remus found a lot of things unfair. one of the things in particular was that whenever he woke up, there was a fifty percent chance that he would be confused and have absolutely no memory of anything previous. this was one of those times.
"what the hell?" remus asked as he shot up from the train seat he was lying upon. "good morning, mate!" james said, leaning over and ruffling his hair. "what happened? why don't i remember getting here? was i drugged?" he asked, fully standing up.
"calm down, moony." sirius said, looking at him seriously. "sit down and we will explain everything."
remus, who wasn't going to be calming down anytime soon, slowly sat back down on the bench next to peter, who was just smiling at him.
"you may or may not have been put under a love potion." james explained quietly. "i'm going to kill charity..." remus groaned, standing up once more. peter pulled him back down. "charity didn't do anything to you." he explained. remus looked at his friend confused.
"alyssa abbott did."
"who the hell is that?" remus practically yelled. "you don't even know who that is? my god, why did she do this?" sirius asked, rubbing his temple and closing his eyes. "i mean, there has to be more to the story!"
"there is definitely something we're missing." peter said softly. "let's just ask marina!" remus suggested. the three other boys cringed. "oh no."
"you...kind of said some stuff to her..." peter explained. "what did i say?" he asked hesitantly. peter took a deep breath before continuing.
"you said a lot, but one of your exact statements was 'i lied. you believed me. who's the dumb one'." peter explained. remus groaned loudly and slammed his head into the couch cushion. "one step forward and three steps back." he muttered.
"well...she might not be completely mad at you. we can still go." peter suggested. remus nodded hopefully. something similar has happened before. could this be much worse?

"i am so mad at him!"
marina was pacing around the compartment, only stopping when she had something else to say about remus. "he thinks he's all that! how could he do this?"
"he's lying, we all know that." laura said calmly. "oh, trust me, i know." marina snapped. "he must have had some ego boost and now thinks he is too good for me. which he is not, by the way."
"let him have it." hayden said, leaning back against the window. "if he ever thinks about coming near me again i swear i will sucker punch him so hard across the face." she hissed.
"marina, i love you, though i am still mad about my head. but, we all know you won't be doing that." laura sighed. "what do you mean?" marina asked.
"if remus asks you out or even talks to you, you will immediately melt into a gushy little puddle and forgive him." she explained. "no i won't!" marina said defensively. all the girls looked at her in disbelief.
"so, you're telling us, that if remus knocked on the door right now, you wouldn't open it?" hayden asked, crossing her arms in front of her chest. "of course i won't!" marina snapped.
"turn around." laura said.
marina winced before turning around and saw the marauders standing outside of the door. remus knocked on it. "oh, this should be interesting." laura muttered under her breath. marina shot her head towards her and sent her a nasty look before turning her attention back to the door.
she took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, before hesitantly walking towards the door. remus smiled brightly at her as she got closer.
she pulled the cover down, shielding them from view. "yes, marina!" amelia said happily, thrusting her fist into the air. "wow, you actually did it." laura said, sounding impressed.
"i am a new woman." marina said happily, sitting back down. she heard the hushed voices of the marauders and their soft footsteps walking down the corridor of the train.
it felt good to be in power for once.
