(A/N): Hey Guys! So, two chapters in one night huh? Pretty cool yeah? Okay, so, this chapter should actually be called 'the chapter with so many line breaks it's practically dotted'. Get it? Okay, so the title should become clear by the end of the chapter. Thanks to all my reviewers, and the readers who aren't reviewing!
I started this story in 2012. I was fourteen. Its been almost ten years. If you don't like something in the early chapters, it's not going to suddenly change ten years after I wrote it. If you're going to review this story with criticisms, please log in so I can actually reply to you and not have to leave messages like this in chapters so you might actually see it. And if you're just going to bash the story for being inaccurate, again, please remember that I was fourteen, I wasn't born in the 1960's, and I have never been outside of Australia. And some things are inaccurate because that's what people in that time period thought- not necessarily what I think, or know today.
Disclaimer: I own nothing but Leo, Elaine, Nicholai and Quiggly.
Elaine
I wanted to help Remus, but I also wanted to help myself. I had spent my life so far being prejudiced against those different from me, primarily Vampires and Werewolves, two of which were now my best friends. I wanted to make up for it, I wanted to make up for any bad thought I'd had about their kinds, because it really wasn't their faults. Remus was bitten, and Leo was born like it, and I couldn't hold that against them, now could I?
"Word of warning: Don't get stabbed in Animagus form." Remus said tiredly, and I snickered.
"Well that isn't the most obvious thing I've heard all night." Leo stated, and even he sounded tired.
"What time is it anyway?" I asked with a yawn, and Leo went to check his watch, his eyes widening.
"Six o' clock." Remus and I sat bolt upright, staring at him.
"Oh god no!" We cried at the same time, and I slammed my head onto the table once or twice before glaring at the ceiling.
"You just love to hurt me, don't you?" I asked no one, and Leo stared at me amusedly.
"Come on, we should go down for breakfast. I'll even show you how to get to the kitchens so we can have as much coffee as we want." I grinned at him tiredly, and Remus raised an eyebrow.
"You know where the kitchens are?" Leo looked over his shoulder to roll his eyes.
"Of course I know where the kitchens are. By the way, neither of you have asked me what I do for food." Remus and I glanced at each other before wincing slightly.
"What do you do for food then, Blue?" Remus asked, and Leo smiled slightly.
"Mainly raw steak, and every week I have to go to the Hospital wing to drink a vial of human blood." I shivered slightly, and his smile dropped slightly, but he tried not to make it obvious.
"I've never had blood directly from the human though. Hell, the only reason I do have it is so that I don't feel the temptation as much." I tried to hold back another shiver, but I knew Leo could sense it when he winced slightly.
"It isn't that bad, really. At least you don't turn into a raving monster every full moon and try to kill everyone in sight." Remus grumbled, and Leo smiled at him slightly.
"You really know how to cheer a guy up Moony." And with that, we were off to the kitchens for breakfast.
Lily
When I woke up to get ready for a day at school, I immediately became worried. Elaine's bed was empty, and even though she was an early riser, she usually either waited for me to wake up or woke me up herself before we headed down to breakfast together, but her bed was empty, and already made, just as it had been last night. Something wasn't right.
"Alice, did you see Elaine get up?" I asked the petite girl who was getting ready on the other side of the room, who shrugged.
"Nope, she was gone when I woke up." I furrowed my eyebrows before throwing back the covers to start getting ready.
Not twenty minutes later, I was at the door to Leo's dorm, staring a half naked James Potter in the face. He was wearing pants, but nothing else, and I refused to blush at the sight.
"Is Leo or Remus in there?" Potter's eyebrows furrowed, and he rubbed his head, not through wanting to mess up his hair, but because he was still half-asleep, before turning around, searching the room for the two boys I had mentioned.
"Nooo..." He stretched out the word as he yawned. "I don't think they came in last night, their beds are still made, and usually Leo leaves that until after breakfast, when he comes back here to pick up his bag." He turned to look behind him again. "That's not here either. Maybe they've been kidnapped." He mumbled before turning around, walking back to his bed and flopping down on it face first, already snoring loudly. I rolled my eyes, more than slightly amused, before closing the door quietly and heading down to the Great hall for breakfast, still worried about my friends.
Entering the Great hall, I sat down at the Gryffindor table, searching for the three with my eyes. They weren't there, and I was starting to get really worried. Okay, so where could they be?
"Hey Lils." Well, I guess there's that question answered. Leo sat down next to me, and he looked really tired. In fact, so did Elaine and Remus, who had sat down across from us.
"Morning. So, why didn't you three come to bed last night?" They raised their eyebrows at us.
"No offense Lils, but you aren't my mother. Thank god." He muttered the last bit under his breath, and I was a little taken-aback. Leo had never been so grumpy in the morning, it was like, his favourite time of the day. I didn't take it to heart though, once again noticing how tired they all looked.
"Fine, don't tell me. I was just worried about you three, that's all." Leo's gaze softened slightly, and he grabbed my hand under the table, not looking at me as to not draw attention. I smiled slightly before starting to eat my food before looking up, realising that the other three weren't eating.
"Why aren't you eating?" I asked curiously, and they shrugged.
"We already ate." I raised an eyebrow, but let it drop, not wanting to start a fight over such trivial matters as when they had breakfast.
"So...did you have a good time in the Library?" Remus spat out the coffee he had been drinking, and started coughing, only to have Elaine roll her eyes and smack him on the back, hard.
"It went well." Leo said nonchalantly, and I knew he was lying. It was kind of obvious, especially after Remus had just spat his coffee all over the table.
"Scourgify." Elaine muttered, and the coffee was immediately cleaned off the table with a flick of her wand. "We didn't quite find the information we wanted, so we had to pull an all-nighter, hiding from Madam Pince the whole time." She explained, rolling her eyes slightly.
"For someone so young, she acts so old." Leo commented, and Remus almost spat out his coffee again, this time in amusement.
"Wait, how did you know we didn't come back last night?" Remus asked, suddenly serious.
"Well, I asked Alice about Elaine, seeing as she was up before me and, well...I may have asked Potter whether you two had returned last night." I could see Leo was trying to hold back laughter, so I smacked him lightly on the shoulder. "He was half-asleep, and when he stopped talking to me, he turned around, feel back on his bed and fell asleep instantly." Remus's eyebrows furrowed.
"Was that the bed closest to the door?" I nodded, curious as to what he was getting at, and Remus groaned while Leo started laughing outright.
"Ugh, that's my bed!"
(A/N): So, along with chocolate, Remus seems to have developed a love for tacos and coffee in this story. He is a seriously unhealthy young man, isn't he?
