(A/N): Hey Guys! So, this chapter Elaine may seem kind of petty, but she's just really frustrated because the guy she has a crush on has pretty much constantly been off snogging his girlfriend.

Disclaimer: I own nothing you recognise.

Elaine

"Ugh, Leo and Brooke are probably off snogging again." I groaned as I threw myself onto Leo's bed, the Marauders plus Lily looking in my direction as I did so.

"Not to be callous," Lily said, glancing back at Remus before continuing. "But maybe you should get a boyfriend of your own. You know, to help you get over Leo and his copious snogging sessions with Brooke?"

And that, my friends, is how I ended up in the Great hall half an hour later with Lily and Remus trying to play matchmaker.

Well, Lily playing matchmaker, and Remus reading a book.

"Ooh, what about him?" lily said, not too subtly pointing to a guy as he entered the hall.

"Too short." I muttered, barely glancing at the guy.

"Him?"

"Too ugly."

"What about him?" I glanced at the guy, and although he was both an appropriate height and reasonably attractive, I had to turn him down.

"Too dark." Remus rolled his eyes as Lily glared at me.

"Too dark?! Too dark?!" Remus placed a hand on her shoulder, setting down his book as he took over.

"Elaine, you aren't going to find a guy as tall, attractive or 'light' as Leo, alright?" I pouted subtly, and he nodded. "Good. Now, what about him?" This guy wasn't so bad, but I shook my head.

"Look, this was a bad idea guys. I've known Leo for four years, I can't just meet some random guy and date him, it wouldn't work!" Lily stared at me for a second.

"So, what? You can only date guys you've known for ages?" I shrugged, and Remus rolled his eyes at me.

"If it helps..." He leaned across the table, grabbed me with a hand twisted in my hair, and crushed my lips to his.

The kiss only lasted a few seconds, but when he pulled away, all I could register was the taste of chocolate on my lips.

"Oh my god..." I heard Lily giggle, and I came to my senses, slapping Remus on the arm.

"What the hell was that for?" He shrugged at me, returning to his book.

"You've known me almost as long as you've known Leo. Did that kiss feel any different than it would have with a stranger?" I shook my head, confused.

"No but-" He cut me off, cocking an eyebrow.

"Then why aren't you kissing some stranger?" I gaped at him for a second before Lily giggled again.

"I can't believe you just did that." He shrugged.

"I've always been curious." I stared at him with wide eyes.

"What?" I choked, smacking his arm again, and he grinned at me.

"I'm a guy Elaine. Besides, with Leo so obsessed with you, you're kind of like forbidden fruit."

Speak of the devil.

"Hey guys." Leo said as he took the seat beside me, and I flushed bright red. "What's up?" And even though she knew she shouldn't, Lily said...

"Remus kissed Elaine." At first, Leo just stared at Remus, shocked. Then he looked angry. Finally, he just shrugged.

"I just spent like an hour making out with Brooke, so I guess I can't really say anything." An hour? Merlin, even submarines need to come up for air sometimes, guys!

Later that night, I joined Remus in the Room of Requirement for a study session.

I was working on an essay for charms, and it seemed he was taking my advice from years earlier and was trying to create a talking map. Or, at least, a normal map.

After a few minutes on silence, I cleared my throat.

"So... forbidden fruit, huh?" He met my eyes over his book, not looking confused for even a second.

"Yep." He said curtly, and I raised an eyebrow at him.

"Does everyone think that?" That would explain why no one had ever asked me out or showed any sort of interest in me romantically.

"Leo's a scary person Elaine." I watched him for a second before standing up. "Where are you going?" He asked, thinking I was leaving, but I made my way over to him.

I stood there for a second, just staring at him, before grabbing his book and tossing it onto the table.

"I need that-" I cut him off by pushing him back into the chair as he moved to get it, fingers fisted in the front of his shirt.

"I'm not Leo's property, alright? I'm not 'forbidden fruit'. I'm just Elaine."

He stared up at me for a full minute before pushing himself onto his feet so he could tower over me, though it didn't really phase me.

"Well, 'Just Elaine'... I'm glad that's what you think."

And with that, his lips crashed down on mine.

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

Hey guys, guess what?

...

I ship it.

But anyway, this has actually been planned for a while, this isn't new, so it isn't all unexpected and I haven't just thrown it in there because I love writing hot makeout sessions, it actually has a purpose.

This chapter has had some minor edits made to it on 25/12/22 - Basically just another reference to chapter 210, when Leo says he just spent an hour making out with Brooke, plus a reference to it in my authors note.
