AN: Another day, another hell o' an update. Looking forward to typing today, hopefully I'll have three chapters out by tonight. Yet again, loved all the reviews…they really put a smile on my face when I see them. For the next few chapters there will be a lot of Sirius (both young and old) so all you Sirius lovers have something to look forward to!

Still re-reading POA, taking forever (mind you I'm taking notes and making a time-line of sorts at the same time). So we will, in the next present day chapter have some exciting happenings! Yay!

Yet again, all my reviewers, you are really what drives me to write so fast. And, on a sad note before I write, I would just like to say rest in peace to Rodney Dangerfield. The world lost an incredible comedian and he will be missed.

And now, on with the chapter.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Chapter Fifteen

(October. 30th, 1976)

Kit awoke well rested, with only a slight cramp in her neck from the position she had been sleeping in the night before. The only thing that was interesting about how she woke up, was the fact when she did awake…well, she most obviously wasn't in her four poster bed, or in the common room. She sat up rather fast, throwing the covers off of her, wide eyes looking around the room in slight panic.

It was in this moment she seen someone at the end of her bed, grinning like a mad-man. Sirius Black offered her a wave of his hand, and she made a sound that could be mistaken for a mouse's squeak. It took only a few more moments of time to finally understand where she was and what was going on.

She was in the boys dorms. Calming down, she also realized that she was in Remus's bed after she pulled the covers back over her body (they smelled of that sandalwood that Remus always seemed to be wearing). She bit at her bottom lip and looked back up to Sirius who was still sitting at the foot of the bed, watching her.

"Good morning, or well…afternoon really." He started, in a cheerful voice that made Kit think he was up to no good (but when was Sirius ever not up to no good?).

"Where--um, why am I here?" The last thing Kit remembered was sitting on the sofa in the common room trying to forget all of her problems and fears while reading a book…and since this obviously wasn't the common room, she had to ask.

"We found you asleep on the sofa in the common room, actually it looked like you might fall into the fire at any moment from the way you were leaning forward…so James carried you up here." Sirius explained, still with that cheerful voice, and Kit glanced around the empty room with a slight questioning look on her face.

Sirius, picked up on her unease about being alone in the room and gave a sigh before speaking, "I was left to watch over you and hide you from Frank if he wandered in here…it wouldn't be good because technically speaking, girls aren't aloud in the boys dorms. The others are at lunch…they'll bring us back something."

"Oh." Was Kit's simple response as she hugged the blankets tighter around her small frame. It wasn't that she didn't trust Sirius, it was that they never really spent much time together. Thus, making for her to be rather uncomfortable with him sitting at the end of her bed, still grinning like crazy (The same grin that made many girls fall for him).

Sirius frowned for just a second, and canted his head to one side causing his dark hair to fall into his face like a veil. "You can go if you want, but the guys and me wanted to get to know you better…I mean, we only know what Remus has told us…and that's simply that 'Kit is the most wonderful witch I have ever met in all of my life'."

Kit's sad expression broke for a moment, a smile touching her lips for a mili-second then going away again before speaking. "Oh…well, I guess that's okay."

"You know, we just want to make sure you're right for our dear ole' moony."

Kit nodded, it was understandable after all…they didn't know anything about her did they? She hardly spent time with them if Remus wasn't around, and when Remus was around they barely talked about her (It was usually about the next big prank they were going to pull, or just talking about how horrid classes were).

"I'm sure you'll pass the test though…" Sirius said, causing Kit's brows to raise in slight concern…they had a test for her, to make sure she was right for Remus? That caused her stomach to flip for a moment.

"T-test?" She squeaked out, in concern.

"Well you see, it's simple really…just have to take a little of your blood…and well…" But before, Sirius could continue James and Peter walked in carrying a rather large basket.

"Don't listen to him…he's off his rocker." James said, placing the basket on the bed between Remus and Kit. Two rather old and questionable looking chairs were pulled up next to Remus's bed for James and Peter to sit in.

"So there's no blood taking?" Kit asked, after a pause of silence. Sirius broke into a laugh and Kit wondered if it would be a bad idea to reach over and smack him. James grinned, and Peter opened the basket. It was full of food, which was slowly being set out by Peter. The basket was filled with different types of sandwiches, big and small a like, fruits, and all different types of sweets.

"Courtesy of the Kitchen elves." James stated, passing Kit a sandwich which she took after a bit of hesitation (With these boys, one could never be careful…the sandwich could very possibly be filled with some kind of potion to make Kit spend the rest of the day burping or something). Poking at it, and opening the white bread she seen that it was a simple turkey and cheese sandwich.

