Trouble [S.B]

25

"I swear on Salazar's grave that if Remus doesn't come down in the next minute he'll be joining Salazar soon" Noelle hissed as she picked up the car keys from the coffee table.

It was still a few weeks into summer and everyone was making the most out of the sunny weather that loomed over London. Currently, Lily and Remus had had a sleep over at Noelle's so they could visit the beach early the next day. Noelle's plans however, weren't going according to what she expected since Remus had been the first to wake up and was yet to come down.

Everyone in Hogwarts always blamed the Marauders tardiness in Sirius, James and sometimes even Peter. They thought that Sirius was so vain that he spent hours upon hours fixing his hair, others thought that James would do monologues infront of a mirror with all of the reasons why Lily should date him, sometimes he even portrayed Lily's response to him asking her out, lastly people thought Peter was too difficult to wake up in the mornings. Even if all of these things did happen and would take some time to occur in the mornings, the one responsible for them almost missing breakfast and sometimes even clases was, in fact, Remus John Lupin.

Remus Lupin was an extremely well organized boy. He folded his socks, his scarfs his hats, everything in his trunk was well put according to each season. When he picked stuff out it was with the utmost care and he could be as slow as a turtle while doing so. Everything in Remus screamed perfectionist and sometimes it could be tiring, but the Marauders never left a friend in need, even if Remus need was just making his bed and not having a single crease in it.

The boy had a routine and if something wasn't in order, he would crumble and become really grumpy and grouchy during the day. The Marauders had learned the hard way when in first year Sirius decided to borrow some socks off of Remus trunk since he couldn't find his. Let's just say he made a mess. When Remus encountered the mess made by his newly made friend, he didn't speak to him for a week. Let's also keep in mind that this happened around the time that Noelle found about Remus furry little problem, so he -being really angry at Sirius- stopped spending time with the boys and would sit by and hang out with Lily and Noelle. So Sirius being his petty self didn't talk to him back and would only glare Remus' way. This almost extended itself to a month until James Potter got so tired of Sirius' bitching about Remus trading them for Lily and Noelle, and of Remus silently judging Sirius and going to the extent of putting a lock on his trunk.

So as the two girls waited fo the lad who was finishing the third check up of his backpack to go to the beach, Lily was fanning herself with her hand and blowing her hair away from her face while Noelle simply glared at the top of the staircase, as if that would make Remus figure appear.

"Remus I swear to god if you don't come down here this instant I'm leaving you!"

"Impatient much? Jeez" he mumbled as he went down the stairs, he stopped himself when he met the steely glare of his friend "Kidding".

"You better or I'll hex you so bad you won't be able to tell left from right"

"Can't he not do that already?" Lily asked looking at her nails.

"That was one time Evans! Good Godric you can be such a bitch sometimes"

"I was joking Lupin! No need to be such a git"

They glowered at each other and just as fast as it happened they were laughing at each other. Noelle rolled her eyes at the two but smiled lightly picking up her bag and heading out the door, the other two following close behind.

"Oh man that was great" Lily laughed merrily, her cheeks red from laughter.

"You both need to stop watching those teen movies, you're starting to act the part without even trying" Noelle commented as she started the car and drove off to the nearest beach that was an hour and a few minutes away.
