Several students were hold up outside the unused classroom on the fourth floor by as early as 6:30. Peter paced the hallway, in the appearance of keeping an eye out for professors and Filch. At 6:45 James and Sirius started registering the frogs, and taking bets. Remus was set up in the classroom, map spread out before him. It was he who was really keeping watch out, not only for professors and Filch, but any student that may lend a hand in the ruining of fun. "Send Lorelei in when she gets here, alright?" Remus called out to the two boys at the door, as he watched the little marker that bore the girl's name headed in that direction.

"Will do mate." James called back.

"Lily's on her way too." Remus called back out.

Lily reached the room first, and was chatting with James by the time Lorelei got there. "Prongs is suppose to tell you to go on in." Sirius told her with a smirk. "He's also suppose to be helping me out here." with that he elbowed the other boy.

"Oh, hey Lorelei, Moony said to go on in."

"So I've heard." the girl replied with a bit of a laugh.

Once inside Remus came to her side quickly. "You feeling alright?"

"Fine, why do you ask?"

"I seen you run out of the Great Hall this morning." Remus told her. "I wanted to ask you how you were earlier, but...It's been a busy day."

A slight pink rose to her cheeks. "Yeah...Narcissa got me worked up, I guess it upset my stomach some." Lorelei bit her lip nervously.

"I'm afraid to ask, but...what about?"

Lorelei shook her head. "The same old things. Pure-bloods vs. Half-bloods. Slytherins vs. Gryffindors" she frowned. "Saying you're all a bunch of blood-traitors, and I was slumming." a frustrated sigh slipped from the girl.

"Some people can't see past the prejudices that are set before them." Remus too frowned a moment, but then a smile crept back onto his features. He rubbed the back of his neck a moment with one hand, then thrust his hands into his pockets. A nervous habit that Lorelei couldn't help, but let a small laugh escape as she witnessed it. "On that, not so glourious note. I was wondering..." he shuffled his feet a bit, Lorelei smiled, she found his nervous demnour endearing. "Would you like to accompany me to this years Yule Ball." He dropped his head, and it tilted slightly to the side, and he looked back up a little.

Lorelei's smile broke into a grin. 'He is so adorable when he's nervous.' "I think..." she paused, biting her lip once more, and adding to the boys nervous state. "I'd like that...very much." Lorelei finaly answered, much to Remus's relief. The boy smiled happily.

Before anything else could be said, James's voice broke the not so silence of the area. "7:00, last call. The frogs will be taking their places."

"Oh, I brought this." Lorelei said, pulling the Chocolate frog package from her robe pocket.

"Hey Prongs." Remus's face was still broke out into a grin. "Once more over here." After getting Lorelei's frog, and a few other last minute entries in, the lines the little hoppers up at the one end of a make-shift course. Those with frogs in the race stood one end, while James, Sirius, and Remus stood at the other, to judge the winning frog.

"Ready" Sirius called out.

"Set." James went next.

"Go!" Remus's shouted, and the frogs were released. Per usual, most of them had one good hop, and staled on the spot. Of those who managed a few more good hopes, they were insistant on going every way, but the one they were suppose to be going in. When it came right down to it, it was left up to Lorelei's frog, and that of a Hufflepuff boy. The Hufflepuffs frog just barely edged out the girl's for the win. "Better luck next time." Remus told Lorelei with a bit of a sigh.

"It's okay. It was fun." she replied. "Besides, I already got my prize before hand." Lorelei finished with a smile. Remus smiled back at her. "Do you need some help cleaning up here?" she asked after a moment.

Remus shook his head. "Peter usually does that part." he said looking around. "Although it does seem that he's gotten off to somewhere just now." then with a shrug, " I suppose, if you wanted to lend a hand." With that Lorelei assisted the three boys, and Lily who had chosed to stay behind as well, with the job of catching run-a-way frogs, and returning the room to it's previous state.
