Chapter 9-

The next day, everyone was still sleeping. It was 7 am and Remus was in deep thought in the common room. He wasn't sure he liked Tessa as more than a friend anymore. Sure she was pretty and smart and they got along great, but they were like best friends now. Also, if you really liked someone, you shouldn't be attracted to someone else, right? Someone like a 7th year Gryffindor… someone like Christina…

Sarah's POV

I was walking down the stairs to the common room and I saw Remus sitting deep in thought…

I said "Hey" and it's like he attacked me, not literally though...

"SARAH! THANK GOD YOU'RE HERE! I HAVE TO TALK TO YOU NOW!" he practically screamed at me.

"Erm, okay then. What's on your mind?"

"Her…"

"Who's 'her'?" I asked, this could get interesting

"Christina, ya know, the American in 7th year?" he said, as if in a daze

"The one who tripped up the stairs last week?"

"Yup, her…she's in my potions class. She asked me for an extra quill…so, I gave one to her. The End. Besides an occasional 'hi' or 'how are you' or even 'that test was kind of hard', that's the most we've ever talked." He finished.

I was kind of in a hurry to see Mush so I just said

"Ask her to Hogsmeade tonight and hope for the best. Be yourself and good luck Remus!" I said walking towards the portrait hole.

He seemed to be pondering the thought and said "Thanks Sarah."

I saw Mush waiting for me outside the great hall and he walked me in.

We both decided after we ate that we were going to play matchmaker for our friends…

James & Lily

Tessa & Amos (A/N: Amos Diggory, she had liked him ever since she realized Remus and her were just friends.)

Sirius & Erin

Remus & Christina

Liz & Peter

(A/N: Katy and Leonardo are already dating if you didn't know)

"This ought to be fun!" he exclaimed.

"Yea, but I dunno if I want to be Yenta of Antevka right now…" I said

"What do you want to do then?" he asked. I just gave him a look and he nodded.

He led me into the broom closet and we snogged for like a half hour. I think I really love him.

LATER

Remus's POV

There she was, I thought. There standing was a pretty girl, tall, and one year older than me. She was about up to my nose but was still tall. She had long brown hair in curls which she only let down once in a while, blue eyes, and was very conservative. She wasn't anorexic like half the school and didn't like to wear tight shirts. She usually wore sweatshirts or t-shirts that weren't skin tight but not huge either. Whatever she was wearing, she always wore jeans. She had converse high tops and was on the quiddich team. She was a fill-in for James and did very well. She was very athletic and didn't care what anyone thought of her. Also, she was American and had no European accent. She was Katy's stepsister and didn't really talk to anyone in our group except for her. She has 2 other sisters in our year and 5th year, Kelly and Jennifer (Jen). Jennifer was the younger one and Kelly was Katy's twin. Kelly was in Ravenclaw and they didn't see us much. Christina moved to America and visited her mom, Katy, Kelly, Jen, and her step dad in Ireland as often as possible and lived with her dad and step mom in Connecticut. She went to Hogwarts with Katy and Kelly when she got her letter and since it's so far away, she stays here for the holidays.

I walked up to her.

"Hi Remus! How are you?" she asked.

"I-I'm pretty good, how are you?" Wow I only stuttered once!

"I'm good, actually. Are you going to stay here for the holidays coming up?"

"Yea, I am. How about you?" I already knew the answer

"Mm-hmm, it's too far to go back home. This year, Katy, Kelly, and Jen are staying too! So at least I get to spend some time with my family."

"I was wondering, m-maybe if you wanted to go to Hogsmeade with me tonight. Maybe get a couple butter beers or something and if you can't I'd understand since you don't really know me that well and…"

"I'd love to Remus."

"It's okay, I under---what? You said yes? YES!" I exclaimed. Oh no! I just exclaimed in front of her. Now she'll think I'm obsessed with her…

"I'll meet you in the common room around 5ish?" she smiled. I love it when she smiles.

"S-sure! Common rooms, 5ish, see you then!" I said.

"SARAH!" I exclaimed.

(Now, no ones POV)

Sarah had just walked in through the portrait hole. She was kind of startled at Remus for the second time screaming at her.

"What is it now Remus?"

"IaskedChristinatoHogsmeadeandshesaidyes!" he said all together in one word

"I see. Well good job. I hear there's a ball coming up. Once they announce it, you can ask her to that too…well I got to go and talk to Peter about something."

"Um okay…thanks for the advice then, it worked!"

"That's what friends are for, right?"

"Right!" he said as he engulfed Sarah in a huge hug

"REMUS…CAN'T…BREATHE!"
