Remus looked up at her, his eyes glistening with tears, and with in a small whisper "And we will make many more, till all of this is gone." Nevaeh smiled down at the boy, he didn't deserve this, this burden, he was so young, sure she was the same age but still she had learnt about this at Hogwarts. Sure she had been one of the few who were only learning it for the first time but she was taught it. "Yeah" She replied "We will."

Nevaeh spent the next half an hour comforting the boy, and answering all the questions he had. She was explaining about Harry Potter when the Marauders returned from their afternoon classes. Nevaeh excused herself as soon as she saw them and took the book up to her dorm room and hid it again so no-one who wasn't meant to see the book didn't see it. As she wandered back down the stairs she wondered, how was Remus going to handle it, seeing his friends and knowing their awful fates, how is he going to look Peter in the eye without wanting to beat him to death, but no, violence wasn't in Remus's nature.

She walked into the common room to see Remus sitting where she had left him, pushed up into the corner of a couch, it didn't take her long to see why he was making himself as compact as possible for sitting at the other end of the couch was Peter Pettigrew deep in discussion with James. Sighing, Nevaeh power-walked over and sat between Remus and Peter, taking Remus's hand in her own. She knew how he felt, she felt the same way. Peter disgusted her.

Nevaeh watched as Sirius cocked his head to the right, clearly puzzled by her behavior. She shot a small grin at him and turned to Remus, leaning in so she could whisper in his ear. "Remus, love are you okay?" She already knew the answer and knew it had been a patronizing question but she had to know how he felt and that he knew she was there for him no matter what. "No. Not at all, I can't believe him! How can he just sit there talking to them, he doesn't deserve their friendship!" He responded in a wheeze. Nevaeh nodded, she completely agreed. She turned and watched three-quarters of the marauders enjoy themselves.

Nevaeh woke up early, she was excited to be going into Hogsmeade with James, Remus and Sirius. Peter was meant to be coming but had conveniently been given detention with Professor Slughorn. She was ecstatic, Remus might actually be able to relax and enjoy himself. Smiling as she thought this, God knows that boy needs some joy in his life. She leapt out of bed looking at the clock next to her head to see that she had an hour, she was meeting the boys outside the Great Hall at eight. Stretching and yawning as she wandered over to the dresser next to her bed looking out her window she saw that it was a lovely day outside. Perfect. She pulled out her top from the previous day and began to transfigure it. As she began to walk out the door of her dorm she took a quick look at herself, she was wearing a black boob tube, a frilly and layered black mini skirt, a short pink cardigan and to finish it off pink knee high stiletto boots. Crap! She thought looking at the clock, she only had two minutes to meet the boys, grabbing her money she ran out the door and sprinted to the Great Hall.

The boys forgave her for being late, they had only been waiting for fifteen minutes. They walked in silence to Hogsmeade. As there was only one clothing shop in Hogsmeade in 1976 they headed to Gladrags Wizardwear. They walked her to the door but James and Remus wanted to go to Honeydukes so it was just Sirius left with Nevaeh. She was quite pleased by this, but she wasn't about to let him know that, she didn't know if his ego could take it. She giggled at this thought.

As they were walking around the store, Sirius looked at her oddly. She figured it was propbably because she was just grabbing anything she could. She was right.

"Ahh Nevaeh?" Sirius asked inquisitively.

"Yes Sirius?" She responded with a small smile on her lips.

"Why are you grabbing such awful clothing? Its quite..... different from your normal attire." He looked her up and down at the last part.

"I know," She replied "I'm quite good at transfiguration you see, so when we get back to the castle i'll just transfigure it into clothing I actually like because I can't seem to find my style of clothing anywhere I look."

Sirius looked impressed. "Do you mind if I watch you do that?" He asked quietly.

"Of course." She said with a smile playing on her lips "I can always use someone else's opinion and you can fold it all for me."

They continued wandering through out the store, Sirius's arms becoming more and more filled with clothes. They were running out of time, they had promised to meet the others at Madame Puddifoots tea shop. The boys had all wanted to go to the Three Broomsticks for lunch, but Nevaeh had won. She had given them all a look with puppy-dog eyes and they had been like putty in her hands. Grinning at thought Nevaeh picked up the last pair of shoes and walked over to the counter to pay for the clothing. They left the shop, Nevaeh's pouch much much lighter and both hers and Siruis's arms laden with shopping bags. They were quite a sight. They got to Madam Puddifoots just a few minutes before James and Remus who found it hilarious that Sirius was carrying the majority of Nevaeh's purchases. They stopped after Sirius shot them both death glares and they even offered to carry a few bags themselves.

They ate lunch rather quickly as all the boys had a lot of homework to get started on. When they returned to the castle Sirius and Nevaeh bid the other two farewell and headed off in the other direction. Nevaeh had no idea where she was going, she was just following Sirius. They arrived at the seventh floor and Sirius started walking around oddly, Nevaeh just turned around to look at the portrait of Barnabas the Barmy trying to teach Trolls ballet. She was pulled from behind into what appeared to be a changing room of a clothing store, only bigger.

"Where are we?" Nevaeh breathed.

"The Room of Requirement." He laughed looking at her puzzled face. "It's a secret, come on lets get to work. You've got a lot of clothes."

They spent the next four hours working at her clothes, Nevaeh could have done it faster but Sirius insisted on her trying on everything after she had transfigured it. She had just transfigured her final outfit and was putting in on in the changing room, it was by far the best. She checked herself out in the mirror, she had on a short pink and white dress that hugged her curves and thigh high white boots.

"Ready?" She called out.

"READY!" Sirius shouted back.

Taking a deep breath Nevaeh walked out, She laughed at the look of horror on Sirius's face. "You like?" She giggled.

"Holy Merlin!" Was all he said as he stalked over to her with a look of hunger on his face. He picked her up by her waist, running one of his hands through her hair and down her back. Nevaeh leaned towards him, a small smile on her lips as she melted into him.

Writer's Note - Hey Guys! Vicky Here, Don't own any characters other than Nevaeh and Nadia. And just coz I got a question about it from Bozzonita here is Nevaeh's Background:

Nevaeh Onyx Blackburn was brought up by her mother, Acacia Balckburn ( Muggle) who had Nevaeh at 16 (19th May 2006), Nevaeh never knew her father who was Kevin Whitby, a Hufflepuff three years behind Harry Potter. He was 19 when Nevaeh was born. Acacia did not know Kevin was a Wizard and was shocked to find her daughter was a witch but she was very open-minded about it all and even gave Nevaeh the name of her father who Nevaeh met at age 14.

Love You All
