For the first time in years Remus woke up completely happy. For once, it seemed as though he had everything. He had three incredibly cool friends (the Marauders), several other friends, and he had Adriana Finn. He was, of course, the first person awake that day and he got up and got ready quietly. It was Monday morning and he wanted to get down to the Great Hall early.

The only thing in his life right than that wasn't perfect – aside from his Lycanthropy – was the fact that he still hadn't talked to Kira yet. And that was the exact reason he was going to breakfast early. Kira was always one of the first Hogwarts students up and she always went down to the dining hall to study before it got crowded. Remus made his way down to the Great Hall briskly, and with purpose.

Sure enough, when he got entered the dining area, the first person he saw, and the only person sitting at the Ravenclaw House Table was Kira. Remus took a deep breath and made his way towards her. She didn't notice him approaching as she was completely engrossed in an Ancient Runes text book and she jumped at the sound of his voice. "Hi Kira."

When she recovered from her shock she looked up into his face, her features etched with anger and hurt. He instantly felt like a total jerk for doing what he had done to her. She deserved more respect than that. "What do you want?" She asked coldly, not even bothering to be polite.

Remus shifted his weight from one foot to the other and gestured at the door with his left hand when he answered. "Can we talk? Please."

She stared up at him apprehensively and than, sweet girl that she was, nodded slowly and stood up. Neither spoke as the two made their way out of the Dining Hall, which was now slowly filling with people. They stopped walking when they reached an empty corridor and Remus turned so that he was facing her. Kira stared at the ground not looking at him, her hands in her pockets. He sighed and wished that they could still be friends. She was a wonderful person.

"I'm sorry." He said the words earnestly, feeling ashamed of himself for even having to say them at all. "I really am very sorry."

Kira shrugged pitifully, still refusing to look at him. Her eyes began to shine a bit and he thought that she might cry.

Remus hoped she wouldn't cry and kept talking. "I care about you and I never wanted to hurt you. I'm sorry that-"

"I get it," Kira said, her voice small. "You're sorry."

"Listen, alright," he pleaded with her, wanting her to understand. "What happened between Ri and me," she scoffed a bit at the mention of Adriana but he continued on. "It wasn't supposed to happen like that and I am really sorry that it did. I should never have been that disrespectful and cruel to you, you didn't deserve it. If I could take back my actions I would, but I sincerely hope that you can forgive me. You are a great person and I would really hate to lose you as a friend."

Kira looked up at him again, her eyes searching his, seeking to see if he really was sincere. "You mean that?"

He nodded and held his breath, waiting for her to speak.

"It really hurt to see you kiss her." She said, sounding pained. But she took a deep breath and smiled slightly at him. "Well ... I accept your apology."

"Friends?" Remus asked her, raising his eyebrows in question.

She nodded slowly. "Yeah. Friends."

He grinned widely at her and together they made their way back to the Dining Hall. Right before they reached the door she stopped him with a hand on his arm. "You really care about Adriana, don't you?"

He stared at her for a second and then answered her quietly. "I really do," Remus spoke as earnestly as possible.

Kira nodded once more and a sad look crossed her face. "She's a lucky girl." And with that she left him alone in the hallway. He stood there for a moment before heading in and sitting with his friends, taking the seat closest to Ri. And even though he felt terrible that Kira was hurt, he couldn't help but feel somewhat relieved that he had finally talked with her. After all, now that he finally had Adriana Finn, he wanted to focus his attentions on keeping her.
