Hey, So here is Chapter 2! I promise to get a move on with the Lovey dovey secret stuff, let me just do it my way. Dude, it's only chapter 2 chill your beans.

Disclaimer ~ So...it was I who invented Harry Potter. Okay, you caught me- I'm kidding. Had you there for a second... you were like 'Woah - MY LIFE IS A LIE!' and all that Jazz. But no, it actually belongs to some chic called J.K. Rowling. huh. Except my OC- GWEN. SHE'S MINE!

Chapter 2: The almighty love doctor

I woke up the next day feeling horrid, and I soon gathered why as I looked at my watch- 4:06AM- seriously! But I knew that I couldn't sleep now. I had a shower and then crept through the dorm to the door, trying not to wake Marlene or Dorcas, and most importantly lily. It took her a good few days for her rants to dry up and fade out. I didn't want to face her right now.

I thought about lily as I walked to the great hall. I thought about how much she was changing. The time that she wasn't constantly talking about James was decreasing; he came up in EVERY conversation now. I and lily used to be so close, but now I couldn't help feel like I was doing a chore by being around her. I was always the person to listen to her ranting, to agree, to say 'No way!' and 'HE didn't' until she eventually ran out of rage. But I couldn't do that anymore.

She never used to get so angry. Last year she would never have stomped on James' foot, or screamed in his face, nor would she have grabbed my work and ordered me to follow her like some faithful st. Bernard. But this was our sixth year now. Lily was different. Maybe I was different too?

Regardless, I knew that I'd be spending a lot more of this year in the library by myself. I looked at my watch as I sat down on the Gryffindor table next to the only other person there. It was now 5:02AM- I don't think I've ever been down here so early. I filled up a plate and began to butter some toast as I greeted the lone marauder. 'Hey Remus.'

He looked at me and a small smile tugged on his lips. That's when I looked at him; really looked at him. He was ill again. His eyes were bloodshot and his skin was sickly pale, and he looked like he hadn't slept at all.

'Hey Gwen you're up early?' he posed it like a question. But I was too worried as I looked at him. He noticed and his eyes widened slightly before he sucked in a breath and muttered, 'What?'

'Are you okay Remus? You're ill again. Maybe you should go see Miss Pomfrey.'

He smiled and shook his head, 'No, really I'm fine' I frowned. He didn't look fine. Why didn't he want to go to the hospital wing?

'I'll go with you if you want. Really, we could go now...' I tried but he shook his head smiling at me and waved his hands at me.

'Really, I'm fine. Just tired. It'll pass.'

'If you're sure…' I said eying him again like he might pass out at any second.

'I am. Now, are you going to tell me why you're up so early?' He said. I raised my eyebrows as he changed the topic.

'I woke up at four and I knew I wouldn't be able to get back to sleep.' I shrugged. He looked at me,

'And of course it has nothing to do with lily. Maybe you should just talk to her.' Remus had a knack for knowing this kind of thing and I'd stopped guessing how. I shook my head,

'Don't know what you're talking about…' I muttered.

He bumped my arm with his, 'Sure, well if you need a library partner this afternoon- I'm free.'

I smiled. That's what I liked about Remus- he didn't try to pull secrets out of you- he was a good friend. 'I may just hold you to that. So why are you awake?'

'I'm always awake at this time.' He said. I frowned,

'Really, why?' Why would anyone want to get up so early, every day?

He chuckled as I made a face, 'just because you sleep like the dead doesn't mean it applies to us all'

'I do NOT sleep like the dead. I just like sleep. Besides how would you even know that?' None of my dorm roomies talk to him that much.

'I sit behind you in history of magic, remember?' It's true, and who can actually stay awake in that lesson anyway?

'Oh right.' I said and he chuckled softly. I bumped his arm, 'So, where's your little gang?'

He raised his eyebrows, 'Little gang? In bed. I should probably get them up soon.'

'You wake them up? Wait, what am I saying-of course you do'

Remus shrugged. 'Someone has to- or they'd never get out of Miss McGonagall's detentions. Well, I'm going to go wake them now- want to come?'

I snorted. 'I'll pass'

He rolled his eyes, 'Suit yourself.' And then he went off to wake up his friends. More students were waking up and coming down though it was barely past 6. Marlene came in and skimmed the hall until she saw me. She sighed relieved and flopped down beside me. 'Merlin, I thought you had been kidnapped!'

'Kidnapped…In a boarding school. Really?' I raised an eyebrow trying not to laugh. She did though.

'Well, what was I supposed to think when I woke up to see your bed empty.'

I frowned, 'Oh, I don't know- that I'd woken up early and had gone down for breakfast-like a normal person?'

She gave me a look, 'Be serious'

I rolled my eyes at her. Huh, was it really that hard to believe I would wake up early? Probably.

'so, lily is mad'

I sighed. 'yep' popping the 'P'.

Marlene ruffled her blond hair, 'Okay, so I was thinking I'd take her in the morning – so that's period 1 and 2 and then Dorcas will sit with her at lunch and then you can have her period 4 and 5 and then Dorcas said she'd have to have lily on prefect duty so… sound fair?'

I laughed- over the past couple of weeks we'd taken to babysitting lily when she was in a 'potter mood'. Then frowned. 'Wait, no way- She'll see potter at lunch so she'll be Fuming 4th period!'

'Tough- I already decided. And plus after you drifted off last night I was the one who had to listen to the encore.'

I sighed, 'This is getting ridiculous'

'Blame potter' she always said that during lily's 'potter moods' like it solved everything. But it didn't and I don't think James should take the wrap for lily overreacting. But I didn't say that aloud. Marlene would probably make a crack about me becoming bitter. I think I probably was.

'So, I cannot decide what to wear. Gold or red? See I found this gold dress in hogsmeade but I don't like the way it makes my hair look. It'll have to be red.' Marlene got asked to the dance by Jordon Adams. A seventh year ravenclaw. He seemed nice enough and he was charming enough. Dorcas always said she'd end up going out with a ravenclaw because her old boyfriend Marcus didn't challenge her enough- she needed someone who threatened to be smarter than her.

'I can't wait for hogsmeade tomorrow; seriously, I'm running low on sweets.'

'I ran out of sweets the day after our last trip Gwen, yours have lasted almost a whole week so I think you're getting better at rationing them out.'

'Hmm, or i just buy loads more than you guys'

'Or that.' Marlene chuckled.

'well, regardless I need more.'

'Do you like Amos?' She threw the question out bluntly.

'Who? Amos Diggory?'I said confused.

'Is there a different Amos?' she asked flatly.

'I don't know. Why?' I asked suspiciously. Marlene never mentioned a boy for no reason. She shrugged.

'Because he's been staring at you for a while now.'

My eyes darted to the hufflepuff table and roamed it until they met with amos's. He was looking our way, oblivious to his large group of friends laughing around him. He looked down at his food, busted. Well, he was definitely looking our way. 'Maybe he was looking at you?'

Marlene snorted disbelievingly, 'uh huh. Okay. So, do you like him?'

I sighed and thought about it, Marlene shook her head disappointed, 'babe if you have to think about it-the answer is no.'

I looked at her and laughed, 'Thank you almighty love doctor.' I said sarcastically.

She nodded, 'anytime'
