Summary: Remus finds himself in a bit of an awkward spot when all his friends, including Peter,
have dates to the Halloween Ball and he's all alone. Will a friend come to the rescue? And will
it turn out to be more than either of them expects?


Remus sat in the corner with his homework, grumbling about how his friends could be so...
Hormonal. They were all off in different part of Hogwarts ground with their girlfriends no
doubt. Even little Peter had found a girl over in Hufflepuff that liked him. Remus sighed and
when back to the sentences he was supposed to translate for Latin.

"Cur sunt meos amicos malum?" he said to himself.

"All three of them are always like that Remus. Well... James and Sirius have always been that
way for as long as I've know them," said a girl who had just entered the room. She had her
nightgown on and was drying her blonde hair out with a towel.

"I thought malum was bad, not girl-crazy," said Remus. "James and Lily for the moment. Sirius
and that girl from Ravenclaw are probably at the pond. She won't last a week, and Peter and
Kayla. It's crazy Guinivere."

"Malum is bad," she laughed. "And when it comes to Sirius, he's the worse. I still want to
strangle him some night, but I think James sleeps more peacefully," said Guinivere. Remus nodded
slightly. Gwen and Sirius had been a couple for three months and he had dumped her two weeks ago.

"James just worries about his sister. You guys are twins, but you are able to put off not even
being related pretty well. In fact, have you seen the latest issue of the Hogwart's Post from
Rita? Miss Skeeter makes you out to be a scarlet woman once again. How does she do it?"

"Let's forget the little annoying firstie and you can get back to your Latin homework. Call me
if you need some help. I might be deeply immersed in my Muggle Drama work," said Gwen and sat
down in a chair and pulled out a copy of "Romeo and Juliet" and began reading through it.

It wasn't long before Peter came back. He said nothing, but just when up to his dormitory. Short
after him came Sirius and then Lily and James. Lily beamed at Gwen who just gave her one of her
fake smiles and then went back to her book.

"Evening Guinivere," said James and Sirius. Gwen just shoots them a death stare and then smiled
at Remus laughing to himself. "Well be that way then Gwen," said James and followed Peter's lead
up the boys' staircase.

"Jeez, they never stop. I don't think they ever will," commented Remus. "Um... could I get some
help on this Gwen?"

"Sure," replied Gwen, marking her page and walked over and sat next to Remus. She looked over
the sentence and then laughed. "Ego lupum et meus amicius sunt canes!" exclaimed Gwen.

"Well they all are..." replied Remus.

The two sat there talking for another hour before deciding to go to bed. Neither of them even
remembered on important fact.




Tomorrow was Halloween.
