"Give this to Sirius, will you?" Lia asked Remus in the common room later that day. Lia looked around, just to make sure that no one who was good friends with Sirius was watching them. Remus and she would always be friends, she knew that. That's how she had met Sirius, through her Remus, she thought with a smile. They had known eachother since they were both five years old and nothing was about to drag them appart.

Remus took the envelope she was holding. He studied the beige envelope with the words: 'To Mister Sirius Black' in fancy lettering with curiosity. "What is it?" he asked with pure wonderment as he ruffled his sandy brown hair away from his electric blue eyes cooly.

Lia sighed and sat down next to him. Remus could tell that she was worn out just from looking at her face and into her hazel pools. "It's an Honor's Dinner thing. Dumbledore didn't know that Sirius and I had broken up so he gave it to me to give to Sirius and—"

"Wait, what!" Remus exlcaimed, putting his hand up to stop her, "You and Sirius are broken up?" he asked, his eyes wide with concern. Lia nodded, looking into the fireplace. "I'm so sorry, Lia."

She nodded, and said nothing. She didn't want to think about it. Never ever again. "Yeah, anyway, please give that to him. He made it as did a couple of other kids. You had to get perfect grades all year long, nothing bellow the best," she said with a smile.

Remus gave her a gentle smile and put the envelope down on the coffee table in front of him. "You helped him get those grades," he told her.

Lia simply nodded. "Yes, but only because I knew he was capable of it," she said, not looking at Remus, but at her hands. Quickly flipping her head up to give Remus a 'see you later' look, she turned to leave. Remus looked at her for a second and then back down the envelope on the table with furrowed eye brows. Then, Lia spoke from the staircase.

"You know," she started, signalizing Remus to turn back. When she had his attention she continued, "I always believed in him, no matter what. I didn't give up on him no matter how much it hurt that he kept so many secrets from me. I loved him, and that was all I needed to keep me going at night."

Remus gave a deep sigh, giving her a sincerely sympathetic look. His eyes were warm. He said quite clearly but quietly, "Sometimes you have to keep secrets, Lia."

She stood there for a second, observing him. It looked as though he had something more to say, but no. Remus gave her a friendly smile, an encouraging one, and turned back to the book that was on his lap. Lia furrowed her eye brows as she walked up the stairs, but then let it go. Humming the only song she could think of that could relax her, she lay in bed with her eyes closed trying to drain her mind of all thoughts and of all worries. Life was easier, much easier, once you stopped struggling so much.

And I didn't think about

All the ways I hurt you and myself

And I wouldn't say a thing to you

I keep it to myself in

My mind

And I can't stand without you

And I won't find the answers

When you're gone

But it's over to you

I can't find the answer when you're gone

And it's over to you

But you can't find the answer where you are

And you know I need you now

And this ain't easy to admit

But no one needs to know

What goes on behind

The door in my room

I'm kicking through the

Walls in my mind

And I can't stand without you

And I won't find the answers

When you're gone

But it's over to you

I can't find the answer when you're gone

And it's over to you

You can't find the answer where you are

I won't tear you down

I won't tear you down

To get into the world you wanted

I'm kicking through the walls

But no one can believe

In things that never change

But it's over to you

I can't find the answer when you're gone

And it's over to you

You can't find the answers where you are

And it's over to you

I can't find the answer when you're gone

I can't find the answer when you're gone

I can't find the answer when you're gone

I can't find the answer when you're
