My Heart Belongs To You
A Great Team
That night was ages ago. Since then so much had happened. Christmas had been the typical Potter affair. A light ball, Aimee and Sirius snuck out early getting tired of the stiffness of their parents' friends. Lily had been tired and departed early, as did James, but Lily requested to remain in her room alone. Andromeda had left for a vacation, she had decided to travel Europe for the last week of break with Halo, then Halo would be going back to America, Andromeda did not know what would come of her. Remus was hurt but soon got over it.
There as the bad news, and the not so good news, to good news.
Professor Dumbledore had contacted Edwin and Jillian to inform them that they did have a spot at Hogwarts, and would be sorted into their houses' upon arrival. They would both be going into seventh year. Edwin was in his last year at their school in America, and Jillian was in advanced classes and requested the advance upon registration.
So here the group was, on the train ride to Hogwarts, potentially the last that the group would see in a long time.
"So Remus, how are you holding up?" Jill asked lightly as the train quickly sped through the surroundings. A light snow had begun to fall, and Remus and Jill where in a compartment together. Sirius and Aimee were off somewhere together, Lily and James had left to talk in the Heads' compartment for a couple minutes, and Edwin, and well he was somewhere or other.
"Fine." Remus said flatly. It was clear to everyone that he was depressed, but he wouldn't show it.
"Remus, I'm the last person you should ever lie to, and you know it." Jill said sternly. Remus just continued to stare at the ground like he hadn't heard a word she said. "Look at me Remus." She said when he continued to stare aimlessly at the ground.
"What Jill?" He said without looking up at her. He didn't want to deal with this now. It was all too much.
"You know what Remus. It was years ago forget about it." She said. He finally looked up. It was pale, but the full moon had been two weeks ago, so that wasn't the reason. It was something else, something that only someone who knew him very well would understand. Something not even James or Sirius would understand. It was deep and Jill was the only one who could see it.
"No, I can't, I won't." Remus said stubbornly. Jill stared at him not so sure of herself. Luckily Remus continued. "You started chasing my best friend Jill. What we had wasn't a one night fling and you through it all away." Remus said flatly still looking at the round.
"I'm sorry Remus." She said in a low voice, though it carried.
The door to their compartment flew open.
"Why are you sorry?" James asked giving her cousin an evil glare as he was followed in by Lily, Sirius, and Aimee with all equally confused glares on their faces.
"Don't worry about it guys." Remus spoke up before Jill could say anything. Remus also through her a derisive looks that clearly said to leave it there.
"If you say so," Lily said offhandedly not worrying about it. "Anyway, anything new going on with you all?" She said changing subject.
"Not a thing Evans." Lily looked to the open door, she knew that voice anywhere.
"Leave now." Lily said without turning around. She grabbed Sirius and James, Aimee helped, knowing Lily was dangerous, but Jill stood up.
"Who are you?" She asked standing her ground as Natalie stared her down. Natalie looked her up and down not ever seeing any girl like her before.
"Natalie Keri, and who might I ask do you think you are?" She asked evilly, she looked at her with a look of pure hatred.
"Potter, Jillian Potter." Jill smirked at her and swung her long red hair around, and her eyes showed furry. NO one dare mess with Jillian Potter.
"Jill, these girls giving you trouble?" It was Edwin at the door. To the surprise of everyone he was holding Snape by the collar. "And who may I ask is this fine young gentlemen?" He added acidly.
"Oh, you've met Snivvelly." Sirius said cheerfully.
"Back away Black." Natalie said intently.
"Nah, I don't think he wants to." It was Lily who spoke this time.
"Leave now, Natalie, Snivvelly, don't think I won't take house points." James said threateningly.Natalie gave him a dirty look and turned and walked away.
"We're too good." Lily said with a smirk that could rival James at times. "You know as scary as this sounds, we do make a wonderful team. Who would've thought?" Lily said with a laugh.
"Yeah I know. Two fiery red heads, a Secret Auror girl, three hot heads, and a secretive guy. We are too good." Jill agreed. They all shared a fun laugh.
"Hey! I'm not a secretive guy!" Remus said finally catching on, the rest turned to look at him.
"Remus, de-Nial, is not just a river in Egypt you know." Aimee said smartly. Remus looked at her with an amused expression.
"I'm not in denial." He said finally, staring at the ground.
"If you say so, but that just proves you are." Jill said lightly, but looked at him and everyone knew she could see through the mask.
"Anyway, now that Remus has caught on, I'm hungry." Aimee said. "How much longer till we're back?" She turned and asked her twin.
"Not long," Lily replied. "We should get changed."
