I sat at a table in the library, finally having found somewhere away from everyone but people of a likemind.
I open my book and sigh contentedly and then start to read, happy at last to find time to read at all.

I sit down at a table in the library, opening my book.
I glance up at the person I was sharing a table with.
"Oh, hi Grace." I smile.

"Hey Rem," I smile, pecking him on the cheek. "Rin's very nice. You sure have done well for yourself."

I felt my cheeks grow slightly hot where she pecked me, but I ignore it. "Yeah, she's something alright." I smile.

"Very lucky guy. Very lucky girl." I remark, then giggle. "Rem, are you blushing?"

"Er...no." I laugh.

"Sure, keep telling yourself that." I grin, playfully shoving him in the arm.

"Ow, painful." I grin, rubbing my arm.

"Yeah, right." I nod. "That wasn't a very ladylike snort, Grace. I'm shocked." I smirk.

"Shocked? How could you be shocked? Don't you remember that time when I got completely hammered and-..." I smirk slightly. "...well, wasn't very ladylike at all."

"Yes, I remember. Summer when we were 15. You, me and Anna. In the field behind your houses, getting pissed and and singing loud and vulgar." I smile slightly. "Yes, I remember."

"Twas fun." I chuckle. "God knows what you two got up to when I left. Hot and heavy the both of you were, then."

"We were, yes." I say vaguely, opening my book, but not really looking at it. "And you don't want to know."

"I bet I don't." I say. "I am sorry, Rem. Must have been hard." I say quietly. "What happened."

"You have no idea." I say quietly, face darkening slightly.

"No, you're wrong." I say, hands closing convulsively in my lap. "I have every idea. I know you've blamed yourself for what happened to Anna everyday since it happened. I know you think you did it. And I know you think that I don't know what you are, and that I don't know why you think it's your fault. But you're wrong. I know it's not your fault, I know you didn't do it, I know exactly what you are and I know it's not your fault." I pause a minute, then place my hand lightly on top of his. "You didn't kill her Rem."

"I did." I argue softly. "Everyone says, that it wasn't me, because I didn't have control at the time, but I still am me at the full moon. It's still me. Just without control. I did kill her. It's my fault she's dead. You don't need to lie to make me feel better."

"You don't understand. I mean it really wasn't you, transformed or not." I inist, taking a tighter grip on his hand. "It was my father. He had orders, from the dark lord, he was supposed to kill her. He knew about you. They all do at HQ. You were the perfect one to pin it on."

I lean forward slightly, closer to her, voice low so that only she could hear. "You didn't see her Grace! I was there, her body, it was mutilated. By a werewolf. Not a death eater."

"And you heard the screams in your head." I complete for him. "And you have since then. Every time you lie down to go to sleep, you hear her screaming in your head. Begging you to leave her alone. Trying to tell you, that it was her, remember? Her, Anna, the one you loved. You hear her, every minute of every day, sometimes stronger than others. I know."
I pause again.
"Do you think they can't trick the mind into thinking that? Do you think a death eater can't mutilate a body, make it look like something else? And then plant it to frame someone else? Someone who doesn't know otherwise? They fooled you, they framed you, and you've been punishing yourself for two years for something you didn't do. You didn't kill Anna, they did."

"Why would they do that?" I say quietly. "She never did anything to anyone. Why would they do that?"

"I don't know Rem. I'm still trying to figure that one out. But the point is, you didn't do it. Don't let it bother you anymore."

"How can I not let it bother me?" I ask quietly. "I loved her Grace."

"Oh, I know, Remus." I say, smiling sadly, stroking the side of his face in a reassuring way. "And she loved you. Treasure that."

"Then you're a coward." I say firmly. "And I know you're not a coward."

"No, you're brave, and kind, and gentle, and comforting, and strong, and smart, and the sweetest guy I have ever met." I say softly. "And any girl would be a fool not to fall for you."
