When Elizabeth and Remus reach the entrance to the kitchen, Elizabeth looks up at Remus with a confused look on her face. "You can have the honours." Remus says politely. "All you have to do is tickle the pear."
"You really expect me to believe that?" Elizabeth says and raises her eyebrow.
"I sweat on my life." He says and smiles.
She rolls her eyes and tickles the pear. The door opens and she laughs. "Wow. This school is nuts."
"Of course it is." Remus says and follows her.
"Excuse me Mr. Lupin and Miss Mires." Came a small voice. Elizabeth looks down and sees an elf.
"Spacie." Remus exclaims in a loving tone.
"Can Spacie do anything for you Mr. Lupin and Miss Mires?" The tiny elf asks.
"Um can we have some gummy bears, chocolate, chips, candy, soda, and some sandwiches?" Remus asks. "And can they be delivered to the Gryffindor Common room?"
"Of course Mr. Lupin. Would you like Spacie get Mr. Potter, Mr. Black, Mr. Pettigrew, and Miss Evan's favorite snacks also?" Spacie asks.
"All but Mr. Pettigrew's." Remus tells the elf and pats her little head.
She smiles. "It will all be up in a half an hour Mr. Lupin." Spacie says and turns to Elizabeth. "Miss Mires, please come back soon with the others."
"I will Spacie." Elizabeth says and grins.
Within an hour the group had returned to the common room and five mattresses where laid out in a fan on the floor with one end of each near each other's.
"This is mine." Lily says, spotting the one with the colored lilies on the bedspread.
"Mine!" James and Sirius yell as they jump on their own beds. Sirius' had a blue bedspread with bludgers on it and James' had a blue bedspread with red quaffles on it.
Remus sits on his bed, which had a dark blue background with moons and stars on it.
"I'm guessing this one is mine then." Elizabeth says as she sits on the one with a deep purple background and moons and starts.
Sirius immediately noticed the similarities between Remus' and Elizabeth's bed spread. "You two have similar tastes, but one question Remus, where is your lump at the bottom like hers?" He asks pointing to the base of Elizabeth's mattress.
Elizabeth looks and grins. "Boots!"
The lump moved and James squeals. "Ah! It's alive!" He yells and clings to Lily for support.
Elizabeth reaches down under the covers and pulls out her little charcoal kitten. "Everyone, meet my little baby, Boots." Lily squeals and rushes over.
"You were afraid of a small kitten." Sirius teases James and laughs.
"We should go get our pajamas on." Lily suggests.
"Yeah, let's go." Elizabeth says and goes up the stairs with Lily.
About ten minutes later, Elizabeth and Lily made their way down the stairs. Sirius lets out a very loud catcall as they come down. They both blush and sit on their beds. "Looking good ladies." James says as Remus rolls his eyes.
Lily looks at James and saw that he was wearing flannel pants with a short sleeve shirt that showed off his Quidditch muscles. When did he get those muscles? Wow… Lily thought and then her eyes widen. Was I really think that James was hot?
James knew he was still into Lily, but he didn't want to ruin anything by being a jerk and asking her out, so he just shut up and played nice.
Elizabeth sits down on her mattress and looks over at Remus. She saw he was wearing black flannel plans and a shirt that showed off his muscles also. Elizabeth knew that she couldn't get involved with anyone but she also knew it didn't hurt to look.
As Elizabeth was brushing her hair, Remus thought about how pretty she looked. She was wearing some grey sweat pants and a Sheerwood Academy shirt. She could have been wearing a paper bag and Remus would still be thinking that she was pretty. Her auburn hair was falling over her shoulders. As he looked at her, Remus realized that he was developing a crush on her. He frowns and shakes his head. He couldn't put her in the spot where he could hurt her. He looks up and smiles at her. It didn't hurt to look though.
Sirius, who had been watching the whole thing and was guessing what each person was thinking, was forming a plan to get both of the young couples together.
