"Remus? Where are you Remy?"
A few hours later, the castle saw three worried boys and a red headed girl looking for their best mate.
"James, where do you think he could have gone?"
"I don't know Lily. But I'm worried for him. He could have gotten lost somewhere."
"Has anyone checked the kitchen? Or the ROR?"
"Good idea peter. Let's head down to the kitchens first."
"Guys wait. I've got a better idea."
"FLIPSY!"
"Flipsy? Isn't she your house elf?"
"Yeps Lils. And she loves Remus the most. She's kind of adopted him, really. If anyone could find him, it's her."
A pop. "Master Jamesy. What can Flipsy be doing for you?"
James crouched down on his knee. "Flipsy. We cannot find Remus. We were kind of hoping you could help us a bit."
"What happened to Master Remy? Is he hurt?"
"We don't know Flipsy. But we're very concerned for him. It's 1'o clock. We need to find him. Is there any way you could find him for us?"
"In a minute master Jamesy. Flipsy be coming right back with Master Remy."
She disappeared with a loid pop and returned two minutes later with an asleep Remus with her. He had chocolate smeared on his lips and an unopened chocolate bar in his hand.
"He be passed out in the kitchens with icecream and chocolate around him. The house elfs be sleeping so not one of them saw him there."
"Thank you Flipsy. We'll take him to the dorms with us."
"No need Master Jamesy. Call me when he wakes up." And she disappeared with a pop.
They levitate a still asleep Remus to their dorm room and Lily tucks him in.
"Goodnight Lils."
"Goodnight James. See you in the morning." They kiss and Lily leaves the dorm.
"Well Padfoot. Time to sleep."
"What I don't get a goodnight kiss?"
"Shut up Paddy. Go to sleep." James rolls his eyes.
"Aaaallllrightyyy Prongsy. Catch ya in the morno. Have a fun sleeepooo!"
"Just go to sleep you moron!"
James was getting out of the shower when he spotted Remus getting up.
"Good morning Remus. seems like you had a nice sleep? Whereas we were up till 1 searching for you."
"James, I..."
"What was that? Didn't quite catch it."
"James. I-I-I-I am Sorry. I didn't mean to worry you all. I'm Very sorry. It won't happen again. I promise."
"It's alright Moony. Just don't disappear on us again."
"Yes Remus. We're here to help you whatever the problem is. Please come to us before running off like this okay?"
"Yes Paddy. I'll come to you guys first."
And then suddenly Sirius ponces on Remus and James and Peter too join in a minute later in the group hug.
"We gotta get ready. We're all late for breakfast and its transfiguration first thing."
"Aye Aye Captain."
"Shut up Paddy."
A few minutes later, all of them are ready and leave the dorms. they run into Lily in the common room. Remus stops seeing her as she is standing with a furious expression and her hands on her waist.
"REMUS JOHN LUPIN! Whatever is the meaning of this. DO YOU HAVE ANY SENSE AT ALL?"
"I'm sorry Lily. I'm so sorry. It won't happen again. I swear."
Lily glares at him for a minute and then relents. "Oh fine. DOn't let it happen again."
"Yes Lily. Never again."
"Let's go Lily. We're getting late."
James takes her hand and they finally leave.
"Impressive Red. Quite some temper you have. Be safe Prongsy."
Lily smacks him on the back of the head. "Shut up Sirius."
"OW."
