Remus felt very conflicted.

He didn't know whether to be giddy (even though that wasn't a very masculine word) that Hermione had thought of him and gotten him Honeydukes dark chocolate or bothered that Sirius and James had gotten gifts as well.

He wouldn't say he was jealous of his best friends but he knew he felt some type of way when Sirius lifted the laughing witch and twirled her around the Common Room. And how James had smiled for the first time despite their earlier attempts at cheering him up.

But then a wave of guilt would smother him whenever he remembered the reason why James was down so Remus buried the feeling. He wouldn't let his feelingsNOTjealousy overtake him.

"Did you enjoy Hogsmeade Hermione?" He asked and found himself blushing when she settled herself on the arm of the chair he was in.

"Oui! It waz so quaint and charming!" She said breathlessly and Remus swallowed as his mind supplied images of other activities that would make her breathless. A hint of spiciness and musk hit his sensitive nose and Remus' eyes connected with Sirius who was focused on Hermione's lips.

Seems he wasn't the only one affected.


Oh dear I wonder what conflict I've started? Faster/more you guys review, the faster I put drabbles out!
