Life's Ambitions

Disclaimer: I've said it 3 different ways in 3 different languages so I should hope you get the idea by now but if you don't... I MOST CERTAINLY NOT OWN ANYTHING YOUR RECOGNISE although I'm still a bit bitter about the whole not owning Remus bit.

Author's Note: I needed to console myself as I was just reading the sequel to 'Puzzle Pieces by Occasus' and I was crying so this might end up being angsty, at least my English teacher isn't here to ask me my motives or ask 'if everything is okay'! And my parents are back home not sure if it's a good or bad thing. It's better than them telling me 'We decided to go to Melbourne.' And THEN AN HOUR LATER THEY LEAVE FOR 4 DAYS!

Desi, Remus had discovered, was quite good at evading him. He saw her in lessons but as soon as they were over she quickly disappeared. He'd tried to find her in the common room, library, kitchens, even the Goddamn Quidditch Pitch which he was sure she would not willingly go to. So one night sick of the little cat and mouse game they seemed to be playing he decided to stay down in the common room until she retired for the night.

It was close to midnight and the common room was empty when she entered it and made her way straight to the staircase leading to the girls' dorms. "Hi Desi," he said casually not looking up from the book he was perusing.

"Hi Remus," She sighed.

"You're quite hard to locate. I've been looking for you for days and not once have I been able to procure your whereabouts."

"That's funny because I've been in all your classes for days."

"And then you disappear and don't reappear until the second before the bell rings."

"What do you want Lupin?" She said tersely.

"To talk." He said honestly putting down his book.

"Just to talk." She said her eyebrows furrowing in disbelief. It was rather a cute expression he decided.

"Just to talk." He confirmed.

"Pardon my paranoia but I find it hard to believe that a Marauder stakes me out 'Just to talk'."

"Well Sirius interrupted our conversation in the hall and I wanted to finish it."

"The conversation was so important you had to stoop so low as to stalk me?"

"Stalk you, Desi? How could I stalk you if I can't find you?" he pointed out and she rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"What did you want to talk to me about?"

"The list." He said and she nodded. "Why did you write it?"

"Because I wanted some whipped cream I'd been craving it." She said trying to keep a straight face. Remus looked at her in disbelief before cracking a smile.

"For what exactly? Because I remember '...they do not need to know neither my fantasies nor my shopping list.'" He recited from memory.

"It was the latter, Lupin, call me old fashion but I'm not into all that free love."

"Ah so you prefer people to pay?"

"Are you insinuating something, Mr. Lupin?" She asked glaring at him.

"N-n-no what I meant to say is..." He stuttered turning red in embarrassment.

"I know you were joking. Perhaps we should have this conversation when we are both well rested."

See it's still getting longer and I managed to keep it from getting Angsty not to hard seeing that even I had to squint to see the plot as it's not much more than me rambling. I tend to do that when I'm hungry. But know its 12:30 AM and I am going to eat and sleep.
