I looked around the station waiting to see anyone I knew. I was about to start Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, late. I had moved from Beauxbaton, my parents didn't want to live in France anymore and so had back to England. I was already in my school robes since my parent apperated us here. I thought I had caught a glimpse of someone I hadn't seen since moving to France. I quickly hugged my parent's goodbye before going the direction I thought I had seen him. When I reached there I couldn't find him... I must have imagined it. We had only talked through letters I didn't know what he looked like anymore.

I boarded the train looking for somewhere to sit but all the compartments seemed to be full. I was about to get annoyed and sit on the floor in a compartment, when I opened the door and was met with his golden eyes, the eyes of the boy I thought I wouldn't see again. I stepped backwards confused, shaking my head, I could feel the tears in my eyes. I had to have made a mistake.

"Are you ok?" His voice filled my ears as I looked down. It can't be him, I must be mistaken. I couldn't meet the strangers eyes as I replied, it would only make things worse.

"I'm fine, it's just you look like someone I haven't seen in six years"

"Moony, she's upset. Bring her in and sit her down. I bet the train is nearly full anyway" I felt his warm hands press against my arm, leading me into the compartment. I sat down, still refusing to meet any of their eyes. "What's your name, love?"

"April Heller"

"Did you just say April Heller" I nodded slowly. I knew who had asked, his voice was etched into my brain. "As in April Showers"

My head snapped up to look at him, eyes wide. How could he...? My sea blue eyes met his golden ones, willing it to be true. "How could you know that name? Unless..." I studied his face carefully, there are more scars then before, I reached out and brushed my fingers against one that I knew had been there before, the small one on his left cheek bone. "I'm so sorry Wolf" tears came to my eyes as I was pulled into a hug. I giggled when I realised that he still smelt of chocolate with an earthy smell underneath. He could never resist chocolate, I pulled away realising we were being stared at. I smiled, "Wolfy these wouldn't happen to be the Marauders, that you can't stop talking about in our letters would it?" I saw the rest of their eyes light up but Remus frowned.

"Yes they are, what are you planning?" I tried my best to look offended as I pulled my black hair into a pony tail, I knew he wouldn't fall for it but it was worth a try.

"I'm guessing..." I paused as I pointed to the boy with stormy eyes, "Sirius Black," I turned my point to the boy with glasses and annoyingly messed up hair, "James Potter," I patted the last one, who was sitting next to me, a mousy boy, "Peter Pettigrew"

"Correct on each" Sirius stated surprised but still attempting to be charming. They all looked at Remus then back to me. I shifted myself so I was resting my head on his lap looking up at him, my legs bent so that I wasn't on Peter as well.

"So how do you know each other?" James asked. I sighed turning to James.

"Before I tell you that story, Wolfy have you told them about your condition?" He nodded. I sighed, "Good, I don't think I could deal with them not knowing the truth when they mean so much to you..."

"I thought we agreed you wouldn't call me Wolfy anymore? And you don't have to tell them everything if you don't want to" I smiled at the first part meeting his gaze. However the second part made me sit up and pull my hair out so it covered my face, "you still have the nightmares don't you? Don't think of lying you did the hair thing" I sighed and nodded slowly. The others shared a worried look. I decided to ignore Remus' comment. "You're probably wondering why Remus it touchy about people being around his..." I couldn't think of a phrase that doesn't just blurt his secret out to anyone who might be listening.

"Fury little problem?" I laughed when Peter said that. It was obvious that's what they called his condition.

"That sounds like he has a misbehaving rabbit" I looked at Remus, who smiled at me, he knew what was coming "like Tiddles, my rabbit, she used to bite everyone. Anyway yes, he's so wary about it because of me. When we were younger, we used to sneak out to continue playing together, we lived next door to each other, our parents knew but didn't say anything. Well anyway, one night, a full moon, a few weeks after our fathers, mostly mine, had said something to Grayback. A werewolf attacked us, it was after me because of my father's prejudice views about them. Remus saved me, we were only about 4 maybe 5 but he was so brave even then. The werewolf bit Remus then tossed him to the side unconscious before coming after me again..." I started to tear up, I wouldn't let myself cry in front of the Marauders. Well, maybe Wolfy later but not now.

"April, then saved herself and me by causing a shower of fire around us. I was still conscious enough to see it, it was beautiful considering. She always loved causing showers of things, flowers, water, leaves, but it was the first time she had done fire."

"And the last. I refused to cast magical showers after that unless Wolfy made me. I had nightmares of the night and how I had caused Remus his pain every full moon. If I hadn't have asked him to play outside and unlocked our windows, it wouldn't have happened" I could feel all the boys look at me, I felt even worse it was my fault that Remus would never feel close to them, my fault that Remus was so stubborn and protective of his secret.

There was a knock at the door, a girl with hair like fire and emerald green eyes walked in, panicked by something. I squished closer to Remus hoping she wouldn't notice me.
