What the hell! I'm going to kill those boys, they always pick on Severus...Miley exclaimed in her mind with a roll of the eyes as she tried to get back to the surface. She'd gone down a good few metres and her heart seemed to be throbbing, it hurt so much from the blast. She could feel the reaction to not breathing slowly making itself known, that instinct that tells you to breath. In and Out. It was crushing knowing that she couldn't. She was making her way up slowly but surely now.

But then she stopped, confused, her eyes wide. The water seemed colder suddenly, almost painfully so. She shuddered violently as her limbs began to fail her, they were numb. She knew dark magic when it showed itself and it frightened her. What was happening?

She could hold her breath no longer and breathed out, but as she watched the large bubbles fly upwards they stopped. The surface of the lake was frozen.

I'm going to die...She realised helplessly, her robes and hair swirling around her gracefully. At that moment she seemed like a porcelain doll, thrown away by a careless child, left to slowly go deeper and deeper into the water till broken and forgotten at the bottom.

The world began to dim. She began to sink further and further into the darkness and could do nothing to stop herself when she breathed in, the instinct getting the best of her, she took water into her lungs.

Then it all went black as her eyes fluttered closed. She could hear a soft voice from far away getting closer with each and every word. A young woman's voice, seeming to be echoing words she'd spoken long ago

"Now you sleep, you rest my friend. Get some rest Miley"

She felt warmth spread through her body and her chest didn't hurt anymore. Her eyes flew open, she was still in the water, her limbs still wouldn't obey her but suddeny that was okay.

But something was different.

Her eyes went wide as she focused on a figure of swirling light infront of her. A young woman.

She was smiling brightly at her. An angel?

"Hello Miley." The young woman greeted her warmly. So familiar was her voice.

"I look very different from when you last saw me Milly" She used an old nickname. But only one person had called her that. Leslie.

It took a second for the information to process and Miley would have cried if she could

Before her stood her best friend in the whole world. Her age.

She was dressed in silvery robes which swirled around her enchantingly, her long brown hair curly and wild like it used to be and her green eyes bright and alive. She was beautiful.

"It's not your time Milly. Your future is coming to get you as we speak. I want you to know before you return to them...that it was not your fault that I died. And that what you did made it all worth while. Now my kind can live more freely and without fear. He's almost here now. One more thing though..I love you. You are and always will be my best friend but you must move on, we will see each other once again I swear, just not right now." She told her calmly, eyes twinkling. She seemed at peace and Miley felt an 11 year old weight lift from her shoulders and hoped her eyes were saying what her mouth couldn't.

I love you too Leslie Miley thought as the world began to dim again and she took one last look at her best friend, who smiled comfortingly before fading away.

Above the surface...

Remus heart was thudding against his chest so loud he thought everyone would hear. And for a split second he didn't know what to do. There were others around them now. Wanting to know what happened and Sirius and James were looking from him to the water helplessly.

She needs me, I can't let her die, I have to get a hold of the situation He thought and slowed his breath.

Then without a further thought he brought out his wand and focused every part of himself, every fibre, all of his being, werewolf and human on creating the most powerful heating charm he could muster.

He saw Sirius and James bring out their wands aswell, catching onto his thought.

"Incendia" He muttered, the incendia spell was a more powerful version of their first year incendio.

Roaring flames flew from his wand tip to hit the surface of the ice. They spread within seconds of his casting all across the lake, swirling and thrashing through the ice, he could practically hear people's awe but didn't care, he kept his focus, ignoring the cries and yells from around him. If she died...

The ice melted and he flung his robes from him in a single movement and swiftly dived into the water. She had to be near, he told himself as he swung his head down, hair flying into his vision.

He could see her metres below and used all his strength to get to her as soon as he could. She was sinking, her robes dragging her down gracefully.

He stretched out a hand and clasped it around her thin wrist, he pulled her up to him and used one arm to point his wand down and they shot upwards together, his arm tight around her waist.

They reached the surface and he didn't even stop to take in a breath before he was pulling her limp body into his arms bridal style and moving out of the water. She wasn't even heavy with the weight of the water he noticed.

Everyone was silent now. Or at least to his ears they were. But they wouldn't move so he could put her down

"Back off" He barked and they instantly moved away from him. No one had seen Remus Lupin act this way.

