They had spent the rest of the morning walking around the library. And despite the teasing Remus got from Aurora, she was the one dragging him around, throwing books at him that she recommended he should read.

Eventually they had come out, with a few books borrowed, and had decided to go back to the house.

"Are you going out with the guys tonight?" Aurora asked him.

"Yeah, we're going to the Three Broomsticks." James had demanded that they all have some 'quality time' together, even though they saw each other every day, apart from Peter, but he usually comes round three times a week.

"Firewhiskey or butterbeer?" She asked another question.

"Butterbeer." He said.

"Butterbeer? Over firewhiskey?" Aurora questioned. "Why?"

"I have a high alcohol tolerance, so unless I plan on getting drunk, firewhiskey doesn't taste as great as butterbeer." He explained.

"Oh," Her nose wrinkled, and Remus couldn't help but think how cute it was when she did it. "That must suck for you." She flopped down on to the sofa, and he followed, sitting next to her.

"Favourite movie?" She asked, turning her head to look at him.

"Lord of the Rings. You?"

She mumbled something quietly that he couldn't really piece together. "What was that?" He asked, unable to stop a small grin spreading on his face at her small huff.

"The Aristocats." She admitted.

Remus couldn't help but laugh. "Your favourite film is a cartoon? About cats?"

"Don't make fun of it!" She pouted, hitting him lightly on the shoulder.

"I'm sorry," He really wasn't, but he managed to tone down his laughter. "Why the Aristocats?"

"Rosie made me watch it all the time last year." Aurora grumbled.

"That doesn't explain why it's your favourite." He told her.

With another huff, she elaborated. "It just became a comfort movie for me." At his smile she spoke again. "And yours is Lord of the Rings. You have no room to judge me."

"What's wrong with Lord of the Rings?" Remus questioned.

She opened her mouth to answer, but no response came, no matter how many times she opened and closed her mouth. "Fine," She grumbled. "Lord of the Rings is an alright movie."

"Thank you," He grinned. "I know that was hard for you to say." He patted her head condescendingly and she glared up at him, slapping his arm away.

"Favourite Star Wars character?"

Much like the day before they continued going back and forth, learning each others favourite things.

Remus didn't think he would have enjoyed sitting on a sofa for hours talking about his favourite book, hers was 1984; "Remus, it tried to predict how our lives would have been last year!" She got a bit carried away with why he should read it.
