A/N: Hey! Sorry for the hiatus for the last month. I've been writing papers and finals are coming up for me. I'm going to try to get one more chapter in the next two weeks, hopefully.

I also introduced another character. I just thought over the last few months that Adhara needs other friends besides the Marauders. No, he is not another love rival of Remus'. They're more bantering and small talk in this one. I'm trying to get more scenes with Remus and Adhara. I promise there will be more.


"It's like I want you to look at me.

But I turn my head.

Every time you do."


James' hazel eyes narrowed at him, watching him with wariness. "What's with the change of heart?" he asked as he crossed his arms.

Sirius being the arse that he is said: "Because I'm just glad it isn't you," to James earning him a punch on the shoulder. "No, really. Remus is the best out of all of us. So, if I had to pick any of you gits to be my new brother-in-law it would him."

This is the most that any of them had have a 'moment' since they found out Remus is a werewolf last year.

"I'm not one to boast," Remus started, breaking the awkwardness, "but I'm glad to finally be recognized for my amazingness."

"Hey, I'm a good catch," James argued, clearly ignoring the fact that Sirius accepted the werewolf as his sister's love interest.

"Said the guy who earned a hex from his crush," Sirius teased.

"Oi, I like 'em feisty," James grinned. "And I do not fancy Lily. I just appreciate her beauty." Sirius and Remus both shared a look, not believing James. It became obvious since last year that James became a bit too infatuated by the redhead since she was not like the others. Now adding the fact that puberty is kicking in with the bispecaled boy and Lily 'blossomed' over the summer, it would be in no time James would ask her to Hogsmeade.

"So," Sirius began, changing the subject. He faced Remus. "How have you been wooing my Addie?"

"Well, since Remus is Remus," James explained with a sigh, "We have to move at his pace."

"So, nothing at all?" Peter guessed making Sirius snicker. Peter may be a bit more quiet and submissive out of all of them but he has his moments that made Sirius glad to have him around.

"I would like to be friends first," Remus clarified. That was the only logical way for him to even date someone. He couldn't be like Sirius who just snogged a girl because she's fit. Remus would like to fancy her personality—as cliché as that sounds—before perusing something romantic. Being comfortable around them would make the relationship go smoother.

"But you don't need her to see you as a friend," Sirius said.

"Hey, my parents are best friends," Peter admitted, trying to reassure Remus.

"See, Lily and my plan is working," James said with a smug grin. "They are talking more and sometimes she would seek him out."

Sirius thought back to how Remus acted around Adhara in the past. He was not trying to attract attention like James (let's admit, the bloke is an attention hog). He acted the same way he did with others who was not part of their group—yet more approachable. Remus rarely showed his mischievous side to anyone but his friends. He didn't joke around much with her. All he's done was lend an ear when she was down.

"You're not fully yourself with her," Sirius deducted.

"What?"

"How she supposed to see you as more than her friend if that's all you are to her," he clarified. "Just some nice bloke who lends an ear when she fights with her brother or her secret boyfriend."

"Because brides like friendly blokes," James said like it was obvious.

"Do not call Addie a bird," Sirius demanded. "And I know how girls think—

"—oh really?" James scoffed. "And from what expertise? Marlene's the only girl you snogged."

"Don't forget about Donna Milligan," Sirius corrected him. Donna was a shy and adorable Hufflepuff that was easy to persuade into a broom closet with him. "I think you should try some light flirting and see how she reacts."

"Oh really?" Remus never flirted in his life and he does not know if he wants to start now and fail horribly at it.

"Yeah, I mean, Fabian was not "friendly" with her when they met. He was bloody flirting. There is a difference."

"I'm no poof but maybe it has something to do with his looks," James guessed. He's not blind. He's seen the way girls giggle when the cocky redhead smirks or even walks by them.

Sirius had to agree. Even he is now the subject of giggly girls, too. "Remus' a handsome fella," Sirius said, not bothering to be ashamed to call another bloke good looking.

"Lily told me that Addie may be realizing that Prewitt is not all what she thought," he added. "She's young so she'll soon realize that it's not all about the looks."

"Said the bloke who made out with Marlene just because she grew a pair of knockers," James commented.

"And stalking Zuri because she's "exotically" fit," Remus added. His eyes may be only glued to Adhara but that didn't mean he didn't notice who's aesthetically pleasing.

"How is she exotic?" Peter asked.

