A/N: Oh my...In my haste to get the last chapter up, I completely forgot to put the spell Arya say's in the chapter.

Arya nodded and raised her wand towards the plain white ceiling. "sidfjosfjweo," A silver shimmer hit the ceiling and turned it black. Seconds later little white stars started appearing. Arya looked down satisfied. "It's not as lovely as Hogwarts' ceiling, but it'll do for now."

-Blushes- The spells I create are mainly from Latin words. I was just too lazy that night to look up some words. –sigh- I guess that's what I get for being lazy. Well, here's what she's supposed to say:

"Vesper Sidus"

And to anyone who is curious as to what that means from Latin to English: Evening Star Constellations.

With Tara in this fateful hour,
I place all heaven with its power,
And the sun with its brightness,
And the snow with it whiteness,
And Fire with all the strength it hath,
And Lightning with its rapid wrath,
And the winds with their swiftness along their path,
And the sea with its deepness,
And the rocks with their steepness
And the Earth with its starkness;
All these I place
By God's almighty help and grace,
Between myself and the powers of Darkness.

Chapter: At this fateful hour

"Where's Arya?" Asked Sirius. Today was Christmas morning, and after everyone opened presents, and ate breakfast Arya and Remus had gone missing. "She was just here!"

James shrugged, "She probably went with Remus somewhere." He looked up from the book he was reading, "Tactics of Quidditch Chasers: A Complete edition"; Remus had gotten it for him, for Christmas.

Sirius pouted, "She's hanging out with Remus more then she is me!"

"Talk to her about it, mate," Said James, "And tell her how you feel."

"Only chicks do that."

James shrugged, "I tell Lily everything. That's how it is in a relationship. You tell your loved one how you feel." He eyed Sirius, "If you're serious about Arya, then you're going to have to learn to become a bit more sensitive in the talking area." He took a sip of Pumpkin juice, "Are you serious about her?"

Sirius shrugged, "Maybe"

"Does it bother you that she's hanging out with Moony?"

"Yes, it does Prongs." He said "If I didn't know any better I'd say she was falling for him."

"Well, I can tell you one thing," He said "They've been going to our shop, to clean up the place, decorate it, you know?"

Sirius nodded absentmindedly, "Want to pay a visit to our dear friend and my girl?"

James put his book down and stood up. "Might as well, I'd like to see what they've done with the place." Sirius nodded and picked up his, and James' cloaks. "Maybe you're just over reacting."

"Let's hope so."

"It's beautiful!" Said Arya looking at the café inside, with delight and pride. "I especially like the gold and maroon touches on the walls. And the art! I had no idea you could draw."

Remus blushed and looked at his artwork. All over the walls moving pictures looked down upon them smiling. One large picture stood out. It was of the Marauders. James and Sirius were standing side by side, leaning on each other looking quite like brothers. Remus was sitting on the grass, leaning up against a tree, smiling at his friends. Peter was smiling with joy, as James brought out the snitch to catch. He tore his eyes away from the picture and looked at Arya. "Not many people know I can draw."

She nodded understandingly, "I'm sure the others will love this place."

"They'd better," He scoffed "With all the hours we put into cleaning this place."

Arya laughed, reached out and squeezed his hand. "They'll love it; now, onto your special place."

Remus nodded and led her into his mini Library. Her eyes widened in delight. All the books were placed on shelves and wooden tables were spotted every so often in the rows. "I'm putting some armchairs in the back by the windows. I think that'd be ok." He looked at Arya, uncertain to why her opinion meant so much to him.

"Well, I think it's lovely," She said smiling, "And I hope Sirius doesn't get jealous. I think I'll be spending more time in here then I will with him."

"I don't mind," He said softly, "It's someone to talk to."

She tilted her head to the side, as to say something, but thought better of it. "Come on, let's get back to the shop, I have a feeling we're going to have some visitors." 'Thank god Lily can talk back to me.' She thought, referring to her ability as an Allureian.

Remus nodded and followed her out into the shop. Not a minute later, Sirius and James came bellowing into the shop. Sirius' eyes brightened as he spotted Arya. "You're all right." He said ignoring Remus' questioning looks.

"Of course I am," She said confusedly, "I told Lily where I was going. This was supposed to be a surprise for all to see." She gestured to James, who was staring at the place in awe, "It was a present from Remus and me."

Sirius, for the first time, took in his surroundings and nodded. "The place looks bloody brilliant." He looked at Arya and Remus, "Truthfully."

Arya smiled brilliantly and pulled him into a hug, whispering. "You must thank Remus. He was willing to help me in this." Sirius nodded slightly.

Remus shifted slightly under Sirius look, feeling guiltily, for some reason. He hadn't done anything wrong by helping Arya had he? Or maybe it was the feeling he got when she was around that made him turn his head away from the smiling couple and to James, who was currently staring at the lights he strung up.

James walked with Lily, hand in hand, along the shores of the icy lake. They sat down in a quiet, secluded place and felt the crisp winter air fill their lungs. Freshly fallen snow was on the ground and occasionally a few flakes would fall into Lily's hair.

"Merry Christmas, Lily," Said James sweetly pulling out a black box. He handed it to her. She took it with a trembling hand, smiling up at him with unshed tears in her eyes. How could James Potter, the boy she swore to hate, make her this emotional?

