Remus stared at a picture of him and Rebecca sitting by the lake at Hogwarts and smiled to himself as he placed it next to his bedside and heard the sound of something crashing followed by the sound of Rebecca cursing loudly and he rushed down the hall to the living room where he saw her picking up things off the floor and throwing them in to the box next to her.

"Yeah brilliant idea this was." She muttered to herself and looked up at him.

"Is everything alright?" He asked as he walked over to her.

"Yeah, I thought I might save some time by flooing the stuff here but as you can see I absolutely suck at flooing." She said with a grumble and stood up and set the box on the table near by and turned and looked at him.

"So, this is it huh?" She asked as she looked around at the boxes all around her and he smiled and nodded before she walked up to him.

"So." She said as she undid the first button on his shirt. "Where should we do it first?" She asked with a grin and undid the next button and he looked around.

"Uh, shouldn't we finish unpacking?" he asked and she finished with the last button and looked up at him.

"No." She said with a grin and stripped off her shirt and tossed it aside and kissed him.

"This needs to go." She said as she looked down at his belt and back up at him and undid it and pushed him back on to the couch with a smile and straddled his lap as he smiled at her, resting his hands on her waist.

"So we have an hour before I have to leave with Lily, do you think that's enough time to cover every room in this house?" She asked as she nibbled on his ear and he chuckled and wrapped his arms around her and laid her down on the couch.

"More than enough." He said and kissed her.

"Moony where do you want these- Merlin!" Sirius said as he walked in to the room.

"Get out!" She screamed and grabbed a pillow from behind her and threw it in the general direction of Sirius as he laughed and backed out of the room. Remus got up quickly looking embarrassed and Rebecca sat up and looked at Remus.

"What the hell is he doing here?" She asked as she looked around for her shirt.

"Sorry to uh, interrupt you guys." Sirius said laughing from outside the living room.

"I forgot he was coming over with some things." He said and she gave him an annoyed glare and pulled her shirt on.

"I could just put these here." Sirius said and burst out laughing again as she came around the corner and glared at him.

"I'm sorry it's just too funny, you scream like a girl Walcott." He said and she roughly grabbed the box from Sirius and shoved it in to Remus' arms as he came around the corner and she strode off to the kitchen to start putting away the pots and pans.

"I shutter to think what I would have seen if I had come a little later." Sirius said jokingly.

"Alright that's enough Pads." Remus said and Sirius chuckled.

"Come on its a little funny." Sirius said and Rebecca appeared at the doorway.

"Black, just go." She said and he smiled at Remus.

"Well that's all the stuff you left at my place, I guess I will see you guys later." He said and smirked at Rebecca.

"You scream like a girl."

"You look like a god damn douche, cut your hair. Shave your face." She muttered and he stroked his goatee and gave a wave to Remus before heading out the door and Rebecca sighed and looked at Remus.

"I'm sorry, I really did forget that he was coming over, I mean, you are very uh distracting, and it just…slipped my mind." He said sheepishly and she sighed and turned back to the kitchen.

"So we still have like 45 minutes." He said and leaned against the doorway and she glared at him.

"Alright, no. I'm going to go unpack these things; I'll be just down the hall." He said quickly and motioned to the box and turned down the hall.

Rebecca felt something shake her awake and she cracked open an eye at Remus and looked at the clock.

"Its three in the freaking morning I hope you know."

"Moody needs you at headquarters." He said and she lifted her head.

"You have to be kidding me." She groaned. "Tell him to do it himself." She said and pushed her face in to the pillow.

"Becky-."

"Yeah I know, he probably wouldn't be beckoning me if it wasn't important." She said bitterly as she sat up and pushed her hair out of her face before fumbling for her wand in search of clothes in the dark room.

"I swear one of these days I am going to hurt that man. Sleep isn't important at all, how about from now on I live at the fucking headquarters that way I am at your beck and call at any fucking time of the day; in fact I will quit my job and commit my full time and attention towards being at your beck and call." She muttered under her breath as she searched for clothes and got dressed.

"I'll see you when you get back." Remus said as she walked out of the room and flooed to the headquarters.

"Who the hell is awake at three in the morning huh Moody? Three in the fucking morning, I swear this better be important or I will do some sort of damage to you." She said angrily to Moody as she walked up to him and he rolled his eyes at her as he walked to the basement and she threw her hand up.

