Come Save Me
Chapter 4
By: blackwidow10
A/N: I'm soooooo sorry I haven't updated in so long. It was that place with the classes...and the teachers...and the bad cafeteria food...I think they call it...school? And for some reason ff.net is being stubborn and won't load this chapter like I want, with the lines seperating the present and Angel's memories. So if it's confusing, it's not my fault.
Remus sat in lonely silence, his head flooded with memories of his precious Angel. 'Where is she? Is she even still alive?' He didn't want to think that way, but he feared that she may not have been able to survive Voldemort. He felt tears in his eyes again, and put his head back down on the table. He muttered to himself, "What I wouldn't give to just hear her voice again..."
(A/N: I just had to add a song in this story. It's called Love Song by Pink, in case you were wondering.)
Remus couldn't sleep. It was hopeless. Tossing and turning was getting him nowhere, especially with Sirius snoring loudly in the next bed. He finally gave up all hopes of reaching dreamland and decided to go down to the Common Room and read a book. Remus, trying not to wake anyone, walked quietly down the stairs. He stopped short, however, at the entrance to the boys' dormitories, watching yet somehow not believing what he was seeing.
There was Angel, dancing slowly around the room with her eyes closed, completely absorbed in the music coming from her magical headphones. (A/N: Electronics don't work at Hogwarts, so her headphones are magical.)
And then, she started to sing.
I've never written a love songThat didn't end in tears
Maybe you'll rewrite my love song
If you can replace all my fears
Remus felt his jaw hit the ground. He had never heard anything so beautiful in his life. And it was his girlfriend (he smiled happily at the word) who was singing, even though she insisted that she sounds like a banshee when she sings.
And all your lovin' and more
When thunder rolls through my life
Will you be able to weather the storm?
Angel knew she had an audience. She peeked out of one eye to see Remus standing in the doorway, eyes half-closed as he listened to her sing. Entranced by her voice.
Again and again and again
So tell me when you look in my eyes
Can you share all the pain and happy times?
Remus felt a pair of arms slide around his neck and opened his eyes to see Angel's smiling face. Her headphones were off, hanging around her neck, the music still playing. Angel laid her head against his chest as she whispered the last line to the song.
Cause I will love you for the rest of my life
They stood in content silence for almost five minutes like that, reveling in the feeling of being in each other's arms, before finally moving over to the soft couch in front of the dying fire. They lay there, cuddled together for hours, talking about random things, just enjoying being together. Angel slowly fell asleep, and Remus, finding it much easier to sleep with his arms around Angel, slowly followed suit.
Sirius came walking hurriedly into the room. Spotting Remus in the same spot he had left him in, he walked around the table and tapped his friend on the shoulder. Remus started and looked up at Sirius, tear- streaked face slowly drying.
"Remus, we've found Voldemort's hideout."
Remus jumped up. "Really? Are you sure?"
"Positive. And if Angel is still alive, she's surely there with him."
Bellatrix was back. Taunting Angel this time.
"Where's your little friends now, Angel? Aren't they supposed to be rescuing you? Or trying, anyway?"
Angel had been wondering that herself. But she wouldn't give Bellatrix the satisfaction of knowing that she was worried.
"Yeah, well, at least I have friends, not like you, you ugly bitch."
Bellatrix didn't like that one bit. She raised her wand, and without anyone to stop her this time, screamed, "Crucio!" The cruel pain was instant. Angel screamed in agony and fell limply in the restraints holding her to the wall.
Bellatrix, quite happy now, walked out of the room. Angel couldn't move. She just hung there limply in her chains, like a useless rag doll, trying to cling on to some memory that would keep her from blacking out.
Angel looked expectantly at Remus, sitting comfortably in front of the Gryffindor Common Room fire. He had wanted to talk to her about something. They were currently alone, or so they thought. James and Sirius, being the little devils they are, were eavesdropping on what was probably Angel's happiest memory, hidden behind a table in the corner of the room.
Remus began hesitantly. "Angel, I...I need to tell you something." He sounded so serious, and oh so nervous. Angel wondered vaguely what could possibly be making her boyfriend (she smiled happily at the word) stutter like that.
Remus continued quietly, "I...I..." This was definitely not going as Remus had planned. He couldn't bring himself to say the three words he so longed to say to Angel, his Angel. He wanted her to know. She had to know. He opened his mouth and forced out the three little words that he so desperately wanted Angel to hear.
"I love you."
There was a sound coming from the corner that sounded suspiciously like two people cheering, but Angel couldn't care less. She threw her arms around Remus's neck, hugging him tightly.
Angel played those three words over and over in her head, having finally realized that avoiding unconsciousness was impossible. Her hoarse, quiet voice spoke to the cold, empty room.
"I love you too."
Pretty please review?
