Days had passed and it was your first Hogsmead outing. According to your prior agreements you'd be going with with Tristen Carter.
you had woken a bit earlier to looks presentable. lacing your combat boots and sliding up your jeans. out of the corner of your eye you saw the blue top Remus had complemented you on. you could the heat on your cheeks and a slow involuntary smile crept onto you lips.
"Why so chipper?" Dorcus asked.
"she's got a hogsmead date with Tristan Carter, isn't that right y/n?" Alice said dreamily, tiding up her drawers
"Alice, you and frank are welcome to tag alon-" you had been practically begging (since you found out the date, time, location ect. of the date.) fro anyone to join as a double date. You even asked sirius if he'd be willing to fake a date but he laughed at you and told you that if he were to go on a date they'd want to be alone.
"no! y/n!" Alice scolded, "you have to put yourself out there. at least for one day." She smiled and folded her clothes.
"I am- I did, and now i want to retreat back a bit." you fell onto your bed.
Alice and Dorcas started talkling about the elctives they'd chosen. Alice was taking care of magical creatures, and Dorcas, history of Ancient Runes so you decided to go downstairs.
James and Peter were splayed on the couch shouting at a board of wizards chess.
"KNIGHT TO D4!"
"PAWN TO F3"
you sat down next to peter who was laughing too hard to really notice anything.
you checked the watch on his wrist and sighed, thirty minutes till Tristen was outsite your commen room.
"James I'm sorry but you just God awful at this game, you'd think you know that you needed to protect the king."
"well i forfeit. So you win."
"were there any bets?" You asked.
"Anything at honeydukes." Peter said, as he started to clean up, presumably Remus' chess set.
"wait! can i have a go?" you asked excitedly.
Peter had fallen back onto the couch and James' face lit up.
"i supposed Moony won't mind." James said crack his knuckles, "Besides a good loss would do your humility good ya know?" James hunched over the board preparing to start the game.
"erm, James can i have my board back?" Remus said coming down the boys dorms. you caught eye and looked down. picking up a pawn and twiddling it through your fingers.
"but i'm about to beat y/n-" James started.
"But he gave up mid way through the last game so i doubt that there'll be much of a game anyway." Peter laughed.
James huffed "fine. It's all yours Remus." James got up and walked out with Peter following (more for is Honeydukes than actual loyalty.
"if you still want to play..."Remus sat down and nodded towards the board.
you nodded sqallowing the nonexistent spit in your throat.
"Pawn to c 5." the pawn moved up
"knight to c 7" you said.
"knight? y/n the games only begun." He laughed.
"i have a strategy."
"wich would be?" he moved his tongue to the side of his mouth smiling.
