Lily hesitated to answer, "I don't know..."

Callisto didn't have a chance to reply, because at that moment, Remus entered the room. He seemed to freeze for a moment, contemplating his next move, and he walked up to her and Lily.

"Can we talk?"

Callisto turned to look at him, not really knowing what to say. Lily was looking at her expectantly, practically begging her to go and put an end to this story.

"You have five minutes."

Lily sent her a small smile and walked out of the room, leaving her behind with Remus. He hadn't expected that it would go this far. Actually, he thought she would tell him off and leave the room to find James. She was standing in front of him though, looking as beautiful as ever, and he was at a complete loss for words.

"Why are you ignoring Sirius?"

That's not what you wanted to ask, dumbass.

She seemed taken aback too, but she quickly recomposed herself.

"Because he knows what you said to me, and he's still hanging out with you normally." She replied. "He is a real proper snake, make sure he knows that next time you see him."

"He misses you."

Technically, that's correct. It's just that I'm not talking about him.

"Okay."

"Okay?"

"Oh, I don't care at all." She replied. "I thought I had made it clear by now."

"He cares for you, Callisto." Remus insisted. "Please, just talk to him."

"What? For you?" She mocked. "I won't talk to him, Lupin, not even for your lovely eyes. Now, leave me alone."

He didn't leave. Instead, the question that was bothering him escaped his lips before he even had time to properly think about it.

"Are you and Nott together?"

She could hear it in his voice that he was hurt, and it angered her. Just like the previous time they had fallen out, he was allowed to be as cruel as he wanted, but then he thought he had a say in what she did. She was nothing to him, unless there was someone else in the picture.

Callisto didn't know what kind of territorial mentality he was all about, but she just craved to see the look on his face when he heard her response.

"Yes."

His expression fell even more, but he quickly recomposed himself, nodding.

"I thought so."

"Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to talk to Moody." She said, heading to the door. She stopped right before she was about to exit the room, turning to glance at him. "Oh, you seem a bit tired from the full moon by the way. Maybe drink some water and exercise a bit. I've heard it does wonders."

"Not you, again." Callisto complained as she saw Tobias approach her with a smug smile. "I thought Narcissa would pick me up for dinner."

"No, she had a last minute event to join with Malfoy." Tobias explained. "But, I'm here, and that's just as good."

"I love your confidence."

Tobias chuckled, amusement gleaming in his eyes as he saw two people walking a few meters away from them. Lily looked ridiculously short next to Remus, but from the expression on her face, she was furious and he was on the receiving end.
