June Roses (DISCONTINUED)

Chapter 4

June woke up the next morning feel sore and tired. She stiffly got out of the bed, but once her feet hit the ground she was filled with an extreme amount of pain. She had forgotten how much it hurt to do basic tasks like getting dressed, but once again it probably hurt more than normal since she had forgotten what the pain felt like. She had finished as soon as Lori had waken up and tried to wait for her. In the end, Lori told her to go on as she would probably be able to catch up with her.

She was slowly walking down the stairs when she saw Remus doing the same thing. Once they had both gotten to the portrait hole, they greeted each other.

"Good morning, Remus. Did you sleep well?" June asked as they made their way out. Remus shrugged.

"As well as I could, how about you?" June shrugged.

"As well as I could." She said teasingly, they were about half way to the Great Hall and caught up in conversation when a voice called for June. She turned around and saw Lori and Ryder racing towards them.

"What'd I tell you, Junie? And look I brought Ryder with me!" Lori exclaimed as shook Ryder's arm in the air. She didn't seem to notice Remus at first.

"Morning, Ryder." June muttered.

"Morning, Junie, Remus," he greeted and Lori seemed confused until she saw him.

"Oh! Remus! You're here too! Good morning, then!" Lori said excitedly and he muttered a 'good morning' in return. They walked into the Great Hall a few moments later.

"I'll see you later, Rem. Tell the others I said good morning when they get here. If they get here." June corrected herself, waving goodbye to Remus and sat down at the Ravenclaw table in between Lori and Ryder.

"So, Junie. I have something I want to discuss with you," Lori said after awhile, June turned to her.

"Yeah?" June asked, giving her her full attention. Lori cleared her throat, looking at Ryder.

"So, you know how Ryder and I sometimes leave? You know, like alone?" Lori asked and June snorted.

"Yeah, to go off snogging or something," she muttered and Lori looked at her shock.

"How did you know?" Lori asked, June's jaw dropped.

"Wait really? I was just joking!" She laughed, Lori and Ryder chuckled nervously.

"So, you're fine with it?" Lori asked.

"Well, it's about damn time! Of course I'm fine with it! Why wouldn't I be?" June said incredulously. They shrugged.

"We just didn't know how'd you react, Junie. But just to let you know, we're keeping it on the down low for now, we only wanted to tell you because you're our best friend. So, don't go and tell your little boyfriend, alright?" Ryder joked and June looked at him with suspicion.

"Who's my boyfriend? I'm not dating anyone," June asked and Ryder laughed.

"Remus of course! You've been hanging around with him and his lot these past few days haven't you!" Ryder said and both June and Lori looked at him.

"We've only hung out yesterday," June reminded him.

"Right," he trailed off.

"Yes, Ryder, that's correct, it's literally the third day of school, and we hung out yesterday, that's it. I was with you and Lori all of the feast and after that." June said and Lori nodded along.

"It's fine, Junie. We understand. It's alright if you don't trust us enough to tell you," Ryder said, the girls' eyebrows shot up.

"What do you mean 'We?' June is telling the truth! You were with us!" Lori said.
