Disclaimer: I own nothing but Andriana Lyn Rose.

Summary:Its the Marauders final year and they wonder whats to come during the night. Focus on Remus and OC but others are important and played.

Extra:I might make this into something more but for now it's a one shot. I do a have plot for the rest but I'm not great at getting things typed down within a good amount of time at the moment.

After

"Remus?" Andriana asked her voice calm and warm in the night's brisk air. It was near the end of May, close to midnight and the full moon hadn't been a week gone. Her only response was when a sandy haired boy with the most stunning and knowing eyes sat down next to her. They were the same age eighteen and their feet dangled off the edge of the Astronomy Tower ever so close to falling right off.

He looked over at her, her eyes lost in the stars, with a small smile he knew what this was about and it wasn't something he liked much either. Actually he hated it but found comfort that she was safe and his friends would be beside him.

Andriana's eyes shone from reflecting the light of the moon in unshed tears. She was so lost in the stars, Remus moved gently, so not to spoke her. He moved the dark hair to behind her ear, she smiled at his touch.

"What is it?" He asked so quietly she almost didn't hear it.

"What will you do after Hogwarts?" Her voice was steady but it was filled with worry and dread. Remus slipped his hand into hers' and felt it shake and tighten. Andriana's face was washed with worry.

"The war is already bad, I'm going to help and Dumbledore…he has some plans for me." He stumbled over the words. She shut her eyes.

"What kind of plans?" She knew the answer; they had gone over it before. She just didn't want it to be true, she wanted all those times before to be a lie, and most of all, she didn't want him to say it but she needed it. She needed to know if it was true this one last time.

He squeezed her handed reassuringly, "Spying." He said truthfully with a frown. It was quiet for a moment as the wind brushed past and both were lost in thoughts of that word.

"No." He answered without thinking, who would want to spy. Risking not only his own life, Remus was going to risk losing himself in lies and most likely lose trust in both parties, but he would have his friends. "But I will. I told you I wanted to help and the ministry won't let me be an Auror because I'm a werewolf. Plus," He added sadly, "No one in the Order really trust me." She frowned and turned to look him in the eyes.

"The Order trusts you, Remus, I trust you." She reminded him and both were silent this time lost in each other. "Remus, I want to know you'll be alright. That when I lea…when I go that you'll be happy and having the life you want."

Remus shook his head and gently pulled her off the edge of the tower and towards the stirs. She stopped him there, "Remus?"

"The life I want is one with you, but I don't want to risk hurting you." She looked so hurt; Remus gave her a grim smile before pulling her into his arms, "I'll be in good hands, my friends' hands. I'll be fine." He ensured her. As they pulled apart, their hands found each other again. They started down the stairs.

They were a floor above the Gryffindor's common room when Adriana spoke again. "I don't want to leave, you know?" Her voice was quiet just above a whisper and it made Remus wonder if she meant to say it all.

"I want you to leave." He answered, "It's safer." It was all he had to say and her tears came. He pulled her into his arms once more and let her cry. It was the right thing; Remus told himself, she would be better off. Safe, she would be safe.

She pulled away from him and together they walked to the common room of Gryffindor; she was a Ravenclaw but had taken up residents with Remus some time ago. They entered the room to a still blazing fire.

Three more boys and a redheaded girl sat there, they had been talking but were quiet now. Remus briefly thought if this was what it would be like when he was spying. Would he enter a room as it fell silent? Hopefully not like now, not with his friends.

"Remus." Sirius, a tall and very handsome young Black with sterling silver eyes, said joyfully. He was acting and it was welcomed. The couple joined him on the couch while Peter, an average looking boy with a boyish charm to him, sat to their right in an armchair.

"Sirius, what are you guys doing up?" Remus asked. It was routine question, one meant to hold the past in but it was met with thoughts.

"What are you four doing after school?" Andriana finally asked looking not at the room but at her hand intertwined with Remus'.

"Aurors." James, a young man with hair sticking out in every direction and bent glasses covering his soft brown eyes, sitting in the last armchair with his girlfriend in his lap said. Lily, a stunning young woman with waves of scarlet hair smiled at him. "And marriage." James added looking up at her. The group smiled softly and gave small congratulations.

"I'll be fighting my family." Sirius stated after a moment looking into the fire. Remus' hand went to his friend's shoulder.

"I'm going to be on the winning side." Peter interjected innocently; his faith warmed the others' hearts. Peter was watching the group, how terrible this war was going to be.

"We all will." James added and Peter wondered how true that was. He tried to smile, to agree, with James but found he couldn't. Andriana wanted to agree as well but she wasn't even going to be in the war! She was going to pretend it wasn't happening and move away to someplace safe and pray for them. She was such a coward but thought this was true, Andriana felt like she was doing the right thing.

"What will you do, Andy?" Lily asked the thinking room. "I mean in America." Sirius' and James' eyes flashed but surprisingly, unlike the times before, they didn't say anything. Remus was grateful for that for they just didn't understand. They didn't know why Andriana was leaving and Remus didn't plan on telling them.

"Get a job. Pray. There isn't a lot I can do." She answered.

"As long as you're safe, it's enough." Remus commented catching a few in the group off guard, Andriana just smiled at him. His hand twitched to her stomach but laid still in his lap. James' quick eyes from quidditch caught the quick movement and smiled warmly at his friend. He understood the beginning and sitting there with Lily in his lap it was really all he need to know why Remus was letting Andriana leave and why Andriana was going to leave.

Lost in a pair of eyes or thoughts, the group sat in a late night silence, the kind when even the forest itself is asleep, wondering about the days to come.
