Green Tea
Autumn 1977


It was just like any other autumn evening in Hogwarts. The Marauders just finished their last class and they were just lounging around in the Gryffindor common room, enjoying the warmth of the fireplace while the wind and rain howled outside.

Sirius put his quill down and reached for his mug. As he sipped the steaming green tea inside the mug, the others turned in bewilderment at him.

"What?" Sirius said defensively.

"Since when do you like…" James stood up, sniffed at the mug Sirius was holding, and continued, "Green tea?"

Peter laughed. "Since Sirius has a crush on Barry! You know, Barry Smith, with the brown hair and super long legs!"

Sirius blushed and Remus fidgeted in his couch where he was reading his book. Meanwhile, James roared with laughter.

"Alright, alright! I might have a little crush on Barry. I'm gay, okay?"

James shrugged. "Yeah, we know. So?"

Sirius jumped up in surprise. "You knew? Since when?" Sirius looked around, and finding that everyone in his gang, the three people who have been his friends the longest, didn't look the slightest bit surprised, he added, "You all knew about this?"

"Well yeah, I mean, it's kinda obvious, you know. Ever since you got close with that Ravenclaw, Andrew, we sort of knew," James responded.

"Oh my God! You guys knew about it! Even you, Moony?"

James raised his eyebrows. "Why 'even you, Moony'?"

Sirius shrugged. "Anyways, you guys are okay with all this?"

James laughed again and ruffled Sirius's hair. "You kidding me? Of course we are! It doesn't change anything about you!"

Sirius sighed with relief and they all went back to what they were doing again. The rest of the evening passed by uneventfully.


The next morning, James woke up to find that the other beds were still filled with snoring boys, except for Remus's bed which was empty. As he went down to the common room he found Remus already dressed and awake, nose deep into another one of his terribly thick books as was his morning routine.

"Morning," he said and sat next to Remus.

Remus mumbled in reply.

Bored, James looked around the table and noticed that Remus had a mug next to his book. "What's that you're drinking, Moony?"

Remus didn't look up from his book and just dragged the mug towards James. As James peeked, the smell was unmistakable, since James had only smelled that scent last night. It was green tea.

"Green tea?" James said, questioningly.

"Hmm?" Remus finally took his eyes from his book. "Well, yeah. I drink it every morning."

James realised that what Remus said was true, Remus do drink green tea every morning since who knows when. He was too shocked with the revelation to even say a word. All he did was nod. Remus, meanwhile, was oblivious to James's surprise and went back to his book.

"Well, I guess we know that Sirius does not have a crush on Barry," James mumbled to himself.
