Chapter eight: Remus Is Just Too Smart

"Hey Harry," Lily winked at him, Harry couldn't believe it, his mum just winked at him. Not the usual motherly wink, the I-so-want-you wink, it was really freaking him out...

"H-Hey, I gotta go...Cya later Remus..." Harry bumped his knee in his desperate attempt to run away.

"What's the rush?" Lily asked looking slightly disappointed, "Maybe I could come with you?"

Harry gulped,

"I'm uhh...Going to...Study! Not very interesting-"

"I could help you!" Lily smiled helpfully or was it hopeful?

"No! I mean no thanks...I like to study alone...Cya later..." Harry sprinted out of the library, leaving Lily and Remus alone.

Lily threw her hand up in the air in frustration,

"What am I doing wrong!" she cried.

Remus raised an eyebrow,

"Was that a retorical question?"

Lily sighed,

"Depends if you have a real answer..."

Another thing Remus never told the marauders was his friendship with Lily, guess it never really came up in everyday conversation. He'd been friend with Lily since second year when they had to work together for a potions assignment.

Remus shrugged,

"I hate to tell you Lily, but I don't think he's into you..."

"Why though? He's seemed so excluded ever since he came here! He must hate Hogwarts, me and everyone here! Everyone's horrible to him, because James hates him for some unknown reason and-" Lily paused her ranting, "Remus wipe that amused look off your face!"

"Lily, I'm not amused, I'm thinking."

"Well stop thinking! Your always thinking, just stop for a second!" Lily took a breath, "And for some reason he finds me repulsive and-"

"Oh my..." Remus suddenly gasped.

"I know! I'm not that bad am I? I mean - Oh for god sake Remus, please!"

Remus jumped up,

"Sorry Lily, maybe another time?"

"But I'm depressed now!"

"Lily, I say this as your friend. You are not depressed, because Lily Evans never gets upset over a boy, you're just annoyed and want to go on about how unfair it is. This is you female instincts rearing their over-analysing head. Now excuse me while I try and solve a mystery!"

Lily's eyes grew round,

"A mystery? How did it occur, without me-"

"Another time Lily..." Remus grabbed his books and made a dash for the library door.

'Another guy to run for the exit in my presence' Lily looked around the almost empty library, she spotted one of Remus's books he left behind, "Werewolves: Vicious Beasts or Merely Misunderstood?". Lily rolled her eyes,

"Some of the crap Remus reads..." She picked it up to read it anyway.

"Harry! Stop!" Remus panted. Apparently not hearing him, Harry kept running toward Gryffindor tower. Remus groaned as his bookbag banged against his thigh and his arms ached from holding a large dictionary. He sped up, still calling Harry, who suddenly stopped,

"Remus?"

Remus caught up to him,

"Y-Your...I noticed..." Remus puffed, he took a deep breath, "I know the real reason why you won't go out with Lily."

"You do?"

Remus nodded,

"It all seems to make sense! The eyes, the resemblance."

Harry paled,

"I have no idea what you're on about..."

"Oh for god sake! Harry, I'm not stupid! Your not really Harry Smith! You look so much like James it's not funny and you have Lily's eyes. You reject Lily, because she's your mother! You, Harry Potter have been doing some time travelling!"
