Finally its Christmas break! But, I haven't been in a writing mood lately. But, it was just ya'lls luck that I was hyper tonight (thanks to Bree) and that usually puts me in a good writing mood. I like this part. But I think this is how it would've happened between Ashley and Remus. Kind of short. But seeing as the next part isn't written, I couldn't add it. So anway, replies…thanks everyone you guys are amazing!

Pip the mit squeak- Thanks! Yeah, friends is good. Sirius will get someone to snog sooner than later ;-) and I don't know if you'll be able to guess who lol. But you cant really blame bree for not snogging him…imagine you snogging your enemy. Yeah I def wouldn't want to.

Emps- Thanks! Can't wait to see your story up! Yeah, more bree/Sirius soon and I'm really excited bout it! Lol this chap is mainly ashley/remus. And some of next chapter will be ashley/remus too

Sachiael- thanks. Um yeah well if you want me to stop a fic so I can finish another one then id stop this one. So if you really want that I can definitely stop writing…it wouldn't bother me any….altho some of the readers might be mad at you and me. and i've alread finished 3/6 stories of mine. thats half done. and i'm halfway done with another so that would be 4/6 soon. but once again, if ur gonna complain i can certinaly stop writing THIS story becuase L&F is much more important to me than this one.

Gemm'n2590- thanks. If your confused maybe you should re-read the chapter before and maybe you'd undstand a lil better cuz other ppl don't seem to have that problem and I rechecked it and there was nothing there that could possibly confuse anyone

Chapter 39: Secrets

"Remus?" Ashley knocked lightly on the boys' dorm door, "Are you in there?"

Movement was heard inside of the room for a minute before the door was cracked open.

"Ashley?" Remus said popping his head out, "What's up?"

"Can I talk to you?" she asked.

"Um, yeah," he said, "Let me just put a shirt on."

Ashley smiled to herself as she heard stuff being thrown around inside of the room as Remus searched for a clean shirt. She had never been in a boy's dorm…but she could only imagine what it looked like.

"Alright," Remus said swinging the door back open, "Where do you want to talk?"

"Um, well it's kind of private so I don't want to go in the common room." Ashley stated.

"Well," Remus said scratching his neck, "There's no one in…here."

"Alright," Ashley said putting her hands behind her back and waiting.

"Oh right," Remus said opening the door so she could come in.

Ashley's images of a teenage boy's dorm were worse than she imagined. Clothes were thrown everywhere. Wrappers surrounding the trash can, yet none managed to be in it. Books were pushed under an unmade bed. Parchment scattered the room like snow.

It was quite a sight. And obviously Remus realized it by the look on Ashley's face.

"Sorry it's messy," he blushed, "We blame Sirius for most of it."

Ashley laughed and sat down on the only bed that wasn't lost under clothes.

"So, what do you want to talk about?" he sat down next to her on the bed.

"Well," she said looked down at her hands, "I kind of wanted to talk about us…and you."

"Me?" Remus said in an odd tone.

"Yeah," she stated quietly, "What has been up with you lately? You've been acting really weird."

"Weird?" He asked, "How so?"

"Just…different." She said, trying to search for the right words, "I can tell something's bothering you."

Remus ran his hands threw his hair, "I think I have something to tell you."

"You think?"

"Yeah," he sighed, "I'm going to tell you because I trust that you won't tell anyone else."

"What is it?" she asked quietly.

"Well," he sighed, "I have to go to the bathroom."

"Um, okay," Ashley said as Remus jumped up and headed towards the bathroom.

"Remus," he said to himself in the mirror, "You can do this. It's Ashley. She'll understand."

"Remus?" Ashley knocked on the bathroom door, "Are you okay?"

"Yeah," he said opening the bathroom door, "Great."

"You're acting weird again." She stated, "And you're starting to sweat. Are you feeling okay?"

"No," he replied sitting back down, "I mean yes."

"Do you want to go to the hospital wing?"

"Every month I transform into an animal."

"You don't look very good." She said feeling his forehead.

"It started when I was bitten as a kid."

"You're warm."

"Ashley," he said grabbing her face so she would focus on him. "I turn into a werewolf every month."

Ashley's eyes widened and she relaxed, "You what?"

"When I was young, I was bitten by a werewolf. Ever since, I've transformed into a werewolf every month." He explained.

Ashley said quietly staring at her hands.

"I know this probably scared you."

"Why didn't you tell me before?" she asked suddenly.

"Ashley, I didn't want to loose what we had! I like you a lot!" he replied.

"We've been going out for a long time. And I've known you most of my life!" she cried.

"True, but it doesn't mean that I didn't want to tell you!" he replied, "You have no idea how many times I've tried. And ever since we started dating it hurt me every day!"

"Did you not trust me!?" she said, her eyes tearing up.

"No, I trusted you," he replied, "I had to wait until the right time."

"The right time was months later? Or were you just waiting until you were don't snogging me!?"

"Ashley! It's not like that!" Remus said jumping up, "I just told you one of my deepest secrets and you think I didn't tell you because I wanted to snog you!? I'm not like most guys who only like a girl because of their lips! I care about you…a lot!"

"I've got to go." Ashley said standing up, "I've got to get some air."

"Ashley-" Remus said trying to stop her.

"I have to go." She said walking right past him and out the door.

"Dammit, Remus." He sighed to himself as he fell onto his bed.

"Woah, what was all that about?" Sirius said walking into the dorm, "Something wrong with you and Ashley?"

"I think we're broken up," Remus said, his head underneath his pillow.

"Did you guys run out of snogging places?" Sirius laughed at his joke.

"It's not like that Padfoot." Remus' muffled voice replied.

"What was it then?" Sirius strolled over towards Remus' bed.

"I just-"

"No you didn't, Moony!" Sirius exclaimed, suddenly comprehending the whole situation, "You didn't tell her about you know what did you?"

"Which you know what?" Remus asked, taking the pillow off his face, "We have a lot of 'you know what's'."

"About you being a…a…well you know." Sirius said softly.

"Yeah, I told her." He sighed, laying his head back down, "And she didn't take it too well."

"Damn, Moony," Sirius replied, "I'm sorry, mate."

"Yeah," he sighed, "Me too."

"You should go and talk to her." Sirius suggested, "You know, let her know you still care for her and if she cared for you then she'd keep it a secret."

"I don't know," Remus replied, "It doesn't seem like a very good idea."

"Trust me, I've gone threw everything when it comes to girls." He replied.

"Maybe you are right." Remus said sitting up, "I should go and talk to her. Besides, I don't want her to say anything."

"That's the spirit, buddy!" Sirius said lounging on his bed, "And while you're at it why don't you go and talk some sense into my girlfriend."

"What do you mean?" Remus asked when he reached the door, "Something going on between the two of you?"

"Eh, you know how it goes," Sirius shrugged, "We were just in a bit of a tiff a bit ago."

"About?" Remus questioned.

Sirius suddenly realized that he was giving away a little too much information, "She wants to snog all the time and I don't."

Remus snorted, "You always know the right jokes to make me laugh, Padfoot."

"Anytime, Moony," Sirius laughed.

Remus walked towards the door and swung it open. He was about to march right out and talk to Ashley but someone was in his way that was preventing him from doing so.

"Ashley?" He asked.

"Can we talk?" she asked, tears falling down her face.

Remus looked at Sirius who was already getting up, "See you two later." He said walking out the door.
