Lyrics This is my Idea
Derek I can't believe I'm stuck with her all summer
I'll bet she doesn't wrestle, hunt or box
Odette He looks conceited
Derek What a total bummer
Odette & Derek If I get lucky I'll get chicken pox
Derek So happy you could come
Odette So happy to be here
Odette & Derek How I'd like to run
Odette This is not my idea
Derek This isn't my idea
Odette & Derek Of fun
King William Good heavens, child, don't dawdle
We can't keep Derek waiting
Odette I haven't packed or washed my hair
And father I get seasick
Queen Uberta She soon will be arriving
Is that respect you're showing
Derek You make me kiss her hand again
I swear I'm gonna be sick
The only point on which they didn't disagree
Was that the very thought of summertime
Was dreaded
Derek She tries to talk me into playing dress-up
She's always flirting with the castle guards
Bromley I think you really sorta like her, 'fess up
Derek I'd like her better if she'd lose at cards
Four sevens and a ten
Odette I think I've won again
Derek & Bromley Every time she's won
Odette This is my idea
Derek This isn't my idea
Odette & Derek Of fun

It was the summer in which I would turn ten years old. It was also the same summer in which the demon from next door got accepted into a wizarding school. According to my aunt he had been offered a place at Hogwarts School of Witch Craft and Wizardry. Not only was he given an invitation but he had declined the offer. My aunt said that he was waiting the reply of another school. It was supposed to be a very strict school for wizards. It seemed that both of his parents had gone to that school when they were young.
When I asked my aunt the name of the school, she could only shrug her shoulders in response. I would have asked him myself if I wasn't busy thinking of a way to get him back. That summer I was finally able to get my revenge…
It had been only a week but I was ready to set out my revenge. I vowed he would remember never to mess with me ever again. I slowly made my way across the yard towards the group of boys. I held the nice stack of papers close to me. My lips threatened to split my cheeks apart from all the smiling. Slowly I could see him turn around. One of his friends had pointed me out to him.
"You again I would have thought that you would have learned by now."
I gave him the best innocent smile I could muster before replying. "Oh I did trust me," with that I began to pass out each of the flyers to every one of the boys except him. He looked like he was just going to ignore me when his friends began to laugh. Whoever said revenge didn't bring happiness was obviously wrong.
"What's going on? What's so funny?" When no one answered he became angry and ended up snatching one of the flyers. "Give me that. I don't see what's so-."
He didn't finish I could see the color drain from his face. There was only one thing left for me to say, "Who's the 'pendeja' now?" I threw the flyers and walked away by the time I was halfway across the yard he managed to respond.
"I'll get you for this."
"Go ahead and try."
I had kept one of the flyers as a personal trophy. My eyes looked down on the picture that was located there smack in the middle. Underneath the words that read "pink really is his color," had a picture of him in a dress. It wasn't any ordinary dress it was pink, full of ruffles and ribbons. He was scowling at the camera when the picture was taken. His brother had forced him in a dress for going into his room. When his mother saw him in a dress she couldn't resist. She had said that she always wanted a picture of a girl. I figured if I shared this with the world that maybe he might realize it was time to get out of the closet. His mother had always wanted a daughter after all.
After that incident I had continued with various forms of torture. It was a few days after that I was caught by my aunt. I had ruined his most prized possession unfortunately my aunt had found out. She began to lecture me while trying to fix the damage that had been done.
"You, young lady sit right there." I did as I was told and continued to pout. This was his entire fault why couldn't he take it like a man.
"You poor dear I'm so sorry. I don't know what's gotten into her but I'll see what I can do about this." He was just sitting there with that stupid innocent façade. I was not fooled he was lying through his teeth.
"I'm not sure myself. One moment I wanted to just say hello and the next she attacks me."
"You little lia-."
"Emily that is enough behave yourself young lady."
"How can I when that little bugger is lying-."
"I said that's enough Emily. Now I want you to apologize."
"Why should I-."
"Emily" My aunt was giving me that look that said not to argue. Oh how I hated him to the depths of damnation.
"Fine! I'm Sorry okay!" When she continued to give me that look I continued. "*Sighs* I'm sorry for using a cutting spell to cut your hair. Are you happy now!"
