The day after, I asked Remus to help me study in the Library - I needed help on a certain potion. When he arrived I pulled him into a secluded corner by his red and gold tie.
"You putting the moves on me, Evans?"
I gave him a look and he subsided. "Sorry, been spending way too much time with Sirius," he chuckled. "But seriously, what did you really need me for? We both know i'm horrible at potions compared to you. Compared to anyone really."
"That's just it!" I exclaimed.
"My potions grades are fine, i'm really not that bad! I make it up in extra-"
"No! The other part!"
"I wasn't serious about you coming on to me, Lily."
"No, no, no, Sirius!"
"What about him?"
"Sirius, putting moves on, 'I've been spending way too much time with him'?!" I quoted.
"What?"
"You and Sirius! What's up? Are you guys secretly dating or what? And how come you didn't tell me?
"I don't know what you are going on about." His eye dilated and he began fiddling with the seems on his already tattered robes.
"Oh, don't feed me that crap Remus, i'm not blind!" He muttered something and picked at the end of his quill. "You and Sirius. What's going on?"
"It's more like Remus and Remus's dreams..." he mumbled.
"You've got to be kidding! Have you seen you two lately? Both of you finding ANY reason to touch?"
"Both of us," Remus scoffed.
"Seriously! Have you seen the way he has been staring at you? The way he has changed? I saw him reading the Scarlet Letter yesterday for goodness sake!"
Remus's mouth curved hesitantly. "You really think so?" His eye rose to meet mine through his long lashes.
"Hawthorne, Lupin. Hawthorne! Why else would he, of all people, read that book? Maybe because he saw you reading it earlier this week?"
Remus's cheeks colored an embarrassed pink. "God, kid!" I laughed.
"Lily? Y-you promise you won't tell... uh."
"Sirius?" I finished for him, "He probably already knows - it's just so obvious, both of you!" I pulled Remus in to a tight hug and whispered, "I won't tell him we talked, i'll just push him in the right direction."
"Thanks, Lily."
I grinned at him and untangled myself out of our embrace to let Remus think to himself. I walked out of the library, just in time to see James run around the corner.
