"What are you doing?" Remus asked, peering over the arm of the chair and down at the top of Peter's dirty blonde hair.
"Radio," Peter mumbled. "My dad gave it to me. I thought I could try and see if I could pick up muggle radio stuff like what you and Lily like to listen to."
Remus moved so his legs were no longer thrown over the opposite arm and sat up, resting his elbow on the arm to watch Peter play with the buttons, his wand sparking every few seconds. A few chords of a song, possibly by Celestina Warbeck was heard and than static.
"Would you like help?" Remus asked.
"No!" Peter said loudly. Several nearby students looked at him and he muttered and scooted back a bit so that Remus's chair was blocking him from view. "I want to do it on my own."
"All right," Remus said slowly and then he jumped as a rather loud piano solo erupted from the radio and Peter cried out triumphantly.
"What on earth are you doing?" Sirius demanded as John Lennon's voice filled the common room. He was sitting near the fire, looking over his notes for tomorrow's O.W.L.
"Peter's just picked up a muggle radio station," Remus said casually.
"By himself?" James asked from where he was sitting, playing with the snitch from this morning and looking sullen.
Remus smirked.
"Yes. All by himself."
