"Thank goodness Slughorn is back, I couldn't stand that stuttering mess." Rebecca muttered as she sat down next to Lily in potions.

"Good day Miss Evans." He said with a smile at Lily and gave a slightly wary look to Rebecca.

"Good to see they got your face back to normal Professor." Rebecca said with a smile and he gave a nod and turned to another student and struck up a conversation and she shrugged and got her things out and started to set up for the class. She looked up as Remus walked in to the room and he gave her a smile and she smiled back and watched him out of the corner of her eye as he went to his seat. So far she had not gotten any further with her new found information. Half of her wanted to confront him about it but what if she was wrong? Or if she was right? She could hardly stand the thought of Remus being a werewolf; he was too…human to be a werewolf. Werewolves were vicious and mean but Remus was the most sweet natured person that she knew. Well if she wanted information she was sure she might be able to get something out of Peter. He always turned in to a mess if she so much as looked his way. It felt wrong to do something like that, she should just confront Remus about it, well she would give it another full moon and if he was gone again that would conclude everything.

"Becky?" Lily said as she gave Rebecca a small nudge and she was torn from her thoughts as she looked at Lily.

"You alright?"

"Yeah fine, what's up?"

"Mind if I go work with James?"

"No, go ahead." Rebecca said and looked around at everyone starting on their blood replenishing potions.

"Mind if we work together?" Remus asked as he walked over and she shook her head as she started the flame on the cauldron.

"I'll uh go get the ingredients, I'll bring you yours." She said as she motioned to the cabinet and he smiled at her.

"Thank you. I'll get this started." He said and got the burning under his cauldron as she got the ingredients. She came back and set his on his side of the table and set hers down.

"Thanks." He said and she glanced at him, her eyes catching on the scar on his collar and she looked back up and smiled at him.

"No problem." She said quietly and started on the potion.

"Are you alright? You seem off." He said and she looked up from crushing up the beetle legs.

"No I'm fine. Just you know, its Monday, who on earth has good Mondays?"

"Well you have a point; Monday is not the most favored day of the week."

"Are you alright? Feeling alright?" She asked and he nodded as he looked at her.

"I feel pretty good, thanks for asking." He said and went back to his potion.

She watched him out of the corner of her eye. The next full moon, according to Andrew was in two weeks, he might not be sick yet from the full moon, the next week would tell.

Rebecca stood before the gargoyle wondering what on earth Dumbledore could need to talk to her about. She didn't remember doing anything to bad except the occasional spat with Sirius but even those hadn't been too terribly bad. She heard someone coming down the hall and she looked and saw Andrew.

"You too huh? What do you think he wants?" Andrew asked as he walked up.

"I don't know. Maybe to discuss end of the year stuff." She said with a shrug.

"Lemon drop." She said and the gargoyle sprang to life, exposing a staircase and they walked up and knocked on the door.

"Please come in." She heard Dumbledore from inside and they walked in.

"Please take a seat." He said with a wave of his wand and two chairs appeared and they sat down, exchanging glances with each other.

"Now I suppose you are wondering why you are here." He said as he got up and walked over to Fawks and started to pet him.

"Miss Walcott, what are your plans after Hogwarts?"

"Well I was probably going to go home, try and get into the training program at James Ives Hospital in New York. Why?"

"Alastor Moody mentioned that you were a very decent dueler and talking to your professors you have fairly decent marks."

"Where is this going?" She asked wanting to get to the root of all this.

"Would there be any way to persuade you to stay and join the Order?"

"What is the Order?"

"I am sure you have heard of Voldemort and seen his horrible acts of murder and violence in the paper." He said and she nodded. "There is a resistance that fights against this evil called the Order of the Phoenix made up of many wizards and witches alike, all with a common goal to put an end to his evil force. Miss Walcott have you ever practiced occulmency?"

"No, I think I have read a bit about it though, something like keeping people out of your mind or something?"

"Yes."

"The reason I ask is you show signs, with training of course of a very skilled occulmens and possibly legilimens. We could use your skills in dueling, occulmency and Legilimency."

"So you want me to stay here after school and help fight against this crazy world dominating dude."

