She Always Gets What She Wants

#4: Dance

Rain was enjoying her last "non-stressful" week. Of course, it seemed kinda stressful for her. She had eight tests on Friday. She couldn't imagine thirteen courses and private courses with the marauders and eventually private lessons from Pomfrey. Rain was also going to enjoy her last relaxed weekend, which was why Lily, Alice, and herself were going to Hogsmeade to prepare for the Halloween Dance. First they went to Gladrags Wizardwear to find their dresses. It took Rain about ten minutes to find hers. It was strapless, teal, and went to her mid thigh. It also had magically enhanced pockets. However, Lily and Alice were the type of girls that spent hours trying to find "the right one" but end up buying the first one they saw. After an hour and a half of that they went to the hair salon across from Honeydukes to get their nails done. Rain got all black on her toes and finger nails, Lily got purple with sparkles to match her dress, and Alice got bright yellow. As they were window shopping they decided to talk about their dates.

"So Alice who are you going with?" Rain asked, but already knew.

"Frank Longbottom. You know, I thought he was just going to stare at me all year, but he actually got the guts to ask me to a dance. I really hope this turns into something." Alice said dreamily while smiling.

"That's great Alice! Frank is really nice! I think you would be a cute couple." Lily said truthfully. "What about you Rain? I didn't even know you were going to the dance until yesterday."

"Well Remus asked me on Monday."

"Knew it! Are you guys dating yet? You two would be so cute! Is that why you've been hanging out with the marauders all the time? Explains everything!" Lily said animatedly. Rain laughed.

"I have no idea where me and Remus are but so far, I like where it's going. And actually, I really like the marauders. They're all really cool, even Peter, so I wouldn't be surprised if I started hanging out with them more. Anyways, James is boasting about going to the dance with you Lily, is that true? Or do you want me to knock some sense into him?"

Alice giggled, "Lily always gives James a chance at every dance. But it never turns into anything, yet at every dance he gets super excited." Lily laughed as well,

"I don't understand that boy or his obsession with me. I have to admit, I do fancy him a little, but sometimes he's a real prick." The girls laughed and Rain kept that statement in the back of her mind. When they made it back to Hogwarts Rain saw Remus standing by himself, looking outside with a troubled look on his face. Rain turned her head to Lily and Alice to inform them she was going to talk to Remus instead of joining them for dinner, but they motioned for her to go. Rain smiled and walked up to him and put her hand on his shoulder, he turned to look at her and frowned.

"Rain, I need to tell you something. Do you mind taking a walk with me?" Remus asked while grabbing her hand and holding it tenderly. Rain nodded her head.

"Sure." She answered, even though it was getting dark out. It was silent the first time they walked around the Black Lake, then by the second lap, Remus decided to talk.

"Do you like me? More than a friend?" Remus asked very seriously.

"Yes. I do." Rain answered just as seriously. "Do you like me more than a friend?"

"Very much so. Have you ever wondered why all the marauders are animagi except for me?"

"Yes, but I didn't see the point in asking, I'd figure out eventually." Remus smiled at Rain, but then looked down and let go of her hand.

"I have to tell you something, I'm so sorry I didn't tell you earlier, I was just excited to actually have someone as beautiful as you interested in me and I was selfish. Don't feel like you have to go to the dance with me. You can change your mind and I'm sure you would have no problem finding someone else and-" Rain interrupted Remus,

"Just tell me."

"I have Lycanthropy. I was bitten as a child. I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier."

"That mean's you're a werewolf right?" Rain asked, straining her brain.

"Yeah." Remus said in a half whisper.

"Well that makes sense now. Every full moon I didn't see you and the marauders were never at dinner. You made it sound like you were going to die. It's not a big deal, Remus. Wait. Isn't tonight a full moon?" Remus nodded. "So am I going to hang out with your werewolf form while I'm an animagus?"

"Yes. Which is why we have to leave now, the clouds are going to clear soon. I should have taken so long to tell you. Come on we have to run." Remus grabbed her hand, hoping he could hold off for a few more minutes, and sprinted to the womping willow, throwing her and himself through the shoot under the roots. He guided her through the tunnel and eventually they were in the shrieking shack.

