The next morning, Sirius, Peter, and James left for breakfast late as usual. Remus, always an early riser, was never around when they woke up. Nobody really knew where he went before breakfast, but everyday upon entering the Great Hall, he would be where he always was, at his usual seat at the Gryffindor table, saving spots on either side of him for his friends. Usually, he would be reading, a typical Remus-pastime. But today, something was different. Sirius noticed first.
"Hey.hey Prongs." Sirius poked James, who had been laughing about something with Peter.
"Ouch! What?"
"Look at Moony." Sirius said with smirk. Remus was sitting without a book, elbows on the table, head in his hands. James followed his gaze and was not surprised. It lead straight to a certain curly blonde haired 7th year girl with gray-blue eyes not unlike Sirius's, chatting and laughing with her friends at the Ravenclaw table.
"Ah," said James, "Felicity Robinson." The three went and sat down beside Remus. He didn't even notice. James waved his hand in front of his face. "Earth to Moony!" Remus jumped in his seat. He looked nervous.
"How long have you been sitting here?"
"Long enough to finally see your object of affection," laughed James, "and damn, Moony, what a good pick! She is fine!"
"Yeah.I know."
"Well.are you gonna go talk to her?"
"What? No!"
"Oh come on Remus! Since when have you been so shy?" asked Sirius sarcastically. Love struck Remus didn't pick up on it.
"I don't know.she doesn't even know who I am."
"Just go say hi before she has to go to class!"
"You really think I should?"
"GO!" said Sirius and James together, pushing Remus off his seat. Remus sighed, and headed off towards the Ravenclaw table.
"Go Moony, Go Moony, Go Moony, HEY!" Sirius sang until James slapped him upside the head.
"Shut up! Watch him."

As Remus walked towards Felicity, he could feel his stomach tighten up. Why was he was so nervous? She was just an ordinary girl.
"Hi, Felicity." He could feel the eyes of everyone around her on him. She turned from facing one of her friends to him. A smile spread across her face.
"Hi Remus!" He was surprised she knew who he was, forgetting for the moment that everyone in the school knew of him and his three friends.
"You know who I am?"
"Of course.you're one of the Marauders aren't you?" She smiled. God, she has a beautiful smile, thought Remus.
"Oh.well.yea." He smiled back. Just then the bell rang. Felicity's face fell.
"Mind if I walk you to class?" Remus asked. Whoa, he thought, where did that come from.
"I'd love you too!" She was smiling once again. "One second, I need to get my bag." As she bent down to get her bag from under the table, Remus flashed his friends the thumbs up sign.
"WAY TO GO MOONY!!!" Sirius yelled as he punched the air, but Remus couldn't hear him over the roar of students getting up from their seats and leaving the Great Hall.
"Ok, all set!" Felicity proclaimed as she threw her bag over her shoulder.
"Where is your next class?"
"Potions.you don't have to come all the way to the Dungeons if you don't want."
"No, its fine! I have Defense Against the Dark Arts.I'm down there anyway." He said with a smile. "So, how was your weekend?"
"Good! You know, I was rooting for Gryffindor to win the match, even though it would've been better for Ravenclaw had it gone the other way." Felicity said.
"Why was that?"
"Well, I'd rather see you guys in the final.you, James Potter, and Sirius Black make the matches much more entertaining!
"I'll have to tell them they're putting on a good show."
"That was an excellent goal you made, towards the end of the game."
"Thanks! Couldn't have done it if Sirius hadn't sent that bludger at Jenkins though." Remus laughed. "I really thought he was going to fall off his broom after that hit!" Felicity smiled at him. She had always thought that gang of Gryffindor 6th years was adorable, but she'd her stories about them being arrogant and obnoxious. However, Remus seemed to be one of the most down to earth people she had ever met.
"Well, here we are. I'll see you around, Remus." Felicity said as she went to open the door to the Potions room.
"Wait, Felicity."
"Yes?"
"Would you like to come to Hogsmeade with me this weekend?" Felicity looked somewhat surprised. Remus was surprised he'd actually been able to ask her.
"Oh.I'd love to Remus!" she said with a smile.
"Ok.I'll see you then!"
"Bye!" Remus turned and walked quickly towards the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom. He was going to be late if he didn't hurry. He made it just in time, and took his usual seat in the back corner of the classroom. Peter sat in front of him, Sirius sat to his left, and James at in front of Sirius. They all turned around as soon as he sat down. Remus prepared for the barrage of questions.
"Well? How did it go?!" Sirius asked impatiently. Remus let out a sigh of relief.
"She's coming to Hogsmeade with me this weekend." James's eyes got wide.
"ALRIGHT MOONY!" Sirius shouted, forgetting he was in class, and earning a deduction of 5 points from Gryffindor. But as soon as Professor Reed turned his back once again, the conversation was started once more.
"Jeez, Moony. How come it's so easy for you to get the girl you want?! If only Lily were that cooperative.and Felicity is a seventh year for cryin' out loud!" The other three laughed quietly. "Lily" and "Cooperative" weren't exactly words that you heard together very often. Especially from James.
