Remus Lupin

[she chuckles] you can look now, no worries, I’m as covered as a nun

I wasn't....[he chuckles, shaking his head] Nevermind. Are you done swimming already?

Thanks, [she comes out of the water, not showing off her body per se, but not hiding it either] 

[he looks away, scratching the back of his head]

You would be correct. [she giggles] if you’re not coming in would you at least mind handing me that towel?

[grabs a towel and leans over to hand it to her]

Ouch, Lupin, I’m deeply offended. [she puts her hand to her chest dramatically]

I'm sure it takes more to offend the great Rita Skeeter.

Well this just proves why I am the one who is always right and you are not. 

I wouldn't say that....

Awh come on Remus, I like you. I just like bantering with you a hell of a lot more. 

Seems most people do. But good to know, here I just thought you didn't like me.

[she pouts] Pwease, Remus? 

Why do you want me to join you anyway? You don't particularly like me Rita.

And why’s that?

It's just the whole vulnerability of being in the water and, I dunno...just don't find it appealing.

….swim?

Oh! No, no I can do that. I just don't like to really...

Can you not do it?

Not do what?

Awwww, come on Lupin… I dont bite… hard

No, I'm just not the swimmer type...

come on in.... it's not that cold!

  That it is. The library’s wretched these days which is both a blessing and a pity. A blessing because it’s too cold for normal people therefor it’s quiet, but a pity because it’s too cold for me.

The common room has been pretty quiet lately, surprisingly so actually. Have you tried there Dorcas?

  I didn’t say anything…

You were giving me that look Berdie.

  Mhm that’s what they all say.

Oh, like you've never had a drink?

  Cheers, mate. So, what are we drinking to?

To whatever we want.

  That sounded a bit passive aggressive, is all well, Remus? 

I....yes, I apologize for snapping.
