Find your name...
Butterflywings32- Remus is the type of guy you'd want to marry. Sirius is the type of guy you'd want to date, snog, or shag a couple of times. Thanks for the review!
FullMoon-insanity- Lovely name! Anyway, why do you have to stop reading slash? It's the best out there! I'm sure you can make an exception since you claim mine is one of the best, right? -looks at you with puppy dog eyes- Pwease?
Of Crows and Horses- I never really looked at it as revenge, but now that you mention it…it is kind of revenge isn't it? I figured that if Sirius thought that Remus was going to Hogsmeade with Lily on a date, then he'd want Remus to be happy no matter what. So then Sirius would have to realize that he couldn't just mope around all day, so he needed a date to Hogsmeade too! I LOVED the butter scene. It was fun to write, because I do things like that too.
Tomiko the Muse- I contradict 'ships all of the time. I love Remus/Sirius; Severus/Harry; Harry/Sirius; Remus/Harry; Remus/Severus. I feel bad for making you hungry, but look at it this way…I made myself hungry as well. Except if it's a chocolate chip bagel I don't put cream cheese on it, I only use butter. Yes, the chapter was somewhat shorter than the one before last, but this one is longer so hopefully it makes up for it. And hopefully you got your bagel…
NemesisMuse- 3 THANK YOU! HERE'S THE UPDATE ENJOY!
MasterLupin117-Yes I totally agree with you, they do need to learn how to communicate with each other. But if they knew how, I wouldn't have a story! Thanks for the review!
RemusLupinRocks- They are yummy! The Hufflepuff Hussy WILL get what's coming to her…
SlashyKitty- You know what, you've probably told me that…I've got a bad memory sometimes. Your welcome for the reply. I love angst as well. You'll probably like the next chapter then….-smirks evilly and laughs- MUAHAHAHAHA -cough hack cough- my bad…enjoy the chapter.
Hydraspit- In all honesty he'll….Ha…I shouldn't tell you buuuuuuuuut I'll make an exception…he cries.
Holy Snappers- Thank you!
Captain Oz- (7/28/05)actually I haven't read the 6th book yet….yes I know shame on me. But if you'd believe it, NONE of the Wal-marts around here have any! STILL! They didn't have any the day it came out, so I'm not real sure when they got here,and they still haven't gotten any. It's because where sooooooooooooooo many people had pre-ordered them. If they don't get them by the end of the month (July) then those books will be put back on the shelves.
(7/29/05) I have officially read HBP. We went to K-mart and they had a whole bunch of them there. It's probably because no one would think to look for them there, plus we live so far away from a K-mart all of the people would go looking for them at Wal-mart. I bought the book at 2:00 in the afternoon and finished it around 9:00 that evening. It was wonderful and I cried, though not as hard as I did when Sirius fell, but I cried nonetheless. As much as I LOATHE to admit it, the arch DID remind me of Moria, and the lake that Dumbledore and Harry went across reminded me of the Dead Marshes...which in turn will spawn more stupid people to say JKR stole JRRT's stuff-shrugs-…oh well.
aishteru- Sirius is being stupid, and let's just say that you'll have to wait for Sirius to realize that Moony likes him…
RainOwl- You're a wonky little bugger aren't you? That's all right, it makes you likeable! I've come to the conclusion that no one seems to like Bones…lol
stuck-in-a-tree: Yes it's evil, but this chapter is even more evil…evil-er? -shrugs- let's just say it's worse than the last. Besides I'm an evil person! Okay…I'm not really…I promise.
862494- Thank you much!
Bloody Opelia- Thank you, I'm glad you liked it! Sirius is conflicted, but he's trying to do what he thinks is the best for he and Moony, if you follow me. Thanks for the review!
Faerie Nyx- Have no fear m'dear. (Whoa I rhymed ) The update is here, way ahead of schedule too! Please refrain from killing Bones just yet. Save that for later.
Aussie Munchkin- Aww, Remus can't kill poor Sirius. Look at it from Sirius' side, he thinks that Remus likes Evans. -shrugs- what would you do? Thanks for the review!
freak nature- If you got mad over the last chapter because of Sirius' ignorance, then you'll….well I'll just let you read and find out what happens, eh?
RonaldYHarry- Here it is! Don't feel bad, I made myself hungry as well.
RanmasAngel- I'm glad you're enjoying it. Thank you, here's the update!
chaeli.meep.- I take it you enjoyed the last chapter? I hope you like this one as well!
A/N: You guys should feel lucky, this chapter wasn't supposed to come up this fast...but I figured that I would celebrate my reading of HBP...which I bought today (7/29/05) at 2:00 in the afternoon. I finished it today (7/29/05) at 9:00 p.m. And even though I'm not fond of Tonks and Remus...they're cute together in HBP...so here's to HBP (which the Wal-Mart in Lebanon, Virginia still doesn't have any. I had to go to Richlands/Claypool Hill, Virginia to a K-mart to buy the book. Which I don't live very close to Richlands/Claypool Hill...anyway I'm rambling...on to the chapter!
James cursed loudly as he walked throughout the halls of Hogwarts. He wasn't in a very good mood, and he had a damn good reason not to be. "I SWEAR THAT BOY IS THE DUMBEST FUCKING IDIOT I HAVE EVER MET IN MY WHOLE DAMN LIFE!" And of course, James was talking about Sirius Orion Black. Although James had considered officially changing his name to 'Sirius Dumbass-pillock-git-arsehole Black'. James had decided that the tallest of his best friends had to be clinically insane.
