Chapter 2 - You Had Me From Hello
Hermione woke up with a citrus and woody scent that overpowered her senses. She knew that she was near somebody, although she didn't remember whom. However, as soon as Hermione opened one eye, she found Remus Lupin's face in front of her. The close proximity nearly made her fall off the couch.
"Oh Merlin, how do I get out of this mess?" Hermione furiously thought while shutting her eyes as if doing so would immediately erase the current situation.
The witch hesitantly re-opened her eyes and looked at Remus' face carefully. She felt like she was invading his privacy by gazing at him, but she couldn't help herself.
Hermione impulsively raised her hand and hesitantly caressed his sandy-colored locks. She pushed back stray piece of hair that fell over his forehead. It was indeed strange to see her former professor in such close proximity and although Hermione knew it was absolutely wrong, she couldn't help but not move away.
She brushed his hair once more, but this time, Remus awakened.
"Good morning," Remus yawned and then lazily opened his eyes to find a pair of wide, chocolate brown eyes looking straight at him.
He quickly looked down at their current position on the couch, and whispered, "Oh bugger."
Remus tried to get up quickly as possible, but the blanket that covered them up made him trip and fall flat on his face.
"Errgh..." he groaned.
He refused to look at the witch because he felt that he had embarrassed himself beyond anything imaginable.
Trying hard not to laugh, Hermione asked, "Are you okay?"
"Yea, I'm-"
Remus was cut off by an incredibly loud booming voice that belonged to none other than Sirius Black.
"GOOD MORNING ALL!" Sirius Black bounded down the stairs with James and Peter following after him.
"Moony, where were you last...night..." Sirius' words slowly died once his eyes fell on Remus' position on the floor and Hermione on the couch with a blanket over her.
Sirius narrowed his eyes, sat down roughly in front of Hermione and crossed his arms fiercely.
"Need a hand?" James grinned while offering a hand to his friend.
"Yeah, I could definitely use that," Remus grasped his friend's hand and got up.
Remus cautiously sat down next to Hermione and looked down at the floor.
"So what happened," Sirius asked accusingly towards his Remus.
Startled at Sirius' tone, Remus looked up and explained, "I woke up from all the snores coming from your side of the room so when I heard something in the common room, I went downstairs to find out what it was. And there Hermione was, on the couch. We just talked for a bit and fell asleep."
However, as Remus was trying to clarify what had happened, Sirius couldn't listen to one word. For some strange reason, a weird feeling encompassed his senses. If Sirius didn't know any better, he would have mistaken it for jealousy.
With wide eyes, Sirius looked off the side and clenched the upholstery of the couch in both hands, "Surely I'm not... jealous. No... that's absolutely ridiculous."
Before Sirius could fully panic, a red haired witch interrupted his thoughts.
"What's going on?" Lily sleepily asked while slowly walking down the stairs from the girls' dormitory.
"Lily!" Hermione was instantaneously relieved. "I've been meaning to ask you something for quite sometime."
With that, she grabbed Lily's hand and dragged her back upstairs to the girls' dormitory.
"Did you sleep next to her?" Peter asked.
Remus blushed, "I –er. Well you see, she fell asleep in a position where if I moved she'd wake up. The only thing I could do was to lie down next to her."
"Oh Moony, you beast," James laughed.
"There was nothing improper going on if that was what you were implying," Remus huffed.
"Moony, in your perspective, you sitting next to a girl should be censored," James teased. "So what you did last night was practically explicit material!"
"Shut up," was all Remus could muster up.
"And you definitely have a thing for her then," Sirius asked.
"I... wouldn't say that," Remus hesitantly answered.
"So, if someone else took interest in her, you wouldn't care?" Sirius' grey eyes seemed to challenge his friend's.
"No, I probably would," Remus confidently answered. "But then again, I'm up for a challenge."
James immediately noticed the sudden tension between his two friends, so he started to converse about something else with Remus. While Remus was busily engaged in another conversation, Sirius suddenly grew tense when he realized what had just happened.
"What am I doing?" he asked himself.
Meanwhile, up in the girls' dormitory, Lily immediately interrogated her friend.
"So where were you last night? I noticed you weren't in bed this morning," she said.
