15th May 1978

Solana was glad that Professor McGonagall didn't receive the letter Remus sent her, cancelling their sessions months ago. It was the only time she could be away from Antonin, he knew that she couldn't get out of it.

Madam Pince glared at their unopened books as they sat laughing by the window in the Library.

They spoke about the first time his friends transformed, how Potter got his antlers stuck in the wall and how it took them ages to get them out, Solana couldn't help but notice how different he looked now compared to the picture she had of him, his laugh was much more natural.

"It's really nice of them to do what they did," Solana said.

Remus nodded. "Yeah... they're... they're really great,"

Solana smiled, glancing at the clock.

"Are you bored of me already?" Remus rolled his eyes.

"Very," Solana nodded, but kept a sly smile. "Just checking we haven't gone over,"

"That clock is slow," Madam Pince said walking over so them, "I've asked Filch fifty times to fix it,"

Solana furrowed her brows at the librarian, surely she could just use magic to fix it, but after the many glares she had received that session she did not want to prompt another one.

Madam Pince handed Remus an envelope with a small sticker in the corner with a women's head.

"This arrived for you, a muggle postman brought it, poor bloke has been scouring the area trying to post it but he obviously cannot see the school," she said, shaking her head. "Had to get Hagrid to go pick it up, he's been circling the school for about five hours,"

"Thanks, Madam Pince," Remus smiled, as he opened up the letter.

Solana thought she hid her curiosity but she clearly hadn't as he looked up at her behind the letter. She pretended to look occupied with the book shelf.

"Will you get mad if I told you you're just like Sirius?" Remus asked, raising his brows.

"Yes. Seeing as I am older than him so technically he is like me," Solana said, crossing her arms.

He tutted to himself. "Sorry, my bad,"

"So..." she nodded towards the envelope.

She knew he wanted to make another remark on how she was similar to her cousin but he opted not to say anything. "It's from my friend back home, it's her birthday party on Friday and she's inviting me down."

"She?" Solana wiggled her brows, she wondered if she was hiding her jealousy behind her smile, she hoped she was.

Remus rolled his eyes, "She is just a friend, we've been friends since we were in nappies, like literally, my mums got a picture of us when we were barely two years old."
