((An update! Yay for me, eh? For my loyal readers: I'm not going to tell you who gave Remmy that lovely little hickey...I'll let your imaginations run wild. -cackle-))
Mischief Has Its Moments
A moment of exasperation
"Hey...hey, Remus!"
"Mmffmmg..."
"Remus!"
"Ow! What the—James! What are you doing?"
"Oh, you're awake, then?"
"I am now.... What time is it?"
"I dunno, I didn't check...I can't sleep."
"Dear lord, James! It's the middle of the night!"
"Actually, two o'clock is technically the middle of the morning."
"Go to sleep, James!"
"No, wait, Remus! Let's...let's talk!"
"What? Why?"
"I can't sleep and Sirius won't wake up..."
"So...so go gallivanting in the halls or whatever it is you do when you're up nights."
"Remus, don't lie down again! I can't, anyway...Filch still has the map."
"Ghmmm...fine. What do you want to talk about?"
"Oh! Erm...I dunno. You and Lily talk all the time, what do you guys talk about?"
"....Just...stuff. Nothing important..."
"Oh...well...ok. Hey! Hey, Remus, guess what?"
"Mmwhat, James?"
"There's gonna be two full moons next month!"
"..."
"Yeah, isn't it wicked? There's one on the first and then there's—"
"Yes, James. I'm fully aware."
"Oh...yeah. Yeah I guess you would be, huh?"
"..."
"So, does that mean we'll go out twice next month, all of us together?"
"Presumably."
"You seem more awake, eh!"
"Yes...topics as such will do that to you..."
"Oh...right. Erm...should we talk about something else, then?"
"What would you like to talk about, James?"
"Sirius says you're a fussbudget."
"What? Go to sleep, James."
"I told him that that word didn't even exist."
"Sleep. Do you understand sleep? Some of us need it."
"But he told me that he'd read it in that blasted book that Lily keeps in her trunk."
"Are you even hearing me?"
"I think she cuddles with that wretched thing..."
"I'm going to sleep now, James."
"No, wait Remus! Remus we—Ow! Remus you hit me!"
"No, I didn't."
"Yes, you did!"
"No...no, I didn't."
"But you did! I—Ow!"
"Sleep."
"Fine! See if I ever have a meaningful conversation with you again!"
"I'm crushed."
((I adore that word! Muuahaha! Btw: I know I've neglected Peter. It helps to remember that he wasn't always a scoundrel...he'll be in the next chapter, eh?))