"Well, maybe the lack of diversity at Hogwarts for one thing," Remus said.

"Can't blame a bloke for noticing how wicked she looks," Sirius shrugged. Zuri stood out from the rest of the girls. She is taller than most of them her age with long legs, thick coily hair, and peculiar eyes. Her attitude was also another bonus since that what attracted him most to girl. That's why he had an interest in Marlene since she had a similar one. "And I thought Marlene was cute since last year. But that is beside the point."

"What is the point?"

"The point is that you should appear more than just a friendly bloke," Sirius explained. "You have to be your funny, awesome self. Luckily you have me."

"And why is it lucky that I have you?"

"Must I explain everything?" Sirius groaned. "The only way you can talk to Addie majority of the time is when I am around since it would look suspicious. She can't be seen with a bloke a lot—especially a half-blood Gryffindor—when she's betrothed."

"And have you thought this through?" Peter asked Remus who gave him a confused expression. "I mean, she's betrothed. If she's in a secret relationship with Prewitt, it could be the same with you. Do you want that? And what if she never breaks the engagement?"

All three boys stared at the pudgy boy with awe. They were expecting more of an obvious question that had no significant importance but Peter had his moments when he surprised the group. "What?" he squeaked with pink chinks not use to so much attention from them all at once.

"Peter has a point," James agreed with eyes still wide. "Are you okay with being her secret?"

Remus laid on his bed. He stared at the ceiling. He never put much thought into who she is. He was only like twelve or thirteen when he realized that he fancies Adhara instead of him only being content with just watching her (is he a stalker?). But does he want to be in the same predicament as Fabian? He never thought about if somehow Adhara would come to fancy him Remus would have remain a secret. That she would not out herself and risk punishment from her parents. But then his thoughts went back to Prewitt. He surely didn't want to stay a secret for long meaning that Adhara would have gave him a hint that she would make them public. Ugh, why is this so difficult?

Remus sighed. "The Heart wants what it wants - or else it does not care," he quotes Emily Dickinson. He recalled his mother reciting that phrase when she explained why she fell in love with his father, not caring that he is a wizard.

"I think we lost him," James said noticing the dopey smile Remus wore.

"Well, how 'bout we start planning for G.R.A.T?" Sirius said with a sly smirk.

"G.R.A.T?"

"Get Remus and Adhara Together, duh."

"Yeah, because I should have known what that meant."


"Why are you staring at Lupin?" Severus watched the Hufflepuff yet again glance over at the tall Gryffindor who did the same when he thought she was not looking. Regulus asked for him to keep an eye on Adhara since Thomas wouldn't be there to reel her in. The Slytherin scoffed. Like Higgs could ever reel Adhara in when his wrapped around her finger. He might have fooled the other into thinking he's this nonchalant bloke who's always charming but Severus sees through it.

Adhara involuntarily blushed at being caught. Severus raised an eyebrow at her reaction.

"Um," her eyes went back to her astronomy chart in her hands. She has yet to done any work. She shrugged instead. Adhara didn't trust herself into not making a fool of herself.

"Did something…happen?" Severus is not one for gossip but if it has anything to do with his ally's reputation he will interfere. He had to warn Regulus if something is amiss.

"No," she said quickly, obviously a lie.

Severus glanced back at Lupin to see that he was gazing at Adhara. That's when he noticed he was being watched. Both boys locked eyes before he turned back to his group of friends.

Interesting, Severus thought.

"You shouldn't be associated with him," Severus warned her. He wasn't surprised to see her point a glare at him.

"I could say the same thing about you with Lily." Touché.

"You're betrothed," he reminded her. "You shouldn't be so friendly with other boys—besides myself since I'm looking out for you for your best interest." And his, but he won't add that.

"Remus and I are friends," she said. "Just like you and Lily."

"Oh? You're on a first name basis with him?"

"We're friends." Deciding that she's done with this conversation, she walked off to the edge of the Astronomy tower to get a better look at the stars. Behind her she hears, "He may be a 'sweet and chivalrous' but don't let that fool you."

All through the lecture Remus zoned out. It was two days before the full moon and all the werewolf wanted to do was curl up in his bed with a hot mug of hot chocolate. He's been staring at his astronomy chart for almost ten minutes along with glancing at Adhara at the same time. Remus tried to stay alert (yet failing) ever since Sirius found out about his crush and wanted to help. Lily, at least, tried to be concrete about it but James and Sirius…

Sirius attempted to find any way possible to pull Adhara over for last two days. It didn't help his confidence when Adhara would make an excuse. Remus knew why. It was obvious she was still avoiding him.

