I do not own any of the following: Gundam Wing, Harry Potter, or Sailor Moon. They all belong to their original creators.
I AM SO SORRY FOR THE DELAY!! I really did mean to update sooner, but alot of different things came up!
Chapter 16
"What do you mean, 'Not exactly'," Hotaru asked, hands on her hips. Sirius and Usagi looked at each other, then turned to their two friends infront of them, "Well, you see, we wanted to set Lily and Potter up," Sirius continued for Usagi, "And we decided to make them jealous by making them see that all of their friends had a steady boyfriend or girlfriend."
Remus shook his head, "Well, its an interesting idea." Usagi raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean interesting?" Hotaru grinned, "Its gonna take alot more than that to get those too to admit anything. They're way to stubborn for their own good." "Can't we just lock them in a closet somewhere?" Sirius grumbled, "Its really annoying you know, watching those too dance around each other." Usagi nodded, "And you know the time in the hallway? All we did was trip 'em. They kissed all on their own." "And all those times Prongsy called Evans the wrong name. I mean, who mixes up Evans and Potter?" Sirius continued after Usagi had finished. Remus and Hotaru looked at each other then Sirius and Usagi, "So its settled then," Remus began, "We'll try and set them up," finished Hotaru. Usagi and Sirius shared a grin, "Watch out Lily and James!"
Meanwhile, Duo was getting to know the Hufflepuff Mina, quite well. "Um, Duo," Peter Pettigrew started. Duo turned away from the blonde, "Yes?" "Do you think I could talk to Mina for a couple minutes?" Mina turned to Duo, "I'll be right back." Duo nodded, then Mina and Peter walked down a different corrider. "Er, um..." Peter began to stutter, "Do you think you could help me with my, um, my Charms work?" Mina smiled, "I'm not really good at Charms. Why don't we ask Duo? Even if he's not good, maybe he can help us find someone." "If you like, I could help." The two turned around, and behind them, a red head stood.
The girl smiled, "I'm Naru Osaka. I'm in Chicago." Mina grinned, "See Peter, you got someone smart to help!" Peter smiled slowly, "I really could use it." Naru smiled, "Don't worry, I'll make you a master of charms in no time." This time Peter smiled a little quicker, "I guess we'll see."
While Peter was off being tutored in Charms and Usagi, Hotaru, Sirius, and Remus were planning Lily and James' wedding, Lily and James were both in the library. "Potter, do you mind?" Lily asked, a bit irritated. James grinned, "Nope, not at all." Lily groaned, "Please, I am trying to study and I can't do it with you and your noises." James grinned wider, "How did you manage to study in the common room after a Quidditch game then?" Lily glared, "I didn't." "It sure looked like it." "I was trying, but it never worked out very well." James scooted a little closer, "I'm pretty good at transfiguration, if you'd like any help studying." Lily bit her lip, learning the spell with James Potter teaching her, or not learning it by trying by herself. She groaned, damn her desire to learn the freaking spell. "Fine." James looked at her suprised, "What?" Lily sighed, "Will you please help me?" James looked at her, positively beaming, "Of course, Ms. Evans." Lily smiled, "At least you got the last name right this time." James blushed, "I was thinking of something else, I didn't mean to call you Potter." "I'm sure you didn't," she teased.
With Sirius, Hotaru, Usagi, and Remus, they had decided to sleep on ideas of how to get their stubborn friends together. HOtaru and Remus had left Usagi and Sirius, and now where walking along the outside of the castle, hand in hand. Remus looked over to his girlfriend, and sighed. He knew it wouldn't last. She would find out his secret, then he would be alone. Just like before.
Hearing her boyfriend sigh, Hotaru looked over at him, "Remus, are you alright?" Remus forced a smile on his face, "I'm fine." Hotaru frowned, "You're lying to me." Remus pulled his hand away from hers. "I have something to tell you." He looked at the ground, "I'm a werewolf." Hotaru smiled relieved, "Is that all?" Remus looked up sharply, "'Is that all?' Thats all you have to say! I just told you every month on the full moon I transform into a hideous monster!" Hotaru shook her head, "I don't care." She sat down in the grass and motioned for Remus to do the same, "In all honestly, I suspected it. And," she paused, "I've kept a secret from you, too. You know how some people can do somethings with wandless magic? Well, when I was in grade school, I had a friend, he got a bad cut, he was bleeding pretty bad. I healed it. I haven't any idea how, but I did. The next day at school, no one would come near me. He had told everyone and they all thought I was a freak. I believed them. A couple days later, I moved and when I got my letter, I read some of the books on healing. Nowhere in any of the books I got mentioned anything about it. I remembered being called a freak then, and I figured if I told anyone about it, I would go through the same thing.
"The first time I told anyone was when I met Lily and Usagi. They accepted it, and didn't reject me. It's not as bad as being a werewolf, but to me it comes pretty close. In my book anyway. You see Remus, if I let myself judge you because of something you have no control over, I'd be just as bad as those kids in grade school. Besides, I love you. And your being a werewolf doesn't matter to me."
