Chapter 6: Katie

Remus Lupin was sitting on a sofa working on his homework when a blonde haired girl joined him with bright blue eyes. She flipped her hair and batted her eyelashes.

"Hello Remus." She said in a high pitched voice.

"Er... hello..."Remus said.

"Don't you recognize me?" the girl asked a little hurt.

"No, Sorry" Remus said a little nervous.

"I'm Katie, Katie Green." Katie said.

"Uh... Okay?" Remus said. What is this girl doing? He had never seen her before in his life and now she was flirting with him as if she was his girlfriend. 'I'm only 11.' He thought. 'That is a little to young to be thinking about girls.' Then he thought of James and Sirius who were always flirting with girls. At the moment James and Sirius were trying to figure out who had pulled that prank on them, even though that was almost three months ago. Remus had an idea who it was but he had no proof. Remus sighed. Two months util they caught the train back to Kings Cross Station. That seemed like a long ways away. Katie scooted closer to Remus so now their shoulders were touching. Remus stiffened. He was becoming very comfortable. 'Someone come please help me!!" Remus thought silently. At that very moment Lily walked down the stairs.

"Hey Remus, Katie." Lily said. "I forgot my textbook." She raised an eyebrow when she saw that Katie was now practically on Remus' lap. 'Help me' He mouthed at her, Lily tried hard to keep a straight face.

"What do you want Evans?" Katie asked flipping her hair. Lily smiled.

"Well I was wondering if Remus was still accompanying Kelly and me to the kitchen to get some food and then studying for the exams?" Remus quickly caught on.

"Of course I am!" He said smiling at Lily.

"But I thought you forgot you're textbook? You are trying to get rid of me aren't you?" Katie pouted.

"No, but Remus did promise." Lily said getting impatient. This girl was not as stupid as Lily though she was.

"You don't want to go, do you Remus?" Katie purred.

"Actually I do. At the moment I am quite hungry."

"But dinner is in an hour!" Katie protested.

"So? If we get some food and bring it back here then we will have more time to study for the exams." Lily pointed out. Katie pouted.

"But the exams are two months away!" She complained.

"All the more reason to study."

"Oh fine!" Katie said then left.

"Thank you!" Remus said leaping up and hugging Lily.

"It was no problem. Now how about we go get Kelly and go to the kitchen. You did promise." Lily reminded him as she grabbed here textbook. "We'll meet you here in 2 minutes."

"Do you even know how to get to the kitchens?" He called to Lily's retreating form.

"No, but I know you do." Lily said over her shoulder as she walked up to the girls' dorm. "Hey Kelly, ready to go?" Lily said looking at Katie.

"Er... yea?" Kelly said not really sure about what was going on.

"Then come on!" Lily dragged Kelly out of the dorm and down to the common room.

"Where are we going?" Kelly hissed.

"To the kitchens with Remus." Lily whispered as they walked over to Remus.

"Hey Kelly." Remus said smiling at her.

"Hello Remus!" Kelly said.

"Ready?" He asked the two girls offering each of them one of his arms. Lily took one arm and Kelly the other.

"Yep!" lily repiled and the three of them were on their way.
