Well then I guess that’s a little redeeming. Just a little. Yeah, she’s vicious. It’s been a while since it happened though, so I’m feeling much better. Almost back to normal, don’t you worry. Oh, feel better! I think Madam Pomfrey has some Pepper-up Potion if you need a pick-me-up. Supposedly they work amazingly for getting rid of a cold.
A little is better than none, though, right? Well, good. But I swear if she starts bothering you again… Although it seems she’s not the only one attacking people around here. Verbally attacking, anyway… Yeah, thanks. I’ll probably visit her in a day or two. Maybe rest a bit in the hospital wing. That always seems to do the trick, anyway.
Yes, they can be quite nerve-racking. Being a fifth year, I’ve never taken them before, so it’s also very scary not knowing what they’ll be like. Yes, I do suppose I have quite a bit of time to continue studying for them. Though it can’t hurt to get a bit of a head start. Oh, I’m glad you’re doing well. I hear there’s been some nasty things happening around school.
Like I said, I’m sure you’ll do absolutely fine on them. You’re an intelligent witch. And a Ravenclaw. Although getting a head start can be nice. It’s certainly better than waiting until a week or two before to start studying. But nasty things? What do you mean by that?
Take Me to the Ball || Rosie & Remus
Rosie blushed as Remus kissed her hand, grinning right back. She’d never been to an actual ball before. She’d never even been to a dance with a date before. And now she had Remus, lovely, gorgeous Remus. Merlin she still had no idea why he’d said yes. Not like she particularly minded not knowing. However long he let her stick around was more than enough.
“You’re not looking so bad yourself, Remus.” Rosie teased, using her free hand to smooth down the front of his suit and straighten his tie. Really he looked incredibly handsome. She knew that he didn’t really think himself much a find, but to her, he was perfect. So what if his suit was a little shabby? Remus was handsome.
“Should we head out?” She asked. “It’s already started, and it’s reached the point where I can acceptably show up without people getting surprised about how I’m almost on time.”
Remus couldn’t help but smile as Rosie fussed a bit with his mess of a suit. In all honesty, he still couldn’t quite understand why she liked him, nor why anyone would like him. It didn’t make sense to him. And of course he questioned it, but he had yet to figure out something for it all to make sense.
With a soft chuckle, Remus nodded his head as he kept a hold of Rosie’s hand. “Yeah, of course.” He hooked her arm through his own as he led her towards the Great Hall. “Although I’ve got to admit I’m rather surprised you were down here before me. I even left a bit later than I usually would have, considering when you usually show up and all,” Remus teased with another soft chuckle. He had found it surprisingly easy being around Rosie even though he still felt completely out of his comfort zone with the whole dating thing. But she was easy enough to talk to, easy enough to spend time with. Remus was at least grateful for that or else their dating would probably have already ended in disaster due to his complete lack of confidence in all things romantic.
Remus led Rosie through the great, wooden doors into the somewhat crowded Great Hall. There were already numerous couples dancing on the dance floor while the rest of the people in attendance were scattered the tables and refreshments. Remus realized he was scanning the crowd for any sign of a certain dark-haired Gryffindor, and he promptly turned his attention back to Rosie with a warm smile, leading the way over to the nearest table. “So, what first?”
Well, yes. I do have a girlfriend. But I’m still curious as to which girl you are in my classes that I haven’t noticed.
But I don’t know what you mean about Sirius. He’s my friend who it seems I’ve fallen so hopelessly for. Just a friend. That’s all.
dont-mess-with-dor replied to your post: I’m a chocolate lover, of course!.. I’m just some girl in your class that you’ve never noticed before..
Well aren’t you Mister Popular over there, Remus?
I guess so… It’s, er… Don’t know why, exactly. I mean I’m no James or Sirius, so….
(via fahmidabx)
Oh. Well, chocolate is always brilliant!
But, er, my apologies for not noticing you, I suppose. I mean, I’m sure I have noticed, but I haven’t really been looking exactly…. Would you mind giving me a name? Or some hint as to who you are?
I know. I am simply ingenious. Well, as a matter of fact, bears do eat people, and teddy bears are done after their example. Oh, Moony, didn’t you realize already we don’t care about it? We would do anything to help you out, you know this. My ankle is not a big deal, I’ve been worse after falling from a tree. A short tree at that. Plus, running free every month gives us the feeling of being, well, great. Like we’re supposed to do something bigger than simply pulling pranks. Oi! That wasn’t nice. Fine then, I’ll make a stag face, if that’s even possible.
