Ch. 3 Loopy Loony Lupin
The next few days passed in a blur. Sirius and Remus, though not as much, dropped hints as they planned. James would always merely just say he would find someone for Sirius, while Lily all ways went on about how James knew nothing of love. All that went on between Lily and James was shouting and Remus was loosing hope, of the little he had, in Sirius' plan.
In the time that Lily wasn't shouting at James, she was working on breaking Remus out of his shy shell. She had already, cut his hair, rearranged his wardrobe, and was now convincing him to go to the stag New Years Eve dance.
"Please Remus..." Lily looked at him with begging puppy eyes.
"Lils, I don't have a date, and well... I can't dance." Remus admitted, scratching his head with nervousness.
"Look, you're not supposed to have a date and the dancing, well I can teach you." She said patting him on the back lightly.
"Well, uh... darn ok I'll go."
Lily smiled at him, "That's my boy." She gave him a light peck on the cheek and headed to Arithmacy.

Remus arrived at his Ancient Runes class, luckily not running into Sirius. Sirius had already come up to Remus before every class that week to brag about how genius he was. Personally, Remus still had his doubts about the plan.
He sat there during Runes, making a list of the "pros and cons" of Sirius' plan.
Positive: - Happiness of friends. - That's about it.
Negative: -No Peter (not so bad since he doesn't notice me anyway) -Having to act like I like Sirius -Having to lie -Not having as much time to my book
--So now what? I mean, yea the plan thing is fun, but it's till not working fast enough for me. - -
Remus daydreamed about Peter. About him and Peter walking on the beach in the moonlight. About the two sharing a large chocolate milk with two straws, not keeping their eyes off each other. Them falling in love...
Class was over soon enough and Remus found himself walking like a zombie to charms. He hated charms. It was torture for him to sit between Sirius and Peter. Sirius would go on talking about his latest boyfriend, whom changed with the weather, while Peter would completely ignore him. Remus started to doubt himself and by the end of most charms classes, had sunk into depression. But not today, today they were working with partners for a spell project. They would have to master at least one advanced magic spell in the next week.
Remus sat patiently waiting to see who his partner was going to be. Professor Flitwick paired the people at the beginning of the alphabet with those to the end; soon, only Remus was left.
Professor Flitwick said with a squeaky voice, "Mr. Lupin you will go with..."
Sirius burst through the door, "Sorry I'm late professor, had some matters to attain to."
Everyone knew what it was; Sirius had a strong bruise showing up on his right eye and a swollen jaw. He had been fighting with Snape... again.
--Oh great...-- Remus thought.
"Ah perfect timing Mr. Black you can go with Mr. Lupin." The small, midgit- like professor ordered.
Sirius smiled at Remus, "Guess you and me working together again Moony."
"Guess so Padfoot."
A/N: Kind of short chapter I know... but thank you SO much to all the reviewers. Please keep them coming! Also for those of you who are concerned, it WILL NOT be a Remus/Peter fic. I personally think it's creepy... I just made Peter Remus' crush so you can see that Remus is in love with the idea o falling in love, one of his weaknesses one could say!
