A library was a place for quiet and study, a place to learn. But in the deeper aisles, where there were no other students at the moment, a couple were being silent as they could. The girl gripped the boys shirt, before moving away slightly. The boy, apparently not wanting to stop cupped the back of her head with his hand, stopping her from moving. "Sirius…we better stop or someone will walk in." Moria murmured as he lips grazed over hers again, causing her to melt back into another kiss.

"Oh please who would?" He asked, gently grazing his teeth against her bottom lip. She offered a soft chuckle, and looked up at him.

"We're snogging in the library. Where every student and teacher is allowed in." Moria whispered out moving away from Sirius. "So that means anyone." Sirius groaned in annoyance.

"You're killing me woman." He hissed out and she looked at him.

"Hey don't blame me. You're the one who wanted to keep this relationship a secret. And the fact we can't go outside because of the rain…we'll just have to find a different place other than the public library." She said, pecking his lips gently. He grinned slightly before glancing down when a growl sounded, and groaned at the small animal who was sitting there. Ashes was glaring up at them. He glared back at the cat.

"You know…I was expecting your family to be like this. Not your damn cat." He growled out as Moria laughed.

"For one, my family doesn't know…to my knowledge at least. And two, at school she is technically from my biological family. Relax…she means well. I think." Moria commented smiling. Sirius rolled his eyes and grinned.

"Well we better get back. Remus might be lenient with you. Lily, not so much." Moria stated. Sirius grumbled as Ashes climbed onto her shoulder glaring at him.

"Ashes is being an overprotective cat." He complained as they walked back towards the Gryffindor tower. Moria chuckled as Ashes rubbed against her cheek, purring loudly.

"Yes…you've already said that. But who knows…maybe you'll end up liking each other." Moria stated and Sirius snorted, before glancing at her. Her hair had grown, reaching the end of her shoulders. He liked the way it moved across her shoulders, just grazing the top of her shoulders.

"I like your hair long." He commented off handedly and she glanced at him. He offered a soft smile and tugged slightly on one strand, causing a light blush to form on her cheeks. He grinned and then ruffled her hair playfully before racing away laughing as she chased after him.

A few days later it was finally sunny, allowing students to go out and get some fresh air. Remus sighed and stretched as he sat down under the tree, opening his book to the page he was last on to begin studying. It was quiet and peaceful. That is until a book fell onto his head.

"Ow! What the-!"

"Sorry."

"It's okay" he replied nonchalantly and for a split went back to reading before blinking and looking up. Bryn was dangling from her feet that had been wedged into the tree, trying to stretch for the fallen book that was now on the ground, currently failing. "Bryn?! What the heck are you doing?!" he hissed out standing up. She looked at him innocently, blinking in confusion. When it finally occurred to her what he meant she blushed.

"I was reading in the tree and I lost my balance. Thankfully my feet got stuck so I didn't break my neck…but now I can't get down." Bryn replied sheepishly. He let out a slight groaning sound before walking over to her.

"Alright, hang on." He said and then gripped her shoulders, pushing her up. She grunted and after a short struggle, managed to pull her feet free. But now, gravity took over and she fell down, landing on Remus with a yelp. She then sat up smoothing her hair out, before realizing she was on top of him.

"I'm so sorry!" she squeaked out getting off of him, before beginning to brush the grass blades and leaves that had stuck to him off. She then stopped, realizing what she was doing and looked up at Remus, her face flushing. He cleared his throat red sliding up onto his cheeks.

"It's…fine…" he stammered out, looking away from her. She glanced up at him and her faced turned a deeper shade of red. She gathered her books and then looked at him, a small smile on her face.

"Thank you for helping me." She said quietly and then rushed away. He stared at her fading form and then leaned against the tree looking up at the sky.

"Bloody hell." He whispered and slid down to the ground, pressing his head into his hands. He closed his eyes. If he wasn't a danger…if he wasn't a monster…then maybe he would have the courage to ask her out. But with his werewolf side…he could never give her a relationship that she deserved. And she deserved so much. More than he could ever give her.

Moria stretched as she pushed another book onto the library shelf, barely managing to place it there. She sighed.

