The next morning Sam woke up and she felt Remus arm wrapped tightly round her waist, "Remus we gotta wake up" she said shaking him and he groaned "sorry love" she said and he opened his eyes as she got up off the bed and picked up his clothes. He sat on the bed with his head in his hands, he couldn't believe what he almost did last night. If Sam hadn't of came along he would have killed snape, Sam broke him from his thoughts kneeling down in front of him. "Remus what's wrong?" She asked seeing tears in his eyes "I'm no good for you Sam, you could have seriously got hurt last night" he said and she shook her head and laughed "Remus the wolf won't do a thing to me, it knows I'm it's mate" she said running her hand through his hair "I'm safe with you" she added kissing him making Remus smile slightly "anyway now you've marked me you can't get rid of me" she said and Remus chuckled.
"What are we going to do about snape, he's not stupid I'm sure he's worked it out by now what I am" he said and Sam nodded "I know it I'm sure Dumbledore will have sorted that out, he will have talked to snape" she said and Remus sighed and nodded "ok" he said and she smiled and stood up and Remus pulled his clothes on before they headed back to the castle. Just as they were making their way across the grounds Sirius and James were making their way down "there you guys are, we were worried sick when Sam didn't come back last night" James said "as you can see I'm fine and in one piece" she said and Sirius went over and gave her a hug. "I'm sorry guys, it's all my fault" Sirius said and Sam and Remus frowned "what do you mean all your fault?" Sam asked and Sirius stepped back "I thought I'd pull a prank on snape and hunted to him about the tunnel to the shrieking shack" he said "what when you knew Remus would be there! Are you an idiot!" Sam snapped shoving him "Sam whoa stop" Remus said pulling her back.
"He doesn't realise what he's done Remus! He could have killed snape!" Sam said and Remus frowned "I do realise Sam because it would have been blood on my hands not anyone else's, yes he shouldn't have done it but there's nothing we can do about it now. There's no point on us falling out because of it" he said and she sighed frustrated "guys I don't want you two to fight over this" Sirius said and James sighed "look it was a long night last night let's all go have some breakfast and we can talk about it after lessons today" he said and Remus nodded "good idea" he said guiding Sam back to the castle and the boys followed. They headed to their dorms and washed and changed before heading down to the great hall for breakfast, just as they were heading into the great hall they bumped into snape who wouldn't look at any of them. "Sev..." Sam started but he rushed off in the opposite direction from the great hall and when she went to follow Remus tugged at her hand "no I need to talk to him" she said pulling her hand out his grip.
She ran off and went in the direction of snape, she knew there was one place in the castle that he always went to when he wanted to be alone and that was the dungeons. She headed down and found him in one of the unused classrooms "sev I want to talk about last night" she said and he shook his head "Sam it's fine Dumbledore told me everything I promise I won't tell anyone" he said and she sighed "can you at least look at me while your talking" she said and he looked up at her. "Are you ok?" She asked and he nodded "I got one hell of a shock but I'm fine" he said and she nodded "I'm glad" she said and he smiled. "We were always better off as friends anyway" he said and she chuckled "well I know you were never really in love with me, I know you were just trying to get over Lilly" she said and snape sighed looking down at his hands "I don't think I ever will" he said and Sam looked at him sadly.
"It hurts seeing her with James doesn't it" she said and he nodded "like hell" he said "you know if you ever want to talk I'm here" she said and he nodded "I know but I think for now it's best if we don't hang out, I don't want to get on the wrong side of Remus" he said and Sam nodded "he can be protective but that's just the wolfs nature" she said and he nodded "you better head back before he comes looking for you" he said.
Sam sighed knowing that was the end of their conversation and little did she know it would be there last. Over the next coming months they were all engrossed with the revision for their exams, between revising and their patrols it didn't give Sam and Remus much free time and when they had it they used it to their full advantage. Sam began noticing that nearer the moon Remus began to become more touchy and when they did have sex he couldn't stop kissing her stomach afterward mumbling words against it. It was the early hours of Sunday morning and the Gryffindors party for the seventh years as their last blow out before their exams started was dying down, couples moved to more private locations and some who were too drunk to go to their rooms passed out in the common room. Sam and Remus however had snuck out and were in the astronomy tower looking out at the moon "it's tonight isn't it" she said and Remus nodded "yeah well Sunday night is the full moon" he said wrapping his arms round her waist "see there" he said pointing out "it looks full but it's just not quite there" he added and she nodded relishing in the feel of his arms around her.
"I can't believe our exams start this week" she said and he nodded "I know it's crazy" he said kissing her neck causing her to giggle. "Remus" she said trying to push him off but he grabbed her hands and kissed her, Sam could never resist him and he pinned her against the wall and Sam moaned into his mouth. He lifted her and she wrapped her legs round his waist and Sam heard him rip her underwear off "I love when you wear skirts" he said holding up the shreds of her underwear "you owe me a new pair" she teased and he slid his jeans and boxers down. Remus went to thrust "whoa there Remus the charm" she said and he shook his head "no charm" he growled kissing her neck and began sucking her mark. "Remus...I...I...cant...ohh god fuck it" sam stuttered out before crashing her lips to his and he smirked and thrusted. It didn't take them long to hit their highs at the frenzied pace Remus was going and they collapsed to the floor in a heap Sam in Remus lap.
Remus placed his hand on Sams stomach and buried his head in her neck "baby Sam, I want a baby" he whispered and she sighed. This is what she was afraid of, the warning Dumbledore had given them and it was too late now. They eventually got up and Remus seemed to come back to himself "did he take over again?" He asked quietly and she nodded "yeah but it's fine love, don't worry" she said giving him a quick kiss to reassure him even though she was freaking out on the inside. She was supposed to be going off to do her healer training after she graduated but if she got pregnant she wouldn't be able to, she knew Remus was going to have a hard time finding a job and keeping it while keeping his lycanthropy a secret. They headed back to the dorms and when it came to the stairs Remus gave her hand a tug "Come stay with me, we'll only get a couple of hours anyway" he said and she shook her head "I'm going to shower before getting a couple of hours, I'll see you at breakfast" she said and he frowned "but..." he started but she cut him off "Remus your just getting possessive because of the moon" she said "go get a couple of hours, it'll be a long night for you" she said and he sighed and nodded "ok" he said kissing her and they went their separate ways.
