and only now I realized that Remus arm was in a loop. 

"What happened to you?", I asked him, but he ignored my question and instead said: "I am so so sorry Katherine! I don't know how that happened, I really didn't want to-" He was interrupted by Peter, who punched him in the stomach before he could tell everyone his secret. Remus groaned and shut up about it, but still looked very guilty. 

"It's okay, Moony.", I told him and used his nickname on purpose: "It's not your fault. By the way, who did that to you?"

"Sirius. He fought me to get me away from you.", Remus said and these words made my heart beat faster. Sirius risked his life for me!

"I would have done the same, just that I would have used a spell, not an attack!", Peter added. "But I was busy with Isabella."

"Oh, where is she now?", I asked, surprised that I didn't remember before that she had been there as well. 

"Uhm, I put an 'Obliviate'- spell on her.", Aya told me and I looked at her in surprise: "You?" "Don't look so surprised, Scar!", Aya defended herself and I quickly said sorry. 

"What on earth is going on here?", Madame Pompfrey suddenly shouted and Peter and Aya zucken zusammen. "This is a hospital, not a place to put all your dirt! Get out, all of you!"

"But-", Sirius tried to defend the team, but Madame Pompfrey just waved her wand and shut him up. "Everyone out, I don't want to say it again!", she said, and this time everybody listened to her. 

"I will visit you tomorrow!", Aya whispered to me and then followed the guys and Lily out of the room. Madame Pompfrey cleaned up the mess on the floor and then went back into her office. 

"So it's just you and me now, huh?", James said and slowly turned his head to me. I smiled and nodded. "Yeah, but that's good, we haven't had a serious talk for a while." It was harder to talk than usual, probably because of the painkillers or because my body was healing and needed rest. 

"True, we should talk. What happened last night, I really can't remember-", James started saying, but in the middle of his sentence he fell asleep. He was probably hurt even worse than me, that beast really bit deep into his flesh and he bleed a lot from what I could remember. But what was their excuse going to be? Did they tell Dumbledore everything? Probably, he knew everything anyways and to make up a story to explain what happened to the head boy and captain of Gryffindor, they had to have help of the headmaster. Now that James fell asleep again and it was totally quiet in the room, except for two other students in the room, who whispered to each other, I felt that I was getting really tired as well. I saw that the sun outside was still shining, but when I closed my eyes, I didn't notice anything anymore, just the beautifully comfortable arms of sleep, that welcomed me.

"Scarrr. Kaatherine.", I heard someone say and when I opened my eyes I saw Remus at my bed. His arm was still in a loop, but he looked different from usual. When I looked out of the window, I could see that the sun had set and instead the moon and stars were in her place. The lights in the hospital wing were dimmed so that the patients could sleep, but Madame Pomfrey could still see something. 

"You are awake!", Remus prattled and now I saw what was different: he was completely drunk. His hair was more messy than James' and his eyes weren't really looking into mine. Also I could smell the Firewhiskey from half a meter from him. 
 

"Yes, I am awake.", I told him and yawned. "And you are drunk, so you should go to bed."

"No, no!", Remus said certain and tried to keep his voice from slurring, which he didn't really manage. "I want to tell you something, but I never can. I think-" He stopped in the middle of the sentence and looked at me again, holding my bed with his healthy arm to keep his balance. 

"You think what?", I asked and actually was afraid of what he was going to say. If it was so important but also personal that he could only tell me when he was drunk, then it must be something big. I just really hoped that it wasn't going to be the words 'I love you', because then I would have a problem. I would have to tell him that to me he wasn't more than a friend. Actually, I had never thought of him as anything more than a friend. 

"I might.. ", Remus started again, but he just couldn't say it. Without any warning, and without being prepared for it, he just leaned forward and pressed his lips on mine. His lips were incredibly soft and I kissed him back. We were both kissing very softly, testing the kiss and what it might turn out to be. He was an amazing kisser, from the moment that our lips locked to the moment that he let go, I could just close my eyes and enjoy it. Enjoy his lips on mine, his hand on my waist and mine in his messy hair. He did smell like alcohol, but in this moment it didn't matter to me. I just felt butterflies in my stomach and when he leaned back again, I left my eyes closed for a little bit longer, wanting more than this short time. 

