Rule 8: I will stop referring to showering as giving Moaning Myrtle an eyeful.

~~~BB~~~

It was a normal afternoon at Hogwarts. Sirius was getting ready to head off with his girl of the week, James was getting ready to go off with Lily, Peter was getting ready to go of with his girlfriend (yes, surprisingly he can have a relationship!), and Remus was getting ready to go off to his studying.

Remus was always afraid of getting close to the opposite sex. His inner wolf was a constant threat to everyone he loved. He refused to put another person in danger of either death or infection by his hands, well claws. So he refused all offers of company by the many girls attracted to him, for truly, there were plenty of females who liked the brainy werewolf.

"You know what, we need to set you up with somebody fast, Moony," James said. "Pretty soon everyone will start thinking you're not interested in girls."

"Yea right," Remus snorted. "Who would I be interested in, Padfoot?" The two looked at each other and burst into a fit of laughter that went on for a good five minutes.

"Good point, but still, when was the last time you went out with a girl?" James asked after the laughter had died down.

"Well, there was….And there was….And what about …"Moony trailed off, unable to think of anyone.

"Exactly," Sirius smirked. "Even Wormtail over here has a girl. We need to set you up, Remus."

"Hey!" Peter protested. "What do you mean by that?"

"Nothing, Wormy, nothing," James quickly quieted the rat down. "But Remus, there are plenty of girls, what's holding you back?"

"You know what…" Remus said, dejected.

"Remus," Sirius said, suddenly, well, serious. "If the girl really loves you, she won't care about that. Look at James! Lily doesn't care about the fact that he's a massive prat! She accepts him and loves him."

"You know what, we're going to set you up!" James decided. "Me and Sirius have a double date tonight. I'm gonna ask Lily if she and Marlene could bring their friend along. You know, that nice Annie Smith?"

"Isn't she going out with Freddie Chang?" Remus asked, eyebrow raised. He liked Annie, but he really didn't want to go on a date tonight.

"Eh, they're on a break right now. Freddie wants to enter Auror training next year and Annie thinks it's too dangerous. They got into this monster fight, and I'm sure she'll go out with you!" James said.

"Fine," Remus said. "But I have a bad feeling about this."

~~~BB~~~

His bad feeling turned out to be right. The three couples decided to spend a romantic evening picnic by the side of the lake. They got to the spot that the Marauders had picked out and sat down. They had just unwrapped the food when Sirius stood up.

"You know, I don't feel very hungry." James and Remus started choking on their swallows of pumpkin juice. "Would you like to join me in a walk on this fine evening my beautiful Marlene?"

"Why? I'm hungry" Marlene pouted.

"I wanted to show you the new Quidditch move I was talking about," Sirius said, eyebrows waggling. Now Annie and Lily were turning a bright red, but Marlene still didn't get it.

"But you don't have your broomstick!"

"Yes, actually I do. I shrink it and keep it in my pants, but when moments like this come up it grows, waiting to be ridden."

"Ohhh," Marlene said, finally getting it. Everyone else slapped themselves on the forehead. "Sounds good. Can I play Keeper?"

"Sure, I'll be the Quaffle." They left quickly after that much to everyone's relief.

There was an awkward silence before the conversation turned to the upcoming NEWTs. Eventually all the food was eaten and Lily and James went off to do something that Remus didn't want to know about.

"I thought they'd never leave!" Annie exclaimed. "Now kiss me! I haven't been kissed in so long!"

"What, Freddie doesn't kiss you?" Remus asked, bewildered and totally incapable of talking to girls.

"Freddie! Oh, Why does he insist on becoming an auror? I just know he's gonna get himself killed!" Annie started weeping into Remus's shirt. Remus had no idea what to do so he spent the rest of the night holding the sobbing girl until he was eventually rescued by James and Lily several hours later after they had finished whatever they had been doing.

~~~BB~~~

"Women!" Remus Lupin shouted. He was in the prefect's bathroom taking a nice, relaxing shower. He was thinking about the terrible date and decided that he was going to kill James and Sirius for setting him up with such a moody girl.

"Awww, what's wrong with them?" A female voice asked. Suddenly, a ghostly face appeared in Remus's stall. He yelped and scrambled to find something to cover himself. He came up with a loofa. Don't ask why a manly 17 year old had a loofa. It makes him feel pretty.

"What are you doing in here Myrtle?" Remus screamed. "This is the boys' bathroom!"

"Actually it isn't," Myrtle giggled, gazing longingly at Remus's body. "It's the prefects' bathroom, a co-ed bathroom. Besides, it gets lonely in my toilet."

"Well go entertain yourself somewhere else!" Remus screeched. He fled the shower, grabbed a towel and ran the entire way to the Gryffindor common room.

When he told his fellow Marauders of his terrifying experience, they did not feel his pain. They just laughed and laughed.

"Well, it may not have turned out like we thought it would, but it looks like Moony finally found himself a girl," James smirked.

"And an older one at that!" Sirius grinned. "I never knew Myrtle was such a cougar?"

"Do you two have a nice summer toilet picked out?" This was too much for James and he dissolved into fits of laughter, Sirius and Peter close behind him.

"Laugh it up guys, but I'm Sirius, it was disturbing." Remus shuddered.

"No I'm Sirius! And I would never have shower sex with Moaning Myrtle!" Sirius scowled, ignoring his friend's groans at the use of the dreaded pun. "Besides, I like my girls alive and buxom and Gryffindor, thank you very much."

"Whatever," James waved his friend off. "But next time you feel like giving Moaning Myrtle an eyeful, maybe you should do it in a more convenient place….like the girl's bathroom?"

"James Potter!" A Scottish brogue exclaimed from behind Prongs. "I am appalled at your audacity! You and Mr. Black, in my office, now!"

"But, Minnie!" Sirius protested. "I didn't do anything this time!"

"Yet, Black, yet. I know you too well by now to trust you." McGonagall said, an evil glint in her eye. "On your way…"

There you go! I'm not sure if I'll be able to update this week, but it will def be the weekend at the latest.

A cookie to who can figure out who Annie's daughter is!

This didn't out the way I wanted but it's still okay I guess. I was determined to get it up tonight! Please review and tell me if you agree!

Next time I will not insist the house elves serve fried snake to the Slytherins.
