Enjoy:
Chapter 2:
"Oh come on Lily Billy! You know you want to talk to me!" shouted the boy that had been bugging her earlier in what he probably thought to be his most handsome voice ever. To me, and probably the others in the room, he sounded like a whiney two year old who needed their nappy-poo.
"James, GO AWAY!" she screeched at him. I could sense a bit of tension between the two, but it was rather hilarious, and I could help but stifle a laugh. Poor guy, that I now found to be James.
"Did you just call me James? Woah. Is my charm starting to rub off on Ms. Evans over here?"
"I mean…Potter. Just leave me alone, will you!"
"Bu-"
"No buts! Go away! I will never EVER go out with such an idiot like you! EVER, EVER, EVER!"
The ranting continued for quite a while with the same harsh tone as Lily, and the same baby-ish voice of James. I could tell that it was not going to go anywhere, so I thought a nice nap would do the trick. Just as I stood up, and was about to leave, I found a hand reach right on my waist, and turned around to find the handsome man was doing this action. A small bit of heat started to creep up into my cheeks, and I knew in moments I was blushing.
"Now what is a gorgeous lady like you doing going to bed when you've only just arrived?"
"Um…I was hoping to get some sleep?" Oh yeah, smooth move Colette.
"Why don't you just come sit next to me?" Before I could decline, I found the hand that was placed on my waist, was gliding me over to a couch surrounded by marauders. Alright so there was only the striking guy and me on one couch, and then another pretty handsome guy on a chair next to us, who I could tell was staring right at us. Yet again, the heat started to rise in my cheeks. Then there was the pudgy boy in a chair a little farther, so I didn't have to worry as much.
"So what's your name?" he asked me, although I could tell he really didn't seem to care all that much.
"Er…Colette. Colette Bristow."
"I'm Sirius. Sirius Black." An awkward silence paused between the two of us before he spoke again. "Would you like a present for your welcoming?"
"Er…" That's when I knew what he would do. Sirius Black, the boy I had only met about two minutes about, was trying to snog me. No, I was not going to snog him. Infact, I put my hand right in front of his face, slapped him, and shouted "YOU BASTARD!" before walking off! All I could hear was clapping and screaming from the crowd. It was wonderful really, fabulous.
Alright fine, so I didn't do that. It was more like panic mode. Once he leaned in for the kiss, I pushed my hand in front of him, and his lips touched them. I studdered, "I…I've got to go…To…To unpack! Yes! Okay er…Bye!" He probably didn't even know I was gone until I was halfway up the stairs, and out of his sight. Sirius sighed heavily before picking himself back up, and probably waiting for another victim to come. I sat in front of my dormitory for a while, listening to what they all had to say about my odd exit.
"Sirius, you really should not have made a move on her. If you hadn't, maybe you would've had a chance with her. She's a lot better than any of your bimbos, if you haven't noticed," said the other quite good-looking boy, to Black.
"Oh come on. It wasn't that big of a deal. What, does Moony have a tinsy-winsy crushy-wushy?" asked Sirius in a voice that mothers use on their babies when they are only a few months old.
"Um…erm…no."
"Mhm. Whatever you say." Then I heard an outburst from Lily and some steps towards the stairs, when I knew that it was now time for me to act like I had been unpacking. I ran through the dormitory door, and started throwing around clothes onto my bed to look like it. Luckily, she bought it by the time she got into our shared dorm.
None of the girls were actually there yet, except her and I, so it was sort of awkward, although she was really nice to me.
"You are very lucky," she said gracefully, like a ballerina during a stage performance.
"What do you mean? Why am I lucky?"
"Remus likes you."
"Wha-? Who's Remus?"
"The guy that was sitting nearest you and Sirius."
"Oh…No he doesn't. How would you know?"
"He does. Did you see the way he looked at you? The only bad part is that Sirius likes you too I think. Poor, poor you. But be happy, Remus is the only decent marauder of the bunch."
"Oh." Yes, oh was all I could manage to gulp out, although my stomach fluttered with butterflies. Okay, they probably were just playing an act, but oh well. I guess I'd find out in the next few days.
