(A/N): Hey Guys! So, the next chapter I haven't finished yet, but I promise it will be uploaded tonight.
Disclaimer: I own nothing you recognise.
Elaine
I froze as James left the room, registering what had just said.
Turning to Remus, I gaped at him.
"You- You have a crush on me?" He winced at the question, shrugging weakly.
"Maybe?" I glared, grabbing him by the shirt again.
"Tell me the truth, Remus." He hesitated for a second, staring at me warily.
"I really, really like you." I released him, sighing deeply.
"Remus-" He cut me off, resting a hand on my shoulder.
"I know that what we just did was your way of getting back at Leo, I do." He said, his eyes showing pain. "But that's not what it was for me. It's just a stupid, silly crush- forbidden fruit, remember?" I nodded, wanting to believe him. "You're one of my best friends- and the girl my best friend's in love with, Elaine. I didn't want to lose either of you over my infatuation." He explained, and I watched him for a minute.
"How long?" He shrugged, biting his lip.
"Since about halfway through second year." I let out a disbelieving sigh. "I'm sorry." I shook my head.
"You don't have to apologise Remus. I can't understand how hard it must have been for you to watch me chasing after Leo all this time-" He cocked an eyebrow.
"I think you can." Reluctantly, I nodded.
"I've done the same thing Leo did with me though. I gave you hope, and now I'm dashing it." He hung his head, and I awkwardly patted his hair.
"I understand Elaine," He said, raising his head again. "You're in love with Leo, and he loves you too. I never had that higher hopes for us- ever. Let's just- forget it ever happened, yeah?" Hesitantly, I nodded.
"Yeah."
(A/N): So, what did you think?
Och, that's gotta hurt.
