"You WHAT?!" Harry exclaimed.
Remus decided it would be best if he did not mention how like his father he looked, or how like his mother he sounded. "I lost it." He muttered, looking at his feet.
"You lost the Map. You lost the Map. You lost the Map!!!"
"Yes. I lost the Map."
"How could you lose it?! Who could have been in here and taken it?!"
Remus heard something, and gestured for Harry to be quiet. Both of them listened hard.
"Ginny?" Adeline called, frowning and trying not to let the thoughts in.
"Yes, Adeline?" Ginny asked, turning around.
"Do you know a Moony, Padfoot, Wormtail and Prongs?"
"Er…"
"It's just they keep on arguing over which charms to put on this piece of parchment. It's really quite amusing. Every few minutes Prongs loses track of the argument when Padfoot teases him about…'his red–haired jade'. Not sure who that is, but Prongs is very flustered about it."
"Uh…yes, yes I do know a Moony. And a Padfoot. And a Wormtail. But I never met Prongs. Harry did, though."
"Oh. Good. Could you give this to one of them? It's their's, you see. Not sure exactly how it ended up in my room, but it did."
"Sure." Ginny stretched out her hand, and was about to take the piece of parchment, when the door next to Adeline opened. Adeline caught sight of the office inside and had to stop herself from gasping in shock.
It was the office that she'd seen in her dream. It was then that she remembered, all in a rush, where exactly this piece of parchment had come from. It had come from the office. She'd been looking at it before she woke up. That meant she'd not been dreaming. It also meant that she had a new power, astral projection. The person that stepped out of the office made her whole face flush a brilliant red colour, and she felt sure that it had travelled all the way down her neck.
"Adeline, are you ok?" Ginny asked, looking concerned.
"Fine." Adeline mumbled, looking down at the ground.
Ginny looked towards the office, and obviously saw Remus walking out. For some reason, the atmosphere became a whole lot warmer once Ginny'd seen him. "Oh, hello, Professor." She said brightly, "Adeline's found your map."
Adeline held out the map, and Remus took it. It was then that Adeline remembered Harry calling Remus 'Moony'.
"Thank you, Ginny," Remus said, smiling at her. He turned around, and stuck his head back in his office, "Here you are, Harry," He said, "I told you it wasn't anything to worry about." He ducked out of the room, as a book flew out. "Be careful!" He hollered, "Your mum gave me that one."
Harry walked out, and hit him upside the head. "Honestly." He huffed.
Ginny giggled. "You have no idea how much you sounded like Hermione just then." She said. Harry glared at her, and she held up her hands in mock apology. "Ok, ok, I'm sorry," She said, "Jeez, who broke your broomstick?"
"Sorry, Ginny," He sighed, and rubbed one hand through his hair, "I'm angry with Moony, not with you."
"Hey!" Remus had a look of mock-hurt on his face, "Don't talk about me like I'm not here."
"So sorry to have offended your delicate feelings." Adeline teased, forgetting where she'd heard those words before. She looked up at him, then went red and had to look down. But not before she'd caught him poking his tongue out at her.
"Oh, look at the time." Ginny said suddenly, "I have to go and get ready for my next class."
"Allow me to walk you to the Tower." Harry offered.
Ginny grinned. "I'd like that."
Adeline smiled slightly at the way they were looking at each other. "Oh I've gotta paint that." She whispered. She whipped out her notebook from her bag and began sketching. By the time they'd looked away and began walking off she'd gotten the basic outline and was working on everything else.
"What are you doing?" Remus asked, walking over and taking a peek. He whistled. "Wow, you're really good."
Adeline blushed…again. "Thanks," She said, "I've always loved drawing, and when I see things like that I can't help but want to draw them. This is the third picture I've drawn of Harry."
"Can I see the others?" Remus asked.
"Sure. They're in my room, if you want to have a look." Adeline offered. She didn't think he would take her up on it, her drawings weren't that good, he was probably just trying to be polite.
"Great. Now, or do you have a class?"
"Er…yes, I do. Perhaps tonight, after dinner?" Adeline felt strangely breathless.
"I'll look forward to it." Remus smiled. "Well, I've got to get going, see you later."
Adeline nodded, and headed back to her classroom, slightly out of breath.
AN: Ok, if no one knows who's gonna be romancing Adeline I'm gonna get very upset.
Reviewer Response: Glad you liked it, too busy to give mentions atm. Sorry.
