[ The claims about his street cred are meant with a little snicker and a lot more toying with his hair, all too happy to let him take hold of her free hand. ]
I'm really glad to be known by you, Remus Lupin. When you aren't trying to hide from me, that is.
Remusβ [ Lily stopped talking with a light sigh and pulled back enough to catch sight of his face, shaking her head at him before ducking down to kiss him. ]
( He kisses her back, soft and sweet. He wishes he could channel all his feeling into it, so that when his words failed him she'd still know.
He pulls away only when he hears the obvious clearing of a throat, blushing again. Best not upset Madame Pomfrey. He's sure Lily's only allowed here because she's a prefect. )
[ Lily turned red when she looked over her shoulder and caught the school matron glaring at them. Quickly she scooted off of Remus's bed and onto the chair. ]
Other than me? I don't think so. I did come up with a brilliant place to hide with books and a pot of tea I can't wait to show you, once you're free.
[ After he sets her up to make some sort of forward remark about deliciousness, Lily restrains herself, of all things, instead wrinkling her nose as she shook her head. ]
Perhaps I don't want to sit and read with you Remus, you sound as though you frequent seedy places.
[ Which couldn't be further from the truth. If he wanted to spend time in the bottom of a well, Lily would resign herself to having a soggy book. ]
You better not be counting me among that disreputable company.
[ Lily glanced around the infirmary briefly, and, not seeing Pomfrey lurking about leaned in to dust a quick kiss to Remus's cheek after he promised to protect her books for her. ]
I'd protect your books too.
[ She found the notion quite romantic, all told. Like a nerd. ]
( She's a goddess among men, really. But she's also a little bit like all of his friends. A Gryffindor through and through, a heart of gold with a mischievous streak. )
Thank you.
( Sweetly, because he also finds the whole thing ridiculously romantic. )

You're ruining my street cred.
( Hideous lies. He has none. Still muffled by her shoulder, Remus finds her hand and fits his fingers through hers. )
I'm really glad I know you, Lily Evans.

You mean I can finally stop worrying about something eating my novels when I'm not looking?
no subject
What? Where have you been reading that something eats your books?
[ She looked aghast, it sounded terrible. ]

Padfoot takes exception to a lot of them. )
You mean you've never put a book down and come back to it mildly chewed upon or with pages torn free? Maybe mine are just more delicious.

It's the disreputable company I keep. I used to be such a Good Boy.
( He lifts his eyebrows as he says it, to emphasise the capitalisation. Remus actually thinks he has the greatest of company, at all times. )
I'd protect your books.

[ Lily reached out and rest her hand on his, considering Remus' face. She had her suspicions, but not enough to speak on just yet. ]
When does Pomfrey say you'll be up and about Remus? I intend to steal you away as soon as you're sprung.
[ And will it be the same thing next month? ]