And I look fairly good with antlers.I still think you don’t know her well enough, and, er, other people you do. Studying? Is that what you guys call it these days? Ouch, Moony, I’m just kidding. Girls are somewhat scared of you, you know. They think you wouldn’t like them, after all you’re a Marauder. It’s prestigious to date one, you know. That’s exactly what I said, Remy-Poo. I’ve been chasing after her for six years, basically paying attention to no one else, and random girls want to… Huh, study with me. Girls I don’t even know. Oh, come on, Moony. Someday you’ll find
Siriussomeone you can trust, believe me. You already found three of us, so what’s the problem in digging up a female one? …Yeah, I know. You guys should talk.And study.
I don’t know if I’d go so far as to say ingenious, but still. You’re a smart bloke. Surprisingly. Well, yes. But teddy bears don’t eat people. A teddy bear, as I’ve said, won’t eat a person because it’s adorable and fluffy and a toy. A werewolf will eat a person because, well, it’s a monster. I know you guys don’t care about it, but I do. I don’t like it when you three are out there because you could hurt. So very, very hurt. And I’d hate myself if the wolf hurt any of you. It’s just… I know you three’ll still come with, but I wish you wouldn’t because I worry about you all. A stag face? I wish you the best of luck, Prongs! Let me know when you’ve got it figured out.
Well…even if other people do know me better, no one else has come forward to admit they like me. Rosie did. And I like her, too. Oi, shut it. When I say ‘study’ I actually mean study. Do homework and read and the like. Oddly enough, Padfoot said something almost exactly like that. About the whole being a Marauder thing, I mean. I swear you two actually share a brain or something. It’s a bit unnerving at times. But you forget that you and Sirius are in a whole different category from myself. I’m the bookish, boring prefect. And you two are…well, not that. The problem is that I don’t want to dig up a female one I didn’t even think I’d find you three. I was ready to not have any friends at all, James. But finding someone who’d be romantically interested in a werewolf? It’s not likely at all. And I can’t risk anyone finding out about my secret. …Talk? What’s there to talk about? Talking won’t change anything.
Good morning, Hogwarts!
Maybe he’ll let me record it, for prosperity’s sake. The other generations ought to know the name of his beard, too. Isn’t it just? I look away for a moment and then…boom. People. A very, very, very little. I’ll bring you soup and a book. Is that little enough? Yeah, you got it.
Doesn’t Madame Pince have them on the blacklist, though? I’m not sure they could come back if they wanted to… That woman’s scary when she’s mad. Oh, Remus…
Hmm… I wonder if he’d let me stay and listen to your conversation… I imagine it’d be rather amusing. And, of course, a conversation of legendary proportions! Yes, exactly! And exams are so far away, it makes it all even more odd to see so many people. Fine, fine. Soup and a book is little enough. Although, really, just a book would suffice. Oh, brilliant! Harper Lee. I’ll just go find some of his books to bribe you with then, yeah?
Most likely. It wouldn’t surprise me. Sirius has nearly burnt the place to the ground at one point or another, I’m sure, so that’d make sense if she did. She can be terrifying. And she’s mad more often than not when she sees James or Sirius even passing by. You’re really too humble, Rosie….
But… Where’re the explosions? The exciement? The thrills? So? I haven’t really got hurt yet from pranks… And neither has anyone else… Seriously physically at least…
Other stuff yes.It generally is worth it. Pretty much always, try to make sure of that. And nahh, I think someone might notice if Malfoy were to disappear like that. We’ll just have to think of somethign better.But we’ve already done it. And it’s helping isn’t it? And how could I hate you? You’re my… You’re so important to me… And I’m not going to hate you ever no matter what. Well…. I don’t know… Umm…. Going down to the lake? I don’t know how long its arms actually are… That’s true we did…
Well, there aren’t explosions. But there’s still excitement and thrills. In your head. With your imagination, I mean. ….I guess not. No big physical injuries or anything, no. But still… Sometimes it’s worth it. Only sometimes. Because I’m still not convinced detention counts as being worth it. Ah, right. People’re bound to notice. But what could be better?
Yes, it is helping. Loads. More than I ever thought it could, really. Well, I mean, most people would hate me because I’m a werewolf and all. It’s… Y’know… But, erm, no matter what? Even if I told you I fancy you? Hmm…. I think we ought to do a bit of investigating to figure out where everyone’s disappearing off to.
