"Where were you last night?" Narcissa asked Lorelei as they stood in the girls lavatory between classes. "Your bed wasn't slept in at all." her tone was almost accusing. "You weren't with that filthy Gryffindor mud-blood were you?" Lorelei worked on removing some tangles from her hair, doing her best to ignore the other girls rambling. "Well?" Narcissa asked once more.
"No." Lorelei finaly replied. "I wasn't with THAT Gryffindor boy." she hissed back. 'I was with him and this three friends, you stuck up prat.' Her sleeping brain kicking into gear. "I fell asleep in the library." Lorelei still a bit tired yawned.
"You need to waste less time in the library, and more time in the social circle." Narcissa commented.
'Oh yes because every high-bred pure blood wizard wants to bring a werewolf home to mother and father.' After last night, Lorelei was faced with the truth once more. She was, and always would be, a werewolf. Amulet or no, there was no changing that. She had risked a lot revealing her secret to Remus Lupin, and his group of friends. Lorelei frowned looking in the mirror, dark circles trying to creep out under her eyes.
"If you keep frowning, you'll get wrinkles." Narcissa commented to her. 'As if wrinkles are my greatest trouble' Lorelei thought bitterly. 'Can I still offer Remus this 'cure' knowing the cost?' She bit her lip in thought. 'Then again, how can I not?'
"So what do wild werewolves do under the full moon?" Sirius asked Remus as they sat on the sidelines of the Quidditch pitch, watching James practice. "Other than play a rousing game of what appeared to be tag."
Remus shook his head. "What are you talking about Padfoot?"
"You and Lorelei last night mate." he returned. "Running through the Shrieking Shack."
"We did?" Remus asked a bit surprised, then shrugged. "You know I don't remeber any of what happens."
"That's too bad Moony." Sirius replied. "Looked like you and Lorelei were having a great deal of fun. Exspecially by how the two of you woke up this morning." he finished with a snicker.
"I'm sure it wasn't anywhere near what your mind is making it out to be." Remus replied.
"Sirius was about to make another comment, when Peter's cheers from beside them interrupted. "He caught the sn-snitch!" The boys face broke into a wide grin, as he turned to face Remus and Sirius.
"When doesn't he?" Sirius asked, putting a bit of a damper on Peter's celebrating. "It's only practice Wormtail. Not like it's a real game." Peter sat back down, sulking a bit.
"Did you really have to knock down his excitement Padfoot?" Remus asked observing the put out lad.
"It's good for him." Sirius replied. "It builds character."
James joined them a few moments later. "Did you see that catch?" he asked.
"Great as always Prongs." Sirius replied. "You never cease to amaze." Remus shook his head slightly, amused by Sirius's sudden enthusiasm. Peter scowled in the direction of the boy who has just quelled his excitement, still feeling put out by Sirius's earlier comment.
