Remus groaned as sunlight fell on his face. Ah yes, the joys of waking up in the morning. He rolled over and pulled the blanket on his face. Moments later, he regretting his habit of sleeping without his blankets covering his feet.

There was something warm and wet going at them. Peering at the end of the bed, he saw Padfoot licking at his toes. After a moment, the dog looked up and grinned. It then turned into the image of his good friend and crush.

"Wake up!" Sirius yelled, jumping onto Remus' bed. "We've got a Hogsmeade visit!"

"What difference does it make to you?" Remus asked.

Just yesterday, Sirius had received a note. Not just any note. The blonde haired jerk-off had actually asked him out on a date. And the only date that was ever possible to any of the students was the few Hogsmeade visits a year. Which meant that this time, Sirius wasn't going to be joining them.

"Come ooon," Sirius whined. "You can at least eat breakfast with me!"

"I'll tell you what," Remus said, still groggy and tired-eyed. "You go down, and I'll meet you when I'm ready."

"You aren't going back to sleep are you?" Sirius asked, warily.

"No, I promise I'm not going back to sleep."

"Okay!" Sirius jumped off Remus' bed and towards the door. "I'll meet you down there!"

Remus groaned and kicked the blankets off. The stone floor was cold, and Remus didn't have slippers. Slowly he made his way toward the showers. He nearly ran into James at the door.

"My, aren't we looking cheery this morning," James commented with a grin.

Remus gave him a rude hand gesture.

"I just got woken up by Padfoot all but sucking on my toes," Remus deadpanned. "It's a sad existence, when the only way one is able to relieve one's desires by wanking off in the showers."

With that, Remus slammed the door shut behind him.

Within half an hour, Remus had finally gotten dressed and down to the Great Hall. Sirius was on the edge of his seat, and James was rolling his eyes. Remus wondered for a moment how come James didn't understand that it was how his friends felt and the mention of Lily Evans' name. Peter, on the other hand, was looking happily oblivious, and was chatting happily to James about Zonko's.

As they were heading out the door, Remus was pulled to the side. He looked around at the owner of the hand, and saw a flash of red hair.

"Hey there, Red," he said, giving a small smile.

"You're upset," she said, looking worried. "Has something happened? Or is Prince Charming still clueless?"

"It's nothing," he said. "Just that he's on a date with Micheal Poloque."

She studied Remus for a moment, before a look of realization came on her face. "Isn't he that Ravenclaw that can't keep his pants on for five minutes?"

"Yeah."

"God," she groaned, rolling her eyes. "If you want my opinion, they suit each other."

Remus gave another small, sad smile as she walked away. Her and James would have made a great couple. If only the latter wasn't such a dope and the former would give said dope a real chance.