"I don't know about you, but I want a little bit of sleep. What time is it?"
"It's only eight…"
"Well, I'm exhausted from the trip. G'night!" That's all I said before turning out my light, shoving my stuff off of my bed, and getting under the nice and comfy covers. Almost as soft as the ones back home. Oh home, I missed it so dearly. All the wonderful smells of homecooked meals, and pansies just outside. Home sweet home…
I was awoken by a hand in mine, telling me how great I was and such, so I turned on the light to find out who this dark figure that tells me such things is. I found it to be none other than the great looking Remus. He whispered in my ear, "Come follow me," and I trusted him with all I had, as he took my hand and led me out of the dormitory. We were both in our pajamas, yet it felt so right to leave off with him. We traveled through hallways that I had never seen before, full of strange people, who all seemed to be coupled up, and in dresses and tuxitos. Looking down at my own clothes, I found that I too was now in a very beautiful gown that you could tell probably cost tons of money that I never had. He too, was now in a tuxito like the rest of them. What I was wondering, was why all of them weren't dancing, but then I realized that they were all waiting for us, waiting for Remus and I to start with the first dance. We did, too. We swayed casually back and forth, as if we were doing it for years. His steps were like ice, smooth and sleek, as were mine. He gracefully picked me up and spun me every other moment or so, and it was rather romantic. Everyone else started joining in as we began to finish our dance. Once we finished, Remus led me out of the crowd, and into a garden, full of roses, pansies, daffodils, anything you could ever imagine, right before my eyes. They were beautiful, with all sorts of colors and what not. Magnificent, if you wish to call them. He began to clear his throat, as if to give some wonderful speech that he had prepared for a very long time. Yet only three words came out of his mouth. Alright so four, but three gives a better hint as to what it is.
"Colette, I love you."
I dumbly replied, "You what?"
"Love you. Only you."
"Aww…Remus I love you too." I said with a giant grin creasing onto my face. Then of course we kissed. The sweetest kiss you have ever seen in your life, and definitely the most passionate. It was only mere minutes before the gentle kiss was over, and I was back in my dormitory.
"Remus?"
"Hello..?"
"Reeeeemus?" I called out to nothingness. Not even Lily Evans was there to comfort me, and I found myself alone, all in my comforters waiting for someone or something to rescue me. I heard a whisper in my ear, but when I looked next to me, nothing was beside me. The presence of a warm body could be felt, but I couldn't see anyone anywhere in the dormitory, and it bugged me all too much.
"Hello? Is someone here?" Another whisper, a bit louder and clearer. It was saying, "I'm right here, Colette."
"Who was that?"
"Oh you know who I am…"
"Mom? Mom is that you?"
"It is, honey."
"Mom? Oh mom! Wait no, you're dead. This isn't real."
The voice still continued to talk however. The voice of my mom. It creeped me out, so I tucked my legs under my arms, and shifted back and forth. "MOM! YOU'RE DEAD!" I shouted out to the nothingness. "YOU'RE DEAD! DEAD! DEAD! DEAD!"
Then I felt the presence embrace me in what seemed to be a hug. At first I was scared to death by the hug, but then for that instant, that one instant, I actually thought that presence could be my mom's spirit. My mom. I hugged it tightly, and the feeling of another human was gone, and I was left all along yet again.
"COLETTE! Are you okay! I heard a bunch of screaming saying, 'YOU'RE DEAD! DEAD! DEAD! DEAD! DEAD!' It was actually rather creepy," came a voice that I finally could count on. Lily. Good, this was a lot better than hearing the sound of my mother's beautiful tone, because I just could not take more of my mother. I swore to move past her, so I couldn't just go straight back to the way things where when I was miserable every day, and wouldn't talk to anyone. No, that wouldn't happen.
"What? Oh, yeah I'm fine. Just fine…Er yeah."
"Were you having a dream about Reeeemus?"
"No. Well, not in the ending anyways."
"Huh?"
"Er, nothing really. What time is it?"
"3:30 in the morning."
"Oh."
"Let's get more sleep…"
"No thanks. I think I'll just sit in the common room for a while and read or something."
"If you insist."