"I just couldn't fall asleep last night. Time travel you know...kind of wore me out," Hermione cheekily replied while noticing that as Dumbledore had promised, there were books, money, and school supplies on her untouched bed.
"Oh, then what was Sirius all being grouchy about?" Lily asked.
"What do you mean?"
"Hermione, I wasn't aware that you were blind."
Hermione scowled, "Okay so he looked a little ticked off, but it's the morning. I'm sure that's a normal occurrence for him."
"Unfortunately," Lily crossed her arms, "that is never the case. He's always in a good mood in the morning. Something obviously upset him."
"And you think I'm the cause for his discomfort?"
"Could be a possibility."
"Well thanks Lily," Hermione scoffed.
Lily shrugged, "Well Sirius is well known to exhibit petulant behavior when something he likes is taken from him."
"What is that supposed to mean?" Hermione narrowed her eyes.
"Just a theory I'm throwing out. You must have done something to make him jealous or whatever," Lily then paused and asked, "Did you do something to make him jealous?"
Hermione quickly replied, "I don't think so?"
Lily looked at her friend curiously, "You sure?"
"Well, I mean, Remus was with me at night," Hermione said offhandedly.
"What?!" Lily exclaimed, causing for the rest of the girls in the dormitory to groggily yell at the witch.
"Don't listen to them," Lily yelled over the grumpy teenage girls. "Please elaborate more on what happened last night and don't skip out on any details?"
Hermione rolled her eyes, "It was nothing. Remus just came down a few minutes after I did. He said that the guys were snoring incredibly loud so he couldn't sleep. We talked for a few minutes and I fell asleep. I didn't know he stayed with me until this morning."
"Hm," Lily brought a finger to her lips to think, "so did Sirius barge in on you two who were, I'm assuming, embracing each other?"
The other witch's face quickly flushed red, "Lily Evans, we did nothing of that sort!"
"But how else did you two both sleep on the couch without touching each other?" Lily laughed.
Hermione couldn't seem to find the right words to refute Lily's point.
Lily continued laughing but suddenly stopped and said, "Oh no."
"What now," Hermione sighed.
"Oh no," she repeated.
"Lily, really," the other witch began tapping her foot impatiently.
"That stupid git," Lily said to herself.
"Excuse me?"
"I'm not talking about your beloved Remus, so don't worry," Lily quickly said.
"Lily, I-"
The witch interrupted Hermione and whispered, "I think Sirius might fancy you."
This time, it was Hermione's turn to yell, "You're bloody mad!"
Following Hermione's sudden outburst, the partially woken girls voiced their complaints.
"It's only eight in the morning, shut it will you?" Julia hissed.
Lily and Hermione rolled their eyes and continued on with their conversation but in a more subdued fashion.
"What do you mean by that?" Hermione queried. "That's impossible."
"No," Lily defiantly shook her head in disagreement, "this is highly plausible. He's known to be easily attracted to girls."
"Aren't all guys that way?" Hermione joked.
Lily sighed, "Hermione, if he sees someone he deems as attractive, he will go at all odds to take her out on one date."
Hermione laughed, "Just one?"
"Well, from the years that I've known him, I've only seen him in one actually serious relationship with a girl," Lily informed her friend. "I believe it was last year before some of us went home for the winter holidays. Lasted for about a month."
"What happened?"
"From what I heard from James, apparently there were major differences between them."
"Oh..."
"Why, are you changing your mind about Remus already," Lily teased. "Personally, I'd go with Remus."
"Lily," Hermione sighed, "there is nothing going on between me and Remus nor Sirius."
"You might not think so, but they might."
"Whatever you say," Hermione gave up.
Soon afterward, the two quickly got dressed into their school uniforms and headed to the Great Hall.
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
As the two were walking into the Great Hall, Lucius Malfoy strutted up to greet them.
"I believe I haven't met you yet," Lucius pointed out in the same voice that the Marauders hexed him the night before.
"You met her now, so go away like a good snake," Lily tried to lead Hermione away from the Slytherin.
"Not so fast, Mudblood," Malfoy hissed.
Running over to Hermione from the Gryffindor table, Sirius Black cut in before Lily or Hermione could do anything.
"Malfoy, you heard the ladies, keep on walking."
Lucius' eyes narrowed dangerously, "Black, you'll pay for this."
