Chapter 1 - Silent Love.
It was nearing the end of the term for the four friends that called themselves The Marauders. It was their 7th year and everyone was anticipating the ending year, but they were even more anxious for it was the last time they would be together at Hogwarts.
As many of the lower class were stressing about their finals the 7th years were preparing to take their N.E.W.T.s. James and Sirius sat in the common room full of people who were feverishly studying. They were both playing a game of Exploding Snap and Peter was sitting next to Sirius engrossed in the game his fellow Marauders were playing.
As the night waged on the common room began to empty as exhausted studiers went to their dorms to try and sleep. Sirius leaned back in his chair stretching his legs out. "Where the hell is Remus?" he asked running his hand through his thick black hair. "He's been down in that library forever."
"He's actually worried that he's not going to do well on his N.E.W.Ts." James chuckled. And as he spoke the portrait hole opened and Remus stepped through accompanied by another 7th year that the others never really spoke to.
"Well I am sure that you will do fine. You got just about everything I quizzed you on correct," Remus said to the girl as they stopped at the staircase that lead to the girl's dorms. She was about 6 or 7 inches shorter than he was, and had wavy blonde hair that reached to her chin.
Looking up slightly so she could make eye contact she smiled at his reassurance. "Well thank you Remus. I hope you do well also. Goodnight." She began to climb the steps to her dorm.
"Goodnight," he said as he watched her climb the steps. He turned away from the stairs and took a seat in one of the chairs where the rest of the Marauders were sitting. "What?" he asked noting their stares.
Sirius stood dramatically. "I'm sure you'll do fine. You are perfect you know." he said mocking Remus. At this James also stood to join in on the dramatic reenactment of their friend's exchange with the blonde girl.
"Well thank you so much. You will do fine also. Just think about how much I love you and you won't miss a question. Goodnight." James said throwing his arms around dramatically as he spoke.
"Goodnight my love." Sirius said placing his hands over his heart. He then blew a kiss to James who swooned falling back into his chair with a girly squeal. Peter sat there laughing as his to favourite friends mocked Remus.
"Ha Ha. I get it." Remus said, his voice drenched with sarcasm as James and Sirius burst into fits of laughter. "You're wrong you know. We are merely friends. She was worried that she wasn't going to do well on her N.E.W.Ts." He said matter-of-factly.
"Oh yeah. What's her name?" asked Sirius with a sly smile.
"Her name is Rebekah and maybe if you paid more attention in class you would know her. She has some of the highest marks in every one of her classes." he said a bit angered by their teasing.
"Oh Rebekah." Sirius returned to his dramatic antics. "Rebekah your name is like the soft wind on the moonless night."
"Hey that's a good line Sirius." James said with an approving nod.
"I do what I can." Sirius said shrugging. "So Remus how long have you been madly in love with Miss Rebekah?"
"I don't love her. We are just friends. We were studying together nothing less nothing more." he said in a hard tone trying to convince his friends that he didn't have romantic feelings for Rebekah. These attempts proved futile as his friends continued to tease him, receiving angry hushes from the remaining students studying in the common room.
But as his friends continued to tease him he sat there knowing that they were right. He did have feelings for Rebekah but couldn't bring himself to do anything about it. She was so beautiful in his eyes and deserved someone better not some monster like him.
"Hey!" James yelled disrupting Remus from his thoughts. "Remus are you coming to bed?" he said. Remus noticed his three best friends standing and looking at him with concerned faces. The common room was now empty except for them.
"Uh, Yeah I'll be right there." he said still a little lost in his thoughts. Sirius, James, and Peter all walked over to the steps to the boy's dorms and ascended. He was about to get up and follow them when he heard someone coming down the steps to the girl's dorms.
"Oh. Remus, I didn't expect anyone to still be awake." her tone was surprised as she saw him sitting in his chair near the fireplace. "I couldn't sleep. I'm still so nervous about these N.E.W.T.s." Rebekah walked over and sat in the chair that Sirius had been sitting in. She was wearing a light pink dressing gown and Remus felt she looked more beautiful than ever.
"Well no matter how prepared I am for a test I still get nervous." Remus looked into her eyes that seemed to be filled with what he took to be worry. "You never really feel comfortable until you are actually finished with the test with the grades in your hand."
She smiled at him placing her hand on his. His skin shivered with her soft touch and he looked deeply into her eyes. "You know Remus you always know what's going on in my head. I do hope that after School is over we could still keep in touch. I would hate to loose you as a friend just because we aren't in school anymore."
Remus' heart fell. "I will definitely keep in touch with you." he was pleased that she wanted to still be friends with him after school but was disappointed to find she didn't see him as anymore than a friend. "Well I hate to leave you here by yourself but I need to try and sleep. Goodnight Rebekah."
"Goodnight Remus." She said as he walked up the stairs to the dorm. Changing into his pajamas and settling into his bed he drifted to sleep.
The next few days were so hectic with all the exams. He never got a chance to talk to her the same way while he was at Hogwarts. The last night in the common room she had said hello to him as her friend Sadie was dragging her along sobbing and hugging all the people she was going to miss. The next day they boarded the Hogwarts Express for the last time and traveled to King's Cross Station to return home.
