Disclaimer: If you don't quit teasing me that I don't own Harry Potter, you'll have an extra nostril to breathe through.

Reaka: All right. Here it is. This is in Remus's point of view, so I'm taking a break with Maru, Rose, and all the other people. So here's Remus point of view.

A Friend?

That was what I told her. She was only a friend to me. Why did I do it? She finally confirmed that she was in love with me. And James and Sirius sure as hell knew about me liking her. Lily too. She knew just as well as the guys.

So the question still burns in my head sixteen years after that whole incident. Why did I only tell her that I was her friend?

Because of what I am.

Sure, she loved me then. Maybe she still thinks about me now, wherever she may be. But what if she saw me as the monster that I am? The slave to the full moon?

She would just scream and run in terror, just like any other girl would do if they saw the hideous form I took every full moon. It wouldn't matter that my human form is the one she loves. I'm a monster.

And Peter.

I had almost told her my love for her the night I helped her with her homework. It may seem odd, but I'd noticed her since her first year, when she first met Lily. I almost said something to her, but I didn't know then she loved me.

I hesitated to make my move, and right when I was about to, I was too late. Peter had already moved in, and she'd already said yes to him. Naturally, I was jealous of him. It seemed kind of odd that I, Remus Lupin, would be jealous of Peter Pettigrew for anything. But I definently was when he and Maru were together. I always had to distance myself just to keep from strangling that bastard.

In the end, it turned out that he was actually forcing her into it. I was so angry I wanted to go back in that room Sirius and I found her in and kill him for what he did to her. He knew that she was so shy she wouldn't say anything. And he used that to his advantage.

I never talked to him again. The others let it go after a week, but I never once said one thing to him after that whole incident. Oh sure, we saw each other after Hogwarts, but we never once talked. That was something I will never forgive him for.

Maru.

I can't go a day without thinking about her. Everyday, I wonder if she's still alive out there. Or did Voldemort find her and kill her for being a Muggle-born as well. I pray everyday that Maru's alive and well. I don't know what I'd do with myself if I found out that she'd died years ago. I'd probably kill Voldemort alongside Harry. Or maybe kill Peter. Either one would satisfy me.

Though, unfortunately, I'll probably never see her again. And she'll never know how much I loved her then and still love her after all these years.

Now a days, when I'm not hiding out with the order and risking getting killed by Voldemort, I just hope for a little miracle that there will be a way that I can see Maru's face once again.

(Third person but still with Remus)

He walked down the Muggle streets of London towards the Leaky Cauldron. He couldn't help but feel like he needed to be here at this point in time. It was as if a sixth sense was telling him something was about to happen soon. But he wasn't sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing.

"Excuse me, sir," a voice said. He looked down. A woman stood there looking up at him.

"Do you happen to have a shilling on you?" she asked. "I ran out, and I need to call my daughter."

"I'm sorry," he answered. "I don't have any money."

"Oh well," she said. "Thanks anyway. I guess I'll just surprise her tonight when I show up at her sitter's instead of tomorrow morning."

"How old is she?"

"She's..."

A scream interrupted their conversation. A cloaked figure stood in the middle of the sidewalk with his wand raised. There was a dead man next to him.

"Oh no," Remus whispered.

The cloaked figure looked up and saw Remus in the crowd.

"Remus," it said. "My good friend. It's been a while hasn't it?"

"Peter."

"You know that killer?" the woman asked.

"He used to be a friend," Remus said. "But not anymore. Stay back. I don't want you getting killed."

"It won't matter," Peter said. "I'll just kill her first!"

He threw a curse at her, and the woman fell. Remus ran to her side. Her chest poured out blood, and she looked up at him.

"Find my daughter," she whispered. "You tell her that I love her. Okay?"

"I don't even know her name," Remus said.

"Rose. Her name is Rose Honey. Find her. Tell her I love her. Will you? Please?"

Remus nodded. Peter stepped to them.

"Avada Kedavra," he said. The woman died.

"Peter, as Merlin as my witness, I will be the one to kill you," Remus vowed.

"So touchy," Peter said. "Better hope I don't find that Muggle girl first. I'll make her suffer even more than this one did."

Peter smiled the smile Remus remembered Maru hating so much. Then he turned into a rat and ran away from the crowd.

Remus felt a sense of dread as he watched Peter run away in his rat form. But then a new thought hit him that made him leave the woman and start looking for the girl. If Peter was on the trail of Rose, it was very possible he would find Maru as well. Maru was a Muggle-born, and she was now in danger.

"Accio broomstick!"

His broomstick came to him, and he flew off to 12 Grimwauld Palace to look for Dumbledore and ask if he knew anything about Maru.
