Why? Oh why did this have to happen to ME? –part 16

First off I would like to say sorry for the last chapter. I know that it was short and stuff. Recently, I started school again and I'm taking some courses that take up a lot of time. One of the classes is four hours straight I mean who does that. Long story short I'm going to be really busy. I had thought about putting the story on hold but your lovely reviews have prevented me from doing so. Basically it's all thanks to all of you and your wonderful reviews. Anyways hopefully this chapter makes up for the last one. So enjoy!

Oh and special thanks to the following…

"I can just imagine Remus carrying off a small black cub like it was a cat or something" – I imagined this too. I thought it only made sense that I should make her into a little cute bear.

"don't stop writing or I'll let Crookshanks disect you alive" – can you believe I spent my week watching out if crookshanks was going to come out of the bushes. :)

Apocolips

Emily's POV

"I just can't believe you never told us that you're an Animagus?" It was James, we were currently outside on the grounds. As you can guess I was the topic of the current conversation. I wanted to talk about what types of cakes are better but no.

"You guys never asked so I figured it wasn't important. Besides I never even wanted to be an Animagus." At the moment I was trying to see if I could win Sirius at chess. I'm not that good but neither is he.

"Then why did you do it and who taught you? You had to have had some help." James, it seemed like he had never heard of someone else do it. It's not that difficult if you have help.

"Check mate! No one taught me. It just happened."

"Buggers, Prongs you go next you're better at this than me."

"Wait what do you mean it just happened?" It was Remus, he surprised me. I thought he was going to the library to finish up a paper. I jumped up from my sitting position to greet him.

"This is all my fault I should have never given you the secret weapon?" We all turned in the direction of Sirius we had no clue as to what he was talking about.

"What in the blazes are you talking about Padfoot?"

"You know," when everyone continued to give him weird looks, he let out a sigh before continuing. "Remember I told him that he should just grab a girl and snog the crap out of her." I could only stare dumbly at Sirius. He had reminded of the day Remus had kissed me after we had just gotten into a fight. I could feel myself turn red up to the roots of my hair. Peter was the first to respond out of all of us.

"Wait, but that doesn't work when I try it."

"That's because you don't have the right charm for it."

"Oh and how would you know?" Remus smoothly replied with a small quirk of the lips. He was having fun with my current embarrassment I could see it in his blue eyes. I buried my head into his chest. How can he be saying all this out loud? I could feel the stares of everyone that had gathered around to hear the conversation.

"Are you saying that's not how it happened?" Sirius responded with a quirk of an eyebrow.

"I didn't say it did or it didn't. I am simply wondering how you came to that conclusion." I stared at him in shock. I couldn't believe it was Remus seriously joking around. I could hear the gasps of the audience. Everyone was just so used to quiet and calm Remus, so it came as a surprise that he was acting this way. I could see it on his face he was smiling. He was definitely enjoying the reaction he was getting from everyone else.

"It's me I have my own ways of finding out. That and I might have happened to come across a sleeping Emily. She kept mumbling in her sleep mainly about you." I felt my eyes go wide so I had said something. That jerk lied to me he said I didn't say I word that's it he's dead. My harms had found themselves around his neck while Peter tried prying me off.

"How dare you? You lied to me!"

"What? Oh and you snore by the way."

"Blasphemy!"

"*ahem*" I was afraid to turn around. In my mind I hoped that the person who was interrupting me from murdering Sirius wasn't who I thought it was.

"Ms. Thompson." Yup, there was no mistake the person behind me could only be one person. She scared me even more than Filch did. I slowly let go of Sirius and turned around to face the demons of all demons.

"Yes?" Professor Hetherhorn, the scariest and ugliest of all professors. She was in charge of the Divination department. She did not like me one bit just because I accidently dropped one of her glass balls. I said oops, it's not like I killed her cat besides I even offered to buy her a new one.

"What have I told you?" This was a trick question and she knew it. I was afraid to answer.

"No more sweets after two o'clock?"

"Come with me." I let my shoulders slump. Oh did I hate her if I ever learned how to use my wand properly she'll be the first one I jinx. "I want you to recite all twenty word for word."

"All twenty? But I-."

"I said recite, don't make me repeat myself."

"Hmpf *mumbles* witch"

"Rule 1: I shall not steal chocolate frogs from fellow classmates." I felt ridiculous the first rule didn't even make sense I didn't even know anyone who had chocolate frogs. "Is this really necessary?" she just gave me a look telling me to continue.

"Rule 2: I will not eat in class." Do you see what I mean what kind of horrible professor prevents students from eating.

"Rule 3: I may not drool when I see images of food in tea leaves." I only did that once you'd think she would let that one go but no.

"Rule 4: Under no circumstances am I allowed to dream or fantasize about Remus Lupin-. Hey! That's uncalled for this is a violation of-. Actually I don't know what it violates but its violating something."

