Disclaimer: I do not own Remus Lupin. I do own his little sister in this little fic, Jules.
A/N: OMG, this is so short, but I think it's sweet. I tried to make it as long as possible, but after adding more details and doing a word count, it only came up to 401 words. Sorry.
~Little Girls In Nightgowns~
Five-year-old Remus Lupin was lying on his stomach on his bed flipping through the pages of his favorite book. It was all about creatures that only came out at night. Magical creatures and muggle animals like bats and stuff. He got bored after he had looked through it about five times. He decided to visit his little sister in her bedroom. She was just one year younger than him. He jumped off his bed, left his room and ran down the hallway to where his little sister would most likely be playing with her dolls before it was time to go to bed.
When he got to her door, he stopped and caught his breath. Breathing heavily, he lifted his arm up and tried to flex his arm muscles. After a few minutes, he put his arm down.
"I need to work on that some more," he said to himself, matter-of-factly. Then he lifted his hand and knocked on the door in front of him. There was no reply but he could hear her in there talking to herself, or to her dolls.
"Hey, Jules, it's me. Open up!"
"Who is it?" came a very high, very girly little girl's voice. Remus rolled his eyes.
"It's you favorite big brother," he said with a smile to himself.
"But I only have one brother," she said. Before he could reply she continued.
"And he's definitely not my favorite." Ouch, I'm hurt, thought Remus. He decided to ignore her last comment and said, "Can I please come in? I'm bored."
"I can't let you in," said Jules.
"Why not?" Remus asked, confused. Then he said, "Did you lock yourself in again with Mummy's wand? Jules! You know you are not supposed to play with it! It is not a toy!"
"Remmy!" came the little voice from the other side of the door, "I only did that once! And no, that's not why you can't come in."
"Then why not?" he asked, now getting irritated.
"I'm in my nightgown and Mummy says it isn't proper for little boys to see little girls in their nightgowns."
Remus thought about this for a moment, sighed, then said, "Well then, okay. Good night, Jules." He was about to walk away when his little sister called from inside the door. He stopped and turned back around as she spoke.
"You can come in now. I took it off."
A/N: lol, I crack myself up. hehehe
Please review! They are fun to read! Oh, and it you have an idea for another little Marauder fic, that'd be great!
