Everybody wants Remmie
By KerrianneLupin
Chapter Four
Lily
DISCLAIMER – Nope they don't belong to me
AUTHOR NOTE – Woohoo, chapter four is written, yay for me. I'm being quite good at updating stories for once. As you can see this is Lily, I decided that you needed some boy/girl stuff so here it is. Enjoy and I'll update as soon as I can.
THANK YOU'S
FallenHarusame – I was going to do Remus, I really was but I thought perhaps doing everybody would be better before we see what the man himself has to say. Yep I agree with you, I would definitely do Remus!
AngelSword – Too much sugar is good and yep I completely agree. Remus does blatantly rock!
Emerald Tigress – Trust me the Peter chapter had me equally freaked out and I wrote the chapter. I just like the thought of Remus like that. Bless his cotton socks
Titou moony – Yep I still stand by my decision to portray a good looking Remus Lupin. Glad you like the story so much though.
AffectedMangoO – Do you really think that would put Sirius off? After all Remmie never said no to Sirius did he! There's a thought to ponder on! Glad you like the story though
PWeatherby – Yeah I can see Remus being a tease especially towards Sirius who wouldn't be used to it at all. Sorry it isn't Remus but trust me his chapter will so be worth it when you think about it.
Summer Rain of '89 – You wanted some girl/boy action and you've got it so enjoy ok! Glad you like the thought of a sexy Sirius and Remus!
There was no denying that Remus Lupin was a good looking boy but for me the attraction went to a deeper level then his facial features and body. What I liked about him was the fact that he was a generally nice boy, what you saw was what you got; he had no secrets that he kept hidden. He was intelligent, witty and sweet but more important to me was his attitude towards women.
Remus has 4 girls on at one time, normally I would be dead against it being something of a feminist but for some reason it doesn't bother me, it used to. I mean 4 girls on the go is a horrible thing to do but Remus… well he treated those 4 girls like they were Goddesses placed on Earth, the way he looked at them and treated them was as if they were the most beautiful things he had ever seen and some of the most important things as well. I can be honest with myself and admit that I would love to be one of the four chosen ones. Me, little Miss Independent wants to be with someone so much that she's willing to share him with 4 others. It's stupid.
I realised all of this about a year ago, before this certain day I viewed Remus as my fellow Gryffindor, someone in the same year who I didn't talk with, admittedly like every other girl in the school I had noticed that every year Remus grew older he grew better looking but so did most of the boys. James Potter for example was developing into a very good looking boy. Then that Hogmeads trip happened and everything changed for me.
I was with a few friends from Gryffindor, in the three broomsticks, when Remus walked in with a Ravenclaw, I can't quite remember her name though, and the pair of them sat near us though I don't think they noticed us. The conversation at my table was boring and so I found myself watching them. He was away from his friends and the perfect gentleman to her. He paid for the entire meal, listened to everything she had to say and actually looked interested, even replying, he held her hand across the table, every time she left the table to go toilet he rose from his seat, he even held her chair out for her when she sat down and pulled it out when she rose and I was jealous of this. Ironic I know considering I have green eyes but I was honestly jealous and it was at that point, staring into my butterbeer, that I decided I wanted to be one of the four, more importantly I wanted to be the one to convert Remus Lupin into a one woman man.
I started a crusade from that day on, not too major so everyone would notice because that would never do but one big enough to get me noticed by him. I turned down James Potter when he asked me out and continued doing it when he didn't get the hint, not that I had much against him other then him being an arrogant berk but more because he was one of Remus's best friends and of course a best friend always knows the name of the other best friend crush, it's like a law or something. Mission number one was accomplished he finally knew my name and knew who I was, even though it was only as Evans.
It was a well known fact that he had a fondness for curly hair so I painstakingly turned my wavy hair curly every morning before lessons and put special stuff on it to make it shiny and bouncy, every time I moved my head those curls moved. I did little things like that and it seemed to work. He firstly started smiling at me, then that progressed into him saying hello to me every time he saw me, now we even have conversations together but it still not enough, not for me anyway and its all led up to this moment.
