She soon came back with the remains of the stuff she hadn't put in the trunk, in the robes of her pockets.
"You ok Sirius? You look sad," said rouge her hand rested on his cheek.
"I am sad, I'll be losing you and no matter how much I don't want to I'll have to deal with It.," sighed Sirius.
"Sirius, I'll never stop loving you, but I promise you, when I'm older and I have a job and everything is sorted out. I'll come for you no matter what." Assured Rouge stroking his cheek and kissing his lips lightly.
She took a necklace from around her neck and put it in his pocket in a silent way.
"I love you too rouge." said Sirius hugging her to him.
"Well we'd better meet up with Remus and James at the willow." said Rouge.
Sirius took her gloved hand and the two walked out the tower.
"So what are we doing Remus?" asked James as they walked across the grounds.
" I remember rogue on the night we went to the three broomsticks was at a cave. It's the perfect place for her to hide out." Said Remus.
"It's like nearly winter Remus," said James.
"I know. But we don't have any alternative. I need to go explore past the cave to see if there is anywhere she can move to," said Remus ad they reached the whomping willow.
"So I'm just a look out?" asked James.
"Precisely. I'll go to Hogsmeade and check out the cave. Wait till I come back. I won't be long," said Remus tapping a knot on the willow as the mouth of the tunnel appeared.
He disappeared down the tunnel and made his way through the shrieking shack and out the boarded door, that he'd picked the lock once using his claw when he was in semi were mode.
He climbed over the boundary fence and then went over the stile and made his way to the cave he'd seen rouge at that night.
He went into the cave and then followed the pathway pasted the cave, it went up to the nigh hills and it was the perfect spot for Rouge to hide out.
He went back the way he came and went back into the shrieking sack making his way back up the tunnel on to Hogwarts grounds.
He saw James, Rouge and Sirius waiting for him.
"Come on. We've got a perfect place," said Remus.
He lead the way back down the tunnel and they stopped in the shrieking shack so Remus could explain his plan.
"That's an excellent idea Remus." smiled rouge after he'd explained it to them.
"Are you insane? Rouge can't hide up there!" said Sirius.
"Yes I can Sirius. I'll be fine," said rouge.
"We'll leave the two of you alone a sec.," said James as he and Remus went into another room in the house.
"Rouge are you sure you want to do this? It will be cold and you'll be living in a cave," said Sirius.
"I'm sure. I have my last power remember. Now come on, I hate soppy goodbyes. But just remember I love you and I always will." said Rouge squeezing his hand.
They kissed when they heard a click and saw Remus had taken two pictures of them.
He handed one to each person before James came in.
"I'm ready," said Rouge putting the photo in her pocket.
"Good. I'm going to take you up there and show you some other hiding places in case you need them. James, you and Sirius stay down here in case anyone comes." said Remus.
"Sure." said James putting a hand on Sirius' arm before he protested.
Rouge smiled a goodbye at Sirius before she followed Remus out the door.
"I just can't believe I might never see her again jamesy." sighed Sirius as he sat on a battered old chair and stared at the photo of them.
"Don't worry Padfoot. She'll be fine. Besides she'll always be an honorary Marauder no matter what." assured James standing beside the chair.
"And marauders stick together like Snape to a charmed seat." said Sirius reeling off the motto.
"And don't you forget It." said James.
"Thanks jamesy. You're the best friend a guy can have," said Sirius putting the photo in his pocket reluctantly.
"Don't get all soppy Padfoot. Anyone would think you're losing you edge," grinned James.
Sirius smiled at him weakly hoping he saw Rouge again.
Rogue followed Remus up to her hiding place and smiled at him.
"There's some holes, bushes and trees you can hide in further up the hill," said Remus.
"Thanks Remus. I owe you, James and Sirius so much. One day I'll find a way to thank the three of you." smiled Rouge hugging him.
"Just take care of yourself rouge," said Remus.
"I will bye Remus and thanks." smiled rouge going into the cave.
"Bye rouge." said Remus in a whisper before he made his way back to the shrieking shack.
Fin!