"I think those four just like to mess with McGonagall." She mumbled to herself. She had sadly lost the game to put the books away due to betting with James, Peter, and Sirius. She had had to find some way to get them to at least study Transfiguration. But they had to be messing with her if they had managed to make themselves animagi themselves but couldn't manage the simplest of Conjuration spells. Besides the fact, James was one of the top wizards in McGonagall's class. How McGonagall hadn't figured it out was beyond her. She went through one aisle and headed to the end where the last book was placed and going onto her tiptoes to place the book onto the shelf. Thankfully it wasn't on any higher shelf and she managed to place it on there.

"Well look at what we have here." She heard and immediately wanted to vomit at the recognition of the voice. She turned to see Chamberlain standing at the entrance of the aisle staring at her.

"What do you want?" she growled out crossing her arms.

"What? I just want to have a friendly chat with you." He replied. She snorted sarcastically and glared at him.

"Yeah…and I'm Malfoy's sister. Sod off." She responded and tried to walk around him. He glared and grabbed her by the upper arm pulling her back.

"You should be a bit nicer to me mudblood."

"Why? Because you're a half-blood?" she asked anger evident in her voice. "Let go." She said slowly.

"You better watch it Prescott. You won't have those body guards with you all the time. And when you least expect it…" he trailed off, his voice low. She looked at him straight in the eyes, her glare deepening.

"Is that a threat?"

"It's a promise you little slag." He growled out his grip on her arm tightening enough to where she knew it was going to bruise. She winced.

"Let. Go!" she said a bit louder. He stared at her for a few seconds longer before shoving her away like she was filth. She held her upper arm before walking quickly away, rubbing it. She could still feel his eyes on her back, staring at her. She sighed slightly in relief when she turned a corner, finally out of his line of sight. But now she ran into another problem…no doubt the others would notice the bruise…so did that mean she should tell them? She debated on telling Sirius and the others but decided against it, knowing they would probably just cause more trouble and that would make Chamberlain even more volatile.

And she wanted to have at least one year end without some sort of drama.

"Took you long enough." James called out as she made it back to the table the others were. She rolled her eyes trying to be nonchalant.

"Well pardon me but you all decided to get transfiguration books from the whole library." She remarked rubbing her upper arm that Dane had gripped.

"You okay?" Peter asked looking at her curiously.

"Yeah I'm fine. I just bumped into something." She replied quickly and caught Sirius casting a strange look at her. She looked away, forcing a smile on her face. "Let's get going. I'm pretty sure dinner will be starting soon." She retorted and with the mention of food Peter and James all but rushed out, Sirius followed but not before casting her a look that said 'we'll talk about your arm later' before he too had vanished out the library doors, the promise of food driving him on. She glanced behind her shoulder, collecting her things and cinching up her knapsack before following the trio, the feeling of being watched returning for a split second before exiting the library.

It was night. The halls of Hogwarts were silent and empty. Everyone, even the paintings were sleeping. Well almost everyone. Moria groaned softly as Sirius pulled her into another kiss.

"Missed me that much?" she asked as they moved away to breathe, his grip on her waist slightly slack but not enough to where she could move away; if she wanted to, that is. He fisted his hand into her hair, making sure she stayed put.

"Oh you have no bloody idea." He replied a smirk on his face and he slid his hands down to her forearms. He blinked when she winced, moving her right arm slightly out of his grip. He looked at her forearm, ignoring that her face was now flushing in embarrassment, lifted up the sleeve, and looking at her upper arm in the dim lighting of one of the secret passageways. His eyes widened at the now visible bruise in the shape of hand.

"Moria…" he started.

"It's nothing." She responded quickly, moving her sleeve down, looking at him quickly, her face now a mixture between panic and embarrassment. So much for not telling him.

"Bullshit. What happened to you?" he hissed out his gaze returning to her face. She looked away her face looking like a child that had gotten caught doing something wrong.

"Now before you get angry and try to storm to the Slytherin dorm to get Chamberlain…" she started and she saw anger spark into his face.

"Chamberlain did this to you?! That little bastard! I'll-!" He responded angrily but glanced up at a sudden sound and she heard it as well. Footsteps. Thinking it was Filch and not really wanting to get caught by the Squib, the couple hastily hid behind a tapestry.

