Present Day: Las Vegas Nevada
Dumbledore sends Remus and Sirius to America to recruit more people for the order. He gives them a portkey and tells them that they will meet their contacts in a park in Las Vegas, as Las Vegas is full of people and they'll be fairly inconspicuous in such a crowded atmosphere.
It was a little after nine, when Sirius rolled out of bed. He noticed Remus was still sound asleep, of course, Remus could sleep soundly through an air raid. Sirius got up, stretched a bit, and walked to the door. He noticed both his and Remus's clothes from the night before were neatly folded on the floor just inside the bedroom door. He quickly dressed and went to explore the house without supervision.
He noticed Paige's door was closed as was Rose's. Kate's door was open and sunlight streamed through the window on to a freshly made bed. Using his 'Paddy sense' as he liked to call it because it flustered Remus, Sirius noted that the room hadn't been occupied for a several hours.
Sirius continued his tour of the house but stopped in the kitchen. Before him stood a pirate, complete with sarong, dreadlocks, and nothing else.
The pirate turned from his huge sandwich, "Hey mate," he said between mouthfuls. "You must be one of those blokes from Dumbledore."
Sirius stared at the pirate, who weaved a bit as he talked to the wizard. The pirate extended his hand "Captain Jack Morgan, head pirate for the TI, at your service."
Sirius extended his hand "Sirius Black, head Marauder for the Order."
Jack laughed, "Well met. I'm Rose's beau."
Jack was going to explain more but Kate stumbled through the door carrying, several sacks of groceries.
The pirate turned to Kate "Good morning, luv."
Kate crossed to the kitchen, where she unceremoniously dumped several bags of groceries on the floor. "Morning Jack, morning Sirius. I'll be back I've got another batch in the car."
Sirius stepped forward "Do you need help, milady? Perhaps some pants?"
Kate blushed furiously and mumbled "No thank you, I'm fine." as she walked back downstairs.
Sirius just watched her retreating form, causing Jack to laugh. "No offense meant mate but you would have better luck with Paige. This one hasn't accepted a date in over the year I've know her and keeps that perfect Mary Poppins image in check 24-7." He paused for a minute as he looked through the bags. "Although..." Sirius just shook his head and began unpacking groceries with Jack.
Kate yawned as she entered the kitchen with the second batch of groceries.
Jack swaggered over to the witch. "So Katie, what is with all the food?"
Kate looked towards the cupboards, "Nothing Jack. Just the monthly supplies, and I thought I would make some fudge and chocolate cookies."
Jack smiled evilly, "Really?" Kate stifled another yawn.
"My Katie, you are yawning an awful lot. Tired, luv?"
Kate glared "I woke up early that's all."
Sirius looked at Kate. "Where did you go?"
Kate gave a worried glance towards Sirius "Well, I went to the office and did some case files. Then I cleaned out my car. Then I walked Sunset Park a few times, went to the grocery store, and then came home. Nothing too much."
Jack gave the most evil of laughs. "So what time did you start your errands this morning?" Kate mumbled something that neither man could make out.
"What was that?" Sirius asked.
Kate sighed and said "I've been up since 4:30."
Jack started to swagger towards her again "So Katie luv, you've been up since 4:30 this morning doing everything imaginable to keep your mind occupied and now you are going to bake enough confections to feed the Spanish fleet. My, aren't we the randy she-wolf! Craving someone to help you bay at the moon?"
"I don't want to talk about it." Kate said through clinched teeth as she moved to grab a bag of walnuts.
Jack waggled his eyebrows at Sirius, and continued on his quest to break Kate's cool. "So luv, who got your dainty perfectly cool, calm, and controlled knickers in a twist?"
Kate slammed the bag down on the counter. "Shut it, Jack."
"Oh come on luv, it's only classified as doggy-style during that time of the moon. Or should I say wolfie style?"
Kate was now fingering her wand, and trying her best not to blast a hole through her twit of a roommate.
