A/N: All right, I'll tell her story with Remus. Not let's travel back to the year that Sirius Black escaped Azkaban, back to September 1. Please leave a review.

"God this couldn't be any more depressing," Selene looked over at her fellow housemate and smiled as she looked at her. She closed the book in her lap and sat up, causing her blonde headed friends to turn from looking out the window to look at Selene. Her blue eyes were sparkling with wonderment that she'd managed to pull her friends out of her book. Sometimes when Selene started to read a book, there was no reaching her.

"The rain isn't depressing Laura, it's beautiful. If not for the rain how would plants grow?" she asked with a smile as she looked at her friends. Selene sometimes had a tendency to see the silver lining to everything. Perhaps that was the reason that she annoyed Professor Snape so much.

"They can grow just as well if we watered them, there is no need for the rain," said Jean Simmons, a small girl with brilliantly red hair and dark brown eyes. Selene merely rolled her eyes and was about to turn her attention back to the book that she was reading when the train came to a sudden stop and not a moment later all the lights on the train flickered off. "Whoa, what's going on?" Jean asked as she sat up alertly.

"It's too early for us to have reached Hogwarts already," Laura said as she turned to look out the window. It was rather foggy out, but she could vaguely see the outline of a dark figure boarding the train and drew in a very sharp inhale of breath. "A Dementor is boarding the train," she said as she recognized the guard of Azkaban, her mother and father were both Aurors.

"You're right," Selene said as she could see her very breath before her. The became suddenly very quiet when they saw the large figure pass their window and didn't make a sound, each of the three seventh year, Ravenclaw girls holding their breath. For a moment they looked around the darkness, playing very close attention to any sounds from the hallway. A few moments later they heard a thump and a few moments later saw the Dementor hurry of the train. "Strange."

"Very," Laura said as the lights flickered on and she ran a hand through her blonde hair nervously. "It must be searching the train for Sirius Black. My father says that the Dementors will be at Hogwarts this year to guard it from Sirius Black."

"My mum told me the same thing," said Jean, whose mother was a Wizengamot. Her parents had gotten a divorce a couple of years ago, her father was one of the school governors. She lived with her mother and didn't see her father all that much as he mother wasn't exactly very happy about the divorce and was in fact very bitter about it. Perhaps that was the reason that Jean went through so many boyfriends.

Selene merely nodded and got up, placing her book on the seat. "I'm going to see if the people in the compartment next to ours are ok. I heard a strange thump," Selene said as she stood up, her friends merely nodded as she walked to the door and slid it open. She closed it and walked over to the compartment door, but as she reached for it she jumped as it slid open on its own.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to frighten you," Remus said as he stared at the tall, thin girl with raven black hair and black eyes. She stared at him suspiciously for a moment, wondering what on earth an adult was doing on the Hogwarts express as she'd never really seen any adults on the train before. "I'm Remus J. Lupin, I'll be your Defense Against the Dark Arts professor this year," he said with a mild smile as he stared at her.

"Oh, sorry it's just I never really seen an adult on the train," she said as she stared at him. She smiled as she looked at him. "My name is Selene Moore and if I were you I wouldn't have taken the Defense Against the Dark Arts position, none of the Professors who have ever taught in that position has ever lasted more than a year. People say it is jinxed."

"Yes, I've heard," Remus said as he stared at her, smiling mildly at her. He guessed that she was a seventh year, for she was quite tall and looked to be one of the older students. Selene stared into his amber eyes and his hair. She guessed that he was probably about Snape's age, for he looked to be about his age. Although, he looked more tired than Professor Snape and he looked like a malnourished child, weak and sick.

"Are you all right Professor, I don't mean to offend you but you seem a little under the weather," she said as she stared at him. He smiled as he looked at her, and she felt butterflies in her stomach. He had a very charming and sexy smile, when he smiled genuinely. His mild smile was cute, but not as satisfying as a sincere smile.

"Thank you for your concern Selene, but I'm fine. I've been sick lately, but I'm feeling better," he said as he stared at her. "May I ask why you are out here?" he asked as he stared at her. She smiled as she looked at him.

"I heard strange thump, and I thought that maybe someone had gotten hurt and I was going to check, but I guess everyone is fine," she said as she looked up at him. He smiled as he stared at her, thinking it was a very nice and caring gesture on her part.

"Yes, everyone is fine," he said with a smile as he stared at her.

"I don't mean to be rude Professor, but may I ask why you are out here?" she asked as she stared at him.

"Oh, I was going to speak to the conductor," he said as he suddenly remembered what he was doing.

"Then I won't keep you any longer Professor Lupin, it was very nice to meet you," Selene said with her charming smile before turning around and walking back into her compartment to be with her friends. This was certainly going to be an interesting year.
