Disclaimer, blah blah blah- Okay, here goes: JKR's stuff you should know by
now, anything that you don't recognize isn't hers, but my original
creations *evil grin*. I hope you enjoy this little fic, it is actually
more of a backstory to my Trinity Ferrell series, but can't say anything
more *wider evil grin* or I'll ruin the upcoming "third book" for you. This
is a story about JKR's Remus Lupin, forbidden love, and upholding my belief
that LOVE CONQUERS ALL. ^_^ Anyways, enjoy! ^_^

Chapter Two
Remus couldn't believe it. He was in the Muggle Realm! 'How far *did* I fall?' he wondered.
"Are you alright, Remus? You went pale for a moment... I know! You're probably starving! Let me get you something to eat," Danika rushed out of the room before he could say anything.
He had to be in the Muggle world... how did he not notice before? Danika's clothes were not the familiar long robes that he was used to... they were different, the clothes that he recalled from Muggle Studies. Pleasant blouses and jeams, were they called? He couldn't remember at the moment. Another clue was right in front of him the moment he awoke, the "moon" he had seen he could remember too from Muggle Studies, a lamp. Sighing, he looked back up at the lamp. His whole body ached and for the first time he noticed the rumbling in his stomach. He was hungry after all.
Danika returned a few moments later, carrying a plastic tray. "Sorry it's not much, but it's all we've got."
She came over to his bedside. "I hope you like it, a lot of people say I'm a pretty good cook but I'm not so sure..." She blushed modestly.
Remus slowly sat up, hunger overwhelming the pain he felt in his ribs. He took the tray from Danika and set it carefully on his lap. "Thank you," he smiled, and began to eat the soup that she brought to him.
"You're welcome," Danika said. "So you're from Hogsmeade? I've never heard of it, but I'm sure that someone there is probably worried sick about you. Would you like to call them up? Or I can drive you home if you'd like..." Her voice trailed when she saw his expression.
Remus looked down. "No, there's no one there for me anymore."
"Oh my gosh I'm so, so sorry! I didn't know, Remus..." She trailed off again, chewing on her lip nervously.
"It's alright... really, you didn't know," Remus smiled weakly at her.
There was a long silence, and Remus finished his lunch, which turned out to be very deliscious after all.
Finally, Danika spoke. "Actually, I know what it feels like to be alone... if it helps any."
Remus set down his spoon and turned to her, listening. "My parents died in a car accident five years ago, and ever since then it's been a living hell. I've been living here and there, with different relatives and friends, but they don't understand the pain I went through back then- the pain I still feel, really. You don't ever get over something like that, you know? It burns deep inside of you, until the day you die. People say to me all the time that I should move on, but how can you move on when you don't even know how to let go? I miss them both everyday, and I always wonder why something so horrible happened to them, and to me. And you go on through your life, trying to pick up the pieces, but no one understands why you act the way you do. They can't and they don't understand, you know? No matter how hard they try. Sometimes they make it worse. I feel... I dunno, almost... almost like I'm outcast, like I have no place..." She trailed off again thoughtfully, then turned to him. "I'm sorry, here I am rambling on and on, not even considerate to let you get your say in. I tend to do that- a lot." She blushed again, embarassed.
Remus was surprised. It was almost as if Danika had the same thoughts he had for so long. He too missed his parents, they were also tragically lost, and he knew the pain of being outcast and alone for something that was beyond your control. "That's alright, really. I know exactly what you mean, I do, and I mean that, Danika," he said softly, putting a hand on her shoulder comfortingly.
She smiled. "It's nice to have someone who understands what you've been through."
He smiled back and then asked, "So, um... how did you find me?" Remus hoped that this would make for a more comfortable conversation.
"Well, I found you in the forest behind my house this morning. I had to clear my head, and so I was just walking along the forest path. When I saw you laying right at the base of this really steep hill, at first I thought you were dead- and I panicked. But when I went over you were breathing, and I was so relieved. So I ran home and called my best friend and he came rushing over and helped me carry you into here. He helped me bandage you up too, he's training to become a doctor," Danika explained. "He's a nice guy, you'll have to meet him later. So, how are you feeling now?"
"Much better, thanks," Remus said, lowering himself back onto his pillow again. "That was the best meal I've had in days."
Danika blushed again, and picked up the tray. "Thank you, I'm glad you're feeling better... I'm going to go now, so you can get some rest, alright? Yell if you need anything, I'll just be taking care of a few things around the house." She smiled, then left quickly, yet again not letting him respond in anyway.
Remus laid back and sighed, closing his eyes. He wondered for a fleeting moment what Sirius or James or Peter were up to at this very moment. Most likely, James was with Lily doing God-knows-what; Peter was probably preparing for his classes with his tutor or reading; and Sirius was definitely raising hell in Romania. He missed his friends, and wondered what they would think when he told them how he spent his summer vacation- in the Muggle Scotland, hopefully not spending the entire vacation being nursed back to health by the modest and kind Danika.
'Thank God that the full moon was over,' he thought to himself. He didn't want to wake up and find his new friend torn to shreads, not after she cared for him and unknowingly put herself at risk with each moment she had been with him.
'No. Stop thinking like that,' he chided himself. 'I'll be better in less than a month, I have to be. Before the next full moon. I'll thank Danika for her kindness, say good bye, and just go back to the Shrieking Shack. It's that simple.'
Little did he know that it wouldn't be.

Please review me, I'm such a ham and love to be complimented, but I take the flames with the goodies... just let me know what you think so far, if this is a good story idea, if you like anything I've done or have disliked anything I've done... just please do me a favor, I KNOW THIS IS MARY SUE-ish so please don't label it as such~ what can I say *evil laughter* I am a romance writer, it seems Mary Sue like always at the beginning... but if you are familiar with any of my stories, there is always a catch...
Very special thanks to my reviewers- Rugi Gwena (check out their Tough Guide it's great LOL), Edesina, Ninamazing (you're welcome, BTW ^_^), Giggleing girl, Damaris, Carrotchicken13, Indus (hope I will not disappoint you too much my friend), Angel Celeste, Varevyce, and last but not least Cobalite who is helping me somewhat with this story, but not as much input for this story as in others. You're still a great beta, Coby-chan. ^_^ But this story is not going to follow the standard rules of HP fiction *hehehehe* I tend to take liberties with everything I write! I hope you all liked this chapter, sorry about the wait but I am trying to cycle my stories so I keep everyone happy ^_^. Please review and tell me what you think, the more reviews = more motivation to write more! ^_^
