Death by chocolate
Death by chocolate (The stupid website keeps repeating my first line.)
I was inspired to write this when eating a croissant this morning.
Remus was reading a murder mystery; he loved trying to solve them before the detective.
"Hmm…I wonder who might have killed him?"
"Chocolate," pronounced Sirius without looking up from his comic.
"I'm sorry?"
"Chocolate's pretty violent stuff you know Remus, I mean come on: DEATH by chocolate, PAIN au chocolat.
"It's pronounced, "pan" Sirius.
"I know," replied Sirius grumpily, " 'The Black heir must have all sorts of skills, including being able to speak a foreign language.' I chose French."
"Vraiment? Tu parles Français? C'est super!"
"Wait, Moony, you speak French too?" Sirius' eyebrows shot up in surprise.
"Mais oui. My mum used to live there and it's practically all we speak at home." Sirius sighed.
"There's so much I don't know about you Moony." Remus smiled,
"Why don't you make a list then?"
"Quoi?"
"Make a list of all the things you do know about me and then figure out what you don't and write the questions at the bottom and I'll answer them." He saw a glint in Sirius' eye and amended hastily, "If they're not too personal." Sirius dug around for a piece of parchment, quill and ink in his bag before settling down to write, keeping his arm around his work to stop Remus from peeking. After about half an hour, a lot of which he spent in thought, Sirius folded the parchment neatly and dropped it in Remus' lap. Remus opened it, automatically smoothing out the creases and this is what he read:
Padfoot's list
Your name is Remus John Lupin
You are in Gryffindor
You speak fluent French
You're sexy when you speak French
I like your hair and the way it flops into your eyes
You love chocolate
Your eyes are the colour of chocolate
If you could choose how you died, you'd probably want to drown in chocolate (yet another way that it's dangerous)
I want to cover you in chocolate and lick it off
Questions
Have I made it obvious enough that I fancy you?
Do you fancy me?
Remus looked up after reading it for the second time.
"Those are pretty personal questions, however I think I might be prepared to answer them: Yes, yes. Oh, and I like your second chocolate idea, I'll bear that in my mind. Now come here, je dois t'embrasser."
Sorry if any of my French is wrong, please feel free to correct me and I'll change it.
Here are the translations:
"Really? You speak French? That's great!"
"But of course"
"What?"
"I need to kiss you."
