SEPTEMBER
FIRST.
Seventh year; Our last year here in Hogwarts. Now
who wouldn't love that? I mean honesty, it's going to be a blast...
well I would have been a good start, if Lils isn't screaming about
James being headboy.
If only she gave him a chance...
"Head boy! Woohoo, Go Prongs!" Sirius screamed his voice booming
into the whole Hogwarts Express, and very much unfortunately my ear.
"Sirius shut the fuck up and act your age! Honestly your 17, 18
next month. Please stop acting like a kid" I snapped shoving him
onto a seat so he ended up squishing Peter.
"My my my,! My
darling cares about me!" He squealed sounding very much like my 14
year old sister, Andrea.
"I'm not your darling Sirius; and
I'll never be.. I'm not going to go for players. No matter, how
cute you are!" I pinched his cheeks lightly, earning myself a death
glare he normally saved for Snape. Out of the corner of my eye I
noticed Remus gulping – maybe because full moon is coming nearer.
Not that I'm supposed to know, or anything...
"So, um, Ag...
Is your brother thinking of playing quidditch professionally?" To
be honest, I was surprised with his question, normally Remus kept
quiet when we were in our quidditch arguments; He never really talked
about quidditch, and I? I, and I will be honest, can never shut up
about it! Let's just say it runs in the Wood blood!
"Defiantly. He's been asked by a few teams, he's still
deciding... We spent most of summer playing quidditch. Him and his,
'I'm going to help you train better Ags'. Helped me on my
keeping... said it's a pity if I'm still reserve..." I grinned
at him, "oh and yeah... that's a hint. Tell James, wont you?"
Remus chuckled, "I will Ags, I will... I wonder how James and Lily
are doing back in the Head compartment...."
"Wouldn't we
ALL like to know?" I grumbled weakly eyeing Sirius who was forcing
four chocolate frogs into his mouth. "I mean... they better get
together this year... I they don't, they'd NEVER get together...
and we really don't want that to happen, do we?"
"Don't
we know it" Sirius cried spitting out bits of chocolate frog right
at my face, as Peter giggled squeaking awkwardly.
Sometimes
I wonder why I'm even friends with that git... he's a nightmare...
really he is. Gah! Him and his 'Black Charm' luckily I'm not
falling for it... it is lucky isn't it? Then again, we probably
won't ever be anything more than just friends... especially since
Derrick's my boy... Sweet innocent charming... the schools most
wanted guy. Well after James and Sirius, and Remus isn't that far
behind. Though to be honest I'd choose Remus over Padfoot and
Prongs any day... Not only because in my mind Prongs already belongs
to Lils... Let's just make it; Black hair ain't my type...
"Have you guys seen Der?" I smiled noticing Sirius'
disgusted face. He hated Derrick... I reckon it's because he could
give both him and James a run for their money as the hottest boy in
school.
"No, and I have no intentions of seeing him" He spat
out before resuming his game of exploding snap with Remus. I glared
at him before turning to Peter who was cheering for Sirius, not that
it was surprising since James isn't here; and when James isn't
around, whom else would Peter turn to... not that I have a thing
against him... but he's weird... very.
"I haven't seen him
either, Ag" Remus answered softly, I couldn't help but smile.
Remus always had ways to calm me down when I was pissed off at
Sirius, which just so happens to be nearly 24/7. Sometimes I think
the two of us are worse than Lily and James... although their
arguments are... filled with loving emotion. My ones? Pure bickering...
I love to argue... Then again, who wouldn't!
"Well, I might
as well go look for him. See you later boys" I flashed them one
last grin before slipping out of the compartment.
The next
part, I wouldn't like to put into this memory book, but I know I
have to. Me and my short term memory... I hate Derrick Gordon.
Forever and always, I don't know what I would have done if Remus
wasn't there when I ran towards the bathrooms. He's really sweet...
Sometimes I wish... GAH! Stop dreaming Wood. You and the Marauders
will never be more than just friends. Never ever... - EVER!
"Ag... what's wrong?" Much as I wanted to hold back my tears, I
couldn't stop it from slipping out anymore. I sobbed helplessly
into Remus' shoulder.
