Anyway Enjoy

Two months had pasted and things had settled down. Being the new transfers had worn off on Kaira, Draco and Hermione. They spent some sleepless night in the Room of Requirements lost and found room looking for the diadem and working out ways to kill the basilisk. Draco had spent many night in the Gryffindor tower going over plans that he had become an honorary member, though he did often get strange looks.

Alecto was still on the war path, her hair had grown only slightly back, she was still looking have eliminated people from Slytherin and Hufflepuff. She now had much of her attention on Ravenclaw slowly pick through the 5th years. Draco had been keeping an ear out for when she did find out it was Kaira so he could give her warning.

The Marauders had become quiet curious about the three students, though it was more because when one full moon had been coming up their resident werewolf had opted to surrounding himself with the certain raven haired girl of their trio.

It was coming up to the second moon of the school year, it was only a days away. Sirius, James and Peter where currently surrounding the Marauders Map looking for said werewolf. Being a Saturday James and Sirius had an early morning Quidditch practice for their up and coming game against Hufflepuff. Peter had gone along to watch as Remus stated he would be off to the Library.

Though when the three marauders wandered up to the Library they found that their sandy haired friend was no were to be seen. As they looked over the map they were surprised to find that Remus was in the potions room with, not surprisingly, Kaira.

Grabbing James invisibility the three boys headed down to the dungeons, wrapping the cloak around them the slowly walked towards potions room. They thanked their lucky stars that Professor Slughorn was walking into the room and they were able to duck in behind him.

"Now, I'm going to leave you too here. I trust that you'll behave yourselves yes?" Slughorn questioned they both gave a yes before he proceeded to leave. Kaira was over a cauldron and working on a potion from what the boys could see where as, Remus was sitting at the other side of the desk doing over a book making notes.

"So this potion what is it?" Remus questioned as he set down his quill and stood from the table walking towards her. She was stirring slowly, adding a different herb on every lap around.

She gave Remus a smile as he came to stand close to her.

"It really more of an experiment. I just wanna see if I can make it" Kaira explained as she picked up several Pixy wings and dropping them in. She charmed with stirrer to stir at a quicker pace as she went to one of the cupboards on the wall, she gave an annoyed sigh as she tried to reach the wolfsbane that was on the very top shelf.

Her fingers just grazed it when she saw Remus hand wrap about the glass container. Kaira felt her face heat up as she felt Remus body press up against hers. He pressed her into the bench in front of her as he slowly brought the container to settle on it.

"There you go" He breathed into her ear before walking back to the desk. Kaira stood leaning against the desk trying to get her face to cool down. Her hand shakily grasped at container and she kept her head down as she walked back to the cauldron. She slowly chopped up the wolfsbane carefully, keenly aware that Remus was watching her closely.

"So what kind of potion is it?" Remus asked again.

"When I was growing up, a friend of my mothers suffered from a disease. He never had control over it, but when I turned 13 he was able to get someone who could make a kind of settler for him. It made the symptoms of it less and easier for him to cope. That's what I'm trying to make." Kaira explained as she let the stirrer keep going at a slow speed.

"That still doesn't tell me anything" Remus told her as she came to sit beside him. She pulled out her D.A.D.A homework.

"He was.. He was a werewolf" Kaira told him, she was hesitant, she didn't want him to know she knew what he was so soon but the entire reason she was experimenting with the Wolfsbane potion was because she wanted to be able to make it for him. Remus tensed at this, she'd lived around a werewolf.

"Oh, Remus. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said anything. I forget that maybe not everyone is as accepting as werewolves as I am" Kaira fake gushed, she knew he was more concerned that she knew what he was.

"Oh, no. Don't worry I've just never really had an opinion on them" Remus lied as he kept his eyes to the table. "So what does this potion do?"

"Well, when he transforms it allowed him to keep his human mind" Keira told him as she got up to check the potion. A deep frown graced her face, the colour had changed to a very pale white. She let out a sigh before waving her want over the cauldron and watching the ruined potion disappear. "Well it would if I could make it properly".

"Sounds like a big thing, I haven't heard of it" Remus told her as he watched her pack away the ingredients she had laid out on the table.

"I think when he started it, it was being trailed at that point and it's probably going through ministry approve and things like that I guess" Kaira told him as she reached high to put the wolfsbane back. Just as she had gotten it back on the shelf the door to the potions room opened.

There stood an extremely pissed off looking Alecto her wand in her hand and several other Slytherins following behind her.

"It was you" Alecto screeched as she pointed her wand as Kaira. Kaira merely quirked one of her eye brows at the Slytherin.

"And what proof do you have?" Kaira questioned, turning her back to the girl. She wasn't the slightest bit worried that she might attack her while her back was turned.

