A/N: In upcoming chapters there will be drama, you better fasten your seatbelts for this bumpy rides my dears.

Btw. Some things in this chapter will make some (many) people want to kill me… But I truly think I will survive through this… I hope.

Chapter 33

Remus Lupin & Marlene McKinnon

Marlene McKinnon

I pull Sirius in for another kiss.

We're completely alone, for the first time in weeks.

I managed to pull him away from Dinner to the Room of Requirement.

It's Saturday and who needs dinner anyway when you could be doing something way more fun?

Sirius groans into the kiss as he lets his hands run all over my body.

I can't stifle my moans, it's been so long since we've been alone and so close like this.

"I have to go soon." He whispers out.

Mood kill alert!

I shake my head and let my tongue run over his lover lip. "No you don't," I whisper, my voice edgy as I try to sound sexy, and judging of his groans I don't fail.

"I promised Remus and James to meet them after dinner,"

I shake my head again, this time lowering my head to kiss down his neck.

I am not letting him go away from me again. No. This is my time with him!

He pulls away slightly so my lips can't reach him, wearing a sheepish smile. "I'll make it up to you," he promises and kisses my head.

MY HEAD!

"Sirius-"

But he's already gotten off the bed. "Tomorrow." He promises.

That. Is. Not. Good. Enough!

"Promise?" I manage out, my lower lip twitching and body shaking with need and anger.

"Yep." He smiles a little before heading towards the door.

"UGH!" I scream up as the door closes.

Sirius Black is a dick.

- Hunting For Happiness-

Remus Lupin

Blaire.

I got to talk to Blaire.

But Blaire hasn't talked to me since the day the prank was.

And that was three days ago.

I feel… I feel like she's hiding something from me.

But what that is I have no idea.

Maybe it's just me, maybe it's because I know there is a full moon tonight and that makes me nervous.

Maybe.

I walk to dinner with James, Peter and the Gryffindor girls – minust Marlene - but I quickly excuse myself when I spot Blaire sitting next to her friends.

I walk towards her quickly, all I can think of is that I need to get to understand what's going on.

"Blaire?" I address her from behind her "Can I have a word?"

I can visibly see her tense up, as she forces a nod, not even turning around before she stands up, excusing herself from the girls and then following me out the great hall and into a random unlocked classroom.

"You've been avoiding me," I break the silence, my eyes trying to find hers.

But her eyes avoid mine completely. "No I haven't." she says, her eyes fluttering towards the wall behind me.

"Blaire," I sigh, reaching out for her hand. "What's going on?"

Blaire looks at me for a second before looking down again. "Nothing. I've not been avoiding you Remus."

I sigh, this time a little annoyed. "You have Blaire. You haven't spoken a single word to me since the Prank thing."

As the word 'Prank' rolls of my tongue I feel her hand twitches in mine and her eyes close and then flutter wide open again.

"Blaire?"

Still nothing, she only pulls her hand from mine and closes her eyes again. "I don't have time for this Remus I have to go-"

"What are you hiding from me?" I demand, blocking her exit.

"Nothing." Blaire says, looking down at the floor.

My eyes narrow, now I'm sure there is something she's keeping from me.

"Blaire, you need to be honest with me! We haven't talked for days and you're keeping something away from me. Don't add a lie on top of that list-"

"I have to go!" Blaire splutters out, pushing me out of the way and then running out the doors faster than I can say 'Quidditch'.

My eyes narrow as I stare after her, until she vanishes from my view.

If there is something I really don't stand, it's being lied to.

Marlene McKinnon.

I sigh from my seat next to Mary in the Common Room.

Sirius, James, Peter and Remus are all sitting together in the other end of the room, sitting so close to each other that they could almost be sitting on each other - whispering words to each other that clearly no one else are supposed to hear.

"Why are you sighing?" Mary asks from beside me, she's just finishing painting her toenails green.

"In a Slytherin mood are you?" I ask with a little smile.

"Green is pretty, that's all." Mary shrugs.

I laugh, but my laughter is cut short when I see where Sirius, James, Remus and Peter all stand up and head outside the portrait.

