CHAPTER 6

Friday had arrived and on the weekend, the students got to go to Hogsmead village and once again Riley and Draco wanted to meet. But they had worked things out a bit better, so they had more time together.

"Dad I need a favor" Riley said as she arrived early to his class.

"What's up?" Remus asked.

"I need you to put Draco and I on detention, say we didn't finish our assignments" Riley told him.

"Why don't you two just tell people?" Remus asked.

"It is a long and complicated and annoying story, please dad" Riley begged.

"When am I putting you on detention and how long?" Remus asked, finally giving in.

"Make it for tomorrow, but just means we go to Hogsmead a little later then everyone else" Riley told him.

"And does Draco know I'm doing this?" Remus asked.

"Yes he does, we sorted it out" she replied.

"And what exactly will you be doing in detention?" Remus asked.

"Well are you able to leave us alone?" Riley replied "Nothing major will happen, we just want to hang out together" she added, seeing Remus raise his eyebrows at her.

"I suppose I can stay in my office while you two stay here" he said after a moments thought.

"Oh thank you, thank you" Riley said as she ran up and hugged him.

"Your welcome, but in return you have to do something for me" Remus said.

"And what would that be?" Riley asked curiously.

"Eventually explain to me why you guys can't tell people about you guys" Remus said.

"I'll explain what I can, some things are on Dracos side as well" Riley replied, honestly.

"That's all I ask" Remus said and then the class came into the room.

"Where did you get to?" Harry asked as they sat down.

"Had to speak to dad about the school holiday that's all. Year is nearly over" Riley replied.

"Now before I hand the assignments back, Riley and Draco, tomorrow you will be staying back a bit before going to Hogsmead" Remus said, doing a very good at hiding his smile.

"What for?" Riley asked.

"You both handed in incomplete assignments, and you both can finish them tomorrow, no arguments" Remus replied. "As for the rest of you, you all did an excellent job" he went on as he handed back the assignments.

"That's ridiculous" Ron said.

"Did you really hand it in unfinished?" Hermione asked.

"I thought I'd finished it, but obviously not. Don't worry, he wont keep us that long, he isn't that mean" Riley replied.

"Yeah that's true, just come find us when you're done alright. We'll cheer you up from having to spend time with Malfoy" Harry replied.

"Sounds like a plan" Riley replied, then turned back to face the front, hiding her smile. As they finished the class, Pansy was making comments about how it was unfair of Professor Lupin to do that and that she'd make it up to Draco when he was done, which caused Riley to choke on a bit of chocolate Harry had given her.

"It's disgusting watching those two together" Ron said as he watched Pansy link her arm with Dracos and move a bit of his hair out of the way.

"Ah if only he saw us together, it would be so much worse for him" Riley thought to herself.

"What are you smiling at?" Harry asked Riley.

"Nothing at all" Riley said "lets head down for dinner" she added.

Saturday rolled around and she headed to Remus' classroom for her detention.

"Good to see you're on time the both of you" Remus said, keeping an official teacher tone. "I will be in my office, now no funny business" he added then headed to his office.

"How did you convince him to let us do this?" Draco asked as they sat down next to each other.

"I just asked him nicely and told him that we didn't really get any other chances to talk and he was more than happy to help" Riley replied. "He does want me to explain why we can't tell anyone, but I told him I could explain some of it, like our friends etc but nothing more" riley added.

"Ah ok cool" Draco replied. 'Did you actually finish your assignment?" he asked

"Yeah I did, I beat Hermione too" Riley replied "Did you do yours?" she asked

"Yeah I did, it's a good excuse though hey?" Draco replied as he moved closer to her.

"I think this classifies as funny business" Riley said as their lips moved closer. For two 13 year old teenagers, they were pretty skilled in the art of kissing.

"Best detention ever" Draco said as they moved apart.

"So do I have to secretly hex Pansy later?" Riley asked.

"All depends on what she wants to do, she doesn't take no for an answer that girl" Draco replied.

"Well who could resist you; I've had a hard time doing it. I even got detention just for you" Riley said, laughing.

"So what did Potter say when you had the detention?' Draco asked.

"Oh the usual, how could he do this and that they'd cheer me up when I met up with them at Hogsmead" Riley replied as she sat up on the desk, facing Draco.

"If only you were a Slytherin" Draco said

"If only you were a Gryffindor" Riley replied. "Have you ever read the book called Romeo and Juliet?" she asked.

"Nope" Draco replied, absentmindedly moving a bit of stray hair from her face.

"It's a muggle story, Dad read it to me when I was younger" Riley told him "It was what got me interested in books so young anyway, we are like Romeo and Juliet" She went on "Different families, friends that sort of thing. In the end they ended up dieing together" she finished.

"And that's what got you in to books?" Draco asked, raising an eye brow at her.

"Yeah it did, I loved it. The way Shakespeare wrote it, the emotions, the love, it was beautiful" Riley replied.

"Well I would rather die then see anything happen to you" Draco said.

"That's so sweet" Riley said and she sat down on the chair next to him and laced her hands through his "But nothing is going to happen to me and I will find a way for us to be together" she went on. At this point Remus stuck his head out the door to check on them and saw the smile on Riley's face. Remus didn't think it was fair, for two teenagers so young, to have to hide something like this. He really could really see that they were happy together.

Two hours had passed and they figured they should probably go and meet up with their friends before they came to find them.

"Dad" Riley called.

"Yes?" Remus asked as he walked out from his office.

"We think detention should be over, everyone will wonder where we are" Riley said.

"Alright, well thank you for finishing your assignments" Remus said, laughing. "And enjoy the rest of the day" he added.

"Thanks Professor Lupin" Draco said as he let Riley walk out the door first.

"Actually guys, I am heading to the three broomsticks, how bout I go with you guys" Remus said and he followed them out the door.

"Oh look there's pansy, you better go" Riley said, with a hint of sarcasm on her voice.

"Big bird will write to you soon" Draco said and then headed towards Pansy, Crabbe and Goyle.

"Big bird?" Remus asked.

"Don't ask Dad" Riley replied.

"Have you got enough money for the day?" Remus asked.

"Yes Dad, oh I need to go to Honeydukes, I need to update my supply" Riley said "Aright Dad, thank you for today, I really appreciate it" she added.

"Anytime" Remus replied as she headed off to find the others.

"So how was detention?" Harry asked as they finally met up in Honeydukes sweet shop.

"It was fine, we sat and finished our dumb assignments" Riley told them "Oh I need some more chocolate, I've run out" she went on, trying to change the subject.

"It's our last week of school you know that?" Ron asked.

"I know, I'm so glad" Harry replied "Do you think Remus would let me come stay again?" Harry asked.

"Yeah definitely, something about you will have to go back to your aunt and uncles first, but I'm sure you could come and stay again" Riley replied.

"Awesome, it's heaps of fun staying with you guys" Harry said.

"Where do you go when you know?" Hermione asked.

"We either stay at Ron's or we go to Dumbledore's" Riley replied.

"That would be awesome staying at Dumbledore's, you'd learn heaps from him" Hermione said.

"He has an excellent sense of humor too; remember when he kept transforming those bits of furniture to dance with each other?" Riley said, "That was awesome" she added, then Riley and Harry cracked up laughing. The day passed away and they all headed back to the castle, assignments needed doing and apparently, according to Fred and George, pranks needed to be pulled.