"Yea right. Just hurry along and play potions master with Snivellus," Sirius retorted while grabbing Hermione's hand and leading her and Lily away from the blonde.
"Sirius, I was handling it," Lily explained while sitting next to James, who gave her a peck on the cheek.
"But nothing beats a good old banter with Lucius Malfoy in the morning," Sirius grinned.
"Banter any more, and you two will seem like an old married couple," Hermione teased and sat next to Remus.
Sirius immediately sat down next to Hermione and started to pile food onto his plate.
Remus looked to his right and hesitantly smiled, "Hi Hermione."
"Oh, hey Pr...emus?" Hermione quickly tried to fix her mistake of almost saying professor.
However, in response he laughed, "Did you just call me Premus?"
Hermione blushed from embarrassment, "...No."
"I think you did."
"Well, what if I did then?" Hermione stated.
Before Remus said anything, Professor McGonagall began passing out the timetables for the year. When all six of them received their schedules, they immediately compared with each other.
"I've got transfiguration for the first one," Peter Pettigrew yelled out.
"You git, all the Gryffindors have that class together, remember?" Sirius laughed although it sounded more like a bark.
"Oh... right," was the little boy's response.
"I'm not the only one who's confused right now," Hermione quickly added.
Hermione decided that if she was going to stay or at least stay here for awhile, she might as well try and change the mistakes that some people have made in the past. Although, being nice to Peter was going to be really hard. In response to Hermione's kindness, Peter smiled at Hermione and went back looking at his schedule.
The day was planned with Transfiguration first with Ravenclaws, Charms, Potions with Slytherins, and then Defense Against the Dark Arts with just Gryffindors. After lunch, the seventh years were taking some career specific classes; Hermione, Lily, and Remus shared Arithmetic and Ancient Runes after lunch.
Amidst everyone talking about schedules, without realizing, Sirius placed his right elbow on the table, let his face rest on his closed fist and casually looked at Hermione. However, once he realized what he had just done, a look of terror crossed his face.
"Sirius," Hermione looked at the Sirius, "are you okay?"
He coughed as if he choke on his food, "Yea, no I'm fine. It was just um...toast."
And knowing that Hermione would point out the lack of toast on his plate and hand, he reached across the table and grabbed James' toast out of his friend's hands and pointed at it.
"Are you implying that you somehow ate James' toast?" Hermione asked while laughing.
"So what did you say about your schedule James?" Sirius quickly turned his attention towards his toast-free friend.
As Hermione quickly looked over at Lily, she noticed her friend mouth, "This is you," and began fluttering her eyelashes at Sirius.
Hermione, miffed at Sirius' lack of response but more so of what Lily was doing, began stabbing her eggs that she was about to eat.
"I believe your eggs had enough of you viciously piercing them," Remus joked.
The witch merely sighed angrily.
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
It had been a month since Hermione had tumbled into the past and she wasn't any farther from where she was at with learning about Time Solstice. However, meanwhile, she had been fully immersing herself into her studies and getting to know her new six friends.
One morning, as the students left the Great hall to head to their classes, Lily pulled Hermione away from the four boys.
Sirius and James laughed at how Hermione was so resistant. Remus merely smiled to himself while he watched Lily drag Hermione towards the Transfiguration classroom with Hermione protesting that she needed her arm back.
"Lily, you know I have to use this someday, right?" Hermione tried grabbing back her arm.
"I believe someone needs saving," Sirius nudged James on the side and headed towards the two girls.
He grabbed Hermione's arm and easily pulled Lily away.
"My knight in shining armor," Hermione laughed.
"Not so fast vile opponent! How dare thee touch my fair maiden's hand!" James bellowed while charging towards Sirius with his wand out.
"En gaurde!" Sirius quickly brandished his wand and a piece of paper. He then transfigured the piece of paper into a miniature jousting stick.
"I believe that's only a term for fencing!" James corrected while he too followed his friend's lead and transfigured a piece of paper into a jousting stick.
Sirius and James acted as if they were jousting, but since horses were obviously unavailable to them, they galloped with their legs. Also, instead of running at each other from opposite ends like jousting is normally done, they chased each other around the hallway with their sticks flailing around their heads.
"Touché, my friend!" Sirius grinned while 'galloping' full speed at James.
