RP: Remus and Sirius (maybe James Sirius) Who: Remus Lupin, Sirius Black (James Sirius if he wants) Where: Grimmauld Place When: Monday, 7 June, 2025 - late afternoon Rating/Warning: Summary: Remus stops by for a chat with his best friend and maybe ask a rare favour.
With end of the year so close, there was very little for Remus to keep himself occupied during normal 'office hours'. Most of the students were in their common rooms or revising in the library, not needing the professors so much as themselves. As much of the projects Remus was working on now were personal, family, or Order related, he didn't work on those in his office, which meant his office hours were growing shorter with less for him to do in the actual office.
That afternoon he was blowing them off all together in favour of dropping in on Sirius at home. The conversation with Marlene at Malfoy's party had reminded Remus he needed to ask his friend a favour -- if he could bring himself to do it, as it wasn't an easy favour for him to ask. But, more importantly, when they talked, it was almost always as a family these days.
Not that Remus minded that at all. He loved the way the four of them had drawn together as a unit. In his heart, when he said the words 'my family', he meant the three other men living in the house on Grimmauld Place. Of course, Ted was family as well. That went without saying. And Harry was as good as family. But, home and family meant this house and those three men.
Still, he and Sirius had been best friends before unofficial brothers and every now and again it was good to talk just the two of them, like they used to do.
Letting himself in the house, Remus listened for a moment, trying to hear movement in the floors above that might indicate where his friend was, if he was home. It was still a little early despite being later in the afternoon. When he couldn't make out enough sound, he started a floor to floor search, grinning and leaning in the doorway when he finally found him. "So this is where you're hiding," he teased. "I got bored and thought I'd come home so you could entertain me."
