"A tericyle," Remus repeated incredulously. "You mean like Merlin? I didn't know there were any left. Didn't they all die out in the 3rd century?"

"Er," said Lily, surprised how much he knew on the subject. Then again, Lily had always suspected that he memorized textbooks in his free time. "Yeah."

"A tericyle; I never would have guessed that. How long have you known? Are your parents also powerful? Well, I guess not; they're Muggles, right?"

"Er, since this summer, and, yeah, they were Muggles," said Lily, unsure which to answer first. This was definitely not the reaction she expected.

"Hmm, only this summer? Did anything life-changing happen? Maybe a traumatic event, a deadly injury, becoming of age?" he rambled, completely unaware that Lily was completely lost in what he was saying.

'All of them,' thought Lily in surprise, 'No wonder my powers just were developed.'

"How hard are they to control?" Remus continued, unaware that he had nearly lost his audience. "Well, I can assume that it is difficult seeing as you just destroyed half the castle," (at this Lily blushed guiltily), "and the potion must help control them…" he continued on, going into great detail all the things that added up.

Suddenly, the door flew open and in walked a stern Dumbledore, a shocked McGonagall, and a twittering Madame Pomfrey, cutting off Remus' rant quite efficiently.

"Lily," said Dumbledore strongly, "didn't I just warn you last night about- Hello, Mr. Lupin," he said quickly, catching sight of the bruised Remus next to Lily.

"Its okay, Professor, he already knows," said Lily lightly. "He knows my secret, I know his. No need to worry, sir."

"Miss Evans," began McGonagall swiftly, "I can't believe you! Endangering the school, threatening a student, ruining dozens of potions-"

"Minerva," said Dumbledore soothingly. Adressing Lily, he said, "Now, why don't you and Mr. Lupin head down to breakfast, now? I took care of the mess and I'm sure you want to talk."

Just as Remus rose out of bed, he gave a short cry of pain and fell back below the covers.

"Oh dear," said Madame Pomfrey, before bustling over to a closed shelf. When she opened it, all of the shattered glass and multi-colored liquid spilled out, obviously shattered from Lily's rampage. "And I don't have any more stocked up!"

"Lily," said Dumbledore calmly, "why don't you try that trick I taught you last week, seeing as Mr. Lupin already knows of your powers?"

"I'll try," said Lily with a shrug before rising from her bed and kneeling beside Remus. She held her hand a few inches off his body and reached deep into the core of her power. Using her Sight, she watched her hands glow green with power and saw Remus's black eye mend itself rapidly and all the cuts to come together seamlessly.

Remus looked shocked, reached up a hand to touch his healed eye and muttered, "Thanks."

"You ready for breakfast?" asked Lily, covering her embarrassment of his amazement.

"Yeah, let's go!" he said with renewed enthusiasm, leaping up from the bed energetically. He looked completely refreshed, as though he had just had a full night's rest.

They strode out the wing together, leaving behind a smiling Albus Dumbledore. The werewolf and tericyle walked together in peaceful silence until they were in the Great Hall.

"Hey, Moony! Come over here!" called Black from the end of the Gryffindor table. With a sigh, Lily headed over to an empty bench and sat down. Footsteps came from behind her and the bench creaked as Remus sat down next to her, much to the confusion of the Marauders.

"Thanks," Lily murmured to Remus. Lily was deeply touched by the companionship Remus showed her, showing he was a true and loyal Gryffindor.

"No prob," he said casually.

"So, how long ago were you bitten?" asked Lily quietly.

"Oh I was really young. You see, there's this guy named Fenir Greyback…"

They continued talking quietly about their lives, amazed by the new sides the other was showing.

Finally, Remus asked, "So, those sunglasses... are they because of your power?"

"Yeah," said Lily softly. "They tell me if my powers are getting out of control."

"Can I see them?" he asked, looked into his mirrored reflection. With a shrug, Lily took them off and handed them to the boy. He slipped them on and Lily watched his eyebrows rise high above the rims. "These are superb!"

"Yeah," Lily agreed, "Dumbledore made them for me."

He slipped them off and began to hand them back to her, but stopped, looking at her eyes. "Lily," he said slowly, "is there something you're not telling me?"

Lily quickly slipped her glasses on over her blind eyes and said, "Look, I've got to go to Ancient Runes, see you in Defense!" With that, Lily raced off, leaving a confused Remus behind.

Lily raced to the nearest girl's bathroom and, after making sure no one was there, whipped off her sunglasses and stared at her eyes. Now, finally seeing them, Lily could see thin scars all over her outer eye, little lines that covered her enlarged pupil and dimmed the bright emerald of her eyes.

Staring into these eyes, Lily felt she was looking at a blind stranger, wondering how anyone could ever see out of those scar-ridden eyes. She finally understood Remus's shocked look. She had blind eyes.

Good? Bad? I need feedback. In the next chapter we will have the first counseling meeting and some Remus POV. Get ready for some major James!
