CHAPTER SIX
Later that night Remus see's Sirius walk up to Ambrosia and her friends in the Gryffindor common room. Lily Evans, Marlene McKinnon and Mary McDonald. Ambrosia has her knees underneath her, and as she leans against the arm of the couch, Remus sees' that she doesn't look mad at Sirius, nor does Mary, Lily looks a tad bit annoyed but not mad. In fact the only one who looks perturbed that Sirius had walked up to them is Marlene. She has this look on her face that makes Remus wonder, for a second, if she'll curse him for even approaching Ambrosia after making her cry.
He, James and Peter are all on the other side of the room so they can't hear Sirius saying sorry, but they can all see a guilty looking Sirius wringing his hands out in front of him and saying something, most likely something along the lines of 'I'm sorry I made a joke about your dead parents-I didn't know they were dead. Sorry.'
Remus see's the understanding look in Ambrosia's face as she nods along at Sirius' words, her smile reassuring, and her own hand rests on Sirius's forearm. After a few more seconds of Sirius saying something and nodding he leaves, leaving the boys to turn their attention away from a miffed looking Marlene, whose arms were crossed loosely over her chest, and an amused looking Lily, Ambrosia and Mary.
"So," James asks, already knowing the answer, "Harkins forgave you?"
"Yeah," Sirius smiled, "She said no hard feelings, that she couldn't fault me since I didn't know." He turned to his chocolate loving friend, "You know Moony she's a really nice girl." Remus looked at Ambrosia, who had her head thrown back in laughter, and then Sirius, before nodding at his friend's statement and going back to staring at Ambrosia.
"What?" Remus asked when he noticed that his friends were all giving him the same kind of look. It was a mothering, 'I know what you're doing' kind of look, and due to how each boy simultaneously had it on when he turned his attention back to them, it slightly unsettled the werewolf.
"You've got it bad," Peter smirked, he turned to Sirius and James, "He really must be over the moon for her." While Remus rested his head in his hands the other three boys started to crack up.
"Why am I friends with you three?" He wondered aloud as they howled with laughter. James fell from his seat when Sirius said that he 'Looks at her like a lost puppy.'
The girls, and the rest of the common room, turned to them in confusion- though Ambrosia, like always, managed to catch Remus's eye and smiled at him, giving him a warm fuzzy feeling inside of his chest that lasts through the night.
