Author's Note: Thanks for the reviews! Sorry I took forever. I would like more but I can't complain. This chapter jumps a few years. It starts out when Rachel's in her second and the chapter ends in her thrid year.
ckontowderdon32: Thanks for reviewing. Read "Curse of the Wolf" for more info. and I don't know I just like the goddesses names.
KRP: Thanks. That's not how Athena died. Diana and Aphrodite lied to Rachel.
Drummer Chick13: Thanks for reviewing. I already told you what I want to say via IM. You're awesome (all of you reviewers are too...)
Happy New Year and happy (late) Xmas and Hanukkah and Holiday Enjoy!
Life became better and better for me as the years went on. I spent all the holidays at my mum's house and sometimes my friends would come along too. My mother tried to spoil me when I came. We went shopping and did all the girl things she couldn't do with Remus. It was lovely. There was no other word to descibe it.
My crush for Mark faded at the end of my first year at Hogwarts. Why? I thought at first but then another crush came along. Love is a crazy thing. It hits you in the head and you aren't even prepared for it to happen. In the middle of my second year I thought Sirius Black was the hottest guy ever to walk into Hogwarts. But didn't most girls think that? Yeah they did. Even in his fourth year some older girls (but mostly younger) wanted him. Sirius was so clever, mischievous, hot and attractive, but the chances of me and him were slim at the time.
"Remus," I walked up to my brother one day in my second year in the common room. He was doing DADA homework. "Does Sirius have a girlfriend?" I asked. What did I have to lose?
"You like him." Remus stated like a fact. "It's obvious." He was using my technique to irritate me. He still does that to this day.
"Remus!" I said annoyed. "Does he or does he not have a girlfriend?"
"Yeah he does. He has had about five this year and three last year," he replied (I'm still not sure if Sirius really did have five girlfriends that year...), sounding annoyed and quickly writing down something on a piece of parchment. "And besides, I wouldn't want my younger sister to hook up with one of my best friends. You're too young right now," Not that ever stopped me but he did have a point.
"Why wouldn't you want that mother?" I teased "If we get married you guys will be related," I pointed out, but it was hopeless.
In my third year a fifth year Ravenclaw named Aaron Walker and I went out for a date at Hogsmeade. That's what started it all. He was very good looking. He had unusual dirty blonde hair, which was curly and even more out of control than James' hair. His hazel orbs were beautiful.
For half of the school year we were a couple. I was the one who dumped him.
"We need to talk Aaron," I said outside the Great Hall.
"What is it?" he asked in concern and kissed me.
"I think we should see other people," I suggested.
"What are you talking about?" he said in shock and had some anger in his tone.
"Well, I don't want to rush things and you want something that I'm not ready for. Look Aaron, you're a great guy and all but it's not working," I explained. Aaron was just glared at me. He grabbed my wrist, trying to drag my thin body to an empty classroom. I kicked him and he didn't back down.
"Walker!" a voice shouted. "What the hell are you doing to her?" It was Sirius. I still liked Sirius deep down. I always will.
"Let go of my sister," Remus was right next to Sirius, along with James.
"I don't want anything to do with you anymore," I said forcefully to Aaron and broke away from him.
"Don't touch her." Remus growled. He still is an over protective brother.
"Or we'll hex you to another dimension," said Sirius, seriously.
Aaron gave them dirty looks and left. "One day I will make you mine Rachel. I will have you. And you'll eventually have to give in," he threatened. "And your brother's friends won't be there to get you out of it," he muttered and left.
"Thanks," was the only thing I could say to the Marauders. I sighed in relief.
"He's a git," James said. "Never liked him,"
"Did he want you to have sex with him?"Remus asked, disgusted.
"Yeah."
"Bastard,"
"They'll be a surprise package tomorrow for him," smirked James. The next day Aaron thought he got chocolate frogs but when he ate them he swelled up and zits attacked his face. It was some sight to see. Very amusing.
"He won't be in your way anymore," Sirius said boldly to me. "No one messes with Moony's sister!"
I blushed a bright red. "Aww…um I'll see you guys later."
I was running toward the common room when again I bumped into who other than Severus Snape.
"Watch where you're going Lupin," he spat.
"Watch where you're going Sev," I said. Whenever I called him (since second year) Sev he would be pissed off at me. He was even more angry at that name than what my brother's friends would call him.
"Don't call me that," he muttered.
"What Sev? I didn't hear you." I laughed. I wasn't afraid of him.
"Just go away. You're so annoying," he muttered.
"Fine. Bye Sev," I giggled. Bothering him to this day is always fun.
When I got to my room no one was there. Jessica must of been with Mark and Suzanne and I was too tired to find them. The other two girls who shared a room with Jessica and I were Jasmine and Beth who we really never talked to. They were out and about doing whatever.
I bounced onto the bed and stared at ceiling for a long time. The thought of Aaron's threat was making me nervous. Why was he acting like this? I thought to myself. He use to be so kind and sweet.
I sighed and tried to fall asleep but all the images going through my head were Aaron, Snape's face and howling wolves.