Jack patted her on the back. "Stop pouting luv, you are a perfectly charming girl, once you get past the librarian act. You have a very sexy beast lying under that girl next door exterior, you just need to let the world see it. I mean a beautiful witch is a beautiful witch even if she is a were..."
Jack had stopped talking when he finally noticed two things. First, Sirius was in the room and Kate probably didn't want her little secret out. And second, Kate had her wand pointed at his privates.
Remus chose this time to make his appearance and a very flustered Kate went running from the room.
Jack inclined his head towards Remus and asked Sirius "Is it this one then?"
Paige stumbled out of her room, bleary-eyed and yawning, wearing a tiny pair of panties and a tight shirt that said, "I'll try anything once, twice if I like it!" on it. She didn't seem to notice all of the men sitting in the dining room as she walked past them into the kitchen. She opened the refrigerator door and stuck her head inside.
Jack chuckled, "Paige, darling, don't you think you've forgotten to do something?"
Paige yawned loudly and replied, "Oh come off it Jack! It's not like you haven't seen me in my underwear before."
Jack chuckled, "That I have. Last time it was a thong, lucky me. This time you might want to put on a pair of pants."
Paige got annoyed, and growled. "I thought we already went over this, Jack. You have seen me in much less."
Jack bit his hand to keep from laughing out loud, "I have, but I don't think these two gentlemen have before!" Paige straightened up, shock and realization evident on her face. She looked at the two men and smiled. Remus was blushing furiously and staring at the floor like it was the most interesting thing he had ever seen and Sirius was eyeing her and enjoying this little embarrassing spectacle almost as much as Jack.
Paige put her hands on her hips and asked, "Get a good look, Sirius? Or should I come closer and turn around slowly?"
Sirius grinned at her and winked. "Hey, I'm not opposed to getting a good look sometime but Remus looks like he's going to explode. Why don't we continue this in private?"
Paige grinned and shook her head at him. "Well, I'll go put on some pants for Remus' sake."
Sirius followed her to her room and was disappointed when she shut the door in his face.
He went back in the dining room and shrugged at Jack who was chuckling again. "I thought that's what she wanted? Oh well."
Paige rejoined them after a minute and smiled an apology at Remus who still didn't want to look her in the eye.
"Alright, boys, what'll it be? I make a pretty good omelet."
Sirius piped up, "Sunny side up instead please. Oh, and some toast and bacon if you've got it." He gave Remus a wicked glance, "Maybe some pants for my friend."
Remus glared at his friend. "Shut up, Padfoot."
Jack watched the two men interact with Paige and interrupted, "Paige, poppet, have you noticed Katie acting a little strange? It's almost like she fancies someone. If we're not careful, she might turn out to be a very naughty were-"Paige glared fiercely at him, "Um, woman. But what do I know? I'm just a pirate who's never even gotten close to that booty. Anyway, I've got a lovely little angel to wake up." Jack grabbed a can of chocolate frosting and headed to Rose's room, a big grin plastered on his face.
Paige chuckled to herself and mumbled, "Lucky girl."
Sirius was the only one who heard her and he winked when she glanced at him. She blushed slightly and smiled at him. This caused Sirius to laugh as she set breakfast in front of him and Remus.
Paige's smile got a little wider and she mumbled, "Just eat the damn food." and walked to her room.
Paige was stopped in the hall by a very angry Captain Jack Morgan, who grabbed Paige and dragged her back to the kitchen.
He glared at the trio and then bellowed "Katie, get your little Mary Sunshine arse out here. Now!" With that he pulled a pistol from his belt and shot it upwards knocking loose the kitchen light.
Kate emerged from her room and came into the kitchen. "Do you mind explaining what the light fixture did Jack? I'm sure it didn't deserve the death penalty."
He glared at Kate. "Shut up you sly wol...woman. I want to know who broke my lovely Rose." Jack exclaimed nearly sobbing out the last part.