"You came into our common room with Draco, it had to have been you. I'm going to make you pay" Alecto screamed at her, Kaira merely looked the girl up and down. She could see out of the corner of her eyes Remus moving towards her. "Stay out of this Lupin"

Kaira looked towards Remus holding her hand up to him, stopping his approach and offered him a small smile.

"Okay Alecto, you want revenge, go for it. Give me your best shot" Kaira challenged her, a smirk spread across her face.

Alecto sneered at her, raising her want she started casting jinx at Kaira. But Kaira moved much quicker every time Alecto cast a spell Kaira would easily block it. Alecto was becoming angrier with every block, her spells where becoming more and more dangerous.

At some point the other 3 Marauders had pulled the invisibility cloak off them, though Remus knew how they got their they might have had a harder time explaining it to Kaira. They watched with interest as Kaira made it look all to easy to keep Alecto at bay, that was until Alecto pulled her little Slytherin friend into. Remus quickly jumped in front of Kaira as she was hit with a Jelly legs jinx his wand raised. Sirius, James and Peter too jumped in.

"Where the hell did you three come from" Alecto screamed as she tried to land another shot at Kaira but having James block.

"It doesn't matter, you made this an unfair fight" Sirius hissed.

Alecto made to say something but the door to the potions room door slammed open to reveal Professor Slughorn.

"What's going on in here?" He demanded.

"Oh Professor," Alecto started to fake, "We came in here to practice some of those potions we did last class but when we got here Black started making fun of me Sir, and then the female Black started gloating that she was the one that caused it" she let out a fake wail as she ran to hide behind Slughorn. "Then they attack us Professor, we were only trying to protect ourselves"

"Is this true?" Slughorn asked the group of Slytherins to which they all nodded. "And what do you lot have to say for yourselves" Slughorn questioned them.

"She's a lying Professor" Remus exclaimed, " Kaira and I were working on and Sirius, Jame and Peter had joined us not long after you left. Then Miss Carrow came in accusing Kaira of being the one to make her hair fall out and then she started attacking"

Slughorn looked between the two groups, he looked towards Kaira who was still on the floor her legs being completely unwilling to cooperate.

"Well how about everyone just say their sorry and leave it at that. No one will get detention and everyone can leave" Slughorn, trying not to obviously get on the bad side of any important family's offered them. They was a grumbled round of apologies from both parties and Slughorn shooed the Slytherins out before going over to Kaira.

He did a counter for the Jelly legs jinx before allowing her and the Marauders to leave. Kaira walked unsteadily up the stairs with her bag slung over her shoulder. Remus caught her a few times her legs still getting over the effects of the jinx.

"Thank you" She said to them, "For stepping in, I should have known she wouldn't like taking me on one on one".

"You were awesome though" James exclaimed as they reached the top of the stairs. "Where did you learn to duel like that?"

"I picked it up really but I guess I had a lot of practice" Kaira explained as they headed towards the great hall.

For the rest of the day Kaira headed to the Library, telling Hermione what had happened though she kept a lot of details out as, when she arrived Hermione wasn't alone. Lily and Severus where with her.

The Marauders headed back up to their dorm after they had gotten come lunch. Remus sat on the edge of his bed, his mind wandering to Kaira's admission of knowing a werewolf.

"So what are you going to do?" Sirius asked as he sat himself on James bed, looking toward Remus. Peter was leaning against Remus bedside table in between James and Remus bed, while James was playing with his prized snitch.

"Do about what?" Remus questioned the raven hair boy.

"Kaira, she used to know a werewolf, so are you going to tell her" Sirius questioned.

"I… I don't know. What if she becomes scared of me? What if she doesn't want anything to do with me?" Remus worried, "what if I hurt her?"

"Did you see the way she handled herself. Mate, though I doubt you'd hurt her, she obviously very capable of handling things" James tried to reason with him.

"Plus she the way she spoke about that other guy sounds like she cared about him a bit" Peter squeaked in.

"That reminds me" Remus changed the subject, he didn't want to hear things that would only get his hopes up, "how long where you actually there?"

The other three Marauders looked sheepishly at each other, muttering something about being there long enough. Remus threw a pillow at Sirius when he told the werewolf he never knew he had such moves and how flustered Kaira was. The four boys stayed in their room throughout dinner plotting new pranks and planning how to get back at Alecto.

Kaira had returned back to the common room after finishing her dinner, she hesitated at the bottom of the boys dorm stairs wanting to go up and see Remus before decided against it. She wandered up the stair to her dorm having a shower and getting into bed. She tossed and turned for much of the night.

