RP: You Got Some 'Splainin' to Do
Who: Remus, poking James, Sirius - open to housemates

Rating/Warning: We'll see. I don't anticipate much higher than PG-13
Summary: James and Sirius fill Remus in.
Status: Limited, ongoing

He was pretty sure that Leah had mentioned something about the government providing housing for the displaced individuals, but he hadn't really looked into it yet. He'd been intending to, but he'd been more curious in exploring the area, searching out wizards and the like, killing some hell-demons when he came across them. He'd met a few faces, and none seemed terribly excited about their current circumstances. Not that he could really blame them.

He'd finally figured out the strange muggle device and posted to the journals, and really wished he'd done it sooner. James and Sirius were both here, apparently, though further news he'd heard on the subject kind of made him wish that they were still giving him the silent treatment and assuming he was the spy.

James and Lily had... died? Someone had turned them into Voldemort? How? He was pretty sure that when everyone said hiding, Fidelus was implied, and that meant that Sirius had been involved and... but if Sirius was the spy, why was James living with him and trusting him? So that couldn't be what had happened...

It was making his brain hurt, and it didn't help that James wasn't specific as to which of the government houses they were living in, though he quickly clarified that one, moving toward the door and knocking briefly, though he didn't wait for anyone to answer if it was unlocked, pushing it open without thinking about who else might live there and what he might be interrupting.

"Prongs?" he called out as he stepped inside, stomping his feet off on the mat, considering taking off his boots. "Pads?" He hoped he'd gotten the right house.

He just sort of grinned when he saw James come down the stairs, and accepted the embrace, wrapping his own arms tightly around him. "Yeah, well, you know us wolves, mate. Poorly socialized. Not fit to spend too much time in public, you know? Or at least that's what the tell me."

He grunted slightly when Sirius joined them. "Don't do me any favours there, Pads." He started to pull away after a momnent, mostly because there were more pressing things than standing around all night hugging. Like dealing with James statement that he'd died. "How long've you been here, anyway, that I'm so late?"

Yeah, okay, so he wasn't quite ready to deal with it yet. He was still entertaining ideas that he'd read wrong, or that it had been some kind of joke gone wrong, and that if he just ignored it it would go away.

"Ah. Couple weeks, I guess? Give or take? I was here for a few days before Pads decided to haul his sorry arse over here," James elaborated. "Spent most of that time bounding around as Prongs. Spying on Lils and the like," he continued.

His hand twitched in an abbreviated motion to reach out for Sirius, and he thought they should break that news to Remus a little more gently. "So right, like I mentioned, Lils is here, but she's shacked up with Sniv. Or was, before he decided to go missing. So he was here, but isn't here now," James continued.

Somehow, he doubted this was going to go over much better than the 'dead' comment, but he had brought up spying on Lils, and why would he have done that if there wasn't a reason?

"We're pretty sure he hasn't got her under a spell," Sirius clarified as he was sure Remus would come to the conclusion that that was the only way anyone would hook up with Severus. He hadn't been entirely convinced until Sev disappeared. If he was gone, the spell would have worn off, he thought. Strangely, Lily still seemed to miss him.

"Oh, and mate, he's old," he added. Of course, after he spoke, he realized they had an awful lot of ... new information to share with Remus. Maybe they should try to space it out a bit.

So he bit his tongue, resisting the urge to just spill everything all at once.

They were holding back on something, and he doubted it was entirely making an effort that his brain didn't explode with all the new, strange stuff they were sharing, so he started preparing himself for whatever bomb they were going to drop once they got all the other information out of the way.

"So Lily's here, but as Lily Evans, and she's shacked up with Severus?" he repeated, making sure he'd heard that right. "And Severus is old," he made a kind of confused face at that, but it was mostly because of the implied age difference (Snape was supposed to be their age, right? Why was he older here?), not the relationship. And even then, he wasn't sure how old old had to be before it was stressed like that. Five years? Ten?

He couldn't say he was altogether surprised that Lily Evans had wound up with Severus Snape, though, age difference or not. He suspected he might even be happy for her, in a vague sort of I-don't-even-know-what's-going-on-right-now sort of way.

Realizing he was expected to have a stronger reaction to that news, he somewhat belatedly tacked on an indignant, "What sort of twisted alternate reality have we ended up in?"

James laughed softly. "He's got to be at least eighty, mate," James said cheerfully to Remus. "All wrinkly and grey haired. He must polyjuice himself to look like me when they shag," he continued arrogantly. James' expression shifted a little before he shrugged. "She seemed happy. Smiling and glowing like she used to before ... before the end of our marriage. So why put her through all that again, yeah? We don't know how long we're stuck here; she may as well be happy while she's here."

Gesturing, James started to lead Remus toward the front room. "We've got interesting housemates, mate," he began. "Bet you'll meet them. Where're you staying?" he continued as he flopped down onto the couch, one arm draped over the back of it for Sirius to join him. Habit more than anything really, and when he caught on, he dropped his hand to rest on his thigh instead.

"Oh, and get this. I've got a granddaughter here," he said before he dropped his eyes. "Had. She's missing, too. Lot of people suddenly went missing just before the weekend. No one's got any idea where they are yet."
