Forty Three

Meet me at the library

-Remus

Abigail folds the letter with a satisfied smirk settled on her face. "Here," she tosses a stale cracker from Alice's desk at Sodapop, hurrying to get ready. Alice and Hestia were painting each other's nails on the floor when Abigail brushes past carelessly.

"Watch it!" Alice scolds, moving her nail polish bottle. "This is my favorite color!"

"Sorry," Abigail says gabbing her perfume bottle on the table. She spritzes herself three times. "I didn't see it."

"Where are you going?" Marlene asks. She sits on her bed with a cloth, polishing the handle of her broomstick.

"I'm going to meet Remus," she tells them giddily.

"Didn't you two, like, break up?" Hestia questions.

Lily takes her hair down out of its ponytail, brushing it out in front of the mirror. "Can I?" Abigail asks, walking over to Lily. The redhead hands her the brush, moving over to sit with Marlene. "We're on a break," Abigail explains running the pink brush through her long blonde locks. "He just sent me an owl to go meet him."

"Secret rendezvous!" Alice squeals. "I wish Frank would do that."

"Alice, Frank graduated," Marlene points out.

Alice frowns, capping her nail polish. "Don't remind me."

Abigail glosses her lips one last time, smacking her thin lips in the mirror to evenly coat them. "Alright, I'll be back!" She jumps over Alice and Hestia's set up, exiting the dorm with an extra skip in her step. The common room was completely empty, rare for a Friday night. It wasn't even that late yet. The sun was set completely, revealing a cloudless starry night outside. The perfect setting for a romantic night.

The library door was propped open with a dragon head doorstop, but the lights were shut off. Abigail pulls the door open, spotting Remus sitting on one of the couches. A few candles are lit on the table, a hazy glow illuminating him.

"Remus?" Abigail whispers.

"Abigail," Remus calls, turning at the sound of her voice.

She takes a seat next to him, crossing her legs on the couch with a flirty smile. "Hey."

"Hey."

"What did you want to meet me for?"

Remus faces her completely, rubbing his thumb on her exposed knee. "Sirius is getting expelled." Abigail's eyes widen. "He leaves first thing tomorrow morning."

"What?" she gasps. "I told you he cursed Lisa!"

Remus moves over to her and wraps his arms around her. She cranes her neck, allowing Remus to hold his head against her. "I just don't know why he would do it. Or how he did it!"

"He's a vicious person, Rem. You can finally see him for what he is. He's vile, ruthless." She comforts him, rubbing his back affectionately. "He'll pay for what he did."

"What if I was out in the forest? I could've hurt her myself!"

"Don't worry baby. Black is going away, for a very long time."
