Kassidy sighed as she made her way through the crowd of students, she was looking for a face and she didn't know exactly where to find him. 'This is ludicrous,' she thought maneuvering so not to run into people. 'how did I get here?'

As Kassidy squeezed through the crowded halls she reminisced…

Kassidy sat nervously at the old man, who was sitting across from her peering out from under his half moon spectacles. His silver hair was a sriking contrast with his vibrant purple and red robes. She knew he would ask about how she managed to get here, wherever that was.

'Fuck if I know.' She said beginning to shift under his gaze.

Kassidy had known it would be a crappy day, just how much of a bad day was beyond her, and it wasn't even over yet. She had woken up late that day due to the fact that she had set her alarm to 8 pm instead of 8 am, and consequently woke up at 9 o'clock.

Kassidy distincly remembered running around in her room throwing on clothes and shoving stuff into her book bag like mad. She had been halfway out the door when she remembered her English paper. It was in her English book that was under her bed. Why was it there? She had no idea.

But Kassidy hadnt just find her book. Oh no, she had found herself in a woods then had gotten chased by giant spiders until she had come into clearing where she passed out.

Kassidy had woken up in a hospital looking room in a bed to find the old man standing by her bed, she really wasn't prepared for what Albus Dumbledore told her…

"Remus Lupin?" Kassidy ask coming up next to a sandy haired boy who was standing next to the tree in the courtyard.

"Yes," He said a bit startled that she would approach him.

"Um, hi. I'm Kassidy Barlow." Kassidy begin extending her hand, he shook it curiously. "I was told by Professor McGonagall that you could help me with understanding all this stuff." She said flourishing her hand to her books. "You don't have to if you don't want but I'm kind of scared to ask anyone in my house-"

"I'll be happy to," Remus said, and he was. He'd been meaning to talk to her since the beginning of the term but was too shy to approach her.

Kassidy gave him smile. "You are a god among men,"

He shrugged. "When did you need help?"

"Whenever you're free," She told him shifting her books causing one to drop.

Remus instinctively picked it up and handed it back to her.

"Once again, thanks."

He smiled shyly.

"So are you free tonight?" Kassidy asked praying he was. She had a big essay that need to be done, and she had no idea how to get it done right.

He nodded.

"Can you meet me in the library at seven?"

"I'll be there," He said causing Kassidy to bite her lower lip in nervous anticipation, he was kinda cute.

'man is he going to think I'm stupid.' She thought wryly.

"So, I'll see you then," She said taking a step backwards and turning around knocking full force into James Potter.

"Watch it will you?" He said crossly as Kassidy bend down to pick up the books she'd dropped.

"Tell me Potter, do you work at being an ass or does it come naturally?" She asked once again securing her books and standing up.

"Don't you have a date with Snape?" He snapped back.

"Why yes I do, thanks for reminding me." Kassidy told him walking off. "Oh," She said turning back around. "I would have apologized about running into if you had given me a chance."

James glared after her.

"So what did she want with you?" James asked Remus turning his attention to his friend.

"Nothing really," Remus lied. He didn't really feel like getting the micky taken out of him right now.

"You're an awful liar," James informed noting how Remus glanced at Kassidy's retreating figure.

"What's going on?" Sirius asked coming up next to them.

"Remus was seen talking with said Slytherin enemy Kassidy Barlow." James told his friend.

"About what?" Sirius asked curiously.

"Nothing," Remus told them shifting his book bag uncomfortably.

"Aw, come on mate, you can do better." Sirius informed knowing exactly what his friend thought, and he didn't blame Remus one bit.

James nodded enthusiastically. "What about Sarah Jorns?" He offered.

Sirius nodded in agreement. "Not bad, great legs."

"No thanks," Remus declined. He hated how the two of them were always trying to set him up.

"Not that Barlow doesn't have great legs," Sirius interjected. "or a good arse, cause she does."

James nodded in agreement, there was no denying the facts.

"But she's a slytherin and it's a known fact that our houses don't get along."

"Yea, and she has that scar on her arm, you don't want to go with someone who has an ugly thing like that do you?" James asked his friend.

"Will you two stop it?" Remus asked. Honestly, if those two weren't trying to fix him up with someone…

"You don't really like her do you?" James asked.

"Sirius seems to," Remus said.

"I like LOOKING at her not TALKING to her, big difference." Sirius defended.

"Well it's not anything about that, if you two put half the effort on studying as you do as trying to get a girl-"

"We'd be like you." James finished.

Remus shook his head. "If you'll excuse me, I have an essay about goblin wars to write."

"I'm kind of worried about him," James told Sirius as Remus walked off.

"Aw he'll be fine, besides," Sirius said grinning. "Annie Pye is heading this way." James smiled as the Ravenclaw Captain came up to them.

Later that evening Kassidy sat in the library trying to think about if she'd written her essay correctly, she had been racking her brains and nothing would come back to her. "This is so fucking gay," She muttered throwing the quill down and rubbing her forehead trying to focus, the homework was giving her a headache. 'I hate school.'

"Need any help?" Remus asked as he sat down across from her, it was exactly seven.

"I'm failing," Kassidy said with a groan. She hated essays, she hated anything that had to do with forming a correct grammatical sentence.

Remus reached over the table, took the parchment and began to read it.

"Not bad," He said, but his tone was unconvincing. 'This is horrible,' He thought but he didn't want to put her down.

"You don't have to be nice, I know it sucks." Kassidy assured frowning. "Professor Slughorn is ridiculous; I mean can you really make a potion that can save you from death? Because that would've come in handy many a times." She told him as she swept her hand up the feather tip. "And what is up with the feathers? I need a pen."

Remus smiled sympathetically. "Potions is a bit difficult at first but it will get easier, and your essay really isn't too bad. But as for a pen, I don't know what that is."

Kassidy laughed. "Sorry, I'm just freaking out. Its just I was always told that this whole world didn't exist and now…"

Remus nodded in understanding, he knew that's how most Muggles felt when they got to
Hogwarts. "Now about this essay," He began scanning through it again trying to tell her what needed fixed first. "It would help if you would write about where Brogus is found."

"I did," Kassidy told him taking the paper away. "Okay so I didn't." she contradicted scanning it to not find Brogus mentioned anywhere on the paper.

"That's why I'm here." Remus told her.

"And I owe you the world," Kassidy said adding it on the parchment. She smiled as she scribbled down where Brogus is found and what its properties for making Elixer were.

Kassidy had lied about McGonagall, while Minerva had mentioned he was a good student she never suggested he be her tutor. Kassidy actually saw something about him, something dark and secretive in his eyes, and it was attractive. And she really was scared to ask anyone else in her house as they were all creepy and potentially very evil people.

True he was about 27 years older than she was since it was 1974 and she was born is 1985. So she wasn't even born, Avenue Q wasn't around yet and John Lennon was still alive! It was a blast to the past and most inconvient for Kassidy since she only knew the things that weren't invented.

Kassidy glanced up to see Remus staring at her but then he blushed and looked away when he noticed she saw. She stifled a laugh by biting her lower lip and went back to writing the essay.

Remus liked to watch Kassidy do homework, her intensity and enthusiasm on learning things and doing things right was refreshing, especially compared to his friends, who were very intelligent but didn't seem to want to expand their knowledge.

"Question," Kassidy said stopping and staring at the words she had just written down. "Do you spell Brogus, b-r-o-g-u-s or b-r-o-g-o-u-s?"

"b-r-o-g-u-s," Remus told her with a smile, being her tutor would be interesting to say the least…the very least…
