-SO LONG GOODBYE by SUM 41- 

(FILLER)

Emma:

I stood with an umbrella above my head, staring at the muddy ground. The Marauders hadn't made an appearance since last night, (besides when I overheard James and Remus' conversation) and it was now free period at 3:10 in the afternoon

"Emma?"

I turn my head to see my brother, covered in stratches. "Hi.." I whisper, my voice cracking slightly. "Look, Em-"

"He made you promise, didn't he?" I ask, my eyes burning with tears, making my words hard to muster without sobbing.

"What?" James frowns, stepping closing, running a hand through his wet hair. "Remus. He made you promise not to tell me that he didn't want me around, seeing as he could hurt me." I sniffle, wiping my nose. "How.."

(FLASHBACK, AFTER FULL MOON)

"James... I need you to promise me something." I heard Remus say from around the corner in the abandoned hall.

I stop, leaning against the wall and listening closely. "Yeah, sure. Anything Moony."

"I... don't want Emma around me. I could hurt her. Just... don't tell her. Please?" My heart cracks. "Sure."

"I heard you, at like 2:00 in the morning. In the hall. How... How would you agree!?" I scoff, looking around in annoyance. "I just... He could hurt you, Emma." James says, in a slightly angry tone.

"No. I'm your twin, idiot! I can take care of myself!" I yell, storming off. But for some reason, the place my feet lead me wasn't what my mind was intending. I stood outside of the Hospital Wing.

I hear a slight yell of pain, then a whimper. Oh hell naw.

I burst in, dropping my umbrella. Remus was covered in numerous bleeding gashes, his hair sticking to his forehead with sweat.

"Hoooooly sheep!" I squeak, flying over. "N-no... E-Em...Emm-a... Do-n't c-c-come... Ne-ar... m-e..." He stutters out between ragged and hoarse breaths. "Shut up, you little sheep. I am not leaving your side. You won't hurt me." I glare. "Emma just go-"

"REMUS JOHN LUPIN." I bellow, stomping my foot to make a point. "HOW DARE YOU TELL MY BROTHER TO NOT TELL ME THAT YOU DIDN'T WANT ME AROUND BECAUSE YOU COULD HURT ME!"

Remus cringed, sinking into his pillows. "YOU ARE NOT GETTING RID OF ME THAT BLOODY EASILY YOU DIPSTICK!"

A small smile forms along his chapped and faded lips. "AND BLOODY HELL WHY IS POPPY NOT... Oh my god just let me." I roll my eyes, taking a sponge from a bowl. I squeeze out the excess water, lightly wiping the blood off. "You are so bloody stupid, Remus." I mutter under my breath, cleaning out the blood filled sponge. The water was magic, so it was always warm and fresh. "Sorry Em." He chuckles painfully, wincing. I retract my hand, looking at him frantically. "Did I hurt you? Balls... Sorry..." He just smiles, taking my free hand.

And so, we sat like that for as long as it took for me to clean the gashes all over his torso. Well, I was slightly embarrassed. I hear a camera click and aww's. I whip my head around, to see a red head and my annoying best friend gushing over a photo and giggling. "Zeeee...." I whine, pouting. "Hey. Um, sorry for what happened on the train months ago.... I just... Your brother never stops being a jerk to everyone, and keeps asking me out." Lily looks down. "That's fine. I also apologise for absolutely wrecking you in the argument." I wink, but turn back to Remus. Blood was seeping through the slices again.

I gasp. "Why don't you just magically fix the cuts?" Zee asks, coming over. "No. Magic can't heal these. It has to be done... like a muggle doctor would. Accio, stitch gear." I call out, waving my wand. Needles and medical string in a box appeared on the trolley. "Oh god." Remus whispers, closing his eyes.

I grab a syringe, looking at it. "Remus, I need you to trust me on this one." I look at him in the eye. His own widen, as he nods. "Just don't kill me, please."

"Of course I won't, Remus." I chuckle. "This is to numb.... you won't feel anything."

(AFTER STITCHING UP GOOD OLE' REMMY)

I held Remus' hand, staring at him.

Jeez, that wasn't creepy..

Poppy barged in with medical items, scuttling over. "Out of the way Miss. Potter- Oh." I look up smiling. "Look, I patched him up!" I whisper happily. Poppy smiles. "Well, you are now my assistant, seeing as you can do all this complicated stuff." She cheerfully walks off, without giving me a chance to say anything. "Alright then."

I place my cheek in Remus' hand, sighing. "You should sing for him." A voice says quietly from behind me. Sirius. "I don't know, Siri. I sound like a dying whale."

He snorts. "No. Just sing a song for him, you poo."

I sigh, trying to think of a song.

"Uh..." But then a song pops into my head.

"Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick,

And think of you
Caught up in circles
Confusion is nothing new
Flashback, warm nights
Almost left behind
Suitcases of memories,
Time after

Sometimes you picture me
I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me, I can't hear
What you've said
Then you say, go slow
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds

If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you, I will be waiting
Time after time

If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you, I will be waiting
Time after time

After my picture fades and darkness has
Turned to gray
Watching through windows
You're wondering if I'm okay
Secrets stolen from deep inside
The drum beats out of time

If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you, I will be waiting
Time after time

You said go slow
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds

If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time

If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you, I'll be waiting

Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after
Time..." A small smile plays across Remus' lips as he 'slept.'
"Please sleep, for real Rem." I stand up, going to walk away, except he grabs my hand. "Stay..." He mumbles, dozing off. I face him, and sit back on my chair. Though first I leaned across and softly kissed his cheek. "Always, Rem."
