A/N: I decided to update once before my school term started. Yeah…that means I won't be able to update as much. Sorry about the long wait. I have a lot of reasons one being writers block. I know how I want this to end…I just don't know how to GET there. Oh well no biggie…let's get this thing going!
Disclaimer: If you recognize it, it's Rowling's! If you don't…it's most likely mine…I would claim Remus or Sirius…but then I'd be attacked by all of their fans out their…and I don't need that…so…ON WITH THE STORY!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Caitlin, Sirius, James, and Lily sat on a bus stop bench watching Remus pace back and forth looking at his watch. James looked down at his own watch then back up at Remus, "Remus…chill…it's only 6:55…she'll be here," James said. Remus shot James a worried look then started pacing again. Caitlin looked around at the muggles that were passing them, going into the theater, "Well…at least they aren't giving us weird looks," she said giving a worried glance to Remus. Sirius smiled and put his arm over Caitlin, "Don't worry…Remus is always like this for a date. Well I would assume…I've never seen him on one," Sirius said. Remus glared at Sirius and was about to retort when he felt a tap on his shoulder. Remus spun around and smiled, "Romulus," he said happily. Sirius snickered but Caitlin elbowed him so it came out sounding like a choke. Remus wasn't paying attention anymore…Rommie was there…she hadn't turned him down after all. Rommie flicked Remus on the ear, he winced, "I told you…call me Rommie," she said smirking. He smiled and put his arm over her shoulder. She smiled at him and the two led the way into the theater.
They took their seats, which were pretty good actually. They watched the play and enjoyed it thoroughly. When it was over they got up to exit and walked out into the cool night air. They were about to go down an alley and apparate to a coffee house when Sirius felt a tap on his shoulder. He spun around and was greeted by an aged wizard with a long white beard and half moon spectacles. "WHAT THE HELL…oh…Dumbledore…err…hi," Sirius stuttered. Dumbledore chuckled, his blue eyes twinkling, "Enjoy the performance Sirius," Dumbledore asked. Sirius nodded and smiled, "Yeah…it was great…err…what brings you to New York," Sirius asked. Dumbledore smiled, "Many things Mr. Black…many things," Dumbledore said. Remus, who had been following the conversation, noticed a dark look cross Dumbledore's face when he told Sirius why he was here, 'wonder why,' Remus thought. Dumbledore was probably there on some business about Voldemort…though he would never admit it. It had never been proven that Voldemort had followers in America, but still.
Remus shook his head and stepped forward, "Well it's good to see you Dumbledore…I'd like to introduce my date, Romulus or Rommie," Remus said pulling Rommie forward. Rommie smiled and put out her hand, "So you're the famous Dumbledore," she said. Dumbledore took her hand, "Good Evening Miss Romulus," he said then turned to Caitlin, who was standing nervously next to Sirius. "Good Evening…and who is your date Sirius," Dumbledore asked kindly. Caitlin stepped forward taking Dumbledore's hand and managed to introduce herself. Dumbledore smiled at all of them and then noticed that Peter was not with them, "Where is Mr. Pettigrew," Dumbledore asked casually. James shrugged his shoulders, "He couldn't get a date so he didn't want to come," he said. Caitlin looked a little upset by the way James just shrugged it off but said nothing of it. "Would you like to join us for some coffee," Lily asked the headmaster. He nodded, "That would be nice," he said. Caitlin and Rommie exchanged glances, it wasn't often one could dine with Dumbledore…not in America anyway. So together they apparated back to the wizarding village of Franklin Cove to have coffee and talk about wizarding matters.

It was the crack of dawn, though the trees in the forest you could see a black hooded figure moving through them. The figure moved gracefully and with great care, so as not to crack any twigs. The figure came to a clearing in the deep woods and stopped, the figure sensed someone. Then suddenly a horde of more cloaked figures appeared, surrounding the first one. Then from them stepped a tall dark man with red eyes, "How is your mission going," he asked in a hiss of a voice. The first figure shivered, the figure was afraid of the voice but the figure regained it's composure and stated, "All is going as according to plan…I have gained his trust," the figure said in what you could easily tell was a feminine voice.
The male leader nodded, "Good…we wouldn't want this to fail…you know what will happen if you do," he said his eyes narrowing. The female figure turned her cloaked head, looking away, "Yes Dark Lord…I do," she said gulping down a cry of despair. He smiled, "Good…then we understand…I want your mission completed before the next full moon," he said. The female figure bowed, "I understand," she said and then stood up. The male turned to walk out of the throng of followers but paused and turned back to face the girl, putting his cold hand into her hood and rubbing her cheek, "And do remember dear…you must not kill Wormtail…he is…of importance to me," the male figure said and with that disappeared. The throng then vanished as well leaving the cloaked female to her own devices.
As soon as they were gone the figure collapsed to the forest floor and let out a despairing cry. She cried for a while then wiped her tears away with the black sleeve of her cloak. "I don't know what to do anymore," she said to herself. "He's so kind…but…my family," she said and looked up at the trees. "What am I to do…DAMMIT," she shouted and pounded the forest floor, sending the early morning birds to fly away, from her sudden outburst.

Remus looked at the calendar on the wall, the 13th of June was marked with a big yellow circle and in it was written 'full moon.' Remus sighed, he could feel it approaching, and it was already the 6th he knew soon he would start feeling horrible. How could he possibly see Rommie again before that time? Remus ran a hand through his hair, he could always TELL Rommie. Of course then she would probably hate him and run. "Shit…I haven't even told Lily's cousin yet…I wonder if Lily has," he asked himself out loud. Sirius rolled over in his bed and mumbled, "Stop talking to yourself Remus…people will start to think your nutters," Remus chuckled, Sirius wasn't really one to talk about being 'nutters.' Remus sighed again, "Still…I'll have to tell Caitlin eventually…I just hope she lets me continue to stay…it's not like I'll be in her house during the moon," he said and shivered. He felt exhausted, well it was the crack of dawn so he had reason to be. Remus stretched and then threw himself on his bed, falling asleep instantly and dreaming of Rommie the whole night…or morning.
