A/N: It's 11:30 at night and I can't sleep. Blame my noisy heater for crappiness.

"Good morning Remus." Came a sugary sweet voice from overhead.

Remus jumped at the sound and opened his eyes, finding Kayla inches away from his face. "Erm. Good morning?"

"Kayla! Get back in your bed! You know not to walk on your feet!" Poppy called from her office. Remus looked down at Kayla's feet, they were a sickly green color and covered in boils.

Kayla must have noticed him looking. "Some Slytherin considered it to be a funny joke. I don't really know why. Madam Pomfrey doesn't know what to do about it because she's never seen much like it."

Remus nodded. It was way more than he wanted to know. "You should probably listen to her." He wanted her out of his face as soon as possible.

"Bah. Who wants to listen to that old lady?" Kayla said.

"She's in her late thirties; that's not exactly old." Remus argued.

Kayla looked injured as she sat down. "Whatever."

Remus ate his breakfast and Madam Pomfrey came out to give him his medicine. "Two more days." She reminded him and returned to her office.

Kayla turned back around. "Can I see that bite on your upper shoulder? It's pretty hot."

Remus shuddered and ignored her. Two more long, long, long days.

James had decided he had been ignoring Nova for too long. So after class he met up with her.

"So what do you want to do?" He asked her.

"Hmm. Let's go out by the lake." She smiled.

They walked down to the rocks and sat on them. "I'm really sorry that I've been so distant lately." James apologized.

"It's fine don't worry about it." She replied, waving off the apology.

James relaxed a bit. Lily was a part of the past. Nova was now. He had to enjoy the time they spent together. They were talking until a cloud blew over and it started to drizzle.

"Damn." James muttered, looking up at the graying sky. James jumped off the rock and Nova followed suit. They ran up the hill until James slipped in mud and slid down.

"James!" Nova called out, laughing. She slipped too and they both ended up in the mud laughing hysterically.

---------

Lily walked triumphantly up to Dany. "His eyes." She told her.

"What?" Dany looked confused.

"You asked what I liked about James, it's his eyes. They're gorgeous."

"Oh wow. 'Gorgeous eyes' that's original." Dany mocked. "That's what everyone says. 'His eyes were the perfect shade of blue, and I could see his sadness hidden inside them.' How can you even see emotion in people's eyes? I've tried, all I've ever seen are just eyes."

"That's not what I mean!" Lily defended. "I just mean they're pretty!"

Dany clicked her tongue. "Everyone's eyes are pretty. Eyes are just pretty organs. And organs do not count for things you like about James. It's like saying 'Wow. I love James' liver. He has such a great liver.'"

"Shut up Winthrope." Lily stalked away. How dare she? Maybe she's just in a crappy mood. Lily washed her hands of the matter and went to go scold a group of third years for breathing.

Lucy was sitting patiently listening to Nova carry on about her time with James. She wanted to sit with her own boyfriend during lunch, but there was no backing out on Nova, unfortunately.

"And then we slipped in the mud and laughed! He has the most wonderful laugh Lucy!" Again with the laughter. Lucy twirled her blonde hair around her finger looking around the room. She noticed Lily and Sirius sitting together. They are the most awkward couple I have ever seen. In fact it was almost suspiciously awkward. They had been dating since the start of school and Lily never looked as if she was truly enjoying dating the hottest male at Hogwarts. She nudged Nova with her foot, making her shut up.

"What is it?" She asked, angry with her for interrupting her story.

"The Sirius/Lily couple seems strangely fake to me. You don't think it's an act do you?" Lucy wondered.

"I don't care if it's false or not. As long as she's not chasing James, I'm fine with it."

"But what if Lily's trying to make James jealous by dating his best mate?" Lucy realized.

"Oh my GOD! Lucy you're absolutely right!" Nova exclaimed, dropping her fork and twisting around in her seat to see the Gryffindor table. "That bitch will not steal my boyfriend if I have anything to say about it."

A/N: Yes, yes. I put some Nova/James fluff in this. But I'm trying to make him a bit less angsty all the freakin' time. Don't eat me. The poor guy needs a break. I have to say Dany sounds a bit like myself up there. I honestly don't see emotion in people's eyes. I've tried and all I see are eyes. Facial expressions show emotion, body language shows emotion, tone of voice shows emotion, but eyes don't. Maybe it's just me. I don't know. Short chapter. I wrote two chapters in the same day! Hooray!
