I`m sorry that it takes so long for me to update. I`m still a new writer, so I have… oh I don`t know… about seventeen zillion (I don`t care if it`s not a real number!) different rabid plot bunnies biting me and injecting their juices of imagination into my bloodstream. I`m writing five different things at once… so… Yeah!

Disclaimer: If I owned this, would I be a young teen sitting at her computer every day, staring at the screen, unknown to the rest of the world? No. I would be rich, Rich, RICH I SAY! MWAHAHAHA!

*cough* Sorry about that. I`m better now. Well, you don`t want to hear me yapping all night… or day… or afternoon… … … IT`S FIVE O` CLOCK SOMEWHERE! Da da da da da! Da da da da da! Da da da da da! DA! DA! DAAAAAAAAA! *runs off stage with a black cane, bowler hat, and suit that appeared out of nowhere, moving cane like jabbing it at something with both hands* *curtain rises* *cue applause* "ON WITH THE SHO- er… STORY!"

As promised, Remus got to the Library and to class on time. Unfortunately, the Gryffindors had Potions with the Slytherins. Remus sat next to Peter, behind Sirius and James. When Professor Slughorn came, Peter somehow handed in a completed paper. As the students began their Calming Draughts, they had nothing else to do, but talk.

Lucius and Severus were sitting nauseatingly close to the boys, talking very loudly about how the Marauders would severely regret ever turning their robes pink. "Well," Remus mumbled. "I thought that the green ties and pink robes matched rather nicely." The Marauders snickered as they were shot some very intense death glares.

"Hey Remus?" Peter asked. "Uh huh?" "Have you been feeling okay?" "What do you mean? I`m fine." Remus asked casually. His voice sounds normal, but I can see the unease in his eyes, Peter thought.

"Well, you weren`t really acting yourself this morning." Remus suddenly froze, with a petrified look on his face. He tried to mask it, by pretending to have almost put in the wrong ingredient. However, his façade did not go unnoticed by Peter, who decided to play along with his little "act"… at least, for now.

"I don`t know what you`re talking about." He said, looking apprehensive, yet his voice unwavering. "Well, maybe it`s just me, but you seem a bit tense. Are you sure that you`re ok?" "Oh, that!" Remus said, a look of "realization" coming upon him.

"It`s just stress. Y`know: homework, studying, classes, etc." "It`s just that… well… more pranks? Blueprints? Plans springing up overnight? That`s not you Remus. That`s Sirius and James, but not you. I do have the right to be worried. Just remember: No matter what happens, we`ll always look out for you. Whether you`re up against some Slytherins, or you`re nervous about asking a girl out - we`ll do anything we can." "Thanks Wormtail." "Don`t worry about it. I wouldn`t have it any other way. Even if those two don`t want to help, which I very highly doubt," he said, gesturing to the other half of their lighthearted band of brothers. "But if it happens, I`m on your side no matter what." "Um… wow. That may be one of the kindest things anyone has ever said to me." Peter shrugged with a smile on his face. "Comes with the job. 'When you`re a friend, stick together to the end.' This includes moral support and good-natured teasing." They chuckled and continued working.

At this point, Peter felt a bit (but only a bit) more believing of this story, and decided to keep an eye out, but allow it to blow over on its own. However, he was oblivious to Remus and a Slytherin boy stopping for a moment, sharing a meaningful look, and a nod, before continuing.

"Well, look at that." Lucius said quietly to Severus, watching the scene before them unfold. "Yes," Severus replied, in the same hushed tones. "It may be worth 'investigating'." "I think you`re right," said Lucius.

AN: Ok, so I think that Lucius was supposed to be older than them, but can we pretend that they`re in the same year. It`ll be easier that way. Thank you!

I know that it was short, but I`m trying not to give too much information at once. Trust me, there will be a lot of suspense (don`t throw pitchforks please) and some of it will be perplexing, but it will all make sense in the end. Although… I don`t exactly know when that will be.

So you know, it`s October of their Fourth Year. Just to let you know. So… yep! I shall see you next chapter. I bid thee farewell whilst thou embarks on their quest through this website! (Sir Cadogan is awesome!)
