A/N: I apologize for the extreme shortness of this chapter, I just had to study for a rediculously huge exam and . . . yeah, that's my pathetic excuse. :)
Happy reading!
We Were Flabberghasted
The three boys and their girlfriends sat in the Gryffindor common room, somewhat alone, considering the late hour. However this did not seem to affect James and Sirius, as they started telling about what had happened when they'd gone to James' house over the Christmas break. Remus, Lily, Dorcas and Emmeline watched it bewilderment as James and Sirius told their tale.
". . . . And then dad said, 'Sirius, you can live here'," James started dramatically, "and we just sat there, flabberghasted - "
"Flabberghasted." Sirius agreed in a mock-solemn voice.
"And then we started jumping around with glee - " James continued, demonstrating the 'jumping around with glee'.
"With very much glee." Sirius added, joining his best friend in the jumping.
"And so now Sirius and I will be living in rooms across the hall from each other in perfect harmony." James concluded, slowly bringing his hands together to demonstrate said harmony.
"Very harmonious harmony." Sirius emphasized, mimicking James' pose.
There was a moment of silence.
"That was weird." Emmeline decided.
"I don't know whether to be shocked, amused or scared." Remus frowned.
"All of the above, I think." Lily mused.
"And we hope you two are very happy together," Dorcas smirked, "Sounds like you're pretty serious."
Sirius smirked, lazing over to sit by his girlfriend on the couch.
"Yeah, you've got competition." James warned Dorcas, wiggling his eyesbrows at her.
"Careful, Prongs. She's actually quite violent." Sirius half-joked, raising an eyesbrow at his best friend.
"What's with those nicknames, anyway?" Lily asked, furrowing her brow.
The three boys exchanged wide-eyed glances and shook their heads with indifferent frowns.
"Nothing."
"Long story."
"Irrelevant."
