Lily couldn't help but laugh. Remus had good aim, even if he didn't look. Then she answered Sirius's previous question- "Some of my family came to our house for a couple weeks this summer. It was quite a bit of fun."

At the sound of her voice, Peter's head whipped in Lily's direction. Her presence caught him completely off guard - he hadn't seen her when he first entered. For a few seconds he goggled at her, then he caught himself and hastily turned his gaze back to the window. He knew she was officially off-limits (James had only been pursuing her pretty much since first year), but he could never quite make himself forget her. He suspected that it was her gorgeous eyes... or perhaps her fiery hair... Whatever the reason, Peter was head-over-heels for her.

Lily turned around and faced Peter. She noticed he kind of looked startled, but he turned away quickly. She decided she would try to make him feel a little less uncomfortable (or so she hoped). "Hey, Peter, how was your summer?" She also found herself wondering, at the back of her mind if it would make James the slightest bit jelous that she could have a nice conversation with Peter, and not him.

Remus smiled at Wendy, fighting the chuckles himself. "I'm very multi-talented, yes. Excellent at multi-tasking." He grinned. Wendy fit right in with them.

Peter's heart leapt. Lily's talking to me?! TO ME?! Trying and, for the most part, failing not to freak out, Peter opened his mouth to speak and found he couldn't. He cleared his throat and managed to say, "Oh, f-f-fine. Fine, p-perfectly fine," in an unusually high-pitched and nerve-trembly voice.
Wendy was finally able to get her giggles under control. She smiled up at Remus, deciding that she liked him; she liked him very much. Who'd have thought such a quiet-natured boy could have such a sense of humor?
"Haha, clearly!" she said in response to his claims. "Find someone willing to pay you for that and you're all set!"

"Pay him for what, exactly?" Sirius asked, drifting in and out of the conversations around him. Perhaps if he could instigate just enough, Remus would find himself unconciously flirting for once... but Sirius would have to balance just perfectly between instigating and ignoring them altogether.

"Why Wendy, I believe you've just found me my dream job!" Remus grinned, aiming to kick Sirius again while still looking at Wendy.

"Hehe! Well, what can I say? I suppose I've got an eye for that sort of thing," she said, feigning pompousness and pretending to brush a bit of dust off her shoulder.

Remus snorted at Wendy's almost Prongs-ish attitude. "You missed a little," he said seriously, brushing off her other shoulder. Then he realized that he was voluntarily making physical contact with a girl, blushed, and withdrew his hand.

Wendy went slightly pink, too - mostly because Remus had. He'd been right about the gentleness. "Ah, yes, thank you! With my reputation and all it'd be no good to have any - God forbid - nonexistant dust on my robes!" she said with a flourish before dropping the charade and laughing at herself.
Reputation? What reputation? Cheapest homework help? Wendy girl, you're letting the Marauders get to your head!

"But of course! That's a risk that I, as a concerned peer, am not about to let you make," Remus said, getting all the way to 'concerned peer' before bursting out laughing, the rest of the sentence practically unintelligible.

Here I go again, Wendy thought as she once more dissolved into giggles. Boy, did the two of them know how to take a joke too far.
"Hahaha! It's g-good to know I've got p-people like you watching my b-back," she said between bursts of laughter.

"I've g-got your b-back if y-y-you've got mi--" Remus managed to choke before snorting loudly. His Achilles heel. It always made him laugh even harder than before. "Dammit!"

And of course, all of this only made Wendy laugh harder, hugging her stomach and leaning her head back; what some might call Full-Throttle Wendy-Laughing. In the back of her mind she wondered vaguely how the two quietest people in the compartment became the loudest and most obnoxious.
And though he'd been laughing through the entire sentence (or sentence fragment, anyway) Wendy had caught on to what he'd meant to say, and responded in more or less the same manner: "D-d-d - ahahaha!! - Done!"

Remus valiantly fought the snort that was building up, finally calming down after a minute or so. "Well, that was like a little adventure, wasn't it?" he grinned at her, a little worn out from laughing so much.
