Lorelei lay in bed, staring up at the ceiling, resting. It had been a long day spent at Hogsmeade. 'Long but fun.' she thought to herself. In fact, Lorelei couldn't remeber the last time she had such a day. She rolled over and picked a chocolate frog package from the table beside her bed, smiling. Remus had handed it to her, telling her he felt good about it, and that when they decided on the time for the races, he'd be sure to let her know. "You're going to be a good frog, aren't you?" she whispered to the package.
The dorm room door opened, Narcissa strolling in, head held high, and sporting her usual 'holier than thou' attitude. "I can not believe you Lorelei." The girl let out a sigh, and rolled her eyes, 'Here it comes.' "You are a pure blood! You're family is well-off, yet you slummed around Hogsmeade all day with...with..." she had worked herself up into such a fever that she couldn't even speak anymore, just kind of made sputtering noises.
"Narcissa, " Lorelei replied a bit sleepily, "You're going to give yourself an anurism." the girl yawned. "Besides it was only one day...I have whole life of them ahead of me." Lorelei rolled back over on her back, to resume stairing at the ceiling.
Narcissa stalked over to the edge of the bed, glaring down at the girl. "You are foolish. You are going to end up throwing your life away." A deep frown was etched on the girl's features, but they softened some. "Let me set you up with Regulus, get you away from those Gryffindors. They are probably why you've been so sick lately."
Lorelei paled a little, and bit her lip, a slight frown coming to her lips. "Thanks, but no thanks Narcissa." She regaurded the girl standing before her. "How can you even come up with such a concept."
Narcissa let out a frustrated sigh. "I just don't want to see you end up like Sirius. Disowned from your family."
"Why Narcissa, I didn't know you cared." Lorelei scoffed. "Now if you don't mind. I need my sleep." She turned her back on the girl. 'Why can't you just be happy that I'm happy for a change?'
Gryffindor Boy's Dorm
Peter came slinking into the dorm room, glancing nervously around. "W-where's P-Padf-foot?"
"Think he went down to the kitchen with Prongs." Remus said with a bit of a yawn, then taking something from the table he tossed it in Peter's direction. "Here you go Wormtail, picked them up at Honeydukes." he said with a smile. "I knew Padfoot had you trailing around after Angelique for him."
Peter looked over the sweets in his hand. "F-fudge Flies." he smiled happily. "Thank you."
"I knew they were one of your favorites." Remus replied. Peter looked a bit shocked, a slight frown tried to take the smiles place. 'Someone actually noticed something about me? And took the time to remeber?' "Something wrong Wormtail?" Remus asked concerned noticing Peter's sudden change in demeanor.
"J-just not f-feeling to well." Peter returned.
"I hope you're not coming down with whatever has been bothering Lorelei."
"N-no worries mate." Peter replied, getting ready for bed. He had just crawled beneath the covers when Sirius and James returned from the kitchens.
"Hey Wormtail mate!" Sirius rousted the boy from his attempt at slumber. "Got any news for me?"
"S-she likes p-pink." a frustrated sigh escaped the boy, "and r-roses."
"Guess that's better than nothing." Sirius commented, then turned his attention to relaying a near miss that he and James had had with Filch to Remus. Peter frowned, and rolled over, pulling his blanket up over his head.
