Private to Remus
Damn, I'm nervous.
Asking birds out wasn't this hard.
But then, if they said no, there was always another one waiting.
There is no other Remus.
I am by myself here in the common room, waiting for Rem to get his potions homework. This is as good a time as any to ask him.
The thing that worries me most is if someone else has asked him already. While we were apart for those weeks. Bella made it quite clear that she thought him to be fair game.
I hear the dorm door slam and he bounds down the steps toward me.
"Um... Rem..." I start, not even able to look at him.
