*Remus couldn't help but laugh.*

It was rather brilliant, though. I didn't think Pads was ever going to stop laughing.

Yeah, nor me. He was practically wetting himself wasn't he?

At least it wasn't on me this time. *He shook his head, recalling when he'd walked into the common room to find all his friends finding the "voice" of their Animagus.*

Yeah, that's true. That didn't happen this time, Moons.

*Remus shuddered delicately.*

Not something I'd like to repeat. *He took a swig of his firewhiskey.*

I bet [James smiled and took another swig of his drink] So, found any girls you like yet?

*He choked on his firewhiskey, coughing and sputtering.*

G-girls?

Yes, you know, Moons. The opposite sex [He grinned] Sirius is always blabbing about how many girlfriends he's had in his life. I've lost track. So, anyone or....do you prefer boys like me? [He teased]

*Remus blushed violently.*

Wha--why would you even bring that up?

I didn't mean to make you blush, Moons. Have I touched a nerve? Sorry, mate [He downed some drink]

*Remus hid his embarrasment in his drink before resurfacing after a bit, his cheeks red for a completely different reason now.*

No, I don't like any girls.

Ok, fair enough. Any boys you've got your eye on recently?

Blimey, James, can't you leave well enough alone?

Alright, alright. Sorry, Moons. Let's get down to drinking, eh? [He patted his friend's shoulder and ordered another drink for them both]

*Remus rolled his eyes and finished off his drink.*

Why did you bring that up, anyway? Anything of note happen with Lily, lately?

Just curiosity that's all [He smiled] Um, not much no...she's usually in the library surrounded by a lot of gaggling Gryffindor girls. It's hard to get her alone.

Is she still yelling at you?

Not so much these days no. She's just always busy studying and hanging out with girls.

Well that's something, mate. No yelling...that's definitely something.

Yeah, you're right. It's just getting close enough to talk to her now.

Don't talk to her the way you normally do. Like she's just some shiny object to win. Mean what you say.

*Because Remus was just so wise in the ways of relationships.*

For a guy who doesn't like girls you know a lot, Remus [James smiled] Thanks. I'll try that.

I wish you'd stop bringing that up. *Remus grumbled.*

Ok, sorry. It was meant to be a compliment. [He felt a little awkward as he didn't mean to irritate Remus]

*He waved a hand dismissively.*

It's fine. I'm just more sensitive this week...you know what I mean.

*He was referring to the upcoming full moon.*