She looked down at the ground as Remus stared at her. He looked down at her hands clenched in her lap. He took one in one of his hands and used the other to push her face up so she was looking at him, "I, I love you too. And I'm sorry. I thought you'd be like everyone else who finds out I'm a werewolf." "Except your friends?" He nodded, then leaned towards her, and pulled her lips to his.
Sirius and Usagi walked to a tower that looked like it hadn't been used in quite sometime. Usagi wrinkled her nose at the dust, "Doesn't look like anyone's been here in a while." Sirius laughed, "Nope. Sure doesn't. Come on." Usagi took the hand he offered and allowed him to lead her up the steps to the top. Usagi gasped at the view, "Its gorgeous!" Sirius nodded, agreeing with her. Sirius conjured up a couple of cusions for them to sit on, then said, "Usagi, I wondering, if maybe we could try this dating thing for real. Just to see how it would work out?" Usagi smiled, "You know what, I think thats a good idea. I'd like to see what happens." Sirius grinned, "Excellent, now we celebrate!"
With that, he pulled her into a passionate embrace, much like the one before Hotaru and Remus had interupted them. Usagi closed her eyes and sank into his arms as his mouth moved over hers. She finally understood why so many girls were willing to go out with Sirius Black. If he had kissed all of his ex-girlfriends like this, she could see why they didn't pay any attention to his record as a heartbreaker.
Sirius groaned as he felt Usagi move closer to him, he didn't know how he had lasted this long without a girl like her. She was funny, smart, pretty, and to top it off, a helluva kisser.
Finally, the two pulled away from each other, both breathing heavily. Sirius studied the girl next to him, "Damn you're beautiful." Usagi blushed, Sirius did as well, realizing what he had just said. His blush disappeared, and he repeated it, "You are. Don't ever let anyone tell you different." Usagi put her head on his shoulder, and he wrapped his arm around her, "I won't." Sirius hesitated, then said, "I also want to apologize for what I said on the plane earlier, about Kou. I didn't know it would upset you so much." Usagi shook her head, "Don't worry about it, I think I might have overreacted a bit." She paused, "When I was going out with him, did it seem like I flirted with everyone?" "Is that why he broke up with you? Moron. Everyone could tell your eyes were on him, and only him." Usagi giggled, "You're right. He is a moron." She breathed deeply, inhaling his scent, "I'm sorry I slapped you."
Sirius laughed, "Don't apologize. I deserved it." Usagi wrapped her arms around his waist, "Did it really hurt?" Sirius looked down at her, "You think I'd amit it if it did?" "Good point."
Neither knew how long they sat there, but soon they both fell asleep. Down in the main part of the castle, their friends were looking for them. James frowned, "Where could they be? We've looked everywhere." Duo and Mina both shrugged while Lily rolled her eyes, "Relax Potter, they probably don't want to be found." Remus and Hotaru joined the quartet looking for the 'missing' Usagi and Sirius. "What are you guys looking for?" It was Mina that answered, "Usagi and Sirius." Hotaru smiled at Mina. While she didn't know the girl very well, she had been partnered with her a couple of times in Herbology, and they got along pretty well.
Remus spoke up, "We just saw them a couple of hours ago." Hotaru snickered softly. Remus heard her and grinned, he knew she was thinking about the akward position they had found the 2 in, and the conversation that took place afterwards. "Well, have you looked outside for them?" Hotaru asked. "Looked outside for who?" James and Remus jumped, Mina, Lily, and Hotaru barely refrained from schreeching. Unnoticed by the group, Professor McGonagall had came upon them. Lily smiled, "Professor! What are you doing here?"
The professor frowned, and Duo looked at his friends confused when he saw the expressions on their face. Then he realized, "Aw shit." He winced when he saw everyone looking at him. "Oops?" "Oops indeed, Mr. Maxwell. Ms. Evans, who are you looking for?" Lily missed the question because she was still staring at Duo, fortunately Remus answered, "Usagi and Sirius. We can't find them." McGonagall sighed, "I'll find them, run along to your rooms." The 6 nodded, and quickly disapeared.
Once out of earshot, James asked, "What was that about?" Duo grimaced, "She reminds me of Kushranada." James grinned, "She's worse." Duo paled, "Damn." Lily grinned suddenly, "I feel sorry for Usagi and Black. Who knows what she'll do when she finds them."
About an hour later, McGonagall finally came upon the deserted tower the 2 missing students had chosen for their talk and unexpected nap. She went up the steps and looked into the only room at the very top. She stopped at what she saw, Usagi Tsukino and Sirius Black, the pranksters of Hogwarts and sworn enemies sleeping together. His arms were around her waist protectively, and her head was on his chest, her blonde hair a brillant contrast to his black hair. The professor smiled slightly, then left the room. The silence was preferable to the chaos the 2 could create when awake.
THE END OF ChAPTER 16!!
Again, I AM SOOOOOO SORRY THAT IT TOOK SO LONG!! I'll get the next one up as soon as possible, but w/ work and my upcoming graduation, I'm not sure if it will be any time soon!
