Studying
Lilly Evans was studying, honestly, was there a time she wasn’t? And just like always one Remus Lupin was sitting right next to her in the corner of the library. They hadn’t said a word to eachother in the months that they were here.
Remus wasn’t studying, he was reading. The same book as always, on the same page as always. She wondered what was so intresting about it that he could read it so many times.
She was snapped out of her thought as he stood up and left, the book still open. At first she didn’t pay attention to it, this potions essay wasn’t going to write itself. But as the minutes passed she found herself wanting to know, so she looked around her. No sign of Remus. So she started reading the page.
It was about the wolfsbane potion. Why would he be intrested in that? Maybe he wanted to brew it for someone? Was someone in school a werewolf? She had no idea.
She quickly grabbed a piece of parchment and started to write on it. ‘Intrested in the wolfsbane potion huh? Are you keeping a sceret? Sorry, just kidding. Anyway if you want to let me in on this little plan of yours, let me know. I’d be happy to help.
-Your silent study partner’
She quickly put the piece of parchment between the pages. She was quite intrested in this now and had absolutely no intrest in her potions essay but it might take a while for Remus to come back. She decided he would come to her if he wanted and maybe spending the rest of the afternoon with her friends would help.
As soon as she’d packed up her stuff she headed for the black lake. It was a hot day so chances were thats where her friends were.
She was right, of course she was. Dorcas Meadows, Pandora Rosier and Marlene Mckinnon were sitting there in the grass all doing their own thing. Marlene was writing music as usual, Pandora making flowercrowns with the daisies that surrounded them and Dorcas was reading a book about some sort of advanced transfigguration.
She found herself quickly sitting down and engaging in a conversation about the animagus transformation with Dorcas and immediatly recieving a flowercrown from Pandora. Marlene was ranting to Pandora about how hard it was to come up with good ideas for a song while Pandora started to write down a list of song ideas for Marlene to choose from.
Lilly was glad she had gone here, it was so easy to be around her friends and not have to worry about being judged by them because well, they never did. They accepted each other for how they were.
Sometimes she wondered what it was like for Remus. He was friends with Peter Pettigrew, James Potter and Sirius Black. She didn’t know them very well but they were energetic, pranksters and seemed like the type to care a lot about how they looked towards others. James and Sirius were defenitly the ones to do most of the pranking, Peter usually just laughed along and just didn’t seem to have much of a personality of his own. Remus was always there but never really laughed along like Peter did.
Of course, she didn’t know how they were in private, the four shared a dorm maybe they were different than.
Another thing Lilly wondered about more often than she’d like to admit was Regulus Black, Sirius his little brother. She wondered how those two were brothers, Regulus was snarky and sarcastic but rather quiet while Sirius was the oppisite.
Regulus was always seen around Barty Crouch Jr and Evan rosier, Pandora’s twin brother. She knew those three a little, Pandora had brought her brother along with them a few times and he told them a bit about Barty and Regulus. They seemed nice enough.
Anyway she should really get back to her conversation, she was going anywhere but to what she was saying in her mind. Just as she looked up someone was standing infront of her.
“We need to talk.”
Remus Lupin.