"Well, I never knew there was a reason the womping willow was there." Rain said, then saw that the marauders were a little shaken up.

"Good mate, you didn't kill her. How you holding up ace? We can leave now." Sirius said, flashing a smile at Rain.

"I need to leave now." Remus said in short breaths.

"Alright Sirius and I will go with you and Peter will help Rain with her transformation. It shouldn't take her too long." James said and him and Sirius transformed into their animagus' and ran out with Sirius. It only took Rain an hour this time, Peter was very impressed. Rain smelled something. Something not natural, she assumed it was Remus, and ran after the smell. Peter begged her to wait but she ran off anyways. The smell stopped in the middle of the forbidden forest. Rain had never seen a werewolf before, but she imagined it being more wolf looking. He actually looked like a human/hairless dog/wolf. Rain was fascinated. The whole night they chased Remus and ran from him and occasionally nipped at his legs. Finally, the sun came up and Remus changed back into his human form. Naked. Rain was glad no one could see her blush in her animagus form. But she could see Remus blush. She rolled on her back and put her paws over her eyes until the boys started laughing in there human forms. She growled as a sign that she wanted to turn back.

"Try it Rain. You should be able to do it, Peter was impressed with you today." James said, they were all smiling like idiots, something was up. But Rain tried it anyways. She concentrated really hard on her human form and she could feel herself change. She was really happy when she felt human again and nothing hurt. Except, one thing. Rain looked down to see that they hadn't taught her to change in her clothes by herself. She instinctively went back to her animagus. The boys laughed, even Peter and Remus. She charged and attacked James, leaving bite marks on his arms and face. Sirius picked her up and bopped her on the nose, Rain whined.

"We taught you how to turn into your animagus form all by yourself. No biting. Now concentrate on your clothes on your human form this time." Sirius told her in a stern voice. Rain gave it another try and was relieved to see herself clothed.

"You guys suck." She said glaring at them all.

"Hey, you learned how to transform by yourself. You guys, were going to be together for the rest of our lives! We'll all see each other naked, it's no big deal!" James reasoned. Rain smirked and looked at Remus, he had the same look on his face.

"I guess you're right James." Rain said then her and Remus pantsed James, who blushed wildly.

Rain slept all day, but at five Lily woke her up, in a violent matter. Rain awoke on the floor and heard Lily scream at her. Well, who couldn't hear her?

"RAIN YOU'VE SLEPT ALL DAY! YOU WERE GONE ALL NIGHT WITH REMUS! WE HAVE THREE HOURS UNTIL THE DANCE! AND YOU HAVE CUTS AND BRUISES ALL OVER YOURSELF! YOU NEED TO GET READY AND EXPLAIN YOURSELF!" Rain nodded, Lily was really scary when she yelled. Rain showered and put her dress on, but before she could work with her hair Lily approached her with a jar of clear jelly like stuff. Lily put some on her finger and started applying it on Rain's cuts and bruises. It burned a bit but it was making her minor injuries disappear.

"Ow! Hey! Lily, what is that?" Rain asked, amazed.

"Dittany? You're a half-blood, hasn't your mom given this to you when you scraped your knees or something?" Lily asked a little surprised.

"No. My dad hates magic. When we got hurt, me and Sev were told to suck it up."

"Oh, well I'll give you some." Lily smiled. Lily helped Rain with lightly curling her hair and in return Rain curled Lily's. After all the make-up and primping Lily and Rain saw they had nothing to do for another half an hour. They decided to go down to the common room and wait, I guess the marauders decided to do the same. They were awestruck when they all saw the two girls. But Rain didn't notice, she was looking at the jar of Dittany she received from Lily. Lily backhanded Rain on the arm. She looked up, confused, but then looked at the boys and smiled. But her smile turned into a frown as she saw all of them had cuts and bruises, especially Remus. She ran over to them and covered them in dittany. She was proud to see them impressed with her.

"Why do you all have cuts and bruises? You know Remus, Rain was gone all night last night with you! Then she came back and slept all day! And she had cuts and bruises everywhere just like the rest of you! What's going on? Are you a marauder Rain?" Rain laughed and shook her head,

"No, I'm not allowed to be a marauder."

