**Remus POV**
"Hand me the jelly Prongs!"
"I'm not done with it Padfoot!"
"Can I have it after you ?"
"Sure, Wormtail- GIVE IT BACK PADFOOT!"
"No! Mine!"
Remus smiled slightly to himself as he chewed on a piece of bread. The banter of his friends was comforting, especially due to the fact that the full moon was in left then a weak. The moon always enhanced his senses, gave him a more wolfish attitude.
Finishing his toast, he checked the watch he kept in his pocket, much to the amusement of his fellow Marauders, and stood up. "I'll meet you in class." He said quickly over Sirius and James's argument over the Jelly. They replied with chorused Okays and then Remus was on his way.
He skimmed over his schedule without really paying attention.
MONDAY - REMUS J. LUPIN – 4TH YEAR – GRYFFINDOR

LUNCH
Lesson four – Transfiguration
Lesson five – Defense Against the Dark Arts
Smiling at his luck, he walked down the familiar path to the Charms classroom, taught by scrawny Professor Flitwick. Not that his size mattered, he was a friendly man, and a good teacher. Along the way he passed a familiar face, Lily Evans.
"Good Morning Remus." She said happily, probably because James wasn't there.
"Morning Lily. What's your first class?" Remus replied automatically.
"Um… Double Charms. You?" She said, checking her schedule.
"Same. Care to walk to class together?" The redhead nodded, beginning to walk. He fell in step with her easily, having grown 4 inches over the summer. They conversed about pointless things on the way to the classroom; the weather, what they had done over the summer, Lily's vacation, classes, and a couple other subjects. The green eyed girl had just ended describing a story in which her father tried Frog's Legs when they arrived at the classroom, early.
"Good Morning Miss Evans, Mister Lupin." The small professor said, nodding. "You can check for your assigned seats up here. He motioned towards a couple roles of parchment with various names written on it. Lily got there first, and her face lit up.
"Who are you by?" Remus asked, looking over the parchment.
"Alice! I'm glad I didn't get… some prat." It was obvious to Remus though that she had meant James. And honestly he agreed. Prongs was an amazing friend, but he couldn't stay focused.
"Who are you by Remmy?" The redhead wondered aloud. Remus searched the final part of the parchment to find that he was sitting by someone he wasn't familiar with. Echolynne Pierce… thinking hard, the image of a raven haired girl almost slapping Sirius came into his mind.
"Echolynne Pierce." Lily looked at him with what seemed to be pity. "Do you know her?" He asked, making his way back to his seat towards the far end of the classroom.
"A little. She's quiet… she seems to have a bad temper. She isn't very… friendly. It's almost like she hates everyone. She doesn't have many friends either, besides Aimee Sortia, she's in our year too. There both in my dorm." From what Remus had observed of her the other day, this seemed correct, though he couldn't help but remember the defeated look upon her face after she had thought the other marauders and him had left.
"Oh." Not knowing what else to say, the blonde werewolf sat down and took out some spare bit of parchment for note-taking. Checking his watch once again, he noticed that everyone should be arriving now. And he was right.
The classroom soon filled up. Remus looked around once everyone except a few were there, and saw Sirius sitting by a particularly busty Hufflepuff, James and Peter had managed to get seats by each other. Then he saw the one he'd been waiting for.
Echolynne. She walked into the classroom with a cold look on her face, glancing at a few particularly loud Hufflepuff boys and saw a few of them blanch. Was this really the effect she had on people? Remus watched as she checked the parchment, and then glanced back where he was sitting, meeting his eyes.
That was the thing that unnerved him the most, her eyes. Everything about her screamed danger, stay away, except for her eyes. They seemed to radiate hurt and loneliness. But that was silly, he didn't even know her. As she sat down, he turned to her.
"Good Morning." The blonde said politely. The raven merely shrugged, and didn't reply. Well… this was an awkward atmosphere. Then Professor Flitwick began talking, and he focused on him.
He didn't notice that his partner wasn't paying attention, seemingly doodling.
"Today we will be practicing the Truth Charm. This is a particularly advanced charm, and allows the castor to know whether or not they are being lied to. The incantation is Verum Fans, and you must use a swishing circular motion to achieve it. Practice on your partners, by taking turns telling two truths and one lie. Begin."
There was a sound of scuffling as everyone turned in their chairs, and then the sound of the incantation being called out over and over, accompanied by laughter.
"So, do you wish to go first, or shall I?" Remus asked, turning in his seat.
"You go first." She replied in a soft but demanding voice, her expression not changing. The werewolf thought for a moment then smiled.
"My favorite food is chocolate, I have a pet dog at home, and my favorite color is red." He answered calmly, not changing his expression. He glanced into the eyes of his partner, and without speaking, moved her wand in a circular swishing motion. Remus's eyes widened considerably.
"You can do nonverbal spells?" He said curiously. His partner nodded.
"You don't have a dog." She replied, then thought for a second. The blonde waited patiently until she spoke.
"I'm an only child. My favorite color is black. I'm happy." Remus performed the incantation verbally, and was slightly shocked at the results.
The spell told him that there were two lies. "You aren't an only child." He said quickly, trying to cover up his hesitation. Echolynne nodded and then when back to drawing or writing on her parchment. Minutes later the class dismissed, and Remus left, thinking hard.
He knew she wasn't an only child. He knew her favorite color was black. So why did the spell tell him that the biggest lie was the she was happy?
And that was only the beginning.
I felt like I should put something here. So, Rubber Ducky. That it. Go on, read the next chapter and review .