Lily and Hermione watched curiously, but left as soon as they became uninterested which was in a minute.
"I was only kidding," Hermione laughed.
"They take everything seriously," Lily replied with a smile, but then added, "I take that back. They're only serious on things that shouldn't be taken seriously."
"I imagine that can get them into trouble a lot."
"Every time."
The both of them turned around to see both Sirius and James looking at them questioningly, their arms now by their sides.
"Come on, we're going to be late," Hermione beckoned to the boys.
Sirius immediately sprang towards the witch, leaving James, Peter, and Remus behind.
"Bloody idiot," James laughed at his friend.
"Don't know, don't care," was Remus' response, although he knew exactly what was going on.
When all of them entered the Transfiguration Room, there was an awkward shuffling around the room with the six teenagers trying to decide who was going to sit with whom. It was decided that James would be sitting with Lily, Hermione and Peter—by the witch's preference—and Sirius and Remus. Once they were all sitting down in their desks, Peter threw the girl next to him a grateful look.
"I almost thought that I was going to be the one left out. Thanks for sitting with me," Peter gave her a shy smile.
"No problem, I just haven't gotten a chance to talk to you at all," Hermione forced a smiled back.
"I'm not much of a talker," he replied while grabbing his books out.
Hermione replied, "I'm not much of a talker either."
"I doubt it. Besides, you've adjusted quite easily here."
"Thanks to you four and Lily," Hermione said, "Without them, I probably wouldn't have any friends."
"I know what you mean, without them, I would probably be labeled as a loser or something, not that I'm not already," Peter claimed.
Hermione merely gave him a smile.
Peter was about to say something else, but Professor McGonagall swiftly opened the doors to the classroom and started to write notes on the chalkboard about the basics of becoming an Animaigus. Hermione immediately noticed that the four Marauders all looked at each other with a wide grin, she smiled to herself, "Wonder what it's like to become an Animaigus..."
Class was over quickly, or that's what it felt like to Hermione, and all the students that were in the Transfiguration Room started to pour out into the hallways.
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
"By Jove, if I ever hear one more sentence containing the word 'Animaigus' I'm going to go mental!" Lily exclaimed into the empty corridors at the end of the day.
The professors had apparently planned their lessons to follow one subject, and sadly for Lily's part, it was all about transforming into an Animaigus. The Marauders on the other hand, knew the particular subject very well, since three of them were capable of transforming into animals already.
"Oh cheer up, Lils. It was bound to happen one day," James wrapped an arm around Lily's shoulder.
"Arghhh," was her response.
Hermione softly chortled and suddenly gasped when Sirius jumped by her side.
She glared at him, "You scared me."
James, who was listening into the conversation, commented, "If you're scared of that right now, then wait till you see him in the morning!"
"Aww... Prongs! Not fair, I don't go snitching to Lily about all your secrets."
With a devilish grin, James looked at Hermione and said, "But he plays guitar so I guess that makes up for his goofiness."
"You play the guitar?" Hermione asked with interest.
Sirius gave James a menacing look and then softened his facial features when he turned to Hermione, "It's nothing. I just play when I'm bored."
"Don't be so modest Padfoot," James slapped his friend on the back. "He's crazy good."
The Marauders and the two girls, still conversing, started to head back to their common room. James and Lily were holding hands in the front while Peter was tagging along behind them and Sirius and Remus soon flanked Hermione's sides.
Before Sirius could say anything, Remus asked, "So how do you like Hogwarts?"
"I like it so far... the professors are incredibly fascinating," Hermione replied.
"We should-"
Remus was interrupted by Lily.
"Hermione! I've got to tell you something," Lily beckoned her friend over.
Hermione gave Remus an apologetic look then walked towards Lily, who left behind James. While she skipped, her brown tresses bounced up and down, catching the sunset light from the window in her hair.
Remus sighed... This was the very thing that he was trying to avoid; it was going to be a very long year for him.
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
The six Gryffindors returned back to their dormitories after dinner and sat in the chairs that they rightly called 'theirs'.
Hermione started to walk towards the red chair that she found herself comfortable in, but when she was about to sit down, she remembered that it was Remus' favorite chair. She sharply turned and sat in the couch that Remus and Hermione had shared earlier in the morning. The amber eyed Gryffindor's face beheld a quizzical brow, but nevertheless sat in the chair that he was so fond of.
