It had been three days since the incident.  Me and Remus became more of friends than study buddies and I had started talking to his friends. Turns out James was not as discusting as Lily said, he was actually pretty funny.

"You should've seen the look on his face!" We all broke out into laughter.  I was sitting in the common room, late at night talking to my new friends. Lily now refused to talk to me because I was talking to James, but I figured she'd come around.

"So, Moony," Sirius started and by the smirk on his face I could tell that it wasn't good, "how's married life treating you?" He looked at Sirius, confused. "Well, you and Bree are practically married! From what you guys tell us of the little "adventures" you two have together and you being all sweet to each other..." "What no!" I stopped Sirius. "Yeah, it's not like that!" Remus defended me. "See what I mean?"

We turned and looked at each other. Both our faces went red. For a long time it was silent, but then I broke it. I fake yawned. "Well, I'm exhausted." I think I'll head up to bed...."

As I walked up the stairs I could hear Sirius call after me, "Sure! You're "tired"!"

"Bree!" Lily came running towards me in the Great Hall. "I'm so sorry!" I looked at her in confusion as she pulled me into a hug. "Wha-" "Remus told me what happens to your parents and I'm sorry I never-" "Wait a minute! Remus told you?!" "Yeah, why?" I ripped her off me and turned to Remus who was sitting beside me. He gulped.

"You told her?!" I screamed loud enough for the whole Hall to hear. Everyone turned and looked. "I didn't know y-" "I thought I could trust you!" "But you sai-" "I HATE YOU!" I yelled and ran out of the Great Hall, through the great wooden doors of Hogwarts and out onto the lawn, but I didn't stop there.  My legs carried me all the way into the Forbidden Forest until I was too tired to run anymore and I sat down on a log.

I let myself catch my breathe for a few minutes before I realized something. I wanted to go back. It was stupid to run away for something like that. But if I went back everyone would be asking questions and stuff and I didn't think I could handle it. But, I thought, looking at my surroundings, where exactly is back?