Paige giggled and replied, "Jack, honey, she fell into a wall sconce last night when Fido attacked all of us. Remus had to get his leg looked at by Kate." She shared a glance with Sirius and they both smiled. "I got covered in pumpkin juice, and Sirius got all of the other food on him. It wasn't our fault, okay? Put the gun away before you shoot yourself again and we have to explain why you're dressed like that to social services. It was funny once, twice will just be pathetic."
Jack huffed and jabbed his gun back in the holster, making everyone jump and gasp.
Paige yelled, "If you don't have the safety on that piece of shit I'm going to kill you!" and made a grab for the pistol.
Jack jumped out of the way but Kate grabbed him and growled in his ear, "Give me the pistol Jack." Jack reluctantly handed her the pistol.
Straightening himself up he glared at Kate and said, "I meant no harm by it, luv. C'mon, shot's not even silver!"
Paige grabbed him roughly by the collar and dragged him to Rose's room. "If you don't learn to behave with that thing, I'm personally going to make sure it goes off in a very uncomfortable place for you! Now wake up your damn woman so she can take you to work!"
She shoved him into the bedroom and he lost his balance. Paige looked satisfied as he hit the floor with a very loud "thump" and slammed the door as she left.
Though shaken, Remus and Sirius attempted to continue eating breakfast. With a nervous glance at Paige as she entered the room Sirius cleared his throat and said, "So, you said that we could find a place to get me some new clothes today?"
Paige whipped her head around and nodded. "Uh, yeah. Wal-Mart is right in front of us so we can just go there. Remus did you bring anything with you?"
Remus just asked in a small, scared voice, "Why do you have silver bullets in your house?"
Kate hastily replied, "We don't and never will." She paused to think out a reasonable excuse for Jack carrying silver bullets outside the obvious. "Jack carries them because he foolishly thinks they won't set off a metal detector."
Remus relaxed a little and let out a sigh of relief. Kate didn't notice as she began rummaging through the kitchen cupboards.
Paige asked, "What are you looking for, Luna?"
Kate looked slightly annoyed at the use of her nickname, "Well let's see, Rose has been unconscious for fourteen hours. The likelihood of captain obvious actually waking her is slim to none. However this just might." She pulled out a small crystal vial containing a red liquid.
Paige stared blankly, "Kool-aid?"
Kate walked past her and turned back, "No, not kool-aid, pepper-up potion."
Paige giggled. "I knew that. How many times have we needed to use that after psycho-sailor was here?"
Kate smiled, "You mean this month, or total?"
Paige shook her head. "Either way it's too high to count." she said. Kate shrugged and made her way to Rose's room.
Paige smiled at Remus, "Sorry about earlier, didn't mean to embarrass you. You never answered my question, do you need to get some new clothes also?"
Remus nodded. "A few things would be nice but I don't have any muggle money on me."
Paige gave a dismissive wave, "Don't even worry about it, I've got it covered."
Remus started to protest and Sirius kicked him in the shin. "Ow, you git! That hurt."
Sirius shook his head and smiled at Paige. "Breakfast was lovely. I'll just go take a shower and then we can go, alright?"
Paige shrugged and nodded. "Like I said, I have the morning off so I don't really care when. Kate has the day off, so she won't care either way."
Sirius looked confused. "Then why was she in her office this morning?"
Paige thought for a second. "I don't know. She won't tell me what's going on with her right now. I think she's still embarrassed about that whole thing last night with you, Remus."
Remus stared at her horrified. "What did she tell you?!" he almost yelled.
Paige furrowed her eyebrows and responded warily, "I was in the hallway, remember? You thought she wanted you to take off your underwear and she meant your pants. Why? Did anything else happen that I should know about?"
Sirius looked slightly amused and his eyebrow shot up when Remus replied. "Oh, uh, not much else happened really. Just cleaned it up and went to bed. Nothing else happened." He said the last part a little too quickly and jumped up. "I'm going to go get a shower, okay? I think I need one rather desperately."
Sirius stopped a chuckle and Paige nodded. She sat down next to Sirius as Remus left.
Setting her hand on his arm she asked, "So, are you going to tell me what happened or do I have to bug Kate incessantly until she breaks down and tells me?"