Sirius happily bounced towards Hermione and sat next to her on the couch. He made himself comfortable, which was leaning down really low and holding his head up by his two hands that were resting on the back of his head. Sirius closed his eyes and breathed in deeply; Hermione quickly glanced at the close proximity of her and Sirius, she tried not to think about it but that easier said than done. What Lily had said earlier still haunted her thoughts.
Meanwhile, James and Lily were curled up in a small couch; they both had closed their eyes. Peter, however, was rummaging through his bag trying to find a quill, although it was very easily noticeable that it was located in the front pocket.
"Peter, it's in the pocket up front," Hermione advised the pudgy boy.
The boy responded by looking at the front of his bag, finding the quill, and smiling sheepishly at the witch. She grinned, and she too started to look through her bag. Only a few seconds later, she opened a red leather-bound book, she was halfway through it.
He had been casually glancing at her every so often while he read his own book for one of his classes and when he noticed Hermione pulling out a book, he asked, "What are you reading?"
Sirius opened one of his eyes and looked at Hermione curiously.
"Pride and Prejudice, it's by Jane Austen," Hermione smiled fondly at the book she held in her hand.
"Care to tell me what it's about?" Sirius asked in a low voice while he moved to sit up straighter.
Hermione, startled that he was listening in, nodded slightly.
"It's pretty complicated to explain, you'd have to read it. Although, just to warn you, it is a 19th century love story," the witch laughed slightly at the thought of guys reading romance books.
"Have a favorite character?"
Sirius' gray eyes stared into Hermione's own eyes which caused for her to grow uncomfortable.
The Gryffindor girl stuttered while looking down, "I... I- yes, I do. Mr. Darcy I suppose."
"Who?" Sirius gave the girl a bewildered look.
"Should I even bother trying to explain?"
"Er-no, I don't think you should since well, this was the first time I've ever heard of him and the book for that matter," Sirius sheepishly smiled at her.
Hermione couldn't help but faintly smile back at him. However, as quick as the smile had appeared, she swiftly looked away.
"My mum read it, but it was way back then. I still remember her laughing, getting angry and loads of other emotions. It was quite amusing, although I was only nine at the time," Remus added in.
"Oh, I thought I was the only one getting a tad emotional about the book, but it's so good!" Hermione was sitting on the edge of her chair.
Sirius looked sideways at her and chuckled in a quiet manner.
"And can I ask why Mr. Darcy is your favorite character?" Remus asked.
"I-erm... it's a bit embarrassing, really."
"What are you three talking about," James asked sleepily into Lily's red hair.
"Ew, James, don't breathe on me," a muffled voice came from the James' shirt.
"You know you love it."
"In your dreams."
"But you're already in my dreams" James sang.
"You are so stupid at times and I ask myself all the time why I decided to become your girlfriend," Lily laughed.
James then wrapped his arms around her and kissed her softly on her forehead. The green eyed witch blushed brightly while Hermione smiled forlornly; they reminded her of Ginny and Harry so much.
"Get a room!" Sirius yelled.
"Just because you don't have anyone doesn't mean you have to take it out on a happy couple," James grumbled, but stood up and led Lily outside the Common Room.
Sirius then looked over at Hermione and leaned over, draping his arm around her shoulder.
"Do you mind if I read with you?" Sirius whispered softly near Hermione's ear.
The girl tried to hide her shiver, "Um... I er- I guess not."
Remus, on the other side, suddenly fumed with anger. He thought, "Sirius should fully be well aware that I may have some feeling for her..."
Although Sirius had said he was going to read with Hermione, he was more particularly interested in the nice aroma coming off of Hermione's hair.
Hermione suddenly closed the book and started to get up; Hermione couldn't stay sitting there on the couch with Sirius so close to her. However, Sirius grabbed her left arm to prevent her from leaving.
"Where are you going?" his voice sounded a bit husky.
"I'm a little tired, so I'll be off to bed. I'll see you two tomorrow, Remus, Sirius," Hermione nodded to the both of them and practically bolted up the stairs.
Although, the two boys didn't exactly notice, Remus was glaring Sirius who had a daydream look in his eyes.
