Life's Ambitions
Disclaimer: Umin harya man cenlyë ho Harry Potter.
Remus couldn't get the list he'd read in the library out of his head. The girl whoever she was had a purpose something to work toward whereas he could pretty much bet that his life would end after Hogwarts. Both figuratively and literally. Who would want to hire a Werewolf and with Voldemort calling all dark creatures toward him he was of great interest to him and to say no to Voldemort guaranteed him of a much shorter life span. He tapped his quill on the table pensively before dipping into his inkwell and starting to write.

He looked at his list and sighed compared to the girls it was rather monotonous. "What you doing Moony?" Sirius asked from next to him where he was scribbling away at their Potions essay due tomorrow.
"Nothing." Remus answered and Sirius and James traded amused looks. Sirius looked over his shoulder and read the list out.
"What's a Rubic's Cube?" James asked baffled.
"Well if I knew what it was I wouldn't want to find out what it is!" Remus snapped uncharacteristically.
"Sorry." James said completely unfazed.

Remus sat down at his seat at the Gryffindor table scanning the other tables for 'List Girl' as he had unimaginatively called her. He was rather unimaginative all round he admitted to himself, also unambitious. He was practical he needed to be as a werewolf, he needed to be happy with the necessities and he had been, that is until that innocent little list had changed something in him. Before he'd been accepting of what was ahead of him, he'd considered himself lucky compared to others of his type, he had gotten an education a real wizarding one which before now had been almost forbidden to werewolves.
It had been a week since Remus had seen the list and he'd not once seen the girl again he was half convinced it was his imagination running over time but after Lily had told him what Rubic's Cube was he'd been sure it was not his imagination unless he was becoming a seer. He'd also added, 'stop leaving this list where people can read it.' rounding it out to an even ten and thanked the Gods that James had already told Lily about his little problem so some very awkward conversations had been avoided.

Sorry these 2 chapters were so short I promise they will get longer. And in the next chapter they'll meet. Now I just need to give her a name... Any ideas? That's the only reason they didn't meet in this one.
