Lorelei woke the next morning feeling quite drained. 'I guess last nights magic was a bit much.' she thought to herself. Apon sitting up her head spun, and her stomach churned, Lorelei laid back down quickly. "Going to laze the day away?" Narcissa asked. "Why don't you join Lucius and myself this morning?" the girl asked. "We can ask Regulus to come along."
"I thought you were trying to convince me to get out of bed." Lorelei replied, "Not stay here for the rest of the day."
"And who would you get out of bed for? That Gryffindor scum? Or perhaps Severus? You know he's only a half-blood even." Narcissa asked with an air of disdain.
Lorelei rolled her eyes as she stretched lazily. "I've told you before, I'm not interested in anyone right now." 'So why am I helping Remus?' Lorelei furrowed her brow. 'It's just a game, a distraction.' "I'll crawl out of here shortly." she told Narcissa. "Just go on without me."
"You're missing out on a grande opportunity." Narcissa threw back at the girl as she exited the dorm room.
"Oh yes, grande opportunity to be bored out of my bloody mind." Lorelei muttered. Reaching out, she retrieved the small box from her bedside table. 'But I do have to speak with Remus today.' With that thought, Lorelei forced herself up from the bed, and prepared for the day.
In The Gryffindor Dorm Room
"So Moony," Sirius's voice sounded, as he suddenly dropped down onto Remus's bed, rousing the sleeping boy. "You think the snake going to come through?"
"Please Padfoot. I was up late working on essays." Remus pulled the blanket up over his head. A moment later he sat bold upright. "Was last night the new moon?" he questioned, then added. "And it's not nice to refer to Lorelei as a snake."
"Well she is a Slytherin." Sirius shot back.
"Padfoot, can't you see, Moony likes the girl." James cut in.
"I never said that Prongs." Remus replied quickly, "Lorelei is helping me out is all...She's a friend is all."
Peter piped up from across the room. "M-Moony has-s a cr-rush."
"Not you too Wormtail." Remus replied with a bit of a chuckle. "It's getting where you can't trust anyone."
"Wh-what's th-that suppose t-to m-mean?" Peter asked wide-eyed.
Remus shook his head. "Merlin Wormtail, Don't take it personally." Peter just busied himself with getting ready for the day, along with the rest of the boys.