"Of course they want me to read a fucking mind; it's my favorite thing to do at three in the morning." She said and followed him and saw a young boy who looked no older than herself looking scared in the chair he was confined to.

"We found him snooping around the headquarters a little while ago." He said and she looked at him dully.

"Come on this isn't a Death Eater, look at him." She said as she looked at Moody.

"Just do it Walcott."

"Alright so here is how it's going to go." She said as she walked up rolling her sleeves up. "I'm going to bust in your knee caps and peel off your skin-." She said and heard Moody clear his throat.

"Spoil sport." She said and pulled out her wand and dove in to the boys head.

"He doesn't know anything Moody; this was a waste of my time and precious moments of sleep I am not going to get back, good night Moody." She said and turned to leave.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes I am sure, if you don't believe me, then do it yourself." She said and turned and walked out of the basement and headed upstairs.

"Hey Becky, what are you doing here?" Marlene asked from the couch and Rebecca walked over to her and sat down next to her.

"You know the usual, being at the beck and call of Moody, it's all a part of my mind reading service." She said sarcastically and leaned her head back as she closed her eyes.

"You look tired."

"Thank you for pointing out the obvious Marley."

"No problem Becky." She said with a chuckle.

Rebecca listened to the crackling of the fire as her eyelids got heavy and she slipped off in to sleep.

She was shaken awake roughly and her eyes shot open as she looked up at Caradoc.

"We have to go." He said as he grabbed her hand and pulled her up.

"Wazgoingon?" She mumbled as she looked around wondering if perhaps she was dreaming.

"Death Eaters in Diagon Alley." He said urgently and pulled her towards the backyard and took her arm as he apparated them both.

Rebecca saw spells flying everywhere as her and Caradoc apparated to Diagon Ally.

"Where the hell is the Ministry?" She yelled as she looked around at Order members fighting the masked Death Eaters and Rebecca heard a child crying from not too far away and looked around and saw a small child huddled next to a bench. She shot up and ran across the street.

"Becky!" Caradoc yelled and she grabbed the small girl in her arms and ducked down an alcove as she tried to calm the crying child.

"Great idea Becky." She grumbled to herself as she peered out and found a wand in her face as she stared at the mask of a Death Eater and the child screamed and cried even more. Before Rebecca even had time to react the Death Eater slumped over and Rebecca looked beyond him and saw Sirius look at her from across the street before rushing over to her.

"What are you doing?"

"I couldn't just leave her." She said and a spell crashed in to the brick above her head, smashing rubble everywhere and Sirius grabbed her hand pushed her father down the alley behind the dumpster and disappeared.

"Shhhh, it's going to be alright." Rebecca said as she tried to calm the crying child but nothing seemed to be working.

"Becky?" She heard Remus say and she poked her head from out behind the dumpster and stood up and hugged him.

"Are you alright?" He asked as he looked her up and down quickly.

"Yes I'm fine. Are you alright?"

"Yeah, the Ministry is here, the Death Eaters are gone." He said and looked at the kid in her arms.

"I found her; I couldn't let something bad happen to her." She said and he led her out of the alley way.

"Emma!" Someone yelled down the street.

"Mama." The child said as she looked down the street. "Mama." She yelled and the woman rushed over with tears in her eyes.

"Thank god you're alright." The woman said and took the child from Rebecca.

"Thank you so much for saving my little girl." She said and kissed the little girl's head before disappearing down the street.

"I was worried when you didn't come back this morning." Remus said as he turned to her.

"Sorry, I fell asleep on the couch; I did mean to come back though."

"What happened? What did Moody need?"

"Found a Death Eater snooping around the Headquarters. He was probably younger than me." She said and took his hand.

"I'm just glad you're alright." He said and kissed her cheek as they walked over to Sirius, James and Lily.

"Are you guys alright?" Rebecca asked as she saw Lily healing a gash on James' shoulder.

"Yeah we're fine. You?" James asked.

"Yeah alright." She said as she looked at Sirius leaning against the wall staring at a dead boy no older than eight being covered up by a sheet down the street.

"We should probably get going." James said as he looked at the Aurors that were starting to fill the streets.