She opened the box and gasped. Hanging from a silver chain was a crystal snowflake. The sun shone down on it, making it sparkle with mirth.

"It's gorgeous James," She said hugging him. "Thank you."

"That's not all," He replied taking out a small green box. At her nervous stare he smiled slightly, "It's a promise ring."

She nodded and watched him open it. Her eyes watered as he placed the silver ring, onto her finger. She just barely read the words on the ring, Ego Amo Te. 'I love you,' She thought. It was in Latin. Her favorite language.

"I promise you, Lily Evans, that I will never leave you." He squeezed her hand tightly, "I love you."

She wiped away a silver tear and wrapped her arms around his neck. "I love you too."

A month later

"I can't believe it," Priscy sobbed into her silkily golden pillow. The one she paid 5 gallons for and bragged about. "I thought he loved me."

Sabrina comforted her distressed friend, "Come now, Priscy, everything will be fine."

Priscy lifted her amber colored head and looked at Sabrina. "How? You're leaving! I will be all alone..." She sniffled, "And Remus has left me. Oh Bri, can't I come with you?"

Sabrina looked at her friends sadly, "You know that's not possible, Priscy. You've got a life here."

Priscilla nodded and laid her head down again, "I'll get over Remus. It'll take sometime, but, I'll do it for you Bri." She paused and looked up questioningly, "Do you know why he," She sniffled again, "Left me?"

Sabrina looked away, troubled. Her piercing blue eyes lived up to their name. Somehow Sabrina knew everything. After sometimes she said, rather slowly. "I do."

"Are you doing to tell me?"

"No"

"Well why not?" She demanded, "Don't I have the right to know?"

"Do I?" She asked mystically. "I only know for certain reasons. You must find out from him, not me."

"But...You know I can't talk to him in this state!" She whined, "I don't think I'm able to be in the same room as him."

"You two we're different," Sabrina said airily, "Too different for even the saying 'opposites attract' to actually mean something."

"We both loved the Library!" She countered

"For different reasons, Priscy," She said, "Whereas you might have gone there for a book on hair, Remus would go for studying." She sighed, "Just listen to me Priscilla. Everything will be fine now."

"How can it be fine?" She asked "I just lost the love of my life!"

"Snap out of it!" She said, "You know, as well as I do, that you and Remus wouldn't have lasted."

"It could have happened," She said stubbornly, "Besides, how do you know you and Drago will last?"

A look of pure bliss crossed Sabrina's face. "You will know in time when the right person comes along." She stood up, "I'll be gone for a while Priscy."

"Can you at least give me a hint about Remus?"

"At that fateful hour, he trusted heaven with all its power."

--

"You what!?" Asked James, "Why?"

"Listen," Said Remus, "Because I've explained it ten bloody times already and I'll Avada Kedavra myself if I have to say it once more." He paused, "I broke up with Priscilla."

"I know," Said James, "But why?"

"I'm getting there." He said, "Mainly because we're too different. End of story." He got up from his bed. "I'm going down to the kitchens."

James stood mouth agape and watched him go. Remus walked quickly through the halls, hoping not to run into anyone he knew. They all thought he was making a big mistake, was he? But, they didn't know exactly what was wrong. He reached the painting and tickled the pear. It opened and he was bombarded with House Elves.

"Just some coco," He said, going to sit down at the far wooden table by the fire. The portrait hole opened again and he heard a light voice say, "Chocolate Milk."

Someone walked over to where he was sitting and sat across from him. "Hello Remus."

Remus looked across to Sabrina and nodded. "Sabrina. What brings you here?"

"I love to have Chocolate Milk," She said smiling. The fire glow made her hair blue eyes flicker gold. "What about you?"

He shrugged, "Just someplace to go."

She nodded, "I thought you would have broken up with her sooner."

Remus stared at Sabrina in shock, "You knew?"

"I didn't know," She said, "But I did see. You did love her, for a while."

Remus nodded, "At least I thought I did." He sighed, "Then, well, I don't know what really happened."

"Some things aren't meant to last," She said wisely, "At least you didn't break up with her for, other reasons."

Remus looked at her sharply, "You...know?"

She nodded, "Ever since third year; when we did that section on Werewolves, in defense."

Remus looked away from her, "I can understand if you wouldn't like to be friends anymore. I'm used to it by now."

Sabrina chuckled, "Remus I've known for years, and I haven't treated you any different."

Remus looked at her, "Thank you Bri."

"But, I do need to ask you something?" She hesitated, "Are you sure this is what you want to do?"

Remus nodded, "I don't think I've even been so sure."

"But, you do know the consequences..." She trailed off

"If I don't try..." He stopped, "I'll have never lived."

A/N: I'm starting to think about the end of this story. Kind of hoping it will come soon, seeing as I'm already starting to think of another one. So, it'll be moving at a faster pace now. :)

And to anyone who's looking for an awesome James/Lily fic to read; DanceDiva has a great one named "The Prophecy". She also deserves more reviews, so get out there and read her story. :)

Important: Does anyone know how old James and Lily were when they had Harry? I forgot.

Black Emerald Dawn: I despise Peter too. But, I thought it'd be different to actually give him a reason to betray James and Lily. You'll find that reason soon. ;)
