Some time has passed since my discussion with Remus and I'd done a lot of thinking. Remus had gathered a lot of courage to tell me what he feels. And, well, lets just say I have a thing for guys who have a thing for me. I just new I had taken enough time to decide what I wanted. I wanted Remus. It was now February and I was getting ready to spend a depressing Valentines day alone, even though I knew I didn't want to. Remus and I have only had a few awkward conversations, none of which included making progress in our relationship. We didn't even hang out anymore. The best I could hope for was a breakfast where he was at least sitting at the same table as me. I was missing best friend, and all the marauders. And I really needed to plan what I was going to Remus before I jumped into conversation.
I woke up the morning of Valentines day cold. It happened to be a Sunday, so it was convenient that all the happy couples could spend all day together. Joy.
I dragged myself from my bed and quickly got dressed in a pair of black skinny jeans, a big, grey, wool sweater and matching boots. I ran a brush through my hair, but just left it down. I didn't quite have the energy to actually do anything to it.
As I walked into the common room, I could already tell that I was going to hate today. The ceiling had pink and red hearts hanging from it and there was small pink sparks flying around the room. Also, from where I was standing, I could already three couples snogging. Great.
I hurried to leave the room, since I felt like I was interrupting something important.
As soon as I stepped out into the corridor and the portrait door closed behind me, I was visited by a ghost that usually hangs out outside our potions class.
She was beautiful despite the fact that she was dead. She had long hair and was wearing a gorgeous flowing dress. At first I thought she had she had the wrong person, but then she asked, "are you miss Elektra Varner Bell?" I nodded my head suspiciously and she said, " then follow me."
I was hesitant to follow at first, but when it seemed that she didn't really mind if I followed or not and just kept moving, I let my curiousity take over and I began to walk behind her. I had no idea where we were going, but I decided that since I had nothing better to do, I. Might as well go along for the the ride.
After walking for almost ten minutes, going down 8 flights of stairs, we finally approached a wooden door in a deserted hallway.
"what are we doing here?" I asked the ghost.
"inside, you will find something you have lost."
i had a couple guesses about what lay behind the mysterious door, like maybe a jerk trying to make up for what he's done to me, maybe a best friend who I owe an honest, heartfelt speech.
Either way, after I watched the ghost drift away from me, I turned the handle and took a step inside.
*Regulas' P.O.V.*
I had been planning this for awhile now. I did my best to calm my nerves before I set to work. I knew this was going to be difficult, and people probably weren't going to like this, but my friends thought it was a good idea, so I was going to go through with it. I took a deep breath and opened the door, preparing myself for my master plan.
*Elektra's P.O.V.*
I walked Down a long, stone hallway, amazed at what I was seeing. There was paper hanging from the ceiling, some cut into the shape of hearts some just had writing. I walked over to one of the papers and read what it said,
"Everyone says you only fall in love once, but that's not true because every time I see you, I fall in love all over again.".
It was like I could feel my heart melting with each word. I have never seen anything so sweet and romantic before in my life. Never in A million years did I believe Was the type of sappy girl who has a sucker for romance. In quickly walked over to another note and read it.
"There's only 1 thing
2 do
3 words
4 you.
I love you"
I hurried forward and quickly grabbed yet another page.
"People build up walls, not to keep people out, but to see who cares enough to break them down."
I was done with reading notes. I wanted to see who wrote these wonderful words, so they can tell me how they feel to my face. It was the last test. The confidence test. If a guy can't tell me how they feel with me standing in front of them, then it's a relationship not worth getting into.
I rushed down the hall and ended up in front of a dark red curtain. Hanging right in front of the curtain was one last note,
"I'm amazed when I look at you. Not because of looks, but because everything I've ever wanted is right in front of me."
I stood there for a few seconds, holding the parchment in my hand. I took a deep breath, reached out my hand and pulled back the curtain. The first thing I noticed was the red flower petals on the floor, their deep red matching the curtain. The second thing I noticed was the person standing in the middle of the room holding a bouquet of the same dark red flowers.
Remus.
