James cracked up the moment Kitty left the room which caused Sirius to scowl at him. The laughter seemed to be infectious because Lily started to giggle and even Peter smiled (But quickly stopped smiling the moment Sirius turned his glare on him.)

"I wonder who that girl was," Lily said thoughtfully "I've never seen her around here before"

"So do I" Sirius said smirking

"Give it up Sirius she's so not into you," James said, amusement dancing on his face.

"She's just playing hard to get, women do it all the time. Not that you'd know James considering Lily is one of the only girls you've ever dated and she didn't even dig you for like 3 years" Sirius responded none to playfully. That moment a group of Hufflepuff girls walked by their table.

"Hi James" One of them with long brown hair and blue eyes cooed. James smiled at the pretty girl as Lily scowled and smacked him in the arm.

"Oh yah Sirius no one ever looks at James" Remus said sarcastically.

"You be quiet!" Sirius snapped back a little too loudly and a little too harshly. Everyone at the Gryffindore table quieted down and glanced over at Sirius and Remus.

"Jealous?" Remus said almost tauntingly. Peter gulped, Lily gasped, and James dropped his for with a 'clatter.' Remus never stood up for himself, especially against Sirius bossy tendencies. James usually took care of that for him.

"Jealous? Of you?" Sirius said with a forced laugh "What do you have that I could ever want? Books? A nice little corner by the fire where I can spend all my time studying and never living? Or perhaps you're more proud of your other 'special' characteristics." Sirius said referring to the fact he was a werewolf. "No, I think I like my life just fine"

"Kitty Harlow" Remus said boldly

"Excuse me?" Sirius answered

"I also have Kitty Harlow"

"How do you know that's her last name?" Sirius questioned

"Her bracelet, 'Kitty Harlow' was engraved in it. Or were you to busy staring at other parts of her body to notice?" Remus inquired, cocking an eyebrow. Sirius sputtered angrily at him and sped off.

"Remus!" James said angrily

"I know I was out of line" Remus said already regretting his outburst of courage.

"No it's not that, it's the fact I've been sticking up for you since first year and never once did I know you had the courage to stand up for yourself, next time I'm leaving it all up to you and taking a break." James grinned at him and slapped him on the back. He then strode after Sirius with Lily on his heels.

"Remus that was amazing" Peter said in awe

"Nothing to it Pete" Remus answered smiling sheepishly at the younger boy "Sirius needs to be told how it is once and a while or else his ego will inflate his head up to orbit." And with that Remus left the room as well leaving Peter to try and figure out what he had just said.

"Remus right?" Remus looked up from his Potions essay to see Kitty Harlow standing over him, her dark curly hair hanging in her face.

"Right" he said as she pulled up a chair "And you Kitty, Kitty Harlow if I'm correct"

"Now how did you know that" She asked, sitting down "Took one look at me in the caff. This morning and couldn't help but find out everything about me?" She joked.

"Oh yes I felt this uncontrollable urge to run to the head's office and pull out your file, I now know everything about you, come on ask me anything" Remus joked right back. He wondered if this could be considered flirting but wasn't sure since he had not flirted much in his day.

"Ok, what's my favorite color?" Kitty asked. Remus looked at her red baby T and her skin tight black jeans with the red flames licking up the pant leg.

"Red" He guessed pretty sure of himself.

"EEEH Wrong" Kitty exclaimed, imitating a buzzer noise. "It's green, sorry thanks for playing."

"Oh give me one more chance!" Remus begged as Kitty started to laugh. Her laugh sounded like silver chimes twinkling together.

"Ok one more chance, which school do you think I transferred from?"

"Ummm that one in France?" Remus guessed pathetically

"Ok I was shooting for the name of the school but that'll do, yes the one in France."

"You don't have a French accent" Remus accused

"I said that I went to school there, I never said I was born there." It was then Remus noticed she had a faint French accent. Nothing major, just the way she pronounced some of her words gave away she had spent a few years of her life there.

"Time for the triple bonus round" Kitty said getting on with the game. "If you think you know me so well, what house was I sorted into?"

"Well...." Remus started taking a moment to think. "You seem too nice to be in Slytherin yet to rebellious to be in Hufflepuff. You seem adventurous and that would definitely land you in Gryffindore but you don't seem stupid and that might land you in Ravenclaw....I'm going to say Ravenclaw."

"Trick question: I haven't been sorted yet" Kitty laughed her musical laugh again and continued "I am to be sorted later, we'll see then if your prediction is correct. Until then it's a weekend and I'm new and don't know anybody, would you mind showing me around?" Kitty asked hopefully.

"Why not" Remus said rolling up his scroll. "I can always finish this later." And the two walked out of the library together, not unseen by Sirius Black who was also doing his potions essay a few tables back.

"Let the games begin Lupin" He said with a devilish smile.
