Chapter Seven

The weeks started to go by, the first full moon had come and gone. Emily hadn't talked to Remus since the whole bathroom thing. He had also been avoiding her. Emily looked at the instructions Dumbledore had given her. She knew she would have to do the next one soon. She sighed as she walked the halls, looking for students out of class. She saw Fred and George, who seemed to be holding something. She peeked around the corner at them to get a better look and to her shock, she saw the map. She quickly walked over to them, she saw Fred tap the map and quickly hide it in his robes.

"Hello," Fred said, trying not to look guilty.

"Shouldn't you be in class?" Emily asked, folding her arms.

"Right," George said, looking at Fred.

"Wait," Emily said, before they could walk off.

"Yes," Fred said.

"Let me see it," Emily said, looking at Fred.

Fred looked over at George, than back at Emily. He rolled his eyes and pulled out the parchment he had hidden. Emily took it from him and pulled out her wand.

"I solemy swear that I am up to no good," Emily said, than noticed the shocked looks on Fred and George's faces, "what?"

"Nothing," George said.

"Where did you get this?" Emily asked, looking over the map.

"Filch's office," Fred muttered.

"Cool," Emily said with a grin, "I was wondering where it went."

"So it's yours?" George asked.

"Maybe," Emily grinned, "you should give it to someone else."

"Why?" Fred asked, looking shocked.

"Well," Emily said, "I'm sure you know where all the hidden tunnels are and I'm sure there is one other person who would really like to get out of the castle and go to Hogsmeade with his friends."

Fred and George looked at each other and grinned. Fred took the map back and they ran off. Emily smiled and watched them go. She took out her instructions and crossed out her second task.

Emily continued on with checking the halls. She didn't seem to have found anyone else. After it had got dark, she went back to her bedroom. She laid down on her bed and fell asleep. She woke up and heard someone opening her bathroom door. She smiled and closed her eyes again.

Emily felt someone sit down on the edge of the bed and ran their hand through hers. Than she felt a hand on her right leg and fingers run over her scar. She openned her eyes to see Remus just checking out her leg, looking sad.

"What are you dong?" Emily asked causing Remus to jump.

"Oh," Remus said, looking around, "I um...I don't know."

"So you just come into the room while I'm sleeping," Emily rolled her eyes.

Remus didn't say anything. Emily sat up and stared at Remus, who was staring at her leg. Emily grabbed her blanket and pulled it over her legs so Remus looked up at her.

"Could you stop staring at that," Emily said.

"I'm sorry," Remus whispered, looking a bit sad.

"You need to stop saying sorry," Emily said, moving a bit closer to Remus.

"I can't help it," Remus said

Emily wrapped her arms around Remus's neck and he wrapped his around her waist.

"What are you doing later?" Emily asked with a smile.

"Well I'm going to Hogseade tomorrow," Remus said, "would you like to come with?"

"Ya," Emily said.

Remus smiled and gave her a kiss on the cheek, before getting up and leaving the room. Emily watched him leave, than removed her blanket off her legs. She looked at her scar and sighed. She went to her trunk and took out something she could wrap her leg up so no one would see the scar. After she did that, she laid back down and went to sleep.

In the morning, she had to help with the list of students who could go to Hogsmeade. Remus was watching her from the castle doors. Just than Harry walked up next to him.

"Are you going to Hogsmeade?" Harry asked.

"Maybe, why? Do you need something?" Remus asked, looking at Harry.

"Well I could use someone to talk to," Harry said, watching his friends leave to Hogsmeade.

"Alright," Remus said, looking back at Emily.

Harry looked at Remus and at where he was looking at.

"Is that your girlfriend?" Harry asked.

"Oh no, I'm single," Remus quickly said, looking at Harry again.

"Can we go for a walk than?" Harry asked, looking around, "It is getting a bit boring watching people get to go to Hogsmeade."

Remus gave a sigh and they walked back into the castle. Emily had finished with the list and headed to Hogsmeade. When she got there, she walked around. She looked inside some stores, but she couldn't find Remus. 'I wonder where he is,' Emily thought. After about two hours of looking, she decided to head back to the castle. She looked around the castle and saw Remus in the Great Hall at the Gryfindor table with Harry.

Emily stared at him for awhile, before walking off. She walked around the castle until it was nearly dark. She went to her room, closed and locked the door. She looked at the bathroom door, before closing and locking it aswell. She laid down on her bed. 'I can't believe he didn't tell me,' Emily thought. She heard a turn on her bathroom door knob. It stopped and a few minutes later there was a knock on her door. She got up and went over to the door.

"Who is it?" Emily asked.

"It's me," Remus said, "can I come in?"

Emily opened the door and looked at Remus.

"What do you want?" Emily asked, folding her arms.

"I'm sorry I didn't go to Hogsmeade today," Remus said, "Harry needed someone to talk to."

"There are other teachers who coud of talked to him," Emily said, "and other friends."

Remus didn't say anything, but just stared at Emily, who closed the door. Remus stared at the door for awhile before he headed back to his own room.