Rebecca heard a loud rumble from outside and glanced out the window at the darkening sky. Strange, it hadn't been so dark not too long ago. The rumbling got louder and Rebecca could feel the vibrations in her feet and things started to rattle around her. What the hell was going on? She grabbed her wand and walked to the front door and squinted through the rain that was now falling. It had come awful fast for a rainstorm. Suddenly she saw a figure in the air and her eyes got wide as she realized what it was. Sirius Black on a motorcycle. Well not just a motorcycle, apparently a flying one. He landed in front of the yard awkwardly, nearly falling over and pulled his helmet off and smiled at her.

"Whatcha think?" he shouted as he came over towards the house and she stared at it.

"I think you are crazy to have actually gotten it." She said with a smile as he walked up to her.

"Yeah I just though, why not?" he said looking back at it and turned to her. "Want to go for a ride?" She looked away from the motorcycle and looked at him strangely.

"With you?"

"Well do you know how to drive it?"

"Do you?" She asked skeptically.

"Well I am getting the hang of it." He said with a laugh and held the helmet out to her.

"I don't know if I really should, I value my life a bit more than that."

"Well I haven't died yet and I have been spending all day riding it."

"Don't muggles see you?"

"No it has a disillusionment charm on it. Come on its fun." He said and she bit her lip and took a breath.

"Alright but if we die I am going to kill you." She said and grabbed the helmet from him and walked towards the motorcycle.

"That doesn't even…make sense." He said to himself and followed her to the motorcycle and got on it and she got on behind him.

"You might want to hold on to me." He said and started up the motorcycle as she hesitantly wrapped her arms around his waist and he turned his head towards her.

"Hold on." He said with a smile.

"That's what I'm-." She said and all of a sudden they lurched forward and stopped quickly as the bike cut out.

"Wow that was fun, we should do that again some time." She said as she went to get off and he started it up again and she sat back down.

"Smart arse." He muttered to her before they sped forward and lifted in to the air.

"I wonder how fast it goes." He said with a grin and her eyebrows shot up.

"Don't you dare." She said dangerously before they shot forward quickly, Rebecca nearly lost grip before she latched herself to him and buried her face in to his back. She could hear the wind whizzing past her ears and she felt her stomach drop as they went faster and she could hear him laughing before he slowed down.

"You are an asshole Black, I hate you." She said as she hit her head against his back.

"Hey look, rainclouds." He said as he pointed to the right.

"I would much prefer to stay dry Black." She said through gritted teeth and they veered right and Rebecca could feel the water seeping through her clothes as she screamed.

"I hate you Black! Take me back NOW!"

"Come on where is your sense of adventure?" He asked and they suddenly dropped quickly and she screamed and heard him laughing.

"Sirius!" She yelled terrified as they got closer and closer to the ground and suddenly they sped forward and she could feel his whole body shake as he laughed hard and she hit his back as hard as she could before she felt the wheels skid on the ground and they came to a stop. She jumped off the bike and nearly fell over and took off her helmet and chucked it at him. He caught it with ease as he laughed and she glared at him and walked away from him.

"Come on Walcott, loosen up." He said and she started to pace and glared at him.

"That was NOT funny, we could have died."

"I knew what I was doing." He said with a shrug and put up the kickstand and got off the bike.

"I am soaked." She said and pointed her wand at herself and muttered a drying charm.

"Now you're not, come on Walcott, it was just a little fun, no need to get your panties in a bunch."

"My underwear does not concern you Black." She said with a roll of her eyes and stopped pacing and took a deep breath and looked around. "Where the hell are we?" She asked as she looked at the rural area around her.

"I'm not sure. We aren't terribly far from your place." He said and ran a hand through his hair as he looked at her.

"Well I think I might just walk back to the house." She said and looked around.

"How to you propose to do that?" He asked and she held her wand in her hand.

"Point me." She said as she looked at him and the wand pointed straight ahead.

"Well home is that way so I figure if I keep walking in that general direction I will eventually hit home. See? Easy." She said smartly as she started to walk.

"Come on Walcott." He said as he looked around and she kept walking.

"Have a good day Black." She said and he put the helmet down and strode after her.

"I can't let you walk." He said and she raised an eyebrow at him as she continued.

"Oh? Why is that?"

"It's too dangerous, what if you run in to something dangerous?"

"Well I figure the worst thing I can probably run in to is a Death Eater and I am pretty sure I can manage."

"Walcott come on." He pleaded with her and looked back at the bike and she gave him a wave over her shoulder and he ran after her.

"Come on I promise I wont try any funny stuff, I will just take you back." He said as he stood in front of her.

