Sirius never thought he would want a History of Magic lesson, or any lesson for that matter, to go longer. He kept nervously glancing at his watch, knowing he'd have to somehow talk to Remus after they got out of class. He had no idea what he would say… And there were only 5 minutes left. Sirius glanced up at his friend James before quickly scrawling a note.

Any suggestions on what I should do? –S

James, who had been falling asleep, jolted up when Sirius threw the note at him.

Well, normally people say be yourself and be honest… -J

Oh yeah that sounds like a GREAT idea… "oh hey Remus, my stupid friend James made a bet with Snape saying I can get you to ask me out. So, can you?" –S

I got a plan. Just follow my lead. –J

Sirius looked up at James questioningly. James just flashed him a grin.

Uh oh, Sirius thought. What does James have in mind this time?

Sirius did not have much time to figure out what James was thinking, as the class had just ended. Sirius sighed and signaled at James to lead the way.

"Heyy Loopy-in… erm… Lupin" James said with a smile while putting his arm around Remus' shoulder.

Remus looked startled for a second. Gazing down at the floor, he replied stiffly, "Hello James. Sirius."

Sirius nodded back at him.

"So, how would you like to sit with us today? We're heading to the Great Hall to grab some lunch right now" James asked.

Lupin shuffled his feet uncomfortably. "Uh… I-I mean I'd like to. But I have to go to the library. I should really get on that.."

James laughed. "Well, I mean you have to eat at some point anyway, right?"

"I-I guess so… But I have to return this book then get some work done… I just don't know. Sorry, James."

James leaned closer to Remus. "I mean, you like us don't you? Sirius and I are a couple of nice guys."

Remus blushed. "I do," he quickly replied. "I'm sure you guys are great guys. I just have a lot of work to do. Sorry." He started to back away.

"Fine," said James hostilely.

"I guess I'll see you later then," said Lupin as he quickly started to walk away.

James gave Sirius a hard nudged.

"Ow!" Sirius exclaimed.

James shot Sirius a meaningful look. Sirius sighed before yelling, "Hey! Wait up, Remus!"

Remus turned around looking both surprised and confused.

"I actually have a lot of work to do too," Sirius said after catching up to him.

"Oh?" said Remus, unsure of what to say. They continued to walk toward the library.

"Yeah… Actually, I heard that you're pretty good at Defense Against the Dark Arts. Is that true?"

Remus blushed and looked at the ground. "I mean, I guess so… I am doing alright in that class."

"You're just being modest. Anyway, I missed the class we had on Boggarts, so I'm having some trouble with the essay. Would you mind helping me?"

Remus looked a bit puzzled, "I mean, of course I'll help you… But why are you asking me? Why not James?"

Sirius gave Remus a crooked grin. "James is smart and all, but you know he's James… He's not exactly the best study partner. Besides, I'm sure you'd make a better teacher than him any day."

Remus smiled shyly, "I guess you're right…"

Sirius held the library door open for Remus. "After you," he said, bowing jokingly.

Remus chuckled, "Thanks. I'd love to help you, Sirius. Just let me return this book, and then I'll be right over."

"Awesome!" replied Sirius as he sat down and smiled at Remus. "I'll be right here waiting for you."

"Alright. Be back soon."

Sirius watched Remus walk away and sighed. What am I doing?
