Auror Camp was pretty much full of missions and severe training classes from then on. Remus, Katy, and Sirius were assigned to Cafeteria duty for the Members of the Order of the Phoenix and other adult Auror Camp members. It was their job from 6-8 PM, to serve dinner trays, wash the dishes, and waitress. Lily and James were assisting with the dueling club by bringing out the scaffold and setting it up for performances. Frank and Alice were left to watch Dorcas and Edgar.
"I hate this you know.." Sirius said scrubbing a dish, Katy smiled slightly "Well you refuse to waitress without being rude so you get dish duty" Katy said simply. "But Katy cant I have a second chance?" Sirius whined, "Fine.. if it stops you from complaining I'll do the dishes" Remus said setting his tray and apron down on the counter walking over to do the dishes. Katy walked over patting Remus' shoulder, "Thanks for that" she muttered then turned with Sirius to continue waitressing. "Did I mention I did it because I know you hate doing the dishes and I dont want to see you upset" Remus whispered looking out to the dining room as Katy waitressed on a table, then went back to doing the dishes. Katy walked back in through the washroom to the kitchen, "Table 6" she said pinning the order up on the spinning machine. "Is that extra cheese?" Fabil the chef asked looking across the silver counter to Katy, "yea.. Pizza.. extra cheese.. 3 slices thanks Fab" Katy said giving him a thumbs up and headed back out to clear off a table. When she came back she reached around Remus setting the dishes in the soapy water of the sink. "Please dont hate me.." Remus whispered turning so his head met her's and kissed her gently. The kiss was so short and sweet Katy didnt have time to react, just stood there wide eyed. "Order up! Table 6!" Fabil called, without saying anything Katy walked off to retrieve the order.
By the time they were wiping down tables after dinner, Sirius was lagging while Katy was making up for his missed energy. "Why are you so.. jumpy?" Sirius asked perking a brow, "I'm not jumpy" Katy responded quickly, "Right and the tortoise really did beat the hare" Sirius said sarcastically. "He actually did.." Remus responded cooly walking out from the kitchen, his apron drapped over his arm. "Want me to clock all of us out?" Remus asked. Sirius handed Remus his card, "You go ahead.. I'll catch up later" Katy said when the other two looked to her. Sirius shrugged as he followed Remus out, Katy still mopping up tables. "Whats up her ass?" Sirius asked as they left. "I kissed her.." Remus said staring at the ground as they walked side by side. "You did What?!" Sirius asked loudly, Remus clapped a hand over his mouth "I kissed her.. and she walked off.. hasnt wanted to be near me since!" Remus muttered as he dropped his hand heading back to camp, Sirius behind him. "I'm going to turn in early tonight" Remus said when the guys looked up seeing him walk up and went in his tent zipping it up. "He kissed Katy" Sirius explained shortly. So the guys talked about how to get Remus and Katy together, Remus in his tent curled up on his side, tears streaming silently down his face.
Katy walked back to the girls camp, "I'm going to sleep early tonight okay?" she said, Lily and Alice nodded in unison whispering quietly to themselves. Katy curled up in her tent staring at the old scars on her wrist, then rolled over laying on her back staring up through the plastic window at the top of the tent to see the stars glimmering. "Remus is under the same sky" she whispered laying a hand over her heart closing her eyes as the tears began to fall.
The next day, Lily was working with James to set up the scaffold for the practice. "So any idea whats up with Katy.. I mean she came back and went in her tent and we heard her sobbing" Lily said, James looked up at her suddenly "Remus kissed her.. and she walked away afterwards and has been avoiding him since" he explained. Lily nodded "She's pretty upset by it.. Dorcas heard her whining in her sleep.." she said. "Lils.. dont worry about it.. me and Sirius will take care of that situation" James said walking over and patting Lily on the shoulder in a reassuring manner. Lily smiled "Thank you James.." she muttered.
