Fighting For Desired Love

CHAPTER VII:

REMUS

I led Nymphie into an exit that the marauders and I used from the map. She had asked why we were going through here and I told her it was just the way I was used to leaving Hogwarts - lie. The truth - I was embarrassed.

As beautiful, and wonderful as Nymphie was she was a third year. I didn't exactly want to be seen, it may damage my reputation, though I didn't have much of a rep anyway.

TONKS

It was too weird. As much as I liked Remus, he was just…odd. He seemed painfully different as if he was more than I was getting. He seemed to me like he had lived for hundreds of years. He did things old-fashion. I wouldn't have been surprised if he had worn a tie and suit to our little date.

Though most girls my age would die to date a seventh year, to me it didn't feel that way. I wasn't thrilled to go on a date with a seventh year. I was thrilled to go on a date with Remus.

I kept staring up at him and he was always looking at our interlocked hands. He was beginning to sweat a bit and kept turning over our hands; I couldn't read his expression. It seemed like he was either, looking for something, or confused on what to do with our hands.

He noticed my staring at our hands, and my staring at him and he smiled.

"Sorry. I-I'm just…new at this," he said and tried to relax by stopping his fidgeting.

I giggled. "I sort of am too. I thought as a seventh year, you would have had a girlfriend before. You have, haven't you?"

REMUS

Her question caught me off guard. I had a strong desire to tell her about what I really was, a werewolf. How could I ever do that though? There was something about her sweetness, that made me feel like we had been friends all our lives, just finding our fates now. It made me feel that I could do anything or tell her anything and she wouldn't mind. She was so fragile though, so inexperienced, in the same way that I was.

I must have not spoken for a long while. She must have noticed my expression, because she spoke again. "I-I guess I shouldn't have asked that. It's none of my business."

"It's alright. And just so you don't get jealous," I was saying. She giggled as I said 'jealous'. "No. I've never had a girlfriend before. If I would consider you my girlfriend, you'd be the first."

TONKS

Hmmm…his girlfriend? Was I supposed to respond to what he said? I thought, confused more than my own comprehension. Remus and me? The thought swirled in my head, it was coming up with possibilities I hadn't considered before.

I looked at him. He seemed to be waiting for something. If we kept talking like this where neither of us could answer what the other said, we'd never make it to Hogsmeade.

He must have realized the my uncomfortable feelings in the thought he had expressed. "Oh gosh. I didn't mean for you to choose. I mean…just maybe…I'm not sure. I just m-meant like if w-we really l-like each other…J-just forget it." He had an expression on his face now, that obviously read, 'I never should have said anything'.

"Er-let's go. We'll never make it to Hogsmeade at this rate."

"You're right," he said. Then out of the blue he began to run. Faster than I had ever seen anyone run. I wondered if he could go that fast in the water. He'd be like the next Michael Phelps.

He stopped and stared at me smiling. "Well, come on! We won't be able to get good seats."

I laughed and ran to his side, then running to the Madam Puddifoots. We got there and Remus asked for a booth hidden and out of the way. We sat down and I ordered my usual salad and soup. Remus ordered large turkey leg, which was cranberry sauce-affied. It looked fit for a thanksgiving dinner platter.

REMUS

Nymphie and I talked about school and just about everything, on our perfect, first date. We left the Madam Puddifoots in about an hour and a half, after I had finished my large turkey leg. I should've known better than to have ordered that. I was with Nymphie, not the guys.

We left by at about 7:45ish. The night was already showing, in this glorious night. We just walked outside, and I noticed how beautiful the night sky looked right now.

The beautiful moonlight, of the full moon. The stars shining brightly, twinkling just like Nymphie's. Wait. Full moon? No way. This couldn't be.

I felt the monster inside of me starting to erupt to crawl over my skin. Crap! That stupid reassuring liar. Sirius, I'm so going to kill him, I thought.

"Crap!" My werewolf was really starting to engulf my wizard self. Nymphie stood nearby, from what I could tell, scared out of her mind.

TONKS

Remus and I walked outside and he started screaming and having some crazed look in his eyes. I had an urge to run, but then another, greater urge, to not stay and do something. The only person I can think of to contact was Sirius. He was my cousin, but he was also one of Remus's closest friends, I knew that for sure.

I ran as quickly as possible, with a tang of regret, feeling that I should be with Remus and calm him as he…transformed into…a…werewolf. I had to find Sirius. First place I'd look: Gryffindor Common Room.