Earlier that afternoon before any of this had happened. He had been playing with his friends when I had noticed how much he kept touching his precious hair. It reminded of the time he made me look like a complete idiot on the broomstick. Like the saying goes an eye for an eye in this case his hair for my humiliation.
I thought it was only fair that I ruin his stupid hair. After all his ego needed to be taken down a few pegs. It was just a simple spell that could cut tapestries. I simply used it to cut his hair with it. I had only wanted to cut a few chunks here and there but no he had to be a big baby. He went off to complain to my aunt and told her what I did. He complains too much so what if one side was longer than the other, big deal. That didn't give them any right to deprive me of my cream puffs.
The very next day didn't go so well I had lost my temper. In my defense this was all his fault. This was in no way my fault. He had bought a box full of cream puffs and had devoured them right in front of me. I had tried to control myself but he kept taunting me with their creamy filling and outer texture. I had seen him split the little ball of heaven in half before slowly popping it into his mouth. Before I knew it i had knocked him to the ground while I smacked him with the small shovel i had found. It had taken both my uncle and aunt to finally pry my off the jerk. If they hadn't i would have probably killed him.
"It's been a while Emily."
"You're right it has been a long time you jerk."
"I see you grew quite a bit."
"Yes I can now be considered a woman. I'm surprised you noticed."
"Oh I noticed but I wasn't talking about that type of growing. What I meant was that you seemed to have grown to the sides. Pity you were supposed to grow a womanly figure instead you grew manlier curves. Instead of your boobs growing your stomach was the one that did the most expanding."
I wanted to tell myself that whatever he said did not affect me. He was just being a jerk and this had nothing to do with me. How dare he talk about me like that, what does he know anyways. I for one know that I did grow womanly curves. If he wants to be a jerk about it then he can go fall in a ditch somewhere.
"As a matter a fact I don't care what you think. I am a woman; whether you see that or not is your problem."
"You keep telling yourself that well as much as I love humiliating you, I have to go."
I didn't even bother responding I went back inside where my aunt and uncle were waiting.
"Would you two get a room." It was Sirius he was referring to Remus and me. It had been a while since we got back to school but we couldn't stop kissing. We were in the room of requirement we had come here to get a book and had ended up kissing.
"Well Padfoot we did find a room to ourselves until you decided to come in." I couldn't respond since I was hiding my face. Even though it hadn't been the first time we had been caught it still caused me to get flustered.
"Look Moony just because you found yourself a girl. It does not mean you can go snogging her every five seconds."
"Padfoot leave Moony alone besides isn't this, what you wanted." – Prongs
"Yes I did I just didn't expect to be out shinned by Moony here."
"What are you talking about Padfoot?" – Moony
"Haven't you heard what the students have been saying about you?"
"What have they been saying about him?" Now I was curious what had they been saying.
"They are calling him the new heartthrob. I used to be the main heartthrob then Prongs came in second because let's face it his bonkers over Evans."
"I do not like Evans!"
"Yeah, yeah, anyways I'm supposed to be the only heartthrob not Moony here. They're saying he's got better moves than me. Now the only one the hot girls ask for is Moony. Do you know what it does to my reputation?"
He continued on his rant for a while we decided to leave him to his own devices.
"Well looks like you have competition Emily the best of luck to you both." Those were the words that James left me before leaving me alone with Remus.
"What does he mean by competition? I'm confused… Remus?"
"He didn't mean anything by it we should go now."
"Okay."
It was the last two months before school ended and everyone was busy. Whether they were studying for the O.W.L's or they were just busy trying to study for finals. My good friend Lily had the foresight to come to my aid. It was a known fact that I can get easily distracted; it was also a known fact that my biggest distraction came in the form of a certain blue eyed Marauder. That is how I found myself in my current predicament. Lily along with the rest of the Marauders that did not include Remus had banned me from seeing him. I believe their exact words were…
"You are not allowed to be with Remus until after your finals. Is that clear?" – Lily
"*pouts* yes maám."
"You are not allowed anymore Remus time. Is that understood?" - James
"But-"
"No buts."- Sirius
Then when I tried to see him behind their backs I was caught by none other than the two demons.
*Whack*
*Whimpers*
"Bad Emily, what did we say?"- Sirius
"Emily can't see Remus." I try my kicked puppy face on them but it doesn't work.
