Chapter 20(WaHoo!) - Just Tell Me
"What's going on with you and Lily," Sirius asked. They were at breakfast and the girls hadn't arrived yet.
"Nothing, why?" James asked.
"You're not acting all...what's the word?" Sirius said.
"Cozy with her?" Remus said.
"Yea," Sirius agreed.
"Flirty?" Remus continued.
"Exactly!" Sirius said. Remus went to speak again but James cut him off.
"Okay Remus, I get the point," James yelled.
"Well then, explain!" Sirius said.
"I, boys," James started and then stood up from the table "Have moved on." He walked out of the great hall.
"That was funny," Sirius said. Remus raised an eyebrow at him.
"What? You think he's really over her!" Sirius asked.
"Heh, your right."
"Okay class for the next week were going to study creatures of the moon. Open your text book 'Seasons of Creatures' to page 123." The professor said. "Were starting with Werewolves."
James, Sirius, and Peter saw Remus gulp as they all looked up at him. The professor went over how people become werewolves, how they change, when they change, and they were now talking about why people feared them. Remus was sitting there a ghostly pale color.
"Many were killed violently and werewolves today are still feared and outcasted from society..." The professor started.
"But that's so cruel, it's not their fault if they got bitten," Suffie said. The professor ignored her and continued on. Remus was staring at Suffie 'Is she joking with me?' he thought. James and Sirius were giving him sympathetic looks. Suffie felt him staring at her and looked up at him.
"Remy, are you okay? You look horrible," Suffie said worriedly.
"I'm fine, don't worry about me. Can I ask you something?" Remus said. Suffie nodded to him.
"How come you said that about werewolves," He asked.
"Because that's how I feel of course. Don't you? I mean all that cruelty they get...its horrible," Suffie said.
"You mean you're not afraid of werewolves?" Remus said.
"N..no, there's no reason to be, at least not when there in there human form," She answered. Remus wrapped an arm around her waist and tried to not pay attention to the class.
James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter were walking together to their next class. Remus had told them what Suffie had said.
"Guys, I'm going to tell her. After what she said, I'm sure she'll understand!"
"Moony, my buddy, maybe you shouldn't. I mean if you just come out and say it it's going to be a real shocker for her, at least find a good time to tell her," Sirius reasoned.
"But still I can't keep a secret from her. She keeps getting mad at me when I leave to transform because I tell her every time my mother is sick and she's staring to think I'm lying to her, which I am!" Remus said.
"Still you two haven't been together for a very long time maybe you should wait," James said. Remus shook his head no.
"I'm going to tell her tonight I have to," He said.
"Fine, we support you one-hundred percent," Sirius said and smiled.
Natilda, James, Sirius, and Peter were sitting in the common room plotting their next prank and Suffie, Lily, Lindsey, and Jenni were on the couch talking when Remus walked in.
"Suffie can we talk? Up in my room?" Remus asked. Suffie nodded and followed him up to the boy's dorm. Remus looked back to see James and Sirius looking at him. He shrugged and kept walking. They got to his dorm and luckily no one was there. Remus had already put a silencing charm on the room and used his wand to lock the door behind them.
"What do you want to talk about Remus?" She asked.
"Not right now," He said and kissed her quickly. She smiled and then kissed him. He bit her bottom lip lightly until she opened her mouth and their tongues clashed. They both fell back onto his bed. They snogged there for a while. He nibbled her ear lightly and was kissing her neck. Remus broke off the kiss and moved off of her and sat on the edge of the bed.
"I have something to tell you," He mumbled. She fixed herself a bit and sat up.
"What's wrong?" She asked. He sighed and played with a piece of her hair.
"Its about where I really go when I tell you my mother is sick," He said.
"You lied?" She asked pulling away a bit.
"Don't act so surprised, I know you already knew I was lying," He smirked, she just smiled lightly but it faded.
"I've been at the shrieking shack at Hogsmede," He explained.
"What, why? Isn't it haunted?" She asked.
"No, it's not haunted. I go there because, well because..." He started stumbling.
"Just tell me, whatever it is it will be fine," She said. He gave a heavy sigh.
"When I was a kid, I got bitten by a werewolf. I am a werewolf, I go there to transform," He said in a whisper. She sat up straighter and looked at him.
"B...but..." She started. She stumbled on her words unable to think of what to say. She flung her arms around him and he landed on his back and she buried her face in his shoulder. He rested his chin on her head. She couldn't bear it any longer, she ran out of the room and back to her own dormitory. She locked her self in and slid down against the door.
Everyone in the common room watched Suffie run to the girl's dormitory. Lily looked toward Sirius and James who were sitting together away from everyone concerned looking. She walked up to them.
"James, Sirius I know you know what is happening now spill," Lily said. "He didn't break up with her did he?"
