His cheeks flushed a bit when he laughed. Remus watched the paper bounce off his forehead. He looked at Severus and grinned, seeing the smile.

And then his face dropped when he heard Jessie, no, Jackie, say something. He leaned in on the table. "She's not my girlfriend." His eyes narrowed.

"I'll leave you to your reading, Severus." He said as he stood. "I'll meet you in the Potions room tomorrow after classes." He said it with another smile. This time he'd make it.

He turned to leave, going to help out -- that girl.
