"Hello?" Alex whispered as she entered the dark classroom, "Hello? Professor?"

Swishing through the darkness, Alexandria felt the air as it grew stiff and cold. The classroom stood still, empty. She peered through what her eyes could grasp and ran her hand across the tops of desks to assure herself in where she was headed.

"Alex, come with me" A voice boomed behind her.

The familiar voice left a smile on her face and from the light coming in from the hall from the open door, Alex could see the outline of Remus. With a motion of his hand for her to come to him, Remus led Alex out of the classroom.

Secretly and quietly the two of them dodged Filch and several Prefects, whom were making their rounds through the corridors.

As they made their way through, Alex commented, "It's a bit like being ninjas."

"Shut up!" He harshly snapped in a whisper as he tried to move her past Percy Weasley.

Alex's face fell.

Remus looked back and saw her face.

Feeling bad, he whispered back, "But yes Alex, I do feel ninja like at the moment."

Her smile instantly lit up.

Without running into anyone, Lupin led the young girl into a room quickly and shut the door behind her. He swished his wand through the blind darkness and suddenly the room was filled with light and heat beaming off of the fireplace in the corner. Alex instantly knew where she was; his living quarters.

There was a bed placed ever so center on the wall across from where she was standing. There were books scattered across the dressers and the nightstands; there were even a couple on the floor. But for the most part the room was neat and clean.

"It's not much but it's—" Lupin began.

"Perfect" She cut him off with a smile.

"Come here." He calmly told as he lightly grabbed her hand. Leading her to the bed, Remus sat down on the edge and moved Alex into his lap. Upon sitting, Alex began to place short kisses on his lips. Lupin smiled.

"So, what's this all about?" Alex asked as she looked around.

"Something special."

"For you or me?" She enticed.

"For us both" He said, before whisking a kiss on her lips. He grabbed her by the hips and flipped her onto the bed. Alex landed with a giggle. Remus crawled over with a hungry smile but an even hungrier set of eyes.

With both hands on either side of her head he lowered his face to hers as he divulged passion from his lips to hers. His body began to lower to rest to the left of hers as he lifted her head in a kiss. Alex rolled to her side, deepening the kiss.

He ran his hand down her back, pulling them closer. She reached up and began to unbutton his shirt. Once the last button came undone, Alex helped Remus slide his shirt off, breaking the kiss momentarily.

In between breaths, Remus asked, "Are you sure, Alex?"

"I've never been surer about anything in my life" she tells.

"We don't have too, if you don't want too"

"Shut up!" She laughed, grabbing him by the back of the head and placing herself on top of him.

Remus gripped Alex's sides as she kissed her way down his chest. There were outlines of scars all down his chest. Alex was a bit curious, but she didn't mind. He was still just as beautiful.

She reached the edge of his pants and began to unbutton them. Once released, Remus moaned and grabbed Alex ripping off her shirt. She giggled in excitement. Alex, unable to wait, began to strip off her pants, throwing them to the side. Alex laid back on the soft pillows as Lupin reached across her and took off her bra. He then slid his large hands down her stomach and reached the rim of her panties. Slowly pulling them down, Alex moaned in anticipation. Remus made his way back up to her mouth, kissing her deeply. Their naked bodies were wrapped up in each other. Their faces were wrapped up in a kiss. Alex broke the kiss, lifting her head slightly to nibble on his ear. Remus groaned and went down to kiss her shoulder. Hands were touching all over on both sides, intensifying the moment. Alex grabbed him below the waist which made him jerk almost immediately. She guided it to her. He stopped and positioned himself over her. Staring directly into one another's eyes, he entered. With a swift gasp, Alex clenched her nails into his back. Remus began slowly and then increased. Soon they were panting and trashing about the bed. Her moans were growing and so were his. Alex switched positions; making sure she was on top for some time. She grinded into him and he matched her pace. They made love, sharing kisses, sweat, and passion. Remus was back on top towards the end. He grabbed her by the waist, pushing her into him roughly as he released. His moans and groans roared through the room. This made Alex hot and she too reached the end with a bit of a scream.