"I have no interest in dying on a motorcycle today, I'm supposed to meet Lily tonight so it is my duty as the maid of honor to stay alive to see Lily's wedding through." She said smiling broadly.

"Please Walcott; Moony will kill me if anything happens to you." He said exasperated and she turned and looked at him with a smirk.

"Is that so?"

"So if I fall and say scrape my knee because you brought me out here Remus is going to kill you?"

"You know what I mean, in the event you like nearly die or something."

"So you mean when we nearly died earlier?"

"We didn't nearly die; it was just a little bit of fun." He said with a shrug.

"You know what we are going to do?" She asked as she walked towards him quickly and he took a step backwards as she got in his face. "You are going to take me back home, just a normal ride, no funny business or anything, alright?"

"Fine."

"And this is only because it's going to rain soon and I don't want to walk in the rain so let's hurry." She said and he smiled at her.

"Why are you smiling?"

"You should see your hair right now." He said and she gave him a hard push from the chest and walked past him and back to the motorcycle and stood by it as he walked over.

"Come on; smile Walcott, aren't you having fun?" He asked and she glared at him and crossed her arms over her chest. He shook his head to himself and got on to the bike and she got on behind him before they lifted up in to the air towards her house.

"This was fun Walcott we should do it again some other time." Sirius called after her as she walked towards the front door and she held up the middle finger towards him behind her before she walked in to the house and slammed the door behind her. He stared at the door for a moment and shook his head to himself before climbing back on to the motorcycle and heading home.

Rebecca walked around the basement and stared at the large cage in the corner of the room which Remus would be using for his transformations. Staring at it made her heart break knowing that later that night he would be locked inside like some sort of animal. She had finished up the last of the charms to reinforce the cage as to prevent any kind of break out of any kind, as well as the door incase he did manage to escape the cage he would not be able to get in to the house. The small window was the only source of light in the room which light was shining through which was too small for anything to really get in or out of so she left it alone. She turned around and headed up the stairs and went to the bedroom and saw Remus asleep on the bed looking as pale and sick as always and she walked to the side of the bed and sat down next to him to watch him sleep. His nose twitched and his eyes opened up and he looked at her.

"Hey." He croaked as he sat up.

"I'm sorry did I wake you?" She asked softly as she leaned towards him.

"I could smell you." He said and rubbed his eyes.

"I'm sorry I'll let you sleep." She said as she got up and he took her hand and pulled him slowly towards her.

"I sleep better with you here." He said and patted the bed next to him.

"Are you sure?" She asked and he lay down and nodded. She sighed and slipped her jacket off and tossed it aside as she curled up next to him and he buried his face in the back of her neck. She could feel his hot breath against her neck and he snaked his arm around her waist and kissed the back of her neck, his fingers slipping under her shirt and brushing her stomach.

"Remus." She said with a frown and turned to him and he looked at her oddly.

"Something wrong?" He mumbled.

"Yes, you're supposed to be sleeping and you're trying to make the moves on me." She said humorously and he pushed her shirt up with his finger tips and looked at her.

"You're supposed to be resting Remus."

"I'm not tired." He said before yawning and she raised an eyebrow at him. "That doesn't count."

"Remus I would like you to get your rest before tonight. Are you sure you don't want me to be here?"

"Yeah I'm sure, it would be better just to make sure everything is alright." He said and she sighed. "Besides you haven't seen Andrew in a while, I'm sure you miss him."

"I don't think I will be able to have a good time knowing what is going on with you." She said and laced her fingers with his.

"I'll be fine, I always am." He said and kissed her shoulder.

"You should sleep Remus." She said touching the side of his face lightly.

"Will you stay with me until you have to leave?" he asked and she smiled.

"Of course.' She said and wrapped her arms around him and laid her head on his chest.

"Promise me you won't come back until dawn." He said as he stroked circles on her arm.

"I promise." She said with a sigh and kissed his cheek. "Now sleep."

Rebecca tumbled out of the fireplace and heard a laugh somewhere around her. She lifted her head and saw Andrew leaning against the couch laughing before he walked over and held his hand out to her.

"I can do it myself." She said as she swatted his hand away and straightened herself out.

"Alright then, come on, Rebecca is waiting outside." He said as he motioned towards the back door.

"This is a nice place." She said as she looked around.

"Well my uncle is a very good sales man; someday I'll have something like this. You know, beach front." He said with a grin and she scoffed.

