Remus had begun to hang out with that girl more often, and Sirius had learned enough about her to dislike her. A lot. Her name was Mary Chang, and it was obvious she was trying to get with Remus. Every time Sirius met Remus to go to Transfiguration, she was looking him up and down and she kept touching his arm. Sirius didn't care which dumb bird Remus decided to go out with, he just didn't think Mary was the right choice for him.
The four boys were sat at the Gryffindor table, ready for dinner. James had his arm around Lily, who was very actively trying to get Peter to talk with some Hufflepuff he had been drooling over for weeks.
"Lily, she's just so pretty. What if she already has a boyfriend?" Peter cried. Lily snorted and shook her head, "Peter I assure you she doesn't have a boyfriend, she's sitting all by herself. Just go talk to her, or I'll do it for you."
Peter bit his lip nervously before he walked over, head turned low and hands shoved in his pockets. Sirius was startled when he felt a tap on his shoulder and turned to find a very concerned looking Remus.
"Are you alright? You've been uncharacteristically quiet" Remus asked softly. Sirius sighed longingly and dropped his head onto Remus's shoulder, "Moony, I am absolutely not ok. Life is so boring, James is dating Lily, Peter is always talking about that Hufflepuff girl, and in all your free time you're studying Mary's long legs in the library" he looked up at Remus with sad eyes and pretended to wipe away a tear, "I've been forgotten, wasted away by time. Soon my legacy won't even stand."
"Legacy of being the most dramatic person ever," Remus mumbled before he stated, "And I'm not studying anything besides my arithmancy textbook" Remus gave Sirius a pointed look. "Ah, of course, it's not like every time Mary sees you she isn't all like 'oh Remus, go out with me and put down that textbook, we have other things to do'" Sirius mocked as he rubbed Remus's arm and batted his eyelashes up at him.
Remus sighed and shoved Sirius off of him, "Fuck off Pads, it's not like that. We're just study partners"
Before he could say anything, Remus waved at something behind him, "Oh hi Mary, you want to head to the library now?"
Sirius turned around to face her. Her lips were in a sweet smile, and her eyes traveled around Remus's chest, she laughed the most annoying high pitched laugh he had ever heard, "Yea, sorry for stealing him," she regarded Lily and James, ignoring him altogether. "Bye, Lily, James," she paused as she looked at him with distaste, "Black," Mary said his surname like it was poison, then she hooked her arm under Remus's and dragged him off to the library. Sirius huffed and promptly stabbed his food, while he heard Lily laugh and not so subtly whisper to James about a certain someone being jealous, which then lead Sirius to head up to his dorm.