They both fell to the bed, neither moving for a while. Alex, as tired as she was, slowly began to drift off. Remus eventually got up from the collapsed position and moved under the covers. He moved Alex as well, gently placing her beside him. She tiredly snuggled up against his chest. He ran his hand through her hair and kissed her hairline at the top of her forehead. He moved his hand to her back as she wrapped one leg around one of his. Together they drifted off into silence and slumber.

Groggily opening her eyes, Alex reached around but could not feel anything. She jerked her eyes open immediately. She looked around the room, no one was there. Her clothes were neatly folded in a pile atop the dresser. With the blanket wrapped around her, Alex crept out of bed and walked over to the dresser. Dropping the blanket on the floor, she began to put on her bra and underwear. Just as she pulled up the bra straps, the bathroom door swung open and out walked Remus.

"Mmmm" He smiled, as he walked over to her and wrenched a hand around her waist, pulling her close

"Good morning" he continued, with a kiss on her forehead. Alex smiled, reached up for a quick smooch, and wrapped her hands around him.

"Good morning" she returned.

"Getting dressed so soon?" He whispered.

Alex laughed, "Well I wasn't planning on lounging around in the nude all day."

"Why not?" He smiled.

"As much as I would like too, it's Halloween and Hayley and I love it! But maybe I'll come back and see you tonight?" Alex comforted.

"You can't." He said shortly, removing himself from her grasp.

"Um alright?" Alex stated pissed, while furiously putting the rest of her clothes on. "Just forget I even mentioned it."

"No, no, no." He told softly, turning back to her, "It's not that I don't want you to come back. Cause I do, I really do, I just have a thing I have to do."

"A thing?"

"Yeah, it's an event, I suppose."

"Like a Halloween party?"

"Um…Yeah! That's it!"

Questionably, Alex took his poor excuse and dropped the subject, "Didn't know you partied, Remus. But that's cool, Hayley and I will have our own fun. Hopefully, I'll see you at the feast?"

"Yeah, yeah, I'll be there" He weakly smiled.

"Good." She swiftly kissed his cheek, and smiled "I'll see you later than"

He nodded as she walked over to the door. Alex opened the door, partially to make sure no one was standing in the hall. She flipped her hair back over her shoulder as she looked back at Remus.

Her smile made his knees weak. There she was, beautiful as ever. Standing at 5'4" with long dark brown hair and piercing blue eyes, he felt like she was looking into his soul. He wanted her more than anything else in his entirely life. He wants all of her and he was willing to give all of himself to her, forever and always. He wanted to scream it, but the words got caught in his throat, and next thing he knew, she was gone.

"Excuse me? Where have you been?" Hayley questioned as Alex tried to tip toe her way into the dorm.

"Oh, you're up" Alex whispered, guiltily.

"Yes, I am" Hayley glared. "And the funny thing is I woke up alone, just how I went to sleep!"

"Would you believe me if I told you I went to sleep after you and woke up before you?" Alex tried.

"No."

"Alright," Alex huffed, "I was with him."

"I know"

"You do?"

"I'm not stupid."

"Well sometimes…." Alex joked.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP ALEX!" Hayley yelled.

"If you already knew why are you mad?"

"BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T EVEN TELL ME!"

"I DIDN'T KNOW!" Alex screamed back, "IT JUST SORTA HAPPENED!"

"You said you'd be gone for an hour" Hayley spit, "I was worried."

"I'm a big girl; I can take care of myself!"

"Not with Sirius Black running around!"

"This has nothing to do with my safety, YOU'RE JUST JEALOUS!"

"JEALOUS!"

"YEAH! You don't have the guts to tell Fred how you feel so you take it out on mine and Remus' relationship!"

"You fucking wish! NEWS FLASH! It's not all about YOU Alex! And just because I don't have the nerve to say anything to Fred yet doesn't mean I'm jealous of you WHORING AROUND WITH A PROFESSOR!"

"JEALOUS!"

"WHORE!" Hayley retaliated.

"JEALOUS!"

"WHORE!"

"JEALOUS!"

"WHORE!"

"JEALOUS!"

"WHORE!"

"JEALOUS!"

"WHORE!"

"WHORE!" Alex mixed up.

"JEALOUS!" Hayley followed suit.

Suddenly it got awfully quiet as both girls stood there glaring at one another. Laughter broke out amongst the girls as they fell into a hug.

