Lorelei was in the library, her head bent over a book on the goblin raids. She had read the last sentence, she guessed, about a dozen times, and it still wasn't sinking in. History of Magic had never been one of favorite subjects, in fact she loathed it. But, it was a requirement, and she was determined to pull good grades in all her classes. A soft cough sounded from behind her. Lorelei laid her head down on the book before her. "I'm not interupting anything am I?" Remus's voice sounded a moment later. "I haven't seen you around the last few days."
Lorelei sat back up, and turned around in her seat to regaurd Remus, resting her arms on the back of the chair. His head was hung slightly, and he had his hands thrust into his pockets once more. Lorelei couldn't help but smile, there was something sweet about the boy, she bit her lip in thought. "Err...Sorry about that." Lorelei began, "I think every professor went essay happy at once. I've been...quite busy." She blinked her ice blue eyes up at him, smiling.
"I thought perhaps..." Remus began, "that you had changed your mind."
Lorelei shook her head no. "No, I haven't. And I won't." she paused, "As long as you're still sure about it." Remus indicated that he was, and Lorelei continued. "I have to wait until the new moon." she explained. "But after then..." Lorelei's smile widened. "You won't have to worry about what phase of the moon hangs over head. Unless of course, you're brewing a potion, or working some other specific magic."
"Well as I avoid potion brewing as much as possible." Remus replied with a smile. "Thanks, again." his cheeks were tinged with colour. "For all of this."
"You're welcome." Lorelei replied. "Given any thought about how you're going to explain your new found freedom, or..." she chewed on her lip once more, "Or what you're going to do with it?" 'Why the bloody hell did you ask that?'
"It's funny you ask..." Remus began, his one coming up to rub the back of his neck "James was wondering..." the boy seemed quite nervous, "If maybe...You and I would..." he thrust his hand back in his pocket, "Like to join him and Lily next Hogsmeade, at Madam Puddifoot's."
"Are you asking me out Remus Lupin?" Lorelei asked with a wry smile.
"Well...err...I just thought, maybe." he began, "If you wanted to go that is. It could be at least a bit of a thank you for, well, everything." He looked up at her, wondering what she would say, then quickly added. "Nothing implied, of course."
"Of course." Lorelei began her reply. "I think perhaps..." she too needed abit of time for thought. "I think I'd like that." Lorelei finished. 'Did I just agree to go out with him? I think I did...'
"Of course, if something come up between now and then." Remus began once more. "I'd understand if you changed your mind, since we don't even know for sure when it'll be."
Lorelei let out a small laugh. "No, it's fine, really. I can't forsee anything coming up."
"Good, very good then." Remus smiled. "I have to get back to somethings." Lorelei nodded her understanding, and he turned making his way to and out the library door.
"How very interesting." A voice sounded from beside one of the bookshelves.
