't know that you should report him he might be a really good guy and the elf might not know the real duke. He just might be the best guy on the face of the earth."
"Nah I have met the duke and I think him to be stuffy, unkind and a real hottie." Catie retorted breaking into laughter. Remus smiled and then started chuckling. They then both started to laugh really hard.
"Ok Cate what is really going on?"
"I want to apologize for last night. I should of let you explain. Sorry."
"Cate, you want to know something forget last night I deserved it besides I want to tell you why I broke up with you all those years ago."
"Remus what's wrong?" she said concerned. he looked really nervous.
"Caitlin we can't talk here let's go for a walk, I want to show you Faviana. Come on." He grabbed her hand and pulled her to the door.
"Remus J. Lupin. Where in Merlin's name are we going?" Catie asked as she was being pulled down the sidewalk. they stopped at a large garden in the center of the park.
"Cate sit. Nothing I tell you will leave Caliana."
"Gee Woof woof, treat me like a dog why don't you?"
"Actually Sirius is the dog. Let me start with the beginning. You know the sign for the Marauders is a Rat, a Big Black Dog, a Stag, and a Werewolf. Well Peter Petigrew the Palace Butler was the rat, Sirius the dog, and James the stag. That leaves..."
"The werewolf. You. Remus I knew that when we started dating."
"You knew?"
"Of course I knew. I figured it out. The first week was a full moon and you didn't show up for any of our classes we took together. Sure I was worried but then when you came back that next week and said you were sick, I looked at the signs and started looking them up in our DADA book. It took me a day to find what was wrong. You remember I was the Ravenclaw Bookworm."
"So I broke up with you after I started to fall in love with you. I thought that if you found out you would freak out and hate me. I still love you Caitlin Veronica Mackenzie.
"Y-you
love me? After five years you still love me? Oh Remus..."
"You know I do." He
then kissed her long and hard.
"Remus I-I love you too so much. But what I don't get is why in bloody hell you thought that I would leave you. In the year that we dated did I once ever give you the idea that I'd leave you because I thought that you were less of a man because you were different?" She asked 5 minutes later when they broke apart.
"No I thought..."
"You thought. How many damn time did I tell you not to think it's bad for your health?" He grinned.
"Millions and my little Cate you were right."
"Do my ears deceive me Remus Jonah Lupin is admitting that he was wrong?" Catie asked giving him a large smile. He just kissed her in reply.
"Come on its almost 10:30 and I still haven't shown you my town."
"Oh your town? I always thought that James was the ruler but alright if you insist show me Faviana."
"Smart ass."
"Damn straight how else is a girl suppose to thrive these days?"
"Find a handsome duke?"
"Now who's the smart ass?"
"Ok ok I get the point. Have you kissed a werewolf today?"
"Yes but I will do it again." she grabbed his head and pulled him down to her lips. when they broke apart he grabbed her hand and pulled her into the city for a tour.

One and a half hours later
~~~~~~
Catie and Remus were headed up the palace stairs outside when they could hear Prince James and Lily yelling across the grounds.
"...Why the hell did you have to fall off Diablo after that snake came across his path. You know what I told you about stallions."
"Well Sire, why give me such an untrainable horse. For Merlin's sake. Why not a Mare or Gelding. Something tame unlike the mount you gave me. I never want to ride with you again!" Lily was running towards them when Catie started to laugh.
"What?"
"Well look at them Remus. I remember you telling me once that James fancied Lily for a time in 6th year. I darn well know that she had the largest crush on him from the time we started 4th year. Hell she couldn't stop talking about him in 7th year." she broke off.
"OHH! JAMES MICHAEL ALEXANDER MALCOLM POTTER IS THE BIGGEST STUCK UP... ASS ON THIS SIDE OF THE ATLANTIC OCEAN!" Lily screamed as she stormed past the other couple who started to laugh so hard they had to sit down on the stone steps until Prince James came up to them.
"Moony what's so funny?" James asked as he sat down next to Remus.
"Oh Lily just stormed past here and told us something that we already know." Catie said lightheartedly.
"What's that Miss Mackenzie?"
"She said that you were the biggest stuck up ass on this side of the Atlantic Ocean." Remus told his best friend. To their surprise James started to laugh. The same thing was going on in Remus and Catie's minds What the hell is that all about?
"Well she's right." Said a voice. Sirius and Brianna came out of the palace.
"Padfoot. Miss Berns. Good afternoon." James said.
"Bree! You, Lily, and me, dinner at the café on main street tonight I have so much to tell you!" Catie told Bree.
"Will we be back by then, Your Grace?" Bree asked Sirius.
"We can if you really want to have dinner with your friends... Hey I have a great idea let's triple date. You and me Brianna, Remus and Catie, and since James has such a way with Lily he can go with her." Sirius said laughing at the look James gave him. Pure poison! "Besides it's their first day here in Caliana and Lily hasn't seen Faviana yet either. Well.. Got to go got a date with the best looking lady here. well one of the best but Moony has dibbs on her first." Putting Bree's arm through his they walked out towards the city. Brianna looked delighted at her luck but only Catie saw that. She laughed.
"What?" the two men asked.
"Well isn't it kind of obvious. She has liked that man for over 10 years and well she is finally getting to make her dream come true. Honestly! Men are so... DENCE!" Catie said walking up the steps and heading indoors.
"Women! Cant live with them can't live without them" James and Remus said laughing.
"Well Sire I have a meeting to go to with the Irish Prime Minister. Will you try to get Lily to go to dinner with us?"
Yeah ok and Rome was built in a day. But I will try." James said.
