Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter.Sadly it belongs to JK Rowling.

Remus Lupin carefully walked out of the library, balancing a large stack of books in his hands. He was currently reading a book on werewolves and their rights. Nobody knew why he read those types of books, except his friends, and frankly they didn't really care, much to Remus's desire. He really didn't think everyone would welcome his 'furry little problem' as well the other marauders did.As he turned the corner he came face to face with a black blur..literally. Their heads crashed together and they fell to the floor, books scattered around the two.

Remus looked up to see Sirius looking down at him and offering a hand up, which he gladly took.

"What's the matter, Padfoot? What's the rush for?"he asked his fellow marauder, who was looking rather anxious.

"What? Oh, it's nothing. Just heading to the headmaster's office."

"You got in trouble again?!"he asked incredilously. Obviously, being freinds with the headboy didn't help them straighten out as McGonnagal had hoped.

"Um...yeah. You could say that, but I kinda need to get going now, y'know,"Sirius said galncing behind him.

"Alright. Remember we're all meeting up down by the lake at two. It'll be nice considering we have classes tomorrow,"Remus said in finality. Sirius started walking, almost jogging, around the corner, waving bye one last time.'There is definently something strange about old pads today,' he thought while picking all his books back up.

Sirius hurriedly walked the rest of the way towards the office, stopping in front of the stone gargoyle, guarding his path. That's when he realized he didn't know the password.

"Chocolate frogs? Acid pops? Fizzing Whizbees?"he said getting more and more annoyed at the unmoving gargoyle.

"I'm afraid you're looking for pepper imps, Mr. Black." At the sound of the password the stone creature sprang aside to reveal a staircase leading to a door. Dumbledore ushered the young man through the door and into a seat while he sat in his own grand chair behind the large desk. He stared at Sirius, scrutinizing him for a moment in silence.

"Sir, I really didn't mean to cause any harm. I just wanted to know who she really was. Please believe that,"the black-haired boy said, disturbed by the quiet.

" I understand your curiousity. I, too, would want to know more if a person appeared out of nowhere and fainted on me. You did however cause me a nice problem. You see, I must decide wether to obliviate your memory of the girl or if I should trust your word that you would keep quiet about this. Knowledge of the future is a very dangerous thing. If it got into the wrong hands, it could be a cause of great destruction and mayem."

Sirius gulped at the at the mention of the obliviate spell. When he pulled that stupid prank on dear Snivellus a while ago that was one of the greasy haired git's options. He shuddered to think that someone can actually erase a person's memory so easily.

"Trust me. I wouldn't tell anybody...even the others. They'll never hear it from me,"he added seeing Dumbledore's doubt.

"I believe you'll do the right thing. Just keep in mind that this is a life or death situation." Sirius never thought about that. Did he mean Hermione's death or of others? He wondered.

"Since you know about her secret, I suggest you go talk to her. I shall go with you down there and explain the situation at hand. While she's here, I want you to help her. Let us go now."Sirius and Albus got up and walked back towards the hospital wing to talk to the girl.

When she looked up to view her visitors, he caught her eye. He was afraid of what he saw in the depths of her brown eyes. They were filled with pain and sorrow that no one that age should ever have to endure. She then looked to Dumbledore and her face fell more. 'She looks so cold and alone,'he thought.'Probably looking for some comfort. Great comfort I must be; scared of the girl. This whole friendship thing is going to be alot harder than I thought.

I'm mad at myself: this is so short. I just felt like I needed to include a chapter on what went on in Dumbledore's office. Here's ch4 anyway.I don't know when I'll get the next ch up b'c I've got to go back to school this week.

WhiteTiger1992:No I don't guess that is healthy. I'll try not to write that early in the morning then.Thanks for the whole mrs./miss thing:I'll fix that as soon as I can
