Thank you!  I had a lot of fun with this.  It seemed to me that with such awful pick up lines flying through the air, Remus would probably use something a little more earnest and therefore effective.  ;)

He was a sort of ring-leader, daring the others like that.  It's probably payback for a great many things.  ;)  Thanks for the review!

Thank you!  I'm so glad to have found someone who enjoys pirate day, too!  The pick-up lines just seemed to lend themselves to this particular group of people.

Odd to realize that the wife he will one day leave--for an unspecified length of time--is about four or five years old when this story happens. Anyhow, Remus is sort of the happy medium between the hapless Wormtail and the overconfident James and Sirius.  That's why I figured he might succeed where the others failed.  Or maybe he used Lily's approach.  I'm glad you liked this.  I know you mostly despise the Marauders to a man.

Thank you!  I read a list of pirate pickup lines and the Maurauders simply come to mind.  I'm glad you enjoyed it!
