Chapter 4:

Dear Diary,
Sunday

What a fantastic night last was! Very fun! After I got over my heartbreak anyway. I had better start at the beginning or this will never make any sense. About three hours before the ball, we were giving a preview concert in the common room. I made the mistake of singing a song that was secretly professing my love for Lily. James got all mad and stormed out. So we were all getting ready and I almost didn't go because of James. He's such an arrogant jerk. But I did end up going in the end. We played wonderfully in the band. James didn't say one word to me, except for when I sang one of his songs. He was threatening me with his wand--- until Lily came in. He ran his hand through his hair to mess it up, (the great prat!), and went off with her. So I went off with Mary. I found out that James had asked Lily to go steady a week ago so, on our last Hogsmeade trip, I bought a simple ring engraved with the very time I met Mary and fallen in love. She loved it and now we're going steady. I wonder if it's because I truly love her or if it's to show James that I can get a girl too. Then Lily started singing a few songs. She got mad at James for treating me badly. I was thrilled but it only lasted about fifteen minutes. In the end, she always goes back to him. No matter what he does, she goes back. At times like this I remember that lovely fall of third year when I tutored her in Arithmancy. We kissed. Then I stood her up for our first Hogsmeade date because it was the full moon. She still doesn't know the real reason. Poor Lily. I didn't mean to hurt her. I hoped she would come back to me the way she goes back to James now. But she didn't. Sirius bought me a butterbeer and told me it was all right. Then a troll broke in. Lily and James took it out together. How cute, a vanquishing couple. I was more depressed and furious than ever before. Then Sirius told me that Peter had told Mary I was a werewolf. I prepared myself for the worst, and the heartbreak. But, Sirius said she hadn't cared! I realized what I had to do then. I sung a song letting go of Lily. I finally realized that other people love me and I have to love them back rather than pine for Lily who does not return my love. She did once. But not now. So, we were finished singing after that. Lucius Malfoy's band was up next. They put a spell on all the girls when they were singing. James got all mad and started a Dueling Club. Snape dueled him for a while until Sirius grabbed the microphone and called for a free-for-all. How exciting! Hexes were flying all over the place and people were running all over the Great Hall. First, James and Sirius were busy hexing Slytherins when Lucius Malfoy put the Cruciatus Curse on Lily! Now, I'm over her, but she's still my friend. So I pulled him away from her, therefore breaking the curse and told him not to touch her. He whipped out a knife and I was scared because I thought he was going to stab me. But, instead, he held it close to my eyes so I could see it. He said, "You know, my family can afford the best. This knife is pure silver." I gasped; silver is the only thing that can kill a werewolf when merely touched to its skin. I stepped backward but he grabbed my wrist and pulled me towards him. He hissed, "One last meddlesome werewolf in the world!" in my ear and pressed the knife to the vein in my wrist. I collapsed; I was unconscious before I hit the floor. The next thing I knew, I was looking into James' hazel eyes. He was holding Lily's time turner. I realized what he had done. The time turner was pure gold. The only thing that can revive a fallen werewolf was to touch solid gold to his heart. I thanked him and we reconciled. So, my heartbreak is gone and all my friendships are patched up. Except Peter, but, who likes him? Mary escorted me to the common room, insisting I needed rest. It turns out she really does like me. We shared a sweet kiss before she went back to Ravenclaw. I dreamed of her that night. Sigh. I have found love again. What a night. Now there are only six days to the full moon. The week before it I'm always pretty weak. Like I have a cold, weak, sniffly, and just plain blah. Oh well, I really cannot lose any more school time. I must catch up. Right now I need to rest. And my hand is beginning to hurt from so much writing. I need to learn how to bewitch my quill to write what I dictate to it. Goodnight.

Yours,
Remus
