"April showers bring May flowers."

Padfoot whimpered, resting his shaggy head on the windowsill as he looked longingly outside. Hermione rolled her eyes at his antics, placing a bowl of food and water on the ground beside him before turning to look at Remus.

"Does he have to do this all the time?"

"Do what?" Remus asked, stifling a grin as he watched his two friends. James was sat next to him, not even hiding his amusement.

"You know what, but I'll humour you," Hermione huffed. "Does he have to act like a real dog when it rains and he's not allowed outside? Remus, I just gave Sirius his lunch in a bowl. A bowl."

"When it rains, Sirius finds the outside more interesting as a dog," Remus explained.

"Because he can jump in puddles and get muddy," James added which only caused Hermione to glare. "He's not even interested in the fact that the rain is hindering his play time or that it is making flowers grow. It is purely for his puddles."

"He's not jumping in puddles and coming back into my home. I'll shave him before he can get anywhere near."

Padfoot's whimper was loud and when they turned to look at him, his puppy eyes were turned on Hermione, who merely blinked back at him.