"Do you like her?" Remus asked suddenly, breaking the grey eyed teenager's thoughts.
"What?"
"Do. you. like. her." he repeated, slightly becoming annoyed.
"She's pretty cute. I wouldn't mind getting to know her better," Sirius replied in a matter-in-fact tone.
"Are you sure that she's just not going to be another notch on your bedpost, Sirius," Remus narrowed his eyes.
"What's gotten into you Remus?" Sirius asked flabbergasted.
"It's nothing," Remus suddenly drew back and closed his eyes; he let out a sigh.
Sirius suddenly became aware of what was going on.
"You like Hermione Granger," he slowly said.
Remus' eyebrows furrowed deeply.
"Sirius..." he slowly began, but was soon cut off by his friend.
"You just didn't seem too interested. I thought you were being your typical Remus Lupin self," Sirius explained.
Remus let out a sarcastic laugh, "Because I was being nice?"
"No, it's just-"
"She's different Sirius," Remus told his friend. "And if you hurt her, I don't know what I'd do to you."
With that, Remus got up and started to head upstairs to his dormitory.
However, behind a slightly opened door, Hermione stood in shock. What Sirius and Remus obviously didn't know was that Hermione had heard every single word that they had said. She froze when she saw Remus looking up at the door, but relaxed when he turned away.
Without thinking, Hermione walked down the stairs to the Common Area. It was when Sirius, with a startled expression, asked what she was doing down here.
"I - um.. couldn't sleep?" her response turned into a question.
"It seems as if you can't sleep at night lately," Sirius teased.
"I- well..." Hermione attempted to say something but failed miserably.
"She's cute when she's embarrassed," Sirius suddenly thought.
Hermione thought that telling Sirius was probably not a good idea, so instead, she said, "Could you teach me how to play the guitar? I've wanted to learn ever since I was a child."
Sirius's face lit up and as a response, he shook his head up with a maniacal grin on his.
"Didn't think it would make you so happy for me to learn the guitar..." Hermione muttered silently to herself.
The wizard merely smiled.
Hermione couldn't help but laugh but that soon died down when Remus came down and walked towards them. At first he was surprised that Hermione was down here, but soon the shock turned into jealousy.
"Oh! Hi Remus," Hermione, shocked at seeing Remus come into the room suddenly, quickly said.
"Could I talk to you?" Remus said while grabbing Hermione's hand without even waiting for an answer.
Sirius jumped up from the couch as if he was going to stop Remus, but decided against it when his friend led Hermione towards the bottom of the staircase that led to the girls' dormitory.
"Ouch, Lup- Remus, you're hurting me," Hermione whimpered while trying to take back her hand.
He immediately loosened his grip on Hermione's arm but still moved his hand down to her own hand. Hesitantly, Remus lifted her hand up to his lips. Closing his eyes, he gently pressed his lips against her skin. Hermione stood there with a shocked expression on her face.
Sirius, who was still standing up, felt a surge of jealousy flow through his body.
Remus whispered, "Hermione, I know this is incredibly forward of me, but if I go on any further without saying something I might just explode. Although I've only known you for a month, it's been rather difficult for me."
"I-"
"Please let me finish," Remus kindly whispered. "The moment I saw you, I knew you were kind but I knew that if I were to get to know you any more, I would probably end up liking you. However, against my better judgment, I find myself in this position telling you that Hermione, you've bewitched me, body and soul. Simply, you had me from hello."
*Cue dramatic music* What shall our heroine do now?
Anyway, I'm really thankful for the feedback given by my first reviewers: Irritable-Grizzly69, PJ littlefoot, classicmovielover, lovely obsession, Suck-A-Butt [I did not pay attention to your pen name like you asked], and padfootsgrl79.
Also, thanks to all who have placed this story under their alert!
Oh and other than the appreciation... I was flipping through the channels this morning and noticed Order of the Phoenix showing on one of my movie channels. I must say, the movie kind of depressed me and couldn't watch the ending. Sirius, being my favorite character and all, dying isn't cool at all.
By the way, did anybody else think that Sirius would have looked differently in the movie? Same goes with Remus... I mean, I completely respect Gary Oldman and David Thewlis, but... they just aren't Sirius and Remus to me.
Sorry for all the babbling. Thanks for reading!