"To put it simply yes."

"Do I have to make a decision right now?"

"No, you have a few months to decide, but you will not be any less thought of if you decide not to stay." He said and looked at Andrew.

"Mr. Fuller? Are you willing to stay?"

"Can I give you an answer later?"

"Yes you may." He said with a nod and Rebecca looked at Andrew.

"Alright, you two may go. Have a good day." He said and they both got up. "Best not mention this meeting to any one." He said and they both nodded and headed out of the office.

"What do you think Andy?" She asked as they headed down the hall.

"I don't know, it sounds a little crazy. I was planning on going back home after this; I mean New York is our home. We can't just get up and leave, at least I can't."

"I don't know, it seems like a noble cause, besides, I have friends here."

"You have friends back home."

"Not like the friends here, I don't know, I think it's too soon to make a definite answer." She said and he slung his arm over her shoulders.

"No need to rush things." He said and kissed the top of her head.

As time would have it, Rebecca saw Remus become sick the week of the full moon. How could this be? Remus couldn't be a werewolf, it was impossible. She looked at him from across the common room lounging in one of the chairs with his homework in his lap and a quill balancing lazily in his fingers as he stared sleepily in to the fireplace. It was rather late, almost midnight and there were only a few other people in the common room aside from Rebecca and Remus. James and Lily were out doing rounds, Jenny and Tessa were up in the room getting ready and Rebecca assumed that Peter and Sirius were already in bed. She glanced around before looking at him again, the fireplace shadowing his face in a mysterious way that brought out his handsome features even with his pale skin, the fire made it look warm. Remus wasn't anything like James and Sirius who were very boyish handsome while Remus seemed much older. He didn't carry the twinkle of mischief as Sirius and James did. Remus wasn't loud and confident like James and Sirius were, he was quiet and intelligent, shy and sweet…She was going mad. Here she is day dreaming about Remus in front of her, he was her friend, it wasn't like they liked each other anyways, it wasn't like Rebecca was his type any ways. Why would he want some one like her? She was pretty much in one word, a bitch. She didn't care what people thought of her, they didn't matter. She could picture him with someone like him, quiet, bookish, and sweet. She and he were if any thing quite the opposite of each other, it would never work. She heard him sigh and she snapped her eyes down to the book in her lap, not wanting to be caught staring at him, how weird would that be.

"Oh Becky, I didn't know you were down here." He said and exhaled as he stretched.

"Sorry if I disturbed you." She said and he chuckled.

"You didn't disturb me. What are you reading?"

"Uh noting really, just Scarlett Letter." She said as she showed him the cover. "It's actually really boring, I sometimes read it if I am trying to get to sleep." She said humorously as she closed it and got up.

"Well I am off to bed." She said and saw his face falter and he bit his lip and nodded.

"Alright, well sleep well." He said and she pulled her blanket over her shoulders.

"Yeah you too." She said with a weak smile and went up to her room.

He was going to tell her, tonight, the night before the full moon. He wanted to put it off but he feared if he continued to put it off he might never tell her. His heart hurt at the thought of her hating him for being the monster he was and part of him hoped she was the friend he believed her to be, but he wouldn't blame her if she hated him. He didn't deserve what he had and he deserved nothing more, he had been too greedy with his friends, he couldn't possibly ask for her to accept him as well. She was sitting across the common room with Kimba on her lap. Cats never liked him; they could sense the werewolf in him and hated him. She was so beautiful, just looking at her made his heart ache. If he had to pick one thing he absolutely loved about her, it might have to be he laugh, not just any regular laugh, the kind she usually saved for Andrew or Lily, when she just let every thing go and her smile seemed to light up her entire face and her laugh carried in to the air like nothing he had ever hear before. She could never know what he felt for her. Just being near her made his head swoon and he often had trouble stringing together words to hold a conversation with her at times. He was going to do it tonight, whether or not it meant losing her.

"Becky?" He said as he walked over and Kimba immediately got up and ran up the stairs and glared down at him before leaving up to the room.

"Yes? What can I do for you Remus?" She asked as she looked up at him.

"Uh wanna go for a walk?" He asked and she glanced at the clock.

