Chapter 33: Remus's Birthday

"Happy Birthday Remus." Lily and Faith both said as they snuck up behind Remus as he sat at breakfast. Faith and Lily couldn't tell if he was tired or unhappy that he was getting older. He cracked a wide smile just the same though.

"Thanks." He said taking the gift they out held. Remus opened it. It was a book all about different mystical animals. Remus had always loved learning about other animals like him. Lily and Faith had caught him eyeing the book. Sarah came up behind Remus, wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a big kiss on the cheek. Remus smiled and looked up and Sarah kissed him Lily and Faith exchanged glances.

Serverus had listened for the last two weeks (every since his date with Faith) about how crazy he was by Lucius. Lucius had also been preventing Serverus from asking Faith out a second time.

"I can't believe you would go out with a mudblood." Lucius said sourly following closely behind Serverus as they headed towards the Great Hall. Normally Serverus would have turned around and stared Lucius telling him that Faith was not a mudblood but then Lucius would go into this big lecture about how she was and Serverus didn't want to listen to that.

"Don't say she isn't either because her mothers parents are muggles and I can prove it. Just go look at the family tapestry. Her fathers name was ripped right off because he married that filthy mudblood wo-" Lucius said spitting as he said mudblood.

"Shut up." Serverus said turning around sharply and looking Lucius square in the eye.

"What?" Lucius said shocked that someone had told him to be quiet.

"I said shut up." Serverus said and then turned around and stared to walk off.

"Its true isn't it?" Lucius said walking after Serverus.

"All the Slytherins have been saying you only dated her because you wanted to make James Potter really mad but that's just so they will all feel better about a pureblood dating a mudblood. The real truth is that you actually like her. All the girls have been whispering about it forever, I just imagined they were delusional but they aren't; you like her. Some of the girls are even starting to say your in love with her....it can't be true?" Lucius said running in front of Serverus and stopping him. Serverus looked Lucius in the eyes and never blinked. Lucius looked taken aback.

"It can't be true." Lucius said taking a few steps back in shock. Serverus just walked steadily past him.

"It can't be! A MudBlood!!" Lucius yelled at him as Serverus continued to walk away.

"Look its Snivilus." Peter said excitedly as he pointed at Serverus walked towards the Great Hall. Sirius and James seemed to peek up. They had been talking about sneaking into Hogsmede and getting a few butterbeers so that they could have a small party for Remus but the thought of doing something to Serverus was so much more interesting.

"Hey oil brains." James said walking up behind Serverus. Serverus took one look at James and began to walk faster.

"Not so fast old friend." Sirius said smiling and clapping a hand on Serverus shoulder.

"Where could you be going to so fast on a Saturday morning?" James asked smiling. Sirius walked a few steps behind Serverus and James and looked at his hand in disgust and then wiped it on Peter.

"Yes. Where could you be going?" Sirius asked sarcastically catching up to them.

"The Great Hall." Serverus said and walked faster. James and Sirius exchanged glances, smiled and stopped walking saying together.

"Ok."

Serverus seemed in shock that they weren't going to do anything to him.

"1..2.." Sirius whispered to James.

"STUPEFY!" James and Sirius yelled. Serverus hit the ground and James and Sirius laughed.

"What is everyone doing?" Lily asked as her,Faith,Sarah and Remus all exited the Great Hall. Lily was talking about a large group of students standing around and laughing. Lily and Faith tried to push through the crowd but couldn't do it.

"Mr. Potter and Mr. Black." Professor McGonagall said behind Faith and Lily, Sarah and Remus we're holding and had wondered off. Remus was whispering to Sarah, probably poetry.

Professor McGonagall pushed through the crowd and several of the students scattered. Lily and Faith didn't catch all over McGonagall's ranting and raving but they did catch "Serverus" "covered in" "detention" "big trouble" and "not funny" .

Lily and Faith smiled at each other in knowing that Sirius and James were getting their just punishments.

"How did you guys get the butterbeers?" Lily asked as James passed them all another round of butterbeers. It was about 11:30 at night and Remus, Peter, Sirius, James, Faith, Lily and Sarah were all up and in the common room celebrating Remus's birthday (Im not sure how old to put him so I wont say)

"That's classified information right Prongs?" Sirius said smiling.

"That's right." James said winking at him. Lily gave Faith a look and Faith just rolled her eyes as she sucked down her second butterbeer. They were all laughing and having a good time when a soft hoot came from the window. Faith got up and walked over to the window. She took the letter from the owl and it flew away. James finished telling a joke. Faith chuckled as she stood by the window and opened the letter. Faith read through the letter and fainted.

"Faith!" Lily said jumping up as her friend hit the ground.

(A/N: why did Faith faint? Tell me in your reviews what you think.
