Remus's POV

*Remus’s POV*

“Mar… w-will you go out with me?” I heard Ashton Wood ask Marlee. We were walking together talking about the wolfsbane potion when Ashton came up to us, and asked Marlee out. “Um… I’m sorry Ashton. Can you give me some time to think?” She asked quietly. He nodded and walked away. “You should say yes Mar… he’s a good guy.” I said. I didn’t want her with Wood, but I want her to be happy, and I want her to be safe even if that means having watching her date him. “He may be a good guy, but I don’t like him like that.” She said quietly. She kept looking down at the floor while she walked. Before I could say anything else she walked away. “You know this wouldn’t have happened if you just asked her out already. I swear that girl is going to be an old cat lady waiting for you.” Chrystal said walking up to me. “What do you mean?” I asked her. “Come on Remus. It doesn’t that occlumency to know that Marlee has had a thing for you since you met, and everyone knows that you like her. Just go get her already.” She said. “Chrys… It’s not that simple.” I said trying to brush off the fact that she was right. I did have a thing for Marlee. A big thing, and it wasn’t going away anytime soon. “Yes Remus. It really is. You like her she likes you. I mean she made a potion just for you. You gotta appreciate those moments because they won’t last forever. Now go find her and ask her out.” She said giving me a little push. “What happens if one day I forget to take the potion, and hurt her? What happens then?” I asked. “What if we do get together, and things go great, but I pass this… this curse on to my children? I deserve to be alone Chrys. I WANT to be alone.” “What’s life without a little risk Re? Carpe Diem, live in the moment. If you never try then you’ll never know. Marlee has stuff she will pass on too. She absolutely hates being a Metamorphagus. She doesn’t like that everyone knows her feelings all the time. Neither of us likes that, but it’s the only thing that connects us with our family, our past. That’s what makes us, well us. Re even if you did pass it on to your kids, they will like that its part of you. This is part of who you are a strong, loving, and caring person.” She told me. I finally got to my dorm thinking about what she said. Could I have a future with marlee?