My eyebrows raise slightly, I can't help but feeling curious about what the hell they are doing, which is more important to Sirius than me.

"I .." I trail off.

I really can't do this.

I have to do this.

"I'll be right back," I tell Mary with haste and then stand up, following the four boys out the portrait, but carefully making sure they don't notice me.

I faintly see their figures, because they are walking really slowly in a direction that seems to lead for the big doors that lead to outside.

I walk slowly after them, loosing them from my sight after few minutes.

I keep heading for the doors and finally reach them.

I look around, knowing it's past our curfew and we're not allowed to go outside, but no one seems to be around.

I have to know.

I slip out the doors.

I look around again and that's when I see him - Sirius.

But I don't see James or Remus or Peter anywhere. Just Sirius.

But before I can do anything I'm forced to I freeze in my steps when I hear a girlish laughter behind me.

"Marlene!"

Shoot.

I turn around to see Alice standing behind me, next to her stands a smiling Frank.

"What are you doing out?" Alice asks, placing her hands on her hips.

"What are you?" I ask, my eyebrows rising.

"I'm doing rounds." Alice says, her eyes narrowing. "It's past your curfew Marlene." She sighs, turning to Frank "I'm gonna escort Marley back, I'll catch up with you later Frank."

I'm not about to obey but do the mistake of looking into Alice's stern eyes and sigh "Alright."

I look over my shoulder for Sirius, but I can't spot him anywhere.

Now I just need to know what's going on.

- - Hunting For Happiness -

The clock is almost four a.m. But I can't sleep.

I can't stop wondering where the heck Sirius was doing… alone… outside…

Have I been right all this time? Is he really cheating on me?

My thoughts are driving me crazy, so I decided to just get up.

I slip into my slippers and walk back down the stairs that lead to the Common Room, but before I step on the last step, I see the Fat Lady Portrait open up.

And Sirius Black himself enters the room.

I take a step back, so I'm covered in shadows and Sirius can't see me.

My breath gets stuck in my throat as I stare at him.

His hair is ruffled, his shirt is missing few buttons and hangs loosely around his chest, his fly is undone and his chest is glittering with sweat.

This can't be happening. I think to myself. No. This is all a dream. I'm not right. I can't be right.

My head starts spinning and I do the only thing I can think of doing and turn around and run back up the stairs and into my dormitory and then throw my self on my bed, my heart beating faster than ever in my chest.

- Hunting For Happiness -

The next morning I wake up, my limbs are tangled in the sheets and my forehead is wet with sweat.

My dreams were all filled with nightmares.

All involving Sirius and several girls and broom closets, beds or forests.

I sit up - my head is throbbing from headaches.

I shake my head, trying to shake all thoughts away.

Alice's, Lily's and Emmeline's beds are empty but Mary lays still sleeping in hers.

I think about waking her and telling her what I saw yesterday but decide not to, I don't really want to relive all that.

Instead I decide to go down for breakfast and pull on my rope over my pajamas.

Half way to the Great Hall I realize I didn't even put on any makeup or do my hair before leaving the tower.

I can't go looking like a troll to breakfast, I tell my self and head for the girl lavatories instead.

I walk up to the nearest mirror and point my wand to my hair and watch as it untangles it self slowly.

When my hair is smooth and falling straight down my back I point my wand to my eyes.

I'm maybe not the best at Charms or Potions but I do rock at beauty-magic.

My eyelashes start growing longer and darker and my lips turn glossy and pink.

"Come in here, I really hope its empty-" a voice makes me stop, I know this voice too well: Veronica Smethley.

And judging by her tone she has some gossip to share with who ever is with her.

Just out of instinct I jump into the nearest toilet booth and close the doors, my ears perking up to hear what Veronica has to share with her friend.

"What do you want to tell me?" a girlish voice I recon belongs to Bethany Davies responds to Veronica's sentence.

There is a small silence.

"I shagged Black last night." Veronica says in a hushed voice but loud enough for me to hear.

I drop my wand on the floor and stand frozen behind the locked doors.

..

I was right.

…

The next thing I know I'm pulling Adam Smethley into an empty Broom closet and he's kissing down my neck.
