Lily was on a mission, Remus could tell. Her eyes had gone wide and bright, her fingers drumming on the old, wooden table as her mind came up with a plan, fixing all the pieces together in a puzzle. Remus regretted telling Lily immediately -not that she wouldn't have found out soon enough anyway, what with her all-seeing eyes. He didn't really mind that Lily knew, it was more that she would do something about it.

See, Remus had developed a crush on Sirius Black since third year. Not only were they both boys -something the wizarding and muggle world would shame them for- but Sirius was one of his best friends since the train ride to Hogwarts, Also, Sirius was straight, or at least that's what Remus thought. Sirius never really mentioned what gender he preferred, he mainly stayed away from anyone wanting to have a relationship or a 'thing' with him. But even if Sirius liked guys he would never go out with Remus, the poor werewolf who only got accepted into Hogwarts out of pity.

"You did not get accepted out of pity and you know it." Lily's voice brought Remus out of his reverie. This only made Remus realise he had said the last part out loud, and quickly looked around to see if anyone had heard, but nobody was around the library on one of the last sunny days Hogwarts would be seeing for a while.

"Lily, please just don't do anything." Remus pleaded.

"I won't do anything yet, as in right this minute, mainly because I need the last part for it to work, but I can't promise anything."

"Lily!" Remus dragged out the name. "At least promise you won't get any of us in any danger, please?"

"Don't worry, I've got a plan. It won't get anyone in any danger. By the way, what hand would you be more upset to have ripped off?"

"My right han- wait, why?! I thought you said no danger, I would say hands getting ripped off was dangerous or at least something dangerous was happening. Please don't rip off my hand."

"I'm not going to make you lose your hand," I hope, Lily thought, "It's just hypothetical."

And with that she stood up, grabbing her bag and books from the table, spun around and left the library. With nothing else to do, Remus also left at a more sedated pace, keeping his hands hidden incase Lily were to jump out and sever his hands.
