Lorelei watched Remus Lupin sitting at the Gryffindor table at dinner. She had found him mildly interesting before...Now he seemed almost intriging. "Please tell my you do not honestly fancy the boy." Narcissa said taking a place beside Lorelei at the Slytherin table.

"On the contrary, Narcissa my dear." Lorelei replied, still not taking her eyes from Remus. "He is merely a distraction as I said before." A wicked grin crossed her face. "My newest toy."

"And how do you purpose to lure him into your wed? He's not exactly on friend'y terms with any of us Slytherins."

"Perhaps not." the girl spoke in a thoughtful tone. "But you'll be amazed what comes from having things in common."

"Things, in common with that poor mud-blood?" Narcissa sounded scandalized, "You must be kidding."

Lorelei regaurded her carefully. "You should know me by now. I never kid about my toys." The girl gave her a disgusted look. "Don't worry Narcissa, I have no intention of sullying my pureblood." Lorelei added with a roll of her eyes.

At the Gryffindor table

"Is she still looking this direction?" James whispered to Peter who was sitting next to Remus at the Gryffindor table.

"Sure enough she is." Peter replied

Sirius turned around to shoot a glare in the direction of the Slytherin table. "What's that bloody snake want?"

James turned a bit to catch sight of the girl as well. "Well it's certainly not us mate." As the two boys had turned to look, Lorelei gave them a cold glare and turned her head away from the Gryffindor table, the first time that night.

"She was cozied up to Snivellus at lunch time." Peter interjected. "Perhaps..."

"You're not suggesting a divine specimen such as that, would fancy that greasy git." Sirius gave Peter an unbelieving look.

"N...n..no, of course not." Peter stammered.

"If you three care so much." Remus interjected, "Why not stroll on over there and ask her."

"Aw, come on Moony, what's wrong mate?" James turned back around to face the boy.

Remus looked up from his dinner, leveling his eyes at James. "Just a bit stressed. Getting close to that time, you know." he said pointedly, with a frown.

"Oh yes." James nodded. "Sorry about that mate, it slipped my mind for a moment."

Remus let out a sigh. "I wish it could slip mine." he whispered. None of the other boys seemed to take notice. With another sigh, Remus stood up. "I've got to work on my potions essay. I will catch you up later."

At the Slytherin table

Lorelei continued to watch Remus, until Sirius Black, and then James Potter turned in her direction. She scowled at the both of them, and made a point of turning her head from them. Bloody annoying prats. She continued to still keep an eye on the Gryffindor table, and was quite delighted when Remus got up and left, leaving his three mates behind. "Do excuse me." Lorelei said as she stood. "I have business to attend to." And with that, she too left the Great Hall behind.