James shook his head as him and Sirius got up to go upstairs. Lily grabbed James wrist.
"James...tell me, you have to," She said softly. He just shook his head again and they walked upstairs. Before they went out of view, James gave her a look and jerked his head ad if telling her to follow. Lily looked around. Natilda was no where to be found and Lindsey and Jenni were busy talking about something and giggling. They hadn't seen what was going on. Lily stood up and walked towards the boy's dormitory. She watched them go in and shut the door, but before it closed completely a foot, that she recognized as James stopped it. 'So he wants me to eavesdrop?' She thought. She listened through the crack in the door.
"You told Suffie?" She heard James say.
"Yea," Remus said quietly.
"What did she say?" Sirius asked.
"Well we were snogging and I stopped and I told her. She hugged me but then ran out of the room," Remus explained.
"Kind of an inappropriate time don't you think?" James said.
"Yeah, its like you making out and then all of a sudden your like 'I'm a werewolf', I mean what did you expect her to do?" Sirius said. Lily's eyes went wide and she fell against the door and into the room. She hurried to her feet.
"L...Lily?" Remus yelled.
"Gods, I'm sorry, oh gods I shouldn't have, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop, I didn't think you guys were going to say something that personal. I swear I won't tell anyone!" Lily stumbled. Remus ran his hands through his hair, he was looking horrible.
"I'm going to bed," He mumbled and went to take a shower first.
"What! That's the second time I've let someone know by accident, I must be jinxed or something," Sirius muttered.
Suffie tossed and turned but couldn't get to sleep. She felt horrible. She needed to go talk to Remus. Everyone in her dorm was asleep. She got up and walked to the boy's dorms. She pulled back the curtains to a bed and saw Sirius asleep 'opps, wrong bed' She thought. She turned around 'crap, which bed, I forgot.'
"Third from the left" She heard Sirius whisper and then yawn.
"Thank you," She whispered back and shut the curtains around his bed. She counted out three from the left and opened the curtains to see Remus. She climbed in his bed, shutting the curtains behind her. She got under the covers.
"Remy," She said shaking Remus a bit. He mumbled something incoherent. "Remy," She said a bit louder. He opened his eyes.
"Suffie? What are you doing here?"
"I...I'm sorry I just left like that before. I don't care if you're a werewolf. Really I don't," Suffie said snuggling closer to him. She rested her head on his chest and he wrapped an arm around her waist.
"Night," He whispered.
"Night...wait," Suffie said.
"Huh?"
"Moony...moony your nickname" She said.
"W...what about it," He stumbled.
"They call you Moony because you're a werewolf, they call the others Prongs, Padfoot, and..." She started.
"Wormtail," He finished for her.
"Yeah, how come?" She asked.
"We should go to sleep, just drop it, okay?"
"Please tell me, I'll figure it out anyway."
"Well then you'll have to figure it out on your own," He said.
"How come you have to keep it such a secret?"
"Because that's what it is, a secret!"
"Bigger than you being a..."
"Maybe," He shouted back. The received several yells to shut up. Suffie turned away from him and Remus sighed.
"Fine don't talk to me, I'm going to sleep. Either you sleep in here or leave," He said and closed his eyes.
"You're being a stupid git!" She yelled at him but he ignored her.
"Oi, Remus," James yelled.
"What?" Remus snapped.
"I am tired," James continued.
"And?" Remus said.
"And trying to sleep," James said.
"Then sleep!" He yelled.
"That's the thing Remus. It's very hard to do with you two bickering!" He said grumpily and obviously very tired. " Either tell her what the names mean or I will personally drag BOTH of you out of this dorm!"
"Fine but I'm warning you, your tired and delirious. So if you really didn't want her to know, but I tell her, don't go getting..." Remus started.
"SHUT UP AND TELL HER!" James, Sirius, and Peter all yelled together. Suffie raised an eyebrow and smirked.
"I win, now just tell me!" She said.
"They're animagi. James is a Stag, Sirius a dog, and Peter a rat. They help me when I transform..." Remus explained.
"Awesome," Suffie said with her eyes closed like she was asleep.
"Hey," He laughed "Not funny." She opened one eye and stuck her tongue out.
"Good night," She said and then really fell asleep.
"Night," he said taking in the scent of her strawberry shampoo before falling asleep.
James sat up and yawned, he was a little early so no one else was awake yet. He got dressed into a black button down, long sleeved shirt and loose jeans and walked downstairs. It was Saturday, he walked over to the common room window and watched snow fall to the ground. A large grin formed on his face as he watched it fall, there was already a few inches on the ground. He heard footsteps behind him and he turned around. It was Lily, she had on a long green knitted, turtle neck sweater and a khaki skirt that stopped a few inches above her knees.
"It snowed out," He said.
