Remus Lupin sat at a table in the library, pouring over a book on the magical properties of herbs. Lorelei stood at the counter, conversing with Madam Pince for a few moments, keeping a close eye on her prey the whole time. With a thank-you and a nod, she turned from the librarian and headed for the lone boy. "Remus Lupin, is it not?" Lorelei's soft voice interupted the boys studies.
Remus looked up. "Um...Yes." He regaurded her carefully. "And you are...Belinda Vargus, is it?"
"Only by technicality." she replied, "I much prefer Lorelei."
"Lorelei then." Remus offered her a small smile. "I do not mean to be rude," he began, "but I am quite busy...trying to get this potions essay done."
"What a coincidence." Lorelei replied, laying a well manicured hand atop the book Remus had been busying himself with. "I believe we have the same essay in need of finishing." She smiled sweetly at him. "In fact," she began once more. "I think you'll find, we have a great deal in common." Remus gave her a skeptical look, to which she let out a soft laugh, and continued to smile.
"I'm sorry if I'm not sure I can agree." Remus began. "Short of this bloody insuferable essay."
"We both have members of the Black family, almost countinueously by our sides." Lorelei began. "Although I get the feeling you get on better with Sirius, than I do Narcissa." She gave a brief roll of her eyes. "Lucius this, Lucius that. You would think he was the only boy in all of Hogwarts."
"Far bit better than Sirius rotation. I'm never sure which girl to ask him about anymore." Remus aloud a grin to appear. "He changes on a weekly basis it seems."
"What about you?"
"What about me?" Remus asked, with a puzzeled look.
Lorelei sat down on the edge of the table. "Do you have a girl in your life?"
Remus swallowed a bit hard. "Err...Not in particular."
He seemed a bit nervous. Lorelei found it quite amusing. "Don't worry, I'm not going to bite you. If that's what you're afraid of."
"Well that's reassuring." But that statement too seemed to unnerve the lad.
"We do have much in common." Lorelei said once more, slipping from the edge of the table. Coming around behind Remus, she leaned over his shoulder, and whispered in his ear. "I know your secret."