Sirius shrugged. "Bothering her that much could prove fatal. As for what happened, I couldn't tell you." Paige pouted and took her hand off his arm.
Sirius laughed and winked. "I really couldn't tell you luv. Even if I could Remus would kill me. You might want to wait a week and a half or so before bothering her."
Paige looked at him suspiciously, her eyes narrowing and her shoulders tensing up. "Why do you say that?"
Sirius merely shrugged, "Oh, I think that if you don't find out in that time that you would get it out of her easier is all." Paige relaxed a little bit but remained wary.
"Alright, I guess I could wait that long. I'll figure it out eventually, it's just that it's driving me crazy." She stood up quickly and ran her hand through her hair. "Well, I guess I'll go get dressed for the day." Sirius chuckled and waited for his turn to use the bathroom.
When everyone was awake/cleaned up/calmed down, they congregated in the living room. Paige motioned for everyone to be quiet and spoke up, "Alright, Sirius and Remus have to go to the store, who is going with us?"
Rose still looked a little woozy and Kate stepped in when she went to speak. "I think it would be best if you rested today, Rose. You can meet us for dinner later on."
Paige let out a sigh of relief when Rose and Jack agreed. "You can even pick the place, alright?"
Rose did a little happy dance on the couch and smiled. Jack made her go back to bed and promised her that he would stay with her the entire day to make sure she had everything she needed.
Paige, looking quite a bit happier, turned to the door. "Let's go, guys." She went down the steps and walked quickly towards the big building that loomed ahead. Remus, Kate and Sirius followed approaching the big box that was (dum dum dum!) Super Wal-Mart.
The two wizards gazed around in wonder as the girls wound around the crowd to the men's clothes.
Paige held up a light blue shirt to Remus and said, "What do you think?"
Remus was still a little put off by the idea of her buying him clothes and shrugged. "Um, it's nice."
Sirius nodded. "That means yes. It's a lot like what he normally wears so he'll be comfortable in it. I'll help you two decipher what he's saying because you won't get a good answer out of him right now."
She grinned and pulled out a few other shirts. "Here, go try them on and come back with what you want. Oh, and Remus? Don't worry about the money, I make more than enough to cover clothes for you two."
Remus left with his pile of clothes as Kate pointed to the dressing rooms. They both blushed as they interacted and Paige walked to another rack of clothes. Sirius followed after her and picked up a leopard print brief.
"What's this?" he asked.
Paige giggled and cast a wicked at Kate. "Pants."
She erupted into loud howls of laughter as Sirius held it up to himself. He noticed Kate suddenly became very interested in a rack of dress shirts. He put it back having gotten the reaction he wanted and moved on to a shelf full of jeans. He pulled a few out and waited for Paige to finish finding him shirts to try on.
She pushed a few at him. "Here, go try these." She continued, "Kate and I will be in the shoe department when you're done." She bounded off, dragging Kate with her. Sirius caught Remus on the way and had him wait while Sirius tried on the mountain of clothes Paige had pulled off the rack for him.
They eventually found the shoes and the two women within.
Sirius eyed Remus and said, "You know mate, you might want to get a new pair of shoes."
Remus gave him a condescending look. "Right, Padfoot! Bloody brilliant idea," He turned and picked up the first shoe on hand, a strappy, black stiletto, and continued, "because the villagers won't mind me rampaging you-know-when if I'm wearing a sexy pump."
Sirius shrugged. "I was talking about a new pair of loafers, but whatever you want mate." Remus glared at him and turned away.
At that moment they heard Kate exclaim, "Yes Paige, my condition won't matter if I'm wearing a pair of boots that say 'take me, big boy!'"
Paige shot back, "Well, it'll get you laid! I know that hasn't happened in a while because you're cranky. Good sex makes everyone happier."
Kate quipped back, "Yeah, until the angry mob shows up and kills the atmosphere."
Sirius cleared his throat and made both girls jump.
