Summer break was finally here. Cassiopeia decided not to listen to her older sister commands and went to Andromeda's. James offered her a place, but she always thought of herself as a burden.

Interrupting her from her thoughts, a white owl tapped on her window. She recognized it as Remus's owl, Romulo.

Cass,

I've talked to my parents, and they want to see you again, this time as my girlfriend. I wish for you to come to dinner tonight at 6:00.

Love,

Moony

She smiled and quickly replayed a "yes". She was excited, and wore her best cloak and a beautiful dress. She was happy, no one made her as happy as Remus.

"Andy! I'm going to Remus's"

🌑🌑🌑

"You're here!"

Lupin's voice was like a melody to Cassiopeia. It was soothing and it made her peaceful. Behind that smile she painted, Remus could see an obvious worry look on his girlfriend's eyes.

"What's wrong, love?"

"I've got a war in my mind"

She looked lost. Like she did when the two lovers fought for a year. She was lost again.

"What do you mean?"

He was scared, scared for her.

"It's the war, the Dark Lord is looking for me"

Remus got scared. He knew that if Voldemort found about him being a werewolf, he could also try to recruit him for his evil army.

"How- how do you know?"

Cassiopeia told Remus what happen at Bella's four years ago. She saw fear in his eyes, she was scared that he would leave her.

"Maybe, maybe we should stay away from each other. Maybe I'm a danger to all of you"

Remus realized his mistake, he shouldn't be scared, she was not scared of him.

"None sense. You are staying with us, we are fighting together. Forever"

"I'm so scared. I don't know if I can bear it anymore. I don't know what to do."

Remus kissed her forehead. Everyone was scared, they were in the middle of a war. No one knew what to do.

"Remus, this is war. People die every day, and I'm scared that because of me one of your names is going to appear the next day in the Daily Profet."

She was scared for her friends.

"It'll be okay Cass, trust me"

And she wanted to trust him. But it was hard with everything she saw. Every day a muggle family got killed, everyday a muggleborn wizard got killed. It was scary, and dark times came ahead.
