The next time I saw Remus I was sitting in the back of the potions classroom, today the Gryffindors and the Ravenclass had the class together. Professor Slughorn was going on about the properties of The Polyjuice Potion while I was writing down notes. Suddenly, the door banged open and they walked in.

The Marauders. Remus stood with his three other friends, they were all panting and their clothes were disheveled. Is it a requirement to be hot to be a Marauder? "Sorry Professor, we slept in" Remus spoke first.

"Oh it's alright, just don't let it happen again" said Slughorn, that man is way too nice. "Now go find a seat"

Pettegrew goes and sits with a Pretty curly headed gryffindor. Black sits with Potter at the table next to mine. Remus spots me and smiles walking over. The hell?

When he reaches my table he points at the empty seat next to me, "My lady, would you mind if I sit?" he asks in a low voice, not wanting to interrupt Slughorn. I'm a bit stunned so I just nod. He sits and turns to me "I never got to thank you for the cannolis, they were really good."

"Thank you" I'm not used to people other than Reg and Barty talking to me, I can feel my cheeks heat up due to the attention so I look down at the table. "I can make more if you'd like"

I looked to the side to find him nodding with a friendly smile on his face, "Please, the boys loved them too, had to keep them from killing each other over the last one"he said.

I hold in a chuckle and settle for giving him a small smile, I was about to reply when none other than Potter interrupted. "Hey Moony, who's this?" he asks.

Remus shrugs "I'd actually like to know that myself" he says looking at me.

I look at him with a black stare. "We've met before Remus"

"You never told me your name, my lady" he says. he's right I never did.

"My lady?" James interrupted again looking perplexed. "Remus did you find yourself a girl and didn't tell us?" he got that mischievous look in his eyes, and he smiles that panty dropping smile at me - he can't go around smiling at people like that.

This question seemed to catch Black's attention, he walks over and slings his arm around my shoulders and smirks at me, It all seems forced. "is that right?" He asks.

I tense immediately, "Black, get your arm off of me before I rip it off" my voice was cold, and sharp. He did, and backed away a little, James did too. They looked scared, Remus on the other hand looks half confused half concerned. 

"What did I do to you?" Black asks, his voice cautious. I turn to look at him, more like glare. 

He looks good...healthy. can't say the same thing about Reg. I thought bitterly. 

When I didn't say anything Remus turned to me and started speaking. "These are my best mates Sirius and James, but I'm sure you already know that." he smiled at me, referring to our time outside the Ravenclaw common room. 

I smiled at him and hesitantly turned to Potter, I'm instantly met with beautiful hazel eyes. James Potter is looking down on me with a friendly smile, a hand ruffling his hair. He's even hotter up close. 

 I turn back to Remus, widening my eyes, silently asking for help. The bastard just smiles, finding the situation amusing. "Go on, introduce yourself" he teases. I narrow my eyes at him. 

"Im Delilah" I say, still looking at Remus since I never did tell him my name. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to remove myself from this unwanted situation you males have created for me" With that I stood up just as Professor Slughorn announced the class was over.

I turned to Remus one last time before curtsying "Kind sir" 

He smiled and reached his hand up tipping down his invisible hat at me, "My lady"

I looked over to James and Sirius reluctantly offering them a nod. James was looking at me curiously, Sirius wasn't looking at me he was staring at Remus with an unreadable expression.

When I was walking out of the door I heard James. "How come she likes you, but looks at us like she'd rather be anywhere else?" His voice sounded indignant, I supposed he was talking to Remus. 

"Prongs, you're not that likable" Remus deadpanned, making James let out a grunt. 

"At least she doesn't hate you" Sirius exclaimed. "I haven't even talked to her before, how come she hates me already"

I didn't hear the reply as I was already out of earshot. 

I know I don't have any right to be mad at him , he didn't do anything to me. But he left Reg in that house, knowing how they are, he still left him. And that's just something I can't ignore, not after seeing how hurt Reg is.
