[h3]ASTRID[/h3]
[indent][indent][indent]Astrid nodded another swift look over to Remus before she turned back to Sirius. This close, the urge to kiss him was completely overwhelming. Their noses were almost touching, her eyes so close she could have counted the flecks in his dark eyes. He smelt incredible, his thick hair just begging to have her hand lost in it. Her pulse began to quicken, and she bit the corner of her bottom lip as her other hand moved up his arm. All manner of sense and reasoning was gone, she was lost in his eyes and her deep affections for this guy that she wanted nothing more to be lost in his embrace. Astrid’s stare flicked down to his mouth and back up to his eyes, about to move in.

“You are head boy, James Potter!” Came the familiar voice of a very angry Lily Evans. Astrid sighed, laughing a little at their almost kiss before she moved away from Sirius, turning to look at Lily and James. It wasn’t a Sunday without a performance from these two.

“What… I didn’t do anything wrong!” James replied.

“This ridiculous vendetta you have against Slytherin needs to stop!” She replied with a furious tone, and Astrid shook her head and pushed herself to her feet, looking back to Sirius.

“Good chatting with you Black” She said to him with an exasperated sigh and flick of the eyebrows before she headed over to the fiery red head. “All right you two, do we really need the same argument” she said, taking Lily by the arm.

“You need to set an example, James, you’re a head boy!” Lily added once more before the girls turned, Astrid trying to calm her friend down as she made her way up to the dormitory,

Once upstairs, Astrid allowed Lily to rant and rave whilst she readied herself for bed. She left her school clothes at the end of the bed for the elves to clean, and pulled on a pair of pyjamas and thick socks. She wasn’t really listening anymore; instead she was lost in thoughts about Sirius. She sat on her bed combing through her hair, trying to keep herself from getting all giddy. Astrid had always managed to keep her feelings at bay, had always managed to ignore it and just brush off his flirting. But now, it was getting more and more difficult to fight. 

The school was littered with girls whose hearts he had broken, and she refused to be another. It was always the same, he wanted them and then once he had them he lost interest. She was sure the same would happen to her, as he was the only girl to turn him down, she would be his ultimate prize. And Astrid just couldn’t deal with the heartache that would bring.

[h3]REMUS[/h3]
[indent][indent][indent]“Luckily for me, I have good history with berties” He informed looking at the bowl. Out of his friends, somehow he always managed to end up with decent flavours. Once he had thought that his friends did it on purpose, to ensure that down-on-his-luck Remus would for once get something positive. He looked into the bowl and after a moment’s deliberation he plucked a beige coloured sweet from the mass and popped it into his mouth. He chewed it before grimacing a little, his good luck apparently having come to an end. “Fish” he said as he forced it down before shaking his head. He didn’t mind some fish dishes, but a fish flavoured chewy sweet was not a flavour he wished to indulge in.

The room was then interrupted by the angry tones of Lily Evans, swiftly followed by the defensive voice of James. Remus looked round to his friends and sighed, not laughing as others would. Whilst Remus had no real fondness for those in favour of blood purity, he had never really spoken out in their defence. Like the constant battle between James and Sirius, and Severus Snape. He was sure that was why Dumbledore had made him prefect; in the hopes it would make him calm his friends. It didn’t. But James had calmed down somewhat over the last year, was less aggressive then he used to be, no longer the bullying sort he once had been. So what had caused it this time?

As Astrid took Lily away, Remus looked back to Veronica. “You’ll get used to that between those two” he said to her with an amused chuckle. “And Astrid and Sirius” He added, once more with a laugh at the odd ways of his friends and the girls. He looked to James storming off upstairs and sighed, looking back to Veronica. “I best go check he is all right” He said as he got to his feet. “I’ll see you in the morning” He said to her, perhaps a little more hopeful than he should have sounded. “Night” he added, in an attempt at being a little more cool before he headed up to their shared bedroom where James was furiously kicking his trunk.
