"Okay Molly, let's talk about cheese." I say, shaking my head slowly. "Do you like cheese, Izzy? What's your favourite cheese, Molly?" I laugh.

"Chedder." I say without hesitating and then blushing when i realise Remus was joking about the cheese thing and that i had just said something pretty stupid in front of him.

"Really?" I said turning even redder. Oh my god Remus Lupin likes the same cheese as me i think wildly then stop after thinking how pathetic i sound.

I laugh. "No need to blush Izzy. Nothing wrong with liking Cheddar."
Although, something James had said was niggling in the back of my mind.
The real reason why she was blushing.
I remembered James saying that I should consider just how much Izzy might like me.
I feel myself start to turn red too.

I try to control my flaming cheeks and force a laugh. But then i watch as Remus blush too. I wonder why he's blushing i think to myself.
I try to think of a way to change the subject quickly.
"How come your ill every month." I ask.

"That's an-...an interesting...interesting question." I mumble. "And there's an explanantion...it's a good explanation...it explains...erm...everything...but..." I draw a blank on any explanation or lie I could give her. "Why do you come up with these questions?" I settle on, trying to change the subject, grinning hopefully. "How on earth do you manage to put me on the spot all the time?"

"You're dodging my question Remus." I state but then look and his nervous face and smile."You don't have to tell me if you don't want to. But whatever it is, it doesn't matter to me." I say looking into his eyes searching for the side of him that always hides.

"It's not that I don't want to tell you Izzy..." I stutter guiltily. "'Cos I do...sometimes. It's just-...I can't tell you. Do you understand that?"
I find I can't look at her as I say this.

I watch as he stutters turning his face away from me. I take hold of his face and turn it towards me "Remus whatever it is you can trust me, but i'm sure you can tell me in your own time." I give him a small smile and look at the floor.

She drops her eyes to the floor and I feel so bad that I almost told her there and then.
Then I stop myself, reminding myself that others couldn't know, that I wouldn't be accepted, that I'd be shunned again.
I wanted Izzy to talk to me.
I liked Izzy talking to me.
"Don't be like that, please...I'm sorry, Izzy..."

"Don't worry about it..." I say still speaking to the floor "...It's your secret to tell who you wish to tell." I look at him and smile weakly.

"Oh, talk about guilt trip." I say, smiling weakly. "I really wish I could tell you, I really do. I just wouldn't know how, and I wouldn't want anything to change between us, you know?"

"Nothing you tell me would change anything Remus." I said looking into his eyes and think 'nothing you could say would ever change how i feel about you.' But i know thats something i would never say out loud to anyone.

"I'd like to think that way but..." I say. "I don't know about this. If there's one thing that can change everything...even come between friends...it's this."

"Gosh Remus are you like a secret vampire or something. Whatever it is i don't care as long as i know i can at least try to help you, because i know the real Remus whatever else there is just like a side order of something" I say trying to smile

"Hmm..." I mumble non-committedly.
How close had she come there?
Vampire?
Guess again Izzy, guess again.
"Hmm...maybe you would care about this. People do. And it can't be helped. It doesn't really matter at all."

"Maybe you don't know me as well as i thought you did." I say as i turn away and start to look at the owls that are for sale. He was hiding something big that he is frightend to tell people. Was he a vampire in secret. Or maybe something else i think as i look over my shoulder at his scars with a puzzled look on my face.

"It's not that Izzy, I do know you." I say, turning her back to face me. "I know you're smart and kind and funny and...and I know you. But-...I don't want you of all people to think less of me. I know you wouldn't...but I don't want to risk it..."

"It's alright." I say quietly looking him straight in the eye and smiling. "You really don't have to tell me, sorry if i was being pushy.I just sometimes wish i could see the side of you that you never seem to show." I say brushing some of the hair out of his eyes.

"Mystery. I thought girls liked a bit of mystery?" I smirk, trying to change the subject to anything but my secret.

"Of course we do." I say smiling, seeing that he wanted to change the subject. "So what are you doing for the rest of the day?." I ask.

"Er...this. Wandering around, making a nuisance of myself by talking to people, that sort of thing." I shrug. "You?"

"Nothing much, mind if i join you in your nuisance making." I say with a grin.

"Great." I say and blushed, something was seriously wrong with my cheeks today. I wish they would stop heating up. "Where do you want to go?" I ask.

"It could be better." I say sadly thinking of what it would be like if Remus liked me back. "How's yours?"
