A/N: Thanks Superpan for your review….may not be getting quantity but quality sure makes up for it :D

Ok, so update is here, and it may please some of you to know that it is all written from our dear Remus' pov. I am trying to write Peter, but I don't want to blow it with him, so bear with me on that. I don't want him to be a complete stuttering fool, nor do I want it so that Marauders are around him to feel sorry for him. That view of Peter doesn't fit well with me. Ok so here you go, again if you review, you will be proud to know you are making this writer a very happy girl :D


Remus and Peter walked down the corridor from the library, a few books in hand. Some for classes and some for more recreational uses.

"So do you think we will find anything useful in these?" Peter asked, as he glanced at the books he was holding.

"Possibly, though there is a strong possibility we may have gotten all we can from the resources in the library. We may have to rely more on our creativity this year, and our intellect."

Peter laughed lightly, but stopped abruptly. His face moving from laughter to confusion.

"What is it Wormtail?" Remus asked.

Peter just stared ahead down the corridor, and Remus followed his gaze. But instead of stopping from laughing, Remus did the opposite. The sight in front of him, made him chuckle slightly.

Lily was dragging Sirius down the corridor, admonishing him for something, while Sirius muttered obscenities under his breath.

"You promised me you wouldn't say anything to anyone!" Lily screeched.

"I didn't," Sirius replied, shaking free of Lily's grip, "I promise. Ever consider James may have been bluffing?"

Lily looked somewhat taken aback by the idea, but she seemed to accept it after some thought.

"He better be, or you may find you have lose your charms, that some females find attractive, by tomorrow morning," Lily snapped.

Sirius grinned, "Not some women, all women. You need to calm down Evans. Seriously I thought James was bad, last night. Either it's a Head Boy/Girl thing, or you and James are made for each other."

Remus laughed as he and Peter made their way towards the two, while Lily glared at Sirius.

He had no idea what was going on between Sirius and Lily. All Sirius had said was that she had wanted to talk about something, and Sirius promised Lily he wouldn't say anything. Although Remus had initial doubts about the nature of Lily and Sirius' conversation last night, they were put to bed by Sirius' adamant refusal that nothing was going on between the two of them. And he knew Sirius wasn't lying. He also knew Sirius wouldn't hurt James like that.

"We aren't interrupting anything are we?" Remus asked.

Lily turned around suddenly and looked surprised by their presence. Her face grew red, "Remus, Peter. I didn't see you there. I was just having a word with Sirius about our Transfiguration assignment."

Remus nodded. He glanced at Peter and discreetly stood on his foot to stop the remark that was to fly out of his mouth. At times Peter had no sense when it was smart to keep his mouth shut. He didn't think it would be wise to draw attention to the fact that they had been near them longer that Lily had realised.

"Well I hope you got it all sorted then," he replied.

Lily smiled slightly, "yes, he was ever so helpful. I'll see you three around later. And Peter, I may have to borrow that Charms book to refresh my memory of a certain spell, in case a certain Hogwarts student breaks their promise." She looked pointedly at Sirius before turning back down the corridor towards the library.

Sirius just shook his head, at the retreating back of the redhead.

Remus gazed at him thoughtfully, trying to figure out what was going on.

"Don't Moony, I told you I can't tell you," Sirius spoke up returning Remus' gaze.

"I didn't say a word," Remus replied innocently.

"You didn't have to," Sirius said knowingly. "So find any good books in the library?"

Peter nodded, "A couple, but we haven't looked at them properly yet."

Sirius grabbed one from Peter and flicked through the pages as they walked back to the common room.


Remus sighed as he made his way to the last class of the week. Although it was Potions, one of his least favourite subjects, he was glad that the week was drawing to a close.

There had been more drama in this first week of Hogwarts than Remus could ever remember. With the tension between Lily and James, the secrets between Lily and Sirius and the determination by James to find out what was going on, (plus the rumours flying around that Lily and Sirius were the latest hot couple in Hogwarts), Remus was looking forward to the weekend.

Remus filed in to the Potions room behind Peter and took his seat next to his Potions partner, Paige. He had to admit he could have been partnered with someone a lot worse. He knew Paige quite well from their time as Prefects. She was incredibly intelligent, and friendly, and wasn't, he had to admit, unattractive.

"Afternoon Remus," she said looking up at him as he sat down. "How've you been?"

"Fine thanks Paige, yourself?"

She smiled, "looking forward to being finished for the week in 50 minutes."

He chuckled, "who isn't?"

Remus turned to face the front of the class as Waspiner strolled in the room. She waved her hand, causing the recipe for the Potion they were to work on to appear on the board.

Remus sighed, although it wasn't a potion that required a lot of brewing time, the preparation was quite fiddly and complex.

Paige smiled, "its okay, this potion looks harder than it is."

Remus turned to her, "I didn't realise you were so good at Potions."

She laughed, "Well my dad works with Potions daily as part of his job. I think it kind of runs in the family."

"So what does your father do?" He asked politely as he measured the root powder out carefully.

"He works in research mainly," she replied vaguely.

Remus nodded, noticing her intent to change the subject, and took a quick glance around the room.

Lily and James were to their left. James was chatting idly, while Lily concentrated on the task at hand, with a look on her face that was close to exploding.

Sirius and Olivia were in the back corner. Both shot murderous glares at each other, but remained tight-lipped. He could tell Sirius was refraining from getting into a brawl in the middle of class.

Remus didn't know Olivia all that well. He tended to keep away from most of the Slytherins. It isn't as though they got along with the Gryffindors, particularly the Marauders, famously. He just knew she was friends with Snape. And Remus didn't think that was such a thing to be proud of. She had been a prefect as well, but Remus never had much to do with her, as she tended to keep to herself. But Remus had never seen anyone anger Sirius more than Olivia appeared to do, except maybe Snape and Sirius' family.

Remus focused his attention back to the task at hand, conversing lightly with Paige here and there. Remus enjoyed talking to her as she generally had something interesting or intelligent to say. And he had a feeling as the lesson wore on, that even if she wasn't that interesting he may have been captivated by her anyway.

"Hand in your vials and pack up. And I want two rolls of parchment on the side effects of the potion you brewed today." Waspiner called, breaking Remus away from his thoughts.

"I'll see you later Remus," Paige said as she grabbed her bag and slung it over her shoulder.

He smiled, "later Paige."

"You know Remus you really struck gold with Riley. She's a hotty, she's got that whole nerdy, librarian thing going for her," Sirius said to Remus after they left the dungeon.

Remus raised his eyebrows, "Are you saying you would put her in the same category as Madam Pince?"

Remus could see Sirius shudder slightly, "hmm maybe not. She's still a hotty though."

Remus chuckled, while silently agreeing with Sirius, "I think she may be out of your league Padfoot, she has a brain in that head of hers."

Sirius grinned, "ah, not many can resist my charm though. Even those girls with a brain."

Remus hoped that she would be one of the few that could; though he knew Sirius was not being, well serious, about wooing her. For some reason, he hoped he wasn't anyway.
