Salem Meets Hogwarts

Chapter 6- Depressed Chick
Disclaimer- If all of this really belonged to me, I wouldn't be writing a fanfic about it.
That Friday night, our seven friends were lounging in the Common Room, tired out from their day of shopping. Well, actually, that sentence is incorrect. Currently only five of our friends were lounging in the Common Room. I'll give you 5 Galleons if you can guess which two people were missing. 'Lily and James?' I am sorry, but that's wrong. Think back to the last chapter, which two people went off by themselves? Sirius and Mai are correct, but since they weren't your first guess, I get to keep the money.
So that night, when their friends were relaxing, or in Ren's case sleeping, they went up to the Astronomy Tower. The two were sitting on one of the window ledges, looking down at the grounds of Hogwarts while moonlight and starlight spilled over them.
"Mai, can I ask you a question?"
"You already did, but I guess you can ask another."
"Why were you so calm when you were telling as about your ex?"
"Well, it could have been worse. He could have gotten me pregnant or given me some disease, but as it is, all he did was take my virginity. I mean, I was going to save myself for marriage, but things happen. And you can't always let them bog you down. Only you can make yourself a victim. And besides, that was over a year ago, I've had time to be depressed and then just put in my past."
"But, Mai--"
"What, Sirius? Do you honestly want me to be some depressed chick with this big messed up past? So what if I was raped? I could have gotten pregnant and not been able to care for the child. So what if my parents were killed? I still have Ren who is my best friend in the world even though she makes mistakes sometimes. So what if we don't have a home? At least Dumbledore is going to let us stay here until we find a place to stay.
"Sirius, you have to understand there are a ton of people out there who are a hell of a lot worse off than I am. I mean, Ren and me could have been dirt poor when our parents got killed and have absolutely no where to go. But we weren't. Everything happens for a reason. Think about it, if Voldermort didn't kill my mom and dad, me and Ren would have never have to go here and we probably wouldn't have met any of you guys, ever. But we did, and I couldn't be happier for it."
"Wow, that was really philosophical."
"Yeah, I guess it was."
"Are you okay?"
"Not really."
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
"Whenever someone says it's nothing they really means it something but they want to make it seem like nothing."
"You talk too much."
"And you don't talk enough. So what is it?"
"You honestly don't know? Man, I thought Remus would have told you guys by now. He would have known as soon as I stepped into school."
"What would Remus have known?"
"Sirius, no offense hun, but you can be really dense. I'm a freakin' werewolf, just like Remus. And just like Remus, the moon gets to me. Although, since I'm a girl and I'm PMSing right now, it's most likely bothering me more than it's bothering him."
"How did you know that I know Remus is a werewolf?"
"He told me, I think it was the first night I was here. He said that you guys wouldn't have a problem with it 'cause they knew about him and still wanted to be his friends."
"That's Remus for ya, always looking out for others."
"Yeah."
"Do you want to go back to the Common Room?"
"No, I just wanna be with you for awhile, without the hassle from the others."
"Mai?"
"Yes?"
"You have incredible eyes," Sirius whispered to her, before gently kissing her.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
An hour later, the two missing friends stumbled back into the Common Room and fell -rather ungracefully- onto an empty couch near the others. Ren looked up from where she was sitting with Remus and raised an eyebrow.
"And just where have you two been?"
"See, this is why we should stay away from them. We've only been here for two minutes and already the hassling has begun."
"It seems you're right, but you know, a lot of the time it's always Lily and James being hassled, so at least we took the lime light off of them."
"Yeah, I guess so."
"So where were you two?" asked Ren again.
"Oh you know, just out and about," said Sirius.
"Out and about and making out," supplied James from his seat.
"Yeah, that too," mumbled Mai from her half-asleep position.
"Why is Mai always falling asleep?" asked Lily.
Ren and Remus shared a look while Sirius tried to think up some excuse in his head.
"The winter is tough on her, she's always getting sick," said Ren.
"Aw, man that sucks. Does she take any medicine?"
"Sometimes, but not a lot, they bum her out and usually after taking them she's worse off than before."
"Oh."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
A/N- Okay, I was going to make this longer and include the masquerade, but I can't write it. I keep on getting a mental block. So I'm just going to post this and if anyone could help me with the masquerade, I'll love you forever. Sorry for the wait. Byex.
