We Will Go Down In History (Remus X OC)

Chapter 22

Was she messing with me? No, that wasn't a possibility McGonagall was an extremely serious teacher. She was my teacher and head of house and apparently also Viel's grandmother.

I couldn't believe it, this made no sense at all. I mean I understand why she never told us her grandmother was McGonagall. Viel thought maybe we wouldn't believe her or would make fun of her.

Does that mean that maybe Lily had known?

I had days to overthink this, as I desperately waited for madame Pomfrey to tell me I could finally leave.

Each day seemed longer than the last, it was horriblely lonely, waiting on the hours to pass.

But after a week, finally I was told I could leave.
The first thing I wanted to do was to find Viel. I needed to apologize to her, to explain the whole situation.

It had been so long that I was worried I would have maybe forgotten some of the details at this point.

Between the dizziness from the full moon and the new information McGonagall had given me about Viel, I was at a lost for words but I had so many questions to ask and answers to give her.

I wonder whether now was the right time to tell her about my illness. Was there ever really the right time?

No there's never really a right time, you know what, fuck it, maybe I'd even ask her to come as my partner to the Christmas party. That is if she forgives me for kissing her.

I needed to be honest with her I needed to tell her the truth all of it. About everything, the kiss, the party, and the full moons.

I care about her more than my pride and secrets, she would never tell anyone anyway, right?

Somehow I think being alone for so long had made me a little too confident and maybe even a little unstable.

I walked into the great hall, high on confidence and ready to talk to Viel. But it all quickly came crushing down.

The second I laid my eyes on her, I caught her laughing at someone else's jokes.

She was sitting with a slytherin boy I had never seen her spend time with before. My confidence quickly turned into jealousy as I saw her place her hand on his.

And quickly all that honesty I wanted to share with her turned into hatred for this unknown boy. I watched her closely for a couple of seconds as she offered to serve him some more bacon.

Like a prick he declined, I could feel my head burning and my hands shaking. All it took was one week. One week and she had forgotten about me.

"Yo Moony, let go off your fork, you're going to break it,"

"Shut up Siruis," I growled back,

"Woah, what the hell, why are you in such a bad mood,"

"I think you know why Padfoot," James tilted his head towards the slytherin table,

"Oh yeah she started hanging out with Atlas Nahash," Siruis sighed, "Don't get worked up over that, they're just friends,"

I scoffed hard, "Friends? You've got to be kidding me, look at how he looks at her and how many times she's touched his hand,"

"Alright Moony," James tried to reason with me, "don't jump to conclusions no one has done anything that shows they are dating, besides she would have told us,"

"Yeah of course," I growled once again, "because apparently you guys are her best friends now,"

"what now," Siruis corrected, "That's always been Lily's role and you know that, besides it's not because you guys had some wierd sort of fight that wasn't actually a fight, that that means you're not friends anymore,"

"Yeah Rem," James defended Siruis's argument, "Viel knows you were in the hospital wing, she's still waiting to get the chance to talk to you,"

"Clearly," I huffed, "I think she'd prefer spending her time differently,"

"Don't be more of a Dick Remus," Siruis sighed again, "Go talk to her when you have the chance otherwise yes, you will be ruining your friendship with her,"
