"I've never heard of it before, so it's fair to say I don't hate it, at least for now."
Remus felt a surge of anger go through him as the wolf rise from its usual dormancy between full moons. Trying to hide the lupine gold that he knew his eyes had changed to by burying his face in Ferret's shoulder again, he fought the urge to snarl. Just because Ferret had accepted him didn't mean she wanted his affliction rubbed in her face. Especially given as a Pureblood she'd probably grown up hearing unpleasant things about werewolves.
Breathing in deeply and slowly, Remus managed to get himself back under control. Waiting until he was sure his eyes had returned to normal, he looked at Ferret and gave her a small smile. "Well, whaddaya say we break the cycle? Why don't we ditch the parties come Valentine's Day and go hang out somewhere else. We both get to spend a fun evening with a friend, I'm hardly going to be missing out on a hot date and hopefully you'll be spared any further cruelty." He frowned, suddenly feeling unsure. "Only if you want to though. I understand if you have plans, or get a better offer..."
As Ferret hugged him more tightly Remus placed a friendly kiss on the top of her head. "Don't mention it. That's what friends - best friends? - do."

"It is so good," Ferret gushed. "Its the way Americans commit suicide slowly, Emric says." She smiles softly. "He is defiantly getting a more American accent."
She felt Remus bury his face in her shoulder. She closed her own eyes holding back tears. It hurt but she didn't want him to hurt. She let him calm down, trying her hardest to push the stories of werewolves from her mind. Remus wasn't like that, Remus was a good person.
But she smiled and it was her turn to bury her face in his shoulder. "No, that sounds great. I just want some company come Valentine's day. But promise me, if someone asks you on a date, don't say no on my account. I'll just go to the Hogs Head or something." She smiles. "I hightly doubt I will get a better offer without be suspicious."
Ferret smiled up at him. "Am I your best friend now Mr.Lupin?" she asked, not opposed to the idea.

"Well then, my dear, feel free to consider me your Valentine's Day date." Remus grinned. "And I promise, though really the odds of anyone asking me are slim to none. I think you'd probably have more luck getting James to ask Sirius than finding a girl who'd ask me out, let alone on Valentine's Day."
Remus smiled back at Ferret. "Well, as jealous as it may make Lily or James, yes," He thought about it for a moment, "I think you are.

"You give yourself some credit man," Ferret told him, hitting his arm gently. But she smiled. She had a date for Valentine's Day. A real date. Or sort of a real date. She had someone who wouldn't try to hurt her.
But she smiled and wrapped her arms tighter around Remus. "I will risk their wrath if you do," she said teasingly. She buried her face in his shoulder, smiling widely. "I'm glad your my best friend now Remus. Its nice to have a friend like you. Honest. Good. Smart. Someone who won't prank me if they get the chance." She giggled.

Remus faked a wince as Ferret hit him in the arm and rubbed the 'injury', pouting. "Owwwww. You meanie!" Of course it hadn't really hurt. Slight as Ferret's build was and as gently as she'd hit, she couldn't have hurt anyone, let alone a supernaturally strong and resistant werewolf. "And I promise, if you prove to me that girls do in fact think of me as," He blushed, "A date-worthy prospect, I will give myself more credit in future." He offered her his pinky to shake on it.
Remus smiled as Ferret snuggled into him and pressed her face against his shoulder. "Some one who won't prank you? I can't make any promises there should the right opportunity arise. But they won't be mean-spirited pranks, I swear. And if you're really against it I guess I can restrain myself." He gave a cheeky grin. "Also, such lovely things you're saying about me." He joked, winking at her, "What is it that you're after, crafty little Ferret?"

Ferret smiled and took his pinky, shaking it. "Deal," she told him, smiling widely.
Ferret laughed softly. She forgot that Remus didn't know about her friend Ash, who was also her best friend, who pranked everything that moved but held still long enough. But that wasn't a big deal really. She didn't really get to see Ash lately, being in different houses and all.
Didn't mean she didn't miss him.
But she smiled at Remus. "What makes you think I'm after anything?" she asked. She winked playfully. "Who knows, maybe I'm reciting you to join my army against the rats in the dungeon."

"The steady stream of compliments, most like. If you were James or Sirius I'd be sure I was being buttered up for something." Remus smiled. "I joke, however. I highly doubt you'd pull anything as bad as what those two hellions have needed help fixing."
Remus winked back at her. "The rats in green or the ones in fur?" Remus joked, chuckling slightly. "Either way, I'm in." A sound from the doorway drew his attention and Remus noticed Madam Pince starting to begin the familiar routine of packing up the Library for the day. Grabbing his bookbag from the seat next to him, he started packing his books back into it, making sure not to move to much so as to not disturb Ferret's hold on him.
"Looks like Pince is packing up for the day," Remus nodded in the elderly Librarian's direction. "We should probably get headed back to the commonroom sometime soon. But its okay - we can cuddle as we walk!"

"Never!" Ferret said, sounding a bit offended but smiled. "What if I say both?" she asked. "Although, the ones in green are more snakes than rats. More dangerous just as fun to mess with."
Looking around, she too noticed the librarian getting ready to go. Smiling, Ferret grabbed her bag before wrapping her arms once again around Remus.
"Cuddling and walking sounds like an awesome idea," she said, smiling up at him. "And then we can explain why a known lesbian is cuddling one of the all famous Maraurders." She smiled and buried her face happily into his shoulder. "We may need to walk in time so one of us don't fall."

Remus groaned softly "Oh I'll never hear the end of it from Sirius 'The Sexy One' Black. No matter what I tell him he'll refuse to believe I didn't seduce a lesbian just to spite him. But oh well." He grinned. "It'll be worth it."
Remus adjusted the hug until his arm was around Ferret's shoulder and hers around his, ensuring that they would be able to walk. Grabbing his bookbag and pushing in his chair, Remus turned around and headed out of the Library and back to Gryffindor Tower, keeping his pace steady and slow to ensure that Ferret wouldn't fall.
