The view was gorgeous. The sun was slowly beginning to set but not entirely gone, and the soft summer breeze gently blew against the guests' hair and dresses. It was a glorious sight. You stood at the very edge, watching with bated breath as you nervously held the flowers in your hand. Your hands felt cold, and your stomach was in knots. You're positive if you had extended your arm, your hands would have been shaking. Looking at the end of the aisle, you saw him. And suddenly, the darkness in your head became daylight.

It was after OWLS that you, Remus, Sirius, and James lounged in the common room. You didn't have much to do since your exams ended. You laid your legs on top of Sirius', and he gave them a comforting squeeze. Smiling back at him, you flicked another piece of popcorn at James' face. He unsurprisingly caught the popcorn.

"How do you reckon you did on the exams, love?" Sirius asked, reaching for the bowl on your lap. You shrugged. You were so nervous leading up to the exams that you weren't even sure you passed. Remus had helped you study, and he knew that you would pass. However, you did not return the confidence. Remus' interest piqued and is waiting to hear your answer. He had spent the better half of two months tutoring you. Bless him; he would wake up early to create flashcards for you. He would prepare practice quizzes for you to feel more confident in your skills.

"Truthfully? I don't think I am going to pass. I feel like I completely failed!" You confess. Sirius looked at you, slightly confused. He knew that Remus had been tutoring you like a madman. He would've assumed you would've felt confident enough to agree that you had passed.

"It's okay, Y/n. I, too, feel like I failed." James chimed in. He popped another piece of popcorn in his mouth. He didn't think he had failed, but he didn't want all the attention on you. He saw you get tense.

"Dove, why do you feel you failed?" Remus asked in a soft tone. You groan. How could you explain to your lovely Remus that you probably failed because the better half of your tutoring sessions were spent with you staring at him? A blush crept its way to your cheeks at the attention. You wouldn't fess up to Remus, so why did you feel so uneasy about your exams?

"I just don't think I did well, s'all." You spoke as you turned to look at Remus' stare. His warm brown eyes held a comforting look that you almost forgot that it was because you were in love with him that you felt that you had failed.

"I think you did just fine, dove." Remus got up and squeezed your hand as he left the common room. You felt like you were being roasted. Your face had become hot, and Sirius seemed to catch on.

"Love, you okay over there?" Sirius commented. You turned to glare at him and nodded nonetheless, but he didn't respond. So, he had made eye contact with James. Neither he nor James believed you. It had become an underlying suspicion between the two boys that you were smitten for your friend. But James had convinced Sirius not to tease you about it anymore. He just didn't think it would do you any favors if Sirius continued to tease you for being so shy around Remus. The boys dropped it and opted to go to the Great Hall in order to eat their dinner.

"Y/n?" James spoke as he saw Sirius at the door. You look up at him with slight confusion in your face as you turn.

"If you like him, please tell him." James didn't say anything else and walked back up to Sirius. They left you in shock, were you really that obvious?

Remus had opted to go visit the astronomy tower. He knew there was something that you weren't telling him about why you felt so uneasy about your exams. He spent hours working with you to ensure that you knew what you were doing. He graded your work and he saw how smart you were. So why didn't you believe in yourself? What was causing you not to believe in yourself the way he did in you? Maybe he was slightly biased but it was you. You were everything for him. So he believed you passed. He couldn't understand why you didn't see that. He of course would never tell you out right how much he cared and why he cared that much. But he would try and show it in ways he knew. Which was why he was now sitting in the astronomy tower staring out onto the stars thinking about you and how he desperately wished he could tell you he loved you. Yet he wouldn't do that, he wouldn't dare do anything that would cause him not to have you anymore. So there alone he sat not thinking much about what was happening with you to think that you weren't brilliant. His inner sulking was cut short when he heard someone on the stairs.