He closed his eyes and struggled to clear his thoughts. A few days before, his senses were always on overdrive. It didn't help with being in a room full of hormonal teenagers. Luckily, they were in the tower with the night's wind blowing through. He sighed at the familiar smell of nature filling his nostrils. His attention piqued when his ears picked up on a rapid heartbeat that seemed to be closing in on him. He thought it would be one of his mates excited to tell him a joke. He glanced over at Sirius to see him struggling to flirt with Zuri so he set his sights back on Marlene (did Sirius forget that both Ravenclaws are best friends?) and James trying to talk to Lily who ignored him. Peter was too busy trying to find Vega of Lyra.

The subtle scent of petrichor—a delicate earthy scent that reminded him of the quidditch pitch on a rainy day—wafted into his senses. The same one that was shared with James and Sirius. But this one had a small but significant difference that made the werewolf's eyes widened. This earthy scent had a sweet yet earthy scent that reminded him of… roasted cacao beans. Remus couldn't control his mouth from watering.

"Remus?" he flinched at the sudden voice. His mind too busy basking in the smell of the scent instead of trying to find the person. The Gryffindor turned around and instantly stilled at the sight of Adhara. "You okay? You seemed pretty disoriented."

He smiled sheepishly. She did just catch him sniffing the air with his eyes clothes as if he smelled his mum's famous (only to the Lupins) chocolate cake. "Um, I'm just a bit tired," he said.

Her grey eyes peered up at him full of concern. She furrowed her eyebrows in the same way that Lily do but with Adhara he felt relaxed. "You should probably go to Madam Pomfrey's and get a pepper up potion after class."

Remus shrugged, trying to hide his happiness of her concern over him.

She didn't take that as an adequate answer. Adhara put both hands on her hips and narrowed her eyes at the werewolf. He knew that she was trying to appear intimidating but Adhara failed instead looking quite adorable. "I will drag you there if I have to."

Thinking about the advice that Sirius gave him, he thought it would be best to act on them. "Well, it's no punishment if a beautiful Hufflepuff drags me there," he flirts—well, attempted and seeing how Adhara is reacting he's failing. This is what happens when he overthinks and follows his friends' advice. He quickly said, "I'm sorry—well, not technically since I did compliment you but—," he cut himself off when he noticed that Adhara was laughing.

She covered her mouth as she giggled at Remus' embarrassment. "Sorry," she said. Remus waited for Adhara to collect herself. A smile still her face as she said, "I'm sorry."

"For what?"

She rolled her eyes. "How 'bout…avoiding you?"

Remus didn't bother fighting the smile that formed on his cheeks. He was dreading the last few days since James and Sirius tried to force Adhara to talk to Remus. He rather not makes her uncomfortable. So, seeing her walking to him and speaking to him on her own accord lifted his spirits and made him forget that a full moon was in two days. Remus watched with amusement as Adhara fidgeted. She avoided eye contact as she nibbled on her lower lip. Her hands fisted making her parchment wrinkle.

"Avoiding me? I haven't noticed," Remus teased her. Adhara glanced around at their class mates before stepping forward so that they were closer. Majority of the time, Remus loathed the moon but as of now he wished the half moon was out to shed light into the Astronomy Tower so he can get a better look of her reaction to him. Both fourth years leaned against the stoned wall.

"Look," she feints seriousness. "You caught me off guard. This is the second time you did that. We shouldn't make this a habit."

"Oh? And here I thought girls loved to be called beautiful on occasion," he said with a joking tone. Remus was gifted with the sight of her cheeks reddening and her wide eyes. She must have not expected Remus to reply in such a way. Sirius was right (he would never admit it. His head is already too big).

"Well, this is different," she quickly said. "I don't want any compliments," she lied.

"Well, I hate to break the news," Remus replied. "But that's a perk of being my mate. You get unwanted compliments. Take it or leave it."

Adhara raised an eyebrow. "I don't see you giving unwarranted compliments to your group of troublemakers," she pointed over at them.

"You see how they act when girls start giggling at them," Remus explained. "They don't need their head to be bigger than it already is."

"Well, I would like to apologize for avoiding you," she told Remus. "I was just caught off guard and thinking of…some other things."

