"𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐎"

"CALLISTO!" Lily groaned loudly, the librarian shooting them a warning look before going back to her work. "Just do us all a favor and talk to them!"

"Interesting tactic, but I'm going to stick with no."

"Fine!" Lily huffed, closing her book shut and shoving it in her bag. Before the Slytherin could say anything, Lily stormed out of the library, leaving her on her own. Her eyebrows furrowed together as she tried to understand the ulterior motives behind the redhead's outburst, when four people rushed over to her table. She would have left weren't it for her legs getting tied under the table with invisible ropes, rendering her completely immobile.

"Hello, Blondie!" Sirius cheerily greeted, his fingers twirling around a strand of pink hair. "Should I call you Pinky now? I haven't decided yet..."

"Jace, unless you want to go through the excruciating process of explaining to your wife why you have four nipples, I suggest you lift the damn spell!"

"I didn't cast it." James shrugged, pointing at Remus. "He did."

"He should be very careful with what he eats." She sneered, refusing to look at Remus.

"It's been a week and you're still angry about the wolfsbane?" Remus asked, his leg brushing against hers under the table. Callisto almost didn't hear what he was saying, too invested in the small jolts erupting every time his leg barely touched hers.

"Blue-blue, did you hear anything or was it just the wind?" Out of the four, the only person she had exchanged a few words with was Peter. That exception caused a great deal of frustration to Remus, who simply couldn't understand why the plant was so damn important to her. Peter snorted at the comment, receiving three equally angry looks from his friends.

"Can you guys just leave us alone for a minute?" Remus pleaded, kicking James' foot under the table. The bespectacled boy, furrowed his eyebrows in confusion before realization dawned upon him and he shot up, dragging Sirius and Peter behind him.

Remus watched as they exited the library, before he turned at Callisto and poked her shoulder.

"Come on, Callisto." He whined, nudging her again. "You're being petty."

"Sorry, I can't hear over the sound of broken promises!" The girl stated, still not turning to meet his gaze. For some weird reason, she knew that the moment she looked in those warm, brown eyes she would probably give in.

"I won't take off the spell unless you look at me." He sternly said. Callisto glanced at her legs, trying to break out of the invisible ropes. Of course, there was no avail since no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break them and her wand was strategically placed out of her reach. She groaned and turned to Remus, making sure that her glare wouldn't soften.

"Satisfied?"

"Halfway there." He retorted, letting his leg touch hers ever so slightly. "Sorry for not bringing you the wolfsbane."

"Shit, you apologized..." Callisto mumbled, furrowing her eyebrows. "I guess this means that I'm not mad anymore and we can go back to normal! Even better, I think I love you, Lupin!"

"Are you done?" He demanded, raising an eyebrow. When Callisto didn't reply, he sighed. "Can you please stop ignoring us?"

She smirked, "Missed me?"

"No, we didn't, but I do need help with Potions." He responded, concealing the fact that maybe he did miss her company just a little bit.

"For some reason, I think that you do miss me." She noted, turning to face him properly. "And when I say you, it's singular. Not plural."
