A/N: Short and sweet little one-shot, made when my friend Raina made a list of all the guys at our school and whether she should date them. So this is dedicated to her because she's too stupid to see that one of her other friends (who was also there when she made it)is completely in love with her. Enjoy!
The List:
Remus Lupin hated that list. He hated Sirius Black's bloody list.
Ever since fifth year Sirius has had a list of all the girls (fifth year through seventh) at Hogwarts, not counting Slytherins. He wanted to see if he could date all of them. Of course there were a few exceptions, like Alice, Molly, and Lily, but only because they were taken by friends of his. Once he'd finish his conquest he'd cross out their name, coming back to the dorm and giving them the all the details Remus didn't want to hear. And every year a good number of girls were crossed out.
Remus hated that list not because it was another way for his fellow Marauder to take advantage of them and live up to his 'Womanizer' status, but because none of the girls deserved Sirius. He thought of himself as a hypocrite, seeing as he didn't deserve Padfoot anymore then they did, but jealousy still haunted him. At first he had though it to be ridiculous – why should hecare that Sirius was defiling the female population of Hogwarts? It didn't involve him, so he shouldn't care. But he did.
Now, you can't blame him for being happy when that damn list was finished.
Three out of four Marauder's sat in the common room, one reading, the other two laughing at their latest prank, when the fourth Marauder walked in, sulking. He sighed dramatically, flopping down next to the bookworm. Remus didn't look up, didn't show any sign of hearing him besides the fond smile spreading across his mouth. Sirius frowned, sighing again, slightly louder. Remus turned a page. Fed up, Sirius collapsed in the werewolf's lap, knocking the book over while sighing as loud as he could.
"Sirius! What's wrong and why is it more important then my book?" He said, faking anger. Sirius smiled childishly up at him before bursting into faux sobs.
"Oh the horrorMoony! The horror! My list, my precious list, is finished!" The dramatic teen pretending to faint, still lying in Remus's lap.
"Oh no, however will you go on." Remus said, sarcasm dripping from his voice. Sirius opened one eye to look up at him, before stage whispering.
"Shh!I'mdead!" He closed his eyes again and draped a hand across his forehead. James looked up from where he was sitting.
"Really? Wicked! I call his broomstick!" He yelled, racing up the stairs. Sirius sat straight up, whipping his head around to glare at James.
"I've been cured! LEAVE MY BROOMSTICK ALONE, JAMES!" He yelled before turning to Peter.
"Make sure he doesn't take my broomstick, Wormtail." The rat-like boy nodded before standing up and (there's no other word for it) scurrying up the stairs. Sirius turned and grinned at Remus.
"Now moving onto my next list!" Remus groaned internally. "Would you like to see it?" Sirius's voice went nervous and he started fidgeting restlessly. Remus sighed, deciding he might as well find out whom he was going to resent for the rest of the year. Because there was no denying it any longer – he'd hate anyone he touched hisSirius, regardless to the fact that he had no claim.
"Sure, let's see it." Biting his lip Sirius reached inside his robes and pulled out a small piece of parchment and handed it with shaking hands to Remus. Remus looked suspiciously at the dog animagus before slowly unfolding the parchment. Remus gaped as he read Sirius's tell-tale scrawl.
Sirius's list of... loves?
REMUS LUPIN
Remus glanced up at Sirius, wide-eyed. Finding his voice, he spoke.
"Is this a joke?" He breathed, blushing furiously. Sirius fidgeted some more before he started babbling.
"No, of course not, Moony. I've loved you since fifth year and I tried to distract myself but that didn't work and I wanted to tell you but I was afraid and I totally understand if you don't return the feelings I still want to be friends but I don't want things to be awk-" Remus cut him off, jumping on the dark haired boy while pressing their lips together. Their mouths started moving furiously, hands tangled in hair, and tongues and teeth clashed. It wasn't perfect, it wasn't movie-worthy, but it was by far the best kiss they had ever had.
"I love you too, you stupid dog." The werewolf whispered when the pulled back.
No one can really blame him for being happy when that bloody list was finished, or when that new list was made.
Review! I know the ending is kind of cheesy, but it was the best I could come up with. Review! Oh, check out my poll, even though there is sadly no Remus/Sirius options yet, I am working on it! Enjoy! Review!
