        THE OFFICIAL FIANCEE'S got in a cab, "I'm so sorry baby. Take us to the hospital." He instructed the driver.

        Before the driver even started the car he asked, "Whoa, whoa, whoa...did you hit her?"

        The young couple slowly turned towards each other, as Lily held the ice pack that covered her eye, then laughed all of a sudden. "Hit me? Please. He can barely even spank me in bed for fun." James flushed red in embarrassment as the cab driver started the car, driving to the nearest hospital.

        Remus was still at the bar with the girl he just met, that he soon found out her name being Astoria. "So what do you do?" He kindly asked her.

        "I'm a reporter for BBC News." The girl started as Moony let out an 'oh,' seemingly impressed by this girl.

        "Wow, never met a girl with an impressive profession before." He chuckled before realizing what he said seemed dumb, "Sorry, you're really pretty." That caused the both of them to chuckle, her laugh sounding like music in the man's ears. Astoria then mockingly waved at her friends who were seated at the booth at the end of the bar, all with unhappy faces.

        Remus turned to face the people she was waving at, "Well, your friends don't seem too happy."

        The young woman nodded, "Yeah, see, the one in the middle just got dumped by her boyfriend. So tonight, every guy is 'the enemy.'" She said using air quotes.

        "You know, if it'll make your friend feel better you could throw a drink in my face. I don't mind."

        "She would love that." The dark haired beauty started to smile. "And it does look fun in the movies."

        The young man was incredibly intrigued by this girl, "Hey, d'you wanna have dinner with me Saturday night?"

        "Oh, I can't I'm going to Scotland for a week on Friday. Some guy's attempting to make the world's biggest pancake, guess who's covering it?"

        "So that's gonna take a week?"

        "Yeah, he's gonna eat it too. Another record." She half-smiled at the fellow.

        "Hey, what's takin' so long?" Her friend cried from where she was sat, comforted by her other friends. Astoria held up a finger, signaling them it will only take a minute.

        Remus turned around so he was facing her again, as she dug through her purse. "Um... I know this is a long shot but, how about tomorrow night?"

        She beamed looking at him, "Yeah, what the hell?" She stood a bit closer to him to pass her business card towards him, in order for her friends not see. From smirking, her facial expression changed to a frown on her heart-shaped face, her whole demeanor changed as she grabbed her martini and threw across Moony's face. All the while yelling, "Jerk!" Then smirking at him turning around, "That was fun." Her friends cheered her on, smiling.

        She left a smiling Moony there at the bar, shaking his head to himself at his sheer dumb luck.
