Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter
Remus was sitting in a muggle hospital surrounded by cooing nurses tending to his leg and Sirius's many injuries. He just wished they'd give them one minute alone to call Lilly or James, but they flat out refused to let either of them out of bed. So Remus was sporting a pearly white cast and Sirius was bandaged nearly head to toe. His flirtatious personality kept the nurses enthralled as they murmured things about how brave and courageous he'd been, fighting off a bear like that! With nothing but your bare hands? They swooned and Sirius laughed at his pun. Remus gave Sirius the keep-them-distracted-look as he struggled to fling himself off the bed. Finally up, he stealthily made his way clomping with each step on his broken leg, to the phone. Sirius, doing what he was told for once, had the nurses nearly eating out of his hand. Remus had no doubt if he'd asked them to, they would claw each other's eyes out to comply with his wishes first. Finally reaching the phone he called the Potter residence. It rang a few short times before a gurgling baby was heard.
"Hello Harry." Remus said softly, unable to help the smile at his very favorite nephew.
"Harry! Calling all your little friends again? Who is it this time?" James asked. "Hello?"
"James! Come get us now. We're in muggle hospital." Remus said.
"I thought you and Padfoot were on vacation?" James asked suspiciously.
"We lost the ship, I broke a leg, Sirius fought a bear. Come get us now." Remus growled.
"Sirius fought a bear?" James howled with laughter. "Lily, Lils, come here, you have to hear this! Sirius fought a bear."
"WHAT?" The line went muffled for a moment. "Who is this? Remus?"
"Please come save us Evans." Remus asked desperately.
"You're supposed to be on vacation and now I hear you're fighting bears?!"
"I'll explain it all when you get here. Just get me out of here NOW!" Remus shouted hanging up the phone. His outburst had drawn the nurses attention and they seemed to have fire in their eyes. Their determination to let this distraction from beloved Sirius would not stand.
