"Sarah, I'm so sorry for not telling you, it was so wrong of me. I don't know what happened, I was supposed to transform the next day. But I shouldn't have took you out anyway, I shouldn't take chances like those. Will you please forgive me?" Remus said sincerely.

It was one in the morning and him and Sarah were in the empty common room, sitting by the fireplace, drinking hot cocoa that Remus snuck from the kitchens.

"Of course I forgive you, but why didn't you tell me earlier? I would have understood. I love you, no matter what that means."

"I've lost so many friends. Once they found out they just totally shut me out of their lives. It hurt- at the age of five I don't think anyone would have understood why the person they've been best friends with suddenly totally isolates them. And it happened with a few other relationships that I had. So I wasn't willing to risk anything to ruin this one." He took a sip from his drink, having a much tighter grip on his mug than a few moments ago.

"Remus, I love you and that is never going to change, no matter what."

"I never should have doubted you."

He put his lips to her mouth and kissed her, as she kissed him back. (A/N: Whoever watched X-men 2 – this kiss is like when that ice guy and that girl with the ugly highlights kissed. It was nominated for best kiss in the VMAs. Yeah, I know- very passionate.) And so they sat there, by the fireplace until morning.


"Ooooooooooo! Moony's had quite a night!"

"Yup! Out until the wee hours of the morning with a certain special someone!"

Peter and Sirius were in the Common Room speaking rather loudly into his ear.

"getr way!" Remus said half asleep.

"So tell us Moony," Sirius said in a news-reporter voice, "what exactly did u do last night?"

"Hmmmmm?"

"Looks like our little buddy boy here had quite a good time!"

Peter laughed.

"You did it in the Common Room? Oh lord! Give me details!" Peter said ecstatically.

Remus struggled to open his eye but was immediately was awakened by Peter watery yellow eyes and large, mousy teeth hovering over him. He got up and realized that Sarah wasn't next to him.

"Ugh! Get away from me! You enjoy ruining one's sleep don't you?" Remus aid rather angrily.

But that whole conversation was totally dropped when Giselle entered the room through the portrait hole, wearing a very aggravating expression on her face.

She stared at Sirius.

"We need to talk."

Sirius looked rather embarrassed.

"Why does Fanny claim that you slept with her last night?!" Her voice was quickly rising as she spoke.

"I never slept with her." Sirius said.

"Oh yeah, then why is it when you are sleeping next to me I hear you muttering someone else's NAME." she was now on the verge of shrieking on the top of her lungs.

"Can you please not be THAT loud."

"DON"T YOU DARE TELL ME WHAT I CAN OR CANNOT DO!"

Remus and Peter immediately exited the Common room as fast as they could.


James was sitting alone at the Gryffindor table having spreading jam on his bread.

"Prongs, you're going to have to talk with Padfoot later- Giselle is causing him some trouble." Remus said.

James nodded, trying not to break his concentration on how delicious the jelly seemed.

"So what's up?" asked Peter.

"I'm okay."

"How's Lily?" Remus asked.

"I'm hoping she's okay."

Peter had a rather odd expression on his face, as he rubbed his forearm, as if to erase something.

"Are you okay?" James asked.

"I'm...okay."


Remus and Sarah sat together at the lake by Hogwarts, sharing a picnic, sharing their sandwiches, and sharing kisses. The sun smiled down upon them, and birds sang to them. Everything was beating to a certain rhythm.

"Why are you so beautiful?" Remus was studying Sarah, her golden tresses, her perfect eyes, and ivory skin; the beautiful Sarah.

"Why are you so perfect?" she inched closer to him, with a daring look on her face. He held her in his arms, playing with her hair; as she laid her head on his chest.

"Why do you know what to tell me exactly at the right moment?

"Why are you so lovable?"

"Why are you the one that I want to hold forever in my arms, and cherish forever, in sickness or in health, till death do us part?"

Sarah turned to meet Remus' eyes; eyes that told of the life that she will have, and of the love that she will get. They stood up, and Remus got down on one knee, withdrawing a black velvet box from his pocket.

"Are you asking me to marry you?"

He opened the box to reveal a princess cut diamond over white gold.

"Sarah Alanna Anix, will you marry me?"

She stood there for five minutes gaping at Remus, stunned.

"Do you think I could ever refuse?"

Remus smiled, joy glowing from his face. He picked Sarah up and twirled her around, kissing her passionately.

Within moments the blue sunny sky turned black and heavy rain drops fell from the sky.
