A/N: This is an AU where Pettigrew is caught as the traitor and Sirius doesn't go to Azkaban. My first try at a dialogue-only fic.
"Rem! Budge up!"
"Ow! This couch isn't big enough for both of us."
"It is now."
"It bloody well is not, I'm squashed."
"You know you like it."
"Humph."
"I've been thinking."
"There's a shock."
"Rem! You wound me."
"So sorry. What have you been thinking about?"
"I want to adopt Harry."
"Why? I thought he was going to his aunt and uncle's."
"I think he should live with us. We're wizards, and we were James and Lily's best friends."
"Dumbledore already said he needs to live with a blood relation."
"We could protect him better than those Muggles!"
"Maybe so. But we should obey Dumbledore's wishes."
"But you could convince him! You're persuasive."
"Only to you."
"Not like that!"
"I wasn't saying it like that."
"Oh. Good. Because Dumbledore's a bit too old for you, love."
"That's disgusting, Siri."
"Thanks. But anyway, you could talk to him. I think he'd listen."
"Maybe, or maybe not."
"Will you at least try?"
"I'd rather not."
"Why not?"
"Because I trust Dumbledore's judgment."
"What if he's wrong?"
"He's hardly ever wrong."
"But what if this time-"
"Will you give it a rest?"
"No need to snap."
"Sorry."
"..."
"..."
"Rem, don't you want to raise Harry?"
"Of course I do."
"Then why won't you try to bring Dumbledore round?"
"Because we can't raise him."
"Sure we can. We're of age."
"That's not the point. I shouldn't have children."
"He's not technically your kid. And besides, you'd be a great dad."
"Doesn't matter. It's not safe, Sirius."
"... We could make it safe."
"How? There's no foolproof way."
"We made it safe in school."
"That was not safe."
"We kept you in line."
"Mostly. Except for the time you-"
"That was my fault, not yours."
"It just showed us how dangerous I can be. Are you really willing to expose a child to that?"
"We could protect him. I know we could."
"You don't know. You think you know. There's a difference."
"I've lived with you for years. I know the risks."
"Then you should know why it's better to leave Harry out of it!"
"I also know you. You wouldn't hurt anyone."
"It's not really me, though."
"Somewhere, it is."
"Somewhere very distant that gets ignored."
"Rem... Please? Please talk to Dumbledore?"
"No!"
"Please, please, please-"
"Don't even try making that face."
"..."
"No!"
"Remmy..."
"Nope. You're not cute."
"You're not even looking at me!"
"Don't have to. I know what you look like."
"Rem..."
"Get off, you tosser."
"..."
"Mmmph-"
"..."
"..."
"..."
"...No amount of snogging will get you your way, Siri."
"But it'll help, right?"
"Won't make a difference. That was nice, though."
"I try. ...Please, Remus? Talk to Dumbledore?"
"I don't know..."
"I'll keep you safe. Both of you. I promise."
"You can't just promise that."
"Can too. I just did."
"Oh... alright. I'll try and convince him."
"Yay! I knew I loved you."
"Thanks so much."
"You're welcome."
"..."
"Rem, can I snog you again?"
"No, let me read in peace."
"But..."
"Don't give me that bloody look!"
A/N: And on they go, lol. Tell me what you thought, please! n.n
