Disclaimer- I don't own anything except my character.

Pls don't flame! It's my first fanfic. U can give me suggestions, though. The first few italicized lines come from Lord of the Rings – the first book. So I'm not plagiarizing.

Remus's POV

To that, Frodo has no answer, and he was persuaded to mount Glorfindel's white horse. The pony was laden instead with a great part of the others' so they now marched. . .

"Hey, c'mon, Moony! You've read that book for so long! We're almost at Hogwarts, and we haven't thought of a new first day prank yet!"

I looked up to see James glaring at me. He didn't notice when Sirius put fuzzy white bunny ears on his head.

I burst out laughing. "Hey! What's so funny? OY! (He just tried to run his hand through his hair, and he found the bunny ears) PADFOOT! I'm gonna KILL you! You better not have messed up my HAIR!"

"Prongs, mate, your hair couldn't get any messier than it already is!" I said, trying to keep a straight face, but failing miserably.

Just then, a prefect knocked on the compartment door. "We've been waiting for the head boy and girl, but neither showed up. You're one, aren't you? Well, come on. We need to know what to do."

"Hey, guys, Lily's late too! Now THAT'S a first. I'll go remind her; Prongs, you can go to the front," I said with authority.

"Maybe Moony here should've been head boy, eh, Prongs! He's more responsible than you, anyway!"

That set all of us laughing, even James! After we settled down, James went to talk to the prefects, and I went to go find Lily.

After searching for a few minutes, I found her in a compartment in a different car.

"Hey Remus!"

"Hey, Lily. Did you forget that you had to go talk to the new prefects? They've been waiting for you guys."

"OH MY GOD! I FORGOT! Bye, Remus, bye, Aurora!"

I looked around, and for the first time I noticed Lily's friend.

"Uhhhh… hi… ummmm….. I'm sorry, but I don't think I know you."

"Um… well…hi. I'm Aurora. Err….. are you… a friend of Lily's?"

"Um, yeah." Then I remembered. "Oh, you were in my DADA class, right? Yeah, you were really quiet. You look kinda different though." I couldn't help thinking that she looked a bit like James, with her black hair and light brown eyes.

"Oh, yeah, that's cuz I used to have glasses, but my parents finally let me have contacts. And I got my braces off."

"Oh, well…. uhhhh…. you must be happy. Uhhh….. I have to go now." Why did she make me so nervous? "She's just another person," I said to myself. Another very PRETTY person.. said a voice inside my head. I pushed the thought away as I walked down the hallway to my compartment.

Aurora's POV

Oh, well, I thought. My last year. I'll never forget it. I've had SOOO many wonderful memories at this place. I wish I could relive it all. My mind went back to the happiest day of my life, the day I received my letter…

Flashback:

"Aurora, darling, can you get the mail, please?"

"Alright, mum!"

Hmm… the mail. Hey, a letter for me!

"Mummy! Daddy! I got a letter! I never get mail!"

"Come read it to us!" said my father. I looked down at the paper, 'We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry…'

I couldn't believe it! I had always loved reading about witches, and now I was going to BE one! I felt like my dream had come true…

End Flashback.

"Aurora! Hey, Aurora!"

I looked up. Lily was looking at me, slightly annoyed.

"You could talk to me, you know. What were you thinking about, anyway?"

"Oh, I was just remembering the day I got my letter. Aren't you sad that this is our last year at Hogwarts?"

Before Lily could answer, someone opened the compartment door. It turned out to be Remus. He looked straight at Lily, as if he couldn't see me. He probably just didn't notice me. Ah, well. I'm used to it anyway. If only I wasn't so shy all the time!

"Hey Remus!" Lily said.

"Hey, Lily. Did you forget that you had to go talk to the new prefects? They've been waiting for you guys."

"OH MY GOD! I FORGOT! Bye, Remus, bye, Aurora!" Isn't that so unlike Lily? She forgot something important!

Remus noticed me, then. "Uhhhh… hi… ummmm….. I'm sorry, but I don't think I know you." He seemed like he didn't really want to talk to me. For some reason, I blushed.

"Um… well…hi. I'm Aurora. Err….. are you… a friend of Lily's? " Oh my GOD! Did I just say that! Of course he is! Oh, he probably thinks I'm an IDIOT now! I thought. Wait a minute. Why should I care? I don't like him. Right?

Then he said, "Um, yeah. Oh, you were in my DADA class, right? Yeah, you were really quiet. You look kinda different though."

I thought desperately, and then I said, "Oh, yeah, that's cuz I used to have glasses, but my parents finally let me have contacts. And I got my braces off." Ugh, I sound like such a dork.

"Oh, well…. uhhhh…. you must be happy. Uhhh….. I have to go now." He sounds like he wants to get away from me! Ohhh, what does he think of me! Why couldn't I talk normally around him? I don't think I can look at him again! I'd just DIE of embarrassment!
