3 weeks later Remus and Hero were sitting together in transfiguration. They had finished their work and class was only half over. Hero had just decided to take a nap when James and Sirius walked up to where they were sitting. She had a feeling that they were staring at her and when she looked up sure enough James and Sirius were looking straight at her.

"Do you mind! I'm trying to sleep" she told them and then turned to Remus. "Can you make them go away or something? I could have sworn I told Sirius that I don't associate with man sluts."

Sirius' protests were a background to James' questioning voice. "And why don't you want to be around me?"

"Because you're a jerk. Remus, please make them go away!"

"I can't." He told her desperately.

"Fine then I will." She snapped back.

Hero pulled out her wand and Sirius laughed thinking that she wouldn't do anything. James was of the same opinion but he only smiled at Hero's threat. The next thing Remus knew there were 2 rats where his friends had stood. He watched Hero pick them up and study them. When she saw him staring at her he smiled.

"We're in transfiguration so why not practice it?" she frowned slightly. "There's something missing here. I got it!" she made their heads bigger. "That's better. What do you think?"

"I think you should change them back before Professor McGonagall sees."

"Let her. They deserve it."

She picked them up by their tails and began to walk away. She walked over to where Lily Evans, James long time crush, was sitting. She cleared her throat to get her attention.

"Hey Evans what do you think?" she asked gesturing to the rats.

"What did you do to those poor things?" she clearly didn't know that they were James and Sirius.

"I rather thought that James and Sirius deserved it. In my opinion in suits them quite well."

"You mean that's them?" her mouth hung open.

"Yup." Hero said with a smile.

"That's amazing! I wonder why I didn't think of it earlier."

By the time Hero got back to her seat, Professor McGonagall had seized up the situation. She walked over to them. Hero just smile back to her.

"Ms. Anise, would you please return Mr. Potter and Mr. Black to their original forms?"

"Yes Professor." Hero made them turn back into humans but their heads were still extremely large." Ops, I forgot about that." Her voice was falsely sincere.

The whole class was laughing at the two boys that were standing in the front of the room. Hero shrank their heads down to a normal size. She mumbled something to the effect of "I thought they looked better that way." James and Sirius walked back to their seats embarrassed.

"Ms. Anise that was an exemplary work of transfiguration but if you would please refrain from using it on students?"

"Yes Professor."

"I will let you off with a warning but if I see you doing it again your punishment will be more severe. "

"I understand Professor."

"Good." She went back to grading the papers on her desk.

Hero put her head on the desk again. She just stared at the desk for a few minutes before turning to Remus. His face clearly showed his shock.

"Would you care to explain that to me?" he asked her.

"They were annoying me."

"They barely said 2 words!"

"They were staring at me and I can't sleep when people are looking at me."

"I need to make a note to self." He said as he shook his head. "Hero is cranky when she hasn't had enough sleep. Leave alone when tired." He smiled. "I should make a sign that says 'extremely dangerous. Keep away' on you when you're tired."

She was smiling. "Stop! Your making me look like a monster!"

"Maybe I'm telling the truth."

"Well if that's the way it's going to be then maybe I really am a monster and maybe I won't tell you if it's true."

"Maybe you will."

"Umm, nah I don't think I will."

"Serendipitous."

"What? What the heck does that mean?"

"Well technically it means good. I just said something to change the conversation."

"And what was wrong with the other conversation?"

"… Nothing?" he said making it sound like a question.

"Wrong everything was wrong with it."

"Are you paid to mess with people's minds?"

"Just yours. I just mess with everyone else's for fun."

"What make me so special?" he said as he raised his eyebrows.

"Can I get back to you on that one?"

"Nope." He said popping the p. He leaned back in his seat waiting for the answer.

"Then you're not going to get an answer." She closed her eyes. Wake me up when class is over."

Remus debated on not walking her up for a while but decided not to face the consequences that would result from it. He read from his Hogwarts, a history until class was over. He poked Hero in the shoulder but she didn't respond. Sirius walked over to where they were sitting.

"What's up with her?" He asked Remus.

"I can't wake her up."

"Watch and learn." He went over to Hero's side. "Hero!"

She startled awake. Before she even opened her eyes she back-handed Sirius in the face. She took a moment to blink the sleep from her eyes.

"I'm glad I didn't wake you up." Remus told her with a smile.

"What?" she ask still not fully awake.

Remus pointed to Sirius rather than tell her. Her eyes widened momentarily when she saw the red spot on Sirius' face. A small smile spread across her face.

"I would say I'm sorry but I'm not." She turned towards Remus. "Let's go."

Hero grabbed him by the hand and started to drag him away. He turned to Sirius and shrugged before disappearing through the door way.

Later that day after his last class was over Remus realized his book, Hogwarts, a history was missing. Only one person could have it. He looked all over for Hero but still couldn't find her. He finally gave up and went to dinner. Hero slammed his book in front of him. There was a piece of paper sticking out of it. He opened the book to where the paper was as he walked away. It read:

I was going to make this had but then I had a change of heart and decided not to. Please reply soon. – Hero.

