A/N: Sorry this took so long...my internet decided to spontaneously combust for a few days...:-)
January 16th, 1976
History of Magic had never proved to be more boring than it was that day. Remus, the only one who ever took notes, was staring absently at a blank page. His head kept drooping, but he knew Professor Binns either wouldn't notice, or didn't care. Wearily Remus turned his head to face Sirius who was, for once, awake in this class. Sirius caught Remus's eye and smiled.
Words began to appear on his paper. Are you still thinking about last night?
Remus's reply was simple. Yes.
Is that all you can say?
Remus looked to Sirius and smiled. I could say a lot of things, I suppose, but I'm bad at putting those things into words.
Well I'm not. Sirius' grin was wicked. And I wanted to know if you wanted to get together again alone this evening...I'm sure we could enjoy it a lot more if we both weren't drunk.
What about this essay on Goblin Rebellions?
Fuck it.
Remus gave a tiny grin. Ok. When?
After our last class. I have someplace to show you.
Remus tapped the paper with his wand and the writing vanished. It was the same magic they had used to create the Marauder's Map - now all of the Marauders could do it, and it was amazingly simple to communicate during class. Remus looked to James, who seemed to be doodling L.P. on his paper. Idly he thought they were moving a bit fast, but then again, they had been flirting for ages...if you could count Lily's odd way of flirting...
Peter was absently scratching his left arm, struggling to keep up with Binns' notes. Remus made a mental note to copy them later, if he had time.
Meanwhile, Remus lapsed into a most pleasant daydream...involving Sirius, and wondering if Miranda Delva had taught him anything...
Binns left the room, signaling the end of class. Remus wouldn't have noticed if James hadn't clapped him on the shoulder. "You all right, Moony?"
Remus shook out of his daze. "Yeah, yeah I'm okay..."
James narrowed his eyebrows. "Did you finally let Sirius hook you up with someone?"
He hesitated. "Yeah, yeah I did."
"Who?"
Remus snorted. "I'm not telling you." He grinned and began to gather his things.
"Well whoever she is, she's having a great effect on you. You've finally managed to ignore Binns - funny, it's a lot easier for everyone else."
Remus shrugged. "Yeah. It's wonderful." He conveniently did not say 'she.'
"Not Miranda, right?"
"Definitely not. She's kind of...well..."
"Trashy?" said Sirius, walking over to them.
"Well, yes," Remus admitted.
"Right, well, same place tonight, around 8?" Sirius asked.
"Yeah...yeah, that sounds fine," Remus grinned.
"Wow, even setting up encounters for him?" James asked curiously.
"He wouldn't be able to sneak around well enough on his own, I'm giving a few pointers," Sirius said airily.
"I can sneak around fine, thanks. I got into the Shrieking Shack on my own before I became friends with you guys," Remus pointed out.
"Yeah, sure." Sirius grinned. "8."
"8. Now I have to go work on this essay I think we were just assigned in here," Remus said. "2 rolls of parchment on goblin rebellions, right?"
Sirius laughed. "Like I was listening." He left.
James patted Remus on the back. "Good luck tonight."
Remus smiled in spite of himself. "Thanks."
