Ok so I typed up one more before I get too busy with school.

A few days after her brush with death Sarah was walking the halls of Hogwarts once again. It was just entering November and she could feel the weather slowly getting colder. She hugged her sweater closer to her body and continued walking towards her destination: the library. She had the sudden urge to read something, anything really.

She entered the library and glanced around, various groups of students were clustered around tables with their heads together. Lily was in a corner engrossed in a book; Sarah decided it would be best not to bother her. If there was one thing she had learned about Lily it was to: a. Never cheat in her presence and b. Never interrupt her while she's reading a really good book.

She headed straight to the back of the library, she had no idea what kind of book she was looking for, she was just letting her feet follow their instincts. She weaved in and out of bookshelves, coming across a couple that was definitely not searching the shelves for books to read. She soon found herself in a corner that she had never even knew existed, and apparently no one else did either; the books in front of her were covered in a thick layer of dust.

She started cleaning off the dust with her wand, reading the titles as she went. "Flick of the Wrist: Simple Household Charms… Madame Malay's Guide to Mending Minor Injuries… Hair Scare: 101 Spells to Tame that Mane," Sarah muttered to herself. She sighed and was just about to give up searching this section when she heard muffled voices. She knew she should've left but there was something familiar about those voices.

She crept closer to the shelf and pressed her ear against the books, she definitely knew those voices. She looked around her and decided that poking her head around the corner would be too dangerous. Looking up she saw a small space that would allow a perfect view of the sources of the noise. She stacked the biggest books she could find and stood on top of them looking through the gap.

Sirius, James and Remus were all sitting at a table that had been stuffed back here in case some student had actually discovered this part of library. Although they were looking around nervously they weren't trying to keep their voices down, apparently they didn't expect anyone to find them back here. Sarah felt like a spy, well if she wanted to get technical she was spying on them.

"So he said that she definitely knew?" James was asking Remus, he looked almost scared. Remus nodded solemnly, Sarah had never seen him like this. James put his head on the table and let out a long sigh. Sirius ran his hands through his hair, "Well what did he do about it?" he asked. Remus shrugged, "He said that he took care of it, she wouldn't tell anyone. He just thought that I ought to know." Sarah's mind was racing, what were they talking about? It had never occurred to her that her friends might actually keep secrets from her.

Sirius slammed his fists on the table, making Sarah jump. She felt the books slip slightly under her feet, she held on to the bookshelf and quietly steadied herself. "How does he know she won't tell anyone?! She probably thinks this is the best news she's heard in her entire life!" he half-shouted. Remus gave him a stern look and glanced around the sitting area for any listeners, Sarah ducked so that she wouldn't be seen. After a few seconds of intense silence she heard James speak and decided to look up again.

"Look this is Dumbledore we're talking about," he told Sirius desperately, "if there's any person we can trust it's him. If she tells anyone about your… problem… he'll know right away." Sirius didn't look convinced but Remus looked a little more reassured. Sarah couldn't wrap her head around this, Remus had a problem and he didn't tell her about it? "C'mon let's go see where Peter got off to," James suggested and stood up. The others followed, Sirius rather irritably.

Sarah decided that it was time she got out of there, she shifted her weight to step off the pile of books when it happened. It was like slow motion, she felt the books slip from under her, then she felt her fingers lose their grip on the shelf. She was falling and the crash was going to be painful, her shoulder hit the floor and she let out a small yelp of pain. She heard footsteps and looked up to see her friends staring at her with wide eyes.

She smiled weakly and sat up, she could feel her cheeks burning. Remus extended his hand, she took it gratefully and got to her feet. "You should really be careful," he said with a smile, "Madame Pomfrey would have a heart attack if you came back so soon." She smiled and brushed off the dust on her pants. Sirius was eyeing her suspiciously, "What were you doing back here?" Sarah hesitated momentarily, "I was looking for a book and thought it would be back here. I was just walking, and you know me I don't pay attention to where I'm going, and some idiot just left this pile of books out and I completely tripped."

She was surprised at how quickly the lie rolled off of her lips. Sirius thought this over and nodded his head in acceptance. James smiled and put an arm around her shoulders, "Well then, let's get out of here and find Peter before you hurt yourself!" she allowed him to lead her away from the hidden corner and towards the exit. She looked back at Remus, who smiled at her, she smiled back, but it was a little more painful than usual.

Sarah sat in an empty classroom looking over her Defense Against the Dark Arts notes when she heard the door open behind her. She glanced up to see none other than Remus striding over to her. He was carrying a rather large book with parchment and quill in hand. "What brings you here?" she asked.

"Professor Binns and that essay on Goblin wars," He replied and pulled up a seat next to her. "What about you?"