"And what did we say happens if you disobey?"
"Emily, get's cookie," enters my smiley face and I make a heart shape with my fingers.
*Whack*
Places hands over head to lessen the blows
"Owie"
"No, now repeat what we told you."
"*sighs* if Emily tries to see Remus then Emily gets whacked with a rolled up Daily Prophet."
*Whacks*
"What was that for?"
"That was a friendly reminder."
"*mumbles* I hate you all."
If you are wondering why the love of my life did not come to my rescue all I can say is this is all one big conspiracy. They had lied to Remus and told him that I was the one that wanted some time alone to study. Then they bribed me with chocolate chip cookies so I wouldn't tell. Hey! I know what you're thinking you are probably wondering why I would sell myself for cookies. Don't judge me I'm weak besides they were a fresh batch. I had no choice.
Okay maybe I'm blowing this all out of proportion. I mean it's only three weeks that I have to stay away from him. *Psh* That's easy, I can handle that. I bet it'll be over before I know it. What's a few weeks compared to a lifetime? I can do this it'll be a piece of cake. I am a mature independent witch that can handle anything. I'll just take this a day at a time. No big deal right Mister Waffles? You see he agrees…
AHHHH! I can't take this if I don't see him soon I am going to go mad. How the hell do they expect me to survive? Especially with every witch from school coming to me to say they are sorry I got dumped so soon. What the bloody hell is going on? I can't take it anymore I have to see him. Okay calm down I'm just over reacting again. I just need to take a deep breath in and let it out. I can be calm I am supposed to be strong willed besides I know that we didn't break up. Everything that they are saying are just rumors. So there is no reason to panic…right?
Since I couldn't see Remus I thought it would be best to talk to Lily about my current predicament. I had hoped that maybe she would take pity on me and let me see him. That was not what I got.
"Lily please let me see him. Pretty please just two minutes. I can't take this anymore have mercy."
"Aren't you being a little dramatic?" – Snape deadpanned.
"You stay out of this. Please Lily."
"Emily I don't think you should besides it hasn't even been that long." – Lily
"Are you insane it feels like an eternity."
"It's only been six hours" – Lily
"Exactly six hours do you know what that can do to me?"
"*scoffs* Why, are you having trouble controlling your hormones?"
"I said Shut Up!"
*Whacks*
*Smacks*
Okay I have officially made it to the end of week one. See that wasn't so bad just two more to go.
…
…..
…
I'm doomed.
I was on my way towards the library to meet Lily. I was a bit early but I figured if I couldn't see Remus then what was the point in going anywhere else. Everyone was also studying so I figured I might as well do something productive with my time. Before I could reach the third floor I was promptly yanked into a small closet. Okay I wasn't expecting that. I was maybe expecting buttermilk pancakes just not this. Before I could even utter a word in edge wise a pair of familiar lips came crashing down on mine.
It didn't take long for my own lips to respond back. It had been too long since I felt his lips against mine. I wrapped my arms around his neck as my hands began to run through his brown locks. In less than a minute my back was against the wall as one of his hands wrapped around my waist while the other was in my hair. When we finally pulled back to get some air he finally spoke.
"I'm sorry. I couldn't help it I missed you." His mouth had been next to my ear. The words he had whispered had sent silent chills down my spine. His voice was like a mixture of velvet and chocolate. It was the sweetest type of temptation. I had missed his voice for far too long. I couldn't trust myself to speak his kiss had left me speechless. But I had to tell him how much I had missed him. He needed to know that I had missed him just as much so I showed him instead.
At first I kissed him softly cradling his face between my hands. He responded in the same way. With soft kisses I was explaining to him something that words could not. He understood his kisses told me so. Slowly our kisses became more desperate. I never wanted to stop this. This is where I belonged. Here in his arms being kissed by his lips and only his. In that moment I realized that I would no longer be able to let go. His kisses had become my breath of fresh air and his arms had become my safety net. No other kiss could compare to his. My lips would no longer be able to accept any others. I became his, the moment his eyes met mine, the moment his lips touched mine and this moment the moment he whispered…
"I love you."
"I love you too"
Authors note: okay this is probably one of the shortest chapters I have written. I felt that it needed to stop there. If you like this then please I beg of you send me feedback.
