(A/N): Hey Guys! So, I should be doing work right now... oops.

Disclaimer: I own nothing you recognise.

Leo

Elaine and I had sat in the Room of Requirement for about ten minutes waiting for Remus before realising that he wasn't simply running late.

After, Elaine gave me permission- pfft, like I needed her permission- to eavesdrop, and see whatever devious schemes he was planning.

Honing my hearing, I quickly located Remus, slightly surprised to find him with James, Sirius, Peter, and, more shockingly, Lily.

"They kidnapped her again." I told Elaine with a chuckle, and she looked confused.

"Her?" I backpedalled, remembering that she couldn't hear what I could.

"Remus is with the Marauder boys, they kidnapped Lily." She made a sound of understanding before raising an eyebrow.

"Those boys are going to grow up to be criminals, you can just taste it." I shrugged, focusing on the other conversation once more.

"They're talking about how Severus knew..." I breathed a sigh of relief, a small smile blooming on my lips.

"Lily didn't tell him." Not that I had thought she had, but it was a relief to make sure that she hadn't.

"I didn't think she would." Elaine agreed, watching my reactions carefully.

"Oh." I muttered absent mindedly, and Elaine raised an eyebrow.

"What? What happened?" I waved her off for a second, before a grin spread across my lips.

"They know that James knows... and Remus made a funny." She rolled her eyes, whacking me on the shoulder.

"Boys! You had me worried, you clod." I smirked at her, grabbing her hand and spinning her in a circle before focusing again.

"They're leaving now... Remus will be coming back soon." I looked up at her, only to realise she was only a foot away.

"Uh..." She mumbled, and I cleared my throat, moving away from her quickly.

"Sorry." I shot her an apologetic look before sitting down, flicking through a book that so happened to be in front of me, not even bothering to scan the pages, though I could still feel her staring at me.

"Leo..." I cut her, standing up and moving towards the door quickly.

"I'll be back." She caught my hand, the other one planting against the door so she was full up in my face, blocking my way out.

"What. Is. Wrong?" She asked, and I rolled my eyes before pulling the door open, despite her having her full weight against it, catching her around the waist as she was flung back before releasing her quickly, just so she wouldn't hit the floor.

"I'll be back." I told her again, shutting the door behind me quickly, taking a deep breath and racing through the castle and out into the grounds.

Remus

As I entered the Room of Requirement after having kidnapped Lily with the other boys, Elaine was sitting on the floor, her wall against the wall by the door, chin resting on her knees.

"Elaine...?" Her head snapped up, and I saw the wet streaks of tears on her cheeks, and she immediately moved to wipe them away. "Elaine..." I whispered, and she stood up quickly, moving over to the table where a book still lay, half open.

"Afternoon Moony." She said brightly, though I could hear the hurt in her voice, and crossed to her side, immediately wrapping my arms around her tightly.

"What did he do now?" She stiffened, before sniffling.

"He didn't do anything... that's exactly what he did." I was confused, but took her word for it anyway.

"Well... he's a git." She giggled quietly, though the sound was sort of watery due to the tears that were still flowing, though slower.

"How was your kidnapping session?" Now it was my turn to freeze, my eyes fluttering closed for a second.

"Leo eavesdropped...?" She nodded, smiling slightly as she pulled away, throwing a book to me.

"It's what he does best." She reminded me, raising an eyebrow quietly, gesturing with her head out of the window, where the Forbidden forest could be seen.

"Ah." He could hear us, then. Probably. I don't really know how strong vampire senses are, but if he had been able to hear our conversation when we had kidnapped Lily, I had very little doubt that he could hear us anything less than perfectly now. "We need to get him a collar with a little bell on it." I suggested with a small smile, and Elaine coughed lightly, trying to hide a laugh.

"Might make him look a little butch..." She said, glancing to the ceiling as if picturing it in her minds eye.

"Yep, yep, definitely butch."

(A/N): So, what did you think?

I know it's short, and that it ended abruptly, but...

I find it hard to focus when my boyfriend and his friends are nearby, they tend to be... distracting, to say the least. :P