"I find it very difficult to concentrate on Defense Against the Dark Arts while Sirius has his fan club around," Sarah said laughing. Sarah found the easy way to avoid the giggling that erupted from the girls every two minutes was to duck inside of an empty classroom. The common room was no longer quiet when Sirius entered. Sarah was almost done studying when she felt a hand brush past her thigh. She didn't think much of it, Remus probably did it by accident. It wasn't until it happened for the fourth time that she looked up. "Why do you keep doing that?" she asked, turning to face Remus.

He gave her a mock look of innocence and said, "I'm sorry but what am I doing?"

"You keep touching my thigh, and don't deny it!" She stated. Sarah knew what game they were playing; it was one that the two of them had become masters at in the past month. There was a constant game of cat and mouse between the two of them lately, flirtatious exchanges that really pushed the envelope. Some of the words shared between them even surprised Sirius and James. Tensions were boiling under the surface and Sarah didn't know how much longer she would be able to take it.

"Well," he said facing Sarah now, "the way I see it," he placed his hand on her thigh, massaging gently, "is that I can stop," he leaned in closer and Sarah's breath hitched as she felt his hot breath against her ear, "or we can both quit playing games and get what we want." He leaned back looking thoroughly pleased with himself as Sarah contemplated what he said.

She smirked and before he had time to react Sarah grabbed him by the shirt and pulled him forward, crushing their lips together. Tongues fought each other for dominance, teeth were scraping against one another, Remus explored every inch of her mouth before the need for air was too much. They broke apart breathing heavily and both slightly flushed. The work on the table was on the floor in the blink of an eye and Remus was laying Sarah across it. Her fingers worked relentlessly on the buttons of his shirt tearing it from his skin and placing butterfly kisses down his jaw to his exposed collar bone. She bit down gently, earning a soft moan from Remus as she licked and kissed the now reddened skin.

Remus ran his hand through her hair and brought her up into a passionate kiss. He ran his hands down her arms then under her shirt, feeling the smooth expanse of her stomach. The skin to skin contact was enough to make both of them gasp. Remus attached his lips to Sarah's neck, moving down to her collarbone where he left a small dark spot. He captured her mouth again; Sarah had never felt anything this raw and passionate before.

His hands ran up her thighs, causing her to moan into his mouth. In one swift movement she reversed their positions so that she was on top. This felt so right to her, everything with Remus felt right. She had often wondered about that day in the library, she wondered what Remus' secret was. At this moment though, she had made up her mind that no matter what the secret was, she would always want to be with him.

"Stop," Remus told her as she began kissing a trail down his neck. She looked up at him and felt her heart skip a beat. She opened her mouth to tell him that if he didn't want to do this he should have told her that instead of leading her on, but he sat up and grabbed her face in his hands, kissing her gently. "This isn't exactly the safest place for this," he whispered. Sarah nodded and smiled; she had to agree, if a teacher walked in there would be no telling what kind of trouble they would be in.

She got off the desk and attempted to smooth out her skirt, not to much success. Sarah watched Remus put his shirt back on and was sad to see that beautiful body being covered up. As she was putting her papers back on the desk she felt an arm snake around her waist. She turned and found herself face to face, or rather face to chin, with Remus. He smiled at her and she couldn't help but return it. He caught her lips in sweet and gentle kiss; their tongues sought each other shyly.

"What now?" she asked, barely above a whisper. Remus shrugged and said "We go make our debut to the entire school." Sarah's face lit up and she wrapped her arms around his neck hugging him tightly. Just then the classroom door flew open. Remus and Sarah broke apart to see James and Sirius standing there. "Hey guys," Sarah said as she stooped to pick up Remus' book, "What brings you here?"

"Well," James began, "While Sirius and I were looking at our trustful little map of Hogwarts, we noticed something peculiar." They both moved forward, Sirius was wearing a look of triumph. "We noticed two dots of two very familiar people that seemed to be… well… on top of each other. And who should those two dots be other than our very own Sarah Burkett and Remus Lupin." At this Sirius made whooping noise and Remus took to straightening out his piece of parchment. James looked between Sarah and Remus as if waiting for some sort of explanation.

Sarah merely shrugged, gathered up her notes and turned to James. "Who cares what we were doing," she stated, "I'll see you on the quidditch field tonight James. Oh and Sirius I believe your fan club is waiting in the common room for you." She turned to Remus and placing a hand on his chest she gave him a kiss on the lips and whispered, "I'll see you later," before leaving. Down the hall she smiled when she heard Sirius' yell of "IT'S ABOUT DAMN TIME YOU TWO GOT TOGETHER!"

Ok so what do you think? I love reviews, they're awesome:) Don't worry you'll find out who knows Remus' secret soon.
