Alice smiled gently, glad that someone had said hello to her. "Nice morning, isn't it?" She asked as she grabbed some food.

" 'ello!" Sirius grinned cheerfully to Alice, a girl he had adored since he'd met her. She was funny, kind, and -this is what he liked most about her- strong.
Then he turned to Marketa, who hadn't spoken for a few minutes. Sirius delicately wrapped his arm around her waist discreetly, and asked if she was okay in a low voice.

Alice smiled at Sirius. "Hey there." She replied in greeting. She found him hilarious. Him and James put together were a real hoot, and she enjoyed watching the two get into their mischief. She wouldn't say anything else after Sirius turned his attention to Marketa, and looked at her food instead.

Marketa, who'd been staring at a polished over knot in the table and thinking about Sirius, Yvonne, Sirius and Yvonne, and occasionally throwing herself into the mix too, looked up and blushed with the sudden closeness. Though she had no objections to it, of course. "I'm fine," she whispered back, "just t'inking." She smiled brightly as if to prove that she was fine.

Sirius was relieved when he saw her face light up. "Anything you want to share?" he asked, wanting to talk with her some more.

Marketa bit her lip and looked up and down the table. People were too close; they would hear everything. She leaned toward him and said in a low voice "Not 'ere, later." Then she smiled tightly again and turned back to following the grain of the wood with her eyes.

"M'kay," Sirius mumbled, finally reaching for something to eat. In this case, it was toast.
He would totally just run off with her right now, the curiosity was beginning to nibble at him, but he decided to stay for a little while - for the sake of Remus Lupin's sanity.
Sirius knew what he must be thinking...

Alice sighed gently as she took a few bites before she pushed her food away. She couldn't help but feel rejected at the Gryffindor Table. Sure, she talked to the people there a few times, but she never felt like she was in their circle. She would just look at their happy faces, and somehow feel like she was out of the loop. Sighing, she got up, looking at them with a slight look of longing before she walked out of the Great Hall and towards the grounds. Maybe she would practice some flying to throw off her emotions.

Remus noted with a raised eyebrow Sirius's arm wrapping around Marketa's waist. He, for the oddest reason, felt a strong mistrust toward the Czech girl. "So Marketa," he abruptly said, "isn't Durmstrang closer to where you live?"
Marketa turne her attention to Remus quickly and blushed at being in the spotlight. "Um...yes...?" Remus's eyes narrowed only slightly at her before he shrugged and turned back to his meal.

Bingo. There it was.
Sirius took a deep breath, letting exasperation and slight annoyance filter in through his nostrils - if it were a smell, that is. You'd think that Remus would be less suspicious of other people's intentions, him being the kindest werewolf on the planet.
But what if Remus didn't take to Marketa? Could he be able to pursue a girl that his friends didn't like? The other three marauders were his brothers... he took their opinions seriously.
Just as he needed to talk to Marketa this afternoon, Sirius supposed that he'd have to talk to Remus, as well. He'd surely get chewed out for staying with her all night, as well.

Marketa turned to Sirius and mouthed 'Have I done someting?' with wide eyes before she realized Remus was talking again.
"So, where were you last year anyway? I don't think I've ever heard of anyone having their lessons homework owled to them and such," he said suspiciously.
"Well...uh..." Mar stammered, trying not to blush as her accent thickened. "I schooled home, I just..." She looked at Sirius for some help. He had to be an expert fibber to be such a good prankster, right?

"She was taking care of her sick mother," Sirius said hotly, dropping his arm from Marketa's waist and balling it on his lap where no one would be able to see it.

Remus felt pretty much his entire life's supply of blood rush up to his face, both at the mention of the girl's mother and what was obviously a jab at his own full-moon excuses. "Thanks for the input, Black, but I believe I was asking Marketa," he retorted sharply before turning his view to the girl, but all she did was stammer. "It would have nothing to do with some of the rumors that have been floating around, would it?"

"Well, Marketa is my guest, so it's my job to ensure that my friends are polite to her. Who would've that that you, Lupin, would put draw your on conclusions based on rumors before EVEN ASKING!"
The fist in his lap began to shake, and his eyes turned apologetically towards Wendy, who Sirius had no problem with. Why couldn't Remus have the same courtesy towards his guest? There wasn't anything wrong or objectionable about Marketa.

"I have made no conclusons about anything, Black, but I sometimes feel compelled to ask questions when someone randomly goes missing and return a year later acting as if everything's right as rain! We are in the middle of a war, if you haven't noticed, which means that everyone can be suspected, no matter how much time you spend with them in the dead of night."
