Angel walked around the grounds with nothing to do. She was a little bored but not too much, which was a little surprising since she was only walking around. She sat on the ground under a big tree and thought about everything that had happened to everyone over the past few weeks. Nothing seemed the same anymore. It was as if Hogwarts itself had changed in some way or another due to the people inside it.

I sat in a tree in the grounds, book balanced on my lap, not really being able to focus on reading for once. I let my gaze wonder across the grounds, which were empty, surprisingly, then see they weren't quite empty because there was a girl I hadn't met on the floor beneath the tree I was in. "Hey," I say to her, deciding it was best to have a valid distraction other than I couldn't focus.

Angel's head snapped up to the tree and she smiled, waving to whoever was in the tree. "Hi. What are you doing up there?"

I hold up my book, "Transfiguration. Studying. Bored."

"Why study?" Angel asked. "Just a waste of time."

Post by Remus Lupin on Jul 30, 2007 9:45:52 GMT
"I like studying." I reply.

"If you like it so much then why are you bored?" Angel asked, eyebrow raised. "Seems like you don't like it all that much."

"I'm bored because I can't focus. You know, like when you try and read and just end up reading the same sentence over and over again? Kind of like that."

"I hate it when that happens," Angel sighed. "Come down here, we can talk."

I drop down from the branch and sit cross-legged next to her, "I'm Remus by the way."

"Angel," she smiled. "Aren't you the one who married Rin?"

"Yes, yes I am." I smile.

"Sorry I couldn't make the wedding," Angel said. "I was busy having my life screwed up but congratulations."

"That's okay. And thanks. Yeah, a lot of lives are being screwed up at the moment. What happened in yours?"

"Oh, nothing much," Angel shrugged. "Been tortured three times, got married and had two kids be murdered, husband cheated on me with two people and one of them was a guy and now my husband has gone off somewhere and I have no idea where he is. See? Nothing much."

"Shit, I thought I had it bad." I mutter. "Well, if it's any consolation, which I doubt it will be, you've just thrown my life into perspective."

"Why did you think you had it bad?" Angel asked sadly.

I shrug, "I'm ill, let's leave it at that."

"Oh," Angel sighed. "I won't pry and keep asking. If you want to keep it private then go ahead."

"Thanks, it's appreciated." I smile slightly, "Right now, I'm just glad to be home again. Been off with the Order for ages. Except everything seems to have changed around here."

"That's what I keep thinking although everyone seems to disagree with me," Angel shrugged. "They say 'Hogwarts is the same as always and it'll stay the same forever' or something like that anyway."

"Well, that's just bollocks. You just have to look at the students here to know it's not the same."

"Thank you!" Angel yelled, glad that someone finally agreed with her. "You tell that to everyone else."

"I would. But I doubt they'd listen to me."

Angel shrugged. "Know that feeling."

"The quiet and often ignored voice of reason. That's what we are."

"Unfortunately," Angel sighed, agreeing with him. "Sucks being like that."

"Yeah, pretty much. Kind of satisfying to say 'I told you so' when people realised you're right though."

"One of the highlights of my day," Angel laughed.

"Mine too." I laugh.
