Disclaimer: I do not own Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, James Potter, or Lily Evans.
I do own Kadasa Mori and Samantha Selene and any of the characters I make up along the way.
I also don't own the places mention in here (Ex: Hogwarts, Hogwarts Express, Platform 9 ¾'s, etc.) Unless they're of my own creations (Ex: Sam's American home)
I never want to own Wormtail so you may have him.
Oh and I don't own any of the teachers… unless of course I make them up.
Yup… I think that's about it. Now on with the story!
Last time:
Remus sat in the common room at 5:30 on Saturday. They were going to go to Hogsmeade, have dinner, then come back. He wore a simple brown sweater with a thick tan stripe across his chest, and a pair of jeans. Footsteps on the stairs echoed and he looked up, Sam walking down. She was dressed in a plain emerald turtle neck with a black vest over it and a knee length dark denim skirt.
She smiled brightly. "Let's go." Remus nodded as they headed out of the portrait.
Kadasa sighed and turned to Sirius. "Now what do we do? James and Lily aren't speaking to each other, Remus and Sam are going on a date… we have no one to pick on."
He sighed regrettably. "No. No one to pick on. Poor, poor Sirius."
"Poor, poor Asa." They sighed again before she jumped to her feet. "Shall we go to the kitchens?"
"Yup. Let's go."
"Chocolate pie?"
"Of course."
Sarah, who had watched the entire exchange, sweat dropped. I knew I shouldn't have joined the quidditch team with those two weirdoes.

Sam glanced at Remus nervously before tugging on the end of her skirt, biting her lip. "So…"
He jumped and looked over before smiling. "Sorry. Kinda dazed out."
She giggled. "I don't blame you. It's easy to when you have friends such as Sirius and Kadasa."
He let out a bark of laughter. "You have no idea. Sirius goes on and on about nothing for hours on end!" He opened the door to the Three Broomsticks. "I don't think he realizes James and I aren't listening 5 minutes in."
Sam sighed in relief. "And I thought that Kadasa was the only one who did it. She usually talks for about a half hour though… and it's usually so Lily's dazed out and she can tease her about daydreaming about James."
Remus snorted as they slid into a booth. "That's always fun."
"They are made for each other," Sam sighed.
"Which pair?"
"Both." They glanced at each other before laughing again. Rosmerta walked over with a menu and they quickly scanned the contents.
"What are you getting?" Remus asked.
Sam grinned. "I just got it Remus. Hold on a sec." He ducked his head, but grinned.

"I can pay for my own meal," Sam argued.
Remus shook his head. "I'm treating you, remember?"
She scowled at him but sighed and gave in. "All right."
He grinned and handed Rosmerta a few coins as she came back before standing. "Shall we head back?"
"Sure." She reached over and grabbed his small bag that he left on the table and handed it to him. "Here you go."
"Thank you."
Walking back outside Sam took a deep breath. "It's almost sun set. Let's go watch it on the tower." She grabbed his hand, swinging their arms.
"You like sunsets?"
"Yeup. Ever since my first year. Kadasa's addicted to them. Always tries to watch them. Something she did with her dad when she was little. In my first year she'd usually drag me to the window to watch. It's beautiful watching the sun set. You know that you have a full day ahead of you as soon as the sun returns."
Remus smiled and nodded. "That does sound nice. I usually never had time to watch them. I'm betting the West Tower's the best place to watch?"
Sam laughed. "Of course. Kadasa never knows which direction the sun sets. She thought it was North a few months ago."
"I hope you told her it was West."
"I let her guess until she said west."
He grinned. "Very nice to do to your friends."
"Of course. She teases me, I tease right back. She deserves it anyway."
"Yes… I suppose she does."
"Luckily she doesn't pull half as many pranks as Sirius does or else I'd really tease her." She suddenly frowned. "You guys have been slower on the pranks this year."
"Well… we did play that prank in the beginning of the year where we turned all of the Slytherin desserts into canary creams."
Sam giggled. "Now that was really funny."
"And then we've pranked Snape several times." He sighed. "James is head boy so we can't get into too much trouble or else he could loose his badge."
"Oh yeah. I forgot. Question: weren't you the prefect?"
"Yeah."
"Then why is James head boy?"
"Cause I didn't want to be head boy."
"Ah…"
"Lily was gonna be head girl and I knew how much James liked her so maybe they'd get along better."
"Which they have." At his doubtful look she added, "they don't hex each other everyday anymore…. Oh wait, I meant, Lily doesn't hex him everyday anymore."
He grinned. "That sounds more like it." She giggled. "And also… I just had a hard time being a prefect, taking care of my studies, I was sick a lot, and stress didn't help so… I gave it up. Too much for me to handle."
"Oh. Well I certainly understand," she replied as they walked through the front doors of Hogwarts. "Now hurry before we miss the sunset!"

