Her Smile
Sirius sat in the armchair, his eyes drifting from a nervous looking Lily to a pacing, panicking Remus. He guessed he could understand Remus' reaction, but it was still irritating him beyond belief.
"I need to think, I need to think, I need to think," Remus muttered manically.
"I don't care what you think about it. I want to know what you are going to do about it," Sirius snapped, rubbing a hand over his face. Lily was worrying her shirt between her fingers, the look on her face one of abject misery.
"Sirius!" she scolded. "I told you this was a bad idea." Turning to Remus, her eyes softened. "Remus, I'm so sorry we put you in this position. It's not fair on anyone, I know. We just... We didn't want to hurt Potter's feelings if this ...thing... is nothing."
Sirius heart clenched at her words. They were still just a thing. He didn't want to be just a thing anymore. It was, admittedly, a foreign feeling, but he wasn't just chasing tail with Lily. There was something about her that drew his attention no matter what she was doing.
"Remus, I'll tell James. This weekend. Just... let's get the last tests out of the way first, alright?"
With a tired nod, looking somewhat relieved that the decision had been taken away from him, Remus moved towards the staircase that led to the Boys dorm. Before he climbed the first step, he turned back. "For what it's worth? I think after some sulking and a couple of hexes aimed at Sirius, James will be fine."
The smile on Lily's face made it all worth it to Sirius.
It was just one of the many things he loved about her.