Remus decided to change the subject for the both of them. He was struggling to come up with another topic to banter over as he mulled over his astronomy chart. He was too deep into his thoughts that he did not notice Adhara stepped closer to him to look at his star chart. He broke out of his thoughts when the top of her head brushed against his chin as she leaned over his class work.

"Having trouble?" she asked.

"Um," was all he could say. What else could Remus say when his senses were on overdrive and all he could smell was the Hufflepuff beside him. "Not really. I'm just…tired." She nodded, believing him. Adhara glanced back to the other students. Remus noticed that she stilled when she caught sight of Snape watching them. It was as if they were communicating with only their eyes. They must be close friends for them to that since Remus sometimes does the same with James and Sirius. Peter can be a bit behind when they try to non-verbally speak to him.

"Something wrong?" he asked her.

"Um," she glanced back up at him before looking back at Snape who gave her another 'look' before turning back to his Slytherin classmate. "Is there any particular reason why Snape does not like you?"

If Remus expected anyone to get in the way, he had it in order. Prewitt. Regulus Black. Higgs.

Snape was not even on his mind when it came to Adhara. But he shouldn't have been that surprised. The pair are good friends. They may not talk about irrelevant things since Snape seems like the type to dismiss someone who spoke about anything that he couldn't gain from**.

"Is there anyone he does like?" he countered back.

"Well, he likes Regulus and me," she retorted with a smile.

"Well, I do not know your little brother that well," Remus said, "But it can be pretty difficult to not like you—or any Hufflepuff on that matter." The werewolf avoided eye contact as he felt his whole face reddened. He peeked at Adhara to see she was reacting the same way.

"R-Remus?" both flinched at the sudden intrusion. They turned around to see Mary MacDonald smiling at them—well, Remus. "I seem to cannot find the Lyra star. Can you help me?" her voice was sickly sweet as she batted her eyelashes at the werewolf.

Adhara stepped back as Mary came between her and Remus. The werewolf was a bit confused why Mary asked him instead of her own friend, Adhara, who probably learned this since they were babies. It was also peculiar on how close she was standing to him as she tried to find the star for her. He looked down at this own chart which he had not even filled out. Remus looked up into the night sky full of stars yet his mind couldn't fathom which one was Lyra.

"Head in the clouds, Remus?" Mary asked as she laid her hand on his arm.

"Yeah," he said. "Can't seem to concentrate today." He noticed that her hand was still on his arm.

Feeling like a third wheel, Adhara began to leave and head toward her brother but Remus called out to her. He needed to get rid of Mary, who for some reason is clinging on to him smiling like a mad woman.

"Adhara, can you help us?" he asked her. The Hufflepuff swore that she saw Mary frown at that. She tried to recall if she offended her over the last couple of days but nothing seemed to come to mind. "Sure," she said. Her star chart was almost done. She was not the person to just hand over her classwork. That defeats the purpose of learning.

It didn't take long for Mary to find the constellations after Adhara showed her one star. Remus found how strange that was. He hopd she would of left by now but she still lingered making small talk. It is not as if Remus didn't want to speak to her but as of now he wanted alone time with Adhara since it could be a rare occurrence.

"So, have you listened to that album I gave you?" she asked him.

"What album?" Adhara asked. Remus was pleased to see that she was still there.

"The Dark Side of the Moon," Mary said with a frown. "By Pink Floyd. Bet you haven't heard of them since your family do hate anything muggleborn?" it was more of an accusation than a question.

"Well, actually Sirius has been hogging the record from me ever since he listened to with me," Remus admits. Sirius didn't even hear of the band until he walked in on Remus listening to it a week ago. It was love at first sound for the Pureblood and he hasn't given up the album ever since. "That is his type of music." It became more of his type of music. Being a Pureblood along with James, didn't make them aware of the trending music. This was the first time they listened to recent music since all they've been listening to was The Beatles who broke up four years ago.

"What type of music do you like?" Adhara asked Remus. She recalled him saying that he enjoyed listening to the same type of music as Zuri—muggle music. "The Beatles, right?"

Remus shrugged with a small smile on his face. He was glad to see her take an interest in him. He tried to school his expression since it seems as if Mary is watching him too closely. "I enjoy their music but I prefer their music when they broke up, too." He chuckled when Adhara's eyes widened.

"They split up?" he nodded. "Why?"

