A.N God its been so long since i worked on this. I had started the chapter the moment i had posted the last one and it just sat on my computer.. In the mean time i finished highschool and started university, which funny enough takes up alot of time. But i want to keep going with this story and thanks to the reviews that were sent to me a YEAR after my last update i was motivated to keep going. So this chapter is for you amarama and Siriuslover7.

How Dangerous is Mooney?

By lunch time Lily was getting ready to throw her wand out the hospital wing window. Whatever she attempted ended up in flames, completely blew up or just sat there stubbornly as if mocking her.

With a growl she jabbed her wand one more time at the match. Nothing.

Letting out a frustrated yell she tossed her wand onto the mattress in front of her.

"I'm never going to get this right" she sulked.

Instead of a reply, Cedric just knotted his eyebrows together.

"What?" Lily asked.

"I don't know, it just seems strange that your wand doesn't co-operate with you. What core does it have?"

"Fwooper Feather"

Cedric was shocked and confused. "That is such a weird core to have I've never heard of it being a wand core before. Who did you get it from? Olivander doesn't do wand cores like that. Did you go abroad for it?"

Lily shook her head. "I got it from Olivander's. Mooney took me to Diagon Alley to get it"

"Is Mooney like your carer or something?"

"My what?"

"You know carer, sort of like a Nanny I guess. I mean you are a Samuels"

"Well I live with my adoptive parents so no, I don't have a carer. It makes it sound like I'm a spoilt rich kid."

"Well most pureblood kids have a carer. I did" he replied stiffly.

Lily's eyes became saucers. "Oh. I'm so, so, so sorry. I didn't mean that all kids with carers turn out like spoil brats." She hit her forehead with her hand. "This isn't coming out like I wanted it to."

With the awkward tension now present in the room, Cedric thought it best to depart.

"Well I guess I better go now"

Lily's head snapped up to look the older boy in the eye. "I'm sorry" she whispered, tears beginning to brim her eyelashes. "Please don't go because I said that. I was getting close with you helping with my spells."

"You can get help from teachers, that is why they are there" Cedric dead panned

"So you won't be tutoring me anymore?"

"We wouldn't want you to be around a spoilt rich kid that had a carer"

Lily let out a sob. "That isn't what I meant. Please don't go, I'm sorry"

"Good luck with your studies Miss Samuels" Cedric nodded towards the girl, and with that packed up his gear and left the hospital wing leaving a sobbing Lily behind.

Lily was found half an hour later with tear tracks dried on her cheeks. But this time it wasn't the school healer that found her.

"Lily?" Came a voice that the girl could swear she recognised. "What happened?"

Sniffling Lily rubbed her eyes and turned over to meet eyes with Remus Lupin.

"MOONEY!" she cried out as she jumped from her bed and wrapped her arms around him tightly.

With a hiss of pain from Remus, she pulled back to fully realise that Mooney looked like hell had warmed to boiling point.

"You don't look so good. Are you hurt?"

Remus' eyes landed on almost every object within the room except Lily. "It was just a rough night."

The first year nodded her head slowly in the way when things get awkward.

"And what about you? Surely a girl your age should be outside running around not in here crying."

Lily hung her head and sniffled lightly. "I said something stupid without thinking and I hurt someone because of it."

Remus sat down on the edge of the bed beside the young girl. "I'm sure if you explained yourself to them they would understand."

Brunette hair shook from side to side. "I tried but he walked off and now he isn't going to help me with my classes. I was so stupid."

"I doubt that is true Lily, plus you have had only one day of classes so I'm sure it isn't that bad."

"My wand doesn't co-operate with me. Cedric said it was a weird core to get from Olivander's and well it doesn't work for me. I set a desk on fire in Transfiguration."

Lily watched as Mooney's eyebrows knitted together.

"What? What's wrong?" she asked

"Maybe I better see the Headmaster about taking you back to Olivander's and have a talk about this wand, because surely if the wand picked you it should co-operate"

"When will you be able to take me?"

"Well I best go see Dumbledore now" Remus thought out loud, "because if you have classes starting again tomorrow, you might be best to have the wand looked at right away."

"Oh... will you be taking me?" Lily asked as Remus turned to leave the wing.

A small smile played on the lips of the sore man as he replied "Only if you want me to."

"Please!" the girl cried immediately, causing a quiet chuckle from Mooney.

"I'll be right back," he smiled, "so dry your eyes and I'll sort this all out." And with that Lupin left the wing leaving Lily alone once more, but in a happier mood.

Lily was bored. That's all she could sum it down to. There she sat twiddling her thumbs waiting for Mooney to come back to find out whether or not she would be going to Diagon Alley today.

The entrance door opening with a groan broke Lily's attention from her thumbs and glanced in the direction of the mentioned door. Mooney had returned.

"So what did he say?" Lily asked filled with excitement. Her answer was a small nod accompanied by a smile upon Remus' lips.

"We shall be leaving the moment you are ready"

A slight rustling later and Remus was greeted with the sight of a fully dressed Lily, with shoes on her feet, bag in hand and a facial expression that said 'can we go now?'

"That was ... fast?" Remus seemed shocked to find Lily already to go.

A blush graced the girls cheeks as she looked down at her feet shyly. "I guess I sort of hoped he would say yes and got ready"

"ha ha" chuckled Mooney, "well hurry up, the sooner we leave, the sooner you will have a new wand"

Lily found herself once again walking along the path in Diagon Alley, with Mooney by her side... again.
But this time only one of the stores held their destination. So once again Lily found her sight landing on window that held a single wand in the window. 'Olivanders'.

Hopefully the man was around.

