Summer to September
By: Twitch
((A/N: I apologize for last chapter. I had quite a few complaints that people chose to email me instead of posting. But, as I said, this one will be up in just a moment and all will be good and yadda, yadda, yadda. Also, I promise that this one will be longer…))
Disclaimer: Still don't own it. Never, ever will. Sorreh. You'll just have to deal with it. Tee hee. You know, even if I don't own the PotterVerse, I still own my pet bird.
((A/N: Note to my friend, Queen of Literature:
GRR! I asked you not to call me Chelsea! Call me by my name! Oh, and by the way for those of you who are looking confused while you read this, my name is Kez…I refused to tell you that last chapter, but now I feel obligated. Damn.-glares at j00-
Sorry my devoted (ha ha) fans. My friend, she calls me Chelsea just to annoy the hell out of me. It's just a stupid nickname that evolved from our various fanfictions. Maybe I should start calling her Jayde...Just to get her back. Only…She called herself Jayde. Grr…You know what Rae? I'll get you one of these days. I'll get you.
Hmm...I don't know.))
Chapter Five: Not good…Definitely NOT GOOD
As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up,
When September ends…
"What? Could you please repeat that?" I asked. I couldn't have heard her right. If what she was saying was true then…
"He knows Remus' secret." She repeated in a dull monotone.
"Oh shit…"
"You're telling me."
"So Orion blackmailed you, by threatening to tell Remus' secret, right?"
"Basically."
"Wonderful…" I let my face fall into my palm. ((A/N: Ha ha…facepalm…-facepalms- Tee hee! That was FUN!)) This was not good. Out of all the people who could have found out, it was then one with something against us. Well, more specifically, me. Then, being the (as Chelsea might say) annoyingly perky person that I am, I attempted a smile. "What?" She asked, irritation beginning to show in her voice. "He could tell!" I warbled. She blinked. "He could tell what?"
"That you like Remus."
"Shut up…It doesn't explain his motive."
"Sure it does! He wanted to bed you, so he found some dirt on the person you like." She made a face.
"He did not want to bed me." She protested.
"Sure he did."
"Nuh-uh"
"What is with you and your assumption that no one will touch you with a ten-foot pole?"
"Maybe five-foot…" Chelsea mused. She was trying to get back into her old spirit, but she was failing miserably.
"Chelsea…Attempt noted. Now, lets go find the Marauders…They deserve to know."
"Yeah…" She straightened out her clothing and tried to fix her hair. "Do I look presentable?"
"Nope!"
"Bitch."
"Ass."
"Slut."
"Prep."
"Freak."
"Four-eyes…"
"Shut up. Let's go…"
Eh, there's Chelsea. Can't live with her, can't live without her…Oh well…You gotta love her right?
"Come ON!" Her comment jolted me from my thoughts.
"I'm coming…I'm coming…"
"So…how'd he find out?" Remus asked me in a shaky voice. He would have asked Chelsea, but the moment she had seen him she had paled, turned the other direction, and bolted. However, I knew enough to answer most questions…This one though, I wasn't sure about.
"Uhm…I really don't know Rem, sorry. You'll have to ask Chelsea." I groaned inwardly. She was going to hate me. Ah well, this was payback for her getting laid before me. Which, by the way, is really, really, REALLY annoying. I scolded myself, I shouldn't be thinking like that, not when Chelsea had just been practically...
raped…Wow, maybe I was going crazy. I heard the voices of several of my friends in my head:
"Jayde…you are NOT going crazy…"
Great. So now my friends were hanging out in my brain too! Anyhow. ((A/N: You can choose to ignore this last little part, it was a schizophrenic moment…)) I sighed as Remus nodded, his face ghastly white. He ran off to find Chelsea. I shivered. Wow, she was going to kill me…violently. Again. I blinked slightly and went off to find the rest of the Marauders.
As I was walking towards the Great Hall, I ran into Orion, very literally. Seriously, I wasn't paying attention and I ran straight into him and he dropped all of his books and flipped me off. What an ass. Oh well. I promptly left him to pick up his own books. Normally I would have helped him. But well…A)He was my ex. And B)He'd just virtually raped my best friend. Bastard…
I flipped him the bird as I walked away and he glared evilly, returning the gesture with a fake-ly honeyed smile. Glaring, I stomped the rest of the way up to the tower. When I stepped through, James glanced up at me. "Pissed?"
"Oh, you have no idea. Anyhow, we have a problem." It was Sirius' turn to look up. "And that would be?" Peter glanced up from his losing game of solitaire. (Chelsea had taught him how to play the Muggle game…) "Is it that thing you pulled Remus really, really far away to talk to him about?" I grinned sheepishly. Yeah…It probably hadn't been necessary to drag Remus to the Second Floor to tell him. Oh well. I nodded.
"Yup, that's the 'thing'" I said, using air-quotes, and soon after feeling like an idiot. "Well…" James persisted.
And so, I told them the whole story. How I'd found Chelsea sobbing on the floor, etcetera, etcetera.
By the time I was finished with my story, I was crying and Sirius' arm was wrapped around my shaking shoulders. I found myself burying my head into his chest. Which was weird. James was holding my hand, albeit lightly. Even Peter had reached out a tentative hand of sympathy, though he never actually touched me, though honestly, I never really expected him to. He wasn't a very high-contact guy.
"What was Remus' reaction?" Sirius asked, his voice jolting through my consciousness. I wiped my nose on his shirt, but he didn't seem to mind too much. I didn't even know why I was crying…Chelsea was the one who had gotten hurt. I don't know, maybe I'm just extra-sympathetic, even if Chelsea doesn't think I am. I looked up at them, regaining my composure. "I don't know. He looked really shocked. He ran off to ask Chelsea how Orion found out…Because I didn't- don't know."
I sighed and leaned my head into Sirius' chest again. What great friends I had. James and Peter, unbeknownst to me, got up and tiptoed out. Also unknown to me, Sirius glared at them, but didn't want to disturb me. That's where I fell asleep. I woke up the next morning.
"Hey Sirius." I double-took. "HOLY SHIT! SIRIUS!"
((A/N: Sorry, I didn't mean for it to take so long to write. And I'm sorry it's so spazztic. Grmph. I'm just really bored and am going through a bit of writer's block right now.))
