Chapter Four: Dumbledore's office and Revelations

Shortly after the feast was over Lily made her way towards Dumbledore's office. She had written to him after she had received the bite and he told her to meet him in his office after the feast to talk about her arrangements each month. He had told her that she was welcomed back despite her new condition.

Lily slowly made her way to his office losing herself in her thoughts. She was so lost in her own thoughts that when someone tapped her on her shoulder she jumped a mile and ended up falling to the floor. Looking up Lily found herself looking into the same blue eyes that she had lost herself in at the feast. Blushing she looked away.

"Oh sorry I didn't mean to startle you."

"No, it's okay. I was lost in my thoughts." Lily said while standing back up. trying to control her red cheeks.

"I can understand that. Happens to me all the time."

Lily smiled softly at him, almost losing herself in his eyes once again, and losing the battle with her rising blush.

"I don't normally do this" he started. "But I noticed you at the feast and I had the sudden urge to introduce myself."

Lily blushed even more remembering how he had caught her staring at him through dinner.

"My name is Remus Lupin." He held out his hand to her. Taking his hand Lily smiled.

"I know." He smiled back at her.

"Your name is Lily right?"

"Yes, yes it is." Lily reluctantly let his hand go. "I am sorry I wish I could talk more but I was actually on my way to see the headmaster."

"Really, so was I. He caught me after the feast and told me to meet him in his office."

"Really!" Lily was slightly confused. Why would Dumbledore want Remus there?

"Yep, so shall we?"

All Lily could do was nod her head. The two of them made their way towards the headmaster's office in silence. Lily couldn't help but steal a glance at him every so often. She suddenly realized that she was developing a crush on him. She couldn't help but notice the way his hair fell into his eyes. It made her want to reach over and tuck it behind his ear just so she could see if it was as soft as it looked.

Before she knew it they where at the gargoyle that lead to the headmaster's office. Giving the password the two of them made their way up the stairs to his door. Remus knocked and after a voice from within grated them entrance they made their way in and took a seat in front of his desk. Lily glanced back over at REmus again wondering why Dumbledore would want him here.

The headmaster smiled warmly at them both.

"Well I am sure you are wondering why you are here." Dumbledore said looking towards Remus.

"You could say that." He replied nodding his head.

"Well, it would seem that you will be having company in your shack every month from now on." Dumbledore smiled softly as Remus quickly looked from him to Lily and back again. Slowly relization hit him as he looked at Lily opened mouthed.

Lily was just confused. What did the headmaster mean by that?

"Um I am not quite sure I understand sir….are you saying that Lily here is a well a…"

"Yes Mr. Lupin that is exactly what I am saying. I do believe it happen about two months ago. Am I right Lily."

Lily looked from Dumbledore towards Remus with confusion clearly on her face. Did he want her to tell him of all people and why.

"Um sir…."

"Yes, Miss. Evans Mr. Lupin here is also a werewolf."

Remus and Lily just stared at each other neither knowing quite what to say. Lily couldn't believe it. Remus was a werewolf, just like her. Maybe that was why he had a different smell. They were both pulled out of their daze when Dumbledore cleared his throat in order to get their attention again. Looking back towards the headmaster Lily noticed that he had a slight knowing smile on his face.

"Yes, well I am sure Mr. Lupin would be more than pleased to so you how to get to and from the shack." Dumbledore said looking towards Remus, whom only managed to shake his head yes. Still slightly dazed himself.

"Well then it has been a long day I suggest you two return to your common room." He stood and made for the door. Still in a slight daze Lily and Remus followed him to the door and after saying goodnight made their way back to the common room.

Once they reached the portrait Remus stopped and turned towards Lily, a small smile on his face.

"Well, maybe we should get together tomorrow night so that I can show you the way to the shack."

"That sounds good to me…." Lily started "Well I never would have guessed to have found someone whom might understand what I am going through."

Remus smiled at her and nodded his head. "Yes I do know what you mean."

"Do your friends know?"

"Yes they found out about me in our third year. They have been a big help and very supportive. But they still don't understand." He smiled at her again making her blush a little.

"I told my friends as well, and they feel the same way." Lily turned to make her way into the common room and then stopped and turned back to face Remus. "I was wondering if you don't mind if maybe we could talk sometimes. It would be nice to talk with someone who understands. Makes me feel not so lonely anymore."

"I was just about to ask the same thing. And I hope we can become good friends." Lily smiled at him and then turned to make her way into the common room with Remus following. Lily immediately spotted her friends waiting for her in front of the fire. Turning back towards Remus she noticed that he too had located his friends.

"Um, Remus maybe we should…." Remus turned back to face her.

"I think I now what you are going to say and I totally agree, let's just keep this between us for now."

"Thanks…" Lily turned to make her way to her friends "See you tomorrow Remus."

"Night Lily."

Lily made her way to her friends whom immediately demand to know what she was doing with Remus. Lily turned to look at him and realized that he too was getting the same treatment. He turned and smiled knowingly at her and then waved and made his way up to the boy's dorms with his friends following. Lily grinned and turned back to her friends.

"I'm tired, I am going to bed."

"Oh no I don't think so girl. At least not until you answer my question." Isabel said with a slight twinkle in her eyes.

"Oh fine he had a meeting with Dumbledore as well and we walked back together."

"I don't believe you Lily Evans but I will let it slip for now, but only because I am so tired." Rebecca yawned to prove her point and made her way up to the dorms. Isabel just shook her head and followed. Lily sighed and followed her friends up the stairs. This year was going to be an interesting one indeed.