"Who knows. But I do enjoy George Harrison's music and John Lennon's," he said.

"What else?" Mary asked.

"It varies. I like blues, jazz, and, of course, rock," Remus said.

"He likes Elton John," the disgust in Sirius' voice was evident.

"What's wrong with Elton John?" Zuri and Lily asked. Both girls glared at the Pureblood. Sirius scoffed, clearly disappointed in the Ravenclaw's defensive look.

"You like that poof?"

The girl rolled her eyes at Sirius. "How do you know he is one? And is that a reason to not like him? He's creative and I love creative music." Lily nodded, with agreement. Sirius turned to James for support but clearly didn't get it when Lily was staring at him with a scowl.

"I think you would actually like him, Adhara," Remus told her.

"Yeah," James agreed. "You would so like the music Remus listens to."

"You should let her borrow a few of your records," Sirius offered for the werewolf. Remus knew his mates was being too obvious from the way Mary was staring at him suspiciously.

Adhara was oblivious. "Okay," she said. "We can also restart our book club," she added.


Adhara knew she should not be surprised but couldn't help herself when she noticed that a certain Gryffindor was missing.

"He's sick," was all James and Sirius would give her. She listened to the The Freewheelin Bob Dylan record that she borrowed from Remus. It was not her usual taste but this Bob Dylan bloke grew on her more than James' record of My Generation by The Who. She was excited to share the news of what she thought but came up disappointed with Remus' absence. Everyone seemed paired off but Peter and Rosemary (her housemate). Adhara hates to be mean but she didn't feel like doing all the work if paired with Peter. She was about to walk over to Rosemary but was stopped by a hand that suddenly grabbed her.

"Oi," Sirius growled at the Hufflepuff that grabbed his twin.

"Oh, sorry, mate," the boy chuckled. Adhara recognized him as soon as she turned around. It was Olivia Halifax's cousin. He grinned at the pair of them, not bothered by the glare Sirius was giving him. "Wanna' be partners? I heard you're good at it—

"—how about you bugger off—

"—I would be Rosemary's but all she does is giggle. I know I'm gorgeous but I do like stimulating conversation," he rambled on, ignoring Sirius. "I would ask Peter but, no offense, I heard he's crud at Potions so that leaves you."

"Do you even know this, bloke?" James asked, a glare pointed at the boy. Adhara did. He is Jasper Halifax. They're teammates. He's been a reserve player for the chaser position since second year but has finally improved enough to be a regular now. So they talk enough to be well-acquainted with each other. Out of all the quidditch members, he was the only one that she befriended. The guy was goofy—almost as much as James—but still a nice guy.

"Duh," Jasper said to James. He slung his arm around the petite girl's shoulder. "We're housemates and teammates. Now, how 'bout it, Epsilon Canis Majoris?" Both the Black Twins raised an eyebrow at that. James and Peter confused by the 'nickname' Jasper gave Adhara. "What? I think it's a cute nickname."

"More like a mouthful," Adhara said. She pulled herself from Jasper and made her way to an empty table.

"Later, alligators," Jasper waved off to the Gryffindors before following his housemates/teammate.

"So, what's the real reason you want to by my partner?" she asked Jasper. Adhara may be oblivious to some things but to others she can be quite aware. She known Jasper since second year when they both tried out for the seeker position but he switched to Chaser.

"Well, besides gracing you with my glowing presence," Jasper teased with a wink. "I also in need of a wing-woman."

"Wing-woman?"

"Yes, and you're my only hope in winning the heart of my one true love—well three of my one true loves."

"How am I you're only hope?" Adhara asked him. A smile on her face because of his theatrics. Being with him was almost as if being in the same presence as James and Olivia combined—with his shared traits of his cousin and personality of James'. He stood at the same height as Remus' with dirty blonde hair, big expressive brown eyes, and a dopey smile. "And didn't you say last year that girls are a distraction from quidditch."

"Ah, freckles, I was a boy then."

"And what are you now?"

"A man, of course!" he boasted. "Seeing such beautiful young ladies blossoming over the summer made me more aware of their beauty."

Sounds just like Sirius, she thought with a sigh.

"Aren't you 'charming' enough to speak for yourself to these 'blossoming young ladies'?" Adhara asked him.

"Well, these ladies are not falling for my charm," he admits. "Which makes the challenge more thrilling."