"I... I... you don't want to ...
know" I managed in between hiccups; I was glad that it was actually
Remus that I was talking to. If it couldn't be Lils, Remus was the
best help.
"AGNES! Tell me... please, it'd make you feel
better!" Remus prodded softly, smoothing down my hair. I couldn't
help but tear up even more as he did that. That was something that
Derrick always did. That low down sick excuse of a wizard.
"The
good news? Or the bad news?" I muttered as Remus stepped back from
the half hug we were in a while ago.
"Good first?"
"I'm
single. Not that it'd be much of a joy to the male population in
Hogwarts" I wasn't being sarcastic, it was true. I was never much
of a popular girl in Hogwarts. I'd be found in the library with
lily, or playing quidditch with the marauders. They were like my
family at school; Andrea... was one of the more popular girls, even
though she is 3 years older than me. Aaron was and still is a
quidditch star; and only two years older than me. So you could say
it, I'm the disgrace of the family. Average, boring, plain, old me.
Not even pretty... well, maybe if you compared me to Snape I'd be
stunningly gorgeous; but me to Andy? It'd be like heaven and hell.
Me - being hell.
"You mean... You and Gordon... broke up?"
Remus stated in what was a rather shaky tone I might add.
"You
couldn't help but say it right out COULD YOU!" I snapped, I admit
it, I was getting pissed off. Fuck Derrick Gordon. Fuck his shit, all
he wanted was to get laid, and now he was... Yes... right in the
middle of the train ride to Hogwarts.
"What happened?" He
whispered lightly, his tone was calm and almost showed a hint of love
that my brother talked to me in.
"Let's just say, he got the
dream he always wanted. He got laid"
"you mean he was a
virgin!" Remus snorted, then stopped realizing it wasn't the
moment.
"Yeah.. he was; and I am. Of course what did I expect...
the mighty marauders couldn't be virgins could they?" My tone was
dripping with sarcasm, and obviously Remus knew he hit a nerve.
"No no.. he was just showing off about how many girls he screwed
back at the end of term feast last year..." His statement was
greeted with silence until I managed a tiny and muffled giggle. Remus
always had ways to make me laugh, and that's probably why I love
him.
WOAH! What's with the whole love comment? Dude... ok
Agnes Wood.. get a grip. No one in their right mind would probably
fall for you. All your relationships ended aburtly with the other guy
cheating on you. And their exact words 'you're nothing but a
bore. A chick who tries to act all pure and innocent; Not to mention
stupid, EVERYONE knows we only want to get in your pants'. Boys...
hormones... I hate them. Maybe I should just swear off guys... I did
have that thought in my head.... Should I go along with it? Remus
tried to push me off it... Wish I knew why... I stuck with that
thought... until the sweetest letter reached me, just a few minutes
before I wrote today's entry. And boy when sweet.. do I mean
sweet.... If only they signed their bloody name!
Dearest
Agnes,
The first time
I saw you,
I knew you were the one.
There was no question in my
mind,
after having that much fun.
There's just something
about you,
that I've never found before.
And now that we're
good friends,
I
find myself wanting more.
I never thought it possible,
to
care for one so much.
But everyday that passes,
I long to feel
your touch.
To look into your eyes,
would make my day
complete,
cause every time
you look at me,
my heart just skips a beat.
Everything I'd
wished for,
every dream I'd hope come true,
I never thought
would happen,
until the day that I met you.
I know that
your not ready,
for the kind of commitment that I am,
but for
you I'd wait forever,
there's nothing I can't stand.
Although
it hurts to know,
that you don't feel the same as me,
hopefully
one day you'll realize,
one day you'll wake up and see.
Isn't
that just the sweetest? Lils thinks so too... secretly I think she
wishes James would do the same thing... Not that he would.. he just
isn't... sweet enough. Charming? Sure... Sweet? Maybe In a million
years.... If I only I knew who this mystery guy is... but I don't
want to get hurt again... Anyone this sweet wouldn't only want to
'get in my pants'? At least I hope not...