"Lily, we heard you screaming from our room, we know why you're mad. It's nothing to worry about, we were just messing around and pulled an all nighter last night. Bloody hell." Sirius said a bit annoyed.

"An all nighter? An all nighter before a dance? Are you serious?"

"Lilykins, dear, please. Don't worry about it, I was watching all of them. I'm the best supervision there is! Now, Lilykins you look so beautiful! I didn't think it was possible to look any prettier, but you proved me wrong." James said enthusiastically and leaned in for a kiss, but just got a slap in the face.

"Rain, you are absolutely stunning." Remus said, being modest. Rain smiled and walked over to him.

"Awe. Thanks Remus, you look quite dashing yourself." Rain said and pecked him on the lips. Sirius abruptly left the room back into the dormitories. But the marauders already knew why he was acting so strange and Lily and Rain didn't really care.

"James you should really act more like Remus. He just got a kiss and I just met him a month ago." James sighed and Lily decided to fix her make-up.

"Well, now that we're alone. The marauders decided to give you a nickname, and you can call us by our nick names. I'm prongs, your sweet" James said sarcastically, "Is Moony, Sirius is Padfoot, Peter is Wormtail, and you are, drum roll, "James waited for a drum roll that never came, "Socks!" James announced.

"Wait. Ok, Prongs because of your antlers, Moony because Remus is a werewolf, Padfoot because of Sirius' paws, Wormtail because of Peter's tail and Socks because of?" Rain asked, severely confused. James slapped his face.

"Because most of your fur, except for your face and the end of your tail is a reddish brown. But the majority of your legs are white, so it looks like you're wearing long socks." James explained.

"Oh!" Rain exclaimed, "Aw! That's so cute James!"

"Oi! Unless you're have a serious conversation with one of us, you have to call us by our nicknames."

"Whatever Prongs." Rain smiled. After a few minutes of conversation, the marauders and their dates walked out of the Gryffindor portrait hole. Since the marauders were very popular, many people stared and gossiped about them and all their dates. Sirius had some Slytherin slut hanging on his arm, nearly busting out of her dress. Peter had a quiet Hufflepuff smiling up at him, meekly holding his hand. James had Lily who at least hooked arms with the poor boy. And Remus had the new kid, Rain, Snivelus's sister. The dance was very fun, there was good food, good music by the Weird Brothers, and Remus was one of the best dancers Rain had ever met. By the end of the dance Peter got tired and went to bed, Lily was done with James, Sirius and his date left at the beginning of the dance, and Remus and Rain were one of the last couples still dancing. Unfortunately the dance went by to quickly and it was over, before they got to the Gryffindor common room Rain slammed Remus into a wall and pressed her body into his and made out with him. After a few minutes Remus pushed her away, kissed her on her forehead, said goodnight, and left rather quickly, leaving Rain confused, and a bit hurt.

"You were gone for a while Moony. WOW! Put that away!" James shouted and motioned to the bulge in Remus' pants. Remus blushed and put on a long jacket.

"Did you lose your virginity too?" Peter squeaked.

"No. Who else lost theirs?" Remus asked.

"Yours truly." Sirius answered unenthusiastically. "What did she do to give you that?"

"Oh. She um... She slammed me into a wall... And made out with me." Remus said awkwardly.

"Wow, aggression. I'd kill for aggression. Leah just laid there, like a rag doll, and let me do whatever. It sucked." Sirius said, clearly upset and jealous. "How long did you get her to make out with you?"

"Well a few minutes, but she kinda scared me I guess. So I left her. I shouldn't have. That was wrong."

"You just left her there, after she gave you that monster?" James said shocked. The rest of the night was spent talking about the marauders encounters with there dates.

AN: So Rain can transform into her animagus all by herself now. Her and Remus are getting a bit more serious. And Lily admitted she kind of fancies James. And WOAH! Sirius isn't a virgin and he didn't sound too happy about it! But remember in the first chapter? Rain committed adultery in a janitor's closet, so Rain isn't a virgin either. But the rest of the marauders are!
