It Started With A Prank War {The Marauders}

Chapter 32 - Oh My God

I gently rubbed the cream on Remus's face and sighed. It was quiet, and awkward, especially since 1) I was still mad at them, and 2) They thought it would be more safe for me to go to their dormitory and work on Remus's wounds there.

"So how's Tommy?" I shot a glare at Sirius and he stayed quiet.

"I know I've said this many times..." Remus whispered to me. "But are you sure you're okay to do this?"

"I'm only doing this for your sake." I said to him, rubbing the cream over a cut just below his lip. Remus sighed and nodded.

"I know you're not in the best terms with those three-" I groaned silently and looked down. "Hey, come on now."

"I'm sorry... but that poor guy that they dragged up to my dormitory-"

"I know..." Remus sighed. "Listen, they are sorry Bells, really for everything. You're just not letting them say it."

"I have." I muttered, gritting my teeth.

"No you haven't. I know you're mad at them, because they were being stupid and arrogant." Remus said loudly, shooting James, Sirius and Peter a look. They frowned at him.

"And annoying and idiotic and big-headed and-"

"Okay okay I get it." Remus nodded furiously. "Just, I think, the reason they did it, and by ruining your date with Hunter too-"

"Can we not bring that up?"

"But I think they did it, because deep down, they care about you Bells." I didn't answer and continued rubbing the cream on him.

"You have cuts on your arm, Wolfie." I stated, trying to change the subject. I grabbed his right arm and wiped the blood off.

"Yeah I know. But back to topic. They do care about you-"

"Why? If they did, they wouldn't be ruining my dates and dragging people to my dormitory now would they?"

"They have a weird way of showing it." Remus muttered.

"You can say that again."

"I'm just saying that we all care about you whether you like it or not."

"I don't know..." I said quietly.

"We don't want you to get hurt Isabel," Remus said seriously. I frowned at him and raised an eyebrow.

"Says the boy who has cuts and scars all over him." Remus sighed and smiled softly.

"Alright, but you do-" He stopped, his smile fading as he spotted the faded lines of dried blood on my wrists. He grabbed my hand gently and his eyes widened before looking at me. I refused to meet his eyes by looking down.

"Don't." I stated. "It was hard and-" I was cut off by Remus pulling me into a hug, I sighed deeply and hugged back.

"You only did it once right?" Remus whispered in my ear. I nodded and sighed. He broke the hug and grabbed the antibacterial wipes. He then gently wiped the dried blood off both my wrists. He grabbed the bandages and wrapped both my wrists gently. I sighed and looked down. Once he had finished, I looked at my now bandaged wrists.

"T-Thank you..." I muttered, turning red lightly.

"You're welcome. Promise me one thing though Isabel." I looked up at Remus, seeing a very worried expression on his face. "Please don't ever do it again."
