I sat at a table in the library, head propped up on one hand, half-asleep as I flick through an incredibly long and boring book I was supposed to be reading.
My eyes weren't focused at all and I wasn't taking in a word, just sitting there, in silence, half-asleep, occasionally turning the page.
Bored out of my mind.

"Hey Rem." I say quietly as i walk up to Remus in the library looking as if he's about to fall asleep.

I jump and my head slips off my hand.
"Whoa..." I mutter, my eyes suddenly focusing on the page in front of me, and then I look up to see Izzy.
"Hey Izzy."

"Sorry if i scared you." I said with a smile."You should get some rest, you look about ready to drop off. Or is it just how boring the book is?" I ask looking at the very long book in his hands.

"It's the book." I groan. "Long, boring, awful. I like reading most of the time, but this..." I close the book with a slam. "...cannot be considered reading in my opinion. Just a slow painful death to all who read it."

"I agree" I say looking at the title of the book and wincing. "I think you need to get out of here..." I say looking around the library with a scowl "...the books seem to be taunting us." I notice all the scars on Remus' face and place my finger on one. "How did you get these?" I ask.

"Erm..." I stammer, biting my lip nervously.
I decide to make a joke out of the horrific scars on my face.
"Horrific face meets lawn mower accident." I joke.

I raise my eyebrow at the obvious lie but i don't say anything. I didn't want Remus thinking i'm nosy or anything. In fact i didn't want Remus to think i'm anything bad.
"So where are your fellow marauders?" I ask, changing the subject to hopefully something more cheerful.

"Doing something unlawful, insulting, dangerous, derogatory, offensive, incredibly stupid...The list could go on." I smile. "But the point is they're doing something stupid without me."

"Feeling a bit left out then Remmy. Tell you what, you can do stupid stuff with me if you want to." I say to him with a smile.

"Okay." I grin. "What stupid thing do you think we should do?"

"Well i have a pocket full of dungbombs that are just dying to hit that greasy head over there." I say pointing towards Severus Snape who was sitting nearby.

"Very tempting...But I really shouldn't-..." I muse. "Oh who cares about conscience? How many have you got?" I grin.

I grin and hand him nine dungbombs. I lift back my arm and aim at Snapes oily head.

"On the count of three-..." I mutter, taking hold of a dung bomb. "One-...Two-...Three-...Fire!"

I let go of my dungbomb and watch as mine and Remus' both hit Snape on the head. He looks up wildly and storms over to us shaking with anger."Uh oh" I say getting quite scared at the look on Snapes face.

"Hello Serervus." I smile warmly. "Tell me, have you struggled through the homework assignment yet?" I ask coolly, hardly smirking at all, gesturing at the book in front of me. "I think it's incredibly dull-...Hey, can you smell that?" I laugh. "Smells like dungbombs. Can you smell that Izzy?"

"Oh yes, it started to smell around the time you came over Severus have you stepped in something?" I ask getting my courage back and smirking.

"It certainly appears so." I say, nodding hastily. "Well, we'll leave you to...erm...investigate the source of the smell Serverus. But right now, we have somewhere to be-..." I trail off.
Taking Izzy's hand and grabbing my book, then running fast out of the library, before collapsing with laughter at the expression on Snape's face.

I manage to stop laughing enough to say "His face! That has got to be funnier than when James sat on my owl." I said shaking with laughter feeling tears roll down my cheeks.

I laugh even harder because Izzy was laughing so hard she was crying.
I slid down against a wall clutching my sides.

I watch as Remus slides down the wall in hysterics and i collapse next to him."we have got to do this again sometime." I say in between my laughing fits.

"Well," I smirk. "We still have 7 or so dungbombs left..."

I smirk mischeviously. I pull him up by the hand and drag him towards the Slytherin common room. "It's payback time." I say as we run down the corridor.

I hear someone coming along the corridor and pull Remus into a gap in the wall behind a statue and put a finger to my lips as i listen trying to identify the footsteps.

I wait, my heart beating faster.
Also, listening very hard to the sound of the footsteps.

I feel my heart beating faster, but it's not the sound of footsteps that is responsible. It's the fact that i'm still hold Remus' hand. I don't know what to do about so i just leave it, pretending i haven't noticed and watch as i see Lucius Malfoy come into veiw.

I'm suddenly horribly aware of the fact that I'm holding Izzy's hand.
And that our bodies are so close they're touching.
Then I see Malfoy come round the corner and just pretend we're not so close and that our hands aren't still linked.

I'm starting to get nervous, i know i should move but at the same time i don't want to, it feels so right here with Remus. I watch as our prime target strols off out of sight. What am i going to do, i ask myself.