Kaira was almost glad when morning came, still not having gotten much sleep she jumped out of bed getting changed into a pair of jeans and shirt and jacket before going down to the great hall. When she arrived the hall only had a few student and teachers having breakfast.

Having been extremely hungry Kaira started piling food on her plate. She ate slowly watching as different houses table started filling she was paying attention to the teachers table when she felt someone sit beside her. She turned to find Remus, looking as though he hadn't slept at all much like her.

"Your up early" Kaira commented as she poured herself a drink or orange juice. She felt Remus move closer and the she watched out of the corner of her eyes as he rested his head on her should.

"Had a bad nights sleep" He murmured as he nuzzled into the side of her neck. She looked around noticing that no one was actually paying attention to them.

"You should eat something and then go up and see if you can get more sleep" Kaira told him, " that's what I'm going to do when I'm finished here"

"You should come with me and we can sleep together" Remus mumbled against her neck, she half wandered if it was the wolf talking.

"If you eat I will" She tried coaxing him. He made a noise of agreement as he moved his head away from her neck and started eating. It was still early which explained why she had yet to see the other Marauders or even Draco and Hermione yet.

To Kaira's surprise, Remus ate a lot, she would never have guess seeing as he never really ate that much back in her time. When he finished his food and the last of his pumpkin juice he laced his fingers through hers. He lead her from the Great Hall as they left passing Lily, Remus murmured a greet and Kaira offered a wave.

He lead her all the way to the common room where she told him that she need to change into more comfortable clothes, he made a grumble complaint but let go of her hand. Kaira dashed up the stairs quickly changing out of her clothes into a singlet top and a pair of sweat pants that where rolled at her hips because they where too long.

As she walked back down stairs, she found Remus leaning against the wall outside the boys dorm stairs. He looked her up and down before swallowing thickly his eyes flickered from their normal blue to the ember she associated with his wolf.

He offered her his hand before leading her put the boys stairs. Just outside door he told her that she need not to make a noise so not to wait the other. Which she could understand, to many questions and not enough sleep for patients to answer them.

He opened the door quietly and looked seeing that the other three had yet to moved from their beds. He walked with Kaira hot on heels over to his bed.

"Get comfortable, I'll just go change" Remus whispered into her ear. His pick up a pair of pj pants and headed for the bathroom. Kaira looked around before heading to Remus bed. It was surprisingly clean for a boys dorm, though she guess the house elves had their work cut out for them.

She pulled the covers back and snuggled under blankets. She laid on her back until she heard the bathroom door open. She looked towards the door and notice that Remus didn't have a shirt on. She could feel a blush rising, she moved her eyes to look back up at the curtains that where draped over the top of the bed frame. When she felt him pull the sheets back she rolled to her side with her back towards him to make more room for him.

She felt him shift behind her, thinking he was lying on his back until she felt a warm arm snake its way around her waist. Pulling her towards him. Kaira's breathing picked as Remus held her tightly to him.

"Is this okay" he whispered into her ear. She gave him a nod not trusting herself to speak, he gave a hum into the back of her head.

Kaira noticed just how awake she was now. She became hypersensitive to where Remus body touched her, as of now she could feel the raise and fall of his checks against her back. And his arm around her waist with his hand on her stomach, his thumb drawing lazy circles.

She focused on his thumb drawing circle, she left herself relax. As her eyes became heavier she thought he murmured something but didn't think anything of it as she fell into the darkness.

It was well into the afternoon before they were disturbed by anyone and at that the only one disturbed had been Remus. He could feel come one watching him, as a reflex he tighten his grip around Kaira. Then he felt someone poke his back, a growl erupted from his throat.

"Merlin Moony, it's just me" Sirius' voice came from behind him. Remus slowly turned his head looking through blurry eyes towards the raven haired boy. He slowly removed his arm from around Kaira as he moved to sit on the edge of the bed.

"What time is it?" Remus questioned quietly as he rubbed both his eyes in an attempt to focus them.

"It's almost time for you to head" Sirius said as he kneeled down in front of his friend.

"Let her sleep" Remus muttered as he stood from the bed heading for his clothes, Sirius mere nodded. Once Remus was dressed they headed down to the common room where Jame and Peter were waiting.

"Did you work of some of that pre mood energy Moony" James teased as his wolf friend emerged.

Remus mere threw him an unamused look, before turning to Sirius, "You stay here and watch over her" Remus was never one for ordering his friends but Sirius could tell by the haze of yellow that covered his eyes, wasn't just Remus making this request.

"Of course, Mate. Just take care" Sirius gave Remus a reassuring smile. The sandy haired boy relaxed offered a small smile for heading out the portrait with James and Peter in two. Sirius headed back up stairs more then prepared for a sleepless night.

Okie dokie, everyone let me know what you think!
