Peeking through the bookshelves, Ebony saw Remus coming towards her. Sneakily, she went around him. As he peered through the a shelf to see if she was in the next row, Ebony snuck up behind him. As he walked through the Library, she carefully traced his steps. When ebony was sure Madame Prince, the old Librarian, was out of earshot, she just barely got her hands around Remus' eyes because he was taller than she was. "Guess who!"
Remus' smiled, "I honestly have no idea. Who is it?" He was only joking around. He took her hands that were slowly sliding down his face to uncover his eyes and turned around to see Ebony. "Hey Ebony." He said while laughing.
The other Marauders did notice Remus was gone, but instead of going out to sit under their tree, they went to go find their moody Moony. When they found him in the Library talking to The Ravenclaw Girl, they were not surprised. The same thing ran through each of their minds: time to prank him.
Ebony and Remus found their way to under stuffed armchairs in a well-lit part of the Library. They chatted away about school and friends (or lack thereof). It was still a couple of days until the full moon, but Remus was becoming very anxious. Even though Ebony had on idea of his transformation, she still wondered why he was acting uneasily.
"Remus, why are you acting so-fidgety?" Ebony asked carefully.
"What? No, I'm just ah- getting a slight cold. Kinda makes me uneasy- you know?" Remus replied just a little too quickly. It was almost like the line was rehersed.
"Oh. Well Madame Pomfrey can fix those pretty quick. Although the potion you have to take tastes horrible." Remus nodded in agreement. It seemed like everyone had had a drink of the cold potion.
Then suddenly as the two began to talk about trips to the Hospital Wing, Remus heard a stifled giggling sound.
"Did you hear that Ebony?"
Remus thought of the worst. Those damn Slytherins are up to something…or better yet…the Marauders are up to something. That was not good. The one he thought of most were his friends.
By the look on Ebony's face, she did not seem to hear a thing. He cursed his more acute hearing, wondering if this was what Sirius experienced as well. He got up from his chair and walked around the Library, trying to find the source of the noise.
