☽ 005 [ Waxing Crescent ] - - Accidentally Dictated.

[lupinotuum]

[ Remus is completely unaware of the open journal sitting on his desk in his room, far too preoccupied with pacing back and forth while he mutters to himself. His voice sounds quite agitated and upset and it's probably not a surprise that he hasn't slept in the past two days, and neither has he left his room.

After what happened on Valentines Day, he's far too embarrassed -- and perhaps just a little heartbroken -- to be able to face a certain someone right now. ]

-- stupid. Someone should really write a book. 
"How to lose your best friend in three words or less." Sounds like a right bestseller if you ask me --

[ There's a small huff and noise that sounds awfully like the mew of a cat. Someone's gotten into his cake and is now collecting cats. Don't bother asking him if he's alright, though. He'll either be decidedly mute or it'll be very tough to get him to talk without switching the topic. ]

This is exactly why I dislike this holiday...

[she lets him talk, frowning at his words. She still feels like he's not telling her everything]

Magical chocolates... Whatever happened, don't worry about it too much. The castle does all sorts of things to us.

[ He shakes his head and sighs as he looks up at her. ]

No, I've ruined everything, Hermione. I ... I told him I loved him, meant every word of it. And I had no right, no right at all to get all jealous at him over those girls he's been pawing after..

[she digests his words. She can't help but think of Remus and Sirius as she knew them, trying to reconcile that with the teenagers she knows now]

You two are best friends. If you felt that way, it was right for you to be honest about it. Even if castle magic forced it out of you.

[lupinotuum]

[ He scoffs softly. ]

There are a lot of things I'm not honest with them at all... He'll probably even be angry, that I hid such a thing from him. Or disgusted. One of the two...

[courageous_wit]

If he's disgusted, I promise I will personally slap him. And if he's angry, I hope he'll get over it.

[lupinotuum]

[ There's a slight twinge of a smile at the corners of his mouth at that. ]

What, no hexes or curses?

[courageous_wit]

I've found that peoplje respond better to physical force. But at the moment, I think you're jumping to conclusions. Let him digest this.

[lupinotuum]

You continue to surprise me everyday, you know that?

[ A sigh. ]

Perhaps I am, but they aren't unfounded. I doubt things will be the same as they were...

[courageous_wit]

No... They won't be the same. But your friendship has lasted through more than this. I have no doubt you'll work through this.