SMACK

Stupid daily prophets, who the hell taught her how to hit.

"Finish." I could only glare at her.

"Rule 5: I shall not doodle Emily Lupin in my notebooks-. Wait! Who showed you my notes? It was Sirius wasn't it. I swear when I get my hands on him I'm gonna-."

SMACK

"You're not done."

"*glare* Rule 6: *glare* I shall not threaten fellow classmates-. But what if-." She pointed to the rest of the rule motioning for me to continue. "Even if said classmate is Sirius Black. *ultimate death glare*"

"Rule 7: um…crap I forgot-I mean no I didn't." She continued to threaten me with the accursed rolled up newspaper. "I get cookie…*smack*"

The rest of the year seemed pretty mellow aside from a couple of small things that happened. They were only minor things like me accidentally forgetting to close the leprechaun cages. It was actually entertaining to see the little guys running around causing mischief. They covered the halls with slimy goo causing everyone to slide in opposite directions. Eventually the students would just slide to class. I didn't mind it was faster that way.

Eventually the year came to an end and everyone was heading towards home. The marauders and I promised each other that we would meet up for the summer break. James said that we could all go camping together. I was excited and couldn't wait even though that was about a month away.

"So how was school? Anything interesting happened?" I wasn't sure if I should tell my aunt about Remus. In the end I decided against it.

"Yeah, a few things happened, what about you? Anything interesting happened to you and uncle?"

During are ride home my aunt ended up telling me that my uncle was off in Canada studying pixies. She was upset that he forgot about their anniversary. It was supposed to be tomorrow but he said he wasn't going to be back until next week.

"If he thinks he can sleep on the bed well he can just forget it. As a matter a fact the only place I'll let him sleep is on the porch. Oh by the way Ephraim just got back yesterday from his studies." I don't think my aunt realizes how much I despise him. Then again the way she shows my uncle affection is by hitting him.

One of my favorite stories is about how they met.

Her uncle's POV

There I was minding my own business when I notice someone following me. I turn around and there she was she looked so cute with her little pigtails. I thought she was the prettiest girl I had ever seen. So I called out to her, I figured she was probably just a little shy.

"Hey! Do you want to play with me?" I was only five at the time and she was maybe three years old. Even from our distance I could see her blushing. She looked so innocent I fell in love with her then and there.

She began to slowly make her way towards me. By the time she reached me she was the color of a tomato.

"Why are you the color red?" At the time I just thought it was an innocent question to ask on my part. Now I know I should have just run the other way. Just because I was curious she decided to kick me really hard in the shins and runs away. I felt so many things at once.

I was surprised, angry, hurt and impressed that such a little girl could kick so hard. When I told my mom she said that the girl was probably shy because she liked me.

The next time I saw her she did the same thing. I eventually got fed up grabbed her by the arm and asked why she was being so mean.

She said, "I like you," kicked me in the shins and ran away. This time around the feelings I felt were different. I was still surprised, angry and impressed. You could say our story was more of a hit and run.

As a matter a fact even in our wedding before she said, "I do," she kicked me in the shins. I think my shins are made of steel. I don't think I feel my shin anymore.

Ephraim POV

One song about a girl

I was six when I met her. At the time just thought of her as any other girl, stupid and annoying. I just didn't know how right I would be. I knew her before she came through her aunt. That woman could talk endlessly without taking a single break. The moment she found out I was about Emily's age she began to talk to me about her.

Even at a young age I have been able to tell when an adult was planning something. So it wasn't a surprise that I figured out what her aunt wanted. I could tell right away, she wanted to get us together. I didn't even know the girl and her aunt was already trying to pin her on me.

Every day it would be something new she would talk about. Emily this, Emily that I was sick of it couldn't she just leave me alone. Then the day finally came when I would meet her. I figured the reason why her aunt wanted to pin her on me was because our family was rich.

I had been in the backyard playing with a ball that I found in our basement. I saw her coming from across the yard I hoped she would just get the hint and leave me alone.

"Hi my name is Emily."I pretended to ignore her. I figured she would be smart and just leave me alone but when she wouldn't move I had no other choice but to answer.

"So," maybe if I'm mean to her she'll go away.

"You don't have to be mean about it. I was just wondering if we could play together." This girl was really dense couldn't she tell I wanted nothing to do with her. I figured I should just mess with her to teach her a lesson.

"You want to play with me?" She began to nod vigorously. She really is an idiot. This girl looked like anybody could fool her.

"Okay, we can play hide-and-seek. I'll count while you hide." She didn't even wait for me to pretend to count. I could already see her run off to go hide. What am I three I don't play hide-and seek. I figured that after twenty minutes, she would either come look for me or go home. When thirty minutes passed and she didn't come I figured she got the message. After an hour I headed inside to maybe do something. By the time it was dinner I had completely forgotten about her. I was surprised when someone came knocking on our door looking for me.

