Disclaimers: Oh, yeah, by the way, I don't own any of them, except for Alixana Sansun and I like for you to know that.

MARAUDERER'S DAY

It took Remus and Alix a little bit to be able to break away from the others. They had insisted on harassing them and embarrassing them. They made their way to the Three Broomsticks. Safely ensconced in a booth near the back, Remus said, "I am glad that you came today."
"I wouldn't pass up a chance to be with you, Remus," Alix responded, blushing slightly.
"So, is it true or were they just messing with me?" Remus asked suddenly, regretting it as soon as it came out of his mouth.
Alix grinned, "Dddddeeeepends what you're talking about."
"Nothing," Remus took a drink from his Butterbeer.
"Come on, Remus," Alix laughed, reaching forward to tickle him.
Backing away, he spit some of this drink out on the table, "Don't tickle me." He was laughing so hard, he was crying.
She moved closer and continued tickling, "Tell me, Remus. Tell me."

With wolf like moves, he grabbed her wrists. She looked so beautiful. He leaned forward and kissed her lightly on the lips before pulling away and blushing. What neither of them noticed was that the salt shaker on the table cracked, spilling salt on the already dirty table.
She smiled and looked intently at her Butterbeer as she asked, "If I tell you something, do you promise not to laugh?"
"I could never laugh at you," Remus replied in all seriousness.
"I'vehadacrushonyousincethirdyear," Alix said really fast.
Remus smiled broadly as he moved closer to her on their bench seat, "I've had a crush on you since second year, Alixana."

PRESENT DAY

"Miss Sansun, have you seen Remus?" Molly asked as she opened the door to Alix's bedroom. The children had come to her, anxious because their beloved professor was not in his room. The children were still hot on her heels when she stopped in the doorway, seeing Remus and Alix cuddled up to each other, sound asleep.
"Go to the kitchen, children, Professor Dumbledore should be here by now," Molly said, hoping the children hadn't seen. ~~~~~
In the kitchen, Ginny was excitedly telling Ron, Hermoine, and Harry what she had seen, since she was the only one who got to look before Mrs. Weasly had made them leave, "They were both laying in the bed. They had their clothes on though, They were asleep-"
She was cut off by Professor Dumbledore's voice, "I need to tell you children a story. Will you sit down?"
Startled, they all did as their Headmaster asked. He began his story, "There is a legend that is very true that you children need to know. You also need to know before I begin that not everyone believes this legend. A long time ago there was a colony of people, who had befriended and lived among the unicorn. These people were the best people you could ever imagine. One day a neighboring tribe came in and started killing everyone in sight. They wanted to take over the unicorns. A lot of the colony fled for their lives, but one man stayed. He was able to drive the tribe from his land and save the unicorns, but at a cost to his own health. He laid there, bleeding to death. The unicorns, in order to repay this man, gave him some of their blood to run through his veins. This blood gave them enhanced powers-"
"But because of the love of the unicorns for the man, it did not give him half life, but a full loving life," Alix finished up for Dumbledore. "You still telling that story, Professor?"
Smiling at his once prized pupil, Dumbledore said, "Yes, Alixana, and you know that you believe in that story, too."
"It's just a tale Professor. It's just a tale," Alix said as she sat down in a seat. Remus sat next to her as if it was against his own will.
"I remember you telling us that story one year during a feast," Remus said looking curiously as Dumbledore.
"I only tell what's true, Mr. Lupin," Dumbledore smiled with a twinkle in eye.