"As if." She said with a grin and he rolled his eyes at her.

"Thanks for the support Becca." He said and stepped outside and Rebecca saw a slender blonde sitting at the table talking with a man that Rebecca recognized as Andrew's uncle.

"Rebecca, it's good to see you again. My you grew up fast." He said as he got up and walked over to her and gave her a hug.

"You must be Becca." The girl said as she got up with a smile.

"Yeah and you must be Rebecca." Rebecca said and the slender blonde hugged Rebecca.

"I fell like I already know you the way Andrew talks about you. Please sit down." She said and Rebecca took her seat.

"That must be annoying."

"No, not at all, I am so glad to finally meet you." She said as she smiled and took Andrew's hand in her own.

"So Andy tells me you're a model." Rebecca said as she took a sandwich from the tray in front of her.

"Oh he exaggerates; I've done a few things in some catalogs." She said with a smile as she looked at Andrew.

"Oh she is being modest, she got an offer for a Ralph Lauren shoot, isn't that right?"

"It's really nothing." She said and took a drink of her water.

"So Becca, what's been new with you? I haven't seen you since your birthday I think."

"It's been alright I suppose, just working, taking care of business." Rebecca said and poured herself some lemonade as Andrew started talking about school.

"Becca?" Andrew said as he walked up to her sitting on one of the beach chairs out on the desk looking out to the setting sun.

"Hey Andy." She said as she glanced at him and sighed as she leaned her head back.

"So what did you think of her?" He asked as he took the seat next to her.

"She is nice I suppose." Rebecca said with a shrug.

"I hear a but." Andrew said and sighed.

"No, no but, she just seems nice."

"Sure is pretty huh?"

"Yeah, I don't know what she sees in you." She said teasingly and stuck her tongue out at him.

"Yeah she is really something." He said and stared out to the ocean.

"How is Remus?"

"He's alright."

"Won't he be missing you or something?"

"Are you trying to get rid of me Andy?" She asked raising an eyebrow at him.

"No, stay as long as you want. I was just wondering why you weren't home yet. Everything is fine right?"

"Yeah." She said softly not looking at him.

"Are you alright? All day you've seemed distracted."

"Yes Andy I'm fine." She said and looked at him.

"You just seem kind of sad."

"Well it's a full moon tonight."

"What's that got to do with anything?"

"Well…it has to do with Remus." She said softly and stared at the ground.

"Why would it have…" He said slowly and drifted off. "Is he…a werewolf?" He asked and she didn't answer. "Becca-."

"Yes, he is. Is it a problem?" She asked as she looked at him.

"It doesn't sound safe-."

"It doesn't change who he is Andy." She said sharply.

"But he is a monster." He said and she glared at him.

"He is not a monster." She sneered and got up. "I had no idea you were so prejudice." She said darkly.

"I didn't mean it like that Bec-."

"Yes you did." She said her back to him as she leaned against the railing.

"Becca, I didn't mean that." He said as he got up and walked over to her.

"It doesn't change who he is Andy, he is a good person." She said and covered her face as tears came to her eyes. "And sometimes I feel so useless not being able to help him." She said her voice cracking.

"Becca werewolves are dangerous-."

"Remus is not dangerous Andy." She said and turned to him as he stared at her. "He isn't. He always takes precautions, it isn't like you think."

She turned back to the water and stared at the waves lapping up on the shore and receding back before crashing back on to the shore. Andrew stayed silent and they stood there for a long while until he cleared his throat.

"You're right." He said and she looked at him.

"I don't really like the idea, it does make me a bit edgy but you know, I trust your judgment. Just be careful. These types of things can get out of control real fast. Where does he…you know-."

"In the basement. I've put reinforcement charms all over; there is no way he can get out."

"Wow…I never saw it, you know…Remus being a werewolf. When did you find out?"

"When we were in school."

"It doesn't bother you the slightest?"

"No, because that's not who he is Andy, he is Remus, every bit human that you and I are, save a few hours each month. It doesn't change who he is." She said fiercely and shook her head to herself. "I should get home. I'll see you later Andy."

"Becca." He said as he took her hand. "I'm sorry."

"I'll see you later." She said and walked back in to the house.

"Leaving so soon?" Andrew's uncle said as she walked in to the living room.

"Yeah, it was good to see you again Ben."

"You too sweetheart." He said and she grabbed some floo powder and lit up the fireplace and flooed back home.
