Author's notes: I'm really, REALLY sorry I haven't updated in so long.
First I had an obligation to another story on another screenname that I
hadn't updated since March, and then I was out of town so......
Anyway, thank you to White Elf, The Jedi Wizard Hobbit, Dara finVidya, Dadiiaro (is that spelled right?), and Bell. I appreciate the reviews. This is the second longest story I've written (the first is twenty-one chapters), cause lots of reveiws help me to keep hope, and finish a story. And I'll tell you, I've had some utter failures to catch peoples' interest.
ACK, I'm just rambling on, aren't I? Well, in that case, let's get the the disclaimer and then the story.
Disclaimer: I don't own Sirius, Remus, Harry, Hogwarts, or anything else mentioned that you literature fans recognize.

Amelie was startled out of her sleep and somebody shook her. She picked up her head, and looked straight into the face of the head librarian.
"Excuse me miss, but we're closing now. If you would like to borrow these books, it would be perfectly fine," he said gently.
"Oh, I'm sorry for keeping you," she said, somewhat drowsily, shuffling through the books on the table that she wanted to keep. "I can't believe I fell asleep."
The librarian smiled. "You've been studying pretty hard all day."
Once Amelie had all her stuff she went up to the desk to check her books out. As she walked out of the library, she took a look at the books in her hands.
When she got home, she sat down at the coffe table and returned to the book she had left off on.
"You look tired," Mike said, entering the room. "but proud."
Amelie lifted her head, and said with a smile, "Three and a half weeks of studying, and no Remus."
Mike looked confused for a moment. "You're proud because you haven't seen......Remus."
"Yup! He's a bit distracting." Amelie didn't really realize what she'd said, until Mike aquired a knowing smile.
"NO!" she exclaimed. "I didn't mean it THAT way!"
Mike came over and sat down, taking her hands. "Amelie, when you find somebody distracting, you tend to either be in love with them, or have a very huge crush."
Amelie looked down at her books.
"You probably find him pretty distracting even when you're not with him."
That's when she saw it. At first she rubbed her eyes, to make sure she wasn't dreaming. No. In her history book was the name Remus J. Lupin.
"Look," she said, turning the book and pointing at his name. "he's famous."
Mike looked down at the book and read for a moment. Then he grabbed the book and ran out the door with it. She jumped after him, and made a grab for the book. But he was faster than her, and was already down the road.
There was no avoiding it now. She wanted to know what the book was talking about.

When Amelie got to the chocolate shop the next morning, nothing seemed to be happening. Sirius and Mike sat at the table, Remus behind the counter doing something or other. When they came in, Remus looked most uncomfortable of all.
"So," Amelie said casually. "What're you famous for?"
Remus stopped what he was doing for a moment, his eyes closed. "I," he paused for a moment, then continued. "I am the first an only magically educated werewolf, in the world."
Whatever Amelie was expecting it wasn't this. At first she felt shock, and then anger. "I should have known," she said quietly. "Often in between jobs . . . . . . . severe lack of sleep?" her voice was raising to a dangerous pitch. She didn't notice as Mike and Sirius slipped out of the door.
Remus came around the counter, but Amelie pulled her wand out and pointed it at him. "Just leave me alone!"
With that she stormed out of the shop.
