AUTHORS NOTE: Okay, so I do realize that this chapter is definitely not the best. More of a filler.
CHAPER 7
REMUS'S POINT OF VIEW
On the way to dinner, I was thinking about the events that had happened so far that day. I had been under the impression that Sirius and Lizzie had been secretly dating and that was why he snuck up to her room every night the past week. Oh how wrong I was. Then I thought of how Sirius and Lizzie had kissed in the middle of the street. I would have loved to have been in his place, with the beautiful girl pressed up against me snogging. Then when she stayed behind just to find out what was wrong with me in the Shrieking Shack.
I had to admit, although I had been upset, I had liked the way she shoved me against the wall and stood pressed against me, even if it was just so she could question me about what was wrong. I could imagine the way it would feel to hold her in my arms, kissing her. I wanted to claim her as my own so badly, but I knew I couldn't do that to Sirius. Best friends just didn't do that to each other.
"Don't you dare go quiet again." Lizzie said when we were half way up to the castle. I didn't say anything and within a few seconds, she'd tackled me onto the ground. That was one of the many thinks I liked about her. She wouldn't stop trying to cheer someone up until they were genuinely happy. I was on my back and she was on top of me, sitting on my stomach.
"You're not getting up until you convince me that your happy." she said. I gave her a half grin, but she knew me well enough to know it was forced. We may have only been friends for a few weeks, but that girl knew me on a level slightly better than even James, Sirius, and Peter. We had spent one night in the Astronomy tower talking until it started getting daylight. Needless to say we both had a problem trying to stay awake in class that day.
We sat there like that until the other three appeared half an hour later. I knew we had just missed dinner because Sirius wouldn't leave until it was all over.
"What do we have here?" Sirius asked, laughing. I could tell by looking in his eyes that he was hoping there was nothing going on between Lizzie and I. even if she didn't think so, Sirius was crazy about that girl. I could tell by the way he watched her and the way he acted if he saw other guys talking to her.
"Moony won't cheer up and I said I wouldn't get off him til he was cheerful again." Lizzie replied.
"Well for one thing, your sitting on the wrong place to make a guy happy." Sirius said. I could feel my face turn red and Lizzie suddenly jumped off me and tackled Sirius onto the snowy ground. They started rolling around, her hitting him and him trying to block the hits while neither one of them wanted to be the one touching the snow. I stood up and suddenly felt the coldness. The snow had melted while I was laying on it so long. Lizzie soon gave up and stood up. There was snow in her black hair and snow had melted onto her clothes. She was soaked. We all ran up to the common room.
"Wait, you said I shouldn't be alone, and I have to go shower and put dry clothes, and none of you are going to be there when I shower." Lizzie said.
"Easy, Peter can go in his rat form with you to get some clothes and you come back here and shower." James said. Lizzie looked deadpanned but did as he said. When she came up to our dorm a few minutes later, she had her clothes in a bag so no one would know what she had with her. Sirius, James, and Peter disappeared to the kitchen to get some desert.
"Shit." She mumbled.
"What?" I asked.
"Well I grabbed normal clothes, but nothing to sleep in, and Claire has a habit of locking the door when she wants to sleep, and she normally sound proofs it so no one can bother her, and she was going in there to sleep when I left." Lizzie said.
"Um… the only think I can do for you is let you wear some of my clothes to sleep in." I said. "Go through the drawers if you want." She took me up on the offer and disappeared into the bathroom without letting me see what she took. I heard the water run and started shivering. I knew it was important for me to get out of my wet clothes but I didn't see the use in putting more on since I was going to get a shower as soon as she was out.
The water shut off a few minutes later. A couple of minutes she stuck her head out.
"Remus, can you bring me my bag?" she asked. I grabbed it and walked over to the door. She had left it cracked.
"Here." I said.
"You can come in. you're not going to see anything." She replied. I walked in and saw she was wrapped up in a fluffy white towel. I didn't know if she knew she was basically torturing me or not. I wanted to pull the towel off her and get her in bed so badly. I knew I was going to have to do some major damage control while I was in the shower.
She went through the bag and produced SEVERAL bottles of fire whisky. Enough for us all to get drunk on it.
"THIS is for tonight when they come back. Just thought you should know because I'm gonna get a head start on it." She said.
"Shouldn't you get dressed first?" I asked.
"Yeah, but I figured you might want a heads up a few minutes before I started on it." She replied. I walked out of the bathroom and shut the door so she could get dressed. She walked out a couple of minutes later.
She was wearing a pair of my boxers and the smallest shirt I had, which was still a little baggy on her, but it had been tight on me. She had put all the fire whisky back in her bag and sat on my bed. I gathered some clothes and took a hot shower.
When I walked out, she was still sitting on my bed drinking. I could tell she wasn't anywhere near drunk though. She patted the bed beside her.
"It's no fun drinking alone." She pouted. I sat on my bed with her and she handed me a bottle of it.
Not to long into our drinking venture, the other three came back. Soon we were all drinking. I drank slow, not really wanting to get drunk this close to Lizzie. Sirius, James, and Peter were far from drunk half an hour later while Lizzie was completely drunk. Then again, she'd had quiet a bit of a head start on them. She finished another bottle and sat it in the floor before turning to me.
