If we're caught, I'm blaming you.

[He tilted his head backwards, sighing again.] We need to make a stop at Slughorn's shop then.

[broomswept]

[She grins] We can do that.

[mooney]

Do you ever wonder if he knows just how much he contributes to our educational experience?

[broomswept]

I think he has an inkling.

[mooney]

This will be so amusing in hindsight if one of us becomes a prefect.

[broomswept]

If. You're a shoe-in.

[mooney]

As if! Besides, I'd only get it because I'm certain Dumbledore just wants someone to check you and Padfoot.

[broomswept]

Well, yes. But won't it be brilliant? Having someone on the inside?

[mooney]

[He raises an eyebrow suspiciously]Except everyone will know I'm the "inside" person.I'm around you suspicious characters too often.

[broomswept]

Suspicious!

Please. If we were suspicious characters, I'd have a very charming mustache.

[mooney]

You do. It's in your trunk. You put it on Hedwig when you need a laugh and you wear it whenever you're giving you an inspiring speech about whatever heinous rule-breaking scheme we're about to commit.

[broomswept]

[Remus John Lupin, you are the ruiner of fun. Jane gives him a pointed look.]

Then, on all accounts, you're right.

[mooney]

[He raised an eyebrow knowing that look would turn into a smile soon enough. Opening his book, he pretended to ignore her.] I usually am.

[broomswept]

[Jane nudges him with her foot under the table.]

But not all the time. Don't let it go to your head, Moony.

[mooney]

[He smirked, but didn't look up from the spell tome.] I would never do that.

[broomswept]

I suppose that's my job.

[mooney]

Other than being charming, devilishly good looking, mischievous, talented and a bit pig headed, yes. [Now he's just pretending to read.]

[broomswept]

Your attention to detail is astounding.

I knew there was a reason I loved you, Moony.

[mooney]

I bask in the ray of your affections. [Remus looked up briefly, enough to wink at her before returning his attention to the book.]

[broomswept]

Then do me a favor and find a way to make Evans do the same. [Same old story with Jane. Sorry about your reading.]

[mooney]

Bask in your affections or your character traits? I think that might be a lost cause Prongs.

[broomswept]

Both. Let's go with both.

It's not a lost cause. Ever.

[mooney]

Basking isn't needed for your traits my dear. You off so much self-value the sun would be envious. [Page turn] Affections... Red would probably take more kindly to you if you didn't pick on Snape as much. Preferable to stop all together.

Know when you're beat mate.

[broomswept]

Why is it that even when you insult me it sounds like a complement?

['cause Jane is the best. That's why.]

I'll stop when he stops being a bastard.

[mooney]

Because of my luscious voice and subtle charm. It's irresistible and misdirecting.

And you should probably stop before that happens. You know. Be the bigger man and all that.
