Remus swimming nearby with Sirius and James all three watching Katy, James smiled "So Katy getting a little too touchy feely huh Moony?" James asked grinning. "James it wasnt like that at all dont read so much into it" Remus said hopping up onto the floating dock in the middle his feet swinging in the water. "Aww Moony.. but look at her" Sirius said hopping up beside Remus, "The way her auburn hair glistens in the sun, the way she humors the little girl and Dorcas admires her for it, the way she's always sensitive yet tough at the same time, the way she wont let you see her cry when you hurt her.. but when anyone else does its fine.. the way she's a girl yet she's like one of us, she pranks, gets good grades, and can be friends with everyone, the way when she smiles.." Sirius began, "The dimple on her left cheek doesnt show, but only shows when she laughs.." Remus muttered. Sirius looked to him, "I was going to say she always looks directly at the person making her happy.. and when she smiles it lights up everyone around her's day as well" Sirius said shrugging. Remus sighed, "Guys just let it go" he muttered diving into the water and swimming over to Frank, Alice, Lily, Dorcas and Katy. "Where'd Edgar go?" Remus asked, "He's on shore.. he's afraid of swimming" Lily explained, Remus sighed and swam towards shore, to see a boy in swim shorts sitting on the bench. "Now you look like me.." Remus said looking to Edgar who smiled slightly. "Why arent you swimming?" Remus asked kneeling before the boy. "I cant swim.." Edgar said shrugging. "Everyone can swim.. and if you cant.. theres water wings" Remus said conjuring a pair, as well as a boogie board. "They'll laugh at me" Edgar said. "But you'll be laughing too because you're having fun and not letting your quote 'disability' end-quote get you down" Remus explained. Edgar shrugged "I never looked at it that way.. thanks Remus" Edgar said standing up as Remus helped him put on the water wings and grabbed the boogie board swimming out with Remus by his side. "Hey Edgar" Katy and Lily said smiling to the younger boy. "So you've decided to join us?" Alice asked. "Yea.. I cant swim but Remus helped me" Edgar said, "Thats very nice of you Moony" Katy said nodding to Remus, who shrugged "hey what else could I do let the boy swelter while we're here in the nice cool water? I think not!" Remus said fakely, Edgar laughed "Remy's a fun man" he said smiling. "Yes.. And Remus is going to beat Edgar to the other side of the lake too" Remus challenged, "Nu Uh" Edgar said and took of swimming, Remus after him letting him win. "Darn man you kicked my butt!" Remus said as they swam back over to the floating dock, Remus helping Edgar on and then hopping on himself. "Yea well it just shows I'm good" Edgar said smiling. "Yea Man you tell him" James said, "Stand up and yell.. I'M THE KING OF THE LAKE" Sirius said nudging Edgar who laughed but stood up, Remus making sure he didnt fall as he held his hands in the air "I AM THE KING OF THE LAKE!" he hollared. "Woo Go Edgar its your birthday!" Katy called laughing, Lily smiled then fakely curstied to Edgar who grinned.
"You guys were serious goofballs" Harry said laughing, Remus smiled "I remember that day well.." he said simply. Harry smiled and went back to reading..
