`diving into life |remus-james|

[Evelyn Thomas]

she ran. as fast as she could, she ran. it was a great feeling for her. evie needed to get away. so she ran. right to the black lake, and without stopping, she dived in. the way the water felt against her skin relaxed her in a way that nothing else could. she emerged from the black lake and walked out. she took a deep breathe and sat down under the tree beside it. she thought about random things; school work, after hogwarts, her mom, her dad, her little brother jules, her little sister alexia, and a few other things and people crossed her mind.

evelyn sat for a moment longer, thinking about everything that came to her mind once more before standing up and stretching. she stretched for a while, hoping it would clear her mind. then she began feeling uncomfortable about a thought that kept going through her mind. as an attempt to clear her mind once more, evelyn dived back into the black lake and took her time coming back up.

[Remus-James Black]

What have you done to me?

The black lake held a certain appeal to Remus-James, and it wasn't just about the pretty mermaids. He was strange in this way, although he didn't like to admit it, and just sitting near the edge of the water thinking was something he did a lot. He was almost completely shielded by the reflection of the tree. He had been sitting there for quite some time; so the sun had shifted and he was now completely under the shade.

That's when he saw her. His eyes spotted her right away. It was impossible not to notice her, she was positively glowing and as she ran, her brown hair glinted in the sun. He couldn't remember ever wanting something so much, but then again, he wouldn't admit this to her. The girls were usually the prey, and him the predator but he couldn't seem to shake the feeling that she was just as much a predator as him lately. He wondered if he should jump in after her, a thought that practically made him smirk. He snapped out of thinking mode almost immediately after he thought about it.

Jumping up and striding closer to where she was, Remus wolf whistled playfully, as she dived in.
A moment passed before he realized she was taking too long to resurface. Panic was beginning to bubble inside of him; mixed with something that felt like courage. He removed his shirt without a second thought and dived in where she had before. He opened his eyes and adjusted as the ice water tingled against them and then he saw her, swimming back up, perfectly fine. He decided to pass it off as he was going for a swim too, and resurfaced, splashing his hair out of his face.

evie stayed under the water for a while. opening and closing her eyes as she looked around at the underwater life. sometimes she wished she could live in the black lake. but then. . she wouldn`t have what she had now, would she? evie was almost at the surface when she saw somebody dive in. a guy, in most of his clothes, except a shirt. she didn`t really know. all she saw was him toned body. "damn!" she mouthed before resurfacing. she cleared her eyes and waited to see who it was that had dived in. then she saw him and she yelped. "remus!" she said, before covering her mouth. "shit. shit. shit!" she muttered after she realized she was only in her two piece.

she debated whether she should keep up her huge confidence act and get out the lake, bearing only her bathing suit, or if she should just go back under. she smiled over at him. "uhmm. . .hey." she said before deciding that going back over would only last so long and that she`d have to get out eventually. she swam gracefully to the edge of the lake and climbed out. "how are you?" she asked as she transfigured a leaf into a towel and began gently wiping the water off herself.
