Back In Time

December 13, 1975. 2:34 AM

I was back at the Astronomy Tower. Another nightmare. The story of my life. At least. Right now. This one wasn't too bad. In fact. That first nightmare I had. On the first day of school. Was the worst it's been. All the others were fine. I didn't feel like I was trapped. But. I still liked coming here. It's always calmed me. Whenever I felt stressed. Or anxious. Or angry. Or. Any emotion. Really. I came up here. I loved it up here.

But. Anyway. Yeah. I was up here again. It was around 2:30 in the morning. I've been here for awhile. Just looking at the moon. And the stars. The night. Breathing in the night air. Thinking positive thoughts. It helped. It really did. Made me look on the bright side. I may still be trapped in 1975. Dumbledore still hasn't found the book. I still have no way to get back to 1996. But. The positives? I get to spend more time. Getting to know my family. I know it's not really fair. To Harry. Knowing our parents more than he does. But. It is. What. It is.

I think I'm ready to leave now. I've calmed down. I kinda want to try and sleep. Even though it was Saturday. I still want at least five or six hours of sleep. So. I'm heading back to the Common Room. I get there. I say the password. To the Fat Lady. Moonbeams. That was the password. She opens the door. I walk in. As I'm nearing the bottom of the stairs. To the Common Room. I stop. Something. Catching my eyes.

Near the fire. On the couch. I normally sit on. Are two people. Snogging. Then. The light from the fire. Outlines some scars. On one of the persons face. Remus. The other one. Long. Black. Hair. Sirius. Sirius. And Remus. On the couch. Snogging. Sirius closest to me. Remus farthest from me.

I smile. They look cute together. They are. Cute together. I like it. But. Then. I realize. I'm watching them snog. I should not. Be watching them snog. No. I shouldn't. So? Why am I still watching? I don't know. I don't know. At all. I should really look away. Or leave. But. Either. I leave back through the Portrait. And get a telling off by the Fat Lady. Or. I try to make it to my Dorm. Before they see. Or hear me. I don't want to interrupt. But. I don't want them to get nervous. By someone walking by. But. I also. Don't want them to think I was spying. Which. I guess. Technically. I am. Not deliberately. Or on purpose. It was an accident. I didn't mean to catch them. Snogging. I need to make a decision. On what to do. I think I have one. I might regret this.

I cleared my throat. Loudly.

It was instant. The boys. Sprang apart. Jumping off the couch. Staring right at me. But. Not. At the same time. Faces. Clearly red. Even I could tell that from here. We continued to stare at each other. For a bit. Until I spoke. With a smile. On my face.

"I knew it." I paused. The boys looked confused. "I knew it. I knew it. I knew. I knew it. I. Knew. It."

"Will you stop saying 'I knew it?'" Sirius asked. Glaring at me.

"Sorry. But I did. I've had my suspicions for awhile now." I admitted.

"How long?" Remus asked. Embarrassed.

"Since the Beginning Feast." I shrugged.

"Really?" Sirius asked.

"Really." I replied. Both boys looked at each other. Kind of in horror. I guess they didn't really want people to know. "But. I think I might be the only one. Who knows. Everybody else is kind of. Oblivious." I added.

They both breathed a sigh of relief. And sat. Back down. On the couch. I walked over and sat in front of them. On the floor. Smirking.

"Will you stop smirking?" Sirius asked.

"Nope. Probably not." I paused. "You do realize. That most of my smirking. That I do. Is. Because of you two. Right?"

Remus and Sirius. Both. Widened their eyes.
