Helena was in her dorm thinking about everything that happened earlier.
"How can I have the same patronus as Remus? It can't be a coincidence, its almost impossible. The only way that two people can have the same patronus is when- Oh my God! I have a crush on him! I like Remus Lupin! That explains a lot actually... Like the first night at Hogwarts and the last piece of cake. How could I be so clueless? I have to tell Lily immediately."
And she headed straight to the common room to find her best friend."Helena what is going on?" Asked Lily
Helena grabbed her hand and dragged her to their dorm without giving her any explanation.
"There is something really important I have to tell you and please don't make fun of me..." spoke the girl "IthinIlirem..."
"What? Please speak clearly El!"
"I... I think I like Remus..." stuttered El
"I knew it! Merlin I'm so happy! You have to tell him Helena." Cheered Lily
"I dont think that telling him is a good idea. I don't want to destroy our friendship... I've known him since we were 11 and, besides, I don't think he likes me back..."
"I dont think so but you're right, dont tell him now... Now let's go to the Great Halk cause we will miss dinner and Professor Dumbledore wants to make an announcement" added Lily
"Yeah come on..." responded the girlThe two girls sat next to Marlene and Mary at the Gryffindor table and waited for the headmaster to make his announcement.
"Good evening everyone. Before we start having dinner I would like to make an announcement. This Christmas there is going to be a Ball for 4th-year-students and above. All of you must be dressed elegantly and you can bring a date with you. A week before the Christmas Ball we will visit Hogsmead for you to buy festive clothes and presents!"
"Helena did you hear that? There is going to be a Christmas Ball! Oh I'm so excited!" Sang Mary
"I know it's going to be totally awesome!" Exclaimed Helena
"Oi Evans! Will you go to the Ball with me?" Shouted James
"I wouldn't go with you even if they had a gun in my head!" Snapped Lily and looked away.After dinner the girls went straight to their dorm so that Helena could tell them about Remus.
"Finally you admitted it Helena!" Cheered Marlene "I was sure something was going on between you two!"
"Yeah yeah you were right bla bla bla... The thing is that I don't think he likes me back... And I'm sure he won't ask me to the Christmas Ball..."
"Don't be such a pessimist... I'm sure he will ask you soon..." stated Marlene
"Oh thank you guys for your advise... I think I'll go to bed now... Goodnight Lily, goodnight Marls, goodnight Mary!"
"Goodnight!" Spoke the girlsRemus' pov
We were in our dorm chatting about the Christmas ball. James said that he would continue asking Lily but I'm sure she will never say yes. Sirius had already made a list of girls that he would ask and Peter would ask a 5th year Ravenclaw called Kate.
"Moony are you going to ask Helena to the Ball?" Requested James
"What? Um, what do you mean? Why should I ask her? She's my friend Prongs, nothing else..." I replied
"Wow wow Moony I just asked because Vixen is our best friend and I don't want her to go alone!" Spoke James
"I know what is going on... MOONY LIKES VIXEN, MOONY LIKES VIXEN!" started shouting Sirius
"NO I DON'T! STOP SAYING THAT PADS!" I protested but now James and Peter started singing too.
"Oh come on mate! We all know that you have a crush on her, it's pretty obvious you know..." chimed James
"Yeah alright, I like her... BUT, don't you dare tell her anything or else I'll transfigurate you into spiders!" I said and I closed the curtains on my bed. The guys didn't stop singing Moony likes Vixen until I screamed to shut their mouths.Wow. It is very strange saying it out loud... No Remus, you can't! She doesn't like you back, how could she? You're a monster, a werewolf... How could she like you? How could she like someone that once a month transforms into a deadly beast? A beast... That's what I am... I must ignore these feelings. But what if...? NO STOP IT! SHE DOESN'T WANT YOU AND SHE NEVER WILL...
