“Ah, the first day of winter break!” Sirius said, dramatically throwing himself down in the middle of the corridor. “We have the castle to ourselves and we can do whatever we want!”
He and James high-fived. “We could set the whole place on fire!” James said.
“The castle is made of stone, guys. It doesn’t burn,” Remus interjected. “Calm down.”
Peter cleared his throat. “We don’t have the whole castle to ourselves. There’s a girl over there.” He pointed at you, a Ravenclaw who was hurrying along, keeping your head down and clutching a stack of books to your chest.
“Damn it,” Sirius muttered. “Almost to ourselves.” He grinned at you and waved. “How’s it going, sweetheart? Want to join us in the Great Hall?”
You didn’t answer, just scoffed and kept walking. But you tripped over the air in an effort to speed up and dropped your books all over the floor. Remus approached you and smiled kindly. “Sorry about them,” he said apologetically. “Let me get these for you.” He bent over to help you gather your books. “So I guess we’re the only ones here, right?”
You smiled hesitantly at him. “Yeah, guess so.”
He scratched the back of his neck. “…do you want to join us in the Great Hall? You don’t have to eat alone.”
Shaking your head, you took your books from him. “No, thank you. But, um, I’ll be in the library if you want to join me, later.”
“Yeah.” He smiled. “Yeah, I’ll find you there.”
You walked off in the other direction, throwing him one more smile over your shoulder. He’s cute, you thought, heading toward the Ravenclaw tower to pick up some work before you went to the library. Maybe you would spend some time with him over break.
A few days later, you were looking for information among the endless shelves. Remus sat at the table behind you, flipping through a book on the nuances of a certain charm. “Found it!” you called out triumphantly, stretching on your tip toes to grab it. You couldn’t quite reach the shelf, and almost toppled over trying.
Suddenly Remus was at your side to steady you. He chuckled. “I got it.” He didn’t even have to reach to get it.
You scowled at him. “Why are you so tall?”
He grinned. “Why are you so short?”
Elbowing him in the side, you hurried back to the table and slid into his chair. “Haha.”
“You monster!” he exclaimed. “Get out of my seat.”
“No way,” you answered, kicking back and resting your feet on the table. “Yours is much more comfortable.”
“They’re the same chair!”
Before you could respond, you heard footsteps approaching along with loud voices. “Oh no,” Remus groaned.
James, Sirius, and Peter peered around the corner of one of the shelves. “There you are, Remus!” Sirius said, clapping him on the shoulder.