"I'm sorry!" Alex said first.

"I'm sorry!" Hayley seconded.

They hugged a bit longer before Hayley pulled Alex down to floor to sit.

"EVERY DETAIL. NOW." Hayley pushed. "Although, the exact, super personal details, you can leave out.

Alex laughed, "Okay, So…."

Night had fallen quickly and Hayley and Alex made their way down to the Great Hall. Upon their arrival, Alex caught notice of Remus, yet he didn't of her. He looked mangled and tired.

"Oh how I love you Halloween!" Hayley jollied.

"It's always good fun on Halloween" Alex responded.

The hall was decorated so magnificently. There were floating pumpkins and floating ghosts. The food looked absolutely incredible with mash potatoes, ham, pumpkin juice, and various other items. But nothing was better than the desert options. Alex and Hayley filled themselves full.

Waddling back to the common room, the two girls engaged in a conversation about Quidditch. The conversation stopped when Hayley ran into a boy, who looked to be in his fifth year, on the staircase leading up to the entrance.

"What's going on?" Hayley asked

"No clue." Alex responded.

The boy, Hayley just stepped atop turned around, "It's the Fat Lady! She's missing!"

"Missing?" Alex reacted "What?"

Hayley and Alex locked eyes in a state of worry. From where they were standing, they could see a group of Professors, including Dumbledore; make their way up the next stair case. Following in suit were a group Gryffindors. The girls followed the crowd up the stairs but got caught once again at the bottom, as students tried to stuff themselves close. From the looks of it, they had found the Fat Lady and were questioning her. Alex and Hayley stretched their ears to try and hear anything, but picked up nothing. Suddenly, the roar of the Fat Lady could be heard to all,

"SIRIUS BLACK! IT WAS SIRIUS BLACK!"

Silence set in as everyone looked at one another. Mass hysteria set in as students began to gravel and run. Hayley and Alex were partially separated as all the Gryffindors pushed them down and out of the way.

McGonagall was yelling over the crowd, "To the Great Hall! Everyone needs to go to the Great Hall at once!"

Alexandria could see Dumbledore speak to the other Heads of House through the swarm of heads bustling in her line of sight. Seconds later Snape came pushing through, telling students aggressively to move. Dumbledore was gone by the time she looked back; she assumed he just went to secure the castle.

Hayley's hand touched her shoulder. As Alex looked up, Hayley nodded to get out of there. As they reached the Great Hall, McGonagall addressed the student body informing them that they would be sleeping in there tonight. Dumbledore came in, repeated McGonagall, and presented the students with bedding as he swished his wand and left.

Hayley and Alex still hadn't spoken; neither really knew what to say. As Alexandria crawled under the covers, she gazed around the room looking for one man in particular. She couldn't find him. The room grew with soft chatter. Percy Weasley tried to dull it down, but was unsuccessful. Her face scrunched in irritation.

"What's wrong?" Hayley asked in a hushed whispered.

"Nothing" Alex sulked before resting her head on the pillow.

"He's not here." Hayley pointed out.

"I know." Alex frowned.

"I'm sorry. He's probably securing the castle or something."

"Yeah maybe…"

But as teachers came back in throughout the night, they seemed concerned and disheveled about the students. Alex waited and waited for Remus to show up, to look worried about her, and to be safe. Lupin never did. This persisted Alex's nagging feeling.

She had mixed emotions. She was irritated that he didn't even bother coming down to check in on the students; more importantly to check on her. He knew she was in Gryffindor; it was Gryffindor tower that was nearly broken into. Yet as mad as she was, she was worried about him too. He hadn't been back to the Great Hall. What if he was in trouble? Alex remembered that he had somewhere to be.

In her mind, she hoped he wasn't even in the castle. But then she became aggravated again that he wasn't there. She was scared. Everyone was. But Alex felt alone and in a state of solitude. He should have been there.

Around two in the morning, Hayley reached over and grabbed Alex's shaking hand, who was still staring at the door. She waited for him, forever. Hayley tried to stay up with Alex but couldn't and fell asleep around three-thirty. Alex dozed off as dawn approached, with thoughts of Remus Lupin and Sirius Black.