"Yea...do you want to get some breakfast with me?" Lily asked.
"No thanks, I'm not really hungry," He said.
"Go to the library?" She asked.
"Na, I kind of want to stay here," James answered.
"Wizards chess?" She asked.
"No thanks," He said shoving his hands in his pockets and watching the snowfall.
"Okay...bye," Lily said softly, she grabbed her cloak and walked out. She wiped a tear that had rolled down her cheek and walked down the corridors aimlessly. She finally turned outside and put on her cloak. She wrapped her Gryffindor colored scarf around her neck and put on her gloves that had been in her pockets. She sat down on a bench and watched the snowflakes fall and land on her, then disappearing as they melted.
"You don't seem to be having much fun," Sirius said sitting down next to her.
"How'd you know I was out here?" Lily asked.
"I woke up and then caught James watching you from the window," He explained. Lily turned to look at the window, no one was there.
"He left though," Sirius continued.
"He doesn't like me anymore, does he?" Lily said kicking some snow on the ground.
"He doesn't know what he likes anymore. You did toy with him quite a bit Lily-kinns," Sirius said.
"I didn't toy with him!" Lily yelled. Sirius held his hands up in defeat.
"Well, I didn't. I just didn't know what I wanted," She said.
"Hmmm...So before he liked you but you didn't really like him and now you like him but he doesn't really like you. Wow you to aren't even together yet and your having relationship problems," Sirius teased.
"Thanks for the help," Lily said sarcastically.
"No problem," He said. Lily sighed.
"Don't worry about it, all you have to do is get him back. It'll be easy for you, really," He said.
"Thanks Sirius," Lily said.
"Really, no problem. Let's get some grub! Lindsey, Suffie, and Remus should be up any time now," He said and they stood up and started walking back.
"There's something going on with you and Lindsey isn't there," Lily said with a smile.
"Save that thought for our next talk, okay?" He laughed.
(Later; like after lunch)
Lily, Suffie, and Lindsey were walking around in the snow watching everyone running around on the grounds. There were some first years making snow angels and building snow forts and some older kids engaged in a large snowball fight. People were also ice-skating around on the lake.
".So I told him to bugger off," Suffie said.
"What a prat!" Lindsey said. Lily stayed silent as she walked, looking down at the snow.
"She's not even listening to me is she," Suffie laughed.
"Nope, I know who she's probably thinking of though," Lindsey said.
"James," Suffie and Lindsey said in unison.
"Huh?" Lily said raising her head. Lindsey and Suffie both laughed.
"Oh Jamsie!" Suffie said in mock voice as she pretended to swoon.
"I so do not act like that!" Lily laughed and grabbed some snow as started to throw it at Suffie. Suffie laughed and ran off Lily close behind her. Lindsey stopped and watched them run off. She kicked some snow with her boot but them stopped when she felt something hit the back of her head. It was a snowball and it dripped down the back of her neck. She turned around only to get smacked in the face by another. She yelped and wiped it quickly off. Sirius was standing there with a lopsided grin, another snowball in hand.
"Sirius Black! Don't you dare!" Lindsey said her fists clenched.
"Or what?" He smirked and threw the snowball a little bit up in the air and caught it. Lindsey pulled out her wand, flicked it, and muttered a spell. A big pile of snow flew up from behind Sirius and floated over his head. He looked up and ducked a bit as the pile of snow fell on him. Lindsey laughed as his head popped up from the top.
"Come on, I can't move get me out of here!" Sirius said struggling. Lindsey doubled over laughing, until she heard someone call her and looked up. James and Remus were coming over.
"Oh, hey you two!" Lindsey said.
"Hey, have you seen Sirius?" Remus asked.
"Right here, you git!" Sirius said. James and Remus blinked a bit and started looking around them, but saw nothing.
"Where is the stupid prat?" James said to Lindsey, he swirled around a bit hitting Sirius in the head with his cloak each time he did. Sirius twitched with anger and then bit James's leg through his pants, which was next to his head. James yelped and grabbed his leg.
"Oi, what are you doing there Sirius?" Remus asked.
"Will someone just get me out!" He yelled.
"Well if you continue acting like that, no", James said and him and Remus walked away laughing.
"Lindsey?" Sirius pouted. Lindsey laughed and with another spell, flicked her wand and the snow flew off of him. He laughed and tackled her to the ground. He leaned down to kiss her quickly. She put a hand on his cheek.
"Your freezing!" She said.
"Just a little," He laughed "Care to join me in a cup of hot cocoa by the fire?" He asked holding out his arm.
"I'd be delighted," Lindsey said and took his arm as they started to walk toward the castle.
I hope this is any good, I really tried hard to get this out ASAP cause I know I've been taking so long on updates, and then my computer died, and yea...please review!
