The Marauder's fifth secret {R.L.}

Part 42 {Didn't happen huh?}

{Lucy's point of view}

I slowly opened my eyes, seeing my bedroom ceiling. I smelled the smell of my bedroom when you haven't been in it for a while. I sat up straight, seeing that it was clearly still pitch dark outside.

Mya and Riley were still asleep in their beds, like every morning. I looked around, noticing someone was asleep in the extra bed. They were fully covered with a blanket, from head to toe. I stood up and walked over to my drawers, leaving my bed a mess. I grabbed my school clothes and got dressed in the bathroom.

When I exited, I started throwing my schoolbooks into my bag.

"Stars?" someone asked from behind me.

I turned around to see Remus sitting up on the extra bed, still tired. He wore school pants, with no shirt. He wiped his eyes, clearly still waking up.

"Remus?" I asked softly, not trying to wake the other two. I was confused. I walked over to him, dropping my bags on the vanity.

"Why are you here?" I asked, suddenly noticing that he wasn't wearing a shirt. I swung around looking away from him, I felt awkward. He laughed as he noticed why I did so.

"Stars, you saw me like this before" he chuckled while standing up. "C'mon" he pulled me around so that I was facing him. Instead I was facing his scared, breath-taking, bare chest.

"Why are you here?" I asked, frozen. I saw him once before without a shirt when he got hurt.

He smiled down at me, grabbing me around my shoulders and hugged me tightly. "I'm glad you're okay Stars" he sighed. He rested his head on mine, swaying a little.

"What do you mean?" I asked confused. "Look, I want to be early for classes" I said letting go of him.

He looked down at me, suddenly realizing my school clothes. "Stars, it's Saturday. No school today" he laughed. His hands were still on my shoulders. I had to look up at him, as he is/was a lot taller than me.

"What?" I yelled. I immediately turned to Mya and Riley, who were luckily still asleep. "I mean, what?" I whispered, making him giggle. "You're joking right? It's Wednesday" I looked back at him, him having a big smile on his face.

"No Stars, you fainted. You were blacked out for three days" he softly said, letting go of my shoulders. A frown covered his face.

Confused I looked around. "What are you talking about?" I asked giving a light fake-chuckle.

Remus looked at me, realizing I had no idea about what he was talking about. "Stars, what is the last thing you remember?" he asked bending down to look me in my eyes.

"I remember James yelling then" I stopped. "Then nothing" I frowned looking back at Remus. "Wait- did, did it happen again?" I realized. I still couldn't remember a thing, nothing.

"Yes, it did" he said in a worried tone. "Stars, you almost grew an entire field" he said, taking my hands as I looked down at my feet.

"Wait" I looked back up at him. "Did I hurt someone again?" I asked, worried.

Remus put his hand on my cheek, looking at my worried eyes. "No Stars, everyone is okay. Look Stars" he said. My eyes wondered back to the ground, a little less worried and a little relieved. "Look at me" he said louder, making me look at him in fright. "It's okay, nothing bad happened" he said, giving a faint smile.

I faked a smile, hoping he would believe it. He slowly let go of my cheek. The room fell quiet. I walked back to my drawers, getting clothes, without another word. I got dressed in the bathroom, and when I exited, Remus had gone.

I smiled. Of course he'd disappear.