Smiling, Sam leaned against the wall of the tower, looking up at the sky. The sun had set about an hour ago and both her and Remus were enjoying the silent night sky. She sighed looking up at the almost full moon. In a few days it would be completely full and beautiful.
"Big, bad and beautiful," she muttered, mocking Kadasa's words.
"Huh?" Remus asked, looking over at her, standing nearby.
"The moon," she replied, nodding to it. "Kadasa's words, not mine." He frowned slightly as he looked up at the ghostly orb. She watched him carefully. He didn't look too happy with it. "I love full moons." When he didn't reply she added, "you?"
Remus let out a harsh laugh. "No. I hate them."
"Why?"
"Because they remind me of what I am."
"And what's that?" Sam asked. He frowned but didn't say anything, watching the moon instead, a far away look in his eyes. She walked over and put a hand on his, making him look down at her.
"Just because you can't control your werewolf form, does not mean that you are a monster Remus."
His eyes widened. "How did you…"
She smiled, almost sadly. "I'm part werewolf. My father was a werewolf and married my mother. That's why I went to America over the summer. My family owns a few acres of land and I was free to roam about."
"But… but you don't transform." Remus stated.
She nodded. "Yes I do, but since my mind in only half wolf, I guess I can control it better. I stay curled up in the dorm every full moon." They both were quiet and sighed. Sam turned back to him and smiled.
"Thank you for tonight Remus." She leaned forward to kiss his cheek but as she did he turned to look at her. As she pulled away, stunned, he blinked in surprise.
"Sorry," she squeaked, a blush flooding her face.
"Thanks," he muttered. She blinked in surprise this time.
"What?"
He smiled. "Thank you Sam." He turned red. "Do you think… I mean if you wanted to…" He took a deep breath. "Would you like to go out with me again?"
She smiled and nodded. "Yes. I would like that very, very much."
"Um… Sam…" Remus started. "Also… I hope I'm not being too bold… but…" By now he was bright pink. "Well… I… I really, really like you. I mean I've liked you since 1st year, I just never had the courage to actually tell you and I… um… well…"
She blushed even brighter. "W-w-well… I really, really like you too Remus. Call it a deep crush since I've liked you since 1st year too." He grinned and hugged her swinging her around. She giggled and hugged him back. When he set her down she smiled.
"So can I have our first kiss as a couple?" He was happy to oblige.

"Night guys," Kadasa called as herself and Lily climbed up the steps to the Head Girls' Dorm.
Lily yawned. "Did Sam ever come back?"
Kadasa shrugged. "Haven't seen her." Opening the door to their dorm they found Sam sitting on her bed grinning. "Sammy! How was your date?" Kadasa chirped.
Not even reacting to the Sammy she turned to them grinning. "Guys, it's official… Remus and I are a couple!" Squealing Lily hugged Sam and Kadasa rolled her eyes smiling.
"Great," she said. "Now I'll have to listen to you too." She batted her eyes. "Ooooh. Those eyes and that hair." She waved a hand at them before clasping them together. "He's soooooooooooo cute!"
"Who?"
She leapt a foot into the air, shrieking at spun to find Sirius standing there, an eyebrow raised, looking at Lily and Sam who sat on Sam's bed and Kadasa who had her hands still clasped together and looking like a startled cat. She glanced at her hands then laughed nervously and stuck them behind her back.
"Hi…" she laughed nervously.
He shook his head. "Not even gonna ask." He held out her book. "You left this in our dorm."
"Thanks," she muttered grabbing it. He nodded, glanced at the other two then turned and walked out the door. Kadasa tossed the book on her bed and shut the door after him then turned to her friends who were watching her suspiciously. "What?"
"What were you doing in the guy's dorm?" Lily asked.
"Sirius was helping me study cause you were somewhere, Potter disappeared, and Sam was going out with Remus."
"Sirius studies?" Sam asked, wrinkling her nose.
"Yes he does!" Kadasa said, crossing her arms over her chest before she sweat dropped. "At least… when I make him study."
Sam giggled. "At least the guy I like studies on his own." Kadasa's jaw dropped and her mouth opened and shut without any sound.
"Oh yeah!" Lily chirped turning to Sam. "How was it?"
She smiled dreamily. "Wonderful."
"I DON'T LIKE SIRIUS!" Kadasa shrieked.
"Thanks for that emotional booster," a dull voice stated behind her. She spun to find Sirius standing there.
She turned bright red. "No! I like you just not that way." He raised an eyebrow and she gave out a cry of frustration. "Good bye!"
He grinned after her then turned to Sam. "Here. Remus says you 'accidentally-on-purpose' slipped it into his bag."
She scowled as he handed her a few galleons and sickles. "I told him he couldn't pay for my food."
Sirius smirked. "Right. He's gonna listen to that?" he asked before heading for the door. He was about to shut it then stepped back in, grinning. "Tell Kadasa we're gonna have to have a nice long chat about our close relationship," he said and winked. "Night." Lily and Sam glanced at each other before laughing. They felt bad for Sirius. Kadasa was going to kill him.