Peter walked slightly slower than James, resulting in the shorter boy being behind the irate one…and personally the shorter one decided he liked it better that way. Peter wasn't really sure why James was so mad at Sirius, but he had somewhat of an idea. 'James is hacked off at Sirius because he went out with that bird! Oh sometimes Peter ol' boy, you out do yourself! You really, really do!' He thought to himself as he was walking out the door, trailing James to Hogsmeade.
Lily Evans sighed as she walked out of the Infirmary. She felt so sorry for Remus and wished that he could've come with her to Hogsmeade. But he had come down with a cold (or something close to that) because someone had left the window open last night. 'Madame Pomfrey could mend broken bones, make most scars fade away, cool and heal burns, but the Healer couldn't get rid of a Common Cold?' She thought to herself as she made her way down to the doors of Hogwarts on her way to Hogsmeade to buy Remus some chocolate and a get well gift.
Sirius sighed as Cheryl drug him into Madame Pudifoot's. He personally didn't like the place, but it seemed to make Cheryl happy, so he'd put up with it. They finally sat down at a very frilly and round table. Sirius glanced around the shop and noticed that the furnishings and color schemes were terribly tacky. He made a small noise which sounded a lot like "yuck", but had been quiet about it and made sure Cheryl didn't notice.
Cheryl drug him in his chair closer to herself. Sirius looked at her as the waiter placed two cups of tea on the table. She sat with her crossed legs touching Sirius', andher hands placed on the table inching closer to Sirius' every so often. Sirius stared at her hands and then quickly moved his to his cup of tea and picked it up.
Cheryl made a 'humph' noise and picked her cup up as well. Sirius glanced at her out of the corner of his eye as he was gulping the tea down. 'I'm supposed to be enjoying myself. And she doesn't look very happy…I wonder what Remus is doing? I hope he's happy. With Evans.'
Sirius wasn't aware that all of his tea was gone and he tried to continue drinking the warm liquid. He finally looked down into his cup and realized there wasn't a single drop of tea left and then cleared his throat. "Would you like to get out of here and go shopping?" Sirius asked her.
Cheryl cocked her head to the side and seemed to be thinking about it for a while, but the soon answered yes. Sirius threw a few sickles on the table and grabbed Cheryl's hand, twining their fingers together, as they walked out of the frilly, tacky, pink door. They made their way to the toy store known as Mopkin's Toys hand in hand.
Lily walked around the toy shop with a box of dark chocolate in her hands. She wasn't really sure what to get Remus as a get well soon gift. She walked passed a shelf of stuffed animal cats. 'Hmmm, no. Not at all. Remus doesn't seem like a cat person.' The red-haired girl walked around to the other side, spying a fluffy black dog. It was somewhat large and had large blue eyes.
'Remus, I hope he likes this…' She thought to herself as she placed it on the counter and dug around in her change purse and then laid some Galleons in the hand of the cashier. With the box of chocolates and the stuffed animal safely in her bag, she walked out into the streets, planning on making her way to Hogwarts to give Remus his presents.
And that's when she seen them, holding hands and walking straight towards her. Sirius handed Bones a flower and Cheryl, obviously in a stage of bravery, brought Sirius' head closer to her's and kissed him soundly on the mouth. And by the looks(and sounds) of it, Sirius was reciprocating and enjoying it.
"Hey Lily! Madame Pomfrey said I should be fine now, I healed quicker than what she thought I would." Lily jumped and turned to see one Remus Lupin walking towards her. Towards her and Sirius and Bones. Lily couldn't let her friend see the two "love birds" necking right there in the middle of the road.
"Remus! These are for you!" She cried as she hugged him with one arm while spinning him around with his back towards Sirius and Bones, and then shoved the bag into his hands.
"Oh? Why?" he asked as he moved the bag to his other hand.
"W-well, you see, they're g-get well soon gifts, but you can't look at them yet. Let's go back to the castle and we'll look at them there." She said nervously as she stood on her tip toes to peek over Remus' shoulder to see where the couple had gone to.
"What're you looking for Lil?"
"Hmm? Oh nothing, nothing. Just umm, checking for---"
"For what?" he asked starting to turn around.
"Remus! Please don't turn around. Just please don't."
Remus looked at Lily like she was crazy.
"What is there some big, bad monster behind me?" he askedsarcastically and with a smile etched into his features.
"No, worse." The girl muttered under her breath as so Remus couldn't hear her, but he did. He raised an eyebrow and turned to see Sirius and Cheryl Bones snogging. Remus gasped as thoughtsthat Sirius hadn't meant anything he had said about loving him ran rampantly through his head. He didn't want to be with Remus. He liked the Hufflepuff Hussy.
"Here." Remus said quietly as he handed the bag back to Lily. "Thanks anyway, but you shouldn't have gotten it Lily." The werewolf looked as if he were ready to cry as he walked passed Sirius and Cheryl.
"REMUS WAIT!" she screamed out. The autumn boy turned around, the tears that were falling down his face were visible from where Lily was standing. She felt her heart breaking for her friend as he stood a little ways behind Sirius.
Sirius jerked away from Cheryl as he heard Remus' name being screamed. He acted like just the name burnt him just as badly as a flame would. He turned towards Lily and seen where her gaze was directed. The dog Animagus twisted slowly in the direction of Remus and the sight was carved and imprinted into his memory forever.
Standing there with his arms wrapped around himself, tears pouring down his face causing some of his golden hair to stick to his face, a broken look on his face, was Remus. His dear, lovely Remus. Remus shook his head despairingly, wiped some of the tears of his face, turned, and made his way back to Hogwarts.
A small voice in the back of Remus' mind told him he should have stayed in the Hospital Wing today, but he just didn't listen.
