Disclaimer: No, I don't own Harry Potter. No, I am not J.K. Rowling. Glad we cleared that up.
Author's Note: Um... I don't really know what this is. I suppose it is a drabble. Just a bit of dialogue between Remus and Sirius. Take it however you want. It may hint at a pairing or two but I didn't mean for this to be romantic. I didn't mean for this to be anything.

"I'm bored."
Remus Lupin had learned to fear those words coming from his best friend, Sirius Black's mouth, because whenever Sirius mentioned that he was bored something very bad always followed.
He looked up from the book he was pretending to read and saw that Sirius was staring intently at him from his seat in front of the fireplace. Remus sighed. "That only works on James now Sirius. Leave me alone," he said before turning back to his book.
Sirius shifted in his chair and continued to stare at Remus from behind his long bangs. "But Moony, I'm really, really bored."
"You sound like you're five," Remus replied, not looking up from his book and ignoring the sympathetic voice in his head telling him to humor Sirius.
He heard a huff come from Sirius' direction and smiled slightly. "Moony, stop being boring. It's Saturday. Reading is a crime on Saturday," he stated with conviction.
Remus rolled his eyes. That had to be the stupidest argument in the history of arguments. It was a shame that it was working so well.
"We should be doing something fun," Sirius continued.
He raised a questioning eyebrow and finally looked back at Sirius. "Like what? Hexing Slytherins for no apparent reason?"
"That's an excellent idea Remus!"
Apparently Sirius still doesn't understand the concept of sarcasm. Remus sighed again. "I was being sarcastic."
"So much for wishful thinking," Sirius muttered to himself while Remus scowled at him.
"Slytherins are people too Padfoot," Remus explained as his eyes dropped back to the words on the pages in front of him.
Sirius leaned forward and rested his chin on his palm. "I wouldn't be so sure of that Remus. Take Snivellus for example."
"Severus," Remus corrected off-handedly.
Sirius stared at him in shock. When he didn't say anything for five minutes, Remus looked up at him questioningly. "What?" he asked.
Sirius just continued to stare at him. Remus shifted uncomfortably.
"Sirius, we are adults. I just think it is time to put all this childish stuff behind us," he explained.
"You! You defended Snivellus!" Sirius cried in outrage.
He sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "Yes, I did Sirius."
"How could you do this to me, Remus!" he wailed. Several people in the common room turned to stare at him.
Remus gave him a glare that told him plainly to stop making such an idiot of himself. "I don't see what this has to do with you. All I did was state that Severus has a name."
"He's my mortal enemy! And you defended him." Remus could tell that Sirius was getting dangerously close to his pouting stage.
"He's hardly your mortal enemy Sirius. More like a childhood rival," he said with a hint of derision.
"But he's a Slytherin!" Sirius said, as though this meant everything in the world.
"Not all Slytherins are evil," he replied, casually turning a page in his book.
"I don't even know you Moony," Sirius said with a confused and hurt expression.
"At least you're not bored anymore," Remus replied with a hint of a smile.
Sirius glared at him. Remus merely continued to read his book.