"The Kitchen elves did this?" Kit asked, in question before taking a small bite out of her sandwich, while the other boys dug into their own food.

"They really like me…" James started, pausing to chew. The pause, gave Sirius enough time to comment.

"Yeah, the girl-elves do…have a crush on him they do."

While Kit wasn't that comfortable with the situation, she honestly didn't mind it. The boys were nice, much nicer then she had originally thought them to be. The food was great (even if she only ate a few bites of a sandwich and half of a slice of pumpkin bread), and she found the boys to be greatly amusing, it honestly seemed as if they were trying their hardest to make her laugh, which she did…a few times in fact.

James and Sirius were the talkative ones, Peter seemed to only be there for the food, their questions started off simple with James doing most of the talking and having Sirius interrupt every now and again with a witty remark.

"You've been with Remus for almost a month, and we thought it was time to get to know you." James spoke as he tossed the wrappers from lunch back into the now empty basket.

"Yeah, we want to make sure you aren't planning on killing Moony…" Sirius stated, a lopsided grin on his face which caused Kit to blink rather rapidly (did they really think she was going to kill Remus)?

"Stop being such a prat." James stated, shoving Sirius slightly and causing him to fall off of the bed with a thud. Kit winced in sympathy (Falling off the bed was never a picnic). "As I was saying, we want to get to know you because, we are Remus's best friends, and you are now his girlfriend…"

"Thanks to us." Sirius commented as he lay on the floor.

"So we need to get to know you, so that things won't be as tense as they usually are when you're around us."

"You could cut the tension with a knife."

Kit frowned, but listened anyway. Great, she caused tension in the group…go figure. Although, James did tell her that she only caused tension because they didn't know her very well, and he also went about telling her that Lily did the same thing when they first started to date. So Kit, sat there in Remus's bed with the covers pulled as closely to her as possible, listening and answering any questions that were thrown at her as truthfully as possible.

"What's your favorite class?" It seems, that they were going to start off with the easy questions…which was fine with her.

"Defense Against the Dark Arts."

"What's your least favorite class?"

"Charms."

"What's your favorite food?" Peter asked, rather out of the blue earning a harsh look from both James and Sirius. Seems that question wasn't on the itinerary

"Blueberry muffins."

"What do you do in your spare time?"

"Read."

"See…just like Remus." Sirius pointed out to James (who was obvious the one that was really wanting to know the answers to these questions).

"Where do you live?"

"Muggle London."

"Oh, what area?"

"Kind of on the outskirts…not in the best neighborhood."

"Hmm, you live rather close to me then I believe…just outside of London…" James said, but quickly shook his head and got back on track, "What's your family like?"

"Great, best family I could ask for." Kit stated, quickly (so quickly in fact that James rose a brow). She wasn't about to say, 'well…gee, they beat me when they remember they have me…so they aren't the greatest family…' No, that wouldn't be the thing to say at all.

The questions went on for nearly an hour, causing Kit to spend most of that Saturday afternoon answering (and sometimes avoiding) their slightly odd and irregular questions. It really did seem like James was trying to get to the bottom of something, and she honestly couldn't blame him…he just wanted to make sure that she was right for Remus. Although, the questions did end rather oddly.

As Kit was finally able to get up and start to head towards the door of the boys dorms, James asked rather suddenly, "If Remus wasn't who you thought he was…would you still like him?"

It was an odd question, that made Kit wonder about many things, but the question was answered none-the-less, "If he was hiding something…I'd want to know, but it wouldn't change how I felt about him."

And with that, she headed towards her rightful dorms to get dressed.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

James shrugged, looking back at his two friends after Kit left the room. "Well…"

"That went well…" Sirius finished for him, "I'm pretty sure we asked her all the basics…we probably know more about her then Moony does."

"I know…but still…"

"You still think that something's up with her?"

"I don't know…it's just, a feeling I guess. She's hiding something…some of the questions she avoided like the plague…"

"Well, you know how girls are mate."

"Yes, in any case…she will be good for Moony. "

"We should go check up on him now, it's almost dinner…"

"Yes…very well."

Even though he shouldn't, James still wondered about Kit. She was always so sad (even when they managed to get her to laugh it sounded sad). There was something up with her, and he wanted to find out!

He just didn't want Remus to get hurt in the end…because whatever was up with Kit, James believed that it was…

Big.

He could only pray that he was wrong.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

AN: Yay! Another chapter done. No fluff, -cries- I know, I'm bad right? James, suspicious of Kit? Well, Remus is one of his friends after all…he just wants to make sure that he doesn't get hurt. Next up, Present day meeting between Kit and Sirius and a lil' bit of Remus/Kit fluff.

Woo.