"This is what I feel.", Remus simply stated and then he leaned forward again, but this time he gave me a kiss on my forehead. "I can understand if you don't feel the same, but I just had to tell you." With these words he lurched away from my bed and out of the hospital wing. I wasn't able to say anything, I could just smile and touch my lips with my fingers, wanting his lips to touch mine again.

Detention


Tue- 15. September 1977

 

Dumbledore had arranged that our Detention wasn't on the Friday, like Flitwick had asked, but on the Tuesday the week after, which was today. After the lessons had finished, Remus, Sirius, James, Lily, Peter, Isabella, Aya and I had to go to Flitwicks office for him to tell us what to do. Remus had his arm still in the loop, James had a scar on his stomach, and I still didn't know what to do about Remus' kiss. I had avoided him all Monday and today as well, only having the necessary conversation. Lily and James had been on their second date on Monday, but they still claimed that they weren't together and Aya and Fabian kissed on Saturday when they were both drunk. They acted like it never happened. 

"You have to ask him what it meant!", I told Aya again, probably the 100th time today. She rolled her eyes and just ignored me, opening the door to the office of our Professor.  I sighted and followed her inside, not knowing why she kept ignoring me when I asked that question. 

"Ah, very nice. There you all are. I have some nice things for you to do. No, not writing!", he said when we all sat down at tables and got out our quills. "No, no. I will split you up into groups of two and you will do some work for Mister Filtch."

Everyone from our group groaned, to do work for Mister Filch was always very boring and took a very long time. 

"Mister Potter and Miss Evans, you two will tidy up every broom cupboard in the third floor, that is ten, by the way. Without magic, of course! I hope that Lily can teach you some of her manners, if she has some left.", the Professor said, obviously not knowing that Lily and James were dating. Sirius exclaimed: "That is not fair! I would gladly tidy up every broom closet with Scar!" My heart beat faster, and when I looked at Sirius, he winked at me.  I knew that he meant 'making out with Scar', because that is what two people of the opposite sex usually did in a broom closet. Flitwick just ignored him, he probably didn't understand what he meant anyways. 

"So, Mister Black and Mister Pettigrew. You two will clean all the windows in the second floor-" 

"What? There are hundreds of windows in that floor!", Sirius protested, but Flitwick just smiled: "That, deer Mister Black, is why you will have the help of Mister Filch himself."  Sirius and Peter groaned at the same time and Professor Flitwick seemed to really enjoy this. 

"Miss Wright and Miss Wilson, you will clean the girls bathrooms in the first floor." I giggled when I thought about Aya cleaning a toilet. She already hated cleaning her own room, and a bathroom?

"But, Sir, that is the bathroom with the mourning Myrtle in it!", Isabella said, but the small men looked at her in a way that made her shut up. When I looked around, I realized that only Remus and I were left. Great. 

"Last but not least, Mister Lupin and Miss Pettigrew. You two will polish all the awards, trophies, shields and statues in the Trophy room. But don't dare to talk to the others in the third floor. You may go now and you can come back when you did your work. Mister Filch will check all of it and if he doesn't like it, then you will have to come back again another day. But that time it will be on the weekend. Go!", Flitwick finished and then made a gesture with his hands that told us all to get out now. 

"What happened to the nice, funny Flitwick?", James asked when we were all outside, but Lily just said: "I guess we went one step too far. Well actually you did, since I was just being high-fived and got detention for that!" Then she glared at Sirius and threw her hair over her shoulder. When we reached the stairs, Sirius, Peter, Aya and Isabella went downstairs while James, Lily, Remus and I stayed in the third floor. 

"Let's do this.", James said without any enthusiasm in his voice and made his way to the first broom coset, winking at Lily as he opened the door and stepped inside. 

"I guess that will be a snagging session?", I asked Lily, but she shook her head. "No! I only kissed him once, and I will definitely not reward him for getting detention. He is the head boy." Then she turned around and followed James into the small room. 

"Oh, they are definitely going to make out!", I laughed and then turned around, just to look at Remus. Damn it, I forgot that he was with me. 

"Maybe not, but maybe she will ignore him after he kisses her.", Remus stated with a cold voice and then walked toward the Trophy Room.

It had been half an hour that Remus and I stood in the Trophy Room, polishing everything that we could find. Now it even came in handy that my mother had made me clean up the house as a punishment for
