[h3] Sirius [/h3]

[Indent][Indent][Indent] Looking at Astrid-he flashed a charming yet soft and thankful smile towards Astrid. She was one of the few people that knew what he went through and what he suffered, living with the Black's. His brother, attending the school didn't stop some of the comments and hate he got away from home, but living with the Potters was different. James was his savior in that aspect. Although, he was thankful to all of his friends who have managed to persuade him to finally leave home....Sirius had thought about it many a times, threatened to leave, but he only did so this summer. "Yeah, very good." he acknowledged with a nod. The memories of Astrid versus his mother flashed through his mind. He had never seen many people hold their own, against his mother like that. Of course, Astrid sure was fiery and feisty in that aspect. Even if it almost came at a price. Having been to worried about her; Sirius hadn't invited her back since then. Although, he knew she and her family had been awry of going back themselves. 

Listening to Astrid talk about her brother, he chuckled lightly when she informed him off his broken bones. That team was tough and rather scary at times....broken bones were the always on the map for them. As she trailed off; he rose a slight eyebrow hearing her comment. "He what?" Sirius prompted, wondering what Astrid was going to say about her brother. True, he may have kept looking over at Sirius and the New Girl-but it wasn't what Astrid thought. Veronica was possibly, the first girl that didn't bat her eyelids at him, blush at his smile...and was more interested in Remus, than him or James. That was fair enough; his best friend reserved someone too...and to be happy. But Sirius had been worried about him.

His hand too, reached into the bowl grabbing a few beans. Popping one into his hand, he coughed making a face of disgust as he had gotten a earwax flavor. Peter couldn't help but snicker at their reactions. "What you guys get then?" he asked, grabbing a few for himself.
"Earwax." Sirius spoke with disgust, trying to find a good flavored one to get rid of the taste. Getting a lemon flavored one by luck. Peter too looked disgusted yet amused at the flavor.

That's when Sirius noticed; Astrid taking in Remus's appearance as well, it was like she realized her mistake and figured it out herself. He sighed softly, flashing her a soft smile. He wasn't mad at her; everyone made mistakes. As she touched his hand, he looked deeply into his eyes. Seeing her lean in so close, made his heart beat a little faster. She always smelled so nice, her elegant and beautiful lips just calling out to him. He got lost in her eyes, feeling her soft hand first on his, then straightening his collar. Sirius nodded softly. "Yeah, we got him some during the summer, he should have enough. I just hope, he took some already." he whispered, keeping his voice soft and low. Remus's state was more than worrying right now. He just looked so sickly...and paler than most. It was worrying, even if he did take some Wolfsbane.

[h3] Veronica [/h3]

[Indent][Indent][Indent] Veronica noticed the banter between Astrid, Sirius and Peter regarding the bowl of beans. "Do you mind, if I have a few?" she asked, nodding to the bowl.

Sirius looked up at the new girl and held out the bowl out to her. "If you're sure, Go ahead." he said and once Veronica took a few into her palm; Sirius placed the bowl back onto Astrid's lap where it had been moments ago. Veronica offered her thanks and inspected the chosen beans in her hands for a moment; not noticing Astrid straightening Sirius's collar or paying attention to their whispering few moments later. When she noticed, Remus returning his glance towards her; she smiled over at him gently. Despite his messy hair, the grey complexion and his disheveled robes and altogether appearance. There was just something about him that drew her in. Maybe it was his smile...or his kindness and shyness that made her look past all of that.

Hearing his question and paying attention to his accent; hearing that cute twang to his voice. She just smiled at him warmly. "We moved to London, You're from Lancashire?" Veronica tilted her head slightly, trying to guess where-abouts he may be from. Veronica looked at him with gentle eyes, listening to him. "Yeah, my sisters stayed back in France. They work there, and one of them has a boyfriend she lives with, so neither really wanted to move." she explained, before she held out her hand to Remus. "Want some?" she asked, as she offered some of the flavored beans to him, with a gentle smile.

She then popped one into her mouth. A harsh and rich flavor of Chilli burst into her mouth. Making her cough slightly. "Ahh...hot...hot...hot!" she gasped; her eyes watering slightly and her face bright red.
Peter chuckled at her reaction, smiling. "Let me guess...Chilli?" he asked and Veronica just nodded, gasping for air.
