A/N: As before…blah blah blah xD

Arriving at the library; determined to prefect the 'Doveterius' spell, Remus noticed that it was not empty as he had wished it to be. Lily Evans was sitting at a table with Severus Snape, he noticed that they were writing a potions essay, as they both had their copy of 'Potion-Making for Beginners', open on the table. Lily's bright red hair was sleek and straight, and it reached the bottom of her back."Sev?" She asked, "Can you help me" She was blushing as she handed her essay over to took the paper from her; he pushed his black hair from his eyes and laughed as he read her essay.

"What are you laughing at?"

"You can't mix this with this," he said, pointing to the ingredients she had written down, "They'd explode"

"Well, make it right then" she said giggling."I'm not doing for you" he handed the essay back to her. She reluctantly took the essay, and began scribbling down on her page once walked in quietly, not wanting to disturb them, but Lily noticed him, she waved, smiling at him and gestured for him to come over. Remus hesitated, but walked over and sat down at the table, facing opposite her. He looked into her emerald green eyes, and she smiled at him.

"Are you okay?"She asked.

"Fine" Remus replied, smiling, it was a happier smile this time, and Lily did not noticed that he was worried. "How are you?"

"Oh, I'm fine" she answered, "I just can't get the hang of this essay, plus Slughorn is giving us a lot of homework this year"

Professor Slughorn was their potions teacher, and had given the class so much homework over the last few days, that Lily and Severus were spending hours at a time in the library.

"I thought you were good at Potions?" Remus said, "You were always getting it right last year, when we had lessons together"

Lily blushed again, "Not always" She said, "Besides, it's harder this year."

Remus smiled at her as he opened his transfiguration book and took out his wand. "Doveterius", he said quietly. Nothing happened. "I've had enough of this!" he said angrily, "what am I doing wrong?"

"Be softer with your wand, don't flick it up so hard", Severus spoke suddenly. "Like this, 'Doveterius'" With a gentle wave and flick of his wand, the book turned instantaneously into a snow-white dove. Remus imitated Severus with a soft flick of his own wand, and the book did, indeed turn into a dove.

"Thanks"

"Anytime" Severus picked up his book, wand and quill, "Time for me to go I think" he added.

Lily got up too, "Yeah, I'm getting tired of this essay; I'll finish tomorrow" she said, "Coming, Remus?"

"No" he answered, "I think I'll practice some more, thanks"

Lily smiled; "Okay" she walked to the door with Severus, as she approached she turned and waved to Remus. He waved back, and he smiled to himself as he saw her skip out the door and turn down the corridor, Severus following her.

After about another hour, Remus has finally perfected the spell. "Doveterius" he whispered one last time. The book twisted into a dove and began fluttering around the quiet, deserted library. He looked out of the window, it was getting slightly dark, and he would have to head off for the hospital wing now, so Madam Pomfrey could accompany him down to the Whomping Willow, where the entrance of the Shrieking Shack was; he was to stay here for his left the library, and as he turned the corridor, he bumped into Professor Dumbledore, his long hair and beard pure-white, and his cloak looking almost as if it was floating as he walked.

"Oh, I'm sorry Professor" Remus said.

"No matter" said Dumbledore, waving away his apology. "Why are you out so late, Mr Lupin?" he thought it was strange to be called by his surname, but didn't say anything.

"I..erm..I was just…going to the…"

"..hospital wing?" Dumbledore finished for nodded. "Let us walk together"

They both walked side by side, Remus walked with his head down, not saying anything. "Is something the matter, Remus?" Dumbledore asked.

Remus shook his head, his eyes filling with tears.

"Something is bothering you"

"..ermm…I, I'm fine" Remus replied, stopped suddenly, Remus stopped beside him, head still down, not wanting Dumbledore to see his face. However, Dumbledore put his hand on Remus' shoulder; Remus looked up, tears falling down his face once again.

"I think it is about time you confide in your friends, Remus. They are worried about you-"

"I don't….they won't…"

"Want to be friends with you; because you are-"

"A werewolf"

"Merely different" said Dumbledore, "However, your friends' are extremely worried about you, I'm sure they won't think any less of you, if you tell them. You are their friend, Remus."

"I lied" Remus replied, "I lied to them"

"They will understand" Dumbledore smiled at him, Remus smiled back walked the remainder distance to the hospital wing in silence, with Dumbledore stopping at the door. "Here you are," he said quietly, opening the door and letting Remus inside.

"Thanks, Professor"
