Disclaimed.

A/N: oh, joy. I've been on vacation, and when I got 2 reveiws I was thrilled! then I realised that's pathetic, seeing as 5 people are on watch, and only 2 reveiwed.

Chapter7: What they did not do.Meg wandered down the stairs slowly. Still pondering the necklace and it's sender, turning it in her hands and looking for any markings, but there was nothing. It was a plain heart shaped pendant with a clasp. Thinking it over twice, she opened the locket. Music illuminated her mind, her heart swan dived into her guts, she felt her eyes glaze over a little. She was in heaven, until she bumped into a lumpy figure in the common room and dropped the necklace. Meg blinked a couple times, as Remus Lupin turned around and smiled sweetly at her.

"Sorry," She said, and blushed. "I-I was" She looked down at the necklace still open and glowing. They both reached down for it, and grabbed it at the same time.

Music illuminated her again, her heart sang- Then it stopped, the music was gone, but her eyes were closed this time, and she felt someone's presence on her lips. She moved away quickly and opened her eyes, Remus, gave her an apologetic look and began whispering really fast. "I'm so sorry I don't know what happened there. I've never done anything like that before. Was that supposed to happen?"

"I don't know," Meg said shakily, "I'm sorry," She stood up quickly and felt tears in her eyes, "I should be more careful."

"It's-" he was going to say "okay." but she ran out the portrait hole.

Remus looked around, no one else seemed to have seen that. Sirius was staring into the fire more despondently than anyone had ever looked at anything, and the only other people in the room were some fourth years snogging in an arm chair by the window, and some younger girls having a laugh over cookies and a game of wizard's chess.

Remus, wondered whether he should still check on James, or go check on Meg. A moments indecision made him lose Meg's trail, he turned to go back into the common room but, a soft sob came from a classroom right next door. He listened for a moment, and then knocked. No noise came from th classroom. He sighed. "Meg, I know you're in there." He heard her laugh.

"No, I'm not, please go away, I don't know any person named Meg. This is er- Peeves." she said.

"You could just tell me you hate me instead of running circles around it," He teased, as he opened the door. She was sitting with her legs pulled up to her knees behind a desk in the back row. Remus walked up next to her and sat down. "You never sit in the back row," He said.

Meg shook her head and threw the locket on the desk.

"What's eating you?" Remus asked trying to cheer her up. "That song get old?"

"No." She said resting her chin on her knees.

He pulled his knees up to his chest and rested his chin on them and asked, "then why are you sitting like this?" he picked up the locket, "And why did you throw this pretty thing?" He handed it back to her but she turned away.

"Because I'm compulsive, indecisive, and in love. It's a deadly combination." Meg said.

"Oh," Remus said, "and what exactly happened?"

"I don't know," She shook her head. "Sirius was so nice to me last night, and I thought I liked him, he walked with me all the way back to my dorm instead of going to a party, I kind of feel like I should like him. and then this morning I got that" She gestured to the necklace, "somebody really sweet loves me, and I was confused, and It just got a lot more confusing" She laughed nervously as she gestured towards him.

"I got put in that mix?" Remus asked, "Listen, I'm sorry I didn't mean to kiss you."

She looked over at him, "I guess that makes my decision easier." She sounded very sad, "I kind of figured you didn't like me. Now, I only have to break one guys heart. Yay." She ended sarcastically.

"Chin up there, Meg," He said, "you don't even know who this guy is, you could hate him."

"You really don't know?" She asked.

"C'mere," He said gesturing for her to lift up her head. He put the necklace around her neck, and whispered then, "Can I tell you a secret?" in just such a way that made her spine tingle, gave her odd goose bumps, and rendered her speechless. She opened her mouth but nothing came out.

Someone Banged on the door.

"Remus? Are you in there?" Sirius called.
