(A/N): Hey Guys! So, I'm writing this chapter in PLP (don't worry, I already finished my work), but I still have to type it into the Document editer thing-y, so forgive me for any spelling mistakes, spell check doesn't cooperate very well.
Disclaimer: I own nothing you recognise.

By the time I returned to the Room of Requirement, James, Sirius and Peter had gone, and Remus and Elaine looked up as I reentered.
"What was all that about?" Elaine asked, a strange sort of look on her face, and I shrugged as I sunk back into my seat.
"Stuff." I told her, in a tone that meant 'drop it'. Of course, Elaine being Elaine, didn't like being told to drop it.
"What stuff?" She asked, narrowing her eyes at me, and with a glance at Remus I realised he was doing a poor imitation of the same expression.
"Stuff with Brooke stuff." I said weakly, not really sure how to explain it without it automatically leading to something bad.
"Anything you need to tell us?" Remus asked, his simple question clearly laced with double meaning, and I shrugged.
"Probably. Did you know I'm not the only Veela hybrid at the school?" Their eyebrows shot up, Remus's less so.
"I guess it makes sense... I mean, if there's going to be two abnormal people, there's probably going to be more, right?" I nodded, and Elaine's forehead creased.
"Who?" I shook my head furiously.
"I can't tell you that." She glared at me, but Remus placed a hand on her shoulder comfortingly.
"I'm just going to take a shot in the dark here and say that you made a promise." Remus guessed, and I nodded, smiling slightly.
"I don't break my promises, especially to someone with so much blackmail on me." Elaine raised an eyebrow.
"Who has more blackmail on you than us?" I shrugged, looking unsure, biting my lip.
"The other veela hybrid." Remus nodded slowly, thoughtfully.
"So there's only one other Veela hybrid?" He asked, and I thought about it for a second, trying to remember if I had heard, or smelt anything to indicate otherwise.
"That I know of, yeah." Elaine nodded, looking a little hurt.
"It's Brooke, isn't it." It was mroe of a statement than a question, and I forced myself to look incredulous.
"Brooke?! God no!" I pretended to look a little offended, and they both looked surprised.
"I have to admit, that's what I was leaning towards..." Remus muttered, looking sheepish with wide eyes.
"I was not expecting that." Elaine said, sounding a little antsy to be honest.
"Besides, that wasn't an invitation to guess who it is you guys!" Remus shrugged, and Elaine smiled slightly.
"Fine, fine, we'll stop..." She leaned over, moving to rest a hand on my shoulder, but I flinched away. "Why do you keep doing that?" I looked her dead in the eye and shrugged.
"Now that, that was partially Brooke." I went to stand up, but Remus surged forward, grabbing me and pushing me back into the chair.
"Only three days till the full moon." He reminded me. Three days before the full moon was when he was at his strongest, physically. Tomorrow, he'd be weak, the next day even weaker. The day after that? So weak he could barely stand.
I went to stand up again and he tried to push me down. I rivaled his strength exactly, measuring just how strong he was.
Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and I smiled before simply pushing him out of the way, pleased that I was still stronger than him even at his peak.
"Yeah, well, if the macho-man fight is over, can we get back to business here?" Elaine asked dryly, one eyebrow raised at me as Remus lay on his back on the cold ground at her feet, staring up at me.
"You weren't as strong as that last year." He pointed out, and I shrugged.
"And I wasn't that strong the year before either. I'm still growing Remmy." His eyes widened, he knew what I meant.
I would only get stronger and stronger, and I could already beat him in a fight, wolf-form or no.
"Besides," I said, a grin blooming. "I train with vampires, remember?"
(A/N): So, what did you think?
I may get another chapter in before lunch, maybe.
