Chapter Eight- Singing Beauty

As Remus paced back and forth through his dorm, he started to get nervous. It's nothing to worry about, you guys are going to have a nice little chat. You're going to get to know each other and everything will be fine. He kept telling himself. Before he left the dorm, he made sure everyone was asleep. James was spending the night in the old dorm with the rest of the Marauders and he and Sirius has a tendancy to spy on his chats with girls. As he made his way down the stairs to enter the common room, he could see the top of her head, barely peaking over the top of the couch. He smiled, he could hear her, just barely, singing a song. A song that wasn't familiar to his ears.

'Good evening.' he said, as he rounded the couch and sat down in a big arm chair.

'Good evening yourself.' She replied, smiling, 'I thought you had stood me up or something.'

As Remus continued to look at her, he focused more on the clothes she was currently wearing. Her blue and green flanno pajama pants were fairly baggy and her white tank top barely show over her zipped up grey sweater.

'Of course I wouldn't. Why would you think that?'

She only shrugged.

'I took so long, I thought you might be sleeping when I got down here.'

'Naw, I'm very wide awake tonight. Just finished reading a book, and I was just thinking about stuff. My parents and everything.'

'Oh, yeah Sirius was telling us about your parents. I'm so sorry.'

'Thank you. The anniversary of their death is coming up soon. It's on a weekend this year so I think I'm going to go visit their gravesite.'

'Where is it?'

'In Ireland. That's why I'm thankful it's on a weekend.'

There was, then, an akward moment of silence.

'So,' Remus said, nervously, 'What do you want to talk about?'

Julianna laughed, 'Your so cute.You don't have to be nervous or anything Remus. Just relax. So, tell me about your family.'

'Well, I'm a half-blood. My dad is a Pureblood and my mum is a Muggleborn. When I was eleven, I came to Hogwarts, met James, Sirius and Peter and thats basically it.'

'Really? Aw, come on Remus, your telling me nothing else happened before you came to Hogwarts? Nothing good happened when you were a little kid?'

Remus shuttered, he could hear the voice of his mother, father and the the doctor standing over him, disscussing his condition.

'Is my little boy going to be okay.' he could here his mother ask, trembling as she asked it.

'I'm afraid not, Mrs. Lupin. It was indead a werewolf that attacked your son.' The Doctor replied.

'Can't you do something? I'll do anything, please! Just make my son better.' His dad begged the doctor.

'I'm afraid there is nothing I can do, Mr. Lupin. Your boy has caught Lycanthropy.'

'No, nothing really happened. Except, when I was nine, my grandfather I was really close to died.'

'I'm so sorry.' Julianna said.

'Thanks, but hey, that's nothing compared to what you've had to go through.'

'Yeah.' Julianna mummbled.

'What's wrong?'

'Nothing, it's just that, everyone says that and it makes me feel really stupid, like I need people's pitty.'

'I'm sorry.'

Julianna smiled, 'No, it's not your fault. You didn't know.'

'So, is it okay if you tell me more about your family.'

'Sure. My parents and I lived in Ireland up until I was five, that's when they were murdered. Then I was transported to an orphanage in America to keep me safe. When I was eleven I attended Brunes and now I'm here.'

'How come you had to move here from America?'

'Well..Voldemort must have found me I guess. He really wants to finish off my family, and I'm the last remaining person of my family, so I'm hidding out here under Dumbledore's protection.'

'Off topic, what were you singing when I came down here?' Remus asked.

'Oh that. It was a song my mum use to sing to me before I went to sleep at night. I use to have a musicbox that played it but, Tammy's twin smashed it the first night we got here. I had it since I was two'

'Yeah, she can be a...well..really rude sometimes. Julianna?'

'Yeah?'

'Could you maybe sing it for me?'

She blushed, 'Oh I couldn't. I'm not very good at singing in front of people. And plus I'm not very good'

'Please.'

'No I couldn't.'

'Please!' Remus said, giving her puppy dog eyes.

She smiled, 'Oh alright.'

She took several deep breaths, and closed her eyes before finally opening up her mouth and allowing the beauty of the words to escape:

Dancing bears,
Painted wings

Things I almost remember

And a song someone sings Once upon a December

Someone holds me safe and warm

Horses prance through a silver storm

Figures dancing gracefully Across my memory

Far away, long ago Glowing dim as an ember,
Things my heart used to know,
Once upon a December

Someone holds me safe and warm

Horses prance through a silver storm

Figures dancing gracefully

Across my memory

Far away, long ago

Glowing dim as an ember,
Things my heart used to know,
Things it yearns to remember

And a song someone sings Once upon a December

When she finished, she opened her eyes, her cheeks slightly flushed from her singing, 'It was bad wasn't it.'

Bad was far beyond the word to describe her voice. She was incredible. And she thought she wasn't good.

'That was beautiful.' Remus finally said in awe.

'Your just saying that.'

'No, honestly, that was so...wow. There really isn't a word to describle your voice. It was...heavenly.'

'Thank you.' She replied blushing, 'You know what? Your not at all what I expected you to be like Remus.'

'Oh.'

'I expected you to be alot like James and Sirius. But your absolutly, 100 percent different from them. Your sensetive, your a good listener. Your a really wonderful person.'

Remus chuckled, 'Maybe you get to know me a bit better, maybe you'll change your mind.'

Julianna laughed, 'Maybe.'

They spent another three hours asking different questions back and forth.

'Favourite colour?' Julianna asked.

'Every shade of Blue there is. Yours?'

'White, Pink and Blue.'

'You know what? Talking to you for these past couple hours, I realised how different you are too. Different than I ever thought you would be.'

'Thank you. Well, it's about three AM, guess we'd better pack it in.' She replied, getting out of her seat and heading towards the stairs to the girls' dorms.

'Wait! Julianna can I ask you something?' Remus said, rushing after her.

'Sure What...is it.' She said, yawning.

It's now or never Remus. He said to himself.

Screw asking her to the stupid dance! Jump her already and take her! The wolf replied.

'Shut up!' Remus said.

'Pardon?' Julianna asked, confuessed.

'Nothing. Uh. Wouldyouliketogotothehalloweenballwithme?'

Julianna smiled, 'Remus, your going to have to slow down a bit. Now, what did you ask me?'

'Do...do you...do you want to go to the Halloween Ball with me?'

The smile on Julianna's face was no longer there. Instead, her face was serious, hurt looking.

'Oh Remus, Remus I'm so sorry. I can't.'

'What? Why not?'

'I...I already said I would go with Sirius. He asked me today when we were leaving The Three Broomsticks.'

'What! You can't go with him. Why!'

'Well, I didn't want to hurt his feelings. I didn't have a reason not to go with him, so I didn't think it would be such a big deal.'

'It is a big deal!' Remus gritted through his teeth.

'And why is that!' Julianna said, crossing her arms, becoming defensive.

'It's a big deal because he doesn't like you! But I do!' Remus said, walking past her and up to his dorm.

Julianna went to chase after him, but when she heard a door slam shut, she didn't bother.

She made her way back to the couch she was sitting on and flopped down on it.

As she lied there for a mintue, she let the tears that had built up in her eyes, run down her cheeks.

She had really screwed it up
