When Ottilia came back to her dorm that morning, the girls were asleep. Ottilia felt relieved, because she didn't want to answer the girls questions about why she looked furious.

She tried to get some sleep before it was time for breakfast. She fell asleep and woke up an hour later and went down to breakfast. It was Monday and Ottilia didn't feel for going to her classes, but she knew that she needed to.

When she walked through the doors to the great hall she had four choices where she could sit. She could sit down with the girls and act like nothing, sit down with James and Peter, sit alone or with Sirius, but she was furious at Sirius and she refused to sit with him. She decided to sit with the girls and act like nothing was wrong.

"Good morning Ottilia," Lily greeted her with a smile, but her smile faded when she saw Ottilia's expression. "Is something wrong?"

"What does it look like," Ottilia mumbled as she served herself a cup of tea. She didn't have any appetite at all. Ottilia wanted to go and check on Remus, so she drank her tea and then she stood up.

When she was about to leave the great hall, Sirius had caught up on her.

"Ottilia," Sirius said and he grabbed her wrist to stop her from walking away. "Listen, I'm sorry. Can we talk?"

"For the first, it's not me who you should talk to and apologise to," Ottilia snapped and the whole great hall looked at them now. "Then, don't touch me and please fuck off and burn in hell where you belong!" Then she stormed out from the great hall and walked towards the hospital wing to check on Remus.

She entered the hospital wing and it was almost empty, only Remus and Madam Pomfrey was there. Remus sat on a bed and sobbed in Madam Pomfrey's arms.

"Hi," Ottilia said and she walked up to Remus and he looked up and wiped his tears. "I just wanted you to know that I'm so sorry, I had no idea about this and I wish I could've stopped it. I know that my apology can't undo this, but-"

"Lia," Remus interrupted. "It wasn't your fault. You didn't say anything, but I could see your expression in your face. You wasn't a part of it, I know that."

"You do?" Ottilia asked surprised and he nodded. "Do you want me to do anything for you?"

"There's nothing you can do about the fact that Snape knows," Remus sighed hopelessly and at that moment the door to the hospital wing opened and Dumbledore came in.

"Good morning Mr Lupin," Dumbledore said. "Mr Snape came to me this morning and told me that Mr Black had told him to go to the shrieking shack last night-"

"Professor," Ottilia interrupted. "It wasn't Remus' fault."

"I know, Miss Aubry," Dumbledore replied. "I just wanted to inform you that I made Mr Snape to promise to not tell anyone about what he saw."

"Like a promise from him is going to solve this, he's going to tell everyone. He fucking hates us," Ottilia scoffed.

"I made sure to Mr Snape that he will face consequences if he tells anyone," Dumbledore assured them. "And Mr Black will receive a month of detention. By the way, Mr Lupin, take the time you need. Take the week off."

"Thank you Professor," Remus thanked him and Dumbledore left the hospital wing.

"I need to go to dada," Ottilia told him. "I'll see you later. Can I come up to your dorm later?" Remus nodded and they said goodbye.

Ottilia hurried to her class and the first thing she noticed was that Sirius and James stood there and talked and they looked happy. James didn't seem to be angry at Sirius or even a little disappointed. Sometimes James didn't understand what the consequences could be and this time was some time. James had a too much of a kind heart to be angry and Sirius was like a brother to him, so Ottilia understood why, but she wouldn't forgive Sirius until Remus had. Ottilia would be on Remus' side when it came to this. Ottilia also knew that Peter would be on James' side, because he always followed James like a tail.
