FRIDAY, MARCH 10th 1978

I'm laying in Remus' dorm, comfortable in his bed and I'm reading a book that he gave me a while back, lost in my own little world.

I feel my thighs being gently pried apart and it catches my attention, causing me to move my book to the side. I watch as the lanky brunette boy wriggles his way between my legs, his hair tickling my bare skin.

"What are you doing down there, Rem?" I smile in amusement as he places soft kisses to my thighs, laying his head down on my lower stomach.

"Just snuggling" He mumbles.

"Are you comfy?" I question and he nods, humming in content.

I turn my gaze back to my book and Remus draws shapes on my thigh with his fingers as my consciousness starts to drift off back into its own little world.

"What's this?" Remus' voice snaps me out of my daze and I look down to see him eyeing the small red bow of my underwear sat on my hip which is peaking out from under the sweater I'm wearing.

"Nothing" I answer a little too quickly, pulling the sweater down to cover up.

"What are you hiding from me?" He pries, pouting childishly.

"'m not hiding anything" I lie.

"Liar" He accuses playfully.

I roll my eyes with a smile at his impatience and place the book onto the bedside table, sitting up which causes him to get up with curious expression on his face. Remus opens his mouth to speak but I effectively shut him up by grabbing the front of his shirt and sitting down on his lap.

The Gryffindor boy looks at me in complete awe as I pull the hair tie out of my hair and softly shake my head so that my curls spill over my shoulders. I then grab the bottom of the sweater I'm wearing and swiftly pull it over my head, leaving me in my brand new red lace lingerie set.

"Whatcha doin' hiding this from me, cub?" He coos, his large hands slowly running up my thighs.

"Y'like it, Rem?" I ask him coyly, running my hands down his chest "Got it in Gryffindor red specially for you"

"All for me?" He hums softly, tucking my hair behind my ear as I nod "You look so pretty all dressed up for me"

I blush a deep red at his compliment, looking down at his lap in embarrassment and nervously toying with his tie.

"Look at me, darlin'" He demands, gripping my chin and tilting it up so my hazel eyes meet his honey brown pair.

"Happy birthday, Remus" I murmur.

He grins widely and leans in, pressing his lips to my own. Before I can even deepen the kiss, he pulls away and grabs my discarded sweater with a guilty smile.

"As much as I love you and this, I can hear my friends trying to sneak up the stairs. They'll be at that door in less than a minute" Remus explains.

A happy smile tugs at my lips as I take the sweater from him and slip it back on, crawling off of his lap.

"We are literally being cockblocked. Why are you smiling?" He asks me in amusement.

"I just like hearing you say it" I shrug.

"Say what?" He questions.

"That you love me" I elaborate and he grins warmly.

Before either of us can say another word, the door is swung open as the marauders and co all barge into the room with big wide smiles.

"Happy birthday, Moony!" They all cheer.

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

I enter the Slytherin common room to find Barty Crouch Jr sitting on one of the sofas with a textbook in his hands and a bored look on his face.

"Shouldn't you be with the birthday boy?" Barty speaks up without looking up from his book.

"He's spending the day with his friends" I shrug, walking over and plopping down next to the boy "Thought I'd come and annoy my favourite Crouch"

"Don't even lie to me, Evangeline. You like my mother more than me" The boy scoffs, finally putting his textbook down to look at me.

"Well, everyone likes your mum more than you. You're a dickhead and she's lovely" I declare simply and he scowls at me.

"Can you bugger off and bother someone else?" He huffs, looking back down at his textbook.

"But I enjoy bothering you" I groan, flopping dramatically over the sofa and placing my feet on his lap.

"You are the most irritating little toad I've ever met" He grumbles out in annoyance.

"Is that a fat joke?" I gasp.

"If it'll hurt your feelings, yes" He shrugs, pushing my feet off his lap with enough force that it causes me to lose my balance and topple off the sofa.

"I'm telling Reggie" I declare childishly, pulling myself to my feet.

"Are you five years old?" Barty questions in disbelief and I merely stick my tongue out in response "Wow, that's really mature"

I start walking away and I hear the Crouch boy's book hit the table before he starts chasing after me.

"Angel, wait!" He calls out "Let's not make any hasty decisions and just talk this out!"

"Nope!" I chirp back.

"Come on, you can't tell on me!" He whines, his quick steps catching up with me as I dart down the corridors.

"Yes, I can!" I counter.

"You can push me back, okay? I won't even be mad!" Barty tries to bargain as we exit the school.

"Really?" I perk up, spinning around to look at him with a wicked grin.

"Yes. Just don't tell Regulus" He pleads.

"Don't tell Regulus what?" A voice demands, causing us both to jump around in fright.

Regulus stands there with Mallory, Evan and Pandora, a confused expression on his face while the others smile in amusement.

"Nothing" Barty blurts out before shooting me a warning look.

Before Regulus can interrogate me, I push Barty with all my force and the boy falls flat on his arse with a surprised yell. My friends all smother laughs while Regulus looks at me in disbelief before looking down at Barty who pulls himself to his feet.

"I deserved that" The Crouch boy grumbles.
