           over for pizza and beer.
Rating: Probably PG for language if nothing else

He'd had pizza delivered and placed stasis spells on the boxes so it would remain hot and fresh. There were two small kegs of beer iced down in washtubs - one American and one dark ale - and plenty of plastic cups, paper plates, and napkins.

As the appointed time approached, he got a cup of the ale and took a seat near the front of the room to wait and see who would actually show up. If nothing else, he supposed there would be plenty of pizza and beer left over for for breakfast in the morning.

Not many people ever called him a handsome, charming bloke and Remus was not used to it. Something warm spread itself at the peak of his cheeks and he dipped his head, as if to stare closely at the warm pizza he held while a childish smile was dancing on his lips. He wouldn't lie, it was a nice thing to hear.

"Thank you, Lily," he said to his friend in his form. "You really know how to make men feel good." And that was another weak attempt for a joke.

Would he consider dating in this place, though? Remus wondered. It was either he had not been up to his usual standards since his displacement or no one really bothered themselves with werewolves, New York being more "Muggle" than any place he had ever been to. So would it work, he wondered? A place where there was no prejudice and no one would need to know what he really was...

No, Remus rather doubted it. He knew he could never lie forever to a woman he might love and just because they didn't know magic didn't mean Muggles were any different from wizards when it came down to fur and fangs. No matter how one might put it, a werewolf really was abnormal to the society -- and that was what he was.

"Do you suppose we could just charm a flat if we didn't have much luck, though? Make a bedroom split itself to two and all," he said about their trip for the next day. He didn't know how to pull off what he had just suggested, but it was a much better, more productive topic to talk about than, say, his love life.

"Well, it's true," she assured him softly. Once upon a time, before James, she'd given thought to asking Remus out. She never had, if only because she reasoned he would have said no because of James. And his full moon issue -- though she hadn't learned about that until later.

"I don't know," she admitted. "I know the sell tents and the like that are bigger inside than out, but I don't know the spell for that. Or even where to begin experimenting with it. Besides that, my transfiguration skills aren't going to win any prizes."

Lily shook her head as they strolled along. "No, probably best not to try anything like that. We don't know if whoever or whatever brought us here might decide to shut off our magic or something." While she didn't think that was possible, she also hadn't thought such radical displacement across time and space was possible, either.
