Remus was surprised, but he nodded. “I’d like that… As long as we can go to honeydukes. I need my chocolate.”

Did Dorcas just ask him out? Or was it just as friends? No, he was pretty sure it was a date. Then again he hadn’t as much experience as his friends did. Maybe he should clarify? No, that’d be stupid. It was a date. Maybe.

“So, er, anyway, perhaps we should get to work then. You can only put it off for so long…”

“Honeydukes is a given, of course! Oh, and Zonko’s. I absolutely need to pick up a Fanged Flyer, I’ve been wanting one for ages.” Dorcas was grateful Remus accepted her offer, though why wouldn’t he? She was very desirable, right? Right. Absolutely, 100%.

“Ah ah ah,” she answered, holding out her finger to shush him. “You can only put it off for so long. I, on the other hand, can put it off forever if I so chose. Besides,” she continued, shrugging earnestly, “You’re so smart, not to mention handsome and funny and…uh…you have really pretty eyes. I think you’ve got this one on your own.”

“James and Sirius picked one up last week. I think Lily confiscated it, though. Granted, it did try to bite her in the ear… Anyway, they work well. I saw that they were coming out with a new version of dungbombs that go in water. I’m almost afraid to see what we’ll thin of with that one.”

Remus was caught off guard by her compliments and blushed deeply.  ”Oh. I. Thank you. You’re very pretty yourself. I. I’m sorry. I’m bad at this.” He reddened further and ducked his head.
