'James.' He thought. 'Fricking James.'

Remus Lupin blew his shaggy blonde hair out of his face, attempting to ignore his phones bleeping.

He should've known. Should've known better that is, than to explain the world of the internet to his best friend James Potter.

Unlike Remus, who had a muggle mother, James Potter was a pureblood and so when it came to muggle technology he was amusingly clueless. Remus had been given and iPhone by his mother for Christmas and it was one of his prized possessions. So naturally James was obsessed with it too.

Admittedly it was very handy, not having to contact James via owl post whenever he wanted to speak to him, but after a brief explanation by Remus about social networking, James's fiance, Lily had annoyingly illuminated James to other internet uses.

Like dating.

Bloody internet dating.

Both James and Lilly were always getting on Remus's case about his lack of dates, well ones they considered respectable, rather than his one night stands.

But they didn't understand, no one was ever going to want to be serious with a werewolf.

If Remus told a date he was a werewolf he would scare them off before they even got to know him, but if he left it then the lying would wreck whatever relationship they had.

In the past Lily had attempted to set Remus with many people, which he detested. His last blind date had been by far the worst.

He was a friend of Lily's but obviously utterly in love with her.

That would've been bad enough, but the man was obnoxious and rude, especially when Remus had attempted to casually bring up the rights of werewolves. It was safe to say after ten minutes he knew he would not be seeing Severus Snape ever again.

"MOOOONY" came a loud shout from the front door. "Oiy Moony!"

James's bespectacled face appeared from around the door to the hall.

"Ahh, there you are mate" he said with a grin.

"What." Remus replied moodily. "What is it?"

James threw himself onto the worn, deep purple sofa across from Remus's matching armchair, "I came to see how it was going? You know, Grindr" smirking on the last word.

"I hate it, it's bloody awful" Remus replied, rolling his eyes. "So far I haven't found a single attractive person, and I'm getting the creepiest messages."

"Worse than the fetish guy?" James asked, suddenly looking queasy.

Remus simply nodded in return and chucked his phone to James, watching lazily as his friend began to swipe through pictures, before heading to the kitchen.

Just as he was getting two butter beers and some left over chocolate from the fridge Remus heard James shout, 'I've found one!"

"I doubt it!' he replied, searching for a bottle opener while balancing the bottles.

"Don't worry, I've sent him a message!" said James, laughing.

"What?! no! Prongs, you better bloody not have!" Remus yelled, rushing through to the living room, to steal his phone back. "Really? Really Potter? The best you had was 'hi'? That makes me sound fricking dull!"

James laughed in return, opening the bottle between his teeth, "oh come on! At least it wasn't pervy!"

"mm" was all Remus said in reply. He clicked on the picture of the man, who's username was Marauder01, and was pleasantly surprised.

Being straight James was awful at identifying attractive man, but this guy, well wow.

In the picture the man was laughing and facing just behind the camera, his large grey eyes focusing on something happening elsewhere.

In a way he looked similar to James, with dark hair and aristocratic pureblood features, his cheek bones were high and pronounced, and his nose perfectly straight. His skin was very pale, contrasting with both his dark hair, which fell to his shoulders perfectly straight and his surprisingly red full mouth.

"He's ok," he says to James, not wanting him to be right, continuing to stare at the photo.

Just as James was about to reply the phone in Remus's hand bleeps again.

He's surprised to feel butterflies in his stomach at the idea of a reply from this man.

The reply wass from him. It simply said "Hey".

Remus stared at his phone, unsure where to move from here.

Luckly he received another message from Marauder01, this time reading, "thanks for the favourite, you are cute"

Remus growled, with his long blonde hair and huge amber eyes he was often called cute, despite being over 6ft 2. He hated it.

Huffily he tapped back, "I'm certainly not cute, I'm an extremely manly man".

Rapidly Marauder01 replied, "Maybe you show me how much of a man you are…"

Looking up with a grin and grabbing his beer Remus said, "Prongs mate, I do believe I have pulled."
