For the first time in his life, Remus J. Lupin can't seem to get into a good book.
Why?
Because everytime his eyes go down to the pages, he finds himself glancing right back up to the cute Hufflepuff girl at the other table.

Chapter Four
Venus waves goodbye to her friend, and made her way to meet with Rosie and Thea. When she saw them outside laughing at who knows what, a large smile appeared on her face.
"What are you guys laughing about?"
"Potter tried to ask Evan's out again, and she Stupefied him into the Black Lake!" Rosie laughed, tears in her eyes. Thea could barely catch a breath while holding her side in pain from laughing so hard.
Venus looked over to see Potter spit some water out of his mouth with an angry look on his face. Venus felt bad for the boy, but also knew that he had it coming.
"I'll be right back, I need to talk to Lily." Venus left her hysterical friends in pursuit of the fiery red headed girl. "Lily! I never got to apologize for the incident on the train. I had no idea Aurora would bug out on your friend like that. Is he okay?"
The girl in question turned around at the sound of her name. Her previous scowl falling slightly when she saw Venus. "Hi, Venus. Severus is okay mostly. He has a few scratches on his face and complains constantly, but I can tell he's exaggerating."
"That's good to hear. I'll make sure to apologize in person the next time I see him. I also came to ask you guys about Clara." At the mention of Clara, both girls got a sad look on their face.
"Is she okay?" Marlene asked from next to Lily.
"I don't know that's what I was going to ask you. Did something happen?" Venus was now worried about her roommate. As much as Clara tried to deny Venus' friendship, she would never stop caring about her.
"When we were in the great hall eating breakfast, a nasty Gryffindor boy made a mean comment about her... skin color." Lily said the last part in a whisper, like it was a bad word.
Venus didn't know what to say. She knew she was innocent to plenty of things going on in the world, but she wasn't ignorant to the fact that some people held prejudice against people based on what they looked like or how pure their blood was.
Venus had felt anger before, but never like this. She always saw the good in people, but how could someone be so judgmental for no reason?
"Who was it?" She had never spoken in such a stern voice, it surprised Lily and Marlene.
"His name is Davey Gudgeon. He is the guy that got hit by the whomping willow in our first year. I can't believe he would do something like that. I feel awful for Clara, but she just shut us out." Lily explained. She wanted to do something. Yell at him, or tell a professor, but she wanted to talk to Clara first.
"The Hufflepuff password is Felicis, and our dorm is the second one on the right. She was there just a minute ago if you want to go see her."
"Thank you, Venus." Lily said with sincerity, placing a hand on her shoulder before the two girls went off in search for their third sister.
