I solemnly swear that I am up to no good | Professor Remus Lupin

Chapter 53 - Quidditch tent

My hair fell into my face, when Grace shook me to wake me up.

„Wake up! It's already Eleven" she told me and I slowly lifted myself up.

„Calm down, its Saturday...what is going on?"

„You're right I forgot to tell you yesterday...i kind of have a date with George, so you need to entertain Fred" she explained and threw my clothes at me. „And I need your help with my outfit..."

„Alright, alright. Give me a second to wake up..." I said and stood up and stumbled into the bathroom. I quickly cleaned my face and the cold water did it's job and woke me up. I walked back to Grace with a toothbrush in my mouth and watched her going threw a pile of clothes.

„So what do you think?" She asked me and held up a midnight blue knitted sweater and a green one with the logo of the Irish quidditch team.

„That is mine..." I noted, pointing at the green sweater.

„Yeah...but what do you say? Or this?" She said and ran threw our room to her closet and pulled out a tight black sweater dress. „This is too much, isn't it?" She commented looking at the dress again and before I could say something she continued, „I don't want to appear needy, you know?"

„Wear whatever makes you comfortable" I told her, causing her to scoff.

„That's the biggest bullshit I have ever heard" she said truthfully, causing me to laugh.

„I know, I hoped it would work, but you need to calm down. I am just as happy for you, but don't overthink it..." I told her truthfully. „With what would you wear my sweater? Skirt or pants?"

Together we went through her and my closet, until we finally found an outfit that she liked and felt confident in. It wasn't too much, but still really cute. We decided on the green sweater, which she wore a white button up underneath, so that the collar peeked out and black straight leg jeans.

I had chosen to wear a green patterned dress over a white shirt and threw a cardigan on top. When we were done styling and looked at us in the mirror, Grace finally seemed confident in our choice.

„Let's go to get myself a boyfriend so we can have double dates" she stated and smiled at me excited.

„I don't see that happening..." I replied and we started laughing.

„Imagine really doing this...how George would act like" she said laughing. „He would be really awkward..."

„For sure, he is already behaving weird when Remus is around, because he is one of the few teachers he shows respect" I commented.

„Probably the only teacher..." Grace said and I agreed.

We walked down towards the great hall and found the twins already waiting for us at the end of the stairs. George seemed pretty nervous too and was saying something to his brother. When they saw us George's eyes were darted on Grace, she looked at me in a mixture of excitement and nervousness. I took her hand to calm her down.

„You look beautiful, Grace" George commented and Grace blushed heavily.

„Lets go, Freddy" I said to Fred and dragged him away from the two. „Have fun you two!" I said to George and Grace, Grace turned around to me and smiled happily.

„Don't forget to use condoms, brother! I couldn't stand another one of you" Fred screamed after them. George flipped him off without turning around.

„You know, that it is really ironic to say that to your twin brother" I said to Fred, as we watched them walk away.

„You are right" Fred realized and I couldn't help but laugh. „So what are we going to do on this beautiful day?"
