Thanks to Coco96 for beta-ing this stuff for me!
The stars shone as brightly as they could during midnight. The two wizards, who lied on a blanket upon the floor, were looking at the midnight blue sky and the stars.
One set of stars in particular.
"The Sirius constellation is certainly bright tonight," said the blonde man on the left, pointing at the Dog Star in mock curiosity.
The other wizard feigned shock. "Blasphemy! Oh, such blasphemy lies upon your mouth."
"Padfoot," said the blonde.
"Yes?"
"Stop being such a–" He suddenly stopped and smirked. "Drama Queen."
Padfoot rolled his eyes. "Shut up, Moony."
Moony playfully glared at him and hit him on the head.
"Remus! Moony! Don't be so violent!" He said with a surprised tone.
Remus scowled, as if he hadn't been on the receiving end of Sirius' violence before.
"Why do you hurt me every day?" Padfoot said in feigned sadness.
"Correction, Sirius," Remus said to the boy. "I'm the victim here."
Sirius scowled. "Yeah, right Moony. You're actually forgetting why we are here. Hey!" Sirius stood up and pointed at him. "You're forgetting something, Moony! You're getting old!"
Said person rolled his eyes. "Padfoot, I'm five months younger than you, don't you remember?" Remus scoffed. "And I'm not forgetting anything."
Crossing his arms, Sirius lifted a brow and asked in disbelief, "Really?"
Remus nodded. "Of course, Pads. We're here because we're planning Prong's secret party or something, aren't we?"
"Yep," Sirius said. "And you don't have to worry. I nicked his cloak, and we're safe from professors and Prefect gits."
"Sirius, I'm a prefect–"
Sirius laughed. "Of course you are, Moony! That's why you're here with me!"
The werewolf rubbed his eyes and sighed. "Sirius, I've told you I don't want to be part of your silly rebellion against everyone in your life. I mean–"
The animagus cut him off. "Shut up, Moony. You have to hear the rest of the story to understand," he said with finality, at to which Remus could only nod.
oOoOoOo
Sunrise was up when Sirius finished with the rest of the plan. Remus had rolled his eyes at most of the ideas but wisely kept his mouth shut. Sirius didn't like to be interrupted, and Remus didn't want to fight right now.
But at the near end, Remus started to get confused.
"How exactly is Prongs going to get Lily's muggle nail polish? Won't that be a bit hard to come by here at our wizarding school?"
Sirius smirked. "Already ordered it."
"And how do we charm Dumbledore and McGonagall to dance the Macarena?"
The animagus tilted his head and looked thoughtful. "I'm working on that one, but the rest is already taken care of. I am, however, asking for your help. Please, Moony," he begged, something Blacks didn't do, even if they were horrible blood-traitor Gryffindors.
Remus rolled his eyes but smiled. Sirius was cute when he did that, and there was no shame behind that statement. Remus liked Sirius; Sirius, most probably, reciprocated. However, James and Lily were a priority right now.
"Sure, Padfoot," he said, and he could have sworn he heard the devil laugh.
Two days later, just after Prong's birthday bash in the common room, Sirius and Remus had to break up Prongs and Lily as said girl was trying to strangle said boy.
Yep, Lily was definitely in love with Prongs, Sirius thought. However, we all know that Sirius is not the most intelligent man there is.
