Back again for another chapter. This isn't getting the total reviews that I would've liked so far. But hey, it's better than nothing.

Alright, don't got much to say, except that if you want to read a good story, go read Hermione Granger and the Heir of Slytherin. It is by far one of the best fanfics I have ever read.

Guess that's all for now. Read on!

"Remus!" a girl screamed from across the hall while Remus walked into Charms with Sirius and Parker.

Sirius glanced back over his shoulder, and chuckled. "Seems you are quite the the charmer, Moony. I'd better be watching out for myself these days."

Parker laughed. "I know. I might get ht over the head for just being seen near you." She laughed it off lightly, but Remus could tell lshe let her gaze linger a little longer than usual.

"I know. It's really over the top. " Remus replied awkwardly, tugging on the hem of his shirt sleeve as he went to go sit with James. Parker waved good-bye as she sat down with Sirius two tables over. Lily bounded over to Remus' table and sat her bag beside his as she took the last seat. An audible grumble overtook the girls in Professor Mandera's class, and James laughed audibly.

Remus laughed. "Lily, it seems to me that you've got the best seat in the class."

Lily laughed. "I think Parker thinks so too."

Remus turned his head slightly, to see Parker staring at him. He gave a little wave, to which she waved back, and smirked slightly.

"I dunno. She's acting the same." Remus shrugged then turned towards Lily.

James scrunched his eyebrows. "Don't worry, the way things are going, it'll be different soon enough. The first Hogsmeade weekend since your make over is this weekend..." His voice trailed off, and he stared pointedly at Lily.

"Potter, do we have to go through this every time? I'm trying to be civil here!" she exclaimed.

"Oh, come on Lily," Remus said softly, "It's just one little date. I'll double if it helps."

Lily stared at James for a long time, then looked to Remus. "Fine. You've convinced me Remus."

James pumped his fist in the air. Lily smiled slightly at Remus, then turned towards the board.

"Ok, class today we're going to learn about..." Professor Mandera's voice trailed off as she looked as Remus.

"Mr. Lupin? Is that you?"

Remus' head went down as every single girl turned to stare, and he could feel the blush coming on.

Remus walked alone to lunch, trying to hide himself from all the girls' stares.

"How do James and Sirius do this?" he thought to himself. But he knew. They had never had anything like this. He was surprised. Everyone knew he wasn't the coolest guy, or the funniest one. The smartest in some things, yes, but he was always second place. Always. The only time he claimed first place was as the scraggly robed, sandy-haired werewolf with an unrequited love.

"Remus, hi!" a girl called to him as he kept walking. He didn't even know her. Red hair, heart-shaped face. He placed her as a fifth year. He was correct.

"Hi..." he replied slowly, and she kept walking with him.

"I'm Jessica Street. Fifth-year Hufflepuff." She smirked, and batted her eyelids. Remus could feel his face going into a mask of utter confusion. Why do these girls think they need to resort to immature flirting to get my attention, he was thinking.

"Hi. I'm guessing you already know me." He grinned, and laughed nervously.

"Who doesn't-" she started to say, but was interrupted by another girl. "Merlin, Jessica, stop stalking the boy." They blonde-haired Slytherin walked up to his other side, as other girls started to walk behing him and towards the front. Almost like a group of Aurors were escorting him to Azkaban. Or at least , that's how he felt.

Jessica rolled her eyes. "Please, he likes me way more than he likes you, Scarlett."

"No way." Scarlett looked Jessica up and down, and all the girls started screaming at one another.

"Stop!" Remus screamed, but none of them could hear him. He took out his wand. "Silencio!" he shouted. Immediately, all the girls were silenced.

"Will you all shut up?" he asked hysterically. "I don't know absolutely any of you, and while I wouldn't mind talking to the sane ones here, one at a time" he emphazied, "I don't want to get hurt because of the fifty cat fights I'm in the middle of."

Most of the girls shook their heads apologetically, except for Jessica and Scarlett, who wouldn't stop staring daggers at each other. Remus sighed and did the only think he thought possible to stop them.

"Would you two like to eat lunch with me in the Great Hall?" he asked. Scarlett and Jessica immediately brightened up, while the other girls' countennances dimmed slightly.

"Finite Incantatem." he said, and the girls' voices came back.

He motioned towards the Great Hall. "Well? You girls hungry?"

And instead of just Jessica and Scarlett coming, the whole group decided to tag along.

Remus kept shoveling food in his mouth, trying to break the awkwardness. He had never been so uncomfortable. All the girls were trying to act as if they weren't staring, but it wasn't working. And all of them were trying to see who could eat less than the other, and be the most charming. Annoying was more like it. Did he have to go through all this for one girl?

"So, Remus, are you excited for the next Quidditch game?" Regina, a sixth-year Slytherin asked.

"Um, sure I guess. My friends are playing, so I hope we win." He shrugged, while all the girls sighed and simpered in their seats.

Remus found it quite funny that at the Gryffindor table, more girls from Slytherin and the other two houses were there than all Gryffindors combined.

The whole day was pretty much the same as lunch, except that Lily joined him, so things weren't quite so bad because he had an actual friend with him. All in all, he felt pretty lonely when Lily or James weren't around.

He climbed into the portrait hole to his room with Parker after the day was over. He was surprised to see her stoking the fire, holding a book in her hands.

"Parker?" he asked, slightly surprised.

Parker jumped slightly, and turned around. "Hey," she said breathlessly. "It feels like years doesn't it?"

He could a feel a blush creeping up his neck. "It hasn't been that bad."

She rolled her eyes, and patted the seat next to her on the couch. "Please. It's been like that one time Sirius and James saw the magical refilling chocolate fountain!"

He laughed along with her. He missed her laugh, the sweet innocence it projected.

"Well, I'm surprised to see you up here, it's only," Remus checked the clock, "Eight o'clock. Left Sirius early?"

She shrugged. "Wanted to see you. I haven't talked to you in forever."

He smiled, more to himself. "It's only been a couple of days, though."

She turned towards him and tilted her head. "It feels longer. I've really missed you."

He couldn't take his eyes off her gaze, and he suspected she was trapped in the same moment. Oh, if only he wasn't a coward, then he could take her in his arms, and really tell her...

He could feel his arms tingling, as if he was causing them pain by not moving, but she broke the lengthy silence first.

"And we never got to have our book discussion..." she trailed off.

He smiled. "Okay, my book is in my book case." He walked over, and took longer than usual trying to find it, letting her have time to recollect herself.

When he came back to sit next to her, there were no traces of awkwardness. She smiled and opened her book to the front cover.

They talked for hours that night, and after grabbing a blanket to keep her warm, she slowly started to fall asleep against the fire, her head bobbing up and down.

"Thanks for a really good night Remus." she said mushily, he could tell she was trying to keep her eyes open.

But very surprisingly, she alertly slipped her arm through his and leaned against his shoulder, and closed her eyes. Minutes later, her breathing evened out, and he could tell she had slipped off to sleep.

He transported a ottoman over to prop up his feet, along with another blanket. He leaned back, trying to become comfortable. Even though this wasn't his comfy bed, this was the best way to end one of the most horriblest days of his life.

Hopefully not too much longer to stand the insanity of women.
