"See not all of them have been taken," Selene called out to her friends as she looked back at them, walking towards one of the carriages. They had been amongst the many to exit the train last. Selene turned around and came to a sudden stop as she and Lupin both reached the very same carriage at the same time.

"Seems to us that it is," Jean said as she and Laura caught up to Selene. They stared at the man with patchy robes and wondered why he was traveling with all the students and as they turned their attention to the suitcase that he was holding understood why and guessed that he was their new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

"I'm sorry Selene, you and your friends may have the carriage," Remus said as he stared down at the three girls. Selene merely smiled as she stared at him.

"Nonsense Professor Lupin, there is room enough for all of us. Unless, of course, you would prefer to be alone, but I think that you should get to know your most brilliant students in advance so that you will know what to expect," Selene said with a very charming voice, Remus shook his head as he realized that she looked so very cute saying that. "And I would personally be honored if you would join us, please."

"Well how can I resist?" he asked as he stared at her. Jean and Laura merely shook their heads, everyone in the world loved Selene, she was so easy to get along with and there was something so very charming about her. She was the happiest person that they knew and she was simply such a goof even though she was such a book worm and nerd.

"Trust us, after years, you learn to resist her of else you'll be putty in her hands," Jean said as she jumped into the carriage.

"Honestly, I'd run for the hills if I were you," Laura said a she followed Jean into the carriage. Selene shook her head at this and smiled at Lupin with a shrug.

"With friends like these who needs enemies," she called out into the carriage before turning her attention back to Remus.

"We LOVE you Selene," she heard her friends call out from the inside. She merely rolled her eyes at them and looked up into Lupin's eyes.

"Don't listen to them Professor Lupin, I'm not quite so obnoxiously loveable as they make me seem. I can also be obnoxiously depressing," Selene said with a broad grin as she looked at him.

"I find that very hard to believe at the moment," he said as he stared at her. She shrugged as she turned away from him to get into the carriage in which he offered his hand to her to help her inside before getting inside after her.

Remus sat down next to Selene who had started reading a book in her lap, which was glowing so that she'd be able to read the book through the darkness as her two friends started talking. "How are your parents doing?" Laura asked as she looked at Jean. Remus turned his attention to looking out the window, pretending to no be interested in the girl's conversation. The girl named Jean was grooming her nails with a grimace in her face. She was very pretty, but she looked like the type of girl that spent far too much time fixing herself; a high maintenance girl.

"My father's obsessing about the fact that my mother has a new boyfriend, though I really think that he's just bitter about the fact that my mother kept everything that was his. And of course he pretends to care about me while my mother ignores me and her new boyfriend tries to gain my affection with gifts. Pathetic if you ask me but it has yielded some very nice new robes and trinkets," Jean said as she looked over at Laura. "How are your parents?"

"Happy as ever, thank goodness. I think I'd have to kill myself if I had your parents. And I'm so happy that Donald has finally left Hogwarts. He's so over protective, he treats me like a child," Laura said, happy about the fact that her brother, who was a year older then her had finally left Hogwarts. "Now I don't have to continue to hide my relationship with Edward."

Remus turned from staring out the window and turned to look at Selene that was completely engrossed in the book that she was reading and seemed to completely have no idea that anyone else was in the cartridge with her. Remus wondered how she could be so different from he friends. She was so very friendly and sweet and her friends seemed like the kind of girls that were very self absorbed.

"What are you reading?" Remus asked as he looked at Selene. Selene looked up and smiled sweetly at him.

"Dozers Guide of Ancient Theory On Curses, volume three," she said a little sheepishly as she looked at him. Remus eyebrows nearly went into his hairline at this, completely as the conversation of the other two girls in the carriage drowned out. He was impressed about the fact that she was reading Dozer. He'd never read any of Dozers books of which there were seven until he was twenty.

"Really, that's impressive. They are particularly hard books to get through," he said a he stared at her, as they were mostly theoretical and had a lot of technical terms and so many different and old curses that you would probably have to look through fifty other books to be able to get through one of his and to understand what he was saying. But to the person that did understand them, it wielded to them a great power; the power to be able to create complicated charms, curses and spells or to recreate old charms that had long ago been lost.

"Actually, this is my third time going through the books. I've read them all already twice, and I'm rereading them again," she said as she started to blush and turn to look out the window. Once more Remus was completely shocked by this.

"That's very good," he said. She slowly turned to look at him and smiled. "I myself reread them so many times and was disappointed that he only wrote seven," he said as he stared at her. She smiled as she looked at him. "You know it's rumored that he started to write an eighth volume, but that its contents were so controversial-"

"That the Ministry of Magic had his memory obliviated and he was dropped into the muggle world before he could finish it and that the only copy was destroyed," She said, finishing his sentence for him. He smiled as he stared at her. "I also heard that he actually finished the eighth volume, but that he feared too much that its contents would be used for evil, that he destroyed it himself and obliviated his own memory."

"I don't understand you. You're quite obviously brilliant and very dedicated and serious when it comes to your studies, but you are very friendly, sweet and … bubbly," he said as he stared at her. She smiled as she looked at him.

"Why can't I be both Professor Lupin?" she asked as she stared at into his eyes and for the first time he saw something in her eyes that he hadn't noticed before, a deep rooted pain in her eyes that seemed to smile out at him with the small sparkle in her eyes.

"You are very unique, Selene," he said as he stared at her. She smiled as she looked at him, before turning to look out the window.
