The next morning, Remus was surprised to see Sirius and James already up and awake, sitting on his bed. He usually had to wake the dog up, at least, more specifically on weekends.

"Why are you two up so early, Siri?", he slurred.

Sirius blushed. Remus just looked too adorable with his hair sticking up, and his wolf-like nose twitching. James smirked at the dog.

"Sirius?" Remus sat up, worried that Sirius hadn't said anything.

"Merlin, are you alright?" The werewolf sat on the bed beside his friends.

Sirius glared at a chuckling James, both realizing Remus was referring to the dog's red cheeks.

"I'm fine, Remus. I just-"

The werewolf put his hand on Sirius' forehead, and the boy blushed deeper. Remus shook his head.

"Are you sure, Siri? You're really hot."

James wolf-whistled, and Remus hit him with his pillow. With a red face that now matched Sirius', Remus glared.

"I meant his temperature, Prongs!"

"Oi, Black! I know you hear me!"

Lily was knocking on their dorm room door.

"Time to go!"

Remus raised an eyebrow at the dog. "Where are you two going?"

Sirius shook his head. "Nowhere important, really. Just Hogsmeade."

"Oh." Remus bit his lip. "I thought we were supposed to go to Hogsmeade, today."

"We still can-!"

"I don't have all day, Black!"

The boys flinched.

"Just not today, Rem. Next weekend, okay?"

The werewolf looked away. "Yeah."

Sirius smiled, and quickly left the dorm.

When he was gone, James turned to the other boy, and grinned. Remus cocked his head.

"What?"

"Why so down, Moony?"

Remus sighed. "I just...really wanted to go to Hogsmeade, is all."

James smirked. Like hell you did.

"So, why don't we go, then?"

Remus turned a light pink, and shook his head.

"Not really in the mood, now."

"Well, Sirius sure seems to put you in the mood..."

Remus snapped his head to look at a scheming James.

"Wha...what are you talking back?"

"Oh, just you're not-so-obvious crush on Padfoot."

Remus blushed. "James, I don't-"

"Maybe, I'll just go tell him..."

"No!"

James smirked at a blushing, frantic Remus.

"Okay, I'm crushing on Sirius, alright? But you can't tell him! It's just a stupid crush, anyway. I'll...I'll get over it."

James patted the werewolf's back.

"Moony...is it honestly just a crush?"

The werewolf gave him a glare that could cut through steel.

"Yes."

The animagus raised his hands in defeat. They sat in silence for a minute, before Remus couldn't take it anymore.

"Do you think Siri and Evans are dating?", he blurted.

James stared at his friend, before bursting into laughter. Remus began hitting him with his pillow, again.

"James, I'm serious! I...he can't be dating her."

James ceased laughing, and cocked his head. "Moony..."

"He just can't be!"

"Remus, you know no one can date my precious Lily-flower, but me."

Remus snorted in disbelief.

Peter sat up from his bed. "Would you two keep it down!"

The rat settled back into his covers.

"He needs all the beauty sleep, he can get.", James mumbled.

Remus snickered, and Peter flicked them the bird.

Suddenly, all worries were forgotten...for the time being.
