Ch.5 I Hate That I Love You

REUMUS POV

This is just bloody brilliant!

Why does the universe hate me? Why?! What have I done in this life that was so bloody horrendous that universe has decided to punish me for?

Deep breaths, Remus, Calming breaths. Breath in. Breath out.

(sigh) I take it none of you know what the hell I'm talking about do you? All right then. Let's recap the last forty or so minutes so that I may vent properly to you.

"James and Remus, why don't you go join Regulus' group?"

Bloody Brilliant.

"Let's get this over with." I said as we walked over to Regulus' table.

"Who is that?" Lily asked. "That," I began tiresomely, "… is Regulus Black. He's Sirius' younger, erolder, brother and a complete and utter pain in the ass." "Remus!" James scolded. "Don't start with me Potter!" I snapped. "He looks like if I touched him he'd feel damp." Lily said thoughtfully. "That's because he's a greasy git." James muttered. "What's a git?" asked Lily. "He is." Replied James.

Regulus sneered at us as we put our books down. "Well, well. What do we have here?" He asked. "What a stupid question." James said, as he added in the ingredients. "James, don't say that!" shrieked Lily, hitting him. "There are no stupid questions, James. Only stupid people."

Lily, oblivious to the insult hidden in her remark, began helping James stir the potion. "Don't call my brother stupid, you filthy mudblood!" screamed Sirius. "STOP CALLING ME A MUDBLOOD YOU JERK!!" Lily shrieked as she shoved Sirius towards the cauldron.

It was as if it all happened in slow motion.I saw Sirius falling towards the potion, and I remember thinking ' Oh Lord, please no!'. But I couldn't do anything. I tried to grab him to pull him out of harm's way. But I was too slow.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" I yelled, as Sirius was coated with love potion. " NOT AGAIN, GODDAMNIT!"

And then everything went black.

PRESENTDAYPRESENTDAYPRESENTDAYPRESENTDAY

And THAT is what happened, ladies and gentlemen. So hopefully you understand why the universe hates me. Because I must certainly do not. Now, not only do I have two four year olds to look after, but I also have a four year old that's madly and passionately in love with some unfortunate soul. I am so ridiculously angry that I could just kill some……

"Hey Remus. Ya feelin' any better?" asked James, tentatively.

"Yea. What happened? I remember Sirius falling into the Amortentia but then everything went black." I said. "Oh, that's kinda my fault. See, when the incident happened, you kind went a little crazy. So I stunned you to keep you from hurting someone. And don't worry, you don't have to go to any classes. Madame Pomfrey thinks you need to take a 'mental health' day, in order to…um…. I dunno. Recuperate or something."

So that's why I'm in the hospital wing.

"How are the kids?" I asked. " Oh they're fine." James began, looking furious. " Sirius, being the little shit that he is…" "JAMES!" " Fine fine! Being the wonderful little boythat he is, just HAD to look at Lily first! So now he's all 'Oh Lily, your hair is soooo soft! Wow Lils, your eyes sparkle with the radiance of a thousand suns! Lily I want to have your babies!' It's making me sick to my bloody stomach Remus! And Lily's not helping matters. She seems to enjoy him flirting with her! It's disgusting!" he vented.

" James, are you… jealous?" I asked incredulously. " Me? Jealous of him? Ha! Don't make me laugh! I just think it's inappropriate." "Really?" I laughed. "Because it seems to me that you're angry that Sirius is going after, oh what is it you call her? Oh, that's right, your woman."

"Oh yea? Well… at least I have a woman! You're alone!" James yelled defensively.

"I'd rather be alone than be lusting after a four year old!" I cried, stung by his remark. I'm alone by choice. It's not like I couldn't find someone if I tried!

" This is stupid. I'm sorry, man. I'm just upset over this Lily thing. I shouldn't be yelling at you, you're one of my best friends." James sighed. "I'm sorry too. You have every right to be upset. I shouldn't have yelled at you. Because you're one of my best friends too, James." I replied.

" Aw, that's so sweet you guys! You two want to get a room so you can go make-out for a while?" Regulus sneered from the doorway. If James has any self control, he won't respond to that.

"Shut up you son of a bitch!"

And so it begins.

Hey everyone! Super sorry for the wait! But trust me, if you had to deal with spirit week and a dumbass (sorry for the vulgarity! I'm in a mood.) class president, you wouldn't update much either.

Hugs, Kisses, and Trying-to-stay-cheerful Wishes!