Paige grabbed the boot from Kate's hand, "Sirius, what do these say to you?"
"They're not saying anything yet. If they ever speak up, I'll let you know."
Paige glared at him. "What do you know, you're a guy!" She turned without a word and walked to the Halloween aisle.
Sirius shrugged and headed off in the opposite direction. Kate and Remus exchanged a look, blushed, and followed their respective friends. Sirius had made his way to the women's lingerie section and was examining a lacy black teddy when Remus caught up to him.
Sirius asked, "What do you think?"
Remus replied, "It's a little cliché for you to wear black, don't you think?"
Sirius bit back, "I wouldn't be talking about clichés if I were you, Remus LUPIN!"
Remus shrugged, "That's not cliché, old friend, it's poetic irony."
Sirius laughed. "No really... what do you think? If a woman came into the room wearing this for me I'd..."
Remus cut him off, "It's very nice, Padfoot. Now put it away before..." but it was too late.
Kate cleared her throat. They turned around to find Paige giggling madly and Kate failing miserably at not blushing. Sirius let go of the object and Remus kicked it under a rack making Paige convulse into more giggles. Sirius laughed, embarrassed, and did his best to get out of the questions that were hanging in the air.
"Um, what else is here that we might find interesting?"
Paige held back her laughter, "You mean besides all of this?"
Kate nudged her with her elbow. "There's the Halloween section."
They agreed to go there and Sirius found himself looking at a very cheesy mask that had a label that said "werewolf" on it. He threw it at Lupin and grinned. Remus held it out, horrified.
"Is this what I look like? Do I look like that?"
Sirius laughed. "No, I'd say you look more like Snape. They changed the face so it wouldn't scar kids for life. It's made by muggles! What do they know about anything to do with our world?"
Remus looked over to see Paige staring at him inquisitively but she turned back to a candle she had been smelling.
Remus smacked Sirius on the back of the head. "If you're not careful those two are going to find out!"
Sirius held up his hands. "You started it. I just answered your question."
Kate came up with a package that read, "stripper costume" she grinned wickedly. Wide eyed and with an innocent voice she asked, "So Paige, does Nevada still require pasties or is this out of date?"
Paige grinned and replied, "Since when have I ever paid attention to that stuff? It is funny though. Do you think I should get it?" Sirius opened his mouth but he was cut off by a glance from Remus. Kate burst into giggles.
Paige responded, "Stop laughing Kate" which made Kate laugh harder.
Paige muttered, "Stupid mutt, always ruining the good jokes."
Kate shot back, "I don't know, do you ever start out in that much clothing?"
Paige glared at her friend and yelled, "Bad dog! Don't make me get the newspaper!"
Sirius danced back out of reach and responded, "Hey! I didn't even do anything!"
Both witches looked at him blankly and Paige dismissed it with a wave, "Don't worry Sirius, Kate just gets awfully bitchy this time of the moon."
Remus looked confused. "You mean month."
Paige smiled. "Yeah right... month."
Kate turned and walked towards the check out. Paige giggled and followed in her wake and Remus gave Sirius a puzzled glance before following the two strange women. Sirius clapped him on the back and caught up with Paige. He leaned over and whispered something in her ear that made her laugh out loud as he looked back at Remus.
When they got back Paige made them go try on their clothes and model them for her. Coming out into the living room in a pair of jeans and a t-shirt with a dog and a logo that said "SIRIUS" on it (Paige told him it was a satellite company, whatever that was), Sirius stopped to listen to Paige and Kate talking.
"What happened to you last night?" Paige asked.
Kate blushed and stammered, "Umm... well... IkindacameontoRemuslastnightanditwentwronganditwenthorriblyhorriblywrong."
Paige burst into hoots of laughter. "How did it go wrong, Luna?"
Kate spoke quickly, "It just did."
Paige sighed. "Well, I can't help you figure everything out if I don't know how it went wrong." Sirius saw her move to sit next to Kate. "Come on, you can tell me. What happened?" Kate whispered something to Paige. She burst into howls of hysterical laughter and fell onto the floor. "Now that's definitely different. Okay, so what do you want to do about it?"
