I don't own Harry Potter


Remus and Elizabeth woke up at the same time the next morning. Elizabeth, being someone who can get up almost as soon as she wakes up, jumps out of bed and opens her mouth to announce she was up, but before she could do this, she was pulled back down onto Remus' mattress. "What the…Hmmffdfadnl." Elizabeth starts to say before Remus puts his hand over her mouth. He pulls the covers over the both of them, so that they were invisible to the others in the room.

"It's always worth listening to Lily and James this time of the morning." Remus whispers, with his breath warm against Elizabeth's neck. It was only then that Elizabeth realized how close she was to him.

"Why?" Elizabeth asks.

"Shhh… listen. Lily's very manic when she's getting ready to go out anywhere. Combine that with a quick temper, well let's just say you don't want to get in her way." Remus explains.

"JAMES POTTER! HAVE YOU BEEN USING MY HAIR BRUSH AGAIN?" Lily shrieked.

Elizabeth was expecting the reply to be in the same tone as Lily's but instead she heard the tone that a mother might use to put a baby to sleep or the tone that a grandmother would talk to her granddaughter in. "No, my dearest Lily. Why would I, James Henry Potter, invade your personal space like that?"

"Plus the fact it would be pointless using a brush on his hair, it'd never lie straight." Sirius said in a mocking voice from the bathroom.

"Then pray tell me Mr. Prongs, WHY THERE IS BLACK HAIR IN MY NE HAIRBRUSH!?" Lily yells

Elizabeth, who was watching this all through a gap between the mattress and the sheets, looks away in embarrassment. This was due to the fact that Sirius had just walked out of the bathroom with nothing on except a yellow fluffy bath towel. When Elizabeth has gotten over her initial shock, she turns back only to see Sirius walk over to Lily, pluck the hair brush out of Lily's hand and start to run it through his smooth, silky black hair. Lily just glares at him and walks up the stairs to her dorm to get dressed.

"Well that went well didn't it?" James says, giving Sirius a high five.

"Yes rather, but I don't know why she ran away? I mean, why would you when you could stay and gaze in wonder at my wonderful body?" Sirius boasted and puffs out his chest and flexes his muscles. This was all too much for Elizabeth as she let herself giggle under Remus' blankets. Remus gently kicks her to tell her to be quiet and wraps his arms around her shoulders to yet again place a hand over her mouth. Elizabeth, who didn't like to be silenced, although she wasn't complaining about where Remus' arms where, put her arms behind her back and started poking Remus in the stomach. Sirius and James look over towards the large lump on Remus' mattress and walk over to see what was going on. Remus quickly removed his hand from Elizabeth's mouth and Elizabeth stopped poking Remus, but before they could move their hands from around each other's waists, the covers were removed and James and Sirius stand abover them looking down with shock and amusement.

This isn't going to be too hard at all. Sirius thought.

"This isn't what it looks like!" Remus and Elizabeth say at the same time.

"No?" James asks with his eyebrow raised.

There was a pregnant silence which was broken by the sound of shoes on the marble staircase. Elizabeth and Remus finally removed themselves from each other's arm and scramble to their feet. "Oh you're finally away. Great now you can save me from these imbeciles. Do you know what they did this morning? They…" Lily starts.

"I'm sure they heard every word that was said, unless they were too busy to listen." Sirius interrupts and smirks.

As James snorts, Remus and Elizabeth both turn similar shades of pink and Lily gave them both a strange look. To break this awkward moment, Elizabeth asks Lily a question. "Are we wearing muggle clothes or robes?"

This was an odd question to ask, because Lily herself was wearing tight hip hugger jeans and a baby pink halter top. "Um… muggle clothing."

Elizabeth suddenly realized how stupid her question way and ran into the bathroom to shower. As she left, Remus followed her with his eyes until she was out of site. His gaze returned to the group and was met with three pairs of raised eyebrows. "Okay, well… I'm going to get dressed too… I'll be in the prefect bathroom." He says and rushes out of the common room. About twenty minutes later, Remus returns wearing a pair of baggy jeans and a plain black shirt. Sirius was wearing a pair of black jeans and Beatles shirt, and James was wearing a pair of jeans and a Gryffindor Quidditch shirt. The four friends were sitting on the couch and were waiting for Elizabeth to join them. After five minutes of waiting, Elizabeth came down from the dormitories.

"Sorry I took so long. I had to feed Boots." She explains. The five of them go out of the common room and Sirius and James rush off to breakfast. Lily, Remus, and Elizabeth walk there at a slower pace. "Do I look okay?" Elizabeth asks Lily.

"You look fantastic." Lily says with a smile.

Elizabeth was wearing a pair of jeans and a white halter top with a thin black jacket that had sleeves that reached her elbows. Her hair was half up and half down and she only had some eyeliner on.

Elizabeth turns to Remus. "Are you sure I look okay?" She asks.

"As Lily said, you look great Lizbet." He says, his eyes never leaving her face.

"Lizbet? What kind of nickname is that?" A voice asks.

The three of them look over and see that they finally caught up with Sirius and James.

"I like it, so…" Elizabeth says and sticks her tongue out.

The boys laugh and they all go and eat breakfast. Soon they were ready for Diagon Alley.
