Q&A Section:

(I finally have questions to answer!)

Seshat- ~Shrugs~ I wanted to do at least one Remus POV in this story. The rest will be 3rd Person though. About the nine years, It's a really long story that I'm planning on putting in the squeal. But, basically their mom was one of the first Deatheaters and since Gwen looked so much like her mum, she was sent away by her grandfather. She then started showing odd powers that would have gotten Gwen killed by Ole Voldie when she was 6, so she was sent back and lived with James who knew nothing about her. 5th Year.

A/N: I don't think it's been mentioned but A. the only people who know that James and Gwen are even related are Lily, The Marauders, and staff of Hogwarts. (Which is how Rita can make her out to be a "Scarlet Woman".) B. How do they not know? Gwen goes by the last name of Perigree, their mum's maiden name. And Gwen's Marauder name is Elven Princess.

Also thanks to Hazelmist (One of my first reviewers) and AgiVega (The best Fanfic writer on FF.net).

Alright now let's get to the story!



Remus and Gwen sat there talking about everything from Astronomy to Zonko's for the next hour. There were several whispers going around on the dance floor about whether or not the two were going out. Some rumors even were saying that James and Sirius were taking bets on the subject. The last part, however, was completely rumored. James wasn't that immature.

Remus' light brown hair reflected what few lights there were in the hall as did his gray eyes and Gwen could feel her heart softly pounding in her chest. Remus suddenly broke her out of her trance though.

"Would you like to finally stand up and maybe dance?" He asked shyly. He was glad it was dark because his cheeks were slightly pink.

"I'd love too," replied Gwen and took his hand.

Remus led her out onto the dance floor among the sea of rumors, which they still heard nothing about. They glided across the floor with grace. Their fun was short-lived however when the sounds of a fight came from one side of the room.

Sparks flew from the wands that both Severus and James had seemed to completely forget about. Lily was standing nearby in shock, not wanting to try and break it up and only end up with a black eye. Remus ran over, still holding on to Gwen's hand to see what was going on.

"James Alexander!" Exclaimed Gwen. James looked over just long enough to get hit in the stomach. Professor Sprout was able to break the two up and glared at both of them.

"I would expect better behavior from two prefects," she said sternly. "25 points from both of your houses! Now, go up and see Madam Starlite and get those cuts fixed up. And if I hear about either of you fighting on the way up, I will make it 100 points." The Ravenclaws smiled. This put them in first place in house points. James and Severus trudged off, not noticing that the Head Girl was following them.

Everyone seemed to drift off to other places. Their entertainment was over, so quite a few went back to their houses. Remus went to Lily to find out what had happened.

"What happened with him all of a sudden?" asked Remus to a sniffling Lily, who was being handed a handkerchief by Gwen. Lily blew her nose then answered.

"Severus and Lucius have been saying things to him all night and I tried to tell him not to sink to their level no matter what they said, but Severus finally got to him and James punched him in the nose," replied Lily.

"What were they saying?" asked Gwen. Lily wiped her eyes.

"Oh, all sorts of things. Mainly how he was a disgrace to all wizards and the best he could do was a mudblood girlfriend," said Lily.

"I would have punched him too," said Remus. "And I'm supposed to be the calm one." That made the two girls laugh. "C'mon… let's go see how Prince Charming is doing."