Kate thought for a moment before responding, "I don't know, Paige! I don't think there's anything I can do, the man's avoiding me like the plague and I really don't blame him."
Paige giggled. "And why is that, little Miss Loonypants?"
Kate sighed. "I think that would be obvious." she responded with sarcasm.
Paige shrugged, "I don't think it's as much of a problem as you might think."
Kate spoke in a small voice, "I really don't think Remus or anyone with an ounce of sanity would want to be with me and I threw myself at him for heaven's sake!"
Paige let out a sigh and nudged her friend. "Well, I guess you're saying that I don't have any sanity whatsoever because I live with you. Granted, I don't sleep with you..." she grinned at Kate and gave her a hug. "I definitely don't want that, but I live with you on good days and bad days."
Kate sighed. "I know."
Paige piped up. "I know! I can coach you on how to get him to do whatever you want!" Kate gave her a disbelieving look. "No, really Kate. You could get Remus to do anything you want just by doing a few well-placed moves. The best part is, he would stay none the wiser. Watch, when Sirius comes back in I'll show you what I mean."
Sirius grew very curious at this and stepped into the room.
Paige hopped up and smiled. "Sirius! Would you come here for a second?" Sirius stepped over to her and she immediately kissed him passionately. She ran her hands down his back and pressed her body into his. Sirius went on auto-pilot and ground his hips into hers. He held her in closer and groaned into her mouth. Paige broke it off and spared a grin at Kate. She looked back up at Sirius and asked, "Sirius, what's your name?"
Sirius couldn't think very clearly and said, "Huh?"
Paige giggled and said, "Sirius, go get me a soda out of the fridge. Oh, and make sure you get a cup of ice to go along with it."
Sirius left and Paige turned to Kate. "You see what I mean? One little kiss and their minds turn to mush. Now, I'm betting that your little pass last night was returned you just didn't see it."
Kate rolled her eyes and tried to hide a smile, "Yeah right, Remus came on to me too. Paige I think you temporarily loose it some times."
Paige sat down next to her again, "Yeah? Well like it or not Kate, I'm the one with the most experience with men. Besides, there's a hell of a lot more to Remus than you're thinking."
Sirius came back in with the soda and ice and gave it to Paige. She grinned at him and blew him a kiss.
"Sirius? Why do you call Remus Moony?" Kate looked up and Sirius got flustered.
"Uh, it's a nickname from school. He's Moony, I'm Padfoot, James is Prongs, and Peter-"he stopped talking and anger flashed in his eyes.
Paige moved and sat next to him. "Okay, but how did he get the nickname? You might as well tell Kate now because she'll find out in about a week anyway."
Sirius sighed and nodded. "He's the only one that can make that decision."
Paige nodded and Kate gave them both a quizzical look.
Paige smiled at him and got up. "I'm going to go have a talk with him, then."
She knocked on the door to the guestroom and Remus opened it. Paige smiled at him, "Can I have a word with you, Remus?"
He shrugged, "I don't see why not. Is there something I can do for you?"
Paige sat down in a rocking chair in the room, "As a matter of fact there is, Remus. I have been talking with Kate."
Remus' eyes went wide and he blushed crimson.
"Oh, don't act like that. It's really just a big mix up. I suggest you tell Kate about yourself. She'll be a hell of a lot more understanding than people might think. Things will turn out better than you think."
Remus shook his head, "How on earth could things possibly turn out ok? I practically shagged her in the bathroom. I molested her and she ran from the bathroom! And I really don't blame her!! I have never put my happiness above anyone else's well being, and I don't intend to start now. I do need to tell Kate but I don't know how to do so."
Paige sighed loudly and growled. "Just tell her, alright? Believe me, she was just as willing last night as you were but she got scared. Do you want me to have her come in here now so you can tell her or would you like to wait until after dinner?"
