After Remus' and my talk, we went straight back to the common room, got in our Pjs and read on the couch for hours. It was the best possible way to end one of the worst days ever. And let me tell you, I was still furious.
The next day at breakfast, James looked at me and said the most smartest thing that has ever left his mouth.
"Makes you feel like revenge, huh?"
I stared at him with wide eyes.
"Yeah. It really does."
"Well, shit James." Sirius said, taking in the evil glint in my eyes, "Look what you did. Now we're going to have to help her come up with some master plan."
"Actually, I'm pretty sure I know exactly what I'm going to do." I grinned, and I swear I saw a small, proud smile on Remus' face.

********

It was a few hours until our Hogsmead trip was going to begin. I had told all my friends my plan at breakfast, and by the end it had all ready been put into action.
See, they were going to give Regulas the worst possible day ever. The plan was to pull as many small pranks as possible, leaving him confused and frustrated. And not wanting to leave the castle.
Sirius had gone off to work some magic on Regulas's room.
The first step was to, well, give him a little morning shock. James sneakily went over to the Slytherines table and waited until no one was looking and dumped a generous and quite a surprising amount of salt into Regulas' cup of pumpkin juice and then a rather large amount of sleeping potion into his tea. Let's just say he was in for a long nap.
After James returned to us, we all waited for some noise to come from the Slytherine table and sure enough we heard, "What in the Godric! This is disgusting!"
We all turned in time to see him gulp down his tea, trying to get the taste out of his mouth. After draining that, he placed his cup back on the table and within seconds looked a little tired.
"Guys, I'm not feeling to good..." We heard him say as he placed a hand on his head. "I think I'll go back to bed for awhile." He slowly made his way out of the great hall, stumbling every few steps.
A few minutes later, we had all joined Sirius outside the Slytherine common room.
"Everything's in place?" I asked Sirius, tapping my foot. We were all leaning on the wall in a line, waiting for something- anything to happen. Every so often, a student would come from the portrait, giving us a dirty look when they passed.
"You would think one of them would be nice enough to shoot us a smile..." Remus grumbled as a particularly nasty glare was aimed in our direction.
After waiting about 20 minutes, we heard quick paced foot steps walking down the hall.
A professor I've never seen before rushed passed, muttering a password and flying through the portrait door. A few Slytherines walked out and I only caught snippets of their conversation.
"...tripped over his own two feet-"
"...finally lost it-"
"...going anywhere for awhile-"
After they passed by, I looked at my friends.
"Well. Mission accomplished." I said.
"Do you think we over did it?" James asked, glancing at each of us. Silence.
Then we all laughed, loudly and completely.
Remus leaned over and rested his forehead against the side of my head, nose just brushing my ear.
"Know we're free to enjoy or day without worrying about him ruining it for us." He whispered, just for us.

Remus and I stood hand and hand, looking around at all the shops around us, trying to decide where to go first.
"Honeydukes? You always want to go there first." He suggested.
"Uh, maybe not this time... I don't have brilliant memories there, really..." I said, remembering what happened the last time I went. An involuntary shiver went down my spine, and Remus squeezed my hand.
" Sorry... I forgot... We can just go somewhere else."
" Three Broomsticks? " I asked, already pulling him in that direction.
It was still cold out as it was the last day of February. I could see my breath dancing in the air, melding some with Remus'.
Once we reached the door to the shop, he looked down at me and smiled.
"You nose looks so cold." He said, reaching up his hands and tugging down on my navy blue hat.
He was inches away, smiling at me with his handsome face. My heart raced and butterflies played in my stomach. I grinned back, looking into his chocolate brown eyes. He leaned down, brushing a soft as air kiss on the very tip of my nose. As soon as his lips touched my skin, I felt as if I'd melt, then and there.
I thought crossed my mind. I opened my mouth, and said "I..." I fell silent. He had always said it. I had yet to speak about how I felt.
" Yes?" He asked, curiosity in his expression.
" I'm... I'm in love..." I murmured, staring deep in his eyes.
" Me too." He grinned, seeming slightly surprised I said it then.
"Remus..." I trailed off. After getting together, I'd nearly completely dropped his nic-name, Remus just sounded so brilliant. He gave me a confused look, clearly wondering what else I had to say.
" I'm absolutely... Freezing!" I laughed, and reached for the door.
He chuckled and just followed me inside.

The trip had ended too soon. Before I knew it, we were back at the castle.
Once we were back at the castle and in the warmth and safety of the common room, it had gotten late.
Remus and I said our good nights, with a few snide remarks from our friends around us.
I walked to my dormitory, removing my hat and jacket. Once I opened the door, I looked around, feeling like something was off, something wasn't right.
And I found the problem, sitting on my bed, looking innocent. A single, small piece of parchment, resting on my pillow, only one word written on its rough surface.
Soon.