"Remus it's nearly midnight." She said with a small smile.

"I have the map." He said as he held up the parchment.

"Ohh, alright, lets go." She said as she got up and grabbed his arm, leading him out of the tower.

"So how does it work? Are you allowed to tell me or is it one of those secret brotherhood things?" She asked sarcastically.

"Well you can't tell anyone I told you alright?"

"My lips are sealed." She said and did a zipping motion across her lips.

"Alright, I solemnly swear I am up to no good." He said and tapped the map and she snorted very un-ladylike before she laughed and covered up her mouth.

"Really? Is that really it?"

"Hey we were 15 alright?"

"Well you aren't that much older now?"

"Hush up; you said you wanted to see how this works."

"Alright, I'll refrain as well as I can from laughing at your ridiculous password thing." She said with a grin and he rolled his eyes and examined the map.

"Alright, everything seems clear." He said and took her hand and led her down the dark halls.

"Where are we going?"

"I don't know, where do you want to go?" He asked her warm hand in his own, so soft under his rough hands.

"Well you are the man with the map. So you decide." She said and he glanced at the map and put it in to his back pocket as he led her down the halls until they were up at the astronomy tower and he stepped out and looked up at the moon, the moon that haunted him every month.

"You know, Sirius brings his dates up here, I do hope you didn't plan this." She said from the doorway and he turned around with slight horror across his face.

"Goodness no- I mean- I- I-." he stuttered trying to find words and she burst out laughing and joined him at the edge of the parapet and he let out a relieved sigh and shook his head to himself.

"Remus I know very well you aren't anything like Sirius." She said and looked up at the moon and there was a long silence between them. He wanted to tell her, he wanted to let her know but the more he envisioned her fearful face and walking away with him the less he wanted to say something, his mouth was dry and he could hear his heart in his ears pounding like a drum.

"Becky." He croaked and she looked at him and leaned against the parapet with ease.

"I need to tell you something." He said and he felt his hands start to tremble and he stuck them in his pockets. He remembered how hard it had been to tell his friends, but by then they had already pretty much figured it out, she knew nothing, well he imagined she knew nothing, otherwise she might not be here right now.

"Hmm?" She asked looking at him intently and he took a shaky deep breath.

"I'mawerewolf." He blurted so jumbled up and she gave him a confused look and he pulled his hands out of his pockets and gripped his hair as he turned and paced a bit.

"Remus what's-." She said and he turned to her and walked up to her and walked back and he stood on the other side of the tower and she walked over to him slowly.

"Remus?" She asked as she laid a hand on his shoulder.

"I want to tell you." He said weakly and he turned and looked at her, pain visible in his eyes and across his face and she took his hand.

"There is a reason I am gone every month Becky." He said and sucked up a breath and looked away from her, not wanting to see her expression. "I'm a werewolf." He said weakly and slowly turned and looked at her shocked expression and she slowly let go of his hand and took a step back from him.

"Becky-." He said and she turned and walked out of the astronomy tower and he felt a stab in his stomach as he watched her go.

Once she was gone he lifted his eyes from the floor and looked up at the moon, hating it more than ever.

He made his way back to the tower, taking a different route as to not run in to Rebecca. What had he done? She was probably never going to speak to him again now that she knew of the monster he was. What if she told someone and word got around the school? Dumbledore would get sacked for having a monster like him at school and he would be exposed to the entire school.

He pulled out the map to check it and he saw Filch just around the corner. Shit.

"Mischief managed." He said as he tapped the map clean and shoved the map in to his back pocket.

"Ah ha, gotcha. Sneaking around at night, what are you getting in to?" Filch asked as he shone his lamp in to his eyes.

"Just out for a stroll."

"It's past curfew." Filch said as Remus secret tried to push the map further in to his pocket.

"What have you got there boy?" He snapped.

"Nothing." Remus said innocently.

"Turn out your pockets boy." He said as he took a step forward and Remus pulled out the map and Filch swiped it from his hands quickly and examined it.

"What's this?"

"Just some spare parchment." He said as Filch examined it.

"I'm keeping this, get to bed." He sneered as he examined the map and Remus turned on his heel and quickly walked down the hall and towards the tower.