He laid her down softly, her head slipping to the side. Her face pale and her hair now brown from the water. He put his wand to heart and muttered a quick

"Enervate"

A second later she was coughing and spitting out bad tasting water. She felt completely drained of energy and could only breath heavily and lean against Remus as he swept an strong arm around her.

She let her eyes flutter closed and a small smile graced her lips. So Leslie was still helping her figure out things even when she was dead, Remus was her future. Thats what Les had meant...was it true?

He rubbed the base of her back softly before casting a drying charm on her and seemed to be checking her out for any injuries and she felt completely safe. It was nice to feel that for once.

"What happened here?!" They suddenly heard Professor Bingley pushing through the crowd and he almost took a step back at seeing them

"Mr Lupin get Miss Clarkson to the hospital wing right now and everyone else is to spend the rest of the lesson in the vicinity of my cabin." He ordered.

Soon Miley was back in Remus's strong arms on her way to the hospital wing. To try and help him she moved her arms around his neck and almost thought she heard him groan. She was half asleep when they got there. He gently put her down and set the pillows straight.

She felt cared for. But when she opened her mouth to thank him she found her voice was croaky and small.

He heard her however, he had his werewolf senses to thank for that.

"No problem, I'll go get that new nurse Pomfrey. Back in a minute..." He replied gently, as he turned away he let his fingers linger across the back of her hand, it felt like he was savouring it. His white school shirt and black trousers were still dripping wet and reminding Miley very much of a scene in a muggle movie she had once watched 'Pride and Prejudice' with Mr. Darcy in a wet white shirt, she smiled lightly at it, she'd had had a very big crush on Mr. Darcy and now Remus was bringing back those feelings, it made her feel like a little girl who fancied her teacher.

He returned a second later with Pomfrey hot on his heels.

She did a quick check up

"Well you don't have any physical injuries...Only that you will feel very tired for a while, it's like a side effect of your body temperature changing so rapidly. I'll keep you in until lunch and then come back to see if you're okay, I'll go get a sleeping potion which should help." She concluded before turning on her heel to get said potion.

Miley's eyes were already closing but she tried to stay awake until Remus had left. Remus sensed it.

"Don't try and fight it, get some sleep, you need it after the time you've had. Oh almost forgot-" He told her softly before realising he was dripping wet, with a wave of his wand he was dry again and Miley almost huffed indignantly. Almost.

He smiled and gave a small wave before leaving. He had two boys to kill and a Headmaster to see...

"There we go" Pomfrey appeared again, small vial in hand.

Miley couldn't be bothered to argue that she was fine and took the potion from her, muttering a quick thanks before downing it in one go. A minute later she was under the sheets, dry, sleeping peacefully. Unaware that the biggest change in her life was soon to happen.

With our 'Mr. Darcy'...

Remus decided to see Dumbledore before going to kill his best friends as he knew they would be hiding and the longer he left going to look for them the easier they would be to find.

"Cadburys" He told the statue and it jumped aside, he stepped onto the staircase and straightened out his shirt on the way up. Once at the top he knocked lightly and heard a faint

"Come in"

He swung the door open and there sat Dumbledore, the man who was the reason he was there at Hogwarts.

"Hi Sir. I need to talk to you about something that happened this morning at the lake..."

He then proceeded to tell the patient older man everything, even where Sirius had found the spell, right now he wanted those two in trouble. He was furious with them even though his human side knew it wasn't their fault, but right now his werewolf side was winning out and wanted to rip them to shreds for putting his mate in danger.

Dumbledore nodded and looked thoughtfully at him once he had finished.

"Well this person obviously knew Miss Clarkson as they waited for her to be in some kind of danger to use it to their advantage. And must be a dark witch or wizard as they got into the grounds without my knowledge and the spell you mentioned was dark aswell. I will speak to your friends later, that spell is in the restricted section for a reason. You had better go now, wouldn't want to miss fourth lesson." He replied calmly.

Remus nodded and stood and as he was about to go through the door Dumbledore called after him

"And Remus...Do not punish your friends too harshly, calm your werewolf side. Before you see them go and see Miss Clarkson, this should help your animal side calm down knowing she's safe"

He nodded again and carried on down the stairs. Still hell bent on killing the boys but hoping he'd been right about seeing her. Just the thought of seeing her made him shudder, he was still mentally slapping himself for letting out a groan when she'd slipped those soft small hands around his neck, he hoped she hadn't heard.

With the Hidaways...

