Author's Notes: I wrote this the morning before HP6 came out:

Just finished writing this at 7am, haven't slept yet. HP6 is out in just hours! Can't sleep! Haven't gotten this betaed so don't flame please. This seemed hysterical to me before but then again I'm tired so lots of things are funny to me right now.

Lupin and Sirius sat at the kitchen table next to each other. Sirius was staring at the table's surface, sulking.

"Snape is going to be here in a couple hours." Sirius grumbled, "The git always has to have a go at me, and in my own house!" Sirius snarled. Remus gave Sirius a look that he could read with ease.

"I know," Sirius said sighing, "I need to stop letting him bait me like that but I feel like a bloody coward just sitting here."

"You know that nobody thinks you're a coward. I certainly don't think that. Snape feels better when he makes you upset. Don't let it show that he gets to you." Lupin swung his arm around Sirius' shoulder as he said this.

Sirius sighed again, "You're right Moony. Just promise you'll help me jinx him if he does anything to Harry. I still don't trust him not to cause trouble."

Lupin smiled, "Of course"

They leaned in and gave each other a slow but heartfelt kiss. It left them both breathless and smiling as they kissed again.

Somewhere in distance they heard the kitchen door open. This noise did not register in their brains until, "Cured! Completely cured!" They froze, lips still locked and arms still around each other, eyes wide.

"Merlin's beard!" Mr. Weasley's voice rang out again. Sirius and Remus broke apart quickly, flushing red with embarrassment and refusing to the meet the eyes of their on-lookers. All of the Weasley's, Harry and Hermione stood stock still in the doorway, all looking as if they'd been hit with a full body bind curse.

Harry made a half snort-laugh and slapped his hand over his mouth before it could turn into a full bout of laughter. The slap cracked loudly in the kitchen and everyone looked at him with either shock or interest.

Sirius looked interested and said, "Well, laughter is better than screams of disgust." He then shrugged and looked at Lupin slightly relieved.

Ron poked Harry's shoulder and whispered, loudly, "What's so funny?"

Harry looked dangers at Ron, "Nothing, it was…rude. Nothing…"

Sirius, who had over heard this, said hopefully, "Go on. We don't mind. Some laughter could break the tension."

Harry looked torn between running and blurting. Eventually he chose the latter.

"Does this make Professor Lupin my fairy godmother?" Harry rushed out before slapping his hand over his mouth again to cover his laugh.

There was a beat of silence as the words sunk in. Then nearly everyone in the kitchen burst out laughing along with Harry, who had stopped smothering his when Sirius and Remus smiled.

Lupin chuckled, "I suppose you could say that."

Hope you enjoyed.
