Morning dawned, thin shafts of light creeping through the spaces left between the boards. Three animals woke and stirred, quickly changing into three boys. James nudged Sirius and pointed to the lone bed that held it's residence in the Shrieking Shack. "Well if that isn't just adorable." Sirius snickered. "Should we wake Moony up, or let him sleep a bit longer?"
Peter stood off to the side watching the sleeping forms of Remus and Lorelei, whose arms and legs were tangled together. "We do have to get to morning classes." Jame replied.
"So true." Sirius said with a nod. "Moony wouldn't want to miss class."
"Go ahead Wormtail." James called over to Peter. "Wake the sleeping beauties up."
Peter leaned over and shook Remus by the shoulder. "Moony...Moony, time to get up mate."
Remus reached out sleepily, swatting the offending hand away. "Five more minutes mum."
James and Sirius burst out laughing, "Come on mate. Time to get up." Sirius slapped the boy on the leg.
Remus startled awaked. "Uh...Huh?" Glancing around he tried sitting up. The movement caused the girl sleeping beside him to stir.
Lorelei opened her eyes, blinking a couple times, a blush creeped to her cheeks as she realized her legs were tangled with Remus's. "Err...Sorry." She said, blushing again.
"No problem." Remus muttered, a bit of colour rising in his cheeks as well.
"Hey, if you love birds are about through." Sirius intruded. "We've got to get back to the castle in time for class."
"Sirius Black, worried about being late for class?" Lorelei teased, standing up from the bed. "Well, miracles do happen." followed by a small laugh, that ended in a yawn.
"He's more worried about missing an opportunity to get into some mischief before class." Remus countered, followed by a yawn of his own. The in a more serious tone. "How you feeling?"
"Not too bad." Lorelei replied, working some knots out of her muscles. "Just a little tired." another yawn escaping.
Remus retrieved the girl's necklace from the nail. "Here, I believe this is yours."
Lorelei smiled. "Thank you." she fastened the chain that held the amulet around her neck once more. "You'll understand if I don't join you again tonight?" Remus nodded. "And since I know we're in the Shrieking Shack...Mind if we leave off with the blindfold on the trip back?"
"So much for well-kept secrets." Remus replied with a laugh.
"No worries. You keep mine." Lorelei began, "and I'll keep yours." With that, the five students made their way back twords Hogwarts castle and classes.
