the days turned into weeks, and the weeks turned into months for Remus and Valentine. things didn't change much, but soon Remus started to fall for Valentine more each day. they didnt say anything on the subject and were happy as they were. soon enough, they invited Severus to their little troup. Remus actually began to treat him as a good friend and realized that he was more clever than he thought. which was good, because it ment that Val sorted out his wolfbane potions and Severus had managed to find another small spot on the ground of hogwarts for his transformations, which wasnt the shrieking shack anymore. it was part of the castle, seperated from the rest. they must of decided to start putting an exstention on hogwarts but abandoned the idea. plus, it was just outside of the forbidden forest, so if he managed to escape, he would be away from people, which put everyone in less danger. Valentine still hadn't told him (or severus now) about the cancer. there were somedays that even she felt she was getting worse, but it she tried not to let it show, even though she was pretty sure they were on to her. but whenever they asked, she would blame it on insomnia. (of which she had to explain)
it was december now, and it was two days before they broke up for the holidays. Valentine had volenteerd to help decorate the great hall. the other two backed out of the idea, as they were not interested as much, and not as creative and artistic as Val was. Valentine was just levitating the tinsel on the walls. plaiting them with holly and other festive decorations whilst the other two sat at the table watching her. Professor Mcgonigal came over and admired her work.
"beautifuly decorated miss Shiro. we should ask for your help decorating more offten when it comes to events like these" she chuckled and turned to the others.
"remember boys, you have your OWLS after you come back from your holidays" she began but then looked at the amount of books between Remus and Severus. she smiled.
"well, i never thought i'd live to see this" she smiled again.
"a slytherin and a gryfindoor getting along." she shook her head, wished the three a merry christmas and walked off. Valentine turned around after putting her wand back in her pocket.
"well, i think thats done it" she looked around the hall walls to admire her work. the others did the same.
"very pretty" Severus replied.
"extremely beautiful" Remus slowley said, not even paying attention to the decorations, but simply staring at Valentine.
"are you sure you cant come over to mine for christmas?" Remus asked. Val stopped for a moment. she couldnt. for the past 4 years, ever since she had gotten cancer, she tried to spend most of the events of the year with her family, just in case it was her last. she shook her head.
"sorry, i'm with you for most of the year, but christmas is special for me and my family" she replied with a sad look on her face. Remus noticed this. she shook her head quickly and gave a smile.
"anyway, you've got Severus with you this christmas" she laughed. both of them smiled.
"anyway, i'm going to get changed out of these bloody robes. i dont even know why I dressed in them in first place, considering its a day off from lessons" she laughed.
"look after my bag?" she demanded. it wasnt a question. they both nodded and walked off. Severus smile fadded when she left.
"hey, I never asked. hows lily?" Severus looked up. Remus knew what happened that day and still was heartbroken by what happened with that filthy word.
"you sure you want me to tell you? i know its just gonna emotionally hurt you" Remus Replied Quietly. Severus took a deep breath and looked up.
"just tell me" he replied. Remus cleared his throat.
"shes dating James" he replied quickly. wanting to get it out. Severus eyes watered. he rubbed his eyes. i-is he crying? Remus thought. he must really love her.
"Severus" he began, but Severus raised his hand.
"theres only one thing im gonna say on the matter. i never stop thinking about her" he replied, with emotion in his voice.
"then try and fix it" Remus replied. Severus shook his head.
"no. ive tried as hard as i possibly can moony. i cant fix it this time" and that was all he said for the rest of the evening.
