A week later things were back to normal, or close enough. Remus was still inclined to send an acidic remark Sirius's way. Lily no longer needed tutoring but she still sat with James while doing Transfiguration homework anyway. They had been working for quite a while now and were deep into an essay for History of Magic on goblins and their cleanliness. Sirius and Rosemerta came in, both grinning broadly about something. Sirius flopped :: literally flopped:: into a chair as Rosemerta grabbed Lily by the arm and led her to the dormitories. "Ow! What? Rosemerta, I really need to finish that essay--" "Oh hush up you can finish sitting by James later-- Sirius asked me out!!!!" Rosmerta said at a high pitched octave. "What? Oh Rosemerta!" Lily knew how much Rosemerta liked Sirius but something was unsettling in the whole thing as she hugged Rosemerta quickly. "Ok, go back and act like nothing I'll come down in a bit. "Lily passed Peter carrying a bucket of water and a mischievous smile in the hallway. When Lily went down to the common room again Sirius was saying something to James, to which James was blatantly disagreeing. "Come on, you know you do-" "No Sirius, how many times do I have to--" "Shhh." Lily sat down as if she hadn't heard. "Hi, Sirius." She muttered. She was still turning it over in her mind that they were together. It gave her a strange feeling. Rosemerta skipped in five minutes later, happy as a silver jubilee. She sat on Sirius's chair arm then promptly fell into his lap. "Hey!" Sirius protested. Rosemerta batted her eyelashes, "What? You don't like me on your lap?" Sirius gave her a Look. "Fine, I'll move a bit for you." James looked up. "Oi! Not in public!" Sirius looked around Rosemerta "Oh and you can tell us what to do?" "Yes, 'cos I'm a prefect, so ha!" James said from lowered brows, Lily snorted. "You're just jealous." Rosmerta said. "Of what?" James countered. "Tuh, you haven't gotten any since that one girl..." "Padfoot--Shut up? Thank you." And James went back to work. For some reason Lily didn't like the idea for Sirius and Rosemerta. She didn't like Sirius, she was sure of that, but she just didn't like it. It gave her a feeling of unease. A high pitched scream jolted her out of her thoughts. James jumped so badly that he upset the ink bottle. Peter came streaking out of the stairs laughing hysterically. Remus came tearing after him, his hair and the front of his robes drenched. "What the hell--" "Get back here you little--you...RAT!" Remus yelled, his robes sticking to him most unpleasantly. As to prove Remus right Peter squeaked and squealed behind James. Remus lunged at Peter only to be caught by James "Calm down-, what did he do?" "The little *thing* threw a bucket of water on me when I was asleep just to get me back for Charms." Remus huffed. His hair was starting to curl at the ends and Lily thought it was a very cute facet of his. Everyone looked to Peter. "You should have seen his face!" He dissolved into squeaky laughter. Remus glared sideways at Peter ::though he was starting to smile:: "You'd yell too if you were splashed with cold water... "Peter contained himself ... then burst. "You didn't! You screamed like a girl!!!! "Even James :: his robes soaked with the water from Remus' robes:: had to worked hard not to smile. "Anyway." Remus interrupted "Anyone know some drying charms?"

A month later and Remus was *sick* again. Lily knew the real reason. Remus had told her not to tell Isabelle, then he admitted that he liked her very much. Lily had agreed of course. He would tell her in his own time. Tonight Lily was relatively alone. "The Marauders" had all gone out, Rosmerta was where ever she was and Isabelle hadn't come back from the Hospital Wing yet. How the girl got splashed with Bubotuber pus was beyond her. Lily sighed and looked out the window. Wonder what Remus thinks 'bout the moon She looked out over the grounds, everything was bathed in milky light-- "I cannot believe that insensitive jerk off!" Lily's peace was shattered by Isabelle's slamming of the door and added ranting. "Now what?" Lily said irritably. "Well, he just snubbed me off! Said he didn't want me-he was too busy--ooh!" Isabelle said, sitting hard on her bed. "Who?" "Remus! Who else?" Isabelle said as though it was obvious. "Oh. You have to know that he has a private life too!" Lily burst out. "I know, it's just the way he said it; like he was scared of me. Wonder where he goes every month? Urgh, going out on a full moon its dangerous. Every sensible person knows that. He could be bitten by a werewolf if he goes into the forest. "Lily winced. too late...
~:^) ok I know this is really really short but I promise you there will be a really long chapter next Sunday. I was just way toooo busy this week. Next Chapter: The net will close in on Remus possibility of some snogging, fights, and a visit to Hagrid. That's all I can think of! Review. Please.