The rest of the page was blank. He looked at it for a clue but found none. He was looking at it for a few minutes and then he moved on the book. The first thing that caught his eyes was the letter W circled. At the end of the page an I was circled. He wrote down every circled letter he found while he ate. He got:

E?

He got will you go out with me every easily but was confused by the letters in-between. He finally wrote them down by themselves and got Remus. He realized that she went easy on him and smiled.

He went to the library and took out a piece of paper, ink m and a quill. He wrote N's and O's in the shape of a yes and then filled it with a whole bunch of other letters to not make it obvious. He put instructions to circle all the N's and the O's on it. When hero entered the library he handed it to her. She sat down next to him and read the instructions. She banged her head on the table and then turned to look at him.

"I'm gonna kill you after this!" she began to circle the letters.

"I doubt that."

She was half way through when she caught on to what his real answer was. She stood up and Remus quickly joined her. She went to hug him and almost knocked him down. He was on the verge of falling and then he recovered. They both sat back down again when the person in charge of the library shot them a glare.

"Maybe I won't kill you. You had me really worried there thought. I don't know what I'm gonna do about that."

"Kiss me?" he suggested hopefully.

"Why would I reward you for something like that?"

"Because you like me."

"True but you're gonna have to do something a lot nicer than that to get one of those."

"Like?"

"I'm sure your will figure something out. You're smarter than that I hope. So what are you going to do for our date?" she changed the subject quickly.

It worked. "Hmm. How about a picnic by the docks tomorrow at lunch?"

"Sure that's after potions right?"

"Yup."

"I have to go. See ya tomorrow."

"Bye." Remus watched her leave wishing she would stay longer.

The next day Remus and Hero started off in different classes. The class period seemed to drag for both. Hero stared darkly at her professor wanting him to shut up so they could go to their next class. Remus started blankly at his professor until Sirius whispered in his ear.

"This can't be good. A distracted Moony. It's practically unheard of. What's going on?"

"None of your business."

"You know I'll just get it from you at lunch."

"Doubt that." He muttered to himself.

Remus managed to pay attention the rest of the class. As soon as it was over he rushed to potions leaving his friends in the dust. He waited by the door for Hero. When she saw him she ran to meet him and gave him a huge hug.

"Wow I'm gone for like 1 hour and your already throwing yourself at me."

"You can't tell me you didn't want to do the same thing." He raised an eyebrow at her. "If you do I will reconsider going out on that picnic with you."

"To tell you the truth, I wanted to do the same thing you just beat me to it."

He grabbed he hand and led her into the classroom. Sirius saw them holding hands and raised his eyebrows. Hero smiled innocently. Sirius rolled his eyes as Remus and Hero sat together. To be honest he was a bit jealous that Remus got the one girl that he couldn't.

"You forgot the boomberry." Hero told Remus.

He stuck his tongue out at her and added the berries. She turned back to her own potion and was horrified. It was a bubbling mess.

"Maybe you should pay more attention to your own potion instead of mine."

"Whatever. Just help me!"

They managed to right Hero's potion. By the end of class they had 2 acceptable potions. They walked to the kitchens together to get their food.

"I think I need a beard." Hero told Remus and started stroking an imaginary one.

"A what?"

'You heard me. I need a beard. If I had one I could stoke it and make it look amazing."

"I'm sorry but I just can imagine you with a beard. What type of beard would you want anyway?"

"Either a long one that I can stroke or one of those scruffy ones and then I would make it into a cool design."

Do you think I could pull one of those off?"

"Um… no."

"So I'm not awesome enough to have one?"

"No it just doesn't suit your facial structure."

"Nice save."

"It's the truth!"

They had gotten their food and were now at the docks. They were talking about random things and eating for a while. When Hero started to clean everything up Remus leaned over and kissed her. After the kiss he stared into her shocked amber eyes.

Everything came together after a moment of confusion. His thoughts were: Amber? Hero has brown eyes not amber eyes! He thought back to the last full moon and the person he saw in the hallway. He thought about the scar that she tried so hard to hide. Her eyes turning amber just now made it all make sense. He was calling himself an idiot for not figuring it out sooner.

"You're the other werewolf!"

Hero drove the fork in her hands into the wooden plank next to her. She ran her figures through her hair a few times to calm herself down. A few deep breaths later she answered his accusation.

"Not what I was expecting you to say after our first kiss." She took another deep breath. "Since you said 'other' werewolf I would assume that you are the other one." She rubbed her temples. "This is not the way I wanted you to find out."

"I'm sorry will you forgive me? One werewolf to another?"

"You're lucky; I can't seem to stay mad at you for my life. You're forgiven."

She kissed him and he kissed her back. Sirius came over and broke them up.

"Sorry to interrupt you 2 lovebirds snogging each other but I thought you should know it's almost time for class."

Hero blushed. She was a bit embarrassed by Sirius interrupting them. James was there shortly after Sirius. She whispered something to Remus that they couldn't hear and he smiled.

"I agree. Thanks for the warning guys. We'll just leave you to clean this up." They dashed away from the outraged James and Sirius.