"I'm a werewolf" He said and Rebecca felt her insides freeze up. What she had suspected all along had been true. Why was this a shock to her? Remus was a werewolf, that wasn't right, it wasn't fair. She could hear her heart in her ears and everything inside her told her to run, get away from him. She took a step back and turned around and left. Tears burned at her eyes as she walked down the stairs and her limbs felt weak with each step, every one threatening her legs to collapse.

She stopped when she stood in front of the Fat Lady who was sound asleep at the moment. What was she doing here? Remus was her friend even before she found out he was a werewolf. It didn't make any difference did it? She turned around and looked at the dark halls she had come from. How could she just leave like that? He must think she hated him or something. Oh god what had she done? She hurried back to the tower and found Remus was already gone. Could she have passed him on the way to the tower?

She felt truly awful right now. It had to have been hard for him to tell her that and she just turned and walked away from him. How could she do this to him?

The next morning Rebecca woke up to silence. She peered out of the curtains and saw the room was empty. She looked at the clock and saw it was nearly noon. How could she have slept so long? She sat up and rubbed her eyes and jumped out of her bed. She needed to talk to Remus.

She rushed downstairs and saw James and Lily sitting on the couch with each other in eac others arms.

"James, where is Remus?" She asked quickly.

"Uh I think he is up in the room." James said not looking away from Lily and she hurried up the stairs and burst in to the room. She froze when she saw Sirius standing before her with just a small towel wrapped loosely around his waist

"You're naked." She said as she raised a lazy hand to her eyes and he walked to his trunk and grabbed his towel. She could see he had just gotten out of the shower, beads of water fell down his…nice…strong back…WHAT THE HELL WAS SHE THINKING!

"Not really, I could be naked if you wanted me to be." He said with a cheeky grin and she slowly dropped her hand.

"Uh mind putting on some clothes?" She asked as he started to dry himself off with a towel.

"Uh no, you came in here, can I help you?" He asked and she took a deep breath.

"I'm looking for Remus." She said and let out a sigh as she tried to keep from looking at him again.

"Yeah I'm sure; I bet you just wanted to see me naked." He said with a chuckle and her eyes fell to his well formed chest. Damn quidditch had certainly done him very well.

"Uh no, I am looking for Remus."

"Well he isn't here obviously, so I think you just wanted to see me."

"You are so freaking full of yourself, you know that?" She sneered with a roll of her eyes. God damn! He had a nice body.

"Well you're still standing here." He said blandly as he got up and walked to his trunk and got out his clothes and right there dropped his towel and pulled on some boxers.

"Have some decency wont you?" She snapped and he turned to her.

"Walcott, you don't have to stand there and watch me, unless you want to and my assumption that you actually want me has all along been correct." He said and she glared at him.

"I have no interest in you whatsoever; get it thought your thick head. Can you tell me where Remus is?"

"Mum is sick again." He said and she rolled her eyes.

"Come on I know it's not true." She muttered as she crossed her arms over her chest.

"Well I don't know what to tell you Walcott, he isn't here."

"I'll just have to find him myself then." She said and turned on her heel and went back to the door.

"Hey Walcott." He said and she turned and looked at him.

"I saw you staring." He said with a cheeky grin and she rolled her eyes and walked out of the room.

"Thanks a lot James." Rebecca muttered as she walked past him and Lily on her way out of the tower and he looked at her confused and looked to Lily.

"Am I missing something?" He asked and Sirius walked down the stairs.

"Oh, oops." James said as Sirius raised an eyebrow at him. "Forgot you were showering mate."

"I don't think Walcott minded too much." He said with a small bark like laugh and walked out of the tower.

Rebecca searched all over the castle for Remus and had still had not found him. Well he could be in the hospital wing perhaps. She made her way to the hospital wing and peered inside and saw all the beds were empty.

"Hello dear. Do you need anything?" Madam Pomfrey asked as she stepped out of her office.

"Uh, no thanks." Rebecca said with a forced smile and turned on her heel and walked out of the hospital wing. Well perhaps she might see Remus the next day; she couldn't even imagine what he thought of her right now.
