Disclaimer: I do not own any of J.K. Rowling's characters. The new original characters belong to me. The general plot of this story in a sense is also mine but only in a sense because I cannot own anything that is a part of Harry Potter. This is just a story I created that is called fanfiction.
Chapter 1: Uncommonly Kind Woman
Lily Evans was unlike any other young woman. She was beautiful and smart, but she was, also, uncommonly kind. Her perseverance to accept everyone made her even more perfect than she already was. She seemed to always be annoyed by the Marauders with the exception of Remus Lupin who she'd befriended when she arrived at Hogwarts. James Potter and Sirius Black on the other hand got on Lily's nerves just as much as Lucius Malfoy and Severus Snape. Their fifth year of Hogwarts had been memorable so far in many ways with Lily and Remus being prefects and James and Sirius causing their usual amount of trouble. The halls were bustling as usual and they were in the midst of their study on werewolves in Defense Against the Dark Arts. Lily was sitting at a table quietly in the far side of the Library that hardly anyone knew was there. She was carefully studying for her classes when Remus Lupin joined her.
"Lily," Remus said as he sat his books on the table.
"Hi, Remus," Lily replied looking up from her book.
"Could I talk to you about something?"
"Of course, Remus. I've told you already that you can discuss anything with me."
"It's something I don't know how to put into words."
"Then just say it."
"Lily, I feel that I should tell you. I mean the guys know already but how could they not."
"Is something wrong, Remus?"
"The same thing that's been wrong with me since I was a kid."
"Remus, I'm not sure what you're saying."
"It's a full moon tonight, Lily. We can't study together."
"Why?"
"Because it's a full moon and again I apologize for James and Sirius being gits the other day."
"You don't have to apologize for James and Sirius being arrogant prats. What does the full moon have to do with you?"
"It was nice of you trying to help but I could have killed Snape for what he called you."
"Don't worry about it. Why are you now avoiding the topic you started, Remus?"
"Lily, I know you're not dumb. It's the full moon tonight. I can't study with you because of it."
"Remus, you're not trying to say what I think you're trying to say, are you?"
"I believe I am."
"You're a werewolf?" Lily asked in a whispery voice.
"Yes, Lily, and I need your help."
"Remus, why didn't you tell me this in first year?"
"Because I was scared of how you'd react."
"At the moment I'm still shocked."
"I pictured that you'd have ran away from me by now."
"Oh for merlin's sake, Remus. Why would I run?"
"Because of what I am."
"You are Remus Lupin one of the smartest and sweetest guys I know. Being a werewolf doesn't make you any different."
"Well, to make it up to you would you go to Hogsmeade with me this weekend?"
"Of course I would. What kind of help do you need?"
"I was wondering if you'd see if there was a potion or something I could take to help me during the full moon?"
"I'll be sure to. Where in Hogsmeade would we go?"
"I think I have an idea but it's a surprise."
"Keep your secrets I'm sure I'll find out Saturday."
"Oh you will."
"Well, Remus, I'll lend you my notes since we can't study."
"That would be great."
Lily picked up all her notes and gathered them together. She made them into a neat stack and handed them to Remus. Remus took them and placed them in his back and gave Lily smile. Lily gathered the rest of her things and placed them in her bag. She nonchalantly put her bag over her shoulder and looked over at Remus his brown hair falling into his grey eyes.
"I'm going to go back to the common room. I think I've done enough studying for one day," Lily said.
"I never thought I'd hear you say that."
"You never thought you'd hear me say what?"
"That you'd done enough studying."
"You think you're so funny, Remus Lupin."
"Well, well, well, Severus look what we have here. It's Lupin and his mudblood," Lucius Malfoy snarled stepping in front of Lily and Remus with Severus Snape standing beside him.
"Sod off, Malfoy, and don't ever call Lily that again!" Remus exclaimed pulling Lily close to him to protect her from the Slytherin prats.
"Even without Potter and Black you're still willing to do something incredibly stupid."
"The only person I see being stupid here is you, Malfoy."
"At least I don't dirty myself protecting mudbloods like her."
"Lily is not a mudblood just because she's muggle born doesn't make her less than you."
"Oh but she is."
"No if Lily's anything it's above you."
Lily reached into the pocket of her robes while Remus was defending her and pulled out her wand. She immediately pointed it at Malfoy with a stern expression on her face.
"You filthy little cockroach! Your lucky that I don't hex you into oblivion right now. If you don't mind I'd like to get to the Gryffindor common room where I can study without any interruptions from filthy pests like you, Malfoy!" Lily exclaimed before walking off.
Remus followed Lily and caught up to her just outside the Library entrance. He softly grabbed her arm. She quickly turned around and looked into his eyes being careful not to let herself get lost in them.
"Let me walk you back to the common room, Lily," Remus said.
"Thanks, Remus," Lily answered as she and Remus began walking back to the Gryffindor common room.
Remus Lupin knew more than anyone else how uncommonly kind Lily Evans really was. In his heart she was the most perfect angel that ever walked the earth.
