"Lily?" A cool hand touched her cheek. Lily slowly opened her eyes.

"James…" She said. She looked around herself and realized she was in the common room in front of the dying fire. She looked outside and it was still dark and the full moon was still bright in the dark sky. She remembered why she was there. "Where's Remus? I need to talk to him."

"He's-uh- sick." James said.

"Don't lie to me, James. I want to know where Remus is." Lily said, getting fierce, but her voice faltering.

"He's outside." James said quietly. "Look. Remus isn't what you think he is. I mean, he is. But he's more than that."

Lily spilled her heart out to him. How she was so angry about Remus not telling her. Also, how she now realized how terrible were the things that she had told him last week, about her vacation in Belgium. She felt so bad when James told her how Remus' little sister died and his mother ran away. How could she be so awful? James sat by her and put a comforting arm around her.

"Remus will forgive you." That was all he could say to comfort her.

She put her head on his shoulder and cried. She then fell asleep, for the second time that night, but without the nightmares.

The next time she woke up, she could hear hushed voices.

"She knows, Remus." James said, his arm still around Lily.

"I was going to tell her tonight. This wasn't how she should've found out… Pretty shocked, wasn't she?" Remus said, shaking his head.

Lily opened her eyes.

"Remus…" Lily said, looking at him. His face was a pale, sick yellow color and he had dark circles under his eyes. His eyes were tired, but they were warm and welcoming as always.

"Lily, I understand if you never talk to me again. I'm sorry for not telling you for so long. I was afraid I would lose you." Remus said, now walking away.

"No Remus. I'm so sorry." Lily squeaked out. She got up. "What I said last week… I didn't know… I… You're not a werewolf. You're Remus." She hugged him and he hugged her back. "I'm so sorry about Cassie and your mom."

"It's okay. I was so scared of loosing you. You're one of my best friends Lily. I just couldn't tell you." Remus said. He smiled.

"James, thank you so much for last night." Lily said. James grinned and pat her back and left up to his dorm. Just then, Sirius and Peter came in.

"Did I miss something?" Sirius asked when he saw Lily's tear stained face and Remus holding her.

"She found out." He said simply. "I'm going go up and get some sleep." He let go of Lily and walked to his dorm. Sirius and Peter agreed and they followed him upstairs. Lily didn't need any sleep and also, it was early morning, time to take care of Twills. She felt guilty that she never told Remus about Twills. 'It's not a big deal anyway.' She reassured herself, even though her heart was screaming against.
