NEW WOLFSTAR FIC
The girl came up to the bar and grinned. She had coily hair with star barrettes, and a lip piercing that glinted in the dim lamplight. Remus noticed her warm eyes lingering on Lily with apparent interest.
“A Plisner, lager, Cosmo, and a daquiri, please.” She slid a card over. “You can start a tab.”
“Coming up,” Lily swooped in, subtly hip-checking Remus out of the way. The girl’s interest was clearly reciprocated. “Lemme guess, you’re a daquiri.”
“Guilty.” The girl replied, leaning on the bar top. Remus shook his head in amusement and filled the pilsner. “How’d you know?”
“Classy and elegant. Clearly made for you.”
“Classy and elegant, huh? So what do you make of my friend’s drink requests?” The girl gestured to the three boys sitting at the booth, laughing amongst themselves.
“Hm,” Lily mused as she tossed a rum bottle while mixing. “Lager for the glasses. Easy going, seems a little nostalgic.”
“How you say that?”
“He’s wearing a college sweater and clearly hasn’t been enrolled for a few years.”
The girl snorted. “True. Alright, what about Plisner?”
“Blonde. Lightweight. Seems to be here for a good time. He’s enjoying just watching the other two banter.”
The girl’s eyes flicked over to Remus, twinkling.
“She’s good. Why don’t you tell me why a Cosmo fits my last friend?”
They both looked at Remus expectantly. Lily’s eyes were wide and pleading, clearly saying “don’t make me look bad in front of the pretty lady.”
Remus studied the last boy sitting in the booth. It was hard to tell from across the room, but there was definitely an elegance in the way he held himself. He had long, dark hair that spilled perfectly down his shoulders, and the dim lamplight threw sharp cheekbones and a jawline into clear relief. He wore ripped up jeans, a baggy band shirt, and a leather jacket. Remus couldn’t make anything of him, nothing as impressive as Lily’s deductions.
So instead—
“Looks like he’s a pain in the ass.”
There was a pause, and the girl burst into laughter.
“Oh that’s lovely,” she hooted. “You’re both my new favorite people. Mary McDonald. Nice to meet you.”
