Chapter Twenty-One
Are you there…? Riley?
Remus stared at the piece of parchment. Spending countless hours in the Hospital Wing with nothing to do but sleep and stare out the window was not Remus's idea of a good time.
An hour or so later — Remus had dozed off and lost track of time — a response appeared on the page.
Remus? I'm sorry, I just saw your message…I hope you haven't been waiting too long.
Don't worry about it…I fell asleep…
Must be real exciting in the Hospital Wing
Remus detected sarcasm and smiled. Oh loads, he replied just as sarcastically.
Do you think I could come visit you today? Maybe around lunch or something?
That would be up to Pomfrey…But I don't mind.
Maybe I'll try…
Remus smiled. I'd like that…it's awfully boring here.
Haven't your friends come to visit you?
They tried yesterday, he told her, remembering the ruckus they had caused outside. He thought better of telling her that they had visited him after hours last night. But word is that you missed me yesterday… He probably just made her blush.
But how did you know?
A little birdie told me.
What?
My friends sent me an owl, He clarified. A lie here and there to protect his secret…he was use to it…
Several minutes passed without hearing from her. He was starting to wonder if he had said something wrong when once more words began to appear on the parchment.
Sorry, McGonagall was walking around the room to see what everyone was up to…Couldn't risk being caught.
Oh no, that's fine. I don't want to risk you getting in trouble because of me. Remus replied sincerely.
You're too kind, I really hope Madame Pomfrey will let me in to see you. I'd love to actually talk to you for once…
Yeah, I'd like that too… He didn't know why, but suddenly his quill seemed to take up a life of it's own and he wrote something he hadn't planned on. I'd also like to take you on a date or something…once I'm out of here. "What?" Remus mouthed to himself. "I've lost my mind, she's too shy, she'll never go for that…"
I'd love to…Are you better yet?
I think I'm feeling better already!
You're um…you're not like Sirius are you? I mean, you don't snog and dump right? She asked hesitantly, the words appearing slowly.
Certainly not! Have you ever seen me with a different girl hanging off my arm each week? He asked. He just has attachment issues.
Attachment issues?
Yeah, as in the only attachment he has with his girlfriends is his lips and theirs.
Oh!
I understand why you'd be worried… After what Sirius did to your friend…
Do you even know what happened?
Honestly…No. Sirius may snog and dump but he rarely dumps and tells us anything. All we ever get out of him is a shrug…
Oh, well I won't bore you with the details, she wrote. It's probably not something you want to hear about one of your best friends anyways…
Don't worry. I know he's an ass.
Remus!
What? It's true…
Haha, don't make me laugh… McG just gave me the weirdest look!
Sorry…
You should be! (sarcasm…)
Remus laughed to himself. 'If she's this much fun in writing I wonder what she's like in person!' he thought.
Hold on…class is almost over. Her words appeared quickly and sloppily. I'll visit you when I'm done eating, if I can. Want me to bring you something?
Real food would be nice… Surprise me!
Will do.
Until then…goodbye.
Goodbye Remus and take care.
Nothing else appeared after that and Remus sat back with a sigh. He reread their conversation and smiled. Relaxed yet anxious to speak with her he realized that they had barely spoken two words to each other, let alone an entire conversation. This seemed the beginning of a beautiful yet strange relationship.
