"No Caradoc today?" Aurora asked Benjy as he settled down on her desk chair, entertaining himself by spinning around on it.
"No," He pouted. "He had to go to work."
Aurora tried to hold the small laugh. "That's what tends to happen when you have a job."
"Not like you would know." Benjy teased, sticking his tongue out at her.
"Ew, put your tongue away, I don't need to see that." She said, face scrunched.
"So is this what you usually do all day? Sit around drawing, reading, sleeping and eating?" Benjy asked, picking up some of the rough sketches on her desk.
"It's not all I do." Aurora tried to defend herself.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot about drooling over Remus. My bad."
"I do not drool over him!"
"Yes, you do," He said. "Because what is this?" He was holding up a drawing of Remus that she had done sometime during the week.
Aurora got up from her place on the bed and walked over to him, plucking the paper out of his hands. "It looks like a very good drawing of some attractive man, that looks like Remus, but definitely isn't. Hmm the artist is very talented however."
"Okay, no need to toot your own horn," Benjy snorted. "And that is most certainly Remus."
Aurora looked back down at it again. It definitely was a drawing of Remus. In the picture he was reading. She had to trust her memory a lot to draw it.
"Shut up Benjy." She grumbled, placing the paper back down on the desk.
Benjy hummed happily. "Is there a particular reason why you're drawing him? And I'm going to guess that he doesn't know—slightly creepy by the way."
Aurora glared at her best friend, picking up a pillow and throwing it at him.
"What? I'm just saying."
"No he doesn't know," She huffed. "And I don't know why. He's just the first thing I thought of."
Benjy grinned, much like the Cheshire Cat. "You definitely like him."
"I do not like him." She countered.
"Yes, you do. And don't even try to deny it."
"I'm going to deny it because it isn't true." She flopped back on to the bed, Benjy standing up from his seat and joining her.
"Come on, who have you spent basically every day with since you moved in here?"
"Remus." She mumbled.
"Exactly." He turned his face to give her a pointed look.
