This is another 3+1 thing because I am trash for these things.

This won't be updated for another couple of days, cuz I'm going to be in France. Surprise, maybe I should warn you guys before these kinda things. Eh.

Have a great day/night.

Bending slightly as he crawled through the portrait hole, Remus Lupin clutched his books to his chest.

He had grown in the last couple of months, towering over Sirius by about an inch.

He wasn't letting the other boy forget it, stretching as much as he could in his presence.

The Griffindor common room was abuzz with students chattering and studying.

"...Legal in some states..."

"He totally likes you..."

"Shut up! Batman would win against Superman..."

"I am Batman."

Sirius was spread across an armchair, the Marauders having dibs'ed the best spot by the fire. He craned his neck over the back and smiled at Lupin as he walked up to them.

"Lup-in." he joked, and Lupin glared at him, jokingly. Lupin batted at James' feet, the other boy reclined over the entire five-person sofa. Grumbling good-naturedly, he moved his feet and Lupin leaned against his knees, facing Sirius. Peter was sitting in front of the sofa, arms lying on the narrow space of cushion before James began.

Remus' head lolled back on the hard bone of James' skinny knees. "What've you done with my Muggle studies book?" he asked, sighing. Through his limited, upside down vision, he saw James go red.

"I borrowed it for facts to impress Lil- teachers with. It's somewhere in the dorm."

Sirius sniggered, from his chair. "Nice save, Prongs. We totally have no idea who you're talking about."

Peter looked up at James, glasses perched on his nose. "Since when have you been bothered about impressing teachers?"

"Since always." James defended himself, narrowing his eyes at the others.

"I distinctly remember you saying two years ago-" Lupin held up a slender finger as James tried to interrupt. "That you would rather sit though three hours of detention with Slughorn, than impress teachers."

Peter scrunched his nose up. "Slughorn isn't that bad."

James jolted his legs, making Lupin jump. "Shuddup Mooney."

Lupin rolled his eyes, smiling as he got off the sofa and headed towards the stairs to their dorm.

"Hey, where are you going? My legs are cold now!" James complained. Lupin didn't reply, he had to find the book for his homework.

Just as Lupin was about to start going up the steps, he heard a yell from behind him.

"Lup-out!"