I was in the library working on a Transfiguration essay that was due in a weeks time enjoying the peace and quiet of the large room, after all not many people woke up early on a Sunday morning, they were all still in bed
"Hello Lily" well almost everyone. I looked up instantly at the Irish voice and my heart gave a little jump and started thumping painfully in my chest, standing by my table looking at me was Remus, I smiled brightly at him before my eyes looked him up and down without my permission. He was dressed casually in a pair of worn dark blue jeans and a green jumper and he looked as good as ever. I thanked God that I had curled my hair that morning as usual just in case.
"Morning Remus" I replied, a smile still firmly plastered on my face "Do you want to sit down?" I asked making a move to move my stuff and praying that he would say yes. Unfortunately he shook his head; I tired to keep the disappointment off my face but obviously some of it got through because he gave me that perfect little half smile that he had down to a tee.
"No thanks" he said politely "But I do fancy a walk outside, want to join me?" I had to blink several times and pinch myself to make sure that I wasn't actually dreaming and that Remus Lupin actually wanted to go on a walk with me, just the pair of us. I glanced down at my half finished Transfiguration essay and nodded instantly, homework could wait, this was far more important after all.
"Sure why not" I replied in what I hoped was a cool manner. He smiled again at me then helped me gather my books together, hiding the ones I would need to use again. Neither of us spoke as we made our way out the library and down the shaded corridors, in fact we didn't speak until we were out in the fresh air, it was already warm promising a gorgeous day ahead of us.
"So what exactly are you doing up so early Lily? Some people would, after all, consider 7.30 in the morning too early to be up" I shrugged my shoulder, smiling at him
"Mt family are always up early" I explained as we made our way down the path heading to the lake "My Dad owns his own business so he's always up early with it, then my mum has to wake up to cook him breakfast and my bedrooms above the kitchen so the smell wakes me up and my sister Petunia gets up on purpose just to annoy me" he grinned at my comment
"So you have a sister, older or younger?" it took me a second to realise what he was asking
"Petunia's 2 years older then me, we look nothing alike though" he glanced at me before looking away
"So you mean she's ugly then?" he asked
"Well no but…" I trailed off as I realised the compliment he gave me. That was another thing I liked about him not only was he easy to talk to but he was really kind as well, always knowing what to say. I just knew if I told him a secret then he could keep it, he comes across as that kind of person. "What about you Remus? Why are you up so early?" I asked tucking a stray curl behind my ear and noticing with glee that he was looking at my hair with a look of approval on his face. He liked it!
"We live on a farm back home, in the middle of no where so everyone has to pitch in and help when they can. So it means getting up around 6 in the morning" I raised an eyebrow at that
"Do you always help?" I asked
"Most of the time, sometimes I can't" his tone made it clear that he wasn't going to discuss that anymore but there was something about the words. It was as if he chose the words carefully.
"And the farm it's in Ireland?" he laughed at the comment, shooting me an amused look.
"What gave it away? The accent?" he asked raising his eyebrow "The farm is in Southern Ireland, that's where I'm from and that's where I've always lived" he stopped by the lake and looked at me with a serious look which set my heart thumping again "Look Lily I didn't ask you to come on a walk with me to talk about my home or your family. There's something I need to ask you and I'm embarrassed to do it when everyone's around" a quiver of excitement went through me, was this going to be it?
"What is it then?" I asked, Remus ran a hand through his blond hair and spoke in a fast fashion
"I need your help with potions, I'm not doing to well in it and it's dragging my overall grade down, I know that you're really good at it, the best in the year, so can you help me with it?" disappointment went through me even as I nodded
"Sure why not" I replied, he smiled brightly at me a relieved look in his amber eyes
"Great" he said "When shall we get started with it?"
"How about tonight?" I replied "Straight after dinner so we can crack on" I smiled at him. This could be good after all, an hour or so with just me and Remus, definitely a good chance
"You're an angel Lily" he remarked, before I knew what was happening he had leaned over and given me a kiss on the cheek, shivers went through me as every thought went out of my head "Shall we go in? Breakfast is being served and I'm starving" I nodded and walked beside him towards the castle, feeling as if I was in heaven. This was definitely going to be good.
