The day had been horrible; Christine couldn't get her dream out of her head. The only thing that kept her going was the thought of being able to meet Remus after dinner. She rushed out of Astronomy, the last class of the day, and quickly put her bag in her dorm, then bolted towards the Great Hall, knocking two very frightened looking first years down in the process. She walked into dinner and sat at her usual place, incredibly grateful that Lucius was no where to be seen, she was in no mood to deal with him. However, it seemed the fates had a different idea, because at that moment, she felt a hand on the small of her back, as the person attached to the hand sat down next to her.

"Hello Christine."

"Hi Lucius."

She grabbed for a piece of chicken and winced when she felt his hand travel up her leg. "Lucius, it's been a very long day, and if you want to one day make your wife happy, I suggest you move your hand."

Lucius simply smirked at her and took away his hand, placing it gently on her knee, "Well now, you wouldn't want to deprive yourself of your future marital pleasure now would you?"

Christine turned her glare at him, "What makes you think that I will marry you?"

Lucius began putting his food on his plate, a smug expression once again masking his features, "Nothing, absolutely nothing."

Christine rolled her eyes and ate her food quickly, stealing a glance towards the Gryffindor table. The marauders were sitting near the end of the table, laughing about something. She briefly caught Remus' eye and he shook his head. Christine quickly swallowed the rest of her Pumpkin Juice and stood up; making her excuses, and left the Great Hall, making for the seventh floor.

Christine looked down the hall, made sure no one was around, and walked back and forth in front of the painting, thinking about what she wanted. Grinning she walked through the door that had just appeared and sat on the couch in the middle of the room, facing the fireplace. She sat in silence for a few moments until a familiar face walked through the door.

Remus walked in and sat next to Christine on the couch, looking into her eyes, "What's bothering you?"

Christine sighed and scooted over to him, resting her head on his shoulder, "Everything."

Remus held back a laugh and began stroking her hair, "Well then, let it out."

Christine took in a deep breath and began to talk, "Well, it all pretty much started this summer. I had to stay at Snape Manor as you know, and I though Jordan would back off a bit, but he ended up getting me worse than he ever have before. Well, Severus found out and he was angry but after that he kept somewhat close to me, and we started to get along. But Lucius kept popping up and I kind of threw him into the lake."

She felt Remus laugh and let out a little one herself, "I didn't mean to though, he surprised me while I was reading. But anyway, over the summer, I kind of, well, developed feelings for Severus, or, at least I think I have. But I'm worried about Sirius and James, they hate him and the last thing I want to do is ruin our friendship. Then ever since school started, Lucius has been very, well, touchy. He always keeps his hand on me, he says it's to ward off Narcissa, who by the way has kicked me out of my dorm, causing me to room in the 5th year boy's dorm, but I don't really believe him. Today at dinner he made a really odd comment, I said that if he wanted to be able to pleasure his future wife then he had to move his hand, and he said that I wouldn't do that to myself or some other rubbish, then I asked him what he was talking about and he just said nothing. But that's not the main thing that's bothering me. Last night I had a really odd dream..."

She told him about her dream, recalling every little detail, not wanting to let anything out. Once she had finished she looked back up at Remus whose face was partially scrunched up in concentration. "Well, first things first. I wouldn't worry about Sirius and James, they care about you, and all they want is to see you happy, even if it means that you and Severus are together. I wouldn't dwell too much on what Lucius said, rumor has it, and he's been trying to 'court' you so to speak, it's probably just his idea of flirting or something. Now as for you dorm situation, I find it quite comical, but I will try to keep the others from doing anything to drastic to the dorm, seems they have figured out a way to get into the Slytherin dorms. But about your dream, quite odd I must say. But Christine, I have to ask, can you swim?"

Christine looked up at him as though he were joking, but he just looked back at her and repeated the question, as serious as ever, "Um yeah I can."

"Did anyone teach you?"

"No, but wh-"

"When was the last time you were really upset and went outside?"

Christine looked back up at him trying to hide a tiny giggle, "This summer."

"Did it seem to get cloudy fast?"

"Well yeah but-"

"Well were you still out there when you had calmed down?"

"Yeah of course bu-"

"Was it still cloudy?"

"Well, no, it was quite sunny. Odd really, but Remus what does this have to do with anything?"

Remus looked back at her, a pensive look in his eyes, "Nothing. Now, is there anything else you wanted to talk about?"

"No, not really."

Remus gently lifted her off of his shoulder and stood up, "Well, Christine, I have to be going. Goodnight."

Christine watched him rush out of the room. 'Well that was certainly odd.' Shrugging to herself she got up from the couch and walked out. It had been a very long day.