Just then Jack knocked on the door, "Mate, did I happen to leave a pair of leopard print pants in here?" Both Paige and Remus looked up at a sarong clad pirate with an evil glint in his eye.
Paige cleared her throat, "No, Jack. Now go away."
Jack looked startled "Oh. Well, I'll be leaving then..." he paused for a moment, the evil glint returning to his eyes "Talking about Katie then?" he walked towards Remus and continued in a sing-song voice "She loves you. She wants to kiss you. She so fancies you." He became serious for a moment and began "Remember just go slow and don't catch her at the wrong time of the moon or those love bites could be murder, if you catch my meaning..."
Paige was interrupted from bashing Jack in the head with a random knick-knack, when they heard the sound of Rose and Kate fighting in the living room. They all ran into the front room just in time to see Rose throw a spell at Kate that divested her of all her clothing save for her bra and panties. Kate dove behind the sofa, pulled a blanket off its arm, and wrapped her self up in a makeshift toga. But not before Remus, Sirius, and Jack all had a really good look.
Jack chuckled "Really Katie, I wouldn't have figured you were the type to go for black lace." Rose and Paige sent death glares at him. "Right" he said having the sense to look sheepish.
Paige started in on Rose, "What is going on here? Did that bump on the head cause you to loose what little sense you had to start with?"
Rose turned to Paige and held up her hand, bidding her to be silent. Rose grabbed Kate, who was trying her best to stay covered, and dragged her over to Remus.
Rose turned to Paige and said "Trust me, I am a care of magical creatures professional after all."
She turned back to Remus and Kate. "Female werewolf meet male werewolf. Male werewolf meet female werewolf. Now go make puppies."
Both Kate and Remus were mortified, while Paige and Sirius were on the floor laughing. Rose smiled, quite pleased with herself, and placed Kate's wand back on the counter. Jack's eyes were glazed over as he stared at Remus and Kate as if they were going to go at it in the living room. Rose just sighed and dragged the pirate back to her bedroom.
Kate, Remus, Sirius, and Paige just stared at their retreating figures.
Paige then snapped out of it and banged on Rose's door. "How did you know?" she asked incredulously.
Rose just raised an eyebrow, "I am a professional, Paige. The signs were so clear a child could have deciphered them."
Paige stared at Rose, "A professional? Rose, I work with the dark creatures and you work with all others. I knew, but I didn't figure you would."
Rose looked a little sheepish, "Well that, and a letter came from Dumbledore. It's on the counter. Now if you will excuse me..." Paige heard a silencing spell being muttered and wards being placed on the door.
She headed back towards the living room, where Sirius looked like Christmas had arrived several months early and Remus and Kate were looking anywhere but at each other.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Paige came back into the room. She sighed and sat down on the sofa. "Well, I was going to let you tell her yourself, Remus, but I think Rose's heart was in the right place even if her mind wasn't." Sirius let out a bark of laughter and Remus and Kate exchanged a quick glance. Paige sighed and said, "Come on Sirius, let's give them their privacy." She dragged Sirius back towards her bedroom and whispered to him in the hall, "Meanwhile, I'll call in to work and tell them I'm sick so that I can stay here to see this one out!" Sirius grinned at her and they went into her room.
A/N: Thank you! Thank you! We aim to please. I won't post another chapter until someone reviews, so review! I'm seeking attention over here! HELLO?! ARG! Just click on the little button and make us happy and no one will get hurt... again. Maybe Jack for being a stupid fuckhead, but that's it.
Also, I know what you're thinking. We've already done this part, right? Well, I did explain it in the last chapter beginning A/N. Anyway, we will be replying to all of our other reviews in the next chapter. It's coming I promise. My computer is going completely psycho on me. I mean, just way too weird. Blech. So, I have to take it in to get it looked at. As a result this might take a while longer, sorry about the delay. Really. So, next chapter is coming soon (I hope) As for a hint at what goes on: They go to Messyrs Chop Chop (A fine wizarding Thai food restaurant) and see Lockhart. Hmmm... interesting. Stay with us, please! ï
