Oooh a second upload today o.o it isn't that long though, but I hope you'll forgive me ^^

Chapter 9 – A stroll in the castle

Their next lesson came and went and suddenly it was time for lunch.

Remus was starving. He hadn't eaten anything since lunch yesterday, but he didn't feel like eating with the others.

They sat down with the gryffindor-table, but after a couple of minutes, which Remus had taken full advantage of and stuffed himself, as if it was his last meal, Remus left the others.

"I have to do some homework" he said, grabbed his bag and before anyone could protest he was out of the hall. The chilled corridor calmed him and he took a deep intake of air. Next lesson was potions with professor Slughorn. Remus had never been particularly fond of potions. Rushed steps sounded behind him.

"Hey, Rem. Wait up" Amy called as her mary janes clacked against the stonefloor.

She was slightly out of breath "Why do you… walk that… fast?" she said, trying to catch her breath.

Remus gave a little laugh and reduced his speed.

"Where are we going?" She brightly asked, flinging her golden hair back.

"Ehh…" Remus hesitated, he hadn't thought about that, "I don't know" he confessed.

She grinned at him "All right, are we just wandering the corridors, then?"

"I guess so," Remus said.

She seemed a lot happier now. Remus was delighted. He hated seeing people down.

"Who are you going with this Saturday?" She suddenly asked.

"This Saturday?" Remus asked with a quizzical look.

Amy raised her eyebrows "Hogsmeade" she said, in a duh!-tone.

"Oh" Remus said, "I almost forgot, of course"

"So you are going with someone" she said, with an almost disappointed look.

"No, that's not what I meant. I suppose I'm going with my friends, I always do. Why?" Remus felt like hitting himself, hard, for the last part. Why? my good sir, are you stupid? He furiously asked himself.

"I was just wondering if you wanted to go with me" she said playing absentmindedly with her hair.

Shit, shit and twenty times shit. He couldn't go with her without giving her the wrong idea and he hated rejecting people.

"We can go together, all of us" Remus suggested.

Amy continued playing with her hair. Then she shot him an almost desperate look and whispered: "I don't want to go with Sirius"

Remus wanted to hug her tightly "I see. Then it's just us I gue…" Remus never finished the sentence. In that second he noticed Sirius standing close against the wall snogging a girl. It wasn't the girl from the day before though. This one wore hufflepuff dressrobes and had long brown hair in a nuance that almost resembled Remus' hair.

"Oh for the love of…" Amy began.

The couple quickly looked up, the girl's cheeks burning brightly red.

Remus and Amy hurried down the corridor "I've bumped into him snogging a dozen different girls the last couple of days. It's insufferable" Amy whispered.

Remus didn't have clue whether or not that was a good thing. On the bright side, it meant that the slytherin-girl and Sirius wasn't dating or anything. On the other hand though, Remus actually wasn't quite sure what it meant, that their kiss hadn't been anything unusual anyway? That Sirius was a little slut. The last thing wasn't news, Remus thought with a snort.

Remus noticed that the sight hadn't affected him nearly as much as seeing Sirius with the slytherin-girl. It still hit him with a numb cold feeling, but not the burning, sickening sensation from yesterday. Perhaps it was because he'd gotten used to the thought, that Sirius was kissing whoever he wanted to.

It didn't seem to affect Amy much, Remus happily thought. That possibly meant that she was getting over Remus' reckless friend.

That was the chapter for this time ^^

Please review, I'll love you and bring cake ^^
