The next two night of the full moon were the first that Remus spent at the castle. Despite spending every other night during the school year there, this seemed a unique occurance. Everytime Remus passed a window, he would peek out and search the night sky for the round shining orb. Finding it, the boy would smile happily. "Moony, get away from the window and get a move on." Sirius said looking down at the paper he held in his hands. "Filch is coming this way, do you want to get caught?"
"Huh? Oh no, sorry about that Padfoot," Remus returned. "Guess I'm just a bit preoccupied"
"If you're going to get preoccupied Moony," James cut in, "you could at least do so over a girl, not the bloody moon."
"Ah, but it's the moon that brought us together." Remus commented, returning his attention to the mission at hand.
"Mooning for Lorelei are you mate?" Sirius joked. The other three boys groaned.
"That was bad Padfoot." James commented.
"Really bad." Remus added.
"Yeah, well." Sirius smirked. "This way mates, a snacking extravaganza awaits us in the kitchens."
Slytherin Girl's Dorms
"Why won't you tell me where you were two nights ago." Narcissa questioned Lorelei for what the girl guessed was easily the dozenth time. "That is the second night you've snuck out of here like that."
"I didn't sneak." Lorelei defeneded herself. "I got up," as she said it, she stood up from her bed. "walked to the door." The girl's feet carried her to the door, she opened it up. "Opened the door, and walked on out." Lorelei smirked at the other girl, whose face held a look that was a mixture of smuggness and contempt. Lorelei was well aware that Narcissa Black hated being talked down to, and that little bit there was enough to set the girl on edge.
The girl's feet carried her from the dorms to the common room, muttering under her breath almost the entire way. "Bloody annoying prat of a girl. Thinks she knows everything, or has to at any rate."
"Talking to yourself?" A cool voice asked from the couch before the fire. With a roll of her eyes, Lorelei leaned over the back of the couch. "Do. Not. Do. That." Severus's words were cold and even.
"Sorry." Lorelei flashed a smile, standing back up, and coming around the other side of the couch. "What are you doing up so late?"
"Not that it's any of your business, but I would think that would be obvious." The boy moved the book in his hands ever so slightly in indication he had been at study. He sat back a moment, regaurding the girl carefully. "So the amulet worked, I assume."
"Gee Severus, I didn't know you cared."
"I don't." he replied, "Just hopeful this is one less monster to worry about."
"Monster huh, that what you think of me Severus?" Lorelei answered, a coy smile on her face. "You think me a monster?" Severus closed his potions book, and stood, a cold look in his eyes. "What? You don't find me amusing Severus?"
The cold look became a glare. "I am going to bed." With that the boy headed for the dorms.
"Good night Severus." Lorelei replied with a smirk.
