Loralei had been busy all day, having people come in and answer a few questions before showing her what they could do to get into their defense program. Someone usually sat with her, just so she could have some company. She hadn't eaten anything since breakfast early that morning, and it was four in the afternoon.
Lily was sitting with her now, as some Hufflepuff walked in. She had black hair and olive skin, she sat in the chair in front of the two girls, but had a table between them.
"Name?" Loralei asked.
"Honor Feltig." She said. "Fifth year Hufflepuff."
Loralei nodded as she wrote down the name on one of the four lists. One for each house, though the Slytherin one was empty. "What defense have you been taught?"
"A few defensive spells, about dangerous creatures and how to stop them. Normal things fifth years know, I guess." She said.
Loralei nodded. "I can accept that." She folded her hands on the table in front of her. "Why do you want to join this group?"
Honor seemed surprised by the question. "Because my father is an Auror and he used to teach me things when he could. He died last summer in a raid."
Loralei nodded, understanding. "I know how that feels."
Honor nodded. "I know."
"What do you want your career to be?" Loralei asked.
"Auror, just like my dad." Honor said proudly, her back straightening.
Loralei smiled. "I'm sure he'd be proud. What's your blood status?"
"Half blood, my mom's a muggle." She told Loralei. "Does it matter?"
"No, just curiosity. You're sitting with a pureblood and a muggle born here." Loralei told her, smiling.
Honor nodded. "So, how will I know I'm in?"
"You already are. A note will appear under your pillow the night before the meeting." Loralei told her, putting a check next to her name.
"How many do you have so far?" Honor asked.
"Twenty-five." Loralei answered. "Most from the upper classes."
Honor nodded. "Are you teaching?"
"Among others." Loralei said, thinking about the letter she sent Fab earlier. "I'm hoping that I can get people that know certain things to teach, and we share our knowledge."
"Do you want me to write down what my dad taught me?" She asked, a smile spreading across her face.
Loralei smiled sweetly. "Well, since you mentioned it. Please bring it next meeting, or whenever you see me in the halls or something."
"Okay." She nodded.
"You can go, you're already in, sweetie." Loralei told her. "Can you send the next in? Bonus points if you look like I tore you to pieces."
"Thanks." Honor said, shaking her head happily before turning and walking out.
"Only twenty-five have come in?" Lily asked.
"No, I only let twenty-five in." Loralei replied. "Remus was here for when a Slytherin came in calling muggle born's mudbloods."
"Wow, what did you do?"
"Gave him an interview, and when he showed us what defensive and offensive spells, I told him he flunked."
"And?
"And I was called a few things I'd rather not repeat." Loralei told her, though a smile was on her face. "Mel was the first one in, and we just talked for about fifteen minutes before I let her out."
"Just to scare people?"
Loralei gave her a weird look, as if to say, "obviously."
Lily shook her head. "You're having too much fun with this."
"Duh. I like having fun in menial tasks everyone has decided I do best out of everyone." She said, sass in her tone.
Lily rolled her eyes. "Come on, when I walked in there was only ten in line."
"Well half of them were here earlier to see Remus, James and Sirius. They're going to be disappointed when it's the two of us in here." Loralei told her. "I swear, one of them was hitting on Sirius right in front of me."
"How did he handle that?"
"He put his arm around me." Loralei told her happily.
"No worries about what he did last time?"
Loralei shook her head. "I don't think so."
"I swear, one of us better be one of the head girls or boys next year." Loralei told them, it was a Friday night, and they were working on what they should do for lessons. They were all laying on their stomachs in a circle in front of the fire. It was pretty late, so almost everyone from third year and below were asleep in their beds.
"Why?" Peter asked.
"Because there's too many people around. If one of us is the head girl or boy, then they have their own quarters, and they will let us use it." Loralei told him, before turning to Lily. "It's down to you and Remus."
"No pressure or anything." Remus said sarcastically.
Loralei grinned. "Full pressure. Suck up to Dumbledore, you two."
Lily rolled her eyes. "Why do we have to?" She whined.
"Did you not listen to my reasons before?" Loralei asked, fake annoyance in her voice.
"No, I just tune your voice out when you go on for a while." Lily told her.
Loralei smacked her friend's shoulder. "I hate you."
"I hate you too."
"Bitch."
"Whore."
"Kidding, I love you." Loralei hugged her friend.
"I love you more." Lily hugged her back. "Don't leave me."
"I'll never leave you." Loralei promised.
Peter clapped his hands once. "Lesbians."
Everyone started laughing.
"Did you hear that Siri?" Loralei asked. "Lily's the girl for me." She hooked her leg around Lily's hip.
"But you love me." He pouted.
Loralei unhooked herself from Lily. "You know I do." She crawled forward to kiss him lightly as little balls of paper was thrown at their faces.
"My sister." James groaned as he face-palmed.
"Enough." Lily pulled the back of Loralei's shirt back.
Loralei didn't fight it, she just giggled in response. "What? My boyfriend's hot." She put on her ditzy voice.
"Get a room next time." James told her. "I don't need to see my sister making out with one of my best friends."
"How about two?" Loralei pulled Remus towards her, pretending she was about to kiss him. A hand appeared between their faces, and to her surprise it wasn't her brother's. It was Sirius'.
"Merlin." Loralei kissed his palm. "I was kidding."
"You don't half ass things." Sirius said. "I know."
Loralei rolled her eyes. "You're the only one for me." She batted her eyes at him as she released Remus, who rolled his eyes.
"Don't worry Padfoot. She's like my sister." Remus told him. "Just let her do what she wants, she'll get over it."
"Hey! 'She' is right here!" Loralei told him. "Don't talk like I'm not here!"
"Oh, hello, didn't see you there." Remus said, as he looked toward Loralei.
She smacked his shoulder. "How nice."
"I knew you were there." Sirius told her.
"Aw, thanks love." Loralei crawled forward to kiss him again.
And they were pulled apart again.