"-could have sworn I heard voices."

"Oh shut it Malfoy. Who would be up right now?" they heard someone ask and Moria immediately recognized the voice to be Dane's and felt Sirius stiffen. She looked up at him and shook her head, begging him to not go out there. He was poised to fight, but he held himself back.

"Besides us at this moment half-blood?" Lucius replied sarcastically and Moria heard Dane grunt.

"Point taken. So is there anyone else but me joining today?" Dane asked his voice louder as they passed by where Sirius and Moria were.

"Three. Lord Voldemort is quite pleased at the outcome of volunteers."

"Hey I hate the mudblood half of myself. His idea is right." Dane stated and Lucius began to say something but midway through the sentence he began to fade away and several minutes later the harsh whispers faded away completely. Moria looked up at Sirius in confusion.

"Voldemort? Hasn't he been in the Daily Prophet lately?"

"Yeah…and I know for a fact he's the worst of the worse. He hates everything about muggle-born wizards and witches. I bet he's popular in my family for his ideals." Sirius replied in sarcasm. Moria blinked as Sirius shook his head.

"I doubt his rampage will go far. But on a different topic, what did Chamberlain do?" Sirius hissed out. Moria sighed.

"Look. He just said some choice words to me. That's it." She replied. "He didn't hurt me, just warned me. Don't worry about it. He's just a boy who talks big but never really acts on his words."

"And the bruise?"

"Because I tried to go around him when he wasn't finished talking and he wanted to finish his 'chat' with me." She replied and his face hardened.

"Sirius…I can take care of myself. If things get really bad you'll be the first to know. Okay?" she bargained and after several minutes of tense silence he sighed and then nodded.

"Be careful okay? I'm not really happy that Chamberlain has this obsession over you." He remarked and she smiled.

"Well this time he was just pissed off at you, James, Peter, and Remus. Apparently he didn't take too kindly to you hexing him." She retorted in a slight whisper. He smirked and let out a soft chuckle, kissing her gently. She smiled softly, forgetting about the conversation that they had listened in on.

And with that the final month of their sixth year ended. Moria couldn't believe it. One more year and she would be graduating. She had thankfully narrowed her job choices to two; which ironically were on opposite sides of the spectrum. One choice was a healer, the other a Hit Wizard.

Lily had already chosen what she wanted to be…an Auror. Same as James and Sirius.

"Ironic." She murmured as she left the train, looking at the station. She sighed and looked at Ashes, who was curled up in the cat carrier, clearly unhappy. Unfortunately, she figured Ashes was going to be unhappy for the entire summer. Early on in the month, Moria had gotten a letter from her family and had found out that they were moving this summer. Apparently the majority of the job careers that her family were in were scarce in the town. While Madge was moving to London, the majority of her family was moving to Australia. Of all the bloody places they would be moving to Australia.

"Oh wait 'Martin is moving to the US so the boxes are going separately'." she mimicked to herself sarcastically.

"Who are you talking to?" She heard someone ask and she jumped slightly turning around seeing it was Sirius with an amused expression on his face.

"Myself."

"I was a bit worried there. Can't have you going insane."

"Arse." She grumbled out. "I'm just trying to figure out my living situation." She replied annoyed. Sirius cocked his head in confusion.

"With your family I would think."

"Well considering they're moving this summer. Apparently not. Most of them are going to Australia. Martin are going to the US." She retorted. He blinked, and she shrugged. "Meh. They probably won't move until school starts so I have a place to stay." She reasoned. "After that I'll just have to figure it out." She continued stretching. He was silent for a little bit but before he could say anything a hand hit his shoulder and he turned to see James.

"Let's go. Mum and Dad are here." He said and Sirius nodded. Moria grinned.

"Try not to get into too much trouble."

"Isn't the phrase 'any trouble'?"

"Please. The day you guys don't get into any trouble, is the day I become the seeker." She retorted and then grinned. "Have fun."

"We will." Sirius stated and grinned at her watching as she waved at them goodbye, and then left, going to go look for her own family.

He would have to figure out how to visit her this summer…somehow.
