Author's Notes: Hey, all! As you all know, I may have a mythological visitor....I think that it will be either Aphrodite or Cupid. VOTE NOW!!!! If I owned Harry Potter, I would be too busy swimming in all of my cash to write a stupid fanfic....
Chapter 15
"Uh, Moony," James began, nervously. He took a seat on Remus's bed. Lupin hadn't left there all weekend, and everyone was getting worried about him.
"What do you want?" Remus mumbled rolling over on his side, so that he wasn't facing James.
"Well, two things. First, get your arse out of bed! You've been sulking all weekend over a stupid, psychotic girl that doesn't even deserve your tears."
"Who said I was crying?!" Lupin snapped at him and sat up in his bed. "And I am not sulking, I'm simply reflecting upon the meaning of life."
"I'll tell you what the meaning of life is, it's to get you're butt out of bed, get under the invisibility cloak, and run around Hogwarts wreaking havoc on everybody," James replied, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. "C'mon we can go to the kitchens, and then we need to talk..."
"About wha—" he began, but James cut him off, and pulled him towards the kitchens.
"So, now that we are happily eating chocolate, everything will be a lot easier to understand and handle, right, Moony?" James asked hopefully, with a stupid grin on his face.
"What did you do this time, Prongs?" Lupin asked in between bites of chocolate chip cookies.
"Well—er—you know how Lily and I switched bodies..."
"Just spit it out, Prongs."
"Well—er—when we were in the lake, Lily and I, she was hinting to me about a feminine emergency I was having at the time, and I didn't exactly getting what she was saying."
"Does what you're saying have a point?" Remus asked him, bitterly.
"Yes! If you would let me finish a sentence without interruption for once!"
"Fine, fine. Go on." Remus held up his hands in exaggerated surrender.
"Well, she told me that it's that time of the month—and I thought she meant the full moon...."
"WHAT THE HECK IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?!"
"As I was saying, I told her that the full moon wasn't for another week...and she kind of figured it out...about you...she told me in the hall that she knew you were a—"
"WEREWOLF?!" Remus offered, angrily.
"Er—yeah."
"I'm going to bloody kill you!" Lupin screamed, jumped out of the chair he was in, and charged at James. "Why would you say something like that? You know nobody can know!"
"Sorry, sorry! It was an accident!"
"I'll kill you and make it look like an accident!" Remus continued his pursuit towards a very intimidated-looking James.
"PPPPPPPPPPPPAAAAAAAAAAAAAADDDDDDDDDDDFFFFFFFFFFFFOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!" James screamed in desperation and ducked behind a sofa in order to dodge a hex zooming towards him. "HELP ME! MOONY HAS GONE MAD! MAD I TELL YOU, MAD!!!!!!!!!"
"What do you people want? It's 11 o'clock in the morning?! I'm trying to slee—" Sirius yawned and stopped in mid-sentence at the maniacal sight in front of him. "What the bleeding Merlin is going on? Moony? James? Care to explain?"
"I—gasp—accidentally—gasp—told Lily about—Remus being a—werewolf—when we swapped bodies—and Moony is clearly—AAAHHHH—overreacting!" James dodged, yet another, curse from Remus, and Sirius decided that it was time to step-in.
"Immobulis!" Sirius shouted, freezing the entire room, with the exception of a horrified James. "And you actually told him you did that—after what just happened about his ex?! You're such a moron, I think you deserve to be killed to prevent any future off-spring."
"I resent that!" James glared at his friend, while straightening his robes and messing-up his hair. "I was just trying to be honest, besides, the full moon is tonight anyway."
"So what you're saying is: you thought it would be best to tell him right before he turned into an evil, angry, hairy monster with fangs." Sirius then did a double take, "Hey! I'm supposed to be the stupid one lacking all form of common sense. Don't steal my title!"
"Nobody is capable of that; don't worry." James stuck out his tongue and taunted Sirius until Sirius thought it would be funny to unfreeze Remus and let James fend for his life.
"Finite Incantatum!" Sirius said, pointing his wand at Remus. Lupin wasted no time in attacking James again.
"STUPEFY!" Lupin advanced on his opponent throwing curses every which way. Finally, one hit James, square in the chest. He fell to the ground, rigid. Remus was about to fight the muggle way with an immobile opponent, but Sirius had had his revenge on James.
"Moony," Sirius stated calmly. "Step away from James. You do not want to kill him. You're not being reasonable." He noticed that he wasn't getting through to Remus, and quickly added, "you can kill him, but you'll be expelled." That worked. Remus snapped back to reality and freed James from his spell.
At Lunch...You know, Padfoot, I still can't believe you expected us to believe you saved Aphrodite's life. It's not even plausible!" James laughed.
"I did!" Sirius argued. "In the summer going into our 5th year. I was really upset at my parents, surprise, surprise, and so I ran away and ended up in this strange place...I still don't know where I was. But, I saw her, she was beautiful, and after I saved her, she told me that she would forever be in my debt."
"I wish that were true, maybe she could have gotten Mary to fall in love with me again," Remus sighed, wistfully.
"You need to get over her, Moony. And you," James said, turning to look Sirius directly in his eyes, "stop lying about Aphrodite. It's pathetic really."
"I'm not lying!"
"Sure."
"Whatever you say, Padfoot."
"I'll prove it!" Sirius yelled at them and ran out of the room.
"APHRODITE!" Sirius yelled, standing outside of Hogwarts, next to the pond. "APHRODI—" He stopped suddenly because the water started rippling uncontrollably. The pond turned into a whirlpool of water, and then transformed into what looked like a mini-hurricane. A few moments later, there sat Aphrodite at the side of the pond, looking up at Sirius with omniscient eyes.
"So you want me to prove to your friends that you know me?" she yawned, mockingly.
"There's no need to be snooty about it," Sirius said, becoming offended.
"I wasn't being snooty. I just don't appreciate being called upon every time you want to impress one of your little friends."
"Actually, Aphro—"
"I've told you before, don't call me that. I don't want everybody to know who I am!"
"Sorry, what would you rather be called?" Sirius asked her.
"How about Catherine; I've always been partial to that name."
"Fine, Catherine. It's more than that. You see, my friend, James—he's in love with Lily. And when I went to the future with her, we found out that they are destined to get married and have a kid, Harry."
"So what's the problem?" the goddess asked growing impatient.
"The problem is that she hates him, and there is no way to get them together—without a little help, of course. That's where you come in."
"Sounds interesting," she mused, twirling her hair fetchingly.
Author's Notes: Wow! Another short chapter, but the wait was really short, so be happy. Hope you liked it, I think it was a very dull chapter, but I wanted to get Aphrodite in there and some other junk. Next chapter should be interesting as Aphrodite put it. Lol.
Next Chapter: Aphrodite plays matchmaker, but will her goddess powers be enough?
Future Events: uh...
