(A/N): I think this is my first chapter with absolutely no PoV!

Disclaimer: I own nothing you recognise.

The time before the end of term went quickly and uneventfully, and soon enough, there was only one week left.

The group gathered in the boys dormitory, some air freshener having been sprayed in advance for the girls.

"Once you get past the stench of month old gym shorts, it isn't so bad in here." Elaine teased, but Leo rolled his eyes at her from his bed.

"None of that is me, nor is it Remus. Blame the Hardy Boys over there." He said, gesturing to Sirius, James and Peter, who were playing cards between Peter and Sirius's bed's.

"Oh, we are." Lily said, nodding sharply, her eyes wide.

"Hey!" James objected weakly, too engrossed in losing at cards to really care.

"The one time he isn't hanging on my every word." She muttered, and Remus raised an eyebrow at her from his bed.

"Jealous, Lils?" She half-glared at him.

"Of course not!" She said, but it wasn't very convincing.

"I think someone misses the attention of a certain misfit." Peter sang, slightly off-key, shooting her a weak smile to show that he didn't actually mean it, but he brought up a good, and true, point nonetheless.

"Who wouldn't?" Sirius murmured, nudging James with his shoulder.

"What?" James said, looking up for the first time. "Huh?" Leo shook his head, smiling fondly at the boy.

"Don't worry about it Prongs." James glanced at the others before shrugging and returning his attention to the game at hand.

"Only a week till the end of term, I can't believe it!" Lily exclaimed, probably trying to change the subject, and Remus replied, not looking up from his book and chocolate bar.

"I can. This was a long arse year." Leo raised an eyebrow at him.

"I love it when you swear." Remus looked at him from over the book, one eyebrow raised, but Leo only batted his eyelashes at him.

"Okay... If we're done with the odd flirting-" Peter cut her off.

"You just wish he was flirting with you." Elaine gaped at him, while Leo pretended like he hadn't heard him.

"You swear so rarely, it's funny when you do." Lily rolled her eyes at the two, Elaine's face now beet red.

"Yes!" Sirius cried as he lay down his winning hand, and the other boys groaned.

"I hate this game." James muttered, and Lily raised an eyebrow.

"What's it even called?" Sirius, still wearing a smirk, turned to face her.

"Double-whats-its-on-Tuesday-basketball-round-about." Remus put his book down to stare at them.

"Do I even want to know?" All three boys shook their heads.

"Yeah, I wouldn't risk it." Elaine told Lily, resting her hand on her forearm before removing it as she turned to look at Leo.

"I've never heard it, but they have a different game every few days." Lily gave a nod of understanding, and Remus gave a moan of despair.

"I think I've depleted my chocolate stash..." He said in a breathless voice, his eyes wide, his hands clutching one another.

"Here." Sirius, James, Peter and Leo all tossed him a chocolate bar.

"I love you guys." Remus mumbled, his mouth already full of chocolate.

"Love you too." Leo called back, before throwing his pillow of the end of the bed to land on Elaine. "I thought you could use more pillow." Elaine leant up, glancing at the pillows surrounding her.

"Nope, we're doing pretty okay on plushness over here." Lily nodded in agreement, laying down completely atop the mound of pillows.

"Are there more pillows here than usual?" Elaine asked, poking at them, squinting her eyes as if expecting them to burst open to reveal swarms of killer bees.

"Yeah, we got them from the room of Requirement." Peter said, the only one of the three 'Double-what's-its-on-Tuesday-basketball-round-about' boys to be actually paying attention to the conversation going on around them.

"Aw, that's nice of you!" Lily told them, seeming genuinely surprised, but Leo snorted quietly.

"Oh please, we've all been sleeping with like, five pillows." Remus nodded in agreement.

"Trust me, they weren't for you dames." Leo raised an eyebrow at him.

"'Dames'? You're so swanky Remus." Remus rolled his eyes at him, though he wore an amused smirk.

"You know the rules." Leo rolled his eyes, throwing him another candy bar. "I only tolerate the sweet talk if I get chocolate." He explained to the girls, who grimaced.

"You eat so much chocolate, how are you not like, the size of the Quidditch pitch by now?" Sirius cried out, raising a hand to catch their attention.

"If directed at Remus, it's because werewolves use food quicker. If directed at all of us, it's because we're growing teenage boys." Leo nodded in agreement.

"We're like bears hibernating for the winter." Sirius rolled his eyes.

"Not the Bear Analogy again." Lily and Elaine shared a look.

"The Bear Analogy." Leo glared at them, crossing his arms over his chest.

"It's a perfectly fine analogy, especially when it comes to describing Sirius, due to his major case of back hair." Sirius pouted at him, but Leo seemed amused. "No dissing the Bear Analogy." Sirius held up his hands in surrender.

"Alright, alright!" Elaine shuddered, covering her face with a pillow.

"I have seen things I can't unsee." Lily smothered her laughter, but Leo didn't bother. "I can hear you Leo. And I'll kill you." Leo scoffed.

"Like you could." She pulled the pillow away from her face, glaring at him intensely, but he only shot her a smile, before letting it slide into a pout. "Please Damsel?" She stared at him for a minute before shaking her head.

"Damn you." She muttered, gazing down at the ground.

"Love you too Damsel." What she didn't know, is that he actually meant it in reply to her confession of having a crush on him, way back, on their first Hogsmeade trip. Heck, she didn't even know he knew!

"Aw, look at her, she's all red again!" Peter pointed out, and Leo hid his own blush with his book.