"James I don't want to die" Sirius cried, they had taken to hiding in one of the green houses, neither could remember the number on the front.

"He won't kill us, he'll probably punch us once each and then heal us straight after and apologise...Can't believe what happened though, was I the only one who saw that creepy person with the cloak cast that spell?" James replied, turning away from his lookout position near the door.

"Nah I saw it aswell" Sirius replied with a flippant wave of the hand, now a little calmer after his ouburst.

"While we're here might as well talk about your new challenge, do you even know her name yet?" James asked with a raised eyebrow.

Sirius sent him a sour look

"I'm confused Padfoot...She seems different to those other sluts, her skirt goes over her knees, her shirt is always buttoned up she doesn't wear lipgloss it's more this vasaline stuff and she doesn't have tubs of make-up splashed over her face. It's like I need to know stuff about her, I want to know her favourite colour, which season she likes best, that kind of thing and it is driving me insane because I don't know any of it, not even her damned name" Sirius ranted, throwing his hands up in the air, annoyed.

And there stood James smirking like he knew something he didn't

"Why are you looking at me like that?!" He cried, pouting.

"You are falling in love mate" James stated, grinning widely.

Sirius's mouth fell open.

"No I am not!" He cried,eyes wide.

James nodded

"How do you think I fell about Lily? She lights up the room, I want to know everything about her." He told his best friend who shook his head

"Nope, it's not true." He denied it and James rolled his eyes, Sirius had had the same reaction he had, deny it. He'd soon learn.

With Melissa...

"Miss Clarkson?"

Groggily Miley sat up in the bed, putting a hand to her head as the white walls blinded her sore eyes.

"Yes your eyes will be a little sore, keeping them open under water for so long is never a good idea" The matron scolded.

Miley frowned yes because it was my fault I had a curse thrown at me and then the surface of the lake was frozen over while I was still under the water...stupid woman she thought sarcastically, willing herself not to say it out loud.

"Well I suppose you can go, it's almost lunch" She told the young girl wearily and watched as she hopped lightly off the bed and made her way steadily towards the door.

She shook her head and then turned back into her office.

With our 'Mr. Darcy'...

Remus had calmed down a little now, he knew she was near but didn't like what he was feeling from her, she was a little nervous and jumpy and on her way down the stairs near the Hospital Wing, he quickened his pace and was halfway up said stairs when he saw her, she had one hand over her eyes and the other clamped firmly on the banister.

When he was only two steps away and she still hadn't seen him he decided to make himself known

"Miley are you okay?" He asked, she let out a gasp and accidentally let go of the banister, this caused her to stumble and somehow she ended up being caught by him.

"That is the third time today I've had you in my arms" Remus commented with a wolfish grin, inwardly blushing but remaining calm outside, she flushed and his eyes darkened

"The first two I was barely conscious though" She quipped playfully and he chuckled before setting her on her feet

"So whats up with your eyes then?" He asked again, holding onto her forearm to steady her as she continued down the stairs

"They're sore from keeping them open under water, it should wear off in a little while, it seems better already actually" She replied, blinking experimentally.

"What actually happened when I was under the water then?" She asked, realising she still didn't know.

"Well after Sirius's spell hit you and you went under some person with a black cloak on cast a spell and the lake just froze, I did a fire spell and it melted then I swam down and got you" He told her hurriedly, feeling very modest.

"Really...you un-froze the whole lake by yourself for me?" SHe asked, stopping on her stair.

"It wasn't that big of a deal" He replied, blushing a little and looking away from her.

Miley looked up at him for a moment before smiling, she then leant up and kissed him on the cheek.

His head flew back to her and she noticed his eyes were darker than usual

"Thanks" She told him sincerely.

He smiled down at her softly and they started going down the stairs again. Remus was now in such a good mood that he couldn't even remember why he'd been in a bad mood with his friends at all.

But against their knowledge there was someone else in their happy moment, in an alcove at the landing hid someone who could ruin Remus's dreams

He stepped out of the shadows and lent lazily on the wall and watched the pair move out of site

"Well played Werewolf, I am going to enjoy this even more now that he has the upper hand. I do love a challenge" He spoke softly, his voice would bring the hairs on the back of your neck to stand on edge because their was an underlining on malice. Evil hidden beneath his words and the Ravenclaw Vampire grinned. Oh yes he would enjoy taking his mate from another. It would make the victory so much sweeter...
