Remus had believed that nothing else could possibly make their school years any more eventful. With the trouble and drama James and Sirius have caused, and the end of their sixth year just around the corner, Remus thought all would be well and normal. Until he ran into a second year Ravenclaw.

"Come on, Remus. You should try it at least once." Sirius said, putting his face in between Remus and his book.

"I don't want to, for the last time." Remus said with a sigh.

"You know you want to Moony." James said in a sing-song voice.

Remus rolled his eyes. They were right. It was tempting, but he shouldn't. Then again, they have broken worse rules before. So...it couldn't hurt...right? "Fine." He said shortly.

"YES!" Sirius threw his fist into the air. "Come on! Let's get you suited up!"

"Do I have to wear the suit?" Remus asked as he tucked his book under his arm. He stood up and followed Sirius and James back up into their dorm room.

"Of course! We had to." Sirius said over his shoulder.

"You rocked it, though." James said with a wink, making Sirius howl with laughter.

Remus smiled and chuckled along. It was a bet all four of the Marauders had been given. Sirius and James have already done it. Peter said he wasn't going to, so he was taking the punishment. A day with Severus. Remus was perfectly content with hanging out with Severus, but it was Severus who would be against it and make it difficult. James and Sirius found the bet the best thing in the world. So, of course they had to get Remus to do it.

"Wonder how Wormtail's doing." James asked as he closed the door.

"Who cares. We'll see him at dinner tonight. Sit Remus." Sirius took out his want and pointed it at Remus' bed.

"What if I just put on a wig and called it good?" Remus asked.

"What's the fun in that?" James responded as he pulled out a girl's uniform from under his bed.

"Since you took to long to do this, you have to be a girl until lunch tomorrow."

"Tomorrow!" Remus gasped. "But classes begin again tomorrow!"

James grinned and nodded to Sirius as he held out a potion.

Remus looked at them, not moving to take the potion.

"We'll force it down your throat and you know it." Sirius said.

"Can't I just take the day with Severus instead?" Remus asked, now having second thoughts about this.

"Nope." Both of them chorused.

Remus sighed deeply. "Fine." He stood up and took off his sweater, setting it down beside him in his bed. He then took off his tie and folded that neatly as well. He turned to his friends before taking the vial and drinking what was left. He set the vial down before holding his head, eyes squeezed shut. "Ow. Ow. Ow." He muttered as he sat back down.

James and Sirius turned their backs, with large grins on their face.

Remus already regretted this.

As Remus walked down the hall, head down and books to his chest. He had a free period, then lunch. The potion was supposed to wear off in about half an hour. If he was lucky, it would be sooner. The others were talking and laughing as they mingled with the other Quiditch players. Eventually, their voices were gone, and Remus was alone, speed walking to the Gryffindor Common room. He turned a corner only to feel something smack into him.

He took a step back only to slip and fall on something. "Gah!" He gasped in surprise as his body pitched backwards, but he never hit the ground. He opened his eyes just as his back hit the ground softly. Did they cast a spell to slow his fall? He didn't hear an incantation.

"I-I'm so sorry!" Came a soft voice in front of him. He looked and saw a small Ravenclaw girl on the ground. She had a large Ravenclaw scarf over her face and a mess of brown hair.

"No, I'm sorry." Remus said as he began to help pick up her things. From the sound of it, she couldn't be any older than a third year. But from the looks of her books, she was in the same year as him. "What year are you in?" He asked curiously.

"S-Second." She replied after a moment's hesitation.

"Really?" Remus asked, neatly stacking the papers and putting them back into the appropriate books. "These are the kind of things a sixth year would learn." He looked at her to see her face buried into her scarf, her eyes almost disappearing into it.

"I-I borrowed the books from my brothers. They both graduated already." She said.

"That's interesting. But I would take it easy." He advised. "You do have a while to learn all of this."

She shook her head a bit before breathing deeply. "Yeah...I guess I do..." She now had all of her books resting in her arms once again. "Um, thank you sir." She said. "You...are a sir, right? Because you look like one of those Marauders from Gryffindor."

Remus felt his face flush. "Um, yeah...glad my reputation is still going strong." He said.

The girl closed her eyes in what Remus assumed was a smile. "I'm Kristen Skull. Now you have to tell me your name."

Remus chuckled and nodded as he brushed at the skirt he was wearing. "Remus. Remus Lupin. Nice name."

Kristen nodded. "I get that a lot." She said with a sigh. "Well, we don't get to pick our names. So it's not my problem."

Remus nodded. "That is true. Where were you headed?" He asked. He wanted to find out more about this girl.

"Um...Professor Dumbledore's class." She said.

"Is it about these notes you have?"

"A little."

"Mind if I accompany you?"

"Wouldn't you rather get changed?"

"True...true..." Remus smiled. "Well, I'll see you around I guess."

"I bet we will." Kristen said as she began walking away.

Remus took a step forward when he suddenly had another question. He turned around but found she was gone. He frowned lightly. He was going to question how his fall was broken. And if she had anything to do with it.
