Chapter 4

Sirius took off into the hall. At first Remus just stood there in the library, looking confused. Then he heard him call her name again.

"Shit." He mumbled quickly and ran after the voice. Slipping on the slick wood floor was getting him nowhere fast. Remus decided to try to cut through the kitchen to head him off. But the kitchen was crowded with after dinner conversations and only served to slow Remus down more. As he stumbled out in to the hallway, finally out of the crowed, he heard Sirius from behind him.

"Oi Tonks! You up there?" Sirius was headed for the stairs. This was a call for drastic measures. Remus pulled his wand out of his back pocket.

"Don't. you. DARE." He shouted. There was a loud crack as a large pile of rubish stacked precariously on the stairs exploded in Sirius's path, sending him flying. There were a few grunts of pain and surprise as Sirius tumbled backwards down the staircase. He finally stopped rolling and came to a stop, upside down, at the base of the stairs. He looked up at Remus, who was standing over him, and said, "Bloody hell, Moony. I wasn't really going to do it."

"Yes you were." Remus said, extending his arm out to help Sirius up.

"Yeah, I was. But thats beside the point! What if I was right? She's got the next clue."

"You're NOT right." Remus put his wand away and took out the note again."It says 'what you want to kiss the most' not whom. I'm supposed to find someTHING"

"hmm... someTHING you really want to to kiss, eh? hmm... KREACHER!"

"No."

"Don't deny it. I've seen the way you look at him. It's love."

"You say that about everyone in the order."

"Nope, just Kreacher and Tonks. A love triangle"

"You're ridiculous"

"STAR CROSSED LOOOOOVEEERRRRS!" Sirius sang.

"oh hell"

"An Elf A Girl And A WereWOOOOOOLF!"

"shut up, Sirius. I'm trying to think."

"Moony, Its a ridiculous clue."

"No its not, I just have to think about it."

"What THING do you want to lock lips with? What THING do you want to have a private moment with? What THING do you want to take home to meet the parents? Tell me, Moony, is there anyTHING you want to spend the rest of your life with in happy bliss? C'mon Remus, there is no THING you want to play tonsil hockey with."

Sirius paused, and looked at his friend. A grin crept across both their faces.

"Chocolate." They shouted together and ran back towards the kitchen.


Molly Weasley liked to find moments of pleasure where she could. She liked seeing her husband's face light up when he figured out the mechanics of some muggle contraption. She liked seeing her boys getting along for more than five minutes at a time without bickering. And Molly Weasley liked peace and quiet.

Peace and quiet was not something she often got being the mother of seven children, but the little moments were what made it special. It she had peace and quiet all the time she would get bored with it. It was during the moments of chaos that Molly appreciated the peace and quite most.

At the moment, Molly had peace and quiet. She was washing dishes after dinner at Grimmauld Place. She had just sho'd a large group of the order out of the kitchen and back into the dining room so she could have a moment of peace and quiet.

The moment, however, was disturbed when Remus Lupin and Sirius Black came tearing into the kitchen. They loudly ripped open any cupboard they could, searching for something. Sirius bumped into Molly, spilling water everywhere, as he went rooting around for something under the sink.

One of them shouted, "I found it!"

The other called back, "and does it have..."

"yup, lets go!" and as quickly as it started, the hurricane was over.

Peace and Quiet had returned.
