It was the beginning of december andevery group was managing the project how they could.
Remus and Emmeline were trying very hard to stay focused and not being bothered by their personal life's and feelings. How did it went? Very very bad.
-Can we talk please?- He said while they were heading to class, their friends had enough of that and every time there was a lesson they would run away and leave them alone, it became uncomfortable.
-About what? I think we agreed that we're going to analyse the Witch Hunts- She tried to change the subject since she knew what it was coming.
-You know Em, about us- He turn to her and took her hand -Haven't you noticed that it's making our friend uncomfortable at the point where they don't hang out if both of us are there?-
-Well maybe you shoud've done something, don't you think?-
-And you should not?-
-I did, I did sent you a lot of signs this summer and in september-
-You could've kissed me at the party-
-It's called consent and respect Remus, I didn't know if you were okay with that-
-I was, dam I definitely was, and I regret not doing that a lot, trust me-
-You had other occasions, why didn't you-
And he kissed her, finally, she felt his hands on her wrist and his smile on her lips.
-Mrs. Vance and Mr. Lupin, detention, you were late, stay after class.-
They sat in the only free place and started working on their project. Lily tried to speak with Emmeline but there wasn't any occasion while the marauders understood immediately what happened.
-So, this witch hunt? Are we beginning the project?- he made fun of her while she was trying to focus.
-Shut up, I'm looking for my book-
-You mean the book that's already on the desk?-
-Shut up, I'm not concentrating now-
-Why aren't you concentrating? Something in your mind?-
-Shut up-
It was evening and the fifth year was relaxing on the sofas, Lily was playing with Marlene's hair, James and Sirius were planning the next prank and everybody was just there to relax. They all froze when they hear a laugh, Emmeline's laugh, she was laughing with Remus.
-Everything's fine Em?- James said
-Oh yeah- She looked at Remus -He's being silly, he keeps making fun of me-
-Shut up, I'm not- He insisted and then sat on the floor
-Something happened- Lily said
-No it didn't- Emmeline denied
-It wasn't a question-
They looked uncomfortable, what could they say? They've been acting like that all day but never spoke or decided what they were. Remus started feeling the floor not so comfortable anymore so he decided to stand up and go to his room, Emmeline looked at the others and went to her room as well.
The next morning at breakfast the usual uncomfortable athmosphere was there, Lily thought she did something but when she confronted Marlene was reashured that she didn't do anything. James and Sirius tryied to talk to Remus but he just sat on the bed and without talking, they didn't know that he woke up to Peter at night to vent to him about what happened.
