Remus looked up as somebody sat on one of the armchairs across from his couch. A girl with auburn hair and leaf-green eyes looked across at him, and started taking out her books.

"Hey there, Evans," he said, smiling.

"Hey there, Lupin," she said, smiling again. "What's up?"

"Hm? Oh, homework." Remus gestured to the notes spread across the table and the parchment he was currently writing on.

"Remus." Remus looked up, to see Lily looking at him worriedly. "What's wrong? Something's on you mind."

"Oh, it's nothing."

"Remus."

"Well," Remus said. After a moment's pause, he continued. "See, one of my friends is gay—"

"It's James," Lily said immediately. "Please, please, please tell me that James has suddenly, inexplicably, randomly realized that he's gay."

After a few moments, Remus was able to stop laughing. "No. It's Sirius, and—"

"Sirius? You can't be---er---," she paused for a moment, trying to weasel around an over-used pun. "You must be joking. Martha's going to die when she finds out—,"

"Actually," Remus interrupted loudly, "he's bi. But right now it's about the same thing."

"What're the chances of that? Two guys in the same dorm swinging both ways?"

"90 percent of all werewolves are bisexual, remember? And Sirius is just a pervert, so…." Remus said. "Anyway, I think he likes me."

"Remus," Lily said, looking down her nose. "One: 'I think he likes me'? Are we in kindergarten? Two: if you like each other, you should say something. Three: I don't think you should 'go out' with him. There are a million other better people in the world. He's a dick! I don't see why you hang out with him and Potter anyway."

"Lily, they really are good people, it's just--,"

"I don't want to hear it."

"--James is always trying to make himself look good when you're around. I know he's failing miserably, but………don't look down your nose too much."

Lily sighed. "Fine. If you like Black, go ahead and make it known to him. Do whatever you want. But please don't try to play matchmaker with me and Potter. It won't work."

She got up and left, leaving Remus feeling embarrassed about his latest attempt at helping his friend.
