She was practically skipping to Dumbledore's office, wondering why her wanted to see her, while humming a song by a muggle artist. She turned the corner and started to actually sing.

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes til' I touch the sky
I'll make a wish
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I love
I'll take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway

She mumbled the password and then continued to hum the song as she headed up to the big oak door. She knocked waiting for an answer.

"Come in,"

"Madam Pomfry said that you wanted to see me sir,"

"Indeed,"
"She has told me what you told her about your parents, your dad in particular, and I find it unnecessary for you to return to that house until summer."

"Yes, sir, but that means my transformations will need to be done here."

"Yes I have discussed this with some teachers and they agree that, for now,

You can transform in the Forbidden Forest. We will have someone escort you to a proper location, but you must return to it before sunrise so as not to endanger yourself, do you understand."

"Yes, sir"

"That is all for now. I will explain more when the full moon is closer."

"Yes, sir," she said leaving the room.

She walked down the stairs and decided she would use the rest of her free day usefully. She headed off to the library to finish her potions essay.

After reading and writing for almost three hours she decided to take a break. She was happy with the work she had finished, which included the rest of her potions essay, reading four chapters for Care of Magical Creatures, and another astrology chart, which she was very good at. She closed the books and put them back on the self and she headed back to the common room. She started humming again.


If I had just one tear rollin' down your cheek
Maybe I could cope
Maybe I'd get some sleep
If I had just one moment at your expense
Maybe all my misery would be well spent

Yeah

Could you cry a little
Lie just a little
Pretend that you're feeling a little more pain
I gave, now I'm wanting something in return
So cry just a little for me


If your love could be caged
Honey I would hold the key
And conceal it underneath
The pile of lies you've handed me
And you'd hunt those lies
They'd be all you'd ever find
That'd be all you'd have to know
For me to be fine

Yeah

And you'd cry a little
And die just a little
And maybe I would feel just a little less pain
I gave, now I'm wanting something in return
So cry just a little for me

Give it up baby
I hear your doin' fine
Nothings gonna' save me
Til I see it in your eyes
Some kind of heartache honey
Give it a try
I don't want pity
I just want what is mine

Yeah

Would you cry a little
Lie just a little
Pretend that you're feeling a little more pain
I gave, now I'm wanting something in return
So cry just a little for me

Yeah

Cry just a little for me
Whoa whoa
Could you cry a little for me
hmmm yeah yeah

A sad feeling settled into her stomach. She fell to the floor as she burst into tears. Her family used to be so whole and so complete before she was bitten. Her mom wasn't drunk all the time and her dad wasn't abusive. It was her fault if she hadn't gotten bit it would have been ok. She felt an arm on her back, at first she thought her dad, as she wasn't thinking clearly, but her dad wouldn't be that gentle. She looked up to find a concerned looking Lily Evans kneeling beside her. She started to pull away but something made her stop. More tears came as Lily gathered her in her arms and rocked her back and forth telling her it would be ok until she finally fell asleep.

She woke up in a dorm room…but it wasn't her own. There were four beds instead of just two. It was then she released she was in the boys dorm. She scrambled out of bed and hurried head out the door only to find Lily and the four mischief-makers in the common room by themselves. She walked down not looking away from her shoes.

"It's nice to see you up," said Lily.

Selena just stood there. She knew she looked stupid but she didn't care. After a while she decided to say something.

"Uh why was I…"

But before she could finish Lily did it for her.

"In the guys dorm? Because Sirius carried you up here after you feel asleep and since he couldn't get into the girls dorm, of course because of the charm placed on the stairs he went ahead and carried you up to their dorm and Remus lent you his bed.

"Thank you," she said slightly nodding at both of them as she seated herself in the closest available chair.

She turned to look at Sirius. He certainly was as everyone said the 'sex god' of Hogwarts. He had longish slightly above shoulder length raven black hair with a clear complexion and breath taking icy blue eyes. He was now wearing a black tight fitting long sleeved shirt and a pair of tight jeans. Next was James. The first thing you noticed was the unruly black hair. He had pretty dark brown eyes and a nice extremely nice build from playing Quiddich. Then Peter…he was short and round and had short blondish brown hair. He was the ordinary looking marauder. Last but not least of the Marauders was Lupin, Remus Lupin, a fellow werewolf. A few scars were visible but not many. He had shaggy dirty blond hair and honey colored eyes just like Selena. He was sort of pale but it seemed to fit him. His cheeks and nose were naturally a little pinker than the rest of him which gave him a blushed look. Last was Lily, she had the brightest green eyes Selena had ever seen. They sparkled in the firelight. Her red hair curled half way down her back and her body was nice and sculpted. Selena saw why James liked her. She decided that she would head on back to her dorm and go ahead and go to sleep. She was still a little tired a decided to get a head start on sleep.

"I think I'll go ahead and go on up bed, ok, Lily,"

"Ok, I'll be up in a little while."

"Goodnight everyone"

They all said goodnight as she headed up to her dorm. She changed out of her clothes and grabbed her nightgown from the closet. After throwing it on she flopped down on her bed on closed her eyes. After just a few seconds Lily came in. She grabbed her nightgown and walked to the bathroom. Soon Lily's voice came from the other side of the door.

"Remus says you sing good,"

Selena shot upwards… possibly a little to fast considering the fact that she flipped off the bed.

"What!" she yelled rubbing her aching head and shoulder.

"Yeah, he said he heard you singing over by the lake earlier today."

Great just, great! Now they're going to make fun of me.

Lily's head popped out from inside the bathroom. "Mind if you give me a sneak peak?"

Did she actually want to hear her sing?

"Um I don't know Lily."

"Oh please…" she begged.

"Fine alright," Selena gave in.

Selena tried to think of a good song to sing. One that Lily could relate to.

She closed her eyes and opened her mouth and let her heart sing

Every night in my dreams
I see you. I feel you.
That is how I know you go on.

Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on.

Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never go till we're one

Love was when I loved you
One true time I hold to
In my life we'll always go on

Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

There is some love that will not
go away

You're here, there's nothing I fear,
And I know that my heart will go on
We'll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart
And my heart will go on and on

When she opened her eyes again Lily had tears running down her face.

"Was I that bad," Selena asked trying to lighten the mood.

"You… You were… You were wonderful."

"I just wish I had somewhere to practice by my self where no one could interrupt me. Lily's eyes grew wide.

"Wait here I'll be right back," and with that she left the room.