As the door jingled indicating the entrance of Lily and Remus into the store, Olivander came bustling to the front of the store.

"ahh Mr. Remus Lupin, Cherry, flexible with phoenix feather," the wand maker said, "a good all round wand I must say. What can I do for you my boy?"

"Well it seems that the wand you gave Lily here, does not co-operate with her. According to her teacher, it set a desk on fire during transfiguration" Remus explained.

The elderly man turned his attention to the girl hiding slightly behind the legs of Mooney, and looked at her over a set of glasses he was currently wearing.

"Yes, Miss Samuels. Cherry, pliable with my Fwooper feather. Set a desk on fire you say?"

Lily nodded her confirmation.

"Ahh, yes well I had a feeling it might not co-operate, Fwoopers themselves don't make the best pets," Olivander said, "but never matter, you may keep a hold of that wand Miss Samuels, I can't sell it now that if chose you but I doubt Fwooper feather cores will make a huge selling in my shop. Come we shall find you a new wand."

Half an hour later saw Lily and Remus still standing in the wand shop no closer to finding Lily her new wand.

Olivander let out a sigh, "I don't understand, your magic reacts well with Cherry, but no core seems to want to work for you."

It was true, neither the dragon heartstring or unicorn hair appeared to choose Lily, even having held Remus' wand by Olivanders orders didn't seem to work well for her.

"This has been an interesting day," said Olivander as he rubbed the bridge of his nose, "say Mr Lupin could you assist me out the back for a moment? There is a few wands out the back that might work."

A nod from Mooney indicated his agreement, and a few seconds later found Lily standing alone in the front of the store.

As she looked around the store, she realised it looked much like a shoe store with all the boxes lining the walls, but unlike a shoe store, no wands were on display... except..

Lily turned around to stare at the one wand that always stayed out in the open. It was lain on a single pillow in the stores window, just sitting there. Was this Olivander's wand perhaps? No that was stupid, no one would leave their wand out in the open like that, so why?

"Thank you for that Mr Lupin" the voice of Olivander interrupted her thinking as both him and Mooney walked back to the front of the store.

"Lily are you alright?" asked Remus.

Lily nodded. "I was just looking at this wand. Why is it the only one out of its box?" she had pointed to the one in the window, just as all colour had left Remus' face.

"That Miss Samuels, is another one of my test wands. Quite an interesting story to that one, werewolf hair core in ...," Olivander supplied as his eyes lit up, "Cherry Wood."

Suddenly Lily didn't feel comfortable being in the same room as the wand maker.

A quarter of an hour later found Lily and Remus FINALLY leaving Olivanders with Lily's new 'werewolf' core wand in a bag.

'I don't know about this Mooney," Lily spoke up breaking the silence between the two, "another test wand? I already had one run in with a werewolf I don't think I need this wand around to remind me."

As Lily continued to walk she failed to see Remus had stop walking alongside her. That is until she turned to talk to him again. "Say Moon... Mooney?"

A slight glance around the lane found Mooney a few metre behind her. As she approached him she noticed once again the colour had left his face.

"Mooney? Are you ok?" she asked.

"W-w-what do you mean you had a run in with a w-w-w-werewolf?" he questioned.

"oh well i got detention for sneaking that crup into school and I was helping Hagrid on the grounds and I got jumped by a werewolf," noticing how even more pale Mooney's face became she quickly explained "don't worry I didn't get bitten... but then my eyes did turn yellow when I was in the hospital wing so maybe I did get bitten ..." her reply finished into a mumble as she began to go over other events in her mind.

Remus stood their shaking. Something was eating him in the back of his mind. A girl leant over a pumpkin patch looked up when a twig snapped under his foot. 'Hello?' she had called out, 'Hagrid?'. Mooney pounced. This girl smelt familiar but human over beared that familiar smell. ATTACK was the only thing on his mind as he jumped. The girl under him was scared, he could smell it. THUD! An arrow imbedded itself in the ground a few measures away from himself. DANGER! Was all he knew as he removed himself from above the human girl and took off into the forest... the black forest of Hogwarts! ! Realisation hit Mooney. That werewolf that had jumped her was HIM!

He couldn't believe it how could he do that to her? God had he bitten her? He did remember that Lily had said they weren't sure because her eyes had changed in the hospital wing.

He was a danger to this girl, he had to get as far away from her as possible. They needed to get back to Hogwarts NOW! And he needed to leave Hogsmeade immediately. He was not safe.

"Mooney?" a voice snapped him out of his thoughts. It was Lily.

"You okay?" she asked, "You look pale again"

Running a hand through his hair, Mooney let out a sigh. "I'm fine," he lied, "but I better be getting you back to school now, especially if you want to be there in time for dinner."

"Ok" she replied with a smile. 'She has no idea what I almost did to her' thought Remus.

"But can I please go into Muggle London for a moment? That friend I hurt likes Cadbury Chocolate and I thought maybe that might help him forgive me."

Remus allowed a small smile to brace his lips. "Of course we can. I could go for some myself, I have a near insatiable sweet tooth. Let's go."

Lily walked beside Remus with a slight skip in her step. She really liked Mooney, he made her feel safe.

Too bad Remus thought the exact opposite as he dragged his feet, really hoping to get this over with fast enough. Lily wouldn't be safe until she was inside the walls of Hogwarts and he was on the other side of the world.

A.N I hope you enjoyed the chapter... a few interesting facts in this story. Although seriously disappointed in the lack of wand cores available out in the world of Harry Potter. But oh well. Hopefully next chapter Cedric can forgive Lily. Well please leave a review they make me so HAPPY.