When I saw that it was the same girl from earlier I couldn't even respond. I had expected her to be a bit gullible just not a complete idiot. I couldn't help my response when she accused me of lying.

"You mean you were actually out there waiting, bloody hell. You really are a moron."I didn't wait for her response before closing the door in her face.

As time passed I became used to her. No matter what I would do she would always have that stupid goofy smile. I just didn't understand how she could be happy all the time. Even when people treated her badly she would still go out of her way to help.

Can't breathe when I'm around her

I didn't even realize until it was too late that I was falling for her. At first it seemed ridiculous when my brother brought it up. He had come home…

"Hey little bro where's your little girlfriend."

"I don't have a girlfriend."

"Okay, well your soon to be girlfriend?"

"What are you talking about?"

"That girl what's her name…Emily! That's the one."

"She's not my girlfriend besides I don't even like her."

"Yes you do."

"No I don't"

"Okay, then if you don't prove it. Don't bother her for one whole day, don't say a word don't even look at her."

"Fine, if I win I get to use your broomstick."

"Deal because it's not going to happen."

I lost the bet I hadn't even realized that I had been so focused on her until my brother mentioned it.

She had started out as some annoying little girl that would bother me every day. Always wanting to know what I was doing, every day with the same smile no matter what. I had become used to her. In a way I had depended on her cheerful self to make me feel better. There were times I couldn't take all the pressure my parents were putting on me.

Sometimes the problems felt over whelming. She had become my sanctuary. I could always count on her to cheer me up even if she didn't know it.

I wait here everyday

In case she'll scratch the surface

She'll never notice

By the time she started school I had finally realized that I was in love with her. I had wanted to find a way to tell her and make her realize that we could be good together. I was shocked when I found out she liked someone. I figured they wouldn't be a big threat I mean she had barely met them. She knew me longer than anyone else. We had grown up together it was only logical that she would end up with me. Nobody told me that when it came to logic love logic becomes useless.

I had tried to tell her how I felt but I figured it would be better to tell her when she got over her crush. I told myself that in a few months she would forget him and that's when I would tell her.

When her aunt came to our house with the news that her niece had gotten a boyfriend, I felt like someone had socked me in the stomach.

I'm not in love

This is not my heart

I'm not gonna waste these words

I tried to forget her but every girl I meant made it impossible. Without realizing it I had begun to compare the girls I would meet with Emily. Most of the girls I would meet would be too superficial. It bothered me how in my school the girls were more focused on their looks then actually doing something. It was frustrating to think that even if Emily wouldn't be the smartest she would have at least tried.

She was the first girl to ever humiliate me. She had been the first girl to have the nerve to tell me not to complain even though she had cut a good chunk of my hair. As weird as it sounds those are some of the reasons I fell for her.

About a girl

I would tell myself that she was just like any other girl; that there was nothing special about her. She's not graceful, mature, smart, nice, beautiful and has no manners. What girl can eat as much as her? If it was up to her she could probably swallow a cow in one sitting.

At the same time I was angry. Wasn't she supposed to be with me? I just couldn't understand how I could have so many girls after me but the one I want. The one girl that can't notice anything even if it hit her in the face was the only one who doesn't like me.

Last night

I knew what to say

But you weren't there to hear it

These lines are well rehearsed, tongue tied

And over loaded

You'll never notice

All I knew the guy she chose better appreciate her or I'll take her away. I don't care how long it takes but I'll get her to notice me.

Remus's POV

It was almost time for us to meet. We were all going to go camping at a cabin lodge that belongs to the Potters. They had let us use it for the summer. The Marauders and I were the first ones to arrive. We had invited a lot of people. James's parents had even invited Lily. Lily and her friend are planning on coming until tomorrow. As for Emily and Tonks they were going to be arriving sometime next week.

"I say we should play quiditch?" – James

"I say we go to the nearest town and see if they have anything." – Sirius

"I'll be staying here." – Remus

"No you're not. You are coming with us. We'll go to town first then Quiditch." – Sirius

"Deal." – James

"Besides we should have a little fun before both of you leave me to go off with the girls." – Sirius

"I understand why you would say that about Moony but why me?" – James

"Lily is coming isn't she?" - Sirius

"She but what does-. How many times do I have to tell you that I do not like Evans." - James

"The moment you stop being in denial. Actually let's make a bet if you do get married to Evans I get to be Godfather." - Sirius

"Why do you want to be Godfather?" - James

"Who else is going to teach your son to be a man?" - Sirius

*throws shoe*

"You see you're throwing a woman fit."

*throws box*

"Maybe we should go?" – Peter

"Yeah I think it's safer if we let them be."
