He Dreams of Her

Remus spent the rest of the day being entertained by the other boys. James, concerned with his well-being, made it a point to keep everyone laughing, especially Remus. The fourteenagers wound upgoing to bed at about onethat morning, after nearly driving James' mother up the wall with their constant pranks and deeds. They'd alread broken two of the windows in the manor, compliments of an ill-aimed Bludger that Sirius had hit during a scrimmage Quidditch game. They'd proceeded to blow up one of the smaller sheds on the grounds from the twenty pounds or so of Filibuster's Wet Start Fireworks James had hidden from his mother. Needless to say, Mrs. Potter had not been happy to see the room blown off the place. Finally though, the three pranksters had retired to their respective rooms, more than likely thinking of what kind of torment they could put James' mother through the next day.

However, as Remus lay in the bed, his thoughts kept going back to Sable. He tossed and turned, trying to rid himself of her for good. 'To bad I can't brew a dreamless sleep potion; at least then I wouldn't be bothered!' he thought glumly. He finally slept after an hour or more of tossing and turning, but even his dreams were haunted by her.

They were standing at King's Cross waiting for her parents to show up. Remus was staying withJames and his family for the summer, along with Sirius. Sable however, was moving back to the States over the summer. Remus stood there with her, hoping her parents would never show up, and she could stay in England. He finally Remus broke the silence, unsure of what to say to her. His three best friends had teased him for the longest time about telling her goodbye, and he had not thought it would be all that bad. But now that he finally realized that she was going to be leaving for good...he was more than a little worried, and not only for her, but for himself as well.

"Take care of yourself over there. We won't be there to protect you anymore." he said with a sad smile. He watched when she looked at him withviolet eyes that seemed to see right through him. He felt something jerk in him when he realized that she was holding back tears of her own.

"It's not like you guys aren't ever going to here from me again, Remus." She said sweetly. He only shook his head, refusing to say anything else. "I'll keep in touch with you, I promise. Besides, I'll want to know if you guys are keeping the Slytherins on their toes."He had knownthis was going to be hard for her, leaving the Marauders and Lily. They had become close during her two years at Hogwarts, and it hurt to see her upset, but she had no choice.

She grabbed his hand and gave it a little squeeze, apparently trying to reassure him. Remus looked over at the girl and smiled. He had fallen in love, and fallen hard. Their fourth year had been full of surprises. He had never told anyone else how he felt about Sable, chalking it up to teenage hormones. Not even James knew. He was too afraid of rejection to tell her anything, so he kept it to himself. It seemed ironic that when he finally found a girl that wouldn't run away from him because of the lycanthropy, she was being taken away to the other side of the planet.

"Don't worry about the Slytherins.If they try anything we'll turn them into a ferret or something and throw'em around the Hall!" he said with a wide grin. Sable had smiled brightly, but it faltered when her parents came pushing through the crowd. The others had come too, right along with Mrs. and Mr. Potter, and Peter's mom. After giving everyone a hug and promising to write, she turned to Remus and smiled. Her eyes were tearing up, but she held them in check. She stood on her tip-toes and hugged the shaggy- haired boy, then whispered something to him andturned to leave with her parents.

Remus watched as theshe vanished from sight, being swallowed by the crowd. He felt cold inside, but her words gave him hope that everything would be alright in the end.

...

"Moony! Moony, you git wake up!" yelled Sirius. "You're having a bloody nightmare! Wake up already before you tear the entire room up!"

Remus shot up in a cold sweat. His blankets were thrown on the floor and the bed sheets were coming off the mattress. His heart was racing, and his breathing was labored. He looked around the room, but saw only James and Sirius. They were looking at him like he'd gone mad.

"Are you alright, mate?" James asked. "What happened?"

"Yeah, I'm fine." Remus replied panting for breath. "It was just a bad dream."

Sirius looked dubious, his own instincts telling him the nightmare had something to do with a certain black haired girl.

"Moony, what's wrong with you?" Sirius asked seriously, "You've been acting weird since we heard from Sable earlier today."

"It's nothing, really." Remus replied. He didn't feel like telling anyone about anything. James Potter put his hand on Sirius' shoulder and shook his head in the dark, telling Sirius not to push the issue any further.

"Alright, Moony." came Sirius' gruff reply. "If you don't want to talk about it fine, but you pull another mood swing like you did today and I'm going to slip some truth potion into your pumpkin juice at breakfast. At least that way, we'll find out what's going on." With that last comment, Sirius left the room.

James handed the covers back to Remus, saying gently, "We're here if you need to talk, Moony. You know that." He then walked out the room, to go back to sleep.

Remus nodded and grabbed the other sheets. He spread them over the bed, and settled himself to try to sleep. But, he kept hearing Sable's voice, telling him the same thing she'd told him when she left.

"I love you Remus Lupin. And don't you forget it."
