It was the full moon. Cassiopeia was scared for Remus, she loved him, and she knew how hard was for him to bare those nights.

She had a small tradition. Every time there was a full moon, she went to the astronomy tower and watched the moon. She would listen to the howls, but kept thinking about the moon's beauty. This time was no different. The fifth year Gryffindor found herself staring at the moon.

She was staring at the whomping willow when something strange happened before her eyes. The marauders were walking in, could they be that stupid? She got scared and decided to follow them.

Worst idea she has ever had.

When she managed to get past the giant moving tree, she didn't see her friends, but three animals and a werewolf, who unfortunately had already smelled her.

"Bloody hell!"

She backed away, the animals trying to hold back a very angry werewolf.

They couldn't.

Remus clawed her arm and stomach, yet she wasn't scared, she felt guilty. A black dog held Remus back enough for her to get out of the shrieking shack, when she was safe, she passed out from blood loss.

"Boys, please, let her breathe" that voice belonged to Poppy. She slowly opened her eyes to see a bunch of people hovering on top of her.

Sirius, Lilly, James, Peter, Marlene, and Dorcas were very worried.

"Where's Remus?" That was the first thing she could ask.

"He's beside you, in the es beside you" she heard James's voice tell her.

"I need to talk to him" was all she needed to say, everyone left.

"I'm sorry Remus"

He looked at her wide eye. He wasn't expecting an apology, he was expecting screams and hate.

"So you're not- you're not afraid of me?" He was crying. Remus was boy who cried far to often.

"Scared? No! I'm so stupid, I mean I was scared for Sirius,James, and Peter. Then I realized they were animagi, but it was to late."

He was speechless. He didn't know what to say, he felt like crap, but she didn't care, she was truly the one.

"No need to apologize. It was our fault for not telling you"

She smiled and kissed him on the lips. It was a soft kiss, nice, they needed it. Remus smiled, that was everything he wanted, she was everything he wanted.

"I love you"

"I love you too"