"Moony." she said. I glanced at her. She crawled onto my lap since I had been sitting Indian style on the bed.
"Lizzie, I don't think this is the best way for you to si-" she cut me off by kissing me. Being that I was a werewolf, I was more hormonal than MOST boys my age. True, there were ones like Sirius that acted like he'd die if he wasn't in bed with some girl at least once a week, but this was nothing compared to him. I had always kept it under control and no one would have ever guessed I was like that, but I could feel my control slipping through my fingers.
Soon we were a full makeout. I knew it had to stop as much as I wanted it to go further. I just couldn't do that to Sirius, especially with him in the room with us.
"Lizzie…stop…" I said.
"Why? It's fun." she asked.
"Because if it goes on to much longer, I wont stop." I replied truthfully.
"Awwwwww." she pouted.
"And you're drunk and probably wouldn't remember any of this in the morning." I pointed out.
"Pweeeeease?" she begged, giving me puppy dog eyes. I looked to the others where they were seated beside the window.
"Help." I mouthed, making sure she didn't see it. James laughed and shook his head, Sirius laughed, and Peter just shook his head.
"Lizzie, you need some sleep. We will in the morning." I said gently.
"But I NEED you NOW." she whined. I glared at the others. Sirius walked over and I thought he was going to help but I was far from being right. He handed me something.
"Be careful." he said. I looked at what he'd shoved into my hand and blushed.
"Padfoot, we're not going to." I whispered.
"Pwease, Moony?" she asked, pleading again.
"NO, Lizzie." I replied. She stood up and made her way to the door although she couldn't walk well.
"Where are you going? You know Padfoot didn't want you going anywhere by yourself." I asked.
"Sirius can go suck one." She said before walking out. I sat there, knowing I should go get her, but I stayed in my position on my bed.
"Well you just missed your chance." Sirius said. We all put the rest of the fire whisky (still more than enough for the five of us to get drunk another day) in the bathroom cabinet so no one would ever find it. Right before we went to bed, Lizzie stumbled back through the door.
"Where did you go?" Sirius asked.
"My dorm. Claire was a bitch and wouldn't open the door." she whined.
"Well I guess you're bunking with one of us tonight." James said. I prayed she'd pick one of them.
"I'm sleeping with the big bad wolf." she said before getting into my bed. I looked at the guys, silently pleading for help.
"How about you sleep with me tonight? He kicks in his sleep." James said. She followed him to his bed but came back as soon as he stripped to his boxers and got under his blanket.
"I wanna sleep with someone that wears pants." she said. I deadpanned. That left Peter and I, and Peter wasn't going to let her share with him. She climbed into my bed. I stayed by the window.
"Come here wolfy wolfy." she said. I followed her order and climbed into bed with her, pulling my shirt off but leaving my basketball shorts on. She cuddled up to me and put her head on my chest.
"Sing for me." She said.
"If I don't say this now I will surely break
Head's down, leaning
The words I wanna say
Forgive the urgency but hurry up and wait
My heart has started to separate
Oh oh, be my baby
Oh oh
Oh oh be my baby
I'll look after you
There now
Steady love
So few come and don't go
Will you want to
Be the one I always love
When I'm losing all control
This head, it spins around
You're the only one who knows
The sun went down
Oh oh be my baby
Oh oh
Oh oh be my baby
I'll look after you
And I'll look after you
If ever there was a doubt
I love to leave unto me
Its mostly sure it counts
It says old fashioned really
Oh oh be my baby
I'll look after you, after you
Oh oh by my baby
Oh oh
Its always have and never hold
But you've begun to feel like home
Whats mine is yours to leave or take
What's mine is yours to make your own
Oh oh be my baby
Oh oh
Oh oh be my baby
Oh oh
Oh oh be my baby
Oh oh
Oh oh be my baby
Oh oh" I had sang one of my favorite muggle songs, Look After You by The Fray. I had been hoping it would make her sleep, but she was still wide awake.
"Wow Moony, you can really sing." they all said. I blushed. She kissed me.
"Sing another song." She said, making her eyes get big. I sighed but did as she said.
"The stars lean down to kiss you
And I lie awake and miss you
Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere
Cuz I'll doze off safe and soundly
But I'll miss your arms around
I'd send a postcard to you dear
Because darling I wish you were here
I'll watch the night turn light blue
But its not the same without you
Because it takes two to whisper quietly
The silence isn't so bad
Til I look at my hands and feel sad
Cuz the spaces between my fingers
Are right where yours fit perfectly
I'll find the pose in new ways
Though I havent slept in two days
Because cold nostalgia chills me to the bone
But drenched in vanilla twilight
Ill sit on the front porch all night
waist deep in thought
Because when I think of you
I don't feel so alone
I don't feel so alone
I don't feel so alone
As many times as I blink
I'll think of you tonight
I'll think of you tonight
When violet eyes get brighter
And heavy wings grow lighter
I'll taste the sky and feel alive again
And I'll forget the world that I knew
But I swear I won't forget you
Oh if my voice could reach back through the past
And whisper in your ear
Oh darling I wish you were here" Once again, a muggle song. Vanilla Twilight by Owl City. She was still awake, but she was yawning.
"I love you Moony." Lizzie said.
"Love you to." I replied. We fell asleep quickly.
