Re: Remus/Hermione
"Just a little bit. It's nice to have a few more people around, now. It was just Sirius, Regulus, Ron, and myself to start." Remus shrugged one shoulder. "Ideal is rarely reality. It's still better than I think a lot of us were experiencing when we got here. And, if it's this or staying dead, I think I'll take this."
The soft smirk that wasn't a smirk bloomed into a boyish grin. "Parties were never just parties when the four of us were involved. They became...events," he explained with a laugh. "Let's just say that our stunts were not limited to pranks and it was not unheard of for elaborate magic to be employed to turn the common room into crazy environments. And then there were the times we were sneaking in large groups of students from other houses, although those were fewer in number. Sirius and James never met a party they couldn't turn into an experience."
