A/N Hiya! I know it's been ages since I last updated but I've had exams and exams and I went on holiday for all of half term so I'm really sorry! From this chapter onwards, older Remus is now known as Longmoon. I also apologise for this being really short and not being an actual chapter. It's sort of…main characters' thoughts. The list includes:
Hermione
Remus
Sirius
James
Longmoon
This is either the second to last or maybe if I can stretch it out, third to last, though that's unlikely.
PS spot the line from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer."
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters, just a twist. I also don't own the line from Buffy.
Interlude
Hermione's PoV
OK, I feel mean. I kissed Remus while I was still going out with Sirius and then ended it with Sirius and sat with Remus in front of him. I like Sirius, I really do. But not in that way. I only went out with him so he'd stop nagging. Then, everyday he's kissing me, whispering in my ear and acting like I'm his property. Remus…he's different. He's always sweet and caring. Well, almost always. I wish he'd told me he was a werewolf before. I wouldn't have, no I don't care. To tell the truth, I've liked him for, well, years. He's the only guy in our year that cares more about his grades than the next joke. He's really shy and I've never out why. Sirius and James have overshadowed hem for seven years and he deserves his place in the spotlight for once. So why do I feel so guilty?
Remus' PoV
Sirius is acting too nice. I'm going out with his ex and he doesn't care. He's being really friendly. Oh well, anyway…Hermione and I are going out now! I know, I know, I'm starting to sound like James did when he and Lily started going out. But I'm allowed to. I've liked Mi for years and was really broken when she and Sirius went out for all of two weeks. I can't believe we're really together! That kiss was…unbelievable and she doesn't care that I'm…well, a monster. One thing I can't get out of my mind, though, is where is Peter? I know I shouldn't wonder because he's a traitor but he's disappeared off Hogwarts. I was looking at the Marauders Map and he's just not here. The new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, aka older me, is really great! He let us win over Snape's team by giving me a werewolf question. I suppose he knows what it's like to be me, an overshadowed monster. I can still smell Mi, even though she's in her dorm. Hmm…a werewolf in love.
Sirius' PoV
Really, I'm not that upset. Honestly! No one believes me on this, but it's true. Ok I like Hermione, she's pretty and fun to be with, but I knew it wasn't going to last. I could see that she only likes me as a friend, she had trouble even saying that she would go out with me. But, man, two weeks! That's the longest I've been with a girl in years. Ok, Remus is sending me weird looks, like I'm going to jump up and kill him any second. I really don't care that he and Hermione are together, she was just a bit of fun. I knew that he liked her and, although you had to look hard to find it, she really likes him too. Now I feel bad. I upset two of my best friends, just for a bit of fun. I know I didn't treat Mione in the best way possible, but I don't know how to do that. Remus has just perked up a bit. He's smiling to himself. Should I be worried? No, he's settled down now. Oh well. God, that Levy, what's her name? Umm… Stacy, yeah, Stacy. She's hot! I'm gonna talk to her tomorrow, I think, and see if anyone notices how fine I am.
Remus Longmoon's PoV
Lost. That's how I feel. Lost and alone. The only other person who could even imagine the feeling is Hermione Granger. But she feels like she belongs. I suppose, in a way, that she does. We, well, younger us, know that she doesn't belong, but we won't give her up. I know how this ends, if she comes back. But she won't. There is no back to go to. There is no future, no Harry and Ron to tempt her there. She has to go home and I look forward to restoring the timeline. I know it may seem harsh, but it's true. Harry and Ron need her, and she left them for a new gut. Ok, I enjoyed being with her but I knew that the timeline had to be fixed, I just wouldn't admit it. I remember this, I really do. I'm going to fall in love and have my heart ripped out, but it has to be done. Or, "I had my…" oh I don't know. God, this makes no sense at all. I have, but I will, but I have, but…oh, shut up. Anyway, if I can stop Hermione from destroying the timeline any more then we can erase Sirius', James', Lily's, Peter's and my memories and its sorted. Where did Peter go! The only downside is no…wait a second.
James' PoV
Sirius is upset. He's not showing it, but he is. Not at Hermione, no, he's fine with her. Remus, he feels like he betrayed his friend. That's the worst feeling for Sirius. He's true to his animagus form. He's an extremely loyal friend and feeling this bad for Remus has got to be killing him. Moving on, there are two Remuses! I really can't get my head around that. It just means more company during the full moon. Is that a good thing? I mean, our Remus (who will turn into that Remus) is careful about who he hangs around with. I don't think the fact that it's him will influence the 'no others, whether they're animagi or not' rule he imposed on us in fifth year. He doesn't feel like he can be seen like that by anyone else. To tell the truth, he didn't really want us to see him in wolf form. He doesn't seem to realise that we don't care, we're his friends and we don't care about his lycanthropy. We're never going to leave him, no matter what he is. Well, unless he turns death eater or something like that but how likely is that? This is Remus we're talking about. He would never turn to Voldemort. EVER! Changing the subject, Lily and I have been going out for two months. She's perfect, smart, funny, beautiful and I…I love her.
A/N I said it was short. Only one and a half pages in Word. Please review!
