"I can't believe I'm going to have a baby named after me!" Tobias grinned, as he, Lydia and Addeline stood in the Gryffindor stands, decked out is red and gold, ready for the Gryffindor versus Ravenclaw match.
Lydia rolled her eyes, "We're just going to Hogsmeade and hanging out as friends," She groaned, "How is it any different to you two hanging out."
"Because they don't have a wild Sirius Black lurking about." Lily told her, coming to stand with the trio.
Lydia winced, "Don't tell me he knows."
"He doesn't, don't worry." The redhead assured her.
"Why does it matter if Sirius knows, huh?" Tobias smirked, nudging his fellow Hufflepuff.
"Yeah," Addeline added, "I thought it wasn't a date."
"It's not," Lydia said through gritted teeth, "Sirius Black is just an overdramatic quill forgetter."
"Biggest understatement of the year." A voice said, and the four turned to see that Peter and Remus had joined them.
"Peter's right." Remus nodded, as the two teams flew onto the pitch.
"How many times do you think Sirius is going to try and flirt with Avery?" Lydia muttered up to Remus as the game started.
"Oh, at least ten." Remus nodded.
"I'm guessing an even sixteen." Lydia chuckled.
"Oddly specific."
"But as you're about to find out, very much correct."

"Sixteen times," Remus marvelled, as he and Lydia walked through the woods surrounding Hogsmeade, "He flirted with her exactly sixteen times."
"Are you broken or something?" Lydia asked with a chuckle, "You've been going on about it since yesterday."
"Exactly sixteen times." The boy repeated.
"Do you have an off switch?" Lydia joked, "Cause I think I need to reset you."
"I'm sorry," Remus laughed, "You were just scarily accurate."
Lydia smiled, "That happens a lot, actually."
"Well, that's because you're incredibly smart." Remus said, nudging her as they walked side by side.