"I'm friends with them, aren't I?" she guessed. That had to be the only reason he is speaking to her outside of quidditch practice. He would greet her in the halls and at class but they never had a full conversation.

"Yes," he admitted, "And I just knew that they are worthy since they are friends with my fellow housemate." Adhara rolled her eyes at the ridiculous boy. When Professor Slughorn finally walked in, she gave her attention to the stout man.

"What do you think they are talking about," James whispered to Sirius as they both eyed the pair of Hufflepuffs. Both was suspicious of Halifax's sudden interest in Adhara.

"It's our genes," Sirius said, voice serious. "It's a blessing and a curse. She's luring the boys in."

"Shut up," James scoffed, sometimes Sirius can be a narcissistic bloke.

"Maybe we should warn Remus about this," Peter said.

"We don't want to get him worried for nothing," James said.

"But look at him," Sirius points at them. "He's obviously flirting with her."

"He's probably being friendly," said James.


It was rare. For the first time in a long time, Remus woke up the morning after the full moon refreshed. Well, not refreshed, but his body was not full of aches as usual.

"You'll heal quicker than usual today," the nurse told him when she noticed he was awake. Pomfrey informed the werewolf that he did not have as much visible scratches as usual. She handed him a vile of potion for him to drink. It didn't take long for the quiet infirmary to be filled with noise. His mates came in twenty minutes later.

"Remus! You don't look like a ghoul anymore," James said with relief.

"I have you know, I could make quite the handsome ghoul," he retorted.

"Well, at least you look healthier," a soft voice said from behind the group of boys. His cheek reddened when the boys parted to show Adhara there with a concerned expression on. "I have so much to tell you," she squealed. Remus sat himself up and covered himself with the cover. This was the second time Adhara has visited him and he looked horrid. Remus may be tired but he could spare a few minutes for Adhara.

"I take it you like Bob Dylan?" he asked her. She nodded, head bobbing quickly. "I think you will enjoy John Lennon, then."

Adhara beamed at his suggestions. She pushed passed James and Sirius to sit down on the edge of the bed. "You don't mind." he shook his head. She pulled out a few parchments. "I wrote some notes since James and Sirius' handwriting is atrocious."

"Nice vocabulary," Sirius teased. "Guess what, Remus?"

"What?"

"Addie, here, has a new admirer," James snickered. Remus was pretty sure he heard the Hufflepuff growl at them. "What? It's true! He's following you around everywhere. What did you do to him?"

"It's our charms, I told ya," Sirius smirked.

"I told you that he wants me to match him with my friend—

"—which one?" Peter asked.

"It better not be Lily," James mood darkened.

"Like you have a chance with that goody-two shoes," Sirius said.

"Who are we talking about?" Remus asked.

"Jasper Halifax."

Remus furrowed his eyebrows as he tried to put a face to the name. He did just wake up about twenty minutes ago. The memory finally came. Tall, dorky lanky kid with messy hair and who's always making jokes. They only partnered a few times in Charms class in the past but never talked outside of class.

"He's the chaser for Hufflepuff, correct?" he asked Adhara who nodded. He looked over at his sulking friends. They clearly didn't like the guy for some nonsense reason. "I'm surprised you guys don't like him. He seems like your type."

"My type?" both boys scoffed.

"I have you know, if I liked boys I would go for the pretty ones," Sirius said. He didn't dare show disgust of being joked about liking other guys. He's comfortable with his sexuality and didn't need to prove it. James on the other hand was not the same way.

"Uck, like I could even like a bloke," he shuddered at the thought.

Adhara rolled her eyes at their dramatics. "He meant you both are the same as Jasper. Always joking around and thinking your hot stuff," she explained.

"If he was in Gryffindor, I bet we would have been friends sooner," Remus added. The werewolf would not mind being friends with Jasper. He's pretty cool but kind of talks too much and doesn't make any sense half of the time. Remus thoughts went back to why they were talking about Halifax in the first place. "He's your admirer?" he asked Adhara.

"No," she quickly denied. "He's trying to get me to set him up with a friend."

"Which one?" Peter asked.

"I promised not to tell," she said she said for the umpteenth time. "Now, how about we get started on how much I love this album," Adhara said to the werewolf.

Sirius rolled his eyes at them. He signalled to James and Peter that they should leave the lovebirds alone. Also, he did not want to hear about how much his sister loves Bob Dylan. It was not his type of music.
