Chapter Two........... Chapter Two (gee that's original)
****The Next Day. The day after the Welcome feast that is. The day after last night. The day-****
It was Potions class and Remus was sitting next to Peter and in front of James and Sirius. He had already had several pieces of paper hit him in the head and was getting annoyed. The potion's teacher, Professor DeMon, was exactly what his name said, he acted like a demon most of the time. He had pale, sickly pale, skin, red eyes, strangely sharp, pointed teeth, and orange/brown hair. He always wore vomit colored robes that matched his hair. Professor DeMon walked between the isles glaring at random people. He stopped in front of Pryde and peered into her cauldron.
"What is this, Pryde?" He hissed venomously, causing Pryde to jump.
"It's the sleeping draught sir." Pryde said looking up at the professor.
"Tell me, Pryde, what color is everyone else's potion?"
"Uh, blue."
"What color is yours?"
"Red."
"Did you follow all the instructions?"
"Yes sir."
"Well, obviously something is wrong. Are you blind?"
"No sir."
"Must be a mental disability then. I'll remember that next time we do a more complicated potion. "
"Sir I-"
"Don't you talk back to me, Pryde. Two weeks detention for that."
"But-" Protested Pryde standing up.
"Are you arguing with me?"
"Oh, she's gonna get it." Muttered Sirius.
"Totally. How many cauldrons you think he'll make her scrub?" Asked James.
"No Sir, I just-"
"You what!"
"I don't think that's very fare."
"That's just too bad because, I'm the one who makes the rules, and if you don't like them I suggest you learn to deal with them." Professor DeMon smirked, his cold red eyes left Pryde's and he returned to his pacing.
As the bell rang Pryde was forced to stay behind to talk to DeMon about her detentions. Remus was usually the last one out of the room, so he went just a little slower today to hear what DeMon had to say.
"Lupin!" Remus jumped at the sound of his name. "Get out!" Snapped DeMon.
"Yes, professor." Remus said as he hurried out of the room. He leaned up against the wall once outside trying to catch what DeMon was saying. The stone walls must have sound- proof spells on them, he thought.
What a second! He was a werewolf he had great hearing! Remus closed his eyes and laid his head against the wall. Tuning out of everything but his hearing, he concentrated on what they were saying.
"Do you understand me, Pryde?" He heard DeMon say.
"Yes, sir." Pryde said quietly.
"Maybe this will make you think twice about talking back to the teacher. "
"Yes, it will sir."
"For the next two weeks you will come down here after dinner and scrub cauldrons. Understood?"
"Yes sir."
"Be gone with you, then."
Before Remus knew what was happening, someone collided with him. His back hit the cold, hard floor and whoever had run into him had fallen on top of him. Opening his eyes, Remus saw two gray eyes staring back at him.
"I'm sorry. I didn't see you." Pryde stuttered pushing herself up with her hands that were on either side of Remus' head.
"No, it was my fault. Shouldn't have been standing there and not paying attention."
"Um, would you let me go now?" Blushing a deep shade of scarlet, Remus realized that his arms had circled around her waist holding her down.
"Sorry." Remus let go immediately and propped himself up on his elbows.
"No, its ok. At least you aren't DeMon." Pryde shivered standing up. "Who are you by the way?"
"Lupin, Remus Lupin. Gryffindor 6th year." He stuck out a hand to shake and Pryde grabbed it pulling him up.
As soon as their hands touched, an electric shock went through Remus. Not the kind you get when you touch your true love or anything like that (AN/ ::loving sigh:: If only my darling.). This was something else. It hurt too. Remus dropped her hand instantly and stepped back, staring at her.
"What's wrong?" She asked. Obviously she hadn't felt anything.
"Oh nothing just static shock. And you're Annie Pryde right?"
"Yeah, well I better get going off to Transfiguration then. I'll see you later." And with that, Pryde, or Annie was off. She ran down the hall and turned to corner heading to Transfiguration.
"What was that?" Remus asked to himself. Glancing at his hand. It still tingled strangely.
Shrugging, he began off to DADA. As he walked his foot stepped on something. Looking down he saw a necklace made out of copper. It was a simple chain with no charms. The clasp at the back was broken though. Must have fallen off, he thought thinking of Annie's fall. Then he remembered something. He had a necklace exactly like this one. Digging into the collar of his robes Remus pulled out his necklace which was still around his neck.
"But only werewolves have these."
